which they were anxious to have
passed under the unanimous consent
agreements. and which they could
get through in no other way, could
be passed.
In qulry OF Senator Beyerldge and
Representative Hamilton, the lead
ing eonferees for the two houses.
brought out the positive statement
from each that Mr.. Williams blGif
would have no effect on the con
ferees. They pointed out that today.
Just before Williams took the floor
to make HIS threat, the oonferees
had Just concluded an extensive hear
ing In the senate committee room.
and Il is their intention to have an
other nearing. They argue! that u
is most unusual for conference COM
mittees to grant hearings on proyl-
slons OF measures which have been
passed hy both houses. and the fact
that they have done so is indicative
OF the sincere desire to perfect the
legislation.

WITH A HOE
JUDGE LIGHTFOOT WAS WORK
ING IN COURT HOUSE
YARD TODAY.
Means to Beautify the Grounds and
Set the People a Good
Example.

County Judge r. T. Lightfoot Is
the self-appointed county gardner
without salary. He thinks the Office
an important one-in fact as much
so as the chief executive of the coun-
ty-and he stated that he appointed
himself because he knew the job
would be done right. He did not de-
sire to throw any more financial
burdens on the county's shoulders
and therefore, accepted the position
without remuneration.
Judge Lightfoot was this morn
ing out in the county court house
yard working as hard as any paid
laborer with a boss standing over
him might work. He was "the man
with the hoe" for some time and az.
ter he had finished sorting out the
grass and weeds began watering ths
plants and rearranging the flowers.
He intends to take the prize offered
by The Sun for the prettiest yard in
the cty-that is If the county court
house is not barred-and threatens
dire calamity to the city officials If
any COWS are permitted to roam at
large even If for so short a time as
to enter the court house yard.
II have seen the park yard go to
rack and ruin for several years, and
you don't know how I hate It," he
stated. This is one place that can
be made beautiful spot in the heart
of the city, and this should be the
case. The city at one time took IT
over with the view of maintaining
1t as a park, but let it go down after
year or two. Since that time no
one took any pride in 1t. / intend
to show the people what possibilities
there are in gardening and will con-
vert this court house yard into the
prettiest place in the city. / expect
to superintend the entire matter, too.
and know that it will be done right. >"

Magnificent Thirst.

Consul General Guenther, writing
from Frankfort, Germany, makes an
astonishing report on the magnitude
of that nations drink bill. For the
five years, 190o-1s04, the 60,000,o00
Germans spent for liquor the enor-
mons sum of sG72.5SS.O0O. Accord
ing to Statistics each inhabitant ev-
cry IL months consumed 6 1-2 quarts
of wine, 129 1-2 quarts of beer, and
. quarts cf brandy. the per capita
cost was -s11.20, includ;ns women
and children. while the male citizens
over Is years the per capita cost
would be 1876. -

The generosity of Americans-that
spirit which makes the people all
akin andIso marks their patriotism
is manifested just now throughout
the land in the feeling shown ill-fat-
ed San Francisco. 1t needs but a call
which touches the heart of an Ameri-
can, even one by adoption. to prove
his liberality. This is a great coun-
try, but the people are greater than
the country. sGla

San Francisco will arise from her
present general destruction. The peo-
pie who made the late beautiful city
will re-establish another and more
attractive one. The future Golden
Gate City will be a credit to the peo-
pie not only of the metropolis of
California but the country at large.
This is the American spirit so char
acteristic of even those who are of
the land even by adoption.

Discrepancy Is shown.

ut Is asserted that the relator
tPerkins) knew nothing of the book
keeping methods of the company or
OF the entries in respect to this trans.
action. II may be that such an ex-
PLANTATION would be satisfactory to a
jury, but the court may not, as a mat
ter OF law, hold the relator's state
ment OF his ignorance of these facts
as conclusive evidence OF the actual
facts.
II do not desire in the remotesl
degree by what have said to have
1t construed that l am expressing an
opinion of the intent of the relator
tPerkins). my meaning and purpose
being solely TO show that from the
Facts submitted 1t would be peculiar
ly the province OF the jury upon a
consideration of all the facts and cir
cumstances to find the intent and
that upon this application the court
cannot affirmatively find that there is
no evidence of intent"
Perkins lawyers will prepare at
once their appeal from the decision
OF Judge Greenbaum and It will be
presented without delay to the ap-
penate division of the supreme court.
This body may give its decision be-
iore May 1. when the special grand
Jury, which Is to take up the insur-
anee investigation. will be sworn in.

Justice Greenhaum Turns Down
Habeas Corpus Writ.
Question Raised by Campaign Gift
Charges Must BE Settled by
Trial.
APPEAL WILL BE TAKEN

New York, April 21.-Justice
Greenbaum, of the supreme court.
has dismissed the writ OF habeas cor
pus sued out by George w. Perkins,
former vice president of the New
York Life Insurance company, after
his arrest on warrant charging
him with grand larceny in connection
with the $500 contribution of the
company to the republican national
campaign fund of 1904.
In the course of long typewritten
opinion Justice Greenbaum says that
the crime charged against Mr.. Per
kins is grand larceny and that "un-
less the evidence before the magis-
trate justified finding that said
crime was committed and that there
was reasonable ground to believe
that the relator committed 1t the pris-
oner (Perkins) must be discharged.
The court then announced its de-
cision to remand Mr.. Perkins and re-
fused to discharge him on the writ.
The justice said: "If | am correct
in assuming that corporate gift for
political purposes is wrongful. and.
therefore. Illegal. in case where
trustee of corporation like that OF
a life insurance company who know
ingly, consciously and deliberately
appropriates the money OF the cor
poration to the use of a political cam
paign committee there would be pres
ent all the elements referred to to
establish the commission of the crime
OF larceny on reasonable grounds for
believing that the person charged
committed II, unless We may say as a
matter of law that one charged with
the commission OF a crime may es-
cape its consequences by admitting
the facts that prima facie would es-
tablish it and pleading ignorance OF
their legal effect and an absence of
intent to do any wrong.
The Paducah sun., 1906-04-21
Cannot Decide on Intent.

81 apprehend that while a court
might. after hearing all the proofs,
be in a position in a given case 10
hold as matter of law that no legal
evidence OF intent was established.
yet upon the issuance OF warrant
upon the facts set forth in the depo-
sihons the court would not be justi-
fed in holding. as matter OF law. tha,
there was no evidence before the
magistrate to sustain his action.
aside from the point that the in
tent may be inferred from the act.
IL may also be said that from the
special facts appearing in this cast.
criminal intent may be inferred
II Is shown that the moneys were no.
voted nor directed to be paid by The
board of trustees of the life insur-
anee company, but were taken from
the company's treasury by the indiv-
ual acts of the president and the re-
lator CPerkins), personally acquiesc-
ed in by the members of the finance
committee, and that no record nor
minute is anywhere found showing
the purpose for which the payment
was made.
1T Is stated that the indirect meth
cd OF making the political contribu-
tions was to avoid the opportunities
OF other political bodies and that Il
would have been imprudent at the
time to have made this contribution
public"
