HELD UP BY THE POLICE.
This Is Story Which Like others Has
Two Sides.

A man named S. E. Spencer te1ephon-
ed this office today. and said: ct was
held up and robbed in the police station
this morning. The police just naturally
held me up and took $3.50 away from
me for nothing"
AS a result of this startling informa-
ton, the police were permitted to make
an ante-mortem statement before be-
ing convicted of robbery. This is what
the police department has to say about
it:
"Old man Spencer was arrested April
4 Of this year for disturbing the peace.
His disturbance consisted of beating
his wife, and the Judge fined him SO
and costs, amounting to 1925 in all.
Spencer didn't like the decision. and
took an appeal to the district court
When his case came up there, the ap-
peal was dismissed because he was not
present. and a mandate sent back here
We picked Spencer up and he bald SO
and put up his watch for the rest-s2. 25.
This morning he came in and demand
ed his watch. In the meantime we
learned that we had to collect not only
the fines and cost of this court. but
1925 costs for the district court-inan-
date fees and so forth. So we told him
to get busy and dig up the rest of 1t
or we would toss him in He dug, and
we got it all and gave him his watch"
Spencer has been arrested several
times for beating his wife. but he has
always ESCAPED paying a fine by taking
an appeal. He couldn't understand any
other arrangement.
The moral TO this doA ble-headed story
seems to be that when you can't explain
a mystery you should ask policeman.

CALLS MORGAN A TRUMP
Geo. Gould Says the Financier mas
saved the Country.

Nav york. Nov. 5.-George Gould
returning today on the steamer hroh
Prinzessin Cecilie, from SIX 'mohths
automobile tour of Europe, discussed
freely the European view or the re-
cent financial crisis in this country.
"Our credits are in bad way
abroad" said Mr.. Gould. The peo-
pie of Europe received an awi WI srafs
Of our securities. But their view is all
wrong. Our country is all right, our
resources were never slronseI, our
railroads never buster. INDUSTRY eV-
erywhere is humming. We have sim
pIy got to get together and put our
shoulders to the wheel to restore con-
fidence.
an this connection I want to say
something of Mr.. Morgan. He is
trump and he has saved US from
great disaster"
Asked his opinion as to the causes
of the uneasiness in Europe, Mr..
Gould said:
the sentence imposed upon the STAN
dard OIL company is the largest fac
tor. To the people of Europe the fine
looks like practical conf1scatfon. They
refuse offers to put theif money in our
big concerns with that verdict dan
Cling before them. The fright Judge
Lands gave investors on the other
side was tremendous.
But as l say the conditions in this
country are sound and we are on the
way to restore confidence. The trou-
BILE is that our currency is all out of
joint. 1t will be a feather in Roose-
velt's cap IL he should call an extra
session of congress and secure the
adoption of much needed currency re-
forms. Just what the character of
the new legislation should be am not
ready to say. I have no pet plan of
my own.
THE recent scare Is overcome now.
But the Standard Oil sentence was one
Of those things which always hurt the
innocent people. They have to suffer.

JACKSON SPRINGS SURPRISE.
Introduces Confession of Harvester
Trust in Texas Case.

Just before the conclusion of the
hearing of the International Harvester
company antitrust case Monday after
noon, Attorney General Jackson sprung
surprise on the attorneys for the Har-
vester company by the Introduction of
an unlocked for bit of evidence. The
hearing had been dragging along ali
day and nothing of a sensational nature
had been unearthed when the attorney
general offered the bill of complaint,
the answer of the company and the
final judgment of the court in Texas
in a case in which the International
company confessed that it had violated
the antitrust laws of that state.
In this case the International Har-
vester company confessed judgment
and paid a fine amounting to $34,800
for its violations of the antitrust laws
of Texas, though the period of time
covered in the complaint was but 81
days. In addition to the fine the COM
pany forfeited it's rights to do business
In the state.
The antitrust laws of this state and
Texas are similar and in the suit where
the Harvester company confessed judg
ment the suit was brought for the pur-
pose of co1lectiong $1,100,000 from the
company for its violations of the trust
up for trial the attorneys for the Har>
vester company confessed judgment
and paid fine of 5000 a day for ST
days violation, amounting to SIT, 400,
and like sum for violations under the
amendment passed in 1908.
This evidence was offered by AttOr.

that the allegations of the formation
of the trust and its mode of doing busi-
ness in Texas are similar to those used
by the company in Kansas. The attor-

The fine hit the interests of the peo-
pie. 1 am inclined to believe the peo-
pie of Europe were justified in their
alarm. If one corporation can be
treated as was the Standard Oil, the
same thing might happen to others
and investors areFnot anxious to sac
rifice their money!
Asked II his railroads would continue
their opposition tosthe two-cent laws in

1T is unDrofftablez Ito carry passengers
at so low q rate and in some of the states
we might better put the cars away and
close up the passenger stations"
AS to the telegraph strike, Mr.. Gould
said: THE strike was most ill-advised,

John Costello Not Wanted in Detroit
Shouts for JOY.

John Costello. the young man who
gave himself up to the police last
night claiming that he was wanted in
Detroit, Michigan, for burglary, is
again free Sergeant Jenkins tele-
graphed the chief of police in Detroit
last night, and this afternoon got the
answer:
John Costello not wanted
When Jenkins went to the Jail door
and read the telegram to Costello the
young man jumped up and shouted,
s'Then. I can go back home"
He says he has been hiding out for
nearly six years, under the impression
that officers were chasing him. There
was nothing in the telegram to tell
whether the crime was myth, or the
prosecuting witness could not be
found, but Costello is going back
home to Detroit.

TELL ABOUT THE NEW LINES.
Independent Telephone Company Is
sues Explanatory Letter.

The Independent Telephone company
has Just; finished the distribution of a
"a page supplement to their directory
which contains, $50 names. In sneaking
of the changes which are now in pro-
gress Mr.. Hemphill, secretary of the
Independent Telephone company said:
when it was announced that the
central office had been transferred to
the new building majority of our pat
rons supposed the work of rebuilding
our exchange was finished. This was
really the beginning of the work under
taken. 1t was necessary to nave the
underground system exchange building
and new switchboard completed first IN
order that the work of reconstructihg
the outside lines by placing them In ca
bles might be completed, thus doing
away with all open wires which are the
greatest source of trouble to the proper
working of telephones. The work of ra-
building and enlarging our cable system
over the entire city has been in pro-
gress since the transfer to our new
exchange. Were it possible to shut
down our exchange, as would be the
case in most any other business while
overhauling it, this work would not be
so difficult but to give continuous SER
vice without some confusion resulting
is an impossibility. 1t is often neces
sary to have a I.ne out of order several
times in one week. Gable men laboring
with working wires often touch the
wires of different lines together causing
bells to ring, false signals at the centraI
switchboard, disconnections while talk

noyances. However, we ask our patrons
to be patient and promise that this
con ition will not last long and that
soon you will have an opportunity 70

we are also spending many THOUSAND
