RACINE FATHER PLAYS FAGIN.
Children Arrested Say They Were
Taught.

Agnes and Mary Sorensin, aged ten
and thirteen years respectively, were
arrested at Racine, charged with THEFT.
They sobbingly confessed to many
crimes and said that their father in
Chicago had taught them to steal and
said he would kill them il they told
any one of the manner in which he
had directed them. The real life Fagin
is the father of seven children and
kept the two girls from school in order
that they might steal for him, accord
ing to their confession. The father, it
is alleged, made no pretense at work
ing and was supported only by the
work and crimes of his children. The
girls stole clothing, coal from cars
standing on the railroad tracks, and
anything else they could lay their
hands upon.

FARM TRANSFER LEGAL.
Peculiar Suit Disposed of by La Crosse
Court.


Judge Fruit of the circuit court at
La Crosse has just decided an inter
esting case entitled Frank Newberg
VS.. John Ritter The persons named
are related to each other, and were on
unfriendly terms. The plaintiff sold
his farm to the defendant, valued at
$4,000, but after the deeds had been
signed and the property transferred,
the plaintiff did not know what he had
signed, and did not intend to sell the
farm The peculiar part of the testl-
mony was that the plaintiff received
no pay, for the farm, but made an
agreement that he could reside on the
farm. Expert medical testimony was
introduced by the attorneys for the de-
Tense to prove that the plaintiff was OF
sound mind, though the attorneys for
the plaintiff claimed that Newberg
was not capable of transacting bust
ness The court found that the trans
fer was legal and that the farm be-
longs to the defendant.

WORK FOR THE STATE FAIR.

To demonstrate to the world that the great fire
that swept San Francisco in 10 way impaired the
resources Of California the State Board of Agrcul-
ture Is planning to make the annual State Fair at
Sacramento IN September one Of the greatest and
most representative Of the development and re-
sources OF the State ever held. The purpose is a
good one, and there should be no difficulty ex9eri-
enced IN acting upon ii. The disaster that came
upon San Francisco and Santa Rosa and touched
San Jose and Oakland left the fields Just as rich il
agricultural products and the orchards and vine
yards IN fruits as though no calamity had been.
The grain lands Of the Sacramento Valley and Of the
San Joaquin, the rich garden lands Of the re-
claimed sections Of both, the prune orchards of
Santa Clara the vineyards of Fresno and the
groves that extend from the southern boundary of
the State almost to Shasta were unaffected bv the
visitation that upon small part of the State
The same IS true of cattle range, stock farm and
mine. Indeed, II the majority Of the States indus
tries an exceptionally prosperous year will be had
making it easy to present to the world an excep
GOnal State Fair.
In TINS the various counties of the State should
be quick to give cooperation and assistance. The
burning Of the business and much Of the residence
portion OF San Francisco is very properly looked
The San Francisco call., 1906-06-11

upon as State disaster To meet conditions grow
ing out of it the State gave the service of It's militia
and the Legislature was convened in special session.
Indeed it would be impossible for the metropolis OF
State to sustain loss of over $300000,000 without
the loss being regarded as much that OF the State
as of the city 1t is in the power OF the counties OF
the State to show that, although California has sui
fcred from the most disastrous fire of modern times,
the State is just rich in resources and will ENJOY
harvest as abundant as though no great calamity
had come upon it.
counties of the State which of late years have taken
but little interest State fairs will be represented to
the limit Of their resources this year. Such word
is encouraging California will do much to offset
the false Impressions that current throughout
the East by first providing State Fair on the mag
ncent scale that is easily within her resources and
inviting the world to view it.
