FINISH A HoRSETHIEF.
Beau Brummel" of His Profession
Now in Prison.


Kenosha. Wis, Jan. 1S.-George
Downs, formerly a Kenosha man, was
sentenced 10 an indeterminate sen
tence Of from one to 20 years in the
prison at Joliet, H., at Rockford, H..
and this sentence win probably end
the career of one of the most remark
able criminals ever known in southern
Wisconsin.
Downs had pleaded guilty to the
charge of horse stealing and asked
nor expected no leniency from the
court All of the fight which has
characterized his earlier criminal ca
reer was absent.
Ten years ago Downs first made his
appearance in Kenosha as a horse
trader and he was the Beau Brummel
of his trade. He always had a fine
line Of horses and his word was as
good as mis- bond. He came and went
in Kenosha for years without being
suspected of any crime 1t was stated
that he was married man with a
family and that the wife was a social
leader at Oak Park, one of the fash
ionable suburbs of Chicago. Downs
was an expert on horses and some of
the finest horses in Kenosha have
been brought 10 the city by him.

to start the fire which destroyed Kent

The womans object, young Schir-

attention of the pOpulace and the
sheriff's family while an attempt
would be made to release Schumacher
from the Jail. Young Schumacher
had been supplied with a mask, sand

Method of Election.

France takes the election of a pres
ident more quietly than Great Britain
that of a parliament. The reason for
this is simple. There is no popular
campaign or general election. Neither
is any vital question of party policy
or legislation at stake.
Yesterday the senators and dep ties
met at Versailles to elect NJ. Loubets
successor. On February Is NJ. Loubet
will have served his full term Of seven
years The law requires that his sue.
cessor shall be chosen one month be
fore the presidential term expires. In
NJ Loubet's case, however, in-.neu.aie
action was provided FOX because OF
NJ Faure's death in Office
As there are 500 senators and 591
deputies. 446 votes were necessary for
a majority election in full session. 4
member of the French parliament may
vote for any candidate he may see fit.
He is not bound by party platforms or
party nominations. A few of the orig.
inal 20 life senators chosen in the
early days of the third republic still
survive. But under existing laws sen
ators are chosen by electoral colleges
in the departments, made up largely
of elective officials The deputies are
elected directly by universal suffrage
to represent districts. As matter of
course, senators and deputies are not
chosen primarily as presidential elect
ors, but as lawmakers,
Il might be different IL the president
of France possessed greater powers.
AS it is he appoints the cabinet min
listers, but the chamber Of deputies de
termines their policies and tenure Of
office In all his official acts he must
move through his ministers The
treaties he negofiates must be au-
proved by the chamber Of dec uties,
and he can wage no war, except AZ
ally il defense of the nation, without
the consent Of the chamber Of deputies.
But fcr NJ Loubat'a emphatic refu-
sal it is probable hat he would be
elected for o second term. The French
law explicitly provides that In. presi-
dent shall be re-eliElble. But Af Lou
