to blame has hot yet been determined,
bat there is intense chagrin in the dis
trict attorney's office that the ptey is
sl'pDing through the law's net.
The blunder came in permitting Hen
ry Levinson to plead guilty and an
nounce in open court that he was to
turn State's evidence. Within an hour
six person, implicated by him in his
confessions, are known to have lft
town.' Following Levinson's complete
confession to the district attorney last
night, six warrants were issued. These
were returned by detsctives today with
the statement that all had disappeared.
A general police ahrm has been sent
out, and they will be extradited, if
caught. " "

Tomorrow is Mothers

In every city and town in the United
States tomorrow will be celebrated as
mother's day.
A whita flower is the emblem of the
df.y. the white representing-purity in
all countries and all civilizations, and
tbe busy men and women of the world
are req tested on this day to ear the
flower as a mark of the respect and
bvo they have for the mother who
brought them into this world. '
All that is asked is that men and wo
men over the world shall pin; a white
flower to their dress on the second Sun
day in May and write a letter; home to
mother, if she is living. The idea, is
so full of appeal that poor unfortunates
who are not sure they ever hd a mo
t her take a curious and' pathetic pride
in displaying the white flower.

London, May 6. England was shock
ed last night by the news that King Ed
ward aa 1W. : Nu news had been e
eeived from Buckingham" Palace for
two days; then came the doctora' bulle
tin that King Edward was suffering
from bronchitis in a form which caused
some anxiety to his physicians, two of
whom were sleeping in Buckingham
Palace In order to be on hand in case of
need.'1
The Queen, who crossed from France
yesterday was alarmed at the infor
mation. She had expected to find the
King awaiting Jier at tbe station. She
visited the sick room as soon as she ar
rived in London, and spent some time
at the bedside of the patient. She dis
played the greatest anixiety and ques
tioned the doctorsv
The fact that his illness had been thus
concealed from the publie caused the
alarm when once it became .generally
known. The King suffered from a simi
lar attack at Uiarritz.owing to the incle
ment weather and cold winds, but it
was supposed that he had completely
recovered. The King spent the week
end at Sandringham with the object of
combating the threatened attack andl
returned apparently better, but the
sudden changes In the weather this
week finally compelled him to keep in
doors.
He still attended to state business,
huwever. and granted audiences. In
fact, it ws only today that his physi
cians were able to induce the King with
great reluctance to keep to his bedroom
