BEN S. LEE
Writ of Habeas Corpus-A Construc-
ton of Law.

An interesting contention IS in pro-
gress in the District Court, Judge T. F.
Bell, involving the construction of law.
The pleading is on a writ of habeas cor
pus, designed to secure the release of
Ben S. Lee from further service on the
PUBLIC roads.
On his plea of guilty of obtaining
money, in this case $3o3, by false pre-
lenses from Herman Loeb, by whom he
was employed, he was sentenced to
twelve months on the public roads. He
has served six months of this sentence
beginning from May T. 1909. Since his
assignment on the public road, Lieu
tenant Governor Lambremont and At
torney General Guion have considered
his application for a pardon they ac-
cordingly recommended that at the ex-
piration of his six months term of serv-
ice, he be pardoned, and that his rights
of citizenship be restored to him. How
ever, he is still held in durance vile and
| lllG iEdJItiS NOI liOS&SSIl5 - ~ S'SSetA =
his release. Lee is represented by Hon.
! John D. Wilkinson, who in his petition
AYERS that he is detained without war
rant of law and against his will. Mr..
Wilkinson's contention is that the SEN
tence of twelve months imposed by the
court was greater than is warranted by
the Constitution of the State, and that
lhaving completed the term of service OF
tsfx months, that Lee should be released.
The opposite contention was argued
by District Attorney Foster, and from
his construction of the law means thai
when the Judge has actually sentenced
a person to the penitentiary for tern
less than six months that he may sen.
Itence him to work that sentence on {
lpublic road.
In palmer words it is held that th'
Judge is justified in his sentence O
| II months as applied to Lee in this case
! This may be one of the fine points o
law which Judge Bell must ttnravel.

BULLETIN
FORECAST OF STORMS TO CROSS
THE CONTINENT.
THE NEXT DISTURBANCE
Is Expected To Be Moderate-Its Prin-
cipal Effect Being to Start the Tenn
perature Upward then Followed by a
Cold Wave.

(Copyrighted 1900 by W. T. Foster.)
Washington, d. c., Nov I3-Last
bulletin gave forecasts of disturbance to
cross the continent II to 2I, warm wave
16 to 20, cool wave 10 to 20. This is
expected to be moderate disturbance,
its principal effect being to start the
temperatures upward and they will con-
tinue to go higher from I8 to 70, except
one moderate cold wave. During that
eight days not much precipitation.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about ~, cross Pacific slope by
close of 23, great central valleys "a to
26, eastern states and provinces ~.
Warm wave will cross Pacific slope
about 2z, great central valleys "a, east
ern states and provinces 26. Cool wave
will cross Pacific slope about IS, great
central valleys 27, eastern states and
provinces 20.
This will be the most severe disturb
ance of the month. The warm wave
will cause excessively hot weather but
| it will be of short duration. A cold
wave will occur following 26 with a
great fall in temperature. These winter
storms will be severe. All kinds of
weather that sometimes comes in the
closing days of November may be ex-
pected during the seven days ~ to %.
Snowfalls will come. with this cool
wave in northern states and cold rains
III the south. Where locations are not
specifically mentioned in these forecasts
the dates are for meridian 90 and you
lmust allow a day or more for east OF
/ that line and as much earlier for west
of It. About and following November
la cold and stormy weather is expected
on most parts of the continent with q
wave of very cold weather crossing the
continent, reaching meridian 90 about
November 18.

TWELVE YEARS
At Hard Labor in the Penitentiary for
Ingram.

As the result of heavy sentence
which Judge Joshua G. Baker imposed
on Wyatt Fl. Ingram Jr., Friday the
case of that convicted bank officer will
find its way into the Suprems Court.
Ingran1's lawyers have been granted fif-
teen days time within which to take
the case before the courtsof last resort,
says the New Orleans States
Ingram was sentenced to serve twelve
years at hard labor. He was given
years on the first count of the indiet-
ment on which he was convicted, and
he was given Two years on the second
count The sentence was made to run
concurrent1y, however, 50 that it means
twelve years all told.
Messrs. Lionel Adams and Richard
b. Otero fled their motion for new
trial Friday morning when the case was
called. It had been submitted to Judge
Baker before and contained nothing
outside the points covered in the bills
Of exceptions. The court promptly
oyerruled the motion. There was no ar
gument. Sentence was then passed.
Ingram heard the term of years pro
nounced without flinching. If he ex-
pected a lighter term he did not give
any signs of disappointment

FoolkiIIer Needed.

Even Washington does not escape
the tom-foolery that attends freak
clubs. There was an organization here
called the "Merrymaker whose mem-
bers seem to be banded together to
make life miserable each for the other
thru practical joking. When any MEN,
ber of the club marries is the duty of
all the other members to concoct all
the practical jokes possible and perpe-
trate them on the man who would mar
ry and the girl who would be fool
enough to marry a man with freak
mind like that. There was a marriage
here the other day, the high contract
ing parties" being people of means and
education. The whole wedding scheme
was nightmare. 1t was a church
wedding. A fine carriage was ordered
for the bridal party. Instead they
found that the fool "Merrymakers" had
ordered a coal cart. Just a common
two-wheeied coal cart with d board to
sit on.
They sat upright in the coal cart on
a hard board seat and looked at the
stars and the moon. and, incidentally.
at 1900 men and boys and two or three
dogs while a negro driver guided the
mule thru the streets. The crowd got
bigger as the coal cart and the mule
and the bride and bridegroom proceed
ed on their way.
Inc uSnerS, VINO had done noDiy IN
the church. were given position of
favor. They were allowed to trail
along behind the coal cart, each at the
end of ribbon. And all they lad 10
do to keep their jobs were to blow
horns and shout, SO -aS to attract a
crowd. They earned a splendid reputa-
tion as expert noise-makers. Everybody
within hearing distance responded to
the confusion. and the mule. once or
twice, showed signs of becoming fright
ened. He was thoroly disgusted when
the station was reached.
What We need is 'fool-kiIIer'' and
he will begin with such abnormal
tiles as people who reveI in making
other people unhappy. uncomfortable
and ridiculous. There is neither wit
nor humor in the customs which hurt
the feelings of any one. It is simply
