JEvNE BREAKS PAROLE: MUST
60 To JEFFERSONv|LLE PRISON
Undesirable Foreigner Convicted as Pick
pocket Will Be Deported Operated
at the Bremen Fair

The. parole OF Harold Jevne
who three weeks ago was SEN
fenced to the Jeffersonville Re
formatorv for period OF one to
fourteen years, upon his plea OF
guilty to the charge OF grand lar
ceny was revoked by Judge Ber-
netha. in a final hearing given
LEVINE in the Circuit Court Friday
moring. Sheriff Voreis was in
structed not to take Jevne to the
southern prison until opportunity
was given his mother to come
from Chicago to see him. This
latter order was made upon the
request of Atty. Kellison, who
has represented the wayward lad
through his trial. The charge
upon which Jevne was tried, and
to which he plead guilty, was to
stealing a motorcycle from the OF
flee of the Plymouth Tribune
early this summer. After lying
in iail here for several weeks, his
case was called. and Jevne plead
guilty and threw himself upon the
clemency of the court, who sus-
pended sentence on the good be-
havior of the lad Jevne broke
his parole this week, lied to Judge
Bernetha, and as a result will be
forced to serve his time in the
Jeffersonville prison. The lad was
given his chance, and did not take
it. Even his attorney, MIR. kelli-
son became disgusted with his
client, and so expressed himself
to the court Friday morning.
The manner in which Jevne lied
to the Judge was as follows: The
condition OF his parole was that
he should obtain employment
which he should faithfully pur-
sue, and if he suffered my
ance. he should report to the
court. He was given job at the
Novelty Works. and went to
work in that factory. On last
Wednesday morning be asked his
foreman to be let off 1T II a. m.,
saying that he had to meet the
Judge and probation officer at the
court house, at that time. He was
released from work. and his fore
man suspecting misrepresenta-
ton, telephoned the matter to the
sheriff. Mr.. Noreis waited for
the lad, and stopped him after he
had passed the court house.
"Why are you not working he
was asked. The lad replied that
he had been given an hours lay
off, to see his grandmother. He
was brought before the judge,
whom he told that he had been
let off to see his grandmother.
Ievne was detained, while the
story was investigated, which up
on proving false. Jevne admitted
having lied to the Judge. Later
he sought to excuse himself by
saying the work was too heavy
for him. 1t was found that he
was guilty OF breaking his parole.

Pickpocket is Convicted.
Charles William, the Syrian, ar
rested at the Bremen fair, charg-
ed with being a pickpocket, plead
guilty to the charge before Judge
Bernetha Friday morning. The
court took the case under advise
ment, until it is learned how steps
may be taken for deporting the
undesirable back to the country
from which he cmigrated to
America. The Syrian was unable
70 understand English, and was
examined through an interpreter.
He has not been naturalized, and

ported. The Judge told him
through the interpreter, that he
would either send him to prison,
or back to his own country. The
Syrian thinking choice had
been given him, replied that he
would prefer to return to his own
country. The witnesses for the
state were Benjamin Shafer, and
Charles Shock both of BreiCen.
The former was a deputy marshal
at the fair. The offense occurred
on Friday. Sept. 9th. Both men
had been sl1adowing the Syrian,
and caught him in the act of look
ing.ip the pockets of several Ia
dies. Finally he lifted pocket
book from a small girl, and was
then seized by the officers. The
Syrian in defense said that he was
partially intoxicated, and grabbed
the pocket book only as joke,
that he then threw it to the
ground. He stated that he was
91 years of age. and that he for
merly lived with his parents on
the outskirts of Jerusalem. He
had been in this country for two
years, working at Michigan City.
South Bend, Grand Ledge, Mich,
and Bremen. He had worked at
Bremen only two days before his
arrest. AT Bremen he had OBJ
tanned employment in the Radia-
tor Works.
The prosecuting attorney was
instructed TO communicate with
Governor Marshall. to determine
what should be done i'll the Syr-
ian's case. When undesirables are
deported, the steamship company
which brought them to this coun-
try. is required to carry them
back.

BASE BALL LAW

Tie Case Will Be Taken to the
Supreme Court for Final
Decision.

The Sunday baseball law is un-

{. Carr, manager OF the Indian
apoiis Baseball Club, violated the

bis teammates played the nations.
game at W ashington Park on a
Sunday last May. The jury as
sessed fine OF 81 and costs
against the defendant.
i MS verdict was reached after
a CELEBRATION lasting twenty-sev-
en- and one-half hours The jury
mel came into court a few minu-
ses before o clock, wan from a
day and a night OF unrest, and ev-
idently pleased with the pos
poets of bed at home.
According to the best informa-
ton obtainable four men on the
jury succeeded in pulling eight
others to signing a verdict OF
guilty, the eight having held
out for acquittal from the first.
On the first ballot the vote
stood s to for finding OF mot
guilty" and one man subsequent
ly left the majority side and went
over to the minority. After that
there was changing of votes, and
practically all day yesterday the
vote stood ito 4.
Shortly after the jurors return
ed from supper in the evening,
however, another ballot was TAX
en- and the eight men all went to
the other side. Whether these
men underwent a change of mind
on the constitutionality OF the law
or whether they went to the other
side rather than spend another
night in the jury room, is not
known, as all of, the members
were somewhat reticent concern
ing the vote after the verdict had
been read in open court.
Supreme Court to Decide.
Before the 1910 baseball season
opens it is believed that a SUI
preme Court decision will have
been rendered on the points that
were brought before the Jury in
the case that has just closed.
Charles Roemler, one OF the at
lorneys for Carr, said last even
ing that the case will eventually
go to the Supreme Court for a de-
cision, and that he expects the
matter to be settled one way or
another before the next season OF
baseball.
MIR. Roemler safd that he and
his associates will file motion
n arrest OF Judgment within the
next few days. In the event Judge
Pritchard sustains this motion
the affidavit against Carr could
be quashed, and, so far as the
present case is concerned, it
would then be stricken from the
| courts records aItooether An
other information could be filed
against Carr or any OF the play
ers, and the same points that
were involved in the present suit.
and the case would have to be
thrashed over again.
In the event the court refuses
to sustain the motion, however,
the judgment for the amount of
fine and costs will be entered
against the defendant and the
matter will be taken at once to
the Supreme Court.
Il believe we can get a decision
from the Supreme Court between
now and the time the next base
ball season opens, said Mr..
RoemlSr. Il do not believe the
higher court is So crowded with
cases but that a matter of this
kind could be decided in time for
! the next season.

CORSET HEALTHFUL
IF PROPERLY WORN
Experienced Dressmaker Lays
Down Rules for Correct ADJ
iustment of Laces and Stays.
BUY CORSET THAT FITS AND
DON'T WEAR 1T TOO TIGHT
The Purchase of a Good Corset
Helps to Solve Problem of
style on Small Income"

4 CERTAIN well-known dress
"a maker and corsetiere has been
widely quoted recently as declar-
ing that there is nothing in the least
unhealthful about wearing c~orsets, even
closely-fitting eorsets, provided that the
stays are not too tight. and the corset
is properly laced and adjusted.
Even physicians have admitted vague
ly that II wasn't just wearing a corset
that was harmful-it was wearing it the
wrong way. And there has prevailed a
somewhat hazy conception of what the
wrong way-and, by a process of elimi-
nation. the right way-was.
Here, then. are the rules laid down,
in a series of 'Don'ts," by the dress
maker mentioned above:
Don't let any one else buy your cor
set because a certain style suits her
there are a hundred chances to one that
it won't fit you.
Don't wear the same corset all the
time. It is far better hygiene and bet
ter economy TO buy two pair of one
dollar corsets and wear them alter
nately than to have one three-dollar
corset n wear it all the time.
Don't buy a dress corset at IS and
an everyday corset al 50 cents. Your
body should be given just the same at
tention when you are doing your house
work as when you are winning hrsts at
bridge tournaments.
Don't-don't-don't buy too small a
corset.
Don't use laces after they are thin
and stringy: your corset laces should
always be fiat and broad. Always lac
your corsets with two laces, each fv
yards long.
Don't draw the laces tight until you
have fastened the front hose-support-
ers to you stockings.
Don't attach the hose supporters in a
crooked line; be sure they hang straight
from corsets to stockings. If the corset
has hose supporters from the hips, fas-
ten those last of all.
Don't buy a corset. even the most in
expensive one. without having it fitted.
Shops make no charge for this.
Don't get your gown fitted until you
are sure Won are wearing the right car-
set.
1t was in consideration Of the same
subject, though from a different point
of view that a very well dressed young
woman, who lived, confessedly, on a
small income. declared the other day
that the solution of the worn problem
money lay, not in the purchase of suits
and hats. but in the wise selection of a
perfectly fitting corset.
