A good deal of prominence Is being
given in the German press to the ques-
ton Of machine guns and their place
in the German army, which is one OF
great and increasing importance. The
German gun is capable of 600 shots a
minute, but rarely delivers more than
from $50 to 400. 1t has been proved
that the fire Of these guns Is more &C
curate than infantry volley firing. the
whole theory Of machine guns. as I'M
derstood in Germany. is that OF massed
effect. No single gun fire. Everything
is reserved for a terrible han Wnen

Too Much at Stake.

The question for discussion before
the debating society that had met In
the little school house belonging to Dis
trict No. 13 was this: Resolved, that
the works published under the name of
William Shakespeare were really writ

The debate was fierce and prolonged,
but, as frequently happens in such
cases, the disputants on one side had
Informed themselves thoroughly, while
the others, relying upon their having
the popular side of the controversy, de-
pended solely on their oratory. Hence
the "Baconians," having earned all
that could be said in favor of their
contention, made really very plausi-
BILE case, and had decidedly much the
better Of the argument. At the close
of the discussion the three judges who
had been selected held brief consul
tation, and decided in favor Of the neg

"Why did you decide against us?''
subsequently asked one OF the dispu.
tants. You know we presented good
arguments, while the other fellows
didn't show any,"

Judge to whom this question was adj

HARD TO LIVE DOWN CRIME.

Exile of Twenty Years Returns to
His Native Land.
The Man Who Has Been, sorrowful
and with bowed shoulders, arrived yes
terday on the White Star liner Males
tic, in from Southampton. He was on
deck as the vessel came up New York
Bay, and as he viewed the changed sky
line Of the city he shook his head and
marvelled at the wondrous changes
which had taken place since last he
set foot upon these shores. The Man
Who Has Been, in reply to questions,
said that his name was Frank Coles,
but he admitted that he had not booked
under that name.
Coles Is an American, gray-halred
and corpulent, 5 feet 3 inches tall, and
wears a white-pointed beard. He left
this side twenty years ago, and he adj
mitted that he had dealings with the
police over here. His story was pa
thetic in some of its details.
He went abroad, 1T appears, to get
away from any faint of crime. Petit
larceny, he said, had been his record.
He had done fairly well in his endeav-
or to Give honest" both on the CONT
nent and In England. Once, some years
ago, In London, he had been convicted
Of larceny.

the way the old fellow put It, 81 was
arrested and served short term
Some months ago there was another
larceny, and though 1t was apparently
traced down to Coles, he was exoner-
ated and the culprit, q man in the en-
ploy Of the same firm employing Coles,
was arrested and forced to "dO his bit"
The Investigation brought out Coles
previous record, and so he decided to
come back to his native land. He felt
that under the new English immigra-
ton law he could be arrested on sus-
picion at any time and sent out of the
British Isles as an undesirable alien. I"
The distinguished looking old man
did not seek to make friends on the
steamer. He was, indeed, the Man Who
Has Been.
Beware Of the false start" he said,
''for 1t is by the start that the rest Of
our life is judged. am going now out
West to live with my daughter, and I
hope to live in peace"

returning exile fought with the other
passengers to get to the pier as soon as

Shocked the Fish.

Somebody has sagely said that
there is nothing new under the
sun but he is a product of an age
long since gone by and forgotten
shown in dispatch from Lancas-
ter to the effect that the authori-
ties there have just assessed a fine

Deeds tor violation of the fish
and game laws. In addition to
the trouble of Mr.. Deeds, three
others await the vengeance of the
law and it's offended majesty.
Deeds deeds deserve special
mention because to the hour of
going to press they are without
duplication and without danger of
being copyrighted.
Deeds devised new system of
defeating the fish and game COM
mission and the laws for the regu-
lation of sport in both lines in
this state, so provided himself
with long wire at one end of
which he fashioned the tines mod
eled perhaps somewhat after the
trident of the late Father Neptune.
The device was dropped into the
water, then with long pole of
wood he would drop the other end
of the wire on the third and dead
ly rail of the Scioto Valley trac-
tion line which paralleled the
stream with the result that a
binding flash and loud report
would follow and the poachers
standing in the river below or the
canal would have nothing further
to do than to gather up the fish
which rose quickly to the surface
of the water after the explosion.
This is considered the most
clever device to evade the fish laws
that she state commission has yet
discovered.
Poell>ally Mr.. Deeds had his
avenging Nemesis in special dep
uty by the name of Lawyer who
pursued him tn the bitter end.
Deeds, it is said, knowing that he
had been caught red-handed, was
| like Davy Crockett's coon and
agreed to come down.
Later in the afternoon of Thurs
day the three confederates OF
Deeds will be assigned to their
] fate at the hands of the same court.
They were Walter Streets, Dave
Walker and Mack Applegate.

FURTHER COMPLICATIONS have
arisen in this state. Taft's ally,
Boss Cox, described by him so
literally at Akron in 1906, has Sc
cured an injunction against the

and also filed suit in quo war
ranto. We must assume that Cox

the dealings of State officers, nom
mated by his behest, with it. He

proceedings observe all the etiquet

In Difference to his reconciled ally,
who has a reputation for iniuc-
tions, it is hoped that due notice
was given, and in case of any con-
tempt, another judge will hear the
matter, inasmuch as Congress has

tails so suddenly advocated by
