Inhuman Treatment Of Two Weeks
Old Infant by Its Mother.
DORA MARSH, COLORED, ITS MOTHER.
Marsh Woman Claims She Gave The
Child TO Another Found After
Being Deserted "a Hours
It's Father Now Known.

A most lnhuman crime was
brought to light on Friday night,
whena two weeks old pickaninn,
was discovered hidden away Ii.
an old trunk placed in the gutter
near the N. & w. railroad track
in Edgemont. Lonnie Thomp-
son, who lives in that place, found
the child. He says that on pass
ing that way Thursday night, he
heard the child crying, but he
thought it to be a cat in one of
the railroad cars. On Friday at
noon he heard the same noise, also
in the afternoon between 6 and z
O'Clock. Il was then that he de-
cided to investigate the matter.
Having located the noise in an
old trunk, he secured the help of
Mr.. J. ]. Baldwin, who also lives
| in that section, and together they
made a search, and found the
child which was almost starved
to death. The infa6t was almost
naked, and its bed consisted of
nothing but a bundle Of news
papers. 1t was evident, from
the condition Of the child, that it
had been left in that place for at
least twenty-four hours, without
any attention or nourishment
whatever.
Messrs. Thompson and Baldwin
Immediately summoned officers,
land Sergeant Pendergraph and
deputy Sheriff Belyin got busy
on the case. Theysent the child
to the Lincoln Hospital, and were
not long in running down the
mother Of the infant. After
about two hours of detective
work, they ran across Dora
Marsh. who was found in a cabin
near the city stable, and the of
fcers proceeded to take her to
the lookup. The Marsh woman
did not deny that she was the
mother of the child, but claimed
that on Thursday night she left
the home Of her mother on COL
fax street, and gave the child to
L negro woman. whose name she
did not remember, who had pro-
missed to take care of the child
for her. She was only able to
give the officers a description of
this woman. saying that she
worked in the factory and lived
onlRoney street. This story did
not hold, and she was placed in
the Jail.
The child was brought to the
mother. but It made no effort to
receive nourishment. Sergeant
Pcndergraph time after time
warned the mother to feed that
haby, or hang on the end of the
rope" and seeing that her life
was at stake and desiring to rid
herself of any charge Of infanti-
eide, she made a desperate effort
to keep the baby alive. The last
report Is that the child Is doing
well. being able to take nourish-
mcnt. The mother says that she
Is not yet q years, and that the
only reason she Ii not guilty of
murder, is because the child yet
lives.
The mother announced on Sat-
urday that Andrew Parrish was
the father Of the child, and they
were accordingly married at the
police station at $3.50 o'clock,
Squire ]. L. Owens officiating.
Mayor Graham decided that, in
view Of the fact that the child
must have attention. the mother
should 20 with IL to the county
home, and appear regularly at
succeeding courts. She was re-
cognized for her Appearance up

GERMANY AND THE GAMBLERS

When congress gets ready tackle the question of
regulating stock gambling it will do well to study the
iron-clad German laws the same subject, which have
been in force for years The German law prohibits
absolutely dealing margin in futures in the shares
of mines and factories in farm mill products The
penalty for such margin dealing is fine Imprisonment
for the broker. Spectator or mddleman involved
The law originally promoted by the agricultural
interests who claimed that speculation in farm produce
caused injury to the producers. 1t noticed that at
the time the crops harvested and the farmers de-
sired SELL the brokers and spectators depressed the
price by short selling but after the farmers had sold and
the mddemen had the grain the prices jumped up
again In this way it claimed that both producer and
lost and nobody made anything by it but the
gamblers 1t also claimed that speculation in iron,
COAL ore cloth and other things kept prices low for the
producer and high for the with the SPECTATOR
standing between them taking toll from each.
The German stock exchanges all under govern
ment supervision Speculation only be conducted by
licensed brokers. If broker deals with anyone who is
not licensed he cannot legally collect his claims. This
compels the merchant or manufacturer who wants to
speculate to ont into the open and have his name
published a gambler
Company promoters also severely handled by Ger
man law. Every new company must issue prospectus,
and promoters crminaly liable for every statement
made in the prospectus They equally liable for sup
preston of important facts.
Stock tickers are p1ohbited neither may brokers
send out tips market letters
1t is claimed that the law has driven much of the stock
exchange business previously done in Berlin and Ham
burg to Amsterdam and to Paris, but both Berlin and
Hamburg to be surviving the loss of the gambling
institutions

fortunes of either varying with
every moment; but as we fell to-

with the sharp point Of the curved
arm Of the settee, and he rolled
over on his face with low moan
A hasty examination showed me
that though he bled somewhat pro

lifted him onto his bunk, took down
the key of the storeroom, went out
and locked him in.

Special Correspondence to The Press

oPecial correspondence TO the Press
CHICAGO, March 23.-While the
bituminous coal miners are talking
about strike, the railroad compa-
MES are laying in hundreds and
thousands of tons of coal.
The Illinois Central alone is heap
ing up 100000 tons at an expense
OF something like $250.000.
Multiply this heap OF coal and
this heap OF dollars by the wise
railroad companies OF the country,
and 1t affords some idea of the gray
ity with which the railroad officials
view the demands of the coal
miners.
I'VE cant afford to take any
chances" said Division Superinten-
dent Battisfore of the Illinois Cen
trial I'VE are loading coal--and

points, while trainload after train
load more is coming in every day.
That is why the Chicago & Alton
Is doing the same thing, as we'll as
the Pennsylvania, the Chicago, Bur-
lington & Quincy and other big sys-
TENS.
1t is safe to say that almost ev-
cry one of the great systems of the
country is filing every empty car
with coal, and hurrying it to a con-
venient yard.
What is true of the railroads is
true in lesser degree of other indus
trial concerns. Coal dealers are
seeming threatened complications,
and coal is pouring into every yard
in an almost unprecedented flood.
If the strike comes, most of the
railroads will be ready for three
months Of trouble; II it doesn't
they will not have lost anything.

FIVE MEAT TRAINS
Will Pass Through Marion
Each Day.
Work on the New Gas Plant will
Begin at Once News From the
Railroads.

1t is practically conceded that the
contract for carrying meat for the
Armour company, of Chicago. which
has been sought by the Erie road,
will be awarded to that road within
the near future. In fact the greater
part of the business OF the company,
which is being sent TO Chicago, is
now being taken over the road and
the amount being carried each day
surpassed that of any other period
in recent years. Five trains of meat
for the company are sent through this
point daily and are iced here While
In the past from one to two trains
have passed through. from three to
five are iced here each day. A verb
al agreement to this affect was made
with the Erie company some time
ago. The new business adds very
much to that on the road in general
and especially at this point. A
larger force of men will soon be need
ed to properly care for the icing of
the trains. The contract proper is
expected to be in effect early in Sep
tember.
