1t is refreshing to read outspoken4
condemnations by judges, even if no
in their judicial capacity, of the ten
dency of police authorities to violate
fundamental law in their efforts to de-
tect comparatively minor offenses.
Such condemnation is that of Judge
Gaynor, Supreme Court justice of
New York, in paper he contributes
to the North american ReUieW for jan
uary. The following quotation from
Judge Gaynor ought to be pasted in
the hat of every police official, from
country constable TO city superintend-
ent:
''It is often of little consequence,
and seldom Of great consequence,
whether an individual suspected or
actually guilty of criminal offense,
be arrested or convicted OF it; but it
is always of transcendent importance
that he is not arrested or convicted
except in accordance with those re-
strctions and safeguards which the
people, taught by dire experience of
arbitrary power, have by their con-
stitutions and laws prescribed. We
have in our fundamental instruments
of government in this country, called
constitutions and bills of rights, cer-
tain guarantees OF individual liberties
and rights, including freedom from
unlawful arrests, invasions and
searches, which we inherit from magma
charta and the common law of Eng
land They are the warp and
the woof of our system of laws and
government, and without them free
government cannot exist"
But the police are not alone in need
OF reminders such as that, and Judge
Gaynor takes occasion to admonish
the people themselves of the dangers
with which police lawlessness, even
with good motives, is pregnant:
"Crimes and vices are evils to the
community; but it behooves free
people never to forget that they have
more to fear from the growth of the
one vice of arbitrary power in govern.
ment than from all other vices and
crimes combined. "-Tbe Public.

Georgia, to the executive appropria-
ton bill which provided for an appro-
priation of $3.50, 900 for the purpose of
enforcing the Sherman law and at the
same time directing the Attorney Gen.
eral to prosecute all violators of that
law.
Mr.. Hepburn, Republican of Iowa,
offered substitute appropriating
100000. Mr.. Hepburn's substitute,
which was adopted, was as follows:
THAT for the enforcement of the
provisions of the act of July 2, 1890,
the sum Of $500, 900 is hereby appro-
priated out of any money in the treas
ury not heretofore appropriated, to be
expended under the direction OF the
Attorney General in the employment
OF special counsel and agents OF the
Department of Justice, to conduct pro-
ceedings, suits aud prosecutions under
said act in the courts of the United
States; provided that no person shall
be prosecuted or be subject to any
penalty or forfeitures for or on account
OF any transaction, matter or thing
concerning which he may testify or
produce evidence, documentary or
otherwise, in any proceeding, suit or
prosecution under said acts; provided
further, that no person 30 testlfying
shall be exempt from prosecution
or punishment for perjury committed
in so testifying. This appropriation
shall be Immediately available"
Mr.. Bartlett asked Mr.. Hepburn to
incorporate in his amendment q pro-
vision directing the Attorney General
to enforce the criminal clause Of the
Sherman law. Mr.. Hepburn objected
to this on the ground that it might be
interpreted as a reflection upon the
Attorney General.
This appropriation will meet witt
very general approval. Every pos
sible effort should be made to encour
age the administration to proceed
against the trusts. When this appro
p priation is placed at the administra
tons disposal, it is to be hoped tha
y Mr.. Roosevelt's Attorney Genera
would feel under special obligations tt
commence criminal prosecutions be
cause of the fact that Mr.. Hepburn OBJ
jected to the incorporation Of a specia
provision to that effect on the groun'
, that it might be Interpreted as re
Election on the Attorney General.
: Inasmach as Mr.. Knox's part
: friends in the House could not objec
i, to criminal prosecution Of the trust
n and yet were eager to avoid any "re
IL Election" upon the Attorney General
VI would seem that Mr.. Knox would deer
it necessary to make a serious effor
q against the trusts by way of crimina
r prosecution. If he does not do this
he might, at least, explain to the pee
pie why he fails to enforce the chic
feature of the anti. trust law.-W

Two Were Rorrowed.

Apropos Of President Roosevelt's
fondness for large families, story of
his experience as police commissioner
is told by sergeant now on the force.
1t seems that the wife of policeman
who had just been fined a weeks pay
for drunkenness appeared one day In
the commissioners Office, accompanied
by three neatly dressed and attrac-
overlooking children. Her pitiful story
of back rent, which the subtracted
wages was to have paid, and the sight
70 the children moved Mr.. Rooseve1ts
sympathy, and, taking out his pocket
book, he gave to the woman the
amount her husband had been fined.
The next day the husband appeared
at headquarters and was asked by q
brother officer;
'Say, how many children have you
at homer
"One" was the reply.
'But your wife was around here yes
terday with three children"
''Oh, yes" said the culprit. "She
borrowed two of them for the occa-
sion.'

$500, 900 IS REFUSED
FOR AN OLD LOG CABIN

The recent refusal Of James and
Henry Derllison of Swissyale. Pa, to
sell their property adjoining the Car
RE furnaces of the Carnegie Steel Com
pany at Rankin to the United States
Steel corporation for sum said to
be 100000 has created considera bic
interest in the property. Interest is
especially directed to the old log house
on the property, which is one OF the
Oldest houses in Greater Pittsburg and
has a history replete with interesting
events. The Dennison farm comprises
forty acres Gf river frontage west Of
the Carrie furnaces. 1t was originally
known as the Troy farm and was own
ed by Eneas McCallister, who patented
the land October 10, 1874. The orig
inal patent embraced 1872 acres.
On December II, 1888, McCallister
sold out to John Mcdowell part of
the land, including the old Jack Ad-
ans farm, on which the Carrie furn-
aces stand. He also sold at the same
time part of the Troy farm to Rine-
hart Ants, who In turn sold that part
to John Milligan. John Mcdowell liv-
ed In the log house still standing Mag
nus Murray purchased the farm IN
1916 and 1t was sold by the sheriff to
John Reed In 1922 for $1,000. Real
estate suffered a marked decrease In
value after that, as is shown by the
fact that on March 10, 1882, John Adj
ans purchased q large portion of the

It Is not generally known that John
w. Guiteau, brother of Charles j.
Guiteau, who shot Garfield, Is In many
respects the greatest statistician In the
world. Guiteau is veritable crank on
figures, but his crankiness Is very prof
table. Just now the government Is
under contract to pay him $4,000 for
certain tabulations. The big insurance
companies are his profitable clients.
Guiteau Is the only man who has sue
ceeded in getting inside the books Of
Dun's and Bradstreets commercial
agencies. 1t was he who gave out the
startling statement that the books Of
these companies contained but per
cent of the names that were there
twenty years ago! What pathetic
story OF the premature deaths and
business failures of twenty years.
But here Is more Of the same
sort! Guiteau says that Of the
men of this country who live to
be 60 years of age so out of every
100 are absolutely dependent upon 9th
ers for living. That Is an appalling
revelation. or every 1000 human

A MACHINE TO MAKE THE DEAF HEAR.

Miller r. Hutchinson has been giving
some wonderful exhibitions in New
York City with his ACQUISITION" ap-
paratus, designed to enable the deaf
to hear.
AS most cases Of deafness are only
partial and result from missing or
defective parts Of the ear, the Acousti-
con Is made so as to correct these
faults.
The middle ear is separated from the
outer by the ear-drum, and is an air
sman bones, one end Of which Is at
tached to the drum, and the other to
the 'oval window" or outer men,
brane of the inner ear. Sound waves
striking upon the drum cause 1t to

THE ACQUISITION is made to take the
place Of the middle ear. 1t consists
of a mouthpice, an ear-cap and store

speaking 1t may be stated that the new
machine takes up sound waves and
transfers their energy to the fluid OF
the inner ear.

farm for $1,000. The present farm
was purchased by the father OF the
present owners for a very small con-
sideration. The log house on the prop
erty Is only a part of the original build
ing erected by Eneas McCallIster about
1854 and which was used as n road
house for many years. The house con-
tains a winding stairway and a cabi-
net mantel which were made In Eng
land. They are of solid oak and hand
somely carved. The nails used In the
building, as well as all the hardware,
are hand made.
The United States Steel corporation
desired to purchase the property to
erect mill and a number Of blast
furnaces about a year ago and made
repeated offers, the last one, 1t is said,
being 100000 for the property, all
OF which were refused. Difficulties
arising over the purchase Of property
by the Carnegie Steel Company from
the Dennisons years ago Is the cause
of their refusal to sell the ground to
the company.

The British navy has adopted new
device for supplying warships with
fuel. Big steel barges are equipped
with travelling cranes, two to each
barge, moving along rails laid on either
side Of the matches. When a warship
arrives at a navy yard for ~coaling,
one of the barges Is towed alongside
and the coal stored In the hold is
worked out by means of the cranes.
Each barge can carry 1900 tons, and
the cranes are capable of transferring
this amount to other vessels in a com
paratively short time. The barges are
officially known as "haulabouts."

MISTAKEN FOR A UNION spy.
One of the Amusing Incidents During
the Recent Hotel Strike.

the Recent Hotel Strike.
It was dance night at the Hotel del
Prado, but owing to the sudden STAN
pede of walters that morning the great
dining hall had not been cleared, and
consequently there was no dancing The
musicians, however, were filling the
air with rag-time noise, and the corri-
dor was thronged with excited people
talking together In groups. Every
stranger who entered was eyed sus-
piciously and discussed In whispers.
A poorly dressed woman carrying Il
shabby travelling bag came In, went to
the office and asked for room for
the night. She made no inquiries as
to rates or location, and when asked
TO register did so in a hesitating, I'M
certain manner. She followed the bell
boy to the room assigned her, which
was on the first floor, with window
overlooking the street. Immediately on
entering she locked the door, but did
not turn on the light. This reused
suspicion. Later on she did not re-
spond to knock; this reused mere sus-
picion.
~ spy" they said, "a union spy,
sent here to find out about the state OF
things In the house."
A detective was stationed outside
the door and a policeman patrolle1 the
street outside her window. The latter
reported that she had opensd the VIM
dow.
Meanwhile bewildering rumors were
floating around concerning the strange
lady. such as that she was a private
detective; that she was Il man In wo-
mans clothing: that she had dynamite
house: that she was going to signal
to the pickets outside and let the I'M
ionists In through the window; that
