Walks Into Jail.
Detroit, Aug. 12.-After the police
had searched for him all day in con-
nectiOn with the murder of Mrs.
Martha Callahan, Gus Oblaser, early
today walked up to the county jail
and surrendered.
He was locked up, denied to all
newspaper men or other callers and
the jailers would only say that he is
being held as a suspect.
Callahan says that, Oblaser seemed
to have a hypnotic influence over the
woman.
The police also are holding Joseph
MosinslSi, an alleged pal of Oblaser.
A further examination OF the body
has shown that death undoubtedly was
caused by strangulation.
No less than thirty-six finger prints
have been found ON the woman's
throat.

the big noise in the telephone company

Organization to hold up its patrons for
a paid-in advance scheme has aroused
considerable opposition. Some OF the

county political worker isn't a trihe
grasping The WilIiston Herald says:
The matter of the telephone rates
was brought up at the meeting of the
| city council last week and from the
sentiment of the city council there is
very liable TO be an ordinance drawn
and put into effect and force prohibit
ing the company from charging the
excess or penalty of so cents, q new
ruling the company has put into power
lately. The sentiment appeared to be
very much against the company charg-
Il ing a penalty of 90 cents If the phone
| rents are not paid in advance. Had
1.-THE company placed the penalty
against the subscribers provided they
did not pay their rents before the fif-
Iteenth Of the month following the rul-
ling would have been in good taste and
proper, but this idea of charging a
man a penalty because 1t is not paid
before 1t is due, is putting 1t pretty
strong and the subscribers to the
phone company are justly indignant
over the matter. AS a matter of busi-
ness the world over, the business man
is indeed satisfied when he can get his
money as soon as he has earned 1t and
very few are so strong that they wish
to grab a fellow for not paying in ad-
vance. 1t is earnestly hoped that the
city council will take some action to
force the company to reconsider the
ruling they have so recently made
Their rates are plenty high that they
don't need to charge extra for not pay
ing in advance.

The Montana plaindealer. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1906-1911, 1909-06-18

A well known lawyer is telling a
good story about himself and his eff
forts to correct the tanner of his
office boy. One morning not long
ago the youngster, tossing his cap at
a hook, exclaimed:
$50, Mr.. Blank, there a ball
game down at the park today, and
I'm going"
Now, the attorney is not a hard
hearted man, and was willing the
boy should go, but thought he would
teach him a little lesson in good
manners.
"Jimmie," he said, ''that ism t the
way to ask a favor. Now, you come
over here and sit down, and III
show you how to do it."
The boy took the Office chair and
his employer picked up his cap and
stepped outside. He then opened
the door softly, and, holding the cap
in his hand, said quietly to the small
boy in the big chair:
"Please, sir, there is a ball game
at the park today; if you can spare
me I would like to get away for the
afternoon
In a flash the boy responded:
"Why, certainly, Jimmie; and here
is so cents to pay your way in"

w-AsHINGToN's NEW CODE.
Many Complications Surely to Arise
Over New Laws.

Advocates of anarchy, defined as a
doctrine that organized government
should be overthrow by force of VIC
lence OF the assassination of the execu-
tive head or any of the executive Off
cials of government or by any unlaw-
full means, must carefully edit their
mouth-flling phrases for public utter
ances in the state of Washington, if
they desire to keep clear of prison
cells. The new criminal code, now in
operation, designates the espousal of
the doctrine a felony, punishable by
Imprisonment in the penitentiary for
any period up to 10 years.
There are numerous important
changes in the law, including the aboli-
ton of the compulsory death sentence
for murder in the first degree and
giving the court discretionary power
to sentence to Imprisonment for life.
There is also the establishment of a
new degree of crimes known as gross
misdemeanors, which includes graft
ing" punishable by Imprisonment in
the county Jail for not more than a
year or a fine up to $1,000, or both.
Insanity is no defense in criminal
cases; but it is provided that when, in
the judgment of the court, any person
convicted shall have been insane, an
idiot or an imbecile at the time of the
commission of the act, he may be com
mitted to a hospital for the insane or
to the insane ward of the penitentiary
until he has recovered.
The code forbids Clipping" and
having possession of cigarettes OF
papers, and, though it is specified that
"every provision shall be construed
according to the fair import of its
terms" the foremost criminal lawyers
in the state declare it will cause much
confusion and in numerous instances
it will compel good citizens to become
lawbreakers.

PRESIDENT TAFT GETS A s.T1P.,
How to Make Interstate Commerce Law
Just.

JuSGs
Attorney H. NJ. Stephens, represent.
ing shippers of interior cities. accom-.
panied by Senator Jones and Repre-
sentative Poindexter, had a five minute
talk with President Taft recently, and
Mr.. Stephens presented suggestions rel.
alive to amendments to the interstate
commerce law.
President Taft listened ~attentively to
Mr.. Stephens, and at the conclusion of
his remarks said it would greatly please
him to have the entire subject presented
at greater length in November.
Briefly, Mr.. Stephens argument
would be to put the shipper on a par
with railroad companies in their given
right of appeal to circuit courts over
decisions of the interstate commerce
commission affecting rates.
AS the law now stands railroad com
panies can go into the courts of the
United States and ask for an injunc-
ton against orders of the commission.
The shipper is denied this right. In
principle it is contended there can be
no possible difference between shipper
and common carrier, and it is to put
both upon a square and equal basis
that Stephens contends.
