The Story Respecting Charges Filed
Against u State Ofiicial.
st. Paul, Sept. 19.-The story that
Assistant Dairy Commissioner Gra-
ham had been receiving money from
dairy machinery corporations seems
to be unwarranted. 1t was denied at
the governors office this morning that
an affidavit had been filed there to the
effect that Graham had been paid q
salary of $4,000 by the Western agent
of the De Lavel Separator company.
Nothing was known of such affidavit,
more than was published in some
morning papers.
Il. J. Graham said to-day: "rhere
have been no charges preferred
against ME that know of. There was
no censure of my act by the board Of
state fair managers. There has been
no affidavit filed as to my receiving a
salary from the Alpha company. AS
a matter of fact have never received
IL proposition from that company and
have not made any to it. There nev-
cr even has been a gift or favor from
that machine company to me. The
only thing l know about charges is
what have seen in the papers. There
are absolutely no grounds for the
statements in some Of the papers,"

"The State Itself Under the Innu-

s'The State Itself Under the Inhu-
ence Of Criminals.
Denver, Sept. ia sensation was
created in the prison congress by a
paper on "Politics and Crime" writ
ten by Amos q. Warner. professor Of
economy and social science in the Le-
land Stanford University of California
and read by John N. Dryden of Kear-
ney. Neb.
''If the state itself is under the in
boldly plunging into his subject. ''how
can 1t hope to reform criminals? Set
ting thief to catch a thief was an
old-time doctrine, but the plan of set
ting thief to reform thief has never
yet been defended. The representa-
tivcs Of the state with which GRIM
inals are most frequently brought into
contact are policemen, police justices,
slleriffs. shcriffs' deputies and Jail
keepers-Only shade, If Mt all, bet
ter than the criminals themselves.
The hope of cure of criminals largely
lies in the curative treatment in the
early stages. Petty offenders and
those on the verge Of criminality in
the large cities seldom or ever get be-
yond this line of guards and live more
or less in their presence. The police
to them represent the state.''
1t was the sentiment of the dele
gates present that a man Of Prof.
Warmers standing would not make
such broad assertions unless lie was
able to back them up. The paper was
ordered filed and thanks given to the
professor.

pie are pouring into this region almost
as thick and fast as they did thirty
three years ago. But they are not all
men this time, and they are not
armed, though some of the old yeter-
ans. both of the North and Of the
South, are attircd in their old army
rcgimentals. Many of these old fei-
lows have their wives and children
with them, and they have been look

lines and then took carriages.
ChattanOOsa's citizens have thrown
the town open to the visitors, and IL

done by the enterprising dwellers in
Chattanooga.

Saoh Will BE the vindication OF the
Grand Jury.
Minneapolis, Sept. 10. - Mrs. Lola
Perkins, in her comfortable cot In the
Hennepin county Jail last night. was
ono Of the happiest women in Mime
sota. Happiness is only a relative
term. This little woman behind the
iron bars and the rough whitewashed
walls of her cell realized that the
world would soon know what she has
always known, that is, that she was
innocent, not only of the murder of
Mrs. Hawkins, but innocent of the
many vile SANDERS that rise like
miasmas whenever q woman is placed
behind prison bars.
Mrs. Perkins has been told that her
case has been considered hy the grand
jury and that it will fail to find a
true bill, which means her dismissal
from arrest and her vindication be-
fore the world. The presumption is
that when the grand jury gets ready
to report to the court this afternoon
it will state that no bill has been
found against Mrs. Perkins.
