er Chicago man who had the
temerity to sell Franklin MacVeagh,
secretary of the treasury, barrel of
bogus vinegar. Macveagh bought the
vinegar believing 1t was the real

that sort of thing.
The looks and smell Of the stuff
made him suspicious, and SO he hal
looed for the pure food inspectors
to come and examine. They reported
the alleged vinegar was In reality
adulterated and artificially colored

storekeeper and he was taken into

In the meantime the Emergency hos

the crowd to get at the supposed dead

The PROSTATE figure slowly arose, dis
closing the stalwart form of negro.
| He gazed in astonishment at the
crowd that blocked up the entrance to
the alley and saw the policeman and
white-coated Emergency surgeon ell
bowling their way toward him. With
a yawn and a stretch of his arms, the
negro darted into the side door of a
printing office, slamming the door be-
hind him.
Investigation disclosed the fact that
the negro has been employed at the
printing establishment number OF
years. He said he was tired and went
out into the quiet, cool alleyway to
take nap during the lunch hour.
That was all.

Uncle Sam Probes Third Degree System

prosecuted DR.. Perrin, one of the de-
fendants in certain iand-fraud cases,
who, after being indicted, was finally
discharged for want of evidence.
A special agent of the department
of justice sent out to investigate the
charge made written report that DR..
Perrin should never have been In
dicted; that improper methods were
employed to bring about his indict-
ment, and even after the government
officers were aware that they could
not make case against DR.. Perrin,
the indictment was allowed to hang
over his head for many months, to his
great personal detriment.
The methods Of Francis j. Heney
and Detective Burns may be inquired
into, and 1t Is not unlikely that some
attention may be given to the charge
made against the method of admins
tering the criminal laws in Alaska,
especially at Juneau. where the
United States attorney and United
States marshal were recently removed
from Office on the complaint of Gov.
Walter e. Clark.
The resolution directing an investi-
cation was offered by Senator Hey
burn Of Idaho. and was based upon
reports in newspapers of the police
methods employed in the Sayler mur-
der case at Atlantic City. That case
was not one with which the federal
government had to do, but, in as much
as the methods complained Of may
infringe the constitutional guarantees
of the individual citizen, the commit
tee feels that 1t has jurisdiction. and
that case along with others com
planned Of will be Investigated.
