WILSON GOT OFF EASILY
BAILEY RECALLS INCIDENT
Report Calls up the Fact That Many
Criminals get OF by Fighting Their
Cases.

Here's the case of fellow who
was just about as lucky as any man
who ever fell into the hands of the
Richmond police. Instead of breath
ing the air of freedom as he doubtless
is now il he is in the land of the liv-
ing he ought to be doing time in the
reformatory at Jeffersonville."
Superintendent Bailey made this re-
mark as he looked from his annual
report, which he now has in the
course of preparation. AS he gave
utterance to the remark the head of
the police department pointed to the
name of Ed Wilson, and continuing
said: THAT fellow, whom we learned
was dangerous crook. was brought
in, in January, 1906 for breaking into
Main street saloon, and carrying
off a large quantity Of stock. We
had him dead to rights, and he was
convicted in the circuit court on a
plea of guilty. We were dead certain
that he was good for a few in JEFF,
but a few days later he employed
lawyer changes his plea, and gets So
fine and forty days in jail for petit
larceny 1t was an awful sad blow

with sigh.

Thirsty Ones Forgetting the
Orders, Sought Saloons in
Vain Yesterday.
ALL THE DOORS CLOSED
POLICE WENT ABOUT IN PLAIN
CLOTHES AND THE ATMOS-
Pierre WAS AS PURE AS IF 1T
WERE SUNDAY.

1t was amusing yesterday TO note
the actions of many of that class of
citizens who are in the habit of in
dulging in alcoholic beverages. Al
though the papers had announced the
issuance of an order by the police
department requiring the closing OF
Richmond's AZ saloons, because of a
recent decision by the supreme court
holding that Washington's birthday 10
be a legal holiday. a number of bib
ulous inclined individuals evidently
having forgotten this fact almost pull
ed the doors off in their efforts to
gain admission TO drfnkeries in var
ious parts of the city. look of

and the plan of putting them out on
the streets on legal holidays and
Sundays with the idea that they may
be enabled TO catch any offending dis
penser of intoxicants is to say the
least very funny.
There is no doubt the order to close
was strictly obeyed throughout the
city, although many saloon men were
disposed to criticize the action of the
authorities 1T is the first time in

Debate Over Taking up of
Western Lands.
CROOKEDNESS is ALLEGED
CERTAIN AMENDMENTS PROPOS-

RED TO AN EXTENT,
Publishers Pressl


Washington, Feb. 22.-The house
became engaged today in a sharp de-
bate on fraud in the taking up of
homestead lands in the west. In the
sundry civil appropriation bill under
consideration is an item of $250,000 to
provide for the special enaction of
entry of lands as set forth in Presi-
dent Roosevelt's famous land order of
January last.
Representative Burke of South Da-
kota introduced an amendment that
there should be no investigation of
no entry unless there shall have been
filed by July 1, against the entry
some charge of fraud or non-compli-
ance.
Mr.. Mondell, (Rep. Wyo..) introduce
ed substitute for Mr.. Burke's am
endment to the effect that no inves-
tigation be made into a final proof
against which no complaint has been
filed.
Representative Lacey, fRep. Iowa
told the house that the amendments
proposed would make fraud sacred
that they would be no aid to honest
settlers, but that they would enable
the dishonest ones to carry out their
designs.
Representative Mann. (Rep. Ill.,
spoke along the same line saying that
before adjournment of the session he
hoped to put something before con-
gress that would send to the confines
of civilization certain gentlemen now
recognized as thoroughly respectable.

II "SETTLED" FOR THEFT
Besides These, a Number Of Pilferers
Went to Jail During the Past
Year.

Superintendent Bailey is working
hard on his annual report, and will
probably complete it late this after
noon. Among other things the report
will show that during the year of
1906, seven persons were sent to JEFF
fersonville, while four went to the
Michigan Sity prison for larceny. A
large number of arrests for this crime
were made during that period, but in
the majority of instances they receiv-
ed Jail sentences. Besides these cas-
es a large number of boys were gather
ed in for petty stealing, and either re-
leased on promise of future good be-
havior or placed in the Plainfield re-
form school.
