Don't commit crime, or get suspected
of committing it. Mrs. Fleming, whose
acquittal from the charge Of sending
poisoned clam chowder to her mother,
Mrs. Bliss was secured by the able
work Of Lawyer Charles W. Brooke, is

Mayor Jones of Toledo thinks his cleo
tion means something. He says: 1t Is
a great triumph for the common peo-
pie, and indicates the beginning of a
movement for equality of opportunity
that is destined to sweep this country
It cannot be accounted for on the mar

larity of the candidate as the partisan
press of this city is seeking to show.

from the long night of bondage to party
superstition, class hatred and slavery
to the corporations.
The government of the Congo Free

Judgment has been given in the Bis
rnarck photograph scandal case, and
two enterprising Hamburg photograph |
ers have been sent to jail. The night |
Prince Bismarck died they bribed the |
watcher, and entering the room in |
which the body lay by a window, took |
q f1ashlight photograph of the dead |
Chancellor. This they tried to sell, but |
the Bismarck family interviewed on the |
ground that it's permission had not been |
given. The perpetrators were caught |

mans did not notice a clock on the wall |
which marked the exact moment when
the picture was taken. This told the
police which watchers were on duty,
and the men named the persons who
had taken the pictures. The case has
dragged through the courts for nearly |
a year and has just been decided, Sen
fences of from three to six months i'm
-risonment were inflicted and the pic
lures have been suppressed.
