STEALING OF A BICYCLE
BY A YOUNG MAN

Joe Thompson, charged with the
theft OF bicycle, did not attempt TO
organize any local Ananias club in
police court this morning. but he did
show, throughout his testimony, an
aptitude for wholesale fabrication
which should entitle him to a front
seat with the habitual police court
stringers."
Joseph Madison, employed at Black
man & Grifitns, stated that he had
left his wheel outside over night and
by morning 1t had disappeared He
identified a wheel produced as ey-
idence as the one which belonged TO
him
Second hand Dealer Alvord identi-
fed the wheel as one which Joe had
attempted to sell him. He stated that
the fellow had offered 10 let him have
the bicycle for the sum of So Upon
questioning him about its pedigree.
Joe could give no explanation which
seemed plausible and the secondhand
man decided to call up the police
During the slight intermlssion Joe ev-
identity received a hurry.up call from
some other quarter of the city and left
lIulueuldlely
Desk Sergeant Critchlow testified
that he happened to be near with his
wheel and proceeded 10 give chase to
the fellow and finally stopped him
Joe's assertions about the wheel did
not sound truthful and he was brought
TO the station where he was asked for
examples Of his handwriting He pre-
tended to be "left-handed" and talk
ing the pencil proceeded to give an
exhibition of "south-paw" penman-
ship which was very good indeed.
When asked to give his version Of
the story, the defendant took the
stand and for half an hour defied the
prosecution to do its worst, The evil
dence. however. was all against him
and the court did not hesitate in Civ
ing him a straight sentence Of 40
days on the rock pile, In dispos!ng
OF the case the Judge stated that the
young man was apparently on his way
to the penitentiary and a few more
acts of petty thieyery would surely
land him there Thompson stated
that he was 90 years of age and had
recently been discharged from the
marine service in the east for drunk
enness and disobedience

with headquarters at Ogden, has re-
turned from Pocatello. where he went
TO investigate a quarrel between mem
berS OF dining car crew that result
ed in the shooting and killing OF Wait
er Gus Travis by an officer OF the
Idaho metropolis.
Evidence adduced at the coroner's
inquest brought out the fact that sew
eral employees of a dining car were
engaged in brawl when an officer at
tempted to Quell the row and arrest
the participants In the struggle the
policeman pulled a gun TO knock Chef
Thompson down, when Travis inter-
fered to prevent the arrest of the bel
ligerent cook The officer attempted
to strike Travis and. in the mix-up,
the gun was accidentally discharged
and Travis was killed.
verdict along those lines was rem
dered by the coroner's jury and neith-
er the policeman nor Chef Thompson
were held responsible, both being dis
charged from custody.
II Is understood the colored Elks Of
Ogden have taken charge Of Travis
remains and will forward the body to
his mother, who resides at Vancouver.
While the trouble and killing is
deplored by dining car officials in this
city. II was one of those incidents re-
sulting from too much bad whisky
while the dining car crew was of duty
and no one is held responsible for the
quarrel resulting in Travis death

supposed to be worth one million dol
lars. She declared they were but clev-

fiftieth the estimated amount. Every
known test was applied and eventual
ly her statement was affirmed.
The most expert dealers were en-
ployed by the United States govern
ment to make this test and the only
way they discovered the truth was by
the weight. Shortly afterwards we Sc
cured the right to the Lucios diamonds
in this country. and our success in
their sale has been enormous.
Diamonds that fool government en-

deceive anybody else. And countless

THE INCORPORATION
OF TRUSTS.

In a sane argument for the Federal
incorporation of Trusts, in the Allan.
tic, the author says this does not nee.
essarily mean either federal license
or federal regulation for interstate
corporations; it does not mean an eX-
tension of federal government, though
it may mean an exercise of the re-
strictive power of the federal Con-
gress. Federal government is not
necessary IL the federal power can be
used to attack directly and logically
the real evil, the abused power of one
state to license an irresponsible cor
pOration to do business in other states.
The simplest course is sometimes so
simple and so direct that, in our con-
fusion or timidity in an important
matter, we try to V ak around it. The
remedial federal law should be sim
pie and effective attack on the actual
abuse; it should be a self-operating
and effective prohibiting law, stating
in detail the conditions of incorpora-
ton, management, and governing
laws, necessary to enable corpora
tion to depart from the state of its
birth to engage in interstate COM
mercc, prescribing adequate penalties
and making void and unenforcible by
a corporation any contract made in
violation of its provisions.
