REESE SET FREE.
Judge Thayer Says the Arrest Was II
legal.

legal
St Louis Mo-, Jan. 16.-Judge Amos
Thayer of the United States Circuit
Court to-day, ut Topeka, granted an ap-
plication for n writ of habeas corpus
and ordered the release of John 7.
Reese, n member of the executive
board of the American Mine Workers
of America. who was arrested at Fort
Scott, Kansas, charged with violating
an injunction of the District Court of
Kansas.
Last October. when n strike was in
progress in the mines of the Western
Coal Company of Missouri. In Kansas.
a suit was brought enjoining any one
from interfering with the men at work
therein. John =. Reese went to the
scene of the strike from his home in
Iowa. and was arrested for address,
ing body of miners. He was convict
ed of contempt of court and committed
TO jail. He then made application for
the writ of habeas corpus, which was
granted to-day.
Judge Thayer rules that while n
court may punish for any act that
might he construed as an objection to
the execution Of the laws. il has no
right TO impose Il penalty where inde-
pendent or individual rights are in
volvcd. II was contended by counsel
for defense that as the injunction did
not include any save those who We're
citizens of Kansas he could not be held
amenable TO 1t. II was chiefly on this
point Of non-jursdiction that the case
was submitted.

The shooting was the result of an al

Anderson In connection with the
Packer case. Attorney Anderson was
and blows followed. Then came four
shots. The attorney walked from the
room. Tammen and Bontils were ly-

Tammen was shot in the shoulder

For this he was taken to task by the
proprietors of the paper.
Warden Hoyt of the state peniten-

night that Anderson -nad Il long talk

Packer toward payment for services in
endeavoring to get him released from
Imprisonment. The warden was in

little of Ii.
Yesterday Packer told Warden Hoyt
that Anderson distinctly claimed To be

thinks Anderson claimed also 10 be Il
director Of the Post company.
The stories of the shooting as told
by the persons in the room differ wide

Anderson claimed that he was beaten
by Tammen and Boniils and then shot
them. 1t is certain that he was struck
In the face several times. Tammen
states that Anderson was the ag-

lnspector-General Breckenridge. re-
porting to Secretary Root. suggests the
employment Of officers returned from
foreign service, and unable to perform
other duty. as professors OF military
science at military colleges. There
are many indications that the reign
of peace is yet far of. and until the
millennlal sun chases away the martial
clouds that brood over every land it
may be wise to instruct the youth OF
the country betimes in military drill
and discipline. A defensive force will
always be necessary here as elsewhere.
and this plan offers congenial and easy
tasks to men whose health has been
injured In their country's service. and
promises to provide at least n frame
work on which to build up an efficient
force to meet any national emer-
gency.

CARDS Krebs us a remarkable type OF
that class of human beings known as
"degenerates." From medical stand
point his mind is diseased; from po-
lice standpoint he is n mischievous
criminal; but so fur as can be learned
from his own confession and from u
thorough inquiry into his record krebs
has never been guilty of any ofense
but the destruction of clothing. He de-
clares that he suffers from an irresisu-
BILE tendency to injure and destroy hne
dresses and other garments ana mas
gratifed this unnatural perversity four
or five times every day for months. He
has carried II sharp knife In his pocket
and has done his work in street cars,
crowded retail stores. In the lobbies OF
theaters while the audiences were leav-
ing and at other places where we'll
dressed women are to be found crowd
ed together. With his knife In his hand
he says he would pnss through such
crowds and slash cloaks and dresses on
either side as often rs he could do SO
without detection. 1t was usually nee
essary for him to destroy three or four
before his unnatural passion was sat
isfied, then he would feel dizziness,
followed by IL violent headache, on ev-
cry occasion.
The doctors believe that Krebs Is tell
ing the truth and that he is afflicted
with destructive mania which should
send him to an insane asylum rather
than prison. He has done n great
deal of mischief in this city as well as
in the other cites named. Every day
for months before his arrest complaints
Were made to the police, and 1t was
noticed that no cutting was done In 9th
er cities while such complaints were
made In Washington. II was therefore
concluded that the work was being
done by one man who went from place
TO place. and since the arrest of krce@
there have been no eases reported.
