Louis Keener, the young man in
dicted for illegal voting at Urbana,.
appeared before Judge Middleton in
the court of common pleas Wednesday
morning and changed his plea of not
guilty to guilty as charged. He was
gwen the minimum sentence of one
month in the county Jail. Keener's g
attorney in his statement asked the
court to suspend sentence and said that
similar offenses had been committed
and "winkeG at,'' but not by the
court, whereupon Judge Middleton
said that that was no reason why he
should suspend sentence but on the
9th hand he was inclined to believe
that he should MAKE an example OF
the defendant. In referring to the Pc
tition presented by the mother OF the
boy, Judge Middleton said he nc
doubt believed that it was presented
in the very best of faith, but that such
procedure which was an effort to in.
fiuence the court was highly improper
and that hereafter under no circum.
stances would he ever receive a peti
tion asking for clemency for any in
dicted person.

Locomotive engineers of experience
and observation are almost unanimous
in their condemnation of the lofty type
of passenger engines adopted by many
of the railways recently. They insist
that many accidents have occurred be-
cause the laws of grsvitation have
been too much ignored and that the
standard gauge of modern American
railways is too narrow as a base for
the huge locomotives, the weight OF
which have been lifted upwards until,
when a curve is struck at q high rate
Of speed, it is more GOOD luck than
good forethought that prevents an ac-
cident. While the engineers may ex.
aggerats the dangers. the question, in
view of recent occurrences in thii
country, is well worth looking into by
experts. Leader.
