THE FRANC JONES CASE.

The Franc Jones case in Charlotte,
most remarkable in The criminal an
nails of this state. We cannot believe
that the man is as black as he has
been painted. While his crime was a
fearful one there must be some ex-
tenuating circumstances. We cannot
help believe that he las been made a
dupe and a cats paw of by some more
dishonest men. In the developments of
this case we look for facts to be
brought out which show that he, while
SHINING, has been greatly sinned
against. We cannot believe that he
went into this peculation and ecbezzle-
ment scheme deliberately and syste-
matically for the purpose OF rObbing
the bank which employed him and OF
~defrauding it's patrons, We hope in
his trial the whole chain of transact
lions will be laid bare.
One cannot read the accounts in the
Charlotte papers of his return to that
city and his voluntary surrender, with
the attending circumstances leading
up to that event without feelings Of
the greatest admiration and sympathy
for his heroic and grIef-stricken wife.
She has acted a noble part by her hus-
band, and, as is Usual in such cases !
she showed more judgment and dis I
played greater common sense that the
man. ,
While the friends of Mr.. Jones both
in this city and in Charlotte sympa-
thize with him in his fall and hope
that he may be able to show that he
is not the criminal that first appear
ances indicated, their sympathy for
the grief-stricken wife is ten-lold great
er. Their hearts go out to her in this
hour of her grief and humiliation, and
dL Tie SdIue Title Iuey are ulI6Q with |
pride at her fortitude and heroism.
If Mr.. Jones is ever able to get a
grip on himself and start life anew
With bright prospects ahead or him
will owe it to his noble, self-sacri- I
icing woman If Mr.. Jones is a man +
worthy of her love and loyalty there
S no reason why he should not live t
this dark period in his life. Be- /
,ause a man has fallen once there is n
10 reason why he should not recover d
nd live an honorable and useful life. t
low many mortals there are whom n
good God forgives as great sins 7
very day Of their life. Why then b
hould man condemn, rot knowing the il
rails and temptations? g

About Senator Malarkey'S
Measure

Ed. Journak Brief statement
have appeared in the daily newspa
pers concerning senate bill No. 101
introduced by Senator Malarkey, oI
Portland. As a property owner and
one interested in municipal improve
ments, I would like to ask for furth-
er information on the subject. The
bill Is brief. innocent looking on rs
face. and is as follows:
mo municipal corporation shall
adopt plans or specifications for the
paving or Improvement OF any street
or highway or for any public inn
provement required by law TO be
made by contract let after competi-
tive bidding when such plans or
specifications require the exclusive
use of any patented article or pro-
cess or any article or process protect
ed by any trade mark or any article
or process wholly controlled by any
person. Arm or corporation or COM
bInatlon thereof"
When II v remembered that Mr..
Malarkey Is the attorney and re-
puted stockholder IN the Barber
Asphalt Company. would Il not be
well to ask II the bill does not con-
tain a joker?
Many people believe that the sole
purpose Of the bill Is to prevent the
on public Improvements in
his state by the Warren Construction |
who lay pavement by using |
1lthulithic. a copyrighted name
Anyway. what objection Is there To
he use by a municipality OF a pat
'nted article? The best OF all lnven-
Ions have been patented. No combl-
lation OF materials. no worthy imple-
nents or appliances have ever been
discovered without n patent being
ranted. No person ever wrote
ook worth reading without getting
copyrighted. Granted that these
hings are true. then why enact
iw prohibiting the use by towns or
tiles OF material for street paving
caring a copyrighted trade name?
The writer would suggest that
lembors OF the legislature carefully
INQUIRE into the merits OF this pro-
osed bin before permitting Il to be.
ome law.
With all due respect to the talent

MAN IS SWEPT
TIL TROUGH
SEWER
Rope Breaks and Workman
Has Quick Journey
Underground.

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-John Hoff-
man, 30 years old, an employee in the
Bureau of Sewers. was dropped into a
five-foot sewer in Third avenue, near
12Sth street, owing to the breaking of
a rope. He was hen shot through the
sewer to it's terminus at Harlem River
and 131st street. That he came out
alive is considered remarkable.
With several other employees, Hoff-
mar was at work repairing the main
sewer. They had almost finished their
labors when a heavy rainstorm began.
Hoffman was down in the hole about
four feet above the swiftly flowing
water. Around his waist was a rope,
which was held by the men in the
street above. AS the water poured into
the various sewers leading into the
main pipe the water rose higher and
the rope broke and Hoffman fell into
the water.
His fellow-workmen instantly dashed
up the avenue to 131st street, where
the sewer runs INTO the Harlem River.
Just as they reached the spot Hoffman
shot out into the river. He landed
near a boathouse float, swan to it and
held on until a policeman and work.
men rescued him.. After being given
dry clothes, he went home. He told
the policeman that he vent through
the sewer so fast he didn't have time
to look at the scenery.

ACCUSED
IS OF NOBLE
FAMILY
G. Lawrence, of
Distinguished Appearance,
Arrested for Theft.

With the air and bearing OF one born to
the purple Edward c.. Lawrence faced Act
ing Judge Yuill in the First Criminal Court
today on a charge Of grand larceny. He is
wanted for the alleged theft of SAL from
r. S. Gorham, a New York publisher, by
whom he was employed as a bookkeeper.
Lawrence said nothing and appeared to be
only slightly interested in his n~rraignment.
He was held in $500 to await extradition by
the New York police.
Lawrence refuses to say anything about
himself, yet the police say that he is from
an English family of title and his distin-
guished appearance seemed TO hear out
the story. Other charges of embezzlement
may be brought against Lawrence when
he gets to New York, among them being
that of robbing the Booksellers League, of
which he was treasurer.
Under the name of Edwin Arnold, Law
renee had been employed as n night clerk
for the past two weeks at the College
Court Hotel, in Court Street. this city. He
was there last night when Detective Ser
geants Fohs and Templeton called at the
place to arrest him. Mr.. Gorham, the pub
Usher, who was with the detectives last
night, pointed out Lawrence.
The publisher said that Lawrence's
method was to retain money when given
the firms deposit to place in the hank.
If, for instance, Gorham gave him 5000 to
put in the bank, on the way there he
would alter the slip and take. perhaps,
from $40 to 800 of the amount, his accuser
claims. His alleged irregularities had been
going on since December, says his former
employer.
Lawrence said he was born In Shanghai,
China.
