Mr.. HANFoRD IN DOUBLE BILL
Americus Is Especially Favored by
Eminent Actor,

While 'The Tanning of the Shrew"
is sufficient for an evenings bill, it is
Charles B. Hanford's custom to cou-
pie it with ''The Old Guard" a one
act play whose pathos and power ex-
coed those of many Yoluminous TRACE
dies. 1t is the story of a soldier I'M
der Napoleon who cherishes honor
above everything, and who is faithful
to a trust even in the face of starva-
ton. In order to preserve the French
atmosphere which is essential to a
proper appreciation of the piece Mr..
Hanford plays his part with touch of
dialect. This exquisite little play will
be given in this city at GIoYer's opera
house on Tuesday Oct. 81 preceding
the performance of "The Tanning of
the Shrew". It's enactment only occu-
pies half an hour and will no doubt be
highly enjoyed by the large audience
which will undoubtedly attend the
performance.

The Sweat Box as an Abuse

Every legitimate and lawful effort
of the police to ferret out and pun
ish crime is to be commended and en-
couraged. But when their misguided
zeal, whetted to a kind of desperate
frenzy by the mystery of murder,
Oversteps the bounds of the constitu-
ton and by depriving a man of his
liberty and subjecting him to sweat
box methods in order to eXtort a
confession from him it is time to call
halt.
The constitution of the United
States specifically declares that no
person shall be held to answer to a
capital or otherwise Infamous crime
unless on a presentment or indict-
ment of grand jury, except in cases
arising in the land or naval forces,
or in the militia, when in actual serv-
ice, i'm time of war and public dan
ger.
1t is time to close the sweatbox. As
an instrument of torture it savors too
much of the Spanish inquisition. 1t
is not only inhuman, but unlawful
Chicago Record-Herald.
The legislatures of the several
states should enact a law to forbid
the use of the sweatbox method to
extort confessions from persons un-
der arrest for alleged crime, if no
other authority exists. The Record
Herald might also have added to its
quotation from the national consti-
tuition, the prohibition from the or
ganic law that no person under ar
rest shall be questioned in such form
that reply would incriminate the
prisoner. In other words, the alleg-
ed criminal cannot be forced to tes-
tify against himself. Commenting on
this evil the Dubuque Telegraph-Her-
aid says:
"a confession eXtorted from a
prisoner would not be admitted in
any court of justice, but would have
influence with the jury. 1t could not
be otherwise. The peace officers have
no authority either in the constitu-
ton or the statutes to make any in
vestigation in the premises. That be-
longs to the grand jury. Peace Off
GERS have authority to arrest and
hold suspects who are entitled to
preliminary trial by Justices of the
peace and if there is sufficient evil
dence to Justify detention they may
be sent to Jail.
''Tbe constitutional prohibitions
are for the protection of the people,
and as it is judicial axiom that in
nocence is presumed until guilt is
proved, the prisoner should have, as
he is entitled to have, protection from

positively unmatched in the state by
that of any other body of medical spe-
cialists. There is good reason for this
they cure the most desperate chronic

their high professional reputation is
therefore merited.
These physicians treat a certain
class of diseases and confine their
practice to them alone.
They treat and cure all chronic, ner-

Their methods of diagnosis and
treatment are scientifically in adj

icine and surgery. They are masters
of all pelvic weaknesses and diseases,
as they affect the male and female,
