THE HEATING, THE LIGHTEST AND
STRONGEST BICYCLE IN
THE WORLD.
QUERIES.
QUERIES.

Why is the Heating wheel the most pop
ular bicycle? Because in simplicity of
construction, durability, finish and ease of
running, 1t rivals any bicycle in existence
to-day.
What are some of its points of superior
ity? There are many, only a few of which
can be noted here. principally may be
mentioned its bearings it's fork crown it's
flush joints, its rear fork braces, its in
Interchangeable chain-all these are entirely
new ideas, therefore are bound to find IA
vor with the rider who is ever on the alert
for improvements and wishes the "up-to-
date" wheel.
What is the special claim regarding the
bearings? They are absolutely dust
proof, and no dust can possibly enter.
HAS machine, equipped with these
bearings been put to practical use? Yes,
one machine was ridden over 1900 miles,
and, when taken apart, was as free from
dust, and the bearings were in as perfect
order as when it first left the factory.
What about the joints? They are made
so there are no square shoulders either in
side or out; they taper out gradually thus
preventing Capitalization.
A new fork crown? Yes, it is the Keat-
ing, and of entirely new design. 1t is in
three pieces, handsomely nickel plated
and undoubtedly the strongest yet invent
ed.
Where is the material obtained? From
the Weldless Steel Tube Co. of Birming-
ham, England, who produce the best tub
ing known to bicycle construction. The
connections are of special quality of
Swedish steel.

NEW BICYCLE RECORD.
Edward 5. Edwards Covers. More
Than $40 Miles in "a Hours.

New York. June 13.-Edward S. Ed
wards, the Welsh rider of the Century
Wheelmen Of New York city. raised the
American record for twenty-four hours
road riding to $40 % miles to-day. The
best previous record S14 miles, was made
by Smith at Baltimore several weeks ago
Edwards rode over the track known as
the Elizabeth Railway course, a distance
OF twenty-one miles, in Union county. The
roads are macadamIzed, but four miles
are undergoing repairs, making the riding
in that portion bad. Edwards started at
s o'clock Saturday night from Bauers' no.
tel, near Elizabeth. The race was held
under the auspices of the Century Wheel
men of New York, and members of the
club paced their plucky rider with singles.
tandems and triplets. Edwards rode the
same wheel throughout.

THE INDETERMINATE SENTENCE

1t is said that the indeterminate sem
tence law is very materially increasing
the cost of the administration of the
criminal laws in Indiana. Before the
law was enacted large percentage of
the criminals arrested pleaded guilty in
the hope of receiving a light sentence;
but under the new law, cases in which
the judges and juries cannot fix the SEN
tence almost invariably go to trial
This, of course, greatly increases the
number of trial cases.
The duration of the sentence depends
upon the offenders conduct in prison
rather than upon the facts brought out
at the trial. The officials say that the
law has the effect of making better
prisoners" The court officials say
that it adds greatly to the court ex-
penses.
1t is not exactly clear just what is
meant when it is said that the law makes
better prisoners" Does it mean
simply that the prisoners are better be-

A SENSIBLE SUGGESTION

Police Commissioner Gibbon at yes
terday's meeting of the board minced no
words in referring to the braZen atti-
tude assumed by the Poker Davis gang
of bunco steerers. Mr.. Gibbon was very
much in earnest. and it is fair to pre-
sumo that the police department will
display a little more vigor in its atten-
tions to the bunco men who hitherto
have enjoyed an extraordinary and dis
graceful immunity.
Mr. Gibbon suggested that the patrol
men be notified to sound note of warn
ing whenever they see strangers in the
company of the confidence men; also
that officers he placed near The bunco
establishments for the purpose of dis
closing their character. Chief Glass re-
Piled that such notification had already
them had failed to obey orders. Such Il
confession of slack discipline is mat
ter for the commission to deal with
promptly If an officer will not obey
the confidence men, the sooner he is re-
moved from the force the better. Po-
licemen are for tine protection of the
public, not to wink at the operations of
bunco steerers A dose of discipline ad-
ministered to the detectives on the same
prescription would have a salutary eff
feet
Chief Glass cited the case of the Rose
gang of bunco steerers who were run
out OF town some ten years ago through
just such methods as those suggested by
Commissioner Gibbon. The good work
can be repeated, and the officials viii
have the hearty corporation of the press
and the public in prosecuting the good
work.
The proposition to prosecute cases
against the bunco men under the law of
conspiracy to defraud has already been
outlined Under this statute the conf
dence men cannot swear each other out
of the clutches of the law through a
"preponderance of evidence" the plea
that has served them SO well in times
past.
The bunco men must go. The sooner
they realize this and act accordingly the
better will it be both for them and for
the community

SENATOR WHITES DILEMMA


The Herald this morning reproduced
from the San Francisco Examiner an
interview with Senator White upon the
all important point of the senatorial
succession in California, with special
reference to his own attitude. Mr.
White is unquestionably sincere in say
ing that his personal interests call for
his retirement at the end Of the present
term.
AS business proposition, there is
nothing that should induce the senator
to make the race again. AS the leader
of his profession in Southern California,
Mr.. White can make great deal more
money by the practice of law than by
serving the people at Washington. But
money is not everything with loyal
American citizen. Both California and
the whole nation need the splendid SER
vices of Senator White at the national
capital. 1t is fervcntly to be hoped that
Mr.. White may be willing to make the
personal sacrifice and again go before
the people of this state for reelection.

THE RAILROAD SITUATION

A recent decision of the United States
supreme court, bearing upon the long
and short haul clause, greatly curtailed
the interstate commerce commissions s
powers, which already We're hardly suf-
ficient to warrant it's continued exist
ence The point at issue was whether,
when there was competition between
railroad and water transportation, the
railroads must file lower rates with the
interstate commerce commission. The
court decided in the negative.
The interstate commerce commission
is the unfortunate victim of its OWN
weakness. Criticisms are frequently
passed upon it because it does not en-
force the law, but quite often censure is
based upon u mistaken conception of
the duties and powers Of the commits
sion.
The commission is not, as explained
by Commissioner Knapp. essentially a
judicial body, 1t is an administi ative
body with certain limited judicial func-
tions. No matter what wrong doing
there may be, the power of the commits
sion to interfere is strictly circumscribed.
1t can collect such facts for the grand
jury as may be within reach, but it can
not punish the offenders.
Although the commission may declare
tariff unreasonably high, it cannot pre-
scribe tariff for future use. It's max
mum power is to indicate what in it's
judgment would be right, and then leave
the interested parties to adopt the sug-
gestion or discard it as they see fit.
1t is understood that the individuals
of the interstate commerce commission
favor pooling System, which is strictly
forbidden by law. The existing law per-
mits competition, but not discrimina-
ton. A pooling law would kill competi-
tion, and experience with the companies
in the past goes to show that it would
not prevent discrimination.
The difficulties Of the railroad situa-
tion are msny. One Of the reasons for

the other two nations should refuse to
renew it Germany would be in danger Of
exemplifying another splendid isola-
ton among nations. 1t seems certain
that close treaty relations have been
created between Franco and Russia.
Should Austria and Italy enter into en-
gagements with the British, the situa-
tion of Germany might bo critical in
deed.
The German government will un-
doubtedly make strenuous efforts to pre-
vent such a consummation. Both Aus
tria and Italy are debtor nations III
large amounts; their obligations are
mainly held by British capitalists, and
Great Britain has always an eye for
commerce. The German kaiser has not
concealed his pique towards his grand
mothers government and country. and
this tendency has been strengthened by
his desire to secure the favor of the czar
OF ItuSSla. Inc BrltlSn government
fully realizes Emperor Williams atti-
tude. and while he has been hobnobbing
with Nicholas the astute statesmen of
Albion have been effectively employing
diplomatic inducements to remove his
supports.
The course of the German emperor
has not been such as to gain him friends
or to retain those he had. He has been
abnornally active, has fitted about like
a humming bird in q flower garden, and
has seemed TO think that the whole
weight of Europe rested on his shout
ders. At home he has maintained the
attitude of being ready to smash things
when affairs did not suit him. He has
patronized and coddled emperors and
kings. only studiously avoiding French
presidents Milton said of Moloch that
