APPEALS TO UNCLE SAM
Justus b. Linderholm Seeks Release
From Asylum in Federal Court.

Justus B. Linderholm, who is residing
per request at the state hospital for the
insane, has filed a petition for writ OF
habeas corpus with George Sharitt, clerk
of the United States circuit court, and
the matter will be heard by Judge Pollock
in the course of a few weeks.
Iinderholm was arrested on a charge OF
bothering a sister of the late Carl Sven
sson, president of Bethany college, Iinds-
borg. He was convicted and charged with
insanity by the probate court of McPher-
son county, Kansas. The matter was taken
up in the district court and again he was
declared insane. He tried to obtain the
writ of habeaS corpus in the supreme
court but the matter was dismissed. 1t
is now in the hands of the federal au-
thOritieS
In his writ the petitioner claims that his
liberty is restrained and he is unlawfully
imprisoned by DR.. Thomas G. Biddle and
assistants at the state insane asylum, To
peka. The cause of the restraint is a war
rant according to the statutory form for
he commitment having found him insane
in the district court of Mcpherson. Mr..
Linderholm through hit attorney, John F.
Hanson, has many reasons for the state
ment that the imprisonment is Illegal and
unauthorized.
He claims that the proceedings were ap-
peaied from the probate court to the dis,
trict court and the petitioner gave bond
and was given liberty. The jury returned
verdict against him and he was given
go days extension of time to make and
serve a case made for the supreme court
and the matter is now pending in the dis
trict court on the question of case made
and approval of journal entry of proceed
ings. He claims that he has 60 days in
that the journal entry is fraudulent, fic-
titious, illegal and of no force or effect
| and is a direct violation of the federal con-
stitution. Also that the judge had no dis
erection to deny a stay of proceedings. He
finally declares that his state of mind is
perfect.

WEARS A DRAB SUIT.
Attorney General Wickersham Breaks
a Custom in Supreme Court.

Washington, May 1S.-Chief Justice
Fuller of the supreme court was yes
terday compelled to submit to a Sc
we're strain upon his courtesy. Orol-
narily the court does not on Mondays
receive applications for admission TO
the bar until after the delivery OF
opinions, but approaching the 1act
that the handing down of the court
decisions yesterday would consume
about two hours of time, and knowing
that a number of senators were wait
ing in order to move the admission OF
clients while they felt that they ShouId
be in thier seats in the senate, the
chief justice announced that the court
would so far depart from its custom SO
as to permit senators to present their
motions in advance of the delivery OF
opinions. The chief Justices an
nouncement was not generally under
stood and other attorneys than the
senators undertook to take advantage
of the courts liberality. Included In
the list were Representative Burton
Harrison of New York and Mrs. BelVa
A. Lockwood, who was once a candl-
date for the presidency. The court
readily granted a special dlspensaIlon
in Mr.. Harrisons behalf, but Mrs.
Lockwood was not so fortunate. she
arose to introduce another woman
who also desired to become a MEMBER
of the supreme court bar. BY the
time Mrs. Lockwood had addressed
the court the patience of the chief JUS
tice had become quite so taxed he de-
clined to admit her friends as mem
Der. Later in the day. however, she
was admitted with a number of other
applicants, who, like her, had been
compelled to wait.
There was another innovation in
the court yesterday when the new at
torney general, Mr.. Wickersham, ap-
peared in the court in his official ca
pacity in a light drab suit. Nothing
other than black had ever been before
known in the way of garbing for the
governments principal representative
at the bar of this high tribunal.

BREAD FAMINE ON.
High Priced Wheat and Strikers
Cause Bakers to Close.

New York, May ia bread famine
among the 100000 residents of the East
side was inaugurated today when more
than 400 bakeries closed down. The
trouble started with the increase in the
price of wheat recently and was aug
mented by the coincident strike of the
bakery employees on the East side.
At a meeting of the bakery owners
last night it was unanimously decided
to close all of their shops, numbering
more than 400. commencing this morn
ing. The police. hearing of this, de-
tailed an unusually large number Of
men on duty in that section today dur
ing the hours when housewives usually
visit the bakeries. There was a fear
that the riotous scenes of a few years
ago, when the price of meat was raised,
might be repeated.
Bakers which are not affected by the
action of the meeting last night will
not be able to supply one-tenth of the
demand for bread in the crowded East
side and therefore it was believed that
there would be an unprecedented de-
mand for flour and bread from other

PLEA FOR BOYS ARRESTED.
Correspondent Says They Were Not
Even Watching Crap Game.

To the Editor of the State Journal.
Walter Whitehead. Glenn Kistler.
Leslie Higgs and Dave Bickle We're
walking in West park Sunday after
noon. Seeing a crowd of men and boys
they walked over where they were.
No sooner had they arrived, when sud-
denly policeman appeared, the guilty
persons who were playing game OF
seven come eleven, as it was called in
last nights police jottings, all fled ex-
cept three of the guilty persons and
the four innocent boys who were Won
dering what the trouble was. They
hadn't long to wait, however, as they
were arrested. What for? They were
not even witnesses to the game. Is
this fair to these boys who are just
starting in life without a stain on their
fair names? Is there no way to pun
ish such dull-headed policemen? Can
they find no guilty people in town to
arrest? If not, I am truly glad To-
peka is getting to be so good, they
can find no guilty people. With the
early training these boys have had, I
think they have their aim in life set
higher than to be policemen as badly
as we are needing good, honorable men
to protect the innocent and avenge the
wrong What these boys want is JUS
tice.

HOW TO BLOW A SAFE.
Professor of Art Taken With His Con-

New York, May 1S.-Of all the
literature and lore of the underworld

New York police, naive code of in
structions in the gentle art of safe
cracking holds at least a near record
for brazen, yet humorous originality.
This latest contribution to yeggmen

a correspondence school on chow to

in the rooms of an energetic indi-

rogues' gallery as No. 5000. He was
plain a recent robbery. His treasured
document says among other things:

TAFT'S SUMMER OFFICE.
It Will Be in the Board of Trade
Building at Beverly, Mass.

Beverly, Mass, May 1s.-F'or the
first time in the history of the United
States, the president will occupy dur
ing the summer months as his official
headquarters rooms provided by the
board of trade of a municipality. The
rooms are located on the second floor
of one Of the principal business blocks
of Beverly and consist of a suit of
four rooms. The furniture is simple
but will undoubtedly appeal to the
democratic President Taft.
The offer was made by the Beverly
board of trade as soon as it was de-
fnitely announced that the president
was to locate here for the summer.
The offer has just been accepted by
him and this summer will undoubted-
ly see him debating letters and
speeches to his stenographer in one
of the rooms while Fred Carpenter,
his private secretary, sits guard over
the outer door quite as at Washington.

KILLED DR.. JONES?
Christian Natives May Have Murdered
Him for Revenge.

Chicago, May 1S.-Information that
DIR. William Jones of the Field mu-
scum, who was murdered at Duma-
batu in Luzon. on March %, may
have been killed by socalled Chris
tians instead of by savage head hunt
ers, has been received by DR.. George
A. Dorsey of the museum in a letter
from Dean c. Worcester, secretary of
the interior for the Philippines. Sec
rotary Worcester intimated that Chris
tians may have had motives of re-
venge for the crime.
According to Secretary Worcester,
1T is improbable that the head hunt
ing Ilongots. with whom DR.. Jones
lived and worked, were in any way to
blame for the death of the scientist.
These savages brought the body of
the murdered man to the authorities,
and all evidence points to their inno-
cence. the secretary declares. DR..
Dorsey recalled the fact that DR..
Jones had told him in one of his let
tiers that certain Christian native
traders had followed him into the
wild Ilongot country, having feared to
penetrate this district before his ar
rival.

JEFFRIES AND SMITH.
Pugilist Boxes on Ball Ground With
White Sox Pitcher.

Chicago, May 18.-As part of his
daily exercise at the Chicago Amer
lean league ball park. Jim Jeffries,
frolicked with the players, especially
Smith. At one time the piano mover
had pugilistic aspirations and
thought this a grand opportunity to
test his fighting qualities. Smith
could not penetrate Jeff's guard and
never came close to touching the
champion. On the other hand, jeff
hit the pitcher where and when he
pleased and, Smith soon realized that
he had better stick to baseball.
A suit has been laid aside for the
champion, but it is too small for
Jeff's large frame and he contents
himself with wearing a pair of
street trousers and an ordinary pair
of shoes.
