Sir John Charles Day, the English
Judge who earned the title of the
"hooligan's terror" died at the age Of
eighty-two. In the nineteen years Sir
John was a judge Of the high court
from 1882 to 1e01---he was noted for
his gift of solemn humor and for his
drastic logging sentences. In fourteen
years he sentenced 1877 criminals TO
3,T0e strokes Of the cat. Once he said
to gang Of Liverpool rufilans: II am
not going to give you men long terms
Of Imprisonment, but when you go In
you get twenty lashes Of the cat: wher
you have been in nine months you gel
twenty lashes Of the cat; before yor
come out you get twenty lasbes Of th,
cat. And then you can show what 70,
have got to your friends" He was per
haps the only English Judge who evel
did 'hard labor" While on a visit to {
prison he tried the treadmill. but wher
he asked TO be set free the guard pre-
tended not to hear his request. Tn,
Judge was perspiring freely by tn,
time he was permitted to abandon bill
experiment.

French Economy.

"a man doesn't have to go 10 Paris

"All he has to do is to get job like

French families, and he'll learn some
astonishing lessons In the art Of saw
Ing. Up to two months ago ] was
working in a building Of that kind.
So far as attending to the garbage
was concerned, had the easiest time
Of my life. There was practically no
garbage. The people lived well
enough, guess, Anyhow they re-
ceived packages from the butcher and
grocer, but they never seemed to
throw anything away. About the only
thing they didn't eat was coffee
grounds and potato skins and tomato
cans, and there was precious little
waste of even that.
where l am working now the fami-
lies are all American. That is where
the food goes to waste. The people in
that house throw away enough pro-
visions every day to feed all those
French families a week."-san Fran

PRESIDENT INSISTS ON
JAIL FOR WEALTHY
FAKER
A Man Who Manufactured
Headache Cure" Must Pay
Penalty. Says Roosevelt.
GREW RICH FROM
DANGEROUS DRUGS

Washington, March 1S.-President
Roosevelt directed the district attor-
ney, Mr.. Baker, today to insist upon
jail sentence for Robert n. Harper,
president of the Washington chamber
of commerce and president of the
American National bank, found guilty
i'm the police court here of violating
the pure food law. The president IN
structed the district attorney that as
Harper was a man of great wealth
punishment commensurate with his
crime should be inflicted.
Robert n. Harper was arrested sew
eral weeks ago for manufacturing and
selling Brain Food" or "Curforhed-
axe" a headache remedy which, ac-
cording to evidence in the police
court was compounded by him per-
sonally. His manufacturing estab-
lishment in the Harper building on
c street was raided by the district
attorney after numerous complaints
had been made.
1t was alleged that this compound
was food for the brain" and two
million bottles were sold annually. On
the label of the bottle, it was alleged,
was the statement that "Curforhed-
axe" contained no poisonous or harm
ful ingredients. According To an anal
ysis at the bureau Of chemistry Of the
department of agriculture the prep
aration consisted of alcohol "a l-5
per cent; acetaniHde. 3 lilo per cent;
autlpryin, l 1-5 per cent, caffeine,
1 4-5 per cent, and bromides, S = per
cent.
The maximum penalty for the Of
fense of which the defendant was
found guilty is $500 fine or one year
Imprisonment in Jail, or both at the
discretion of the judge presiding at
the trial.
Mr.. Baker argued with especial
emphasis the fact that Mr.. Harper is
not a chemist, but Notwithstanding
that fact compounded "Curforhed-
AXE" composed OF dangerous and in
furious drugs. Mr.. Baker insists that
inasmuch as Mr.. Harper, by his own
admission, compounded the prepara-
tion, there was no irresponsible sub
ordinate. A fine therefore of 5000 for
a man who had grown rich out OF his
compound the district attorney will
insist. is entirely inadequate and a
Jail sentence the only proper punish
ment.

Believes Statements True.

In regard to the part of orchard in
the Haywood and Pettibone trials
Judge Wood said in part: 81 am
more than satisfied that the defend
ant now at the bar of this court has
not only acted in good faith in max
ing the disclosures he did, but that
he also testified fully and fairly to
the whole truth, Withholding nothing
material and declaring nothing which
had not actually taken place.
Il am of the opinion that no living
man could conceive of the stories of
crime told by the witness and main
tain himself under the merciless fire
of the leading cross-examination at
torneys of the country unless upon the
theory that he was testifying to facts
and circumstances which had actual
existence within his own experience.
believing as l do that this defend
ant acted in good faith and when call
ed upon as "a witness for the state he
told all and withheld nothing, l can
more readily fulfil the duty that
consider the law imposes upon me. In
passing upon this question il is imma-
terial that the juries in two cases de-
clared they were not satisfied of the
guilt of the defendants on trial. The
statutes of Idaho impose a bar to
conviction upon the testimony of an
accomplice alone, and in eacn case the
court instructed the jury a verdict OF
not guilty did not mean the defend
ants innocence, but rather that guilt
had not been proven beyond 4 reason
able doubt.
For these reasons it is apparent
that the vsrdicts of the jurlcs referred
to are not necessarily at variance with
the views expressed here.
Il am thoroughly satisfied that un-
der the facts in this case the court has
a plain duty and that as the authori-
ties leave no alternative the defendant
must be recommended 10 the elem
eucy OF the pardoning board. The
recommendation of the court to the
pardon board is that the sentence
about 10 be imposed be commuted and
the death penalty remitted.'
Another reason suggested for elem
oucy was that Orchard had testified
-p many other crimes and the judge
believed sooner or later some particl-
pants Ia these crimes viii yield TO con-
science and join Orchard in cOufirma-
ton Of the disclosures made.
Judge Wood then formally SEN
fenced Orchard To death.
lie fixed May - as the date for the
execution.
Orchard thanked the court for his
kindly remarks in regard TO him, lie
repeated that he had tod the whole
truth and that no promise Of immun-
ity had ever been made To- him.
