Prisoner GOES Wild.

Mon. Chung, a Chinaman under in
license, made a scene in the judiciary
building yesterday forenoon, disturbing
the four courts sitting at the time. He
jumped up from the criminal bench in
Judge Gears court yelling, "Aole polo
lei,' meaning that things We're not
right. Still yelling he pranced about
until removed by the officers, but kept
up his outcries all the way through the
corridors and down the stairs to the
patrol wagon. Whether he had gone
crazy or was only feigning insanity is
uncertain. There had been some talk
in court previously about his mental
condition, and possibly from that he
may have taken the cue for his Wild
ness,

WALL STREET BUBBLES.

The failure Of the Shipbuilding Trust,
which is an incident of the smashup
in "industrials," is described by so
conservative a paper as the New York
Evening Post as one "in which nearly
every element of indecent cheating ap-
pears TO have been present" One of
the men whom the trust ruined, Mr..
| Daniel L. Dresser, has been describ-
ing its methods in court. 1t appears
from his testimony that Mr.. Schwab
had purchased the Bethlehem Steel
Works for $7,000,000 to unload on the
shipbuilding combine. He worked
among the stockholders until he had
induced them to buy his steel plant
giving in return for it bonds to the
amount of s1O,0OO.OOO, backed by
bonus of s10,000,000 of the preferred
stock of the shipyard trust and $10,-
900, 900 of the common stock Of the
concern. Then the combines stock
holders entered into second agree
ment, under the terms of which the
stock bonus held by Schwab should be
thrown on the market and sold in ad-
vance Of any other of the shipyard
trusts securities.
That is to say what Schwab bought
for 100000 he sold to the trust for
$30, 000, 900. OF the common and pre-
ferred stock he marketed $6,750, 600
worth and still had on hand first
mortgage bonds in lie sum of $10.O00,-
600. His net profits were $3.50, 900.
To make matters worse Schwab is
now trying, through foreclosure of the
bonds, to secure the entire plant of
the shipbuilding trust including the
Bethlehem steel works which he sold.
If this scheme succeeds, the old in
vestors in shipyard securities will lose
every dollar they put in and the new
lot of buyers will find themselves bur-
dened with liabilities instead of assets.
Transactions like these account for
the panic in Wall street and the sud-
den collapse of even good securities.
People had bought 'industrials'' with
free hand. Faith in Morgan and
Schwab had led them on in the belief
that the value of the shares would
steadily rise.N When the crash came
faith in everybody collapsed. If Nor
gan and Schwab were not able to make
good, who could be trusted? AS the
swollen N ass of '.industrials'' toppled !
and fell, all securities slipped down hill |
after them; and now even a gilt edge |
is not a recommendation for a bond |
unless it was put there by the Gov
eminent.
Happily the panic has had no bad |
effect on the country. Common pros |
perity is not involved and there is no |
sequel in hard times. So long as the
people can sell for a profit what they |
raise or make, they will not bother |
much about the vicissitudes of steel |
stocks or get-rich-quick investors.

Judge Viewers Lawsuit.

Judge p. L. Weaver's proposed law
suit on the appropriat ton bills will not
involve the validity of the appropria-
tions, as some have supposed from the
mere fact that the published statement
did not explain the purpose of the in
tended action to that extent. 1t is
only meant to obtain the notification
of certain words in the first section
which place both the collection of rev.
enue and its expenditure under time
limitations other than biennial.

SECRET LAND DEALS.

Elsewhere herewith the Advertiser
gives the details of various proposed
government realty transactions involV-
ing several hundred thousand dollars
worth Of land. These deals are being
negotiated privately by the superin-
tendent of Public Works and the Com
missioner of Public Lands. No one
except the officers and the individuals
interested, knows exactly what pub
lie lands are to be exchanged or what
the Governm- is to receive in ex-
change or what the relative values are.
The Advertiser makes no imputation
against the probity or honor Of the
officials who re handling this matter
or of the individuals who are dealing
with them, nor does it suggest that the
transactions in question are not bene-
fetal to the public and perfectly fair.
The block of land in one Of the par
ticular cases mentioned, viz: the opera
house block, adjoining the court house
lot on the Eva side, will be an ex-,
tremely valuable acquisition by the
Government if it can be had at fair
price.
But this paper does object to public
affairs of this magnitude, which have
not received legislative sanction, being
conducted in secret.
If the proposed transactions are in
the public interest, the individuals con-
tcerned will not suffer If the public
knows the facts.
There may be vital reasons unknown
or unthought of by the officials why
certain public lands desired by private
parties should not be sold. If pub
licity Is given to every proposition OF
this nature, objections may be develop
ed which would never have been known
but for such publicity.
The Advertiser is not now Directing
to any one of the deals in question,
as it does not possess information upon
which an intelligent opinion can be
based. All that is objected to is that
ANY tranaction of this kind should
be carried through in private. 1t
urges upon tie private interests in
volved as well as upon the officers who
are representing the public in this
matter, that in their own as we'll as
the public interests, full public state
ment should be made of exactly what |
is proposed.
After such publication, reasonable
time should be allowed to elapse before |
action is taken.
The statement has been made by |
Mr.. Cooper that he wishes to close
these deals before he leaves office. This
is unnecessary and improper. The new
administration is an honest and pro-
gressive one and can be depended upon
to carry through to contamination
any negotiations which are for the |
public interests, which are uncomplet-
ed when the present administration
goes out of office. Any attempt to
rush transactions of this magnitude
through without the knowledge of
either the public or the new admins
tration will be unseemly.

No provision for such a contingency
has ever been made by congress. ac-
cording to the lawyers. In all the states.
where an offense has been committed
partly in one county and partly in an
other, the criminal may be tried in
either county at the pleasure Of the
authorities. When an offense is com
mitted partly in one state and partly
in another the lawyers frankly confess
they don't know what to do II the
theory outlined above IS correct, when
any one desires to commit murder all
he viii have to do is to inveigle the
victim to Guthrie and shoot him from
the opposite side Of the street.
The same thing Is true of the line be-
tween Utah. Colorado, Arizona and
New Mexico, where all four OF the
states touch one another. There a man
might stand in one state and kill peo-
pie in three other states.

A NEW LEGAL PROBLEM.


A PROBLEM that threatens to throw
the Ann puzzle far in the shade
has arisen in a certain section Of Ken
lucky. Up TO date only the lawyers
are involved in the argument. but the
disease, if it may be called that. is like
ly to spread throughout the state and
into Tennessee. The trouble arose this
way. TO begin at the beginning:
The line between the states Of Ken
lucky and Tennessee runs at one point
through the town Of Guthrie. one side
of Guthrie's Main street is in Kentucky:
the other side is I'm Tennessee. The
other day two citizens engaged i'm a
shooting match. one was on one side
of the street. in Kentucky. the other
was on tine other side of the street. i'm
Tennessee. Unfortunately. they were
poor marlsmen. Neither was hurt
Nor was q bystander shot
We say unfortunately. and we mean
unfortunately IF somebody had been
shot the argument might not have
arisen 70 vex the lawyers Of Kentucky
and Tennessee, and perhaps Lawyers an
over the country. Suppose one of the
duellists had been killed. How would
his slayer have been proceeded against?
say the man In Kentucky Killed the
man in Tennessee. 1t is obvious that
he could not have been tried in Ken
lucky for he had committed no crime
there. He could not be extradited to
Tennessee for only fugitives from jus
tice can be extradited. and not even
then IL they flee to Indiana after hav-
ing participated in the assassination Of
a Democratic governor Of Kentucky.

WOMEN As employees.

IT HE MANAGEMENT of the Grand
Trunk railroad has announced the
discharge Of all the women clerks in its
employ. The reason stated is that the
women spend their time in chewing
gum, in eating caramels, in nibbling at
more substantial refreshments and in
frivolous conversation. 1t is asserted,
too, that they devote more thought to
methods Of securing husbands than to
their work. This is a cruel Indictment
Of the women who had the misfortune
to be employed by the company that
has discharged them, and we shall de-
cline to believe it is well founded.
At the outset we are willing to admit.
too, that railroad and other corpora
lions are not in the habit of dtschargfDg
competent employees just for the sake
of discharging somebody. And it is
quite probable that the company to
which reference is made had just cause
for complaint. If it hadn't had what
it considered just cause, the women
would not have been discharged. That
much is certain. It is to be regretted.
however, that a public statement of the
reasons was made. Such indictments
are calculated to bring all women en-
pIoyes into ridicule.
1t may be set down as a safe general
rule that business women are just as
attentive to their work, just as careful
Of the interests Of their employers, as
business men. They spend no more
time in chewing gum and eating cara
mels than men spend in smoking and
chewing tobacco, most of the time not as
much. As to the talking, well, there is
a point on which it is hardly proper
for the pot to call attention to the ket-
tie. Many men are fond Of making
sarcastic comments about the alleged
tendency Of women to gossip.
Now we believe we are strictly with
in the facts when we say that fewer
characters are destroyed in sewing cir
cles than in clubs for men only: less
illnatured comment is made about the
doings of absent people at pink teas
than at stag parties. A group of men
herded together at their work in a sin
gle room without any responsible au-
thority to oversee them will converse
just as freely as any group Of women
similarly situated. The Grand Trunk
authorities viii undoubtedly realize this
before they have thoroughly broken in
the young men who are to take the
places made vacant by the involuntary
retirement OF the young women.
