MILDRED CAMPBELL's CASE.
investigation Develops the Operation
of Professional Bondsmnn,

Mildred Campbell, the colored woman
who was committed to Jail early this
month to await the action of the. grand
jury, Oh the charge of having caused the
death of Mrs. Abbie Comphers through a
criminal operation, was released on oail
late yesterday afternoon in the sum of
$500. james a. Brown qualifying as her
surety.
The woman's release was obtained by
her counsel, Messrs. Jones and Langston,
after several unsuccessful attempts. the
parties offered by them on previous occa-
sio1s not being satisfactory to Judge Brad
ley or the district attorney. 1t is under
stood that more than one of the rejected
bondsmen were refused because they were
found to be bondsmen in several other
cases pending before the Criminal and Po-
lice Courts
Judge Bradley. being made aware of the
fact that there are number Of men who
are classed as professional bondsmen,
whose business it is to become sureties
only in consideration of money paid them
by the accused parties or their friends,
decided that he would do all he could to
put stop to such practice. He therefore
directed the clerk of the court to carefully
examine the records. that no person offered
in the present in any other case should
be accepted as bondSman where 1t ap-
peared that the proposed party was in
business as professional bondsman, and
as 10 WHOSE responsibility lNere existed
the slightest doubt.
The records of the District Supreme Court
show that many persons have in recent
years been accepted as Donds:nen against
whom stand forfeitures of recognizances
In more than one instance it is stated,
parties offered as sureties have declared
that they were not on other bonds, when
the records of the court showed to the
contrary. OF course, such a statement
under oath IS perjury, and Il such false
swearing is detected in the future it Is.
the intention of the district attorney to
vigorously prosecute the offending party
or parties.
1t is the intention of Judge Bradley and
the district attorney to hereafter accept
no one as surety unless the records of the
court give the proffered bondsman a clean
bill of health, as it were. In this way 1t
Is believed that, so far as the District Su-
preme Court is concerned, the business of
the professional bondsman, whose opera
lions are said to have largely increased
during the past year or SO, will DE practi-
cally broken UP. and the government will
be fully secured and the interests of JUS
tice no less fully protected.
The same state of affairs is said to exist
in the Police Court. Indeed the business
of the professional bondsman IS understood
to be in a most fiourishing condition there.
But 1t is reported that steps will also there
be taken to break up the practice.

Charles Brown, a poor, woe-begoEe
tramp, who claimed to be paralyzed on
one side, was prisoner today before
Judge Scott to answer a charge of having
threatened to- shoot Charlotte Harris, a
servant in a family on North Capitol
street.
Charlotte told Judge Scott that yester-
day morning the accused stopped at the
house where she is employed, and asked
for breakfast. He twas informed that as
the meal had been served he could not be
acc ommodated.

quick will do some shooting" said
Brown.
Charlotte did not get the meal, but she
did advise Brown to move along while he
was at liberty to do so.
Brown continued to make threats as to
what he would do. but an, officer happened
along and took him into custody.
The accused told the court that hunger
compelled him to ask for something to ea.,
and he denied that he said anything about
doing any shooting. In default of $50
bonds he went down for thirty days.

The evening meeting was addressed by
the Rev. a. c. Gaebelen. on the visions Of

Mr.. Gaebelein said the prophecies of the
Old Testament are always to be under

the Jews and their land or nation. He also
said that the vision to Peter, of the sheet
let down in which were unclean animals,
from Jewish standpoint, was for him to
understand that God had called to him the
Gentle also. and this fact Peter at once ac-
cepted. and acted accordingly. This demon
strated Peters thorough conversion, since
Il strait-laced Jew would not have personal
relations with Gentle.
The speaker also referred to the growing
feeling among the Jews for a return TO
the land of Palestine. and especially of such
feeling existing among the Jews of Russia

In q recent communication to the So
ciete Internationale des Electricians
concerning the therapeutic and physio-
logical effects of high frequency currents
M. d'Arsonval showed the powerful in
ductive effects which can be obtained
with these currents. A striking expert
ment consists of placing three lamps in
tension, allowing the current to pass
through the body. These currents cause
no sensations, and man placed in a
circuit does not feel that he is traversed
by the currents which brilliantly illu-
inmate the lamps. The principal results
of this electrification arc an augmenta-
tion Of the oxidations in the organism
and an increase in the production OF
heat. A subject who, under ordinary
conditions, eliminates II to 2l liters OF
carbonic acid per hour throws off 81
liters after having been submitted &c

not act solely upon the surface Of the
body, but also profoundly upon the in.
terror All of these results have been
obtained upon number Of subjects by

M. d'Arsonval cited, in closing, the
action exercised upon microbes and bac.
terra by these currents. The microbes
and bacilli are modified, and the 'tox-
ines are killed and transformed TO vacI

HAWAII IN CONGRESS-

news relating 10 llaWdl fecelNcu
bv the last steamer i the state
ment OF Senator Perkins. Just
what influences have caused this
turn in the opinions Of the Califor-
MIA Senator are not known. From
what can be gathered from the pa
pers. the California delegation is
receiving hot shot from two direc-
tons. The sugar beet magnates
are fighting the treaty and the
business men Of San Francisco
together with manufacturers
throughout the country having
dealings with Hawaii are bringing
a strong influence to bear TO pre-
vent any disturbance of the pres
ent relations The politician can
size up the strength of these OPP
posing factions pretty well, and
a desire to compromise might be
expected a. the outcome Of a deci
sion that the two are pretty well
matched.
Unless some unlocked for event
comes mp, the question of anneXa-
ton will probably be kept in the
back ground during the present
extra session. The fight will come
on the treaty and it is highly prob
able that the alignment Of Cor
gressional votes on this proposition
will be fair forecast of how the
votes will be east when annexa-
ton is brought to the front. An
nexation and reciprocity will be
fought and defended on practical
" the same grounds. The bug
bear Haunted by the enemy in
either case will be the large Asia
tic population.
Reports upon the significance of
Senator Nelson's bill for the abro-
CATION of the treaty are conflicting
Senator Perkins opinion is given
in the newspapers, while private
advices state that comparatively
little Importance is credited 20
this latest move and the discussion
of this measure will be put off to
the regular session. Should Mel
sons measure be forced upon Con
oress. the annexationists ought to
feel free to come out and make
their fight.
In all the discussion for and
against Hawaii one thing Is notice
able. Few if any of the enemies
of the treaty and annexation are
prepared to assert that the United
States shall give up its claim to
Pearl Harbor or withdraw one iota
from the sentiment previously eX-
pressed, that the United States
will allow no other nation to med
die i'm the affairs of this country.
Whatever the outcome of the
tariff bill and the measures for the
abrogation of the treaty, the Unit
ed States will continue to keep a
tight grip upon the country. The
situation simply SINNERS down to
this: one set of Americans are sat
isfied with dog-in-the-manger
policy and the others are not. If
the former are victorious, Hawaii
can do nothing, but make the best
OF it.
As suggested by Mr.. Thurs
ton the only thing for the people |
of this country to do Is TO make
hard fight for annexation. 1T the
Hawaiian sugar clause runs the
guantlet successfully III the new /
tariff bill, the agony is merely pro
longed for a time. With every
succeeding change in the political
complexion of Congress the same
old ground will have to he fought
over again. And If the past is
