india Rubber.

Few articles seem more strangely
named than india rubber. 1t gets the
rubber from the first use to which II
was put-that of erasing pencil marks
by rubbing. Nor should it be asso.
ciated with India. The tree was first
mentioned by an explorer among the
Mexican Indians three centuries ago,
and the first account Of the substance
is in connection with Columbus visit
to Haiti on his second voyage. Most
of our present importation comes from
Brazil. But Columbus and those ex.
plorers who followed him We're search
ing for short passage to India, and
they supposed that the land they dis
covered was India. The name india
rubber is therefore a permanent sign
Of their mistake

TENTH WARD
DEMOCRATS HEAR
ELOQUENT men

A big registration rally was held last
evening in odd Fellows hall. Academy
avenue, Tenth ward.
Representative George f. Troy. tlie
first speaker said one OF his reasons for
going into politics was that he, as
school teacher, thought more could and
should be done for the school children.
and with prospects of a Democratic VIE
tory next fall much more could be ac-
complished in addition 10 that already
done The other reason was that he wish
ed TO support his friend and classmate.
James II. Higgins.
Mr. Troy said Rhode Island was really
n Democratic state. and IL the 1900 men
who last year neglected to qualify would
get their names down defeat for the Re-
publicans would be certain. The fight 80
finely begun last year must be continued
said Mr. Troy and full registration
would mean success next fall "and an end
OF Republican misrule."
John J. Fitzgerald followed Mr. Troy,
and afterward In eloquent style 'Repub-
lican corruption" In part he said:
i've often wondered what would hap
pen II the Third and Tenth wards regis
tered every man. Why. this state would
be as soldly Democratic as the city OF

here. for the majority does not rule. The
Republican party won't give you fair rep.

couldn't stay in power.
Now, II any man wants to get office

SEVERE PENALTY
FOR NON-SUPPORT

The provisions Of n new law passed at
the last session of the general assembly
allowing the sentencing 20 jail OF persons
who fail 10 support their families WAS
availed OF this morning by Judge Lee OF
Whitney to three months in jail after he
had pleaded guilty.
The new law supplements the old stat
ute which gave district courts power TO
sentence TO the state workhouse for a
term not exceeding three years, non-sup-
porters OF families. II has been the expe-
rience OF the court officials and Overseer
OF the Poor Cummings that frequeptly a
man sentenced 10 a term al thes state
workhouse, would be released on payment
OF costs, by order OF the state board Of
charities and corrections. The exercise OF
this power by the board has not always
been pleasing, and through tn eefforts OF
Overseer Cummings and others the new
law giving the district courts option TO
impose a Jail sentence was passed. as the
state board OF charities and corrections
cannot release person from Jail.
Whitney. who this morning was SEN
fenced TO jail under the new law, was two
years ago sent to the state workhouse
for six months by Judge Lee for non-sup-
port OF his family. He told the court he
had been sentenced, but that after he had
been at the workhouse l6 days he had
been released at the instigation OF his wife.
who paid the costs.
Judge Lee remarked that she would not
get him released this time, and then gave
him the Jail sentence.

SECURE RELEASE
ON HEAVY BAIL

San Francisco. Cal, June 15.-For-
NAL motion for the release OF Mayor
Schmitz under bonds will be argued
before Judge Dunno today, an informal
motion to that effect presented by his
counsel yesterday having been de-
MED
The motion for Schmitz's admission
to bail. in contravention OF statue law
will be based on the ground that he is
charged with duties that he cannot
perform IL he remains in the custody
OF the sheriff.
It is understood that the question
OF policy, as well as law. will govern
the attitude OF the prosecution in the
matter OF consenting that the con-
victed mayor be admitted to bail. II
II be decided that public sentiment is
in favor OF permitting the mayor to
go at liberty on bail the district at
torney's office will so recommend. II
on the contrary the prosecution deter
mines that IL will be wiser TO have
Schm,tz confined to the county jail
he will be refused bail by Judge
Dunno.
This later course would necessitate
tho taking of the matter before either
Judge OF the court of appeals or one
OF the justices OF the supreme court.
Pending the decision OF the court
Schmitz is in charge OF the sheriff
and last night he was confined I'm tha
Branch county jail.

The police told the court that Whitney.
who is 81 years old. since his release
from the workhouse two years ago, has
worked but little, has laid around home
drunk. and that his wife and children
have had TO work TO support themselves.
Judge Lee says his practice viii not he
10 impose the jail sentence generally, but
only TO impose IL on the incorrigibles.
Another new law, enacted at the Janu-
ary session OF the legislature Is one that
increases the fine 10 500 and costs for the
offence OF carrying concealed weapon,
and Judge Lee intimates that under that
statute some pretty stiff sentences may be
imposed.
Under the old law the maximum fine
was 500 and costs Under the old law. as
under the new, the court had an option of
imposing n Jail sentence in lieu OF a fine.
Judge Lee says the fine under the old
law was not large enough. and that TO
fittingly punish a man he would give a
small fail sentence wrom which an appeal
would be taken, but that somehow when
the appeal was prosecuted the superior
court the offender would usually get on
with the maximum fine of $40 and costs.
and escape the jail sentence. He says
that now. under the new law, he can Mt
tingly punish people without jail SEN
tence and that even should he impose n
Jail sentence and an appeal be taken the
superior court. II IL decided TO fine IN
stead Of committing to jail, can fine more
heavily than II could under the old law.
