speechless for a second or two, and
stared at two young women with
tousled hair, clad in the uniform of
jackies of the United States navy, who
stood before him charged with disor-
derby conduct. There was nothing
apologize in the aspect of the prison
ers, who boldly stared back at the
magistrate with a jovial CLEAN in their
eyes.
Regarding the two prisoners with an
air so serious as to be droll were two
sun tanned, chunky young men in mis-
fit trousers, coatless and shirtless, for
the young women had the young men S
shore toys on them and the zeal
jackies were worrying over what
might happen to them when they got
back to the cruiser Washington and
made explanations. Their shore lib
erty, they knew, was past, and yet
they had no respectable clothing in
which to report back for duty.
Magistrate Tighe looked over the
)apers in the case and found out
, from Policeman Kelly that the pair,
who had described themselves as
Edna Mcdonald and Kittie White,
each 21 years old, had been arrested
For masquerading in the mems cloth
ing at $3.50 o'clock in the morning
The girls frankly admitted the fault,
and said that they considered the
whole thing as joke. They had in
vaded the jackies' room while they
were asleep and taken the uniforms,
but did not intend that the boys
should long be deprived of them.
Magistrate Tighe suspended SEN
tence on the women and sent the
tackles after their clothing. When
the girls apparel arrived the transfer
was made in rooms in the rear of the
courtroom.

For years the dentist has had every
thing his own way. For the patients
it was a case of theirs not to reason
why, theirs not to make reply, theirs
but to sit and take whatever the for
ceps artist handed them, which in all
cases was plenty. If he wanted to
drill hole in their favorite molar and
explode dynamite charge in it what
could they say? Nothing at all, for he
had their mouths pried open at the
tine and, possibly to add to the fiend-
ishness of the occasion, was telling
them funny story that was supposed
to call for laugh just at the point
where he touched nerve and then
tried to punch it down to get it out of
the way. While no one will approve
of the ungentlemanly act of the Wash
ington man who rose up from a dose
of laughing gas and smote the dentist
hip and thigh, they will at least agree
that the tooth-pulling man had been
counting trouble.

THE ATOMS CASE.

There are two sides to this question
as to whether the Alton should also
be prosecuted for those Standard Oil
rebates. The law, of course, can not
differentiate between law-breakers,
and having evidence that the Alton
had broken the law, it devolved upon
Judge Lands to order legal inves-
tigation of the matter.
The other side of the case is the
claim that the Alton was an unwilling
violator of the law; that it was held
up by the Standard, just as that con-
Germ has held up other railroads; and
that it was through the railroads that
the federal authorities were enabled
to prove their case against the STAN
dard.
1t would appear very unjust if the
victim of a highwayman were punish
ed because he allowed himself to be
robbed. If the Alton were really the
bona f1de victim of the Standard Oil
highwayman, there could be little ar
gument as to the justice involved in
the case.
But suppose the victim of the high
wayman was carrying money belong
ing to. friend, and, when held UP,
had turned that over to the highway
Suppose, further. that he had merely
to call the police in order to catch the
robber, but neglected to do so. Sup
pose, too, that he was acquainted with
the highwayman's practices, but that
he kept still about them in order to
get favors from said highwayman
himself.
The actual facts in the case will
make considerable difference with
what ought to be done to the Alton
and these facts will be brought out in
a Judicial inquiry into the matter.
If the Alton could prove that 1t was
actually held up and robbed of those
rebates by the Standard, it ought to
go scot free. But it is a well-known
fact that the Alton was not robbed OF
Its own money. 1t simply trebled its
published rate and then gave the
Standard the old rate, thereby giving
the Standard a monopoly. 1t could
have reported the facts to the auth
critics, but this it did not do.
No doubt the Alton acted
at the dictation of the Standard and
that concern probably held a club
over its head to compel it to disobey
the law. These are facts that the AL
ton ought to be able to show in it's
trial. and they should certainly be
considered in mitigation or the Of
Tense, but Judge Lands is right in or
dering the facts in the case to be in
vestigated.

INFORMATION WANTED.

Railroad Commissioner Ryan's pro-
posal to compel railroads to give cor
rect information regarding the move
ments of trains to waiting public, is
a needed reform. Some station agents
are polite by nature and gladly give
patrons whatever information they
have. Others assume the celebrated
attitude of Commodore Vanderbilt
and act as though persons who are
waiting for trains have no rights they
are bound to respect.
1t is extremely annoying to wait
from one to five hours for a train and
be unable to secure any information
concerning it. A case in point: once
upon time party of six were bound
from Kansas to California. They had
to lay over at a junction to wait for
the through California train, which,
they were informed. was an hour late.
AS a matter of fact, the train had
been wrecked, and although it was
duo before noon it did not arrive till
after midnight, but the waiting party
was told that it would be unsafe to
leave the station, as the train might
arrive at any moment AS the wreck
had occurred two hundred miles
away and the station was a division
point, there was no excuse for with
holding the truth in the case.
If Mr.. Ryan can compel crusty sta
ton agents to be more considerable of
the rights of the travelling public, he
will receive an immense amount of
gratitude from the sufferers.
