INNOCENT OF CRIME ACCUSED OF
Was In Omaha Jail at Time the Of
Tense for which He Was Con-
victed was Committed in
Georgia.

You've heard Of tina, blood -tingling melo-
drama, Too Proud TO Beg" well. here is
a mate TO It.
j. II. Davis, a Nebraska man has been
sentenced to a term of seven years in the
Georgia p~enitentiary for a crime Of which
he Is innocent.
The charge against Davis is forging a
United States postal order and obtaining
the money thereon. He was arrested. tried
and convicted and sentenced at Atlanta,
Ga, In April for the crime. which II 10
alleged was committed December %. 1908.
At the time Of tho alleged commission Of
the crime. Davis was a federal prisoner in
the Douglas county jall, under Indictment
for using the mails for the purposes to
defraud. The charge against him was for
advertising for agents Of different descrip-
lions and requiring them to put up a little
advance money TO be assured Of the Jobs.
He was arrested in Omaha in September
by the United States authorities and was
later indicted. He entered a riea OF guilty
October 81. 1eOs, and asked that his sentence
be so made that 1t would terminate on
January 1. 1909, as ne then intended to turn
over r new leaf Nudge W. H.. Munger
accepted the plea and passed sentence sc-
cordlnSly. Davis was fthereupon released
from tail on January I, 1903.
Meets Homer Morris.
While in Jail he. became acquainted with
Homer Morris. who is still in the Douglas
county Jail awaiting trial in the federal
courts for robbery OF the Walthill, Neb.,
postoffice. Davis and Morris became great
chums, and II appears that Davis, deluded
himself into the belief that he was as
ISOLATED with Morris in the Walthill rob-
berry, q delusion, wholly.
Upon his release from jail, Davis re-
mained about Omaha for several days ard
then vent south. His former home was in
Mississippi and ne is a member of a prom
inent family In that state, his name OF
Davis being an alias.
Davis went to work early in the spring
In Atlanta and, being comparatively UNI
known there, was arrested on the forged
money order charge. He was too proud
TO let his people know of his trouble and
only after he was sentenced to seven years
in the penitentiary did he make himself
known TO them.
He endeavored, to put up an alibi and in
this effort declared that he was wanted
in Nebraska for the walthilI postoffice
robbery and that he was in the Douglas
county iaifin Omaha In December. when
the alleged money order forgery was com
ygxs NethipE TO IL.
Word was sent to Omaha to ascertain
whether he was wanted here for the
Walthil affair and a negative reply was
sent. e9#'af - ~
This was taken as an evidence that the
allbi had failed and so Davis was sent
to the Georgia penltentiary. His people.
in the meanThiei knowing that he could
prove an alfbi, sent Representative to
Omaha "a Few days ago 10 make the neces-
sary Inquiries and the results established

JOB PRINTER
UNCLE SAM HUSTLlNG FOR
THE BUSINESS OF PRINTING
NAMES AND ADDRESSES ON
THE ENVELOPES,

Uncle Sam needs the money and
has done what successful business
men have to do-has begun to ad-
vertise bargain sales.
A little pocket folder, prepared
in the most up to date advertis-
ing manner, has been issued by A..
l.. Lawshe, third assistant post
master general. Copies of these
have been sent to every postoffice
in the country and are being dis
tributed to box patrons and others.
The booklets are designed to ad-
vertise the advantages of buying
stamped envelopes from the gov
eminent instead of buying envel-
opes from private manufacturers.
The legend on the first page of the
booklet says:
Everyone who uses government
stamped envelopes is aiding the
postofflce department in improving
the service"
On the back page of the folder
are given the bargain prices for
the different sizes of stamped en-
velopes.
The folder announces name and
address Of sender will be printed

KING SOLOMON
GETS SAVED ]
NOTED FORTUNE TELLER CON-
FESSES LIFE OF TRICkERY
AS RESULT OF CONVERSION
AT NEGRO REVEALS.

King Solomon got saved last
night. From coast to coast he is
known under this title as a for
tune teller and general mystery
reader, but after protesting re-
ligion id the Calvary Baptist
church of this city last night, he
confessed enough fraud and trick
cry to put the whole fortune telling
trade out of commission. King
Solomon made a clean breast of
fakery, admitted his faults and an
nounced his determination to lead
a Christian life hereafter. He had
presumably come to Spokane to
follow his easy money" profess
sion here, but went to the negro
revival instead and that changed
his plans entirely.
A characteristic negro demon
tration attended the services, I'M
doubtedly the greatest of the kind
ever witnessed in this city. Men
sang, women wept and shouted and
the entire congregation responded
to the prevailing religious in
fluence of the meeting. 1t was
scene seldom witnessed except in
the south.
The outpouring and conversion
of King Solomon followed a power
full sermon by Rev. J. Gordon Nc
Pherson and another by Mrs. D. r.
Coates, with a song service of
southern religious melody. A num-
Der of seekers of both sexes crowd
ed forward to the altar.
There will be no services to-
night, but they will be resumed ON
Sunday as follows:
Preaching by Rev. ]. Gordon
Mcpherson at 1890, "Ye Must Be-
Born Again; address to young
people at 2:30 by Rev. E. E. Sims
of Muskogee, Okla, with special

CURES ECZEMA QUICKLY
New Drug, Poslam, Now Obtain

New Drug, Poslam, Now Obtain
able In Small Quantities.
Since its discovery one year ago
the new drug, poslam, has success
fully cured thousands of chronic
cases of eczema and other distress
ing skin Affections. Heretofore
poslam has been dispensed solely
for the benefit of eczema patients
in large jars sufficient for a
months treatment. This was found
to he an inconvenience to many
thousands who use it for minor
skin troubles, such as pimples,
blackheads, herpes, acne, scaly
scalp, complexion blemishes, itch
ing feet, piles, etc. which require
but a small quantity to cure. To
overcome this, and in response to
urgent appeals. the dispensers of
poslam have been obliged to adopt,
in addition to the regular two-dol-
lar packages. a special fifty-cent
size, which in future may be found
on sale at Murgittroyd's and Rit-
ter's drug stores, and other lead
ing drug stores in Spokane, or
may be ordered direct from the
Emergency Laboratories, No. 80
West 25th street, New York City.
In all eczema cases poslam stops
itching with first application, and
proceeds to heal Immediately;
chronic cases being cured in two
weeks In less serious skin trou-
bles, results are seen after an
overnight application.
Samples for experimental pur-
poses may still be had, free of
charge. by writing to the labora-
tories for them.

Special Correspondence to The Press I
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. IS.


Will the Robbins nest again?
Well some say they will and
some say they won't. Some say
they should and some say they
shouldn't. Some say they never
should have nestled at all, and
some say it was nobody's business
but their own and that they are a
lot wiser than most.
The Robbins? Why, they're not
saying anything except thai they
have found the secret of true hap
piness.
You see the Robbins nested once.
No, of course, they are not real
birds. Just the same they nestled
without any more fuss and non
sense than does Mr.. Robin when
he thinks he finds his mate. They
didn't have any wedding. They just
made verbal agreement to live
together in peace and happiness
for five years and that ended it.
That was five years ago. A few
days ago, according to agreement,
they abandoned the nest. They
said that it was just the termina-
ton of the contract, the happy end
of a very successful trial mar
riage.
Mrs. Robbins, young, pretty, pc
tite, says there is nothing to be
disturbed about. She helps her for
mer-shall we say 'husband?"-
run a vegetarian restaurant and
when you ask her whether they are
going to draw up another contract
all she will say is that depends"
She is not at all reticent, however,
in declaring her conviction that
the trial marriage is the real,
nickel-plate route to marital bliss
1T is this way explained Mrs
Robbins to a representative of The
Press. I'VE did not marry as most
other people do, simply because we
do not believe in hypocrisy and
lies. Yes" she continued in an
swer to a look of surprise, mar
riage today is nothing more than
hypocrisy. Most couples go through
the ceremony without giving it a
thought. They hear few lying
words mumbled over them and
then for the woman there is no
release from her slavery-yes, |
said slavery-save through the
scandal of the divorce courts For
the rest of her life she is not per-
mitted, so long as she endures the
ignomy of the marriage bond. to
hold up her head as mans equal.
Every human being should have
the right to take care of itself.
Modern marriage bars woman
from that right.
THE remedy is the trial mar
riage. Trial marriage offers a dig
nifled, moral and sensible way for
man and woman to find their right
full mates. Where man and woman
are perfectly mated, there can be
no unhappiness, no slavery on the
woman's part, no home-wrecking,
no hypocritical taking of oaths, no
scandal of divorce court.
Children? No, we have none.
But If we had we would share
equally in their support. If either
should enter into a trial marriage
with any other person, the support
OF any children we might have had
would be decided by agreement.
Trial marriage children would be
no different than any other kind.

.nent by Assistant Corporation Counsel
Weadock. Monday, In regard to the
Family theater Weadock quoted the

should be licensed at 500 instead OF
being a purely moving picture show.
which is taxed but $50 per year.
The ordinance reads: "All opera
houses or playhouses where theatrical.

vile. or burlesque shows are given
shall be licensed at 500 per year"
That really may be made to In
clude all the picture shows" said Po.
lice Secretary Walters, Tuesday.
"Snch license fee would be unfair TO
the smaller ones, however, and so the
police department has adopted the
rule that all houses which seat 400 or
more are theaters and licensed at slice,
while those which seat less are NOV

There was quick counting OF sew
