mt moro Than one wear or both such fine and
imprisonment in the discretion Of the court.
Yet the platform makers at Denver drew the
following resolution, which plainly lhdicates
that they were unaware of the posiuve pan
already put on political contributions Dy COT
porations:
In order that this practice THAT OF corpora
ton contributions for political purposesl shaii
be stopped for all time we demand the passage
of statute Furnishing with imprisonment any
officer of corporation who snal e,.ner en ntri
tribute on behalf of or consent 10 the con,ri-
button by corporation of any money or tning
OF value to be used in furthering the election
of President or Vice-President OF the uhlteo
States or any member Of Congress tnereo1
1t may now be argued. by way OF after
thought that the resolutions committee meant
to suggest merely that the punishment for vio-
lations of the law against corporation contriDu-
tons should be made imprisonment IN all
cases with no alternative Of a fine at the dis
cretion of federal judge. Yet II that was
what was meant 1t was easy to say so plainly
and directly, simply condemnlng the option OF
fine contained In the present law. We scarcely
think that the platform makers would have
been SO sweeping and general In their state
ment If they had known that federal statute
does subject officers and directors Of corpo-
ration to the peril of imprisonment for con-
senting to contribution by that corporation
tional paragraph of the platform they said
plumply:
We pledge the Democratic party to the enact
ment of a law preventing any corporation con-
tributng to a campaign fund
But that is certainly the undeniabe erect.
and was the express intent, OF the law or
January 90, 1907.
The Democratic convention may have
thought that 1t was making highly creditaDie
exhibition of political virtue. but the e1hlbi-
ton was belated and superfuous one. Why
should the convention demand the passage OF
a statute which is already in force and which
will apply this year In every state and terri
tory? The Democratic party has made habit
of overlooking accomplished facts ever since
its colossally mistaken declaration in 1864 that
1.-The war is failure" 1t loves to talk about
having been defeated by the use OF corpora
ton funds, and 1t is loath to surrender that
pleasing Illusion. 1t only reflects the glar1ng
inability Of the Democracy to keep abreast of
facts that II clamors now for ban on corpo-
ration contributions which has already been
esta blished by its political rival.

BOGUS CHECKS JAIL
MINING MANS WIFE
Beautiful San Juan Woman
With Babe Held for Police
Investigation

Locked with her baby ia the womens
ward of the city prison and accused OF
a crime which she stoutfy denies in the
face Of almost Overwhelming evidence
is Mrs. Z. Parrish. a beautiful young
woman, "a years old, the wife of a
well known mining man Of San Juan.
Since Monday the woman and herAchild
have been kept in custody while the
police have been investigating an al
legged forgery transaction that presents
a strange puzzle.
A secret investigation has been con-
Quoted and the husband of Mrs. Par
rish has already taken every possible
charges against his young wife. but
the mystery that attaches to the case
is as yet unsolved, and until a soIu-
ton is reached the woman is doomed
to remain in the jail.
CLAIMED TO BE WIDOW
Last Monday Mrs. Parrish appeared
at the police headquarters and sought
Policeman Frank McQuaid, who is on
duty at the central and who was born
and reared near San Juan. To him she
gave fictitious name, telling him she
was widow and that her husband had
just died, leaving her several checks
for collection. She gave the names Of
and then requested him to assist her in
cashing a check. He accompanied her
to the Western national bank, where
she presented check for $1,000 bear
ing what purported to be the signature
of a wealthy mining man of San Juan,
whose name is withheld by the police.
At the bank the check was scru-
tfnized closely by the paying teller and
the signature pronounced forgery, al
though it bore an excellent resemblance
to the genuine. Mrs. Parrish insisted
that 1t was genuine and produced two
other checks for $500 each bearing the
same signature. The bank, however.
refused to honor any of the checks and
McQuaid forced the woman to accom-
pany him to police headquarters. where
he told the story of the case to Cap
rowful tale Of destitution,e declaring
that both herself and baby were starv-
ing, and food was brought to them by
detectives from nearby restaurant.
WOMAN is IMPRISONED
Mrs. Parrish was questioned closely
by Captain Kelly, but adhered to her
original story. Chief Biggy was called
into consultation and itswas decided to
send the woman and child to the asso-
ciated charities until inquiries could
be made. A. dispatch sent to San Juan
brought out the fact that the woman's 8
husband Is alive and that the checks
undoubtedly were forged. AS result
of this Mrs. Parrish was taken back
to the city prison Tuesday morning.
Her husband arrived in the city yes
terday, visited her in the prison and
kept the wires hot in an endeavor to
prevent the fling OF charges which
the mining man whose name was
signed to the checks has threatened to
bring.
What tempted Mrs Parrish to bring
her baby to this city and attempt here
to pass forged checks is a mystery
that the police have not fathomed- The
woman was, forced to admit that her
tale of being a widow was false and
also to give her true name. but she still
asserts that the signatures on the
checks are genuine.

were the words Of wrathful Captain
Thomas Definot. The captain is . re-
tired mariner. the father of Maxine

Bitter words only had the captain for
his disliked son in law.
While he knows nothing of the cause
for Goodwin seeking divorce, in his
in being free from the alliance. He
admitted that 1t was quite possible
that Goodwin wanted to be free TO
marry Miss Goodrich.
He said that he had never been on
friendly terms with Goodwin since his
dauxhfer's marriage and that he had
seen practically nothing of him.
The captain continued:
Like all geniuses Goodwin needs q

would not believe him under oath. AS
