HUMPHREYS ON SPIES.

Judge Humphreys is down on the
secret service of the police depart
ment foa reasons unknown to the
taxpayers. Yesterday an alleged
illicit liquor seller was found not
guilty by jury, and Judge Hum
phreys made the following spiel:
"A man who will deliberately in
gratiate himself into the confidence
of another for the purpose OF be-
trayiug that confidence, and while
with words of friendship upon his
lips he is seeking by every means in
his favor to obtain an admission
which can he tortured into con-
fession of guilt, which he may play
on the world, as means to accom-
5plish the downfall OF one for whom
he Processes great friendship, can
not be possessed Of very high
sense of honos or OF moral obliga-
tion. Hence the law looks with
suspicion on the testimony OF such
witnesses and thu Jury should be
specially instructed that in weigh
ing their testimony greater care is
to bs exercised than in the case of
witnesses wholly disinterested. 1t
is doubtful If anything is really
gained in the administration of the
law from the admission of such
testimony. II it is answered that
confessions are thus obtained which
could not otherwise be had it may
be said in reply that the same is
true OF the rack and wheel by means
of which confessions were formerly
forced from its victims but which
experience showd were entirely un.
reliable"
The court further added that he
didn't believe there was another
place in the world excepting per.
haps Russia or France which was 80
infested with police spies as is Ho-
nolulu,"
Does the learned judge presume
that the laws of the Territory can
be upheld and enforced by the
High Sheriff aud dis Deputy with
out the assistance of secret service
FORGET Does the great jurist think
that the high officials would be
served with liquor by Illicit dealers,
if they made their request in psrson9
His objection to the Secret Service
must bs based an instances in the
past when the firm OF Humphreys
and Mcdonald wished that all Off
cers under the police department,
would sit way back. II the Judge
understood his business, propriety
apd decency, he would encourage
the police department, and support
the licenped dealers OF liquor

The Logical Marriage.

In Small City there was a Girl
who was Rallying Cry among the
Men, but Target OF all the Femi-
nine Spite. She was a Mans Woman,
and that is why her own Sex never
got tired of using the Hammer
when her Name came up. She could
give six Callers undivided Attention
all at the same time and be Good
Fellow every minute. So. OF course,
she was bold little Mink.
In the sans Town there was a
Boy who was Aces aud Fights with
the Girls, but when any Man heard
the Name he made the Sign of the
Upper Cut and said, "In Minute"
The Males had no use for one who
could discuss Tatting and who said
sob, . Fiddler when he was Pro.
voked.
At every Opportunity the Men
would get in a few mean Hooks on
the grille Boy and the Young Wo-
men would stand up for him aud
say they didn't care, be was awful
Nice, 80 there
Then some Man would begin
boosting the Tom Boy Girl, aud
that would be a Signal for the
Feathers to fly.
One Summer the Mans kind OF
Girl aud the Girls kind OF Man
went and got Married, which simply
horrifed every one. His Friends
were mad and her Friends were just
as mad. There was some talk of
setting FIRE to the House in which
they lived.
And yet, If they had stopped to
consider, he was the only Kind of a
Man she could Marry, and she was
the only Kind of Girl qualified to
protect delicate Piece OF Work
Moral:-The Logical Marriage is
the one that causes the most Talk.

SAYS He HAS DONE NO WRONG.
w. F. McGrain Questioned by Post
Office Insnacfnr

Post Office Inspector Sullivan visited Clay
ton yesterday and had an interview with
W. F. McGrain, alias w. F. Martin, who is
held by the county authorities on charge
OF vagrancy, pending the investigation of
the charge that he duped a number of
women in St. Louis and got money from
them under false pretenses.
Mr.. Sullivan had with him the letters
written by Mrs. Laura Hamilton, of No.
1887 Washington boulevard, and other women
of ST. Louis, demanding the return of the
money that they gave him to bet on the
races McGrain still maintained that he had
done nothing wrong. and that 1t would be
impossible for the officers to convict him.
Mrs. Fannie Wright Summers. who tden-
titled McGrain as man she knew by the
name of Martin, yesterday wrote him let
ter saying that she was satisfied that the
money she gave him to bet at the Delmar
track had been placed to the best of his
judgment. McGrain glanced at the sigma
ture and then refused to read the letter.
Sheriff Hencken turned 1t over to Post Of
flee Inspector Dice.
Miss Edna Rea of No. 1856 West Belle
place. when visited by Mr.. Sullivan yester-
day. said: "Mr. McGIain received no mon
ey from me. / answered his advertisement
and arranged with him to become the COM
panion of an 11-year-old child. When he
proposed that l let him have SO to bet on
the races I became suspicious. returned
home and wrote him a letter. declining the
position. 1 am willing to lend my assist
ance in prosecuting him."

AN EXPERT SWIMMER BROWNS.
George Clawsen Sinks in River,
Trying to Win Wager.

George Clawsen, Al years old, a boss car
penter. employed at the New Valley Ele-
yator. being built on the river front, East
st. Louis. was drowned in the river shortly
after y o'clock yesterday. Fifty men wit
messed his death. but were powerless to

covered.
Owing to the heat Clawsen gave his men
a half holiday. All had brought their
lunches and 1t was agreed that they should
take dip In the river before eating their
lunches. and then parties were to be formed
to go to the parks to spend the remainder
OF the afternoon.
Clawsen was an expert swimmer and more
than once had displayed his prowess in the
water. He wagered with one of the men
that he could swim half way across the
river and return to the same spot from
which he started.
Clawsen started but had not gone more
than 100 feet when he cried "help!' He
was seen to struggle for an instant and
then he disappeared in the current. Boats
were hastily manned and an unsuccessful
attempt was made to find the body.
Clawsen's home is in Toledo, o.. where
his wife and several children reside. He
also had relatives in Elkhart, Ind. He was
formerly very prosperous dairyman in
Sandusky. o., and had been in East st.
Louis only about three months
Clawsen's relatives offer a reward Tor the
recovery of the body.

PAYING COMMISSIONS.
Passenger Rate situation Disturbed
in Central Association Territory.

Cleveland. O., July 2S.-Passenger rate
ton are considered to be in precarious
condition at present, and whether they will
be able to obtain peace without an open
rupture Is q matter to be decided, with.
however, the chances against 1t. So many
interests are contending this summer, and
SO many passenger departments are show
ing big decreases as against last year, that
tain business in any way that Is at all
possible.
The outgrowth Of this state of things Is
that one road is now said to be on the car
pet before Commissioner Donald Of the G.
P. A. charged with having paid commits
sions. while another has to explain how, in
direct disobedience tc the rules Of the bu-
reau. some 500-lnile books have found their
way first into the hands Of travellers and
with other things, Rave created the ncce s.
sity for some passenger men to write long
and interesting letters to Mr.. Donald 2x-
planning how the thing all came about.
The violation of the anti-commlssion
agreement is said to be one Of the int st
serious traffic offenses Of the year. ard
such punishment as is possible vii: be
In question is said to be rather out Of The
way, with some connections to vital
points which are not desirable. In order
to obtain business the road in question ia
charged with having gone to the limit Of
dividing Its income with the ticket agent,
who. in turn. has done the right thing by
the passenger, and while dividing the COM
mission q second time has cut the rate.
II was this practice that was condemned in
the original agreement. and it will a'so be
the occasion for another meeting and a
conference soon.

Personal and Current Note,.

About ten days ago the Burlington man
agement sent an official representative to
Nebraska to Investigate the condition Of the
corn crop and make an impartial report.
This representative returned to Chicago yes
terday and his report to the passenger de-
partment OF the company Is pessimistic In
the extreme. He says that the continued
heat has almost totally destroyed the corn.
He says that regardless of the weather that
may exist from now on the crop cannot be
helped. This report Is out OF the ordinary,
as i has been the prevailing opinion that the
Nebraska crop had not been damaged to
the extent that reports would indicate.

vanta Railroad headquarters to stop the GUS
