REEDER STOPS HERE.
Endorses Clark Smith for Associate
Justice.

Congressman Reeder was in Topeka
for a while this morning. He said that
he had just stopped off to endorse
Clark A Smith of Cawker for supreme
justice, but as Governor Bailey is at
his home in Baileyvi1le today, Mr.
Reeder did not see him.
Mr. Reeder has not been in Wash
ington since he came home three or
four weeks ago for the purpose of TAX
ing his family to Washington. When
he reached Logan, where he lives, he
found Mrs. Reeder Ill, and she has not
yet sufficiently recovered to make
the journey to Washington. Mr.. Reed
er therefore got indefinite leave of alb
sence from Washington and has been
making trips over his district looking
after his congressional fences, fixing
up postoffice matters, and looking after
the needs of his district generally. He
is on his way home from one of these
trips today.

NOLEN APPEALS TO COURT,
Paroled Prisoner Questions Constitu-
tionaIity of Law.

An application for a writ Of habeas
corpus to release John Nolen from the
Hutchinson reformatory has been filed
in the supreme court. The attorneys
for Nolen propose to attack the validity
of the practice of the board of managers
of the reformatory in taking paroled
prisoners back to the reformatory when
they violate the terms of their parole.
Nolen was sent to the reformatory in
1898 from Wyandotte county for bur-
glary. He was paroled in April, 1901,
but about two weeks ago he was taken
back to the reformatory for violating
his parole.
His attorneys allege that he was re-
incarcerated without due process of law.
They seem to look upon his second ar
rest as being the same as that of a man
who is not under sentence. They allege
that the reformatary board has no pow
er to again arrest convict who has
been once paroled.
The theory of the parole law is that
those who are paroled are under the
control of the prison authorities the
some as though they are actually in
prison. They are simply liberated and
made subject to certain rules in order
to be allowed to demonstrate that they
have reformed and becoming lawabid-
ing citizens. When they violate the
rules of their parole they are liable to
be taken back to prison without notice
or trial.

COUNTY TREASURERs LOSE
Illinois Supreme Court Decides Case
Involving Thousands of Dollars.

Waukegan, Ill, Dec A decision rem
aered by the supreme court yesterday
has bearing on every county in the
state, and means the loss of thousands
of dollars to present and former county
treasurers. and the saving to the coun-
ties of an equal amount. It was the
case of Foote VS.. Lake county brought
by the widow of former Treasurer John
Fcote of this county, to recover money
claimed for duties performed as super
visor Of assessments, a special office
created by the legislature in 1895
While the law designated the county
treasurer, and stated that he was to
nave a salary, no amount was fixed
The death of Mr.. Foote changed things
end his widow filed bill with the local
board but it was not allowed the
amount being 5000 for work done two
years as supervisor of assessments. The
case was finally sent to the supreme
court, which held that the office of su-
perVisor of assessments was not meant
to be new one, but was merely desig-
mated as additional duties for the coun-
ty treaSurers.

REDEEM STATE WARRANTS
No Interest to Be Paid After January
21st.

State Treasurer Kelly has given Off
cial notice that interest on warrants
which have recently been stamped mot
paid for want of funds" will cease on
ted December %, stating that all such
warrants will be redeemed in 80 days
and that no interest on them will be
paid thereafter. Thirty days from that
date will bring it to January 81.
State taxes are due on January 10
and already they are coming in to the
state. To the average person it would
apepar as though interest on these out
standing warrants could be stopped by
January 10, as a great surplus of funds
will doubtless be in the state treasury
by that time. 1t may be customary to
let them run longer, but it would be
economy to stop the interest as soon
as possible.

TO KEEP MEN OUT OF JAIL.

SHOPLIFTING.
Why Department. Stores Suffer
Less Than Formerly.

ShoDliftinG is not what it used to be.
This is evident from the few arrests
that have been made this year during
the shopping season attendant upon
the holiday trade. The reason for this
Is the fact that goods in the big de-
partment stores of the city are more
carefully watched than ever before.
In most of the big stores detectives
are employed at certain seasons and
especially at the holiday season when
the rush Of shoppers is very great.
Experience has taught the managers
and proprietors of the stores that it
pays to employ men who are more or
less familiar with the ways of shop
nfterS and. who also know the shop
nfters who have police records What
II costs to employ the detectives Is
more than balanced by the quantity
or goods saved and recovered
Men thus employed in detective work
make frequent tours OF the stores and
are usually within call of a clerk who
mas spotted a person stealing. When
not mingling with the crowds at the
counters they are near the entrance
sizing up persons going into and leaving
The stores. Many of the hoorwalkers in
the stores have become so accustomed
TO watching people that they are able
to easily detect Shoplifters; in fact so
clever have the hOorwalkers in most of
the big stores of the city become in this
the past are due to the efforts of floor
walkers Once a tioorwal1er is success
1ul IN detecting Shophfter he has the
knack of detecting thieves-he has the
necessary experimental from that
time on ne is so familiar with the man
ner In which they operate that he is
able 70 easily detect them.
y,dsooklng after the shoplifters is really a
dtnicult kind of detective work To be
successful and not a bungler in it a man
must have the best of judgment Should
ne make mistake and accuse a person
OF known honesty it would result in a
suit for damages against the owners of
the store in which the accusation was
made. The proprietors must, therefore,
see 10 II that men who are doing the de-
tectlVe work have the proper qualifca-
tons. Especially is this SO in hiring a
man who Is not regularly employed in the
store and would naturally not feel the re-
sponsibility felt by regular employee.
Clerks in the stores naturally get into
the way of watching suspected persons
closely, and this is a great assistance to
the hOorwalkers and the detectives

ciously in the stores, notifies floor

he ISN'T A MEMBER.
Mayor Bergundthal Enters Some
More Denials.

There is a report that the reason the
police have not raided the Elks or the
Arions is because Mayor Bergundthal
is a member of both of these organiza-
lions. When asked this today, the
mayor said:
paign story. 1t reminds me of old
times. No, Tn nc ll--nber of the Elks
nor of the Arions. I never have been

MAYOR REGRETS 1T.
Says Bundy Wasn't to Be Discharged
from Police Force.

Mayor Bergundthal expresses great
surprise and regret that Mitch"
Bundy has resigned from the police
force.
81 don't see why he resigned said
the mayor. I'VE certainly had no in
tention of letting him out. This story
that there is to be a shake up in the
force after January is all rot; there's
not a word of truth in it,
at is rumored that Voiles and White
are slated to go. Is that true?" was
asked.
Nobody is slated to co. said the
mayor. 81 would dislike very much to
have men quit because of these runors
Not one of these men, nor any others,

committee, affirmed emphaticaly what

Counter Treasurer Bowen says that
about $500, 600 has been paid in taxes
and that during the last week about
