q. A. R. Veteran Asks for
Help in Bringing Up
His Boy.

CHICAGO, March 21-George W.
Hamilton, who lives out near the lit
tie Doremus chapel and wears the
button OF the disappearing Grand Army
Of the Republic. has a son named Ray
mond.
Hamilton, ST., appeared before the
school management committee Of the
board of education yesterday and asked
that the principal OF the Mark Sheridan
school be given permission to spank
Raymond whenever the lad seemed to
require a gentle reminder that he was
not properly deporting himself.
Superintendent Cooley presented Pri-
vate Hamilton TO the committee. but be-
fore the formal presentation was made
Miss Jane Adams. chairman OF the
committee, was handed a letter Of great
length. in which the veteran OF the war
set forth his grievances and his de-
mands, II was whispered about the
committee room that the only thing that
had kept Private Hamilton from ap-
plying the rawhide TO his son Ray
mond. was that his wife was also a be-
lever in the soft word cure, and would
not allow him TO lift a hand to harm
the lad"
Il don't see how we can give any such
authority to the principal" said Miss
Adams, looking uncomfortable
The committee then voted not to spank
Raymond.
The 'ad not only had absented himself
but had premeditatedly and with malice
aforethought placed an upturned tack
on his fathers chair and induced tho
veteran to sit down.

RHODES AMERICANS"
TO RETURN IN JUNE

LONDON, March H.-Forty American
Rhodes scholars will complete their
courses at oxford in June and return 10
the United States. Oxonians are wor-
dering how the average American citi-
zen will regard these products of an
English university, for the majority of
the students have acquired the oxford
manner and accent to a greater or
less degree, and several of them have
been informed by British felIOw-students
that they could not be distinguished
from Englishmen.'
The Rhodes Americans" as these
students are known, have been great
curiosities at Oxford and even in Lon
don. The other day the American circle
OF the Lyceum Club gave a dinner in
their honor. II is doubtful whether the
relatives Of the students will regard a
finishing course at oxford as being Of
unmixed benefit 10 a modern American
Tor the result in several cases has been
desire TO settle in England.
Two of the students have secured posi-
uons in London, one with a big pub
fishing house, and both declare that
they will never live in the United States
again while life in England is as at
tractive as they find It at present.

WORKS TELEPHONE
WITHOUT WIRES
Schenectady Inventor Says
That He Has Solved the
Problem.

SCHENECTADY, II. Y, March n
Walter Whitten. an electrical engineer
Of this city. formerly employed by the
General Electric Company. but now
conducting an experimental station Of
his own, announces that ne has per
fected system OF wireless telephoning.
THE device" he says, ''is simple in the
extreme, can be adjusted to any ordi-
nary telephone. and unlike the wireless
telegraph, which must be operated 1ut
of doors, can be used within the thick
walls of the building as well as In the
open"
The telephone is worked something
on the principle of the wireless tele-
graph, only that the sound waves are
transmitted by means OF what is term
ed an invisible light wave" The
sounds which are carried by this wave
are registered on this device that Mr..
Whitten attaches to the telephone. So
far the inventor has made greater
headway in receiving sounds than in
transmitting sounds. His apparatus fit
ted up I'm his workshop is constantly
registering waves that are being re
ceived in this city by the local wire
less telegraph station operated by J.
T. II. DemDster.
Experimental stations will soon be
established between this city and Al
baay, and the young inventor hopes
then 20 prove to the world that he has
completely solved the problem Of wire
less telephony.

sity. 1t was argued also that as to-
bacco was a necessity for one member
of the family it came within the legal
definition and that food given to a

did so, because the COW furnished milk
and butter for the house table and
chickens supplied eggs and finally eX-

 United States Attorney -=nder will handle the prosecution and is al ready preparing to prove that Swan son made rum without having ob- tained permission of the government by paying yearly license of $500.
 Swanson conducted a small dance hall near Ft. Thomas. One of the features of these social affairs was the number of drunken men. Ft. Thomas saloonkeepers were not sell ing the booze, and they became sus- picious because the revenue was not going into their coffers.
 The attention of Deputy United States Marshal Hubbard was called to the peculiar condition of affairs prevailing at Swanson's dances. Like the Ft. Thomas saloonkeepers ae could not find that Swanson bought any liquor, but that every one of his dances was marked by an unusual

 Deputy Hubbard looked further and on the bank of the Gila river found a hidden still, where Swanson Is cnaIE ed with having made rum, which he sold to those who attended his dances. His still was a small affair, being con tained in a coal oil can. The worm was cudely made.
 United States Attorney Alexander was informed, and had a warrant for Swanson's arrest prepared before Commissioner c. w. Johnstone and Swanson's arrest followed.
 Swanson had been maxim his rum from sorghum skimmings. His claim is that the article he sold was mo iasses," but when asked to explain how molasses could make men -o drung he had nothing further to say.

4 LEGAL TANGLE C0NFRONTS
 ARIZONA
7 }chniCaI Point Raised on Re- movaI of PrisonerS-Can Prisoners Sentenced 'At Yuma" Go to Florence?

If a maHs is sentenced to serve term in prison at Yuma, can the leg islature of Arizona enact a law which will force him to serve that term elsewhere? If the legislature has such power has it availed itself of it in the removal bill just passed? An army of attorneys are ready to answer these questions negatively, and upon the answer of the supreme court de bends the final issue, says the Yuma Examiner. -s- .-~
 It Is by no means certain that the penitentiary can be removed from Yuma under the law enacted by the legislature. Every convict on the hill was sentenced to serve his time in the penitentiary at Yuma, and not at Florence. If the territory attempts to take them elsewhere the lawyers of any prisoner may ask for his re lease from Florence on a habeas cor pus, and unless the legislature has cleverly and securely anticipated this point and provided for the removal of the prisoners in manner that a6- mits of no doubt, the lawyers are lia- ble to make their point stick and thus defer the removal of the institution indefinitely.
 That this point will become the subject of an interesting controversy at an early date is certain, and whether the territory can successfully contest the issue is one on which law yeds do not agree. An effort to re- move the penitentiary in South Dakota in 1878 in order that the institution might have farming facilities, failed for this reason. The men hGu ~een sentenced to serve at Sioux Falls and the supreme court held that they could not be made to serve at any other place. A test case of this sort probably will be filed at the instiga- ton of the territory at an early date, and if the supreme court decides that the law as passed by the legislature is not adequate the removal will have to go over another two years.

MAKES AN ATTACK LIN
 RIO VERDE
Evangilist Bulgin at Phoenix
 Denounces Scheme Which : He Says Is Graft to Take the
 Money of the Poor. .

PHOENIX, April 3.-Departing somewhat from his text, but calling upon God as his witness, Rev. Bulgin, who brought the most successful re vival ever held in Phoenix to close last night at the Central Methodist church, openly attacked the Rio Verde
 Water & Power company.
 Rev. Bulgin announced that before leaving Los Angeles he had been re quested by friends in the Rio Verde company. to make a thorough inyes- tigation of the company's affairs, and advise them whether or not to make the investment
 With uplifted hand, Rev. Bulgin de clared before God that the Rio Verde company is perpetrating a fraud un- der the guise of religion and that trusting people are being taken ad- vantage of by the promoters. Speaking further. Rev. Bulgin ad- vised his hearers to beware of all schemes promoted under the guise of
 religion, calling attention to Christ's command that people should not use. religion to secure the things of this l world.
 Coming from Bulgin on the last night of his revival here, the attack on the Rio Verde company was a dis tinct surprise, and today many who | claim to be familiar with the affairs
 Of this company have discussed Rev. | Bulgin's broad statement with tuusio. | erable freedom. As he stated, Rev Bulgin has. in
 vestigated the Rio Verde proposition. and will advise those for whom he | is acting not to invest their money. l An effort was made this afternoon l to see w. H. Stewart, who looks after | the local interests of the Rio Verde | company. but he was out of the city. Captain P P Parker, corporate agent in Arizona for the company, was seen
 at the offices of the company - the
 Fleming block and had the following to say:
 q know that four different appoint
 ments were made between Mir. Stew.
 art and Rev Bulgin, and though Stew
 art was there every time, Rev. Bulgin
 did not keep one of them.
 "A fifth appointment was made for
 the purpose of discussing the affairs
 of the Rio Verde company at Stew
 arts house, and Rev. Bulgin called there He remained about three min
 utes, when an automobile came and ] took him away.
 II This is all the chance Rev. Bulgir gave us to state our side of the case
 H. c. Yeager begged him to talk witt Stewart before making any public statements and to await until he knee the facts before passing judgment | Rev Bulgin has heard but one sid, of the case, and has listened to storie. that were started by people who hay, sought to get control of the enter prise.
 Just as sure as the world rolls round, the Rio Verde company will carry out its promises We have es tabnshed our legal rights, have deter mined that the water is there and have shown the demand for power. The plans of the company will bt carried out ard it will mean an ex penditure of scoop .000 in this valley l! All we ask Is that the proposition bs

DID LEGISLATURE
 MAKE \ BAD BLUNDER?
Section Providing for Collection
 of License From !tinerant| Peddlers Was Wiped Off the
 Statute Books,

There is more than suspicion that the legislature did an astonishing thing that it didn't intend to do-abol- ished the peddler's license law. which it thought it was making so rigid as to prohibit peddling entirely. The new liquor license law repeals paragraphs 2S57, ,2S5S. .2S59 and 2S60 of the civil code. The first three of those para graphs have to do only with the re- tail selling of liquor, Paragraph 2s60, the only one in the code relating to peddling, Is as follows:
 Every travelling merchant, hawker or peddler who shall carry pack ana yend wares, goods or merchandise or any kind. shall pay a license tax of seyenty-five dollars a quarter and every travelling merchant, hawker or peddler who shall drive or use a wagon or cause to be driven wagon for the purpose of vending wines or spurious liquors. goods or merchan- disc shall pay license of s1o0 a quar- ter. The license shall be collected in every county where it is taken out: Provided, That nothing in this Act shall be construed to apply to the sale of farm products"
 On the face of things it now appears that any man may engage in the busi' ness of peddling without the payment of any license at all if he keeps Vu,' side of the limits of incorporated towns and inside of them he will have to pay only city license.
