For the first time President Taft
has exercised clemency by reducing
to n month the sentence of a year
in prison imposed by Judge Lands,
of Chicago, against Mrs. Marion
Gray, of Benton, Mich, for having
conducted a matrimonial agency. The
basis of executive interference was
that the prosecutor promised that If
she would destroy her lists and plead
guilty she would escape with a fine.

KNOCKED OUT BY
A FOUL TIP

With his right cheek stove in
from hard foul tip off the bat in
the last inning of the game in Rec
reation park yesterday, Fred Thorp
is inconsiderable agony at the Sa-
cred Heart hospital.
Thorp, a middle aged man, was
sitting in the bleachers and all was
excitement when, with the rapidity
of an arrow, batted foul ball came
on a line, striking Thorp in the
face. He fell from the bleachers,
unconscious, and DR.. J. C. Cunning
ham, who had just finished dress
ing Jack Burnett's injured hand,
worked fully 10 minutes to revive
him.
His upper jaw was badly frac-
tured. Had the ball been just a
trifle higher Thorp would likely
have been instantly killed.

lions are! The Arabic numericals
are rather limited for Newlands.
The queer thing about Newlands
Is that he is really a progressive.
Instead of standing and fighting
for things as they are, he stands
and fights for things as they ought
to be. Perhaps one reason for this
is to be found in the fact that he
was not born to wealth. AS boy
and as young man he had his
struggles, and his encounters with
hardship. However this may be,
his record will bear examination,
and while often he seemed to be
standing for academic remedies,
and the theoretical belief, he has
talked and voted for the change.
Another thing which should be
placed to Newland's credit. He is
not lazy; he works.

captured at 207 Bernarc street this
morning while trying to sell a

Laughlin gave his occupation as

he has loitered about the city for
some little time. He had a room in
a cheap lodging house, where he
had scarcely change of clothing

a common hobo.
He first went to a transfer office
at 207 Bernard street, telling those
there that he had a horse for sale.
One hundred dollars was the first
price he placed on the animal, but
was trying to cloes the deal at SIS

RESORT PROBLEM
HARD TO SOLVE

Though the police are conducting
a cleaning of the residence dis
tricts and of the more respectable
lodging houses and hotels through
out the city, forcing out the dis
reputable women, the prospects for
a new restricted district are still
hung up.
Owners of buildings, it is de-
clared, are holding up the leases
on Front avenue property to such
high figures that few of the parties
who wished to open resorts in this
district can reach them. The po
lice and other city officials will
stand for absolutely no cribs like
the old Main and Yale blocks and
are making it clearly understood
that inmates of the restricted
district shall not be charged ex
orbitant rates of rent.

ANOTHER SHOW
FOR WOMAN

Considering her case a pathetic
one. with four little children under
the age of eight years at home
without care in her absence, Judge
Mann continued the case of Mrs.
c. Lane, alleged shoplifter. for ~
days, yesterday afternoon. She
was allowed to go on her own
recognizance for that length of
time and her behavior during this
period will have a great deal of
bearing on her case finally.
According to her husbands state
ment, Mrs. Lane is believed to
have taken other small articles of
value before she was caught TAX

that, though she is not in need. she
could not resist the temptation to
take the stuff that caused her all
the trouble.

MAN IN THE SENATE CAN FRO
NOUNCE THE ABOVE FIGURE
AS EASILY AS MOST OF MS
CAN SAY "THiRTY CENTS.v
eY cILsoN GARDNER.

WASHINGTON, July 16.-When
it comes to dealing in large fig
ures, no man in public life can COM
pare with Francis G. Newlands,
senator from Nevada. Newlands is
a perfect Hercules in the welding
of the large denominations.
Listen to this: Gong Record D.
1892 only $77O, 100000 worth of
commodities slipped into this coun-
try over the tariff WALL
Please note the only"
Senator Newlands was speaking
seriously. He was deploring the
heavy tax on necessities resulting
from the tariff. Said he: 1.-The
total production in this country of
commodities covered by this tariff,
include in its dutiable list products
which aggregate in value thirteen
and a half billion dollars"
Gn figures that would look this
way: $13,50O,000. 100000
A moment later Newlands re-
marked that "the manufacturers of
this country have added to the cost
of production abroad, of a similar
quantity of commodities, $4,000
000, 000."
1t is seldom that Senator New
lands gets below billions, and he
has been known to run into 10
figures.
No matter what the subject up
for legislation, Senator Newlands
begins operations by taking a
financial birdseye view of the
whole affair, INCLUDING the sur
rounding country. He climbs up
into a rarified mental atmosphere,
from which the individual dollar
looks so small that it is only a
speck of sand, hundreds look like
pebbles, thousands are not more
than small rocks and millions are
hardly bigger than paving blocks.
In that way he gets perspective
on things. He has a wider and
probably a better financial Der
spective than any man in public
life. = =
All of which makes Newlands "a
unique man in American public
life. This habit of his of getting a
real broad perspective on legfslA-
ton is INDUCED in by no other
member of either branch of con-
gress. In fact, most members of
congress have worms eye viaw'
of legislation. They see things
only from the low, narrow points of
view of the little local interest. a

looking down on the legislative
world through his statistical field
glasses, and hearing him map Il, all
out in terms of millions. billions,

RACE FOR THE SOUTH POLE.

London, Sept. 13.-Two rival ant
arctic expeditions, one American and
the other British, will dash for the
South Pole, straining every nerve for
the honor of placing their respective
flags upon the coveted goal at the
southernmost spot on the eLrth.
The first call for funds to make up
a 100000 subscription list was is
sued here to-day by Capt. Robt. G..
Scott, of the Discovery expedition,
and simultaneously with stirring ed
itorials in the English press, calling
for patriotic compliance, came a ca
blegram from Sydney, B. c., in which
Herbert l.. Bridgeman, secretary of
Peary Arctic Club, confirmed the
report that Commander Robert E.
Peary will organize an expedition
during the coming winter to make a
dash next spring for the South Pole.
Great Britain, stimulated by the
success of Peary at the North Pole,
is aroused to-day to a pitch Of en-
thusiasm seldom seen out OF war
times.
