VAGRANCY BILL BY

Washington, February 90.-A vagrancy bill prepared for the purpose of suppress ing crime in this city was introduced to- day by Senator Tillman.
 There Is a clamor abroad" said MT. Tillman, flor an increase in our police force. I am sure from my knowledge of the negro race that widespread vagrancy here is the cause of this crminology. This is owing to the over education of some 'niggers' who are made to have higher aspirations than 1t is possible for them to attain"
 MT. Tillman's bill defines among other forms of vagrancy "a man who lives on the earnings of his mother wife or minor child" The bill, he said, Is in the form of a Massachusetts law with some little elaboration to try to make the net little more catching"

LETTERS TO THE -DIToR
THE FABULOUS BLAST. Christ and the Liquor Traffic.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 My attention has been arrested by, the remarkable delverance issued by the Ma tional Model License league and ad- dressed to the clergymen of this country. l belong to this class and cannot resist the temptation of replying to it through the columns of your wide-awake paper, if you will grant this courtesy to stranger. For two years, nearly, I have been going up and down the land as an evangelist, from rum-soaked New Jersey to tho prohibition paradise of Kansas, from whisky enslaved Pennsylvania to Alabama. rejoicing in her liberation from the domination of the liquor oligarchy
 I have seen wonderful sights I have read wonderful productions pro and con; but never anything like this. I believe it to be unparalled and well deserving place in the archives of temperance liter ature.
 A Scare Article.-It is very plainly this. When the liquor league condescends to agree with the ministers of the land that the liquor business rests upon divine sane tion, then something is doing. Either there Is sorrow In the hearts of the liquor men in view of the fact that the clergy men are so densely ignorant of the teach ing of scripture, or else an acknowledg- ment that the continued sledge hammer blows from the pulpits of the land are se- riously bruising the skull of old Gam brlnus. I confess to the fear that the latter proposition is the correct one.
 Christ as a Drinking Advocate Christ did turn water (not grain) into wine I fancy it must have been an un- usual brand. He did not brew beer. He did not operate a distillery. He did not commend the licensed saloon. Nowhere in the Old or New Testament is there anything but stern condemnation for drunkenness. Woe is pronounced in trenchant tones against him (saloonkeep- er) who giveth the bottle to his neighbor, and heaven is locked against the drunk ard, and perhaps against the drunkard- maker Will prohibition, as the league seems to fear, '.undermine the very foun- dation of the Christian faith by proving to the American people that Christ did wrong" at the wedding in Cana of Call lee?
 Dear brethren of the liquor league, don't you fear for one minute the destruction of Christianity for any such reason as this If this is all that flinders you, you may safely become prohibitionists your selves You cannot argue from the we'd ding of Cana, honored by the presence of the Son of God where there was naught of the shame that always attaches to drunken revelry, to the sorrow breeding, home-destroying saloon of which you are the champion. The wine that Jesus made was as harmless as the water out of which it was produced

SEVERE SENTENCE
 FOR KIDNAPPING
THE MAN GETS 30 YEARS AND HIS WIFE GETS 25 YEARS FOR lN- HUMAN TREATMENT OF YOUNG GIRL.

Chicago, February Civilian Jones. also known as William Birmingham and his wife, Alzina Jones were found guilty by jury in Judge Kerns court tonight of having Kidnapped Lillian Wulff, 12- year-old girl from her home in Chicago last December. The punishment Of Jones was fixed at 30 years and that of his wife at 25 years in the penitentiary
 The Wulff girl was taken from hsr home in the southern portion of the city by Alzina Jones early in December, 19O7 A week later Jones and the girl were found near Momence, Ill. Jones and his wife were arrested and brought back to Chicago with the child. The child testi- fled that after being taken prisoner her clothing was taken from her and burned by the roadside and that she was whipped by Jones on several occasions when she attempted to escape. When found she was clothed in rags.

cry of men interested in the saloon busi- ness They are sorry that prohibition fails to prohibit. That is, the men who make a prey of their fellow-men because of weakness, and who do all in their power to develop weakness, until 1t be- comes an uncomfortable passion, are greved because prohibitiontwhich aims to destroy their nefarious traffic and turn brewers and distillers and saloonkeepers into some honest employment, fails to ac- complsh absolutely this desired end.
 What strange group of mourners these sad-hearted men are!
 'Prohibitory laws merely prohibit the manufacture and sale, and do not pro- hibit the purchase and use of alcohoiic liuuors" This is the charge, and 1t IS correct. It probably is about as far as such law can go, at least now, Wlthout infringing on the sacred territory Of per sonal liberty. When the time comes that it seems necessary and prudent to provide a penalty for the purchasing or holding or alcoholic liouors, I doubt not that tenn perance people will be quite ready to join inc run sellers in insisting upon such Q statute.
 Moonshine -"Prohibition en- oo,,ra e,es .moonshinersv This is another scare cry.' And mail orders' multiply! !! What then? The law is laying it's hand more and more on whisky mail orders, and the moonshine business is carried on at the muzzle of the gun
 What does 1t mean? That men engaged in inc traffic defy law, just as they disre- oard the inalienable rights of their fellows fo the pursuit of peace and happiness. It will be a great day for America, for Americas homes, for the rising genera ton. for every legitimate branch of trade, when the liquor business becomes an uni versal outlaw, and when its manufacture, if carried on at all is prosecuted in the fastnesses of the mountains, with sheriff and armed posse everlastingly on Its trail.
