Unsuspected Bank Clerk Pleads Guilty of Robbery. William H. Bell, the 19-year-old bank clerk, who recently confessed to stealing the package of $55,000 from the First National Bank, at Pensacola, Fla., was arraigned before a United States commissioner and entered a plea of guilty. Bell declared he had no accomplices in taking the money from the bank, or in returning it to the back door of the bank where it was found by the negro janitor. His bond was fixed at $5,000. In his confession, Bell declared he yielded in a moment of weakness in taking the money, but, after he had it, he did not know what to do with it. He said he desired to have sentence levied for his crime as quickly as possible. Bell was not under suspicion up to the time he presented himself to the bank president and confessed to the crime. Gaynor Stands Up for the Hatpin. Mayor Gaynor is not in sympathy with the crusade to suppress the wearing of hatpins with unprotected ends. Several attempts to pass an antihatpin ordinance in the board of aldermen have been made recently, and the mayor expresses his opinion on the subject in a letter to one of the advocates of the ordinance: “I must confess,” he writes, “I never saw any one hurt by a lady’s hatpin, but since you say so, and since the prefect of the Rhone department, in France, as you say, has issued an edict against ladies’ hatpins, I suppose they must do much slaughter. But is it altogether seemly for a man to get his face so close to a lady’s hatpin as to get scratched? Shouldn’t such a fellow get scratched?” Cripples Play Exciting Ball Game. A large crowd of sympathetic friends and school comrades watched the ball game on the old league grounds on Huntington Avenue, Boston, recently, between the nines of the Massachusetts Hospital School, of Canton, and the Industrial School for Crippled and Deformed Children, which resulted in a victory for the Industrials by 19 to 14. Nearly all the young players on both sides were handicapped by some form or another of bodily injury, and the running had to be done in many cases by substitutes, but neither their good spirits nor skill seemed to be affected greatly. The Canton school was outplayed in the early part of the game, but picked up toward the end, and the ninth ended in a blaze of glory with two home runs in succession, one of which was knocked by Noel Metras, who is pitcher for his team, and has had both legs amputated below the knee.
