Pay Roll Patriot Gets Blow When
Chytraus Decides Galpin Case.

A smashing blow to the pay roll pa
triot was administered by Judge Axel
Chytraus of the Appellate Court in
Chicago when he handed down a deep
delving decision holding that NJ per-
son can draw two salaries from the
public treasury simultaneously.
The decision came in the case Of Her
man b. Meyer against County Clerk Jo-
seph +. Haas, an affair Of two years
standing in the court records Of Cook
County and involving the right Of
Homer X. Galpin, chief clerk of the CHI
cago Municipal Court, to sit in the
State Senate. representing the Second
District. Galpin's term as Senator is
officially waning, and for all practical
purposes has expired. Judge Clifford
refused to issue Il writ Of mandamuS
to County Clerk Haas on the petition
of Herman 3. Meyer, who had sought
Galpin's seat in the Senate. County
Clerk Haas In turn had refused to no
tify Governor Deneen officially that a
vacancy existed in the Senate from the
Galpin district following Galpin's cleo
ton as chief clerk Of the Municipal
Court. Judge Chytraus and the APP
pellate bench now hold that Judge Cliff
ford was in error and that Galpln had
no right to a seat in the Senate dur-
ing the last two years.
The point Of interest to politicians
generally, but most specifically unpleas-
ant to more than thirty members-elect
of the incoming Illinois General Assem-
bly,, is tina the common law is against
two salaries going into the pockets OF
one man at the same time from the
public treasures. and specifically that
4 State legislator under the const1tu-
ton is forbidden to hold any other re-
munerative office under the United
States or State government.
1t is known within legislative circles
and among politicians that a large per-
centage of the personnel of the Cook
County delegation in the Legislature
has an intimate acquaintance with some
public pay roll. There are examples
Of the same situation with regard to
some of the down-State members of the
General Assembly. Federal, State, city
and Sanitary District employees, who
are drawing pay now, will be noted on
the official roll call Of the Legislature.

John D. Archbold started life as ar
office boy. But he evidently didn't have
to look after the letter files.-Augusta
Chronicle.
1t is difficult for Mr.. Archbold to re-
member anything without referring to his
letter files. which, as the world knows,
are sadly Observation-Disclosures Star.
Mr.. Archbold was unable to explain an
item of 500. 100000 paid to P. S. Trainer,
beyond the mere fact that it was for "ad-
iustments.' Perhaps Mr.. Trainer did
some plumbing for the Standard Oil Com
pany.-Kansas City Star.
We infer tina the cost of the Archbold
letters is not included in Mr.. Hearst s
outlay of $4,000 for the Independence
campaign. The letters rave been listed
as a permanent investment, in all proba-
bility-Houston Post.
Though a man of letters, Mr.. Archbold
will waste no time writing an autobiog
raphy.-Atlanta Constitution.

CLAIMS TO BE HAYS WIDOW.
Woman Says She Married Son Of
Late Secretary of State.

That Adelbert Hay, son of the late
Secretary of State, John Hay, was a
husband and father at the time Of his
death from a fall from a second story
bedroom window, was declared by the
mother of Mrs. Mary Ryland Hay
who claims to be young Hays widow
after her daughter had applied for a
marriage license to marry DR.. Arthur
Kraut, a wealthy manufacturing chem
list of Philadelphia.
Adelbert Hay, she said, eloped from
Washington in August, 1900, to Allan
tic City with her daughter, and they
were there married by the Rev. Will
lam Taylor Snyder Of Washington. For
seven years she said, both she and her
daughter have tried unsuccessfully to
compel the Hay family to admit the
marriage, or at least recognize young
Adelbert Hay Jr. as the grandson of
the former statesman.
Obstacles were thrown in their way
and they we're handicapped by poverty.
She DR.. Snyder of withholding
the facts. Her daughter has a record
of the marriage, she says, but no Ger
tifcate.

c. j. BoNAPARTE- 1908, submitted to
Congress. In this connection he cites
the case Of the reversal Of the Standard
Oil fine Of more than S29,O0O,00O, III
which an application for a writ Of GER
tiorari has beer made to the Supreme
Court.
He holds that an amendment of the
present laws would be appropriate in
the case Of all criminal proceedings, but
suggests that it would be especially so
in connection with prosecutions where
the wealth of the defendant usually
renders an appeal on his or It's part
from any adverse Judgment a matter
Of course.
The Attorney Generals opinion Is
that in such cases there is no question
Of double jeopardy, as the appeal of
the defendant from the original convfc-
ton is recognized by the %undoubted
weight of well-considered judicial au-
thority as a waiver Of his rights in
this respect and as in the absence of
some Such provision Of law as the At

HOUSE SLABS AT ROOSEVELT.
Calls on Him to Tell on What He
Bases Secret Service Charges.

The House of Representatives Thurs
day, by unanimous vote, adopted a res
o;ution requesting the President to sup
ply it with any evidence that may be
in his possession that will justify the
statement in his last annual message in
relation to the attitude of members of
Congress toward appropriations for the
secret service Of the government.
Mr.. Perkins, chairman Of the special
committee charged to investigate the
allegations made in the Presidents mes
sage, and John Sharp Williams of Mis-
sissippi both stated on the floor that
it was the desire of the special commit
tee to be just toward the President in
allowing him to submit any evidence he
may have, and both declared that the
committee would give it full and i'm
partial consideration. Mr.. Perkins said
the committee would continue in ses-
sion during the Christmas holidays so
that it might receive such evidence from
the President promptly and proceed to
consider it
Both the resolution and all of the
preamble, except that part Of the latter
interpreting the meaning Of the Presi-
dents message in relation to the secret
service, were adopted unanimously by
a viva voce vote. Mr.. Bennett q New
York demanded a division on the pre-
amble provision stating the commit
tees Interpretation of the Presidents
structures upon Congress, but before
the division was entered upon endeav-
ored to withdraw his motion. Mr.. Will
fans insisted hat this could not be
done, and, the vote being taken. 27O
members voted aye and IA no on this
part of the preamble.

Napoleon, o., I~nstitution, Involved
in Insurance Failure, Assigns.
Men cried and women tainted in the
streets of Napoleon, Ohio, when they
found a notice of assignment posted on
the doors of the Citizens State Bank.
n. D. Donovan was named as assignee.
President Heller of the bank is now con-
fined in a hospital in a Minnesota town.
The failure is said to be due to overloans
made by Cashier Groll to Judge Michael
Donnelly, who is president of the Ohio
German Fire Insurance Company, and the
assignment is also said to be the direct
result of the recent failure of that insur-
ance company. These loans to Donnelly,
il is alleged, were made without the au-
thority of other officials. The bank is
capitalized at $71,OOO and has an undi-
vided surplus of $21 900. The deposits
amount to $S35,OOO. The bank examiner
objected to an extension of credit to Judge
Donnelly and required the amount to be
made up by the end of this month. The
directors determined to make an assign
ment in order to furnish equa! and full
protection to all the creditors.
