Habeas Corpus Action Fails In EN-.
bezzIement Case.
Judge Garland Of the United States
court at Sioux Falls to-day denied ap-
plication for writ of habets corpus
in the case Of Earl B. Pinney, form
erly a prominent resident of North
Dakota, who sought to secure his re-
lease from the Sioux Falls penitenti-
ary. Pinney was formerly a United
States commissioner with headquar-
ters at Minot, N. D. He Is serving a
term Of ten years in the penitentiary
in this city for embezzlement COM
mited while he was forest commits
sioner The embezzlement consisted
of converting to his own use sums
aggregating something over $4,000
which had been placed in his hands
by homesteaders for payment to the
receiver of the United States land
office at Minot.
The point is raised in behalf Of Pin
ney that the sums mentioned were
placed in his hands as an individual
and not in his official capacity as
United States commissioner, and that
therefore, he was not liable to the
federal government for the disposi-
tion made of the money. In the ap-
plication for writ Of habeas corpus
it was set forth that the indictment
upon which Pinney was convicted
was illegal and void and did not con-
tain facts sufficient to constitute a
crime under any of the laws of the
United States.
In support Of this denial of Pinney's
application Judge Garland stated in
substance that United States commits
sioners have no authority under any
law to receive such moneys, but
that nevertheless. there is a federal
statute which in his opinion makes
them liable for such moneys as they
receive under color of their Offices or
where it is pretended they have q
right to handle them.

EASY TO DISCOVER BAD RAIL.
MetaIlurgist May Now Find Defects
by Aid Of Microscope.

MSSdiIOT8ISt way NOW Ft0O OSteCI8
by Aid Of Microscope.
In his article on the anatomy Of a
steel rail in Harper's Magazine H. c.
Boynton tells of the way in which de-
fects in steel rails are discovered by
the use of the microscope.
How then," says the layman, "can
you tell ii that was good or bad
rail?" Then comes the microscope,
that simple instrument which has re-
vealed so many wonders. 1t now per-
mits the n>etallurgist to study the
anatomy of 30 apparently lifeless a
thing as a piece of STEEL
With vertical illuminator or kind
Of reflector which takes the light rays
from any source and bends them
through right angle, and then per
mits the observer to look through it
down on to the polished surface OF
metal-equipped with such a reflector
attached to an ordinary microscope
and with number Of different lenses
called Objectives and eyepieces, the
metallurgist can look at his piece OF
rail under linear magnification of
forty to thousand diameters This
means that If spot measuring one
hundredth of an inch across be mag
nified 100 diameters, the original spot
would appear to the eye of the observ-
err one inch in diameter.
Can you conceive OF anything in
that rail that could escape the trained
eye when under magnification Of
1000 diameters? It would have to be
more elusive than the tiny germs
which medical men look for as the
cause OF most of our contagious dis
eases. than the 100000 bacteria in a
cubic centimeter of the ordinary milk
we drink.

Miidew In Canvas.

1. To prevent the occurrence Of
mildew in canvas use the following
method: Dissolve one pound of zinc
sulphate in forty gallons OF water and
then add one pound Of sal soda. When
this is dissolved add two ounces of
tartaric acid. The canvas should be
soaked in this solution for twenty
four hours, and then dried without
wringing. This should effectually pre-
vent the occurrence OF mildew. 2.
To remove mildew from canvas, wash
we'll with q solution Of calcium hypo-
chlorite (bleaching powder) In cold
water or vinegar. Use plenty Of cold
vater afterwards.

IS TERRIBLY HANGLED
Arthur Tattersol Caught by Belt and
Is Carried Around Shaft
May Die.

Arthur Tattersol, employed in the
sugar factory at American Fork, is at
the Latter-day Saints hospital suffer-
ing from terrible injuries which he re-
ceived while at work yesterday, and
from which it is feared he may not re-
cover.
Tattersol, who is 20 years old and un-
married, and who lives at American
Fork, was engaged near the washer in
the factory when a belt slipped from
the pulley. TattersOl caught the belt
and, while endeavOring to replace it on
the pulley, the belt coiIed around his
hand and in an instant he was whirled
TO the shaft. The arm was carried
around the shaft by the belt, and the
flesh was stripped from the bone from
the wrist TO the shoulder.
Tattersols body was whipped around
the shaft and a number of times be-
fore the machinery could be stopped
and he was unconscious when he was
taken down. Medical attention was
given him and he was brought to the
city and taken to the Latter-day Saints
hospital. He was suffering from pro-
found shock and did not regain con-
seriousness until after I o'clock this
morning. No operation could be per-
formed until he had rallied further, and
it is not yet known whether he will re-
cover.

Individuals differ in their ability to

largely derived from food. And that
food is best which supplies all the re-
