Was Stabbing Affair.

The young negress whom Mar
shall Jacoby was cautioned to be
on the lookout for must have
been a desperate character, &C
cording to the following item
taken from Tuesdays Lake
County Times:
Edna Lucas, a 17-year-old
colored girl, met Joseph Clark, a
we'll known Gary painter and
decorator, on Broadway last ev-
ening, had a quarrel with him,
borrowed a stiletto from a burly
negro who accompanied her and
then after repeatedly plunging
the knife into his body while the
negro held off the crowd, ran to
the home of a friend, dressed in
mems clothing and escaped.
1T was the most sensational
stabbing affair that has ever tax
en- place in this section of the
country. The fact that the girl
was so young, that her victim
was a white man, that the assault
was premeditated, that the negro
helped her and finally that she
and the negro escaped after she
has disguised herself in mems
clothes makes the case a unique
one in the police annals of Gary

NEW PHASE OF THE
BLIND TIGER MEASURE
Wayne County Courts Will be
Called Upon to Straighten
Out a Tangle.

A new phase Of the blind tiger
law has developed in Wayne
county and within a week likely
will be presented to the courts
for decision. Last week three
saloons in Hagerstown ceased
business as result of a blanket
remonstrance which makes JEFF
ferson township dry for two
years. One OF the saloon keepers
had a very large stock of whisky
and wines on hand which he
could not dispose of in the rush
unless he did so at loss.
He had stored the liquors in
a room over the saloon and will
convert the saloon room into a
cigar store and billiard parlor
The former saloon man claims
the right to store the liquors in
a room which will be kept locked
and not used for business pur-
poses of any kind. The authorit-
les assert that if liquors are kept
in the building a violation of the
blind tiger law results. Prose
cutor Jessup, it is asserted, ex-
poets to take action Immediately
holding the opinion that liquor
can not be legally stored in a
building unless some form of IL
|cense is held.

Lights of the Denver Convention

Alton B. Parker, rebuffed in
the convention in an attempt to
present his resolutions of respect
for the memory of Grover Cleve-
land, received the blow which
stripped him of every vestige OF
the glory which he held in 1904
as the titular head of the Demo-
cratic party.
William Jennings Bryan won
every essential point in the con-
vention prehminaries, and indica-
tons were that no name but his
would be placed before the con-
vention for the presidential nom,
ination.
Temporary Chairman Bell
made the keynote speech before
the convention, laying especial
stress on the necessity for clear
cut anti-injunction plank which
will limit the power of the courts.
Mayor Tom Johnson OF Cleve-
land and Daniel Campau of Mich
igan, favorites of Bryan, were
turned down for reelection as ma
tional committeeman from their
respective states.
Foes of Bryan issued a state
ment declaring they had $40 del
egates and could prevent the
nomination of Bryan on the first
ballot.

BREAK WITH VENEZUELA
Rupture of Diplomatic Relations
More Complete Than Be-
lieved.

The break in diplomatic rela-
tons between the United States
and Venezuela. which resulted in
the withdrawal of Jacob Sleeper,
the American charge d'aff@res,
from the Venezuelan capital, is
far more complete than was at
first generally believed. The full
text of diplomatic notes which
passed between Mr.. Sleeper and
DR.. Jose de Jesus Paul, the Ven
ezuelan Minister OF Foreign At
flares. subsequent to the with
drawal of Mr.. Sleeper, indicates
that not only are the friendly re-
latlons interrupted, but complete
" severed.
In his letter notifying the For
|efgn Minister of his intention to
leave the Venezuelan capital, Mr..
Sleeper wrote that in view of the
Venezuelan governments per
silent refusal to give redress for
the governmental action by
which all American interests
have been destroyed or conhscat-
ed" and Gin view of the tone
and character of the communica-
|tions received from the Venezue-
Ian government" he believed that
the further presence in Caracas
OF diplomatic representatives OF
the United States subserved no
useful purpose
DR.. Paul's reply to this COM
|munication was made in the same
|tone which characterized previous
communications made to the
American representatives. 1t de-
clared that President Roosevelt
has persisted in asking redress
for American interests and indi-
viduals without any justice and
right. and that Venezuela was
not blamable if it did not permit
the nation to be "wrested of its
rights" A request for "safe con-
duct" made in Mr.. Sleeper's let
ter was refused on the ground
that as no state of war existed.
the Venezuelan government did
not consider it necessary or fit to
grant it.

A BRYAN Platform.

A presidential nominee always
represents in his own person his
party's attitude toward public
policies in the campaign as much
as the platform itself. This is
more than usually the case with
a man ike Bryan, who has stood
before the country continuously
for twelve years as the exponent
of a certain mood and a certain
tendency in American politics.
As to what that mood and that
tendency are nobody is ignorant.
We know them by thspeconomic
school of thinking in which they
took their root, and also by the
enemies they have raised up
within Mr. Bryan's own party.
Whatever Grover Cleveland and
John G. Carlisle and Thomas F.
Bayard stood for, the Bryan pol
Tcies oppose.
Knowing, then, the Bryan at
titude toward economic truth
and financial experience and
thrifty industry and the sanctity
of the courts, the Democrat who
proposes to nominate Bryan and
yet enunciate a platform in con-
soance with the principles of our
history and the facts of human
experience, demonstrates him
self thereby a coward and a
knave-coward because, know
ing Bryan to be- wrong he, never
theless, will bow the knee; knave
because he offers the country the
promise OF one thing in case of
Democratic success, when he
perfectly we'll knows that Demo
cratic success means another
thing.
So we shall have Bryan on a
Bryan PLATFORM result credit
able alike to Bryan's steadfast7
ness to the veracity of his oppon-
ents and to our common honesty.
1t is much better so. The tail
goes with the hide. As Mr.. Bry-
an pourS forth his well-known
and effectually repudiated views
throughout the campaign, we
shall at least have the satisfac>
ton OF knowing that those who
planned to set up platform at
variance with those views per-
ceived in time the folly and mis-
chief, as well as the impossibility
of such a course.-Indianapolis

SAVE CRIMINALS?

Charles w. Peters Recommends
determination as Last Resort

For the criminals first Of
transportation. For a similar
|offense-sent to a farm colony
and put to work out of doors, on
honor and not under guards OIL
within stockades. For repeated
offenses after Understanding

Such is the system for the dis
posal OF incorrigable criminals
that was advocated by Charles
w. Peters, chief deputy sheriff
Iof Cook county, in an address
Tuesday at the annual conven-
ton of the Interstate Sheriffs
Association in Minneapolis. Mr.
Peters is vice president of the as
ISOLATION.
In the more than twenty years
OF his experience lin handling
criminals Mr.. Peters said he had
known personally only one
genuine case of reformation. He
did not recommend any specific
plan for putting the habitua
criminals out of the way.
% "A large number of well-mean.
ing, but misguided, inexperienc-
ed, theoretical reformers," he
said, waste a lot of time and
sympathy on hardened criminals
1t would be far better and a great
deal more good would be accom-,
plished for humanity if that class
of reformers would devote some
of their time and energy to as
sisting the poor fellow who
through improvidence or misfor-
tune, has fallen by the way and
is struggling to keep out OF Jail
instead of the wretch who is
there by his own choice"

Two lAnti-Crime Powers.

The best protection for any
city is found not in the number
Gifts policemen but in the num-
Der of lights on its streets. An
other fact, just as true, though
not so we'll known, is that the
greatest protection to society is
found not in the statute books
but in the newspapers. No one
knows the number of men who
have refrained from committing
crimes against society through
fear of exposure in the public
press.-Leslie's Weekly.
