Carlson, and also certificates for the
amount of the deposits.
Eight Per Cent offered
These certificates, beautifully en-
graved bore Carlson's signature, ana
promised to pay the recipients thelr
face value ninety days from the date
they were made, together with interest
at the rate of per cent year
Furthermore" read the cert1hcates,
Il certify that this is a note backed by
my honor, and is secured by everything
which 1 may now or hereafter own,
either individually or as trustee, direct
ly or indirectly"
The total amount of the deposltors
accounts assigned to Carlson after the
appointment of Evan Lewis as Gus
todian last year is not known, but is
said to reach several thousand dollars,
These accounts were not included
among the liabilities of the bank during
the hearing Of the receivership proceed
ings. and thus the showing of the
banks condition at that time was ma
terially strengthened.
Receiver Lewis, it was stated yester-
day. will comply with the order made
by Judge Wilbur yesterday as quickly
as possible, and it is probable Carlson
will appear in one of the superior courts
some time during the next fortnight, to
give his reasons why the books as
signed to him shall not be placed in
Mr. Lewis hands
Upon learning Of YESTERDAYS action, it
is said Carlson returned a deposit book
secured from Joseph Van Buren,, 331
Commercial street, who had $50 de-
post in the bank. Mr.. Van Buren, said
he was lured into surrenGering his book
to Carlson, the latter claiming that by
this means the affairs of the bank could
be arranged so he could get his money
in thirty days.
Mr.. Lewis stated yesterday that if he
could secure about $1,000 in addition to
the money he now holds as receiver he
would be able to declare a dividend to
depositors of about 20 cents on the dol
lar. AS to future dividends he said the
prospect was gloomy, unless unsecured
notes for large amounts could be real
lied on.

SPUR TRACK FRANCHISE
GIVEN SOUTHERN PACIFIC
Three Members of Council Want
Three-Year Limit, but Are OUT
voted by Five Others

With only Pease, Wallace and Drom-
gold opposing the city council yester-
day voted to instruct the city attorney
to prepare an ordinance giving the
Southern Pacific a perpetual franchise
on Fourth street between Central and
Alameda to lay a double spur track.
Pease, Wallace and Dromgold were
willing the franchise should be granted
for three years, but believed 1t should
be terminated in that time.
Councilman wallace was not ready
to vote for the franchise at all unless
it included a clause giving the city the
right to take up the question of ele-
waited or subway street crossings at
any time in the future it might decide:
1.-THE question of grade crossings VIII
have to be taken up at some time in
the near future, and the railroads might

is coming soon when railroad crossings
will either have to be put up in the

SUED BY WIFE, REED
ASKS RECONCILIATION
WOMAN DECLARES EFFORTS
ARE FUTILE
Wealthy Sportsman and Land Owner
Asks for Delay in Connection
with Divorce Proceedings
Instituted

Howard S. Reed, the wealthy land
owner and sportsman, who week aso
was sued for divorce by his Wlte, LII
liam M. Reed. made an earnest plea'
in the form of an affidavit, yesterday
for delay in the preliminary court pro
ceedings in connection with the action
in order that he might have an oppor-
tunity to effect a reconciliation.
A postponement of one week was
granted by Judge James of the superior
court, but it was stated later by MIS-
Reed that the efforts to amicaoly ar
range matters outside of the court room
will he useless. Mrs. Reeds attorney,
Mrs. Clara Shortridge Foltz, said IN
stead of a dismissal of the tlrst com
plant it is probable another Will De
placed on file, in which Reed VIII De
accused of cruelty toward MS VINE aul-
ing the past week.
The latest acts of cruelty to which,
it is alleged, Mrs. Reed has been SUP
ected are said to include the receipt,
and especially the reading, of letters
written to her by her husband, in which
he employs terms of endearment quite
repugnant to Mrs. Reed in her present
frame of mind.
Furthermore. it is alleged Reed. who
is staying at the Westminster holel,
has kept the telephone in Mrs. Reed S
room at the Lankershim in almost con-
slant use in his efforts to communicate
with his wife.
Pleads on Knees
On one occasion he is alleged to have
entered her apartment unannounced,
dropped to his knees and implored ner
to bury the past and dismiss the third
divorce action she has brought against
him within the space of six months.
Reed SAYS his wife is subject to out
side influences in respect to her matrl-
monial relations with him, and that
she has a strong tendency to brood over
matters when left alone.
The proceedings continued from yes
terday seek to compel Reed to pay his
wife $500 alimony pending the divorce
trial. In his affidavit supporting the
motion for a postponement, Reed says
the suit is the third of its kind filed
against him by his wife within the past
five or six months, all of them without
his knowledge that she intended to
take such steps.
After the fling of the last suit he
says his wife told him she did not want
a divorce If they could live together
happily, and that they went on pleas
ure trip to Sierra Madre the following
day, and passed that evening together
at a theater. Last Monday, two days
after the suit was filed, he says, they
were at Santa Monica.
Until he was served with a copy of
the order to show cause why he should
not furnish alimony, Reed says he was
unaware that his wife was without
funds. explaining that he has advanced
her for her personal use 5000 since Feb
ruary l, and that the last advance was
made to her April o. when he gave her
$3.50. In addition, he says, she drew
on her own check from an Ell Centre
bank $1,000 in March.

The Courier-Journal is not a news
paper. There has been no greater
event in the Kentucky journalistic field
than the advent of Gov. J. C. w. Beck
ham 10 it, yet this so-called newspaper
makes no mention of it either in its
news columns or editorials. The rea-
son is that its editor hates Gov. Beck
ham and is small enough to show it in
this puerils way. In his support OF
Gov. Beckham, Editor w. P. Walton
also incurred the enmity of the great
sheet and his retirement from editorial
work after 30-odd years IS not regarded
as worthy of notice. This is peanut
journalism with vengeance. The
Courier-Journal can not ignore Gov.
Beckham to the latter's injury. He is
a foemau worthy of any mans steel
and Mr.. Watterson will be lucky if he
comes out even second best in a bout
with the brilliant young gladiator,
which is sure to come unless the great
editor" shows the white feather.

JUDGE M. C.tSAUFLEY
Makes Caustic Reply to Judge Ows-
ley's Card.
HARRopsBURG. May 5, 1909.


HARRoDsBURG. May 5, 1909.
In the card published by Judge Ows-
ley in the Advocate of April 2Sth and
the INTERIOR JOURNAL of May 4th he
refers to the position took in the joint
discussion at Lancaster, on the subject
of an amendment to the Local Option
law. by which. If enacted, the purchas-
er of spurious liquors in those districts
where the sale of it is forbidden by law
would be subjected to penalty equal
to that imposed upon the seller.
1t is true that during that discussion
then expressed, and do now express,
my belief that such amendment would
be more effective in the destruction OF
"Blind Tiger" traffic than the existing
law which limits the penalty to the sell
err. Judge Owsley commits himself to
the role of prophet rather than Ju-
rist. and with unclouded vision foresees
that this amendment would multiply
beyond measure the number Of blind
tigers and increase by thousand fold
the whisky traffic in the district Bold
words these; but if they be the OIL
spring of inspiration rather than the
exuberance of a stimulated imagination,
they must be accepted as true. 1t will,
however, strike the public as an unusu-
al dispensation of Providence that such
gift of clairvoyance has been conferred
on Judge Owsley when it has been mys-
teriously withheld from the member
ship of so many legislative assemblies
of Kentucky in the enactment Of laws
upon kindred subjects.
Has it multiplied the number of duels
and voluntary fights in Kentucky be-
cause all the parties participating in
such encounters are made, under the
law, equally guilty "a Has it increased
gambling for money or property be-
cause all the parties to the game are
subject to equal punishment -? Has it in
creased the indefensible practice of buy
ing and selling votes at popular cleo
tions because the seller and the buyer
are equally penalized ? Has it increas-
ed the disreputable practice which once
prevailed of selling and buying the re-
wards and profits of public office be-
cause of the law which imposes a like
penalty on both buyer and seller? Has
the betting of money or property upon
the result of popular elections been in
creased because the Legislature enacted
that parties to the bet shall pay fine ?
Has the betting on games played on IL
censed billiard or pool tables been in
creased because the law imposes pen
atty both on the owner of the table and
the person who makes the bet? Has
the violation of the 7th commandment
been increased because both parties to
the forbidden act are punishable at law?
When these and many other questions
of like import may be truthfully and
affirmatively answered, then the public
may be forced TO admit that the former
Legislatures of Kentucky have CROPPED
in uninspired darkness. and that new
prophet has arisen in Israel.

"PRESS ON"

Written for the /. J. by The Captain.)
Though dark the clouds that hover Ger
Lies dreary path Of sorrow,
And waves dash madly on its shore,
Twill brighter be tomorrow;
The bitter cup we all must drink,
So what's the use repining,
And in our journey ever think
That clouds have silver Innings.
The roads befof US, we must on,
There is no chance of turning;
Press onward and the goal is won,
IT'S fully worth the earning.
Then struggle on and make your mark,
What'er may be the morning.
IT'S true the way we go is dark,
Twill be brighter with the dawning.
If friends we love passed on before.
Have left our hearts n.sorrow,
Yet we should struggle all the more,
To meet them all tomorrow,
And when at last we walk that shore
And bid farewell to sadness,
Well sing with dear ones evermore,
In songs of JOY and gladness.

Descending from the exalted plane of
prophecy. Judge Owsley is pleased to
assume the role ofIjurist. and to ad-
judge that "by putting penalty on the
buyer as well as the seller of liquor, it
makes each of them incompetent to tes-
tify against the other. because neither
the seller nor the buyer can be made
before the court to give any informa-
ton which would ncriminate himself. +"
Before considering.the legal phase of
this point, it will not be amiss to note
the logical result to which. it tends. The
argument is that the buyer of liquor IL
legally sold should not be punished by
law because the seller could.not be re-
quired to testify against him. Would
Judge Owsley or.the public have the
Legislature to repeal the existing laws
on the subject ofidueling. mutual com
bats, gaming and all other crimes and
misdemeanorslwhich can not be COM
mitted except.-by the. concurrent acts
of not fewer than two parties And
yet the identical principle he invokes
applies to all these cases. There can
not be an illegal.sale.ofi liquors unless
there be purchaser. 1t is the act Of
the buyer which Emakes the business
profitable. If a.restraint be thrown on
the buyer, it necessarily affects the
business of thesseller.
III.
While it is fundamental law that no
one can be.required to testify against
himself, it is not the law that he may
not be forced to testify against anoth-
er, though his testimony may tend to
incriminate himself, if the Legislature
should provide that his-own testimony
against another shall not be used
against himself In the chapter of the
Kentucky Statutes against gaming, il
is expressly provided that ''in any pros
ecution for penalty against gaming,
it shall be.no exception for a witness
that his testimony may incriminate
himself; but nolsuch testimony shall bt
