LAWYER CORN WAS GAY
Westerner Admitted He Had to Take
Fees From Both Sides

Among the early day settlers OF Smith
county, of whom Judge Dick Pickler wrote
In his Christmas "reminiscences, was At. or
ney 'Dolph Corn, who has been dead for a
score of years. Corn was splendid law
yer, but almost failure in practice. He
knew no more the value Of money than a
child. He loved his family and so long as
they were happy and contented he was
bubbling over with humor and simply
could not be serious for a moment. He
was willing to lose case at any time rath-
er than forego the pleasure Of amusing his
friends with wittickm.
Mr.. Corn once ran for county attorney
and held Joint debates with his opponent.
At one Of their meetings this opponent
irinted broadly at one Of Mr.. Corne weak
nesses as follows: 1T any man here to-
night can say ever took fees on both sides
of case, like some one could name. let
him now stand up and say so. If any one
can say that I ever swindled client or that
I have ever been guilty Of dishonest ac-
ton let him now say so."
Theu came Mr.. Corns turn, and he re-
sponded as follows: "It Is perhaps true that
I have taken fees on both sides, of a case,
and 1t As source of greatregret that some
other lawyer does not move into the county
SO I won't have to attend to both sides.
Gentlemen, 1t may also be true that you
know something Of me that would not
sound we'll If told. If such is the case
want to say that You will do me kindness
to keep quiet about 1t until after the cleo
tion is over"
This view Of the situation so struck the
humor of the voters that Mr.. Corn carried
the township by practically unanimous
vote. "On one OCCASION" says Judge Pick
Ter, "two men came into Corn's office and
had him make out chattel mortgage, and
then the old question arose as to who
should pay for it. One said: You get the
mortgage, and you should pay for what
you get' The other said: You was to give
the mortgage. How could you deliver It
before 1t was executed" Finally one said
Let's settle IT according to custom. i
will abide by It IL you WILL and both agree
ing they left 1t to Corn to say what the GUS
tom was. 'Dolph scratched his head, but
finally ruefuly said: We'll, I don't exactly
like that. So far as am concerned, don't
like customers to abide by custom, for the
custom te that whenever two fellows want
chattel mortgage drawn they come in
here, and when the work is done they
usually get into a quarrel as to who should
pay, and go off without anyone paying for
it, .'"-Kansas City Journal.

NEW YORK, April ls.--Net losses rang

count were more urgent than at any time
since the Cuban question has been an
Issue. There was not much added pressure
of local liquidation in the early trading.
1t Is not improbable that the large SELL
ing for London account was Influenced by
the money markets condition In London
The open rate for call loan money there
has been raised to about the bank rate of
per cent. Berlin discount has also risen
to 3R per cent, compared with the bank
rate OF per cent, and money hardened
appreciably In Paris today. With call
money in the local market responding with
q rise to per cent there Is no diminu-
ton In the pressure in foreign centers for
gold to ship to New York. 1t Is the ex-
pectation in Wall street that the Bank of
England will raise the rate of its dis
count to per cent should war be de-
clared between the United States and
Spain. With large stocks of exchange
still In New York to be drawn upon, this
condition Of affairs might easily have been
the impelling cause for London selling
OF American securities in an effort to
ameliorate the exchange condition. There
was some very heavy holdings thrown
over in the final dealings today, and no
conndent support was manifested any
where In the list.
The bond market displayed an increasing
pressure OF liquidation as the day pro-
gressed, and losses are general through
out. Total sales, $1,375 900.

Two Boys Imprisoned in an Ice Box

New Haven, Conn.-George Russell, 10
years old, and chum of the same age
went yesterday into the big cold storage
Ice box at Kelley's meat market, where
Russell Is employed. and closed the door.
Their candle was extinguished. and when
an attempt was made to open the door
they found that 1t could not be done. Rus
sell pounded on the door with hook and
shouted for help, but the casing was too
thick for his voice to penetrate, and the
two boys remained prisoners for half an
hour. when Russell managed to cut hole
through the door casing and shouted
through it. When the ice box door was
opened the youths were nearly exhausted.

Local Real Estate

The real estate market continues in the
pluggish condition that has characterized
It since the beginning of the present polit-
ical excitement. Very few new deals are
being made. but building continues fairly
active, the permits taken out during the
past week show up unusually heavy, as
they include $50 900 further on account of
the fine building being put up on Broadway
by Homer Laughlin, which has thus tar
cost $15o,O00. The Improvement of the eye-
sore belonging to 3. c. Foy on Spring
street between Second and Third Is sadly
needed He owns l20 feet frontage and con-
templates reconstructing the buildings on
the north fifty feet only, taking in, among
others, the burned out district messenger
office. The new Improvement will be but
pne story in height. 1t Is such lack Of en-
terprise among prominent Spring street
property owners that has already caused
decline In rents on that thoroughfare and
has given strong impetus to the pros
perlty of Broadway as retail business
thoroughfare.

POLICE COURTS VALIDITY.
A Statement That Judge johnson
Intends to Sustain IT.


Judge Johnson was asked yesterday
as to the correctness Of a statement
published in the News to the effect
that his decision in the case of Covell
on habeas corpus would take issue with
that of Judge Hart, which declared that
the Police Court had no legal existence.
The Judge replied that he did not
regard 1t as proper thing TO announce
what his decisions would be before they
were flled in court and declared from
the bench. He said he had spoken
confidentially to the petitioners attor-
ney in order that the latter might have
time TO prepare certain papers before
the decision would be promulgated, but
he had no idea how the matter had
come to be published.
The statement in the News" was to
the effect that Judge Johnson was pre-
pairing decision that would uphold the
Police Courts legality. 81 he does so
decide, this would make a divided court,
and probably the next step would be
to have the Judges of the three depart
ments decide in bank. Then there
would be two holding to one view Of
the case and one to the contrary.
This would doubtless hasten action by
the Supreme Court, but in any event
that tribunal will doubtless be called
on to determine the question at issue.
Judge Johnson did not know just how
soon his decision would be rendered.
