MILITIA READY FOR CALL
Prepared to Take a Hand in
Strike at Lorain, o.

Lorain, O., April 6.-There are ON
tnous preparations for trouble in the
shipyards strike. Company B, Fifth
infantry, Ohio national guard, is as
sembled in the armory and the COM
pany Is being put through a drill by
Captain Cove with rifles. The com
pany has been notified to be in readi-
ness to 90 out at moments notice
There have been no further disor-
ders on the part of the strikers. They
are In sullen mood, however, and
the authorities fear that trouble will
occur when about 200 strikebreakers
arrive, The latter are expected to
come in body on a special train dur
ing the day.

them that he would tolerate no more
violence and that necessary force
would be used henceforth to quell any
rioting.
Soldiers in uniform are at the rail
way stations to assist the special
deputies in case of trouble
Superintendent La Marche Of the
American Shipbuilding company stated
during the afternoon that he had en-.
gagged 1000 men to take the places OF
the strikers and that the company
would under no circumstances treat
! with their former employees. He added
that all of the new men would arrive
In Lorain by Sunday.

An Old Time Playful Prisoner,

Over century ago there occurred in
London what the Annual Register call
ed "a most unparalleled atrocity." It
was only the theft Of pocket hand
kerchief from a pocket, but the clrcum-
stances Of the deed explain the vehe-
mence Of this denunciaton. Four men
were on their trial for assaulting man
in his house at Ponder's End, putting
him in fear and stealing from him. and
one of them relieved the tedium Of the
trial, which lasted eight hours, by pick
Ing the pocket Of one Of the turnkeys
as he stood in the dock. An official had
the presence Of mind to order the res
toration of the handkerchief, and the
prisoner had enough presence of mind
to obey with the most careless indif-
ference" but the court, we read, "were
horror struck" Justice, however pull
ed itself together sufficiently to SEN
tence all four men to death.

ITO the Bitter End"

One Of the most interesting phases Of
the study Of language Is the peculiar
manner in which words and phrases
originating in mistakes finally grow
Into the common speech Of the people.
An instance Of this Is the expression
ito the bitter end" which is common
~ used to denote the final extremity
Of a crisis Although perfectly proper
today, it Is in reality a mistake. The
correct phrase is "to the better end
and arose from the fact that when a
vessel has paid out all her cable in a
storm it has run out to the end which
has been little used and therefore to
the better end. Daniel Defoe uses the
proper phrase in Robinson Crusoe" in
his description Of the storm at Var
mouth when he says, "We rode with
two anchors ahead and the cables veer-
ed out to the better end"
A Nice Legal Distinction.
A lawyer in the Indian Territory
named Mccain was the attorney for a
farmer who had killed a neighbor.
Mccain got the man out on bail on the
plea Of justifable homicide or some
thing Of the kind, and the farmer i'm
mediately took his gun and killed the
chief witness against him.
Naturally this nettled the sheriff and
the Judges, and they offered $500 re-
ward for the murderous farmer Say"
said Mccain to the sheriff, Twill you
give me that reward if I get him?"
"Yes," the sheriff replied, and Mccain
rode out to- the hiding place of his
client.
The farmer came up, and Mccain
shot him, took the body back to town
Ind demanded the reward. How
about this, McGann?' asked another
lawyer. 'Do you think it Is in accord
ance with the ethics Of the legal pro-
fession to take advantage Of your eli
ent in that manner?" Ethics be blow
3D." snorted Mccain. II killed him In
another case."-EXchange

lnIs triumph by nm over the prosecn
ton may end with the report and he
may yet have to spend many wear
weeks Of Imprisonment before his fate
is decided.
This contingency, il it should occur,
will be because of District Attorney
Jerome's uncompromising attitude, for
he has determined to appeal from
Justice Fitzgerald's ruling that he
cannot inspect the minutes of the
commission. The appeal will be in
the nature Of an action to obtain a
review of the Justices decision 1t
will be taken in the appellate division
Of the supreme court and by it the
district attorney will seek either a
writ of prohibition Or writ Of man
damus. Such an application will act
as stay of proceedings and, if grant
ed, it will halt the trial, which had
reached its last phase, for perhaps
weeks or even months
Mr.. Jerome Is proceeding on the
ground that he cannot, without hav-
ing examined the minutes, make an
intelligent argument against the adop-
ton of the commissions report JUS
tice Fitzgerald has not yet confirmed
the report, but doubtless he will do SO
next Monday morning. The jury
meantime is excused until that day.
What the effect of possibility of a
long drawn out break in the case will
be upon Thaw remains to be SEEN
He was decidedly elated when he
learned of the commissions report
about him and SO was his wife and all
the rest Of his family. AS for his law
yers they are confident that the dis
trict attorney stands little chance of
gaining his point and interrupting the
trial much longer.
