Pres. Frederick W. Lehman OF the
American Bar Association in an ad-
dress before the members In annual
session said that the recently enacted
corporation tax has a significance far
beyond the revenue feature and that Is
the opening of the door for government
regulation OF large corporations, espec-
tally holding corporations. Mr.. Leh-
mann says that the days of the trust
are over. No sane man now advocates
defying the law by forming a trust.
But. from the ashes OF the trust mas
arisen the holding company, an agent
that performs the functions OF the
trust more thoroughly than the trust
itself. hut hoes il within the pale OF
the law. The claim that the combin-
ing OF businesses tends 70 cheaper pro-
ducts to the consumer is secuted by
the speaker He says that it's not a
habit OF the people 10 be altruistic in
such matters. The only way TO secure
reasonable rates and prices out Of these
huge corporations is through the a
gency Of governmental regulation by
having all the inside workings open to
pub ic view. This is partially attained
through the agency of the government
tax as the necessity for inspection OF
business through the collection Of this
tax will open everything to view.

Almost every other day there appears
an article either picking flaws in or
defending the new liquor law. The
chances are that the law is pretty
nearly o. k. Some few proviso's might
not stand the test of the supreme court
IL they were carried there and holly
contested. but who Is going TO do itI
In the main the law is good and all of
it was passed with good. intent It was
passed to supply the demand by the
people Of the state who got tired Of the
usurping of the saloon power. An
effort 70 destroy this eminently fair
law will only spur the people-to more
drastic action. The best thing that
the liquor dealers can do is to obey the
law and the advocates OF stricter re-.
gulations will do themselves and the
public much more good by causing the
enforcement OF this law than by
bounding the Legislature for more
laws

H|BERN|ANS CELEBRATE

East Chicago. Ind, March Is. - The
Aancient Order of Hibernians of East
Chicago are planning for an elaborate
celebration to be held the evening of
March 18th, St. Patrick's day. in the
Lewis rink The Hon. John J. Poul-
ton. member of the Illinois legislature
from South Chicago, will be the princi
pal speaker. The order was particular
ly fortunate in securing such an able
and eloquent orator for the occasion.
Mr.. Poulton is a lawyer of high class
and his recent overwhelming reelection
to the legislature after already serving
two terms. is ample evidence of the
high esteem in which his private and
political character is regarded by the
people Of his district.
Besides the address by the distin-
guished legislator. there will be many
other interesting features of enter
tainment during the evening, of which
complete program will be made pub
lie in a few days.

JURY TOOK
ONLY ONE
BALLOT
Walter O'Connell, Formerly
of Gary, Is Freed From
Charge of Murder and Re
leased From Custody Aft
er Two Trials.

Walter O'Connell is a free man. Aft
er being out for only half an hour
and, 1t is said. taking but one ballot,
the jury in the O'Connell murder case
at Valparaiso decided to acquit the
Miller man.
The unreIiability OF Mrs. Martha
in saving Walter O'Connell from con-
viction, Mrs. Paulson, the mother of
the illegitimate child, told conflicting
stories. and the members of the jury
did not feel that they could convict
the man on the testimony Of such a
woman
While Walter O'Connen was ac-
quilted. the case will be remembered
as one of the most revolving in the
history of the little town Of Miller.
The facts which were brought out in
the trial were sufficient to show that
there was something radically wrong.
The child was smothered. It's body
was wrapped in blankets and thrown
into a slough. An effort was made to
hire a man to bury 1t secretly. These
facts are known and while Walter
O'Connell has been exonerated by the
jury there will always remain the
question as to how the baby came by
its fate.
Prosecuting Attorney Charles Green
valid said this morning: 7 am satisfied
with the verdict. Considering the fact
that Mrs. Martha JauIsons testimony
was discredited time and again, | am
not at all surprised at the verdict.
Walter O'Conneu made good i'm
preston. He Is a clean-cut fellow
and 1t was hard to persuade the jury
that he should have been convicted
on the testimony OF a woman like Mrs
Paulson.''
Attorneys W J. McAleer, Ibach and
Cravens and George Bardon appeared
for the defendant, and Attorney Green
valid appeared for the state. Walter
OConnen did not state what would be
his plans for the future after he Sc
| cured his release.

PAWNS STOLEN PANTS
FOR WHITING BOOZE
Gary Boilermaker Comes to
Grief in the Standard
Oil City.

Whiting, Ind, March 10. Grover
Miller. a Gary boilermaker, who came
to Whiting on Thursday, was given
an unexpected trip to Crown Point yes
terday. with the pleasure of being
chaperoned by Chief of Police Patrick
Lawler.
Miller with three friends, went into
the Hub department store in One Hun
bred and Nineteenth street, where they
asked the proprietor to show them
some suits Several outfits We're shown
the men, but they said. when going
out, that it was not exactly what they
wanted. After they had gone Mr.. Mi
gatz set about to put the clothing back
in order, when he discovered one of
the pairs of trousers belonging to a
suit was gone.
He at once furnished the police with
a good description, and Officers En-
mel and Pinkerton started out on a
search.
1t was not long before they succeed
ed in locating the men in a saloon. The
trousers had already been pawned in
a saloon for drink.
The trio had been imbibing freely
and just about as the police entered
Girard's saloon they were threatening
to kill George Girard for refusing to
give them another drink.
Miller confessed that he was the one
who had stolen the trousers, and was
taken before Judge Jones. who bound
him over to the superior court in 500
bonds for petit larceny
Being unable to get the bonds. Miller
was taken to Crown Point to await
trial.
Miller is well known in Whiting, and
| is spoken of as having a good reputa-
ton. but loses control Of himself when
under the influence of liquor. 1t was
| during one of these spells that he
committed the crime which il is known
he never would have done were he him
self.

THE STATE CAPITOL.
Indianapolis. Ind. March 12.-Ad-
justant General Perry has discovered
that 1t will be necessary to reduce the
length of state annual encampment
Of the Indiana National Guard from
ten days to We days. because of the
lack Of money with which to pay the
expenses of a longer time. He says
that the companies Of the National
Guard have recently received so many
recruits that the number of men on the
rolls at this time is so large that the
amount of money at the command of
the authorities is not sufficient to pay
for ten days.
General Perry also says nothing can
be done toward enlisting the four
companies of negroes for the National
Guard, as is provided in the Basnett
bill which passed the legislature The
department has not sufficient money
with which to equip them and main
tain them, and for this reason no at
tention will be paid to the law. A
company of white men has been formed
at Connersville and there is not enough
money at hand even to equip this COM
pany, so 1t will not be mustered into
service. The appropriation by the leg
islature for the National Guard was
placed at $4,000. It costs $4,000 day
to run the state encampment
