CHARGE OF ARSON
WAS DISMISSED
Walter OIeSon Was PrOSecut-
ed Only for Having OBJ
scene Literature.
EVIDENCE BOTH WAYS.
THERE WAS MUCH AGAINST HIM
AND SOME IN HIS FAVOR
A FINE OF $40 AND COSTS WAS
ASSESSED.

Walter Oleson was fined SO and
carrying obscene literature. The
charge of arson against him was dis
missed at the instigation of Prosecut-
or Jessup. The prosecutor stated
that there is some damaging evidence
against the young man on the latter
charge. but that there is also evidence
of his innocence.
Oleson, it was thought. made an at
tempt to burn the dyeing and clean
ing shop of Murray Hill, Tenth and
Main streets, Saturday afternoon.
Young Oleson came here from Indian
apolis and has always borne an excel
lent reputation. Mr. Jessup learned
that Saturday afternoon when Oleson
went into the gasoline room of the
Hill shop he got match of Hill. Ole
son states that he wanted this match
to light his pipe. He also frankly adj
mitted that he left the shop by the
back door.
Mr. Hill stated to Prosecutor Jessup

weeks ago, the young man had twice
threatened to burn him out, but Hill
then stated at the time the alleged at
tempt to burn the store was made, he
and Oleson were on quite friendly
terms.
There is not the slightest doubt that
an attempt was made to burn the store.
Prosecutor Jessup suspicious a young
man living in this city who is also I'M
der suspicion of recently burglarizing
the home of the Rev Conrad Huber.
There is a well defined reason for fas-
tening a suspicion of arson against
this young man. but it cannot be f|i-
vulged at the present time. Chief Bal
ley is still inclined to the belief that
Oleson is the person who tried TO fire
the shop. He made a thorough in
vestigation of the case and states that
all the evidence he gathered, purely
circumstantial. indicates that Oleson
set fire TO the building to revenge
himself on Hill

IRISH BILL IS FAR
FROM SATISFACTORY
Great Disappointment Ex-
pressed Over the Text of
The New Measure.
PRESENTED TO COMMONS.
DISCUSSION, WHICH WAS LED
BY A. j. eALFoUR ON BEHALF
OF THE OPPOSITION.

| London May S.-Tne government
on Tuesday presented its long await
ed Irish bill to the House of Com
mons and the country. The bill is de-
| signed to meet the demands for Irish
| home rule. 1t was presented by the
| secretary for Ireland, Mr.. Birrell, 10 a
| crowded house.
Compared with the home rule bills
| of 1886 and 1906, the measure confers
| little self-government upon Ireland,
| merely giving to the council control
of the eight departments now manag-
ed by government boards.
Twenty-four members of the coun-
eli are to be appointed by the Crown
and while the lord lieutenant of Ire
land is given power to nullify its
measures the crown retains control of
five of the eight departments, in
Guiding the constabulary. The con-
troll of this branch always has been a
thorn in the flesh of the Irish peo-
pie
1t is natural and quite to be expect
ed that this halfway measure is
wholly pleasing to no political party.
The Unionists regard it as a step to-
ward nome rule. They object to Civ
ing to Ireland the management of
many departments of local affairs
while the Irish members of the House
of Commons retain the right to legis-
late in similar affairs for England and
Scotland. They criticise also the plan
of government by a council through
eight committees as complicated and
cumbersome. The Radicals are dis
appointed that the measure falls so
short of actual home rule, and the
Irish members are even more diSap-
pointed with it,
Diplomatic Attitude.
The Irish leaders. however, are
maintaining a diplomatic attitude I'M
til they have time to study the pro-
visions of the bill and also to
learn the sentiment of the people. A
Nationalist convention will be held
in Dublin soon to decide upon the
policy of the Irish parties. The
Laborites will support the measure.
After the bill had been presented
and explained by Mr.. BirreiI it was
criticised and ridiculed by A. J. Bal
four on behalf of the opposition.
John E. Redmond then delivered a
brilliant speech, noteworthy for it's
dignified and forceful exposition of
Ireland's claims for complete home
rule.
The audience of the speakers was
worthy the historical and parliament
tary occasion. The entire ministry
occupied seats on the front benches.
Mr. Balfcur Iounged in his character
istic attitude.
The floor of the house was packed
and the galleries held notable as

ISSUE WILL BE LIFE OR DEATH.
Raleigh Miller, Is Indicted by The
Grand Jury for RuruIary.

Late Friday afternoon the
Grand Jury carried before the
court a bill for burglary, and if
the defendant is convicted it will
mean that he will have to pay
the penalty of his crime with his
life. 1t will be remembered that
Miller was caught in the home
of a colored man in Hayti several
nights ago and his arrest soon
followed. At first it was thought
that he would only be charged
with entering the home, as the
door was standing open, but Gf-
ter the grand jury had heard the
evidence in the matter they de-
cided that he should be tried for
his life and they brought in a
verdict to that effect. The case
will come up at the December
term of court.

ATTACHED FOR CONTEMPT.
Bud DezePn Gets Into Trouble OF Ser
iOuS Nature.

Friday there was quite a sem
sation sprung at the court house
when Solicitor Brooks had a
capias issued for Bud Dezern,
and in the charge it was stated
that the defendant was wanted
for contempt of court.
1t is said that several Gays ago
Dezern approached Mr.. O. T.
Carver, one of the grand jury
men and told him that he had a
number of whiskey cases to come
at the term of court and asked
him to help him out as much as
he could.
The matter was reported to
Solicitor Brooks and after he had
made an investigation he decided
to have Dezern before the court
on the above charge.
1t is stated in the affidavit that
Dezern approached the grand
juror and after asking him sew
eral questions asked him if he
could not help him out in the
four or five whiskey cases that
were pending against him from
West Durham. Solicitor Brooks,
who heard of this incident, sent
for the grand juror and then de-
cided, after hearing a statement
of the affair, to ask for this rule
of contempt.
Dezern, it is said, says that he
did not intend any harm land no
contempt of the court. He 3was
only speaking to the juror in a
general way and not in a corrupt
way. r.. .~-~
