ARNOLD MUST GO BACK.
Automobiles Must Answer Charge of
Larceny.

Homer Arnold. accused of stealing
$1,000 automobile in which he
owned a $500 interest, will have to go
back to Colorado to answer to the
charge of grand larceny. This was
the decision of Governor Hoch this
morning in the contested requisition
case for Arnold's return.
Arnold was in partnership with a
man named ]. L. Hughes out at Eads.
Colo. They were engaged in the real
estate business. Last June they
bought an automobile at Salina, pay
ing $1,000 for it. Hughes put up
$500 and Arnold 800. The machine
was kept in a shed at Eads. Finally
Arnold desired to sever his partner
ship with Hughes, and tried to make
a settlement with him. They failed
to make terms. and then Hughes
fearing that Arnold was trying to get
the best OF him, put a paddock on the
door of the shed. Arnold went to the
shed, broke it open, and drove the
machine to Tribune. Kan, which is
just across the Kansas line. In an
affidavit, Mr.. Arnold says that he pro-
poses to go back to Colorado when he
gets ready; that he has made no eff
fort to conceal his wherea bouts, and
Hughes for his share Of the automo-
bile.
Nevertheless, he will have to go
back to Colorado and prove to the
jury there that he is not guilty of
grand larceny. He is now at Tribune
and the sheriff from Colorado intends
to put Mr.. Arnold into the "stolen"
automobile. ana drive him back across
the state line.

Fire Ordinance.

Manager Chas. Heuck, of
Heuck's Opera House, was called
upon last week to answer TO an
affidavit by Acting Marshal Davis
charging him with violating the
fire ordinance of the city in max
ing repairs on the Opera House
lately damaged by fire.
On being tried before the May
or, Mr.. Heuck was adludged gull
ty and fined $25 and costs; where
upon he took an appeal from the
Mayors decision and entered into
bond until the appeal is decided.
The alleged violation consists in
enlarging the Opera House. which
is wooden structure and located
in the fire district. about s feet
beyond its original proportions.
Brookhaven's fire ordinance has
never yet been tested in any of
the superior courts and this test,
covering various law points, will
now be made.
Meanwhile, Manager Heuck
will go ahead with the work now
under way on the Opera House;
but if the case is decided against
him on appeal, the additions to
the building will have to be re
moved unless a compromise is
effected with the city afterward.

Railroad MANAGEMENT d Public Trust.

+ @N -
In recent interview il the
New York World. B. f. Yoakum,
lof the Rock Island Frisco system.
unlike most Of The railroad mag
mates of the country, gave forth
the following clear, true note Oh
the subject of railroad manage
ment:
A railroad management has no
more business to be at the mercy
of stock iobbers than savings
bank or a life insurance company.
The American railroads are, or
should be, as much a public trust
as these institutions. When the
public insists that they be run.
honestly they will begin to fulfill
their rightful destiny and, too,
they will be more prosperous than
they have ever been.
No one is to blame for the pres
ent anti-rallroad sentiment but the
railroad managers themselves.
Wild and ruthless speculation in
the securities of a railroad compa-
ny should be made subject to
criminal prosecution. Stock and
bond values should represent act
ualities, and not hot air, though
even this condition will ADJUST
itself in time. Over-capitaliza-
tion or water" is bound to be
squeezed out automatically, for
no stock will sustain itself for
long above fair dividend earn
ing price.
