have not only the some protection

LAWYERS LICENSES.

Times-Democrat.
The Supreme Court decided yes
terday that attorneys-at-law prac-
ticing their profession must pay
licenses, like others. 'The pro-
fession of law has no special pri-
vilege over other occupations"
Judge McEnery, the organ of the
court, declared.
This is justice and common
sense, but it is astonishing how
long a contrary doctrine has pre-
vailed, and what a long struggle
the tax collectors have had to COM
pei the lawyers--or at least a
large proportion of them-to pay
their dues and licenses like other
citizens. Some of them have ia
ken advantage of their position to
carry on a constant and irritating
litigation, keeping the State out
of its money, and generally SO tir-
ing the tax collectors that they
have abandoned all efforts to make
them pay licenses. The amount
derived from their source hereto
fore has been infnitesimal.
There is not the slightest reason
why the lawyers should be exempt
from the payment of licenses, but
every reason why they should pay

HUSSEY CHARGED WITH ARSON
Several Recent Fires I'm Northwest
Part of Town.

Patrolmen Reeser and Cox last night ar
rested Charles Hussey a young man about
twenty-five years old, and charged him with
arson. These officers run in the Tenth dis
trict, and recently there have been a num-
Der of small fires on their beat. Three of
these fires have occurred in the last week.
and there was a strong suspicion of incen-
diary origin. Two of the fires were at the
corner of Fayette and North streets, where
a house, owned by Mr.. Schoheld, and a
blacksmith shop. owned by Philip Ryan
were damaged. Last Thursday the office of
DR.. Walls, at (oId} No. IS Indiana avenue.

to more than $50.
1t is claimed that Hussey was seen COM
ing from at least two of these places shortly
before the fires We're discovered He lives
at the corner of Vermont and Blackboard
streets. The police say he has had no oc-
cupation for several years The motive
that prompted the young man is not known

COunterfeiters Brown and Hansen Get
] a Heavy Dose.

When the United States Court convened
yesterday morning Heinrich A. Brown, the
Valparaiso photographer, charged with
counterfeting, threw up his case and
pleaded guilty. This was due partly to the
strong case made out by the government
the day before and partly to the fact that
the jury which tried Theodore j. Hansen,
his understudy, brought in a verdict of gull
ty. The court examined both men before
passing sentence and each told his story of
how they had prepared to make counterfeit
money from plates that were made by the
zinc etching process from genuine money
Brown endeavored to shoulder the blame
entirely upon Hansen and Hansen returned
the compliment by declaring that Brown
was responsible for the whole business
Judge Baker declared that he believed them
equally guilty and fined them each 500 and
