What to Do With Him is a
Question that Has Again
Been Presented.
RELEASED LAST MONDAY
JORDAN SPEEDILY RETURNED TO
BEGGING AND DRINKING AND
HE is ONCE MORE UNDER AR
REST.

What shall we do with James Jor-
dam" is the question that is bother
ing the minds of Judge Converse and
every man connected with the local
police department. The cause for the
question was his arrest this morning
at the corner of Ft. Wayne avenue
and North ID street, on the charge of
drunk. Jordan at the time of his ar
rest was going from house to house
begging money that he might pur-
chase more liquor. His house to
house canvass attracted much inter
est and people all along FIT. Wayne
avenue near the point at which he
was corralled were out in the yards,
watching the actions of the man. A
crowd of small boys was following
him. He barely had strength enough
to make his wants known to those of
whom he was soliciting money being
all in, down and out from the effects
of drunk
Jordan's case is puzzle to police
officers. About seven months ago he
came into Richmond after several
years absence and Immediately went
to police headquarters where he ask
ed that he might be sent to the hos
pital. claiming he had left st. Vim
cents hospital in indianapolis but a
short time previous. This the officers
refused to do, and then Jordan stated
that he was crazy and wanted % be
locked in the police station. He was
accommodated. Seemingly the man
was intent upon breaking into the
jail, one way or another. and two days
later, after wandering over the city,
proceeded to get drunk and in his wild
orgies on the streets was arrested
and locked up. small fine was as
sessed and as soon as he was released
from custody, he repeated the perfor-
nance. This time the court taxed
him five months in Jail and he was
released last Monday. Two days OF
sober life out side the confines of the
county bastile were enough for James
and his arrest followed.
Jordan previous to his exit from the
county jail, asked to go to Michigan.
Sheriff Meredith wanted to send him
lift, the mans guardian, paid a weeks
room rent and board bill at the Bruins
wick hotel and Jordan remained. The
police think it would be a good thing
IL Jordan could be sent away. He has
been a city charge practically all the
time since he made his most recent
debut. 1t is highly probable that
Judge Converse will give the man the
full limit of the law when he again
faces the court Friday morning.

Boise, Idaho, July 1S.-The state of
Idaho rests content with the evidence
it has introduced to prove that Will
liam ID. Haywood, the secretary treas
urer of the Western Federation of
Miners, conspired to kill and there
fore murdered Frank Steunenberg. a
former governor of the state. Will
liam Haywood, through his counsel,
will rest his case with the jury, so far
as evidence is concerned. Possibly
some witnesses will be called in sur
nounced that the case may close with
out further evidence.
Judge Wood has invited argument on
his own proposition to eliminate cer-
tain evidence from consideration by
the jury and probably day will be
taken to present the views of both
sides as to the instructions to the jury.
On Friday morning argument is ex-
pected and the last stage of the trial
will have commenced.
After having dismissed the jury
Wednesday afternoon Judge Wood
stated his opinion that the evidence
introduced by the defense to prove a
conspiracy on the part of the mine
owners by showing the deportation of
union miners from the Cripple Creek
district of Colorado during the strikes
of 1908 and 1904, was not material to
the issue involved and should not be
submitted to the jury.
States Evidence not Germane.
On the other hand he Said the
showing by the state that Steve Ad-
ans was concerned in the killing OF
two men in the Couer d'Alene district
did not appear to the court to be GER
name and should be eliminated. He
announced, however, that the court
would hear argument on these points
Further the court asked that requests
for instructions be submitted at once
and arguments on these instructions
NAV be expected tomorrow.
Judge Wood has already stated that
on the main points on which he would
instruct the jury he hopes to shorten
arguments considerably.
Another announcement by the court
was a determination to conclude the
case within the next week. Judge
Wood said he would hold three two
hour sessions daily during the argu-
ments.
J. n. Hawley will open the argument
for the state and E. F. Richardson for
the defense. Clarence Darro" VIII
close It for Haywood, and the flnal ar
eument will come from Senator Bor-
ah.

TEoHl lueSudE y
The decision recently handed down by
the state supreme court relative to the

sensation among the villages of the

The village of Excelsior, the Mime

their rights have been infringed and
they are up in arms in consequence.

MATCHED TWIN GOSIINS
Two Feathered Infants Came Out OF
Same Egg.

Riverhead, l.. L.. May 20.-AleXander
B. Soyars, one of the large duck raisers
here has Matched two fine gOslings from
one goose egg Mr.. Soyars had Il goose
that laid four eggs. He wanted her to
lay more, but she wouldn't. He thought
he would break her up when she want
ed to set, SO as to get her to laying
sooner than if he waited for her to set
four weeks and rear her family, thus
getting another Matching this year.
So Mr.. Soyars put the four eggs I'M
der hen. She set as long as she
thought she ought to produce results
three weeks But the hen, not being a
goose, didn't know that it took four
weeks instead of three to hatch goose
egg.
Mr.. Soyars was present when the hen
left in disgust. There were the same
identical four eggs, all marked. Mrs.
Goose had refused to be broken up in
the three weeks that the hen had been
keeping the eggs warm, SO Mr.. SOyars
took compassion upon her and gave her
back the eggs.
The goose smiled at the ignorance of
the hen, and calmly sat down to await
results. Once more before the eggs We're
Matched Mr.. Soyars looked at the nest.
There were but four eggs. A few days
later Mrs. Goose came proudly marching
up to the house with five goslings trail
ing behind her. Her owner says that it
was impossible for the goose to have
laid an addition to the eggs and Matched
it out in the week. and he and his two
helpers all swear there were but four
eggs under the hen. and but four under
the goose, and only the remnants of
four shells when the goose came off with
her family

CHARGE A SERIOUS ONE.

If John w Gates is telling the trutl
many of the railroad wrecks are due tt
the poor rails manufactured by the Uni
ted States Steel corporation. That is d
serious charge to lay at the door of d
concern that is seeking business, but
Mr.. Gates must be in a position to know
what he is talking about. Mr.. Gates
says that under the process used by the
steel trust the first foot or two OF the
rails are full of air bubbles. and that
they used to be cut off to ensure a
sound and safe rail. OF late, so it is
claimed, the trust has been saving money
BY sending out the rails with the bad
ends. and in Gates opinion this has been
the direct result of some of the awful ca
tastrophes which have been the cause of
the wholesale loss of life, not to men
tion the great number of injured.
Mr.. Gates is now buying of independ-
out much superior article. 1t should
be an easy matter for the government
and the big railroads to ascertain
whether Mr.. Gates statements are
founded upon facts. If SO the remedy
is plain.
Ii must be admitted that the accusa.
ton is a serious one. We hope that it
is not true. We do not like to believe
that even trust that robs the public
would enter into diabolical conspiracy
to murder people. The charge, however.
is of such serious character that an
investigation as to its truth OF faisIty
should be instituted.
Recent issues of The Scientific Amer
lean have contained strong articles i'll
which the steel trust is directly charged
with being responsible for the increasing
number of railway disasters and the APP
paIling loss of life. 1t declares that the
trust uses low grade of ore to make
of the ingots is not fit for the purpose
and should be rejected yet to increase
its profits the trust rolls all of the
incots into steel rails. The steel COM
pany increased the weight of the rails
from eighty to 100 pounds per foot, but
this was of no benefit The wrecks con-
tinued.
A few months ago the railway com
mission of New York state commenced
an investigation of the number of
wrecks, and i'll a report recently made
public they stated that for the first four
months of the present year 2,499 broken
rails were removed or caused wrecks i'll
that one state, New York. The steel
trust is charged with having connivedi
at murder. Can that corporation clear
its skirts of this fearful accusation?
This is the corporation that has been
nursed, fonded and pampered for many
years by the government. Now that its
child has been charged with high crimes,
the parent should make an investiga-
ton, and if the allegations are found to
be true, he should administer the proper
punishment to his offspring.

MANS INHUMaNlIY TO MAN
Bad Treatment Of a Young Stranger
at ST. Cloud

st. Cloud, May l6.-Alone, without a
friend, shivering with the cold a young
man lies at the point of death in gran
AIRY two miles east of this city. Such
is the plight of young German lad,
barely twenty three wears of age, who
came to st. Cloud two weeks ago, in
company with John Benttield, former
lanitor at the normal school.
Dissatisfied with the condition i'll the
Naterland, he comes to America to seek
his fortune Dreaming Of his old home
across the waters, homesick and unable
to speak word of English, armed with
IA certificate of good health. he entered
one of the local hotels, little knowing
the unsanitary condition of that build
ing. Here Ire remained week, through
the efforts of his friend, Bentfied, he
was taken into the home of Il German
family in the town of Haven, two miles
east of this city. As soon as he arrived
there, he became deathly sick. \ st.
Cloud physician was called, who did not
know the nature of his disease. He rap
idly grew worse until the family with
whom he was staying became alarmed
and brought him to this city on Sunday.
Upon taking him to the health. officer.
il was discovered that he was very ill
with small poX DR. Dunn took him to
the hospital, but the contagious ward Of
that institution is filled with patients
and there was no place for him to go,
he was turned over to the city attor
ney. When it was learned that he be-
came i'll in the town of Haven, he was
told that according to the laws of the
state the city of st. Cloud could not
take care of him and he was told to
skiddoo. \ few hours later, he was
found crouched OF the damp ground just
outside the city limits, weeping and call
ing for assistance. He was then taken
by Mr. John Coates back to the farm
where he had been taken ill. The fam
lily, however refused to admit him and
he was forced to lay the sick man in an
old granary. Here he remains while the
disease is running its course and i'll all
probability he will die.
1t seems that the city officials could
not have acted otherwise in the matter
but it also seems inhuman to let a man
suffer alone, when help is so necessary.
The supervisors of the town of Haven
were notified but it seems they had no
place for him and while the authorities
are discussln" the affair from legal
standpoint a human life hangs in the
balance
