VETERAN HOBO BACK TO
SCENE OF FIRST ARREs T

There was a noteworthy meeting at
the police station last evening. A
hobo who had just hit" town applied
to Desk Sergeant Andrew Etzel for a
nights lodging. His locks were gray
and the marks of many years on the
road were upon him.
The desk sergeant has good mem
DRY for faces. Seems to me I've seen
you before he remarked to the
knight of the road, after close scru-
tiny. The wayfarer had good mem
DRY too. ''Guess you have" he re-
piled, you're the one who first put
me back of the bars 30 years ago
Then the two fell to discussing old
times and the events that have trans
pred in the intervening years since
the officer, then as now, Il member of
the force, first landed the applicant
for the shelter of the station behind
the bars.
Though the hobo had been floating
about the world for so many years
and has attained to probably some
thing beyond his Goth year he is still
hale and as able as ever to make his
living without working.

DARRow's RADICAL MEASURES
Five of Them Intended to Change the Law
That Does with Criminals.

Springfield, Ills, March g. = Five
bills designed to radically change
the present criminal laws of
yesterday by three members. but they
all emanated from one source. Clar-
ence S. barrow introduced three, all
the rules permit in one day. but he
wrote all five of them and had friends
introduce two of them, and will per-
sonally fight for their passage. One
barrow bill abolishes all common law
crimes in Illinois, making it impossi-
BILE to indict. prosecute, or try any per-
son except for a violation of a statute
of the state; the second bill abolishes
all conspiracy laws under the common
law, and third repeats the Illinois
statutes on conspiracy.
The common law abolition bill was
presented by McMann. Another OAR
row bill was handed up by Luke,
which provides that i'm all criminal
cases the defendant as n matter of
right must DC given the privilege of
the closing argument.
Representative barrow said in eX-
PLANTATION of his bills: mo lawyer
is smart enough to know just what is
a crime in Illinois. He may read all
the statutes, IN which crimes, felonies,
and misdemeanors are enumerated and
then not know, because under a de-
cision of the supreme court of Illinois
twenty years ago, anything held a
crime in England under the English
Ncommon law may also be held a crime
in Illinois, and they are constantly find
ing new actions that constitute crime.
The conspiracy law is damnable.
Under it stock brokers, coal dealers,
men who organize for any purpose, are
liable to Indictment, and none of us
can escape If the conspiracy law is
drawn against u.s.

people all over the state are manifest
ing intense interest in the local option
bill pending in both houses. Members

other mail combined. Nearly 1000 let
tiers and 30QteIegrams are waiting here
for Senator Haas, of Chicago, chair
man of the license committee, whicil
has charge of the measure in the up

Later in the proceedings Sherman
rose to a question of personal privi-
lege and read from the house journal
of two years ago to show that the bill
referred to by Shanahan was a stock
yards bill prepared by the committee
on live stock aud dairying. The reason
for this reference, he said, was that
the bill originated in committee hav-
ing no jurisdiction of the subject mat
ter-the license committee.
The attempt to change the refer
ence of the bill failed.
