CHAPTER TX.

THE SHOCKING OF HUNNICOTT.
1t was two weeks after the date of
the governors fishing trip, and by
consequence Judge MacFarlane's court
had been the even fortnight in session
in CASTOR, when Kent's attention was
recalled to the forgotten Varnum case
by another letter from the local at
torney, Hunnicott.
"Varnum VS.. Western Pacific comes
up Friday of this week, and they are
going to press for trial this time, and
no mistake" wrote the local repre-
sentative. Hawk has been chasing
around getting afldavits; for what
purpose l don't know, though Lesher
tells me that one of them was sworn
by Houligan, the sub-contractor who
tried to fight the engineers estimates
on the Jump creek work.
Also, there is a story going the
rounds that the suit is to be made q
blind for bigger game, though l guess
this is all gossip, based on the fact
that Mr.. Semple Falk!and's prj-
waite car stopped over here two
weeks ago, from three o'clock
in the afternoon till midnight
of the same day. Jason, of the Clarion,
interviewed the New Yorker, and
Falkland told him he had stopped over
to look up the securities on a mort
gage held by one of his New York
clients"
When Kent had dictated a letter in
answer to Hunnicott's, he dismissed
the Varnum matter from his mind,
having other and more important
things to think of. So, on the Friday,
when the case was reached on Judge
MacFarlane's docket-but really, it is
worth our while to be present in the
CASTOR courtroom to see and hear
what befalls.
When the Varnum case was called
Hunnicott promptly moved for third
continuance. in accordance with his
instructions. The judge heard his
argument, the old and well-worn one
of the absence of important witnesses
with perfect patience; and after list,
ening to Hawks protest, which was
hardly more than mechanical, hs
granted the continuance.
Then came the after-piece. Cour

TRANSFER TROUBLES.

Trouble over transfers Is the foremost cur"
rent feature Of the local transportation bust
ness. Daily some more or less acrimonious con-
troversy is reported, sometimes eliminating in
force Of arms and consequent appearance in
court Generally it arises over a rule recently
promulgated by the street railway company, and
announced on placards displayed in the car
windows, to the effect that transfer tickets will
be given only If asked for at the moment Of pay
ing fare The Ostensible object of the rule is
to prevent INSCRIPTIONS passengers from getting
more than a single transfer for one fare, and
that object we may approve; but its practical
effect often is to deprive passengers Of the
right to get any transfer at ALL and there are
those who suspect that If that result was not
expected and intended it is at least regarded
with equanimity by the company
There are many persons who, with a reason
able and commendable aversion to the liter
allure Of streetcar advertisements, do not read
the pIacards announcing the rule There are
many who, because Of the multitude Of strap
hangers are physically unable to do so. There
are some whose sight is too poor to read them,
some who cannot read English and some who
perhaps not without reasOn-deIberately disre-
gard the signs on the ground that the company
has no right to make such a rule. These last
perhaps invite controversy, but the others do
not but rather have il thrust upon them.
MOIeOfeIg II uldy OlUSu udppeIl LudL Il pdSSeuS6E
will change his mind as to his destination In
the course Of his ride, and while at first, and
when he pays his fare, he may intend to COM
plete his journey the same car, q few
blocks further on he may change his plan and
wish to be transferred to an intersecting line.
There have also been some cases in which con-
ductors have failed to hear or to respond to
requests for transfers when these were made
at the time of fare paying, and when they were
repeated a moment later have replied that they
were too late; as likewise some IN which con
ductOrs have tried to collect second fares or
passengers have tried to avoid paying any fares
What is obvious is that the company is en-
titled to one fare from each passenger and each
passenger who wants it is entitled to trans
fer slip. The rules under which fares are
collected and transfers issued should be so de-
vised as to facilitate and insure both those
things. The company would rightly object to a
rule which required the collection Of a fare at a
given moment or not at all. Similarly, the pas
sengers would seem to have a right to object to
such a rule concerning transfers as that which
now exists. In some way the transfer system
should be freed from its present uncertainties
and iniquities and from its frequent and IN
seernIy Wrangles.

TEACHING RESPECT FOR LAW.

OF the operation Of law In a community
where race rioting thrives Springfield, Ohio, has
Just given a luminous illustration That city, a
border town in the Rdmixture Of blacks among
its residents, is In the habit of furnishing the
newspapers Of the land with few columns al
most annually regarding the riotous attacks Of
its whites upon its negroes. The last occurrence
Of this character has Just come to significant
end In police court
It will be remembered that a month ago the
whites attacked the Jungle" with fire and
drove Its inhabitants from their homes. Militia
men were called out and held the mob IN
check" Then the strong arm Of civil authority
got busy and arrested eight boys. Whether or
not they were the mob held in check" does not
appear, but the evidence against them must
have been extremely damning A jury made up
of leading business men and manufacturers"
found the rioters guilty and recommended that
they receive extreme clemency. One dollar fine
the Jury thought about adequate to the magnt-
tude Of the crime. The judge was exceeding
wroth at this recommendation to mercy and
denounced It as an Outrage; but what was
there for him to do IN the face Of public opin-
ion represented by the leading business men
and manufacturers Obviously, nothing but
fine the culprits the merciful dollar. His indig-
nation carried him a step further. He RENTED
the fines Many Springfield citizens are re-
ported also to be Indignant Perhaps they will
Guido the judge and give the youths the free
dom Of the city. De minimis non curat lex

hopelessly riddled. Mr.. Hardwick, Of Georgia
who led this flbustering attack, seems to have
acted on the principle TINT fame as reformer
Is to be gained by insisting blindly on the ap-
plication Of a given rule, whatever the conse-
Quences Of such insistence may be. II in read
tustment OF salaries three were to be lowered
and one raised, with a net saving to the gov
eminent, the Georgia watch dog ignored the
three reductions deductions being allowable I'M

the single nominal increase. This was OUt-Hol-
naming Holman, and the committee and the
House soon wearied OF the farce Of trying to
do business subject to the veto Of single men,

special rule was therefore brought in and
passed relieving the committees measure from
the attacks Of the bushwhackers. 1t is to the
credit Of the House that it so quickly corrected
an abuse Of its own rules by suppressng the
point OF order nuisance.

much more rapidly than is the female popula-
ton. The methods OF investigation OF such
states as make any investigation at all are so
diverse that little Trustworthy information can
be secured as to the conditions Of employment
or the improvement or deterioration OF the
workers AS the President suggested in his
message the character Of our future citizenship
is dependent IN a special degree on the health Of
the women and children wage earners, and any
thing which makes for their improvement is OF
national concern. Possibly, with the pressure
for economy In Congress, the sum asked for In

Excellent results have been secured where the
support was afforded by masts not more than
seventy-f1ve feet high It has been suggested,
however, that efficiency would be promoted by
increasing the elevation considerably. II that
opinion is well founded, kite might prove ex-
ceptonally useful on shipboard, provided that
the progress Of The vessel were not so rapid that
the direction in which the line from it extended
was too nearly horizontal.
The relation existing between the length Of
the vertical wire and the frequency OF the
waves emitted from It has been fully deter
mined. Concerning the influence Of height on
the distance which can be traversed there may
he more to be learned. Marconi's towers at
Glaze Bay and Poldhu are a little more than
200 feet high, but he has expressed the hope
that some day he can dispense with the up
right wire altogether. The time for doing so
has apparently not arrived, however. tower
