In response to an inquiry from Secretary
Olney as to the measures taken to protect
the Americans arrested in the Transvaal in
connection with the late uprising, Ambas-
sador Bayard has cabled that, according to
lis present Information, uniform, humane
and indulgent personal treatment is being
extended to all persons, including Ameri-
cans, by the Beer government This in
formation has been communicated to men,
bers of the California delegation in Con-
gress, who are being flooded with kilograms
urging them to have the State Department
do something for the relief of Hammond

men selling ,Intoxicnnts.
Mrs. Lena CAM .a.widow, who lives on
the old scheutzen Park property on Bright
wood avenue. was before the Police Court
yesterday chargedsywlth keeping an. unli-
censed bar. Her counsel, Lawyer Nauck,
appeared and entered plea Of guilty. In
entering this plea ,gpnnsel referred to the
defendants two sn.aH children, and asked
that her personal hopds. be taken, in order
that she might be pfrpitted to return home
and take care Of her children. The Judge
accepted the plea, but before imposing SEN
tence in the case heard the evidence Of the
police and ., citizen witnesses;
said it was a depiorable thing. and he
thinks that these places are productive of
more evil than any school of vice.
Not long ago." said the court There
tried for violating the law, and in one case
a woman was tried because her husha nd
had fed to escape arrest. In cases from
this section there was more perjury to the
cases. We had old soldiers out there get
ting drunk and tumblfng about the road,
and they never could tell what they drank.
Some of them found lying about the
road Thought they had been drugyed''
Judge Miller commented on the fact of
women with children engaging in this kind
of business, and said he could not see his
way clear to take the woman's personal
bonds because she has the children. Then
he told of how children were used i'll the
policy business to shield older persons, and
said it was not until thirteen-year-old
girl was sent to jail that they gave up the
business.
Counsel said that a man, Mrs. Garz's
brother-in-law. was in business on the
same premises, and MI. Pugh thought that
he did most of the work.
Judge Miller said he would dispose of the
case on Saturday. after the case of her
brother>in-law had been tried
The BrOther-in-Lav. .
George Meyers. the brother-in-iaw. was
next put on trial. and Policeman Yetton
testified that on Sunday night there was a
party at the Scheutzen Park, which he at
tended. and while there he bought whisky
and beer.
After hearing all the testimony, the Jury
returned a verdict of guilty. Notice Of a
motion for a new trial was filed and the
case, as well as that of Mrs. CAM, will be
disposed of week from tomorrow.

her parents when she was only II

age by the essays which she wrote upon
subjects Of the most profound and serious
nature. These gave keen delight to her
gifted father and it was under his strong

developed. The wholesome but devout
religious atmosphere of her home and
early training resulted In endowing her
with fearless. enlightened and sensi-
