Defeat Justices End.

inquest to-day, the undertaken and
morgue keeper when grilled BY the de-
fense's attorney, admitted the use Of

could not approach the body. It il
thought the defense will attempt to show

the reply. "But l have even
more respect for the welfare of
90,000,000 people of this coun-
try. The President sends the
Congress a railroad regulation
bill which the best authorities
say absolutely annuls the Sher-
man antitrust law, which is the
only safe guard the people now
have against the combining of
the big railroads. Along with
this bill comes the ultimatum that
our vote on the measure will be
considered a test of our Republi-
canism. w e are desirous of
showing all proper respect for
the President, but as between
serving our conscience or the
President, we are put to the
painful necessity Of forsaking
the President temporarily and of
voting against his railroad bill. "
The recently "reformed"H House
Committee on Rules is proving to
be as secure a catacomb for pro-
posed legislation antagonized by
the special interests as was the
old Rules committee of which
Speaker Cannon was chairman.
Not a single resolution which
might adversely affect unlawful
combinations such as the sugar
trust has been reported favora-
bly, by the new committee. Can
non dominates the reformed body
just as effectively as he did the
old Rules committee, So far as
practical results are concerned,
it is difficult to see what the COM
mon people gained by the en-
larging of the committee and the
elimination of the Speaker.

She was a woman, worn and

for a single thing. They cast
her out of the kings highway,
and passed her by as they went
to pray. He was man and

spared him a breath of shame.
Beneath his feet he saw her lie.
but he raised his head and passed
her by. They were the people
who went to pray at the temple
of God on the Holy day. They
scorned the woman, forgave the
men; twas ever thus since the
world began. Time passed on
the woman died; on cross of
shame she was crucified. The
world was stern, and would not
yield, and they buried her in the
potters field. The man died too,
and they buried him in a casket
of cloth with a silver brim, and
said as they turned away. 1--WE
have buried a noble man today"

Potatoes are an excellent feed
for all kinds of hogs and when
they are as cheap as they are
this year in some localities, they
may be fed with profit. Tests
of their feeding value for fatten-
ing hogs have shown on the
average that a or 5 pounds Of
potatoes equals pound of corn.
Brood sows do we'll on potatoes
either before or after farrowing.
For them as for fattening hogs
or pigs it is best to boil the
potatoes and feed some grain
along with them. About 20
pounds of grain to a bushel of
potatoes makes a combination
that appears to satisfy the ap-
petites of the hogs and produces
excellent results. The cooked
potatoes are mashed and mixed
with whatever ground grain or
shorts that is fed. One should
avoid making the slop very thin
or the hogs will be forced to
take in more water than they
naturally would drink. Thi S
would not affect them seriously,
but it is not desirable. The po-
tatoes are especially beneficial
for brood sows because of. their
bulk and their mildly laxative
effect.

Two Murder Mysteries Solved


tablished the famous dead line
for crooks and how he instituted
the third degree in worming con-
'fessions from suspected crimi-
nails, is told Interestingly in an
article in the New York Herald
of Sunday. The dramatic way in
which he solved two murders is
told also in the following article:
The metropolis teemed with
criminals, chief among whom were
those aristocrats of theft, the
bank burglars. The safes of
those days were formidable
enough in appearance, but they
lacked the numerous contrivances
and checks of the present day.
The city was not so we'll lighted
as it now is, and the police force
was inconsiderable as compared
with the army which is now on
guard. The ferries were infest-
ed by bunco men, green goods
operators and the like, and many
were on terms of easy familiarity
with small politicians. W all
street was alive with sneak
thieves and burglars seeking
plunder, while Maiden lane was
periodically piliaged Of plate and
jewels.
Inspector Byrnes first estab-
lished a branch of the Detective
Bureau in a little room in Wall
street building, paying the rent
out of his own pocket. He then,
through General Brayten Ives,
asked that the Stock Exchange
give quarters for his men under
it's roof, which was accordingly
done. The arrangement was
most satisfactory, for by wire
practically every bank or impor-
tant brokers' office in the district
was connected with the bureau.
In this connection the order
was given by the inspector that
any man with criminal record
seen south of Maiden lane should
be arrested, and the instructions
were so literally carried out that
the Dead Line" proved an
effectual barrier. In Wall street
he met Jay Gould, who laid the
foundation of his fortune.
The reorganization of t h e
bureau in Mulberry sire t.
brought a galaxy of detective
talent, trained after the manner
of Byrnes. Those were the days
when such men as Inspectors
Schmittberger and McLauglin
and many others were winning
their records.
The criminal classes were ruled
partly by fear, partly by intima-
tions of leniency for information
given. They were afraid of the
Inspector, for he had a faculty of
keeping watch over all their
movements and often he was in
formed of their secret councils.
He knew where they all belong
ed, their hates and their attach
ments, and with a skill which
probably has never been equalled
he balanced one evildoer against
another.
The bank burglar was practi-
cally exterminated in his day.
The sawdust men,, the green
goods manipulators and the gen.
try who lived by confidence and
who had been working boldly,
were driven to cover and the

From Washington.
(By Tavenner)
News Correspondence.

The Democrats, assisted by a
handful of fighting progressive
Republicans, have forced the ad-
ministration to abandon some of
the worst o f the corporation
serving clauses placed in the
railroad regulation bill by attor-
ney General Wickersham.
Wickersham framed this bill
after a conference with six rail-
road presidents. Wall street
knew long in advance of the pub
lie appearance Of the bill that it
would be so drawn as to annul
the Sherman antitrust law.
Railroad interests bought a n d
sold stock on the strength of
their advanced information.
Had the railroad regulation bill
become a law as prepared b y
Wickersham, it would have prac-
tically destroyed all that has been
accomplished in the last twenty
years to give the government
some measure Of control over the
railroads of the country.
No Attorney General of the
United States has ever been re-
vealed in just the position Mr..
Wickersham now occupies.
Instead of having drawn a bill
that would tend to place greater
safeguards about the rights of
the people of the United States,
as might naturally be expected
from public officer who is re-
ceiving salary on the assump-
tion that he is giving such pro-
lection to the people. Wicker
sham has been charged on the
floor of the Senate with having
attempted to take from the
masses even such inadequate
safeguards as they now enjoy,
while at the same time giving
the corporate interests the right
to merge and do other things
that the Sherman law has for
hidden them from doing.
At the time of Wickersham's
appointment it was asserted that
he had been selected by Presi-
dent in Difference to the wishes
of the corporations of the coun-
try, who had spent money and
coerced workingmen to vote the
Republican ticket, and who de-
manded as compensation for
this service the privilege of
naming the Attorney General
The unusual interest of spec
ial privilege in this office may
be realized at full value when it
is understood that the Attorney
General is in absolute charge Of
the prosecuting machinery of the
government.
Whether Wickersham's a p
pointment really was the result
of a prediction arrangement or
not, the trusts have had no oc-
casion to be dissatisfied with the
Presidents selection. Whenever
the rights of the people and
special privilege come into con-
fiict, Mr.. Wickersham decides
favorably to the corporate inter-
ests and against the people. This
is what the records of his office
show.
President Taft has reached the
conclusion the progressivness are
bad, bad men. He complains

Twenty-sixth street. He was
shot in 1882 at the head of the
stairs on which he was decend-
ing to the lower floor, which had
been wrecked by a band of
ruffians.
The inspector enlisted the SER
vices of a woman to keep track
of Michael E. McGloin, one of q
band of young desperadoes
known as the Seventh Avenue
Gang" and he also obtained in
formation concerning tn e.
others whom he believed to be
implicated. All the quartet were
so taken that no one knew of the
others arrest.
The Inspector had McGloin
taken into his private room and
so placed the chairs that the
prisoner would be looking out of
the window into the court yard.
AS the Inspector and he were
talking a man entered the room
and laid down on the desk the
pistol with which the French
innkeeper had been killed. The
Inspector looked at it in a casual
way, referred to it as the weapon
which had been used by the mur-
derers and asked McGloin if he
had ever seen it before.
The prisoner, although the
sight of the weapon had un-
nerved him, tried to keep up an
air of concern, although the in
spector already had caught the
expression of momentary dismay
on his face. Then, calmly smok-
ing a cigar, the chief of detec-
tives referred in a matter of fact
way to three men, all Of whom
had seen the murder, for they
had said so.
Then, in the court yard walk
ing between two policemen,
marching first one and then
another of McGloin's intimates.
The prisoner fell on his knees
before the inspector and confess
ed that he and others had gone
to wreck the saloon because it's
proprietor refused to be taken in
by a film fam game, and that he
had fired on him, intending only
to scare him. McGloin was ex-
ecuted and the other three men
were sent to prison.
Tactics still more dramatic
were employed in the case of
Unger, suspected of killing and
dismembering his roommate.
named Bohles, and of then ship
ping his body from Brooklyn to
Baltimore. Unger was taken to
police headquarters, where he
was put casually into a cell which
had been furnished with the
blood stained appointments of
the room in which the murder
had been committed. He fell to
the floor from the stained bed on
which he had been forced to sit
confessed the crime.
Many a time was the third de-
gree worked in the time of In
spector Byrnes, it's chief factor
being the conscience of the man
played upon by the shrewd and
forceful mind of the master de-
tective. Fiction and the drama
since have made use of the third
degree as a theme, but to the in
spector it was regarded as a
means to an end and in his hands
