CAMPBELL
RESIGNED

Guthrie May What could have
been the powerful secret force that
would persuade or compel Ralph Z.
Campbell, six months ago appointed as
federal Judge for the eastern district
! of Oklahoma, to resign that position,
/ which insured salary Of $4,000 per
annum, for the rest Of his natural life,
is a question which is perplexing both
democratic and republican politicians
at the state capital
That Campbell has resigned because
he prefers the practice Of law to his
position on the bench is not given a
serious thought, although the reason
which he has himself given for his un-
expected action
While a good attorney and man of
more than ordinary ability, Campbell
has never enjoyed a practice that
would return him salary Of S65O0 per
yesr to say nothing Of lifetenure in
good times or bad, and the dignity and
influence that goes with the exalted po
sition Of federal Judge. Il is unthink
able that a young attorney Of less thar
forty years, when such prize is with
in his grasp, would give it up voluntaI
ily for the sake Of going back to
precarious struggle for practice an
reputation. That some powerful me
tive known only 10 Campbell and poss
bly one or TWO others, is at the root
his sudder determination to resign,
he universally believed The political D
ole is full Of rumors, all Of which are
vague that they cannot be traced

led one explanation is that Campbs
an has realized his lack OF fitness to no
eet his position. It is claimed that one

the these is an opinion given in chambe

of tho future Is by the light of the
past and we find that If Almighty God

pirants to attempt to secure the nomi-
nauon for the position Of register OF
deeds. and on several memorable occa-
sions when this has been attempted
the city fellow has met with crushing
defeat.
This Is one line of argument that
the friends OF George Humbert are
using when they present his name for
the position for which he Is aspiring.
Another Is that Mr.. Humbert is emf
ueufly well qualified for the position.
He has had some years OF training un-

has lived for the last 20 years.

CONVICT IN VEN is
CLEVER DEVICES
IN PRISON
JOHN EDWARDS, BURGLAR, A MA
cHiNIST OF REALLY MARVEL
Gus ATTAiNMENTs-BUT HE
PREFERS LIFE OF CRIMINAL.

PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 1G.-With
inventive genius unsurpassed by a
dozen machinists In the world, John
Edwards prefers a criminal life and
glories in his exploits as a burglar
rather than in his many remarkable
and useful inventions. The police rec
ords OF the country know this man as
John Svetak, Kingsley. Stores, Reeves
and many other aliases. In trying to
escape from the Eastern penitentiary,
in Philadelphia. on Aug. 20. he fell
from the prison wall, distance of
thirty feet and broke his leg. He has
more than ten years or prison life
before him, taking no account OF de-
tainers from cities in all parts OF the
United States.
Edwards is a machinist OF really
marvellous attainments, and has per-
fected a device that he claims will re-
move all the present objections to
electric automobiles. He has also per-
fected and disposed OF an, attachment
which not only increases the speed OF
the operator. but reduces the cost or
operation. He says that shoe man
ufacturer near Boston has agreed to
buy q device OF his with which 70
make shoes Tor the government. Ed
wards says this device viii reduce the
cost Of making a pair OF shoes fully
20 per cent. o
Some Of the claims made by Ed.
wards are extravaganf. but all OF his
devices are Improvements upon ma
chimes invented by other persons. The
fact that his patents covered only bet
iermenis he always found 1t to his adj
vantage to sell his plans 10 those In
control OF the basic patents and thus
get his reward in lump sum, instead
OF IN the form OF royalties. His ear.
lest invention was device for slicing
carpet rags. This instrument was not
unlike a knife blade. and with its use
a child OF ten OF twelve years could
prepare ten pounds OF rags for weaving
while an experienced sewer would be
busy, sewing two pounds. He then
perfected two or three minor attach
ments for bicycles, but failed to pro-
kiuce a chainless wheel OF real COM
nercial value. He admits that he
drew the plans for bis chainless
wheel while serving a term In a
4 western. penitentiary. He developed
clutch or hook which Is now used
as an attachment OF steam shovels. and
he also perfected sewing.marhfne
attachment which Is In general use.
Any one of these inventions would
have made Edwards rich man had
he been able to sell them as patented
devices ARE usually Sold but as he
( was always being hunted and hound.
ed by the police he was always com.
PEELED 10 sacrifice his inventions and
10 divide the proceeds with innumer.
able agents who negotiated theft sale
Edwards says he has draughted the
plans for device that will turn rail-
way switches from the cab OF the en-
CINE regardless OF the speed or the
locomotive The records OF the patent
Office show several such devices, but
Edwards claims that his plans have
mot yet been submitted. He asserts
positively that working models have
Deen made and used. and that he will
live TO see the railroads utilize shi.
Device
