Young Thief Caught with Women's Money When John Cramer, 19 years old, gave up his position at the Avenue House, Evanston, and prepared to leave Friday night, he found that he did not have enough money. So he took $40 belonging to Emily and Rosa Mudrak, chambermaids, form their room a the Davis street hostelry. The theft was discovered within a few minutes after Cramer's departure and the police were notified.d The lad was caught in Chicago and brought back to Evanston. He returned the money to the women and begged not to be prosecuted. He was arraigned on a charge of larceny, three different warrants being sworn out against him. HE was given a hearing before Magistrate Boyer and was hled to the grand jury on bonds of $500. Being unable to secure bonds he has been taken to the county jail. Letter Carriers Must Make Report The annual requisite from the post office department at Washington which calls for the amount of work--in every respecct--done by the local branch of the mails has been received in Evanston. By this form, each and every postman must tell how many steps he takes daily, how many, approximately, letters and packages he delivers, what is his hardest run and other information. The general employes must conform with the rulings by making plain how many hours they work on an average, what seems to be their greatest obstacle, and other smaller questions too numerous to mention. The report is an annual one and is for the betterment of the postal service. It always has the tendency of slowing up the service, as it is impossible for the carriers to work as fast when they have to secure all this data. Therefore the majority of Evanston people will be glad when it is all over. As a rrule, each carrier has a little notebook and pencil which he carries conveniently while making his trips. As he walks along he jots down little items that are needed in making his report. Building permit Brick addition to residence, 822 Church street, Owner, Mrs. H.P. Hayes. Cost $1,600.

Play next Saturday will be the first round of match play and the first round of medal play for a trophy presented by Mr. L.B. Taylor. Speeders Seeking Breeze Arrested If the warm weather has done nothing else it has swelled the coffers of Evanston, as sixteen speeders have been arrested since Saturday and each one was given a fine. The speeders were driving fast in search of a breeze, it is claimed, when they were brought to a halt by the police. The atmosphere was then made warmer for them. Early Saturday morning Officer Larkin arrested a driver for speeding and when given a hearing it was found that the party of seven were a bunch of real "joy riders." Charles Bachus, son of a wealthy hotel owner of Milwaukee and Chicago, was in charge of the party. He told Magistrate Boyer that he and two other young friends went to a dance hall in Milwaukee, where they became acquainted with three young women. When the dance hall closed they decided to take an auto rice and Bacchus hired a machine. Saturday was the fourth day they had been on the "joy ride," the police claim. Bachus said his father would pay for the automobile. The police magistrate gave the party a good talking to and then fined the dirver $13 and costs. Bachus and his friends raised just enough money among them to pay the fine. They started for their homes in Milwaukee. Will Get Proceeds The members of the Woman's Guild of St. Matthew's Episcopal Church have made arrangements with the Evanston Stock company to share the proceeds of the performances of "In the Bishop's Carriage," presented on Sept.25 and 26. All tickets sold by members of the guild will net 20 per cent of the total for the church fund. Mrs. A.V. Coffman, 2415 Harrison street, is in charge of the sale for the guild. Gave Chicago Flat to Kin William M. Hoyt purchased $100,000 Apartment House for William M. Hoyt II and sister Prominent Winnetkans William M. Hoyt II and his sister, Miss Sarah Elizabeth Hoyt, well known in the younger social set at Winnetka and grandchildren of William M. Hoyt, the wealthy wholesale grocer of Chicago, became householders last wek through the generosity of their grandfather. He presented them in a joint deed with an apartment house worth $100,000. William M. Hoyt II recently became twenty-one years old while his sister a few days later attained her eighteenth birthday. The present therefore in a measure commemorated the coming of age of the elder Mr. Hoyts two favorite grandchildren. The presentation was made in the home of N. Landon Hoyt, son of William M. Hoyt and father of the recipients. N. Landon Hoyt, for the present, is made trustee of his son and daughter in handling the property. The apartment house is on the notheast corner of Grand boulevard and Thirty-eighth street. It has a frontage of 100 feet on Grand boulevard and the ground extends back to Calument avenue. It is regarded among the choice property of the city. As part payment for the property Mr. Hoyt gave the housese 1223 and 1227 East Forty-Sixth street. William Hoyt II and Miss Betty King Cunningham caused a big surprise early in the summer when they eloped to Kenosha and were married. The couple had been engaged for some time, but their parents had not announced it, believing them too young to be married. The couple, however, thought differently and stole a march on the "old folks." They motored to Kenosha and were wedded. They returned home to Winnetka but were not greeted by angry parents, as they had expected. Their parents only stated that they believed both of them too young to be married. Hoyt was still a student in the University of Wisconsin a the time of his marriage. "There is no special significance to Mr. Hoyt's gift to Billy and his sister," said Mrs. Hoyt when speaking of the present. "He wanted to give Billy something, so he bought the flat building for both and gave each one an equal share in it."

Welcome New "Y" Officials Men to take places of B.V. Edworthy and N.T. Miller Ready to assume duties Have had experience When the Evanston young Men's Christian Association throws open its doors for the fall work there will be found two new men in the employ of the association. One is F.A. Turner, who succeeds B.V. Edworthy, who has gone to Plains, Montana, as director of the boys' work. The other man is Clarence A. Brown, who takes N.T. Miller's place as assistant physical director. Mr. Miller, who has been assistant for the past year, will attend the Y.M.C.A. training school in Chicago for the coming season. Both of the new men come well equiped for the work in hand and promise to become valuable members of the staff at the Y.M.C.A. F.A. Turner, the new director of boys' wor, has had three years of experience in Y.M.C.A. work. He comes from Hartford, indiana, and attended Marion college. His first association work was in the capacity of assistant secretary at Marion. Has Had Experience Two years ago he became associate boys' director at the Y.M.C.A. at Omaha, Nebraska. This boys' department is one of the largest in the country, enrolling more than 6000. Mr. Turner was a scout master of the Boy Scouts of the Y.M.C.A. in Omaha and for two years has promoted garden club contests, in which he has had an enrollment of more than 1,200. He helped conduct an athletic meet for the thirty-five district schools of Omaha, which was attended by 6,000 people. The latter experience will prove very valuable to him in the supervising of the Evanston Grammar School league, which has been so popular for the past few years. Mr. Turner was a Bible class teacher both in the association and the Methodist church. He was exceedingly popular with the boys and his experience makes him peculiarly well fitted for his new duties with the Evanston association. Mr. Turner has opened his office in the enlarged and remodeled boys' room, and here he will be glad to meet any boys or parents of any boy, who are interested in membership of the association. The two rooms devoted tothe boys' work last year have been thrown into one large, light and attractive game room. In one corner is a desk and place for the transaction of all business for this department. The large front room, adjoining th egame room, and which was formerly used for a doctor's office, has been remodeled and will be used for a reading room. Here wil be found all the magazines that boys like, and in the game room will be found facilities for playing checkers, cue roque, chess, inside baseball, shuffle board, ping pong and other games. This gives the boys of the association the finest equipment they ever had. Asssitant at U. of K. Clarence A. Brown, who is now the assistant to Mr. Bixby in the physical section, has been for the past year assistant physical director in the University of Kansas. He has been a student at the same institution for the past three years. While there he has been a member of the tumbling team, the high bar and parallel bar squads. He is a fine tumbler and gymnast.
