OBEDIENCE

"Alice," called mother from the
kitchen window, "take this basket to
the orchard and bring me some apples
to make pies"
Alice was sitting in her swing on the
large, shady veranda, but she did
not go.
Alice, have you brought the ap-
ples?" asked her mother, when enough
time had passed for her to have done
the errand.

Mrs. Clark came to the doorway,
and, seeing some chickens in the yard,
called: "Colllel Collie!" A beautiful
dog responded instantly to the call and
drove the chickens out of the yard.
Mrs. Clark returned to her work, and
Alice took a basket, and with Collie
by her side went for the apples.
To the dog she said: I've learned
a lesson from you today, Collie. After
this I'm going to obey. too, as soon as
I'm called" d."-Inez Wilson in the Sum

WOMAN s LOGIC
SECURES PARDON
Texas Matron Pleads Husband
Would Have Been More Grim
inaI to Let Family Starve
Especial to The Herald

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Oct. pa
The pardon board Of the state of Texas
has listened and bowed to a twentieth
century Portia. Unlike Shakespeares 8
heroine in 1.-The Merchant of Venice"
Mrs Sidney Leftwick is married, and
her husband was in the penitentiary.
The argument she presented for her
husbands pardon was entirely femi-
nine, but her woman's logic moved the
hearts of the pardon advisors and on
their urgent recommendation the gov
ernor signed Leftwlck's release restor-
ing him to citizenship. Mrs. Leftwicl1
contended that when the family of a
man is starving, the husband and
father Is more of criminal If he let's
them starve than il he becomes a
thief for food.
The wife appeared after the long
argument of an attorney had failed to
secure favorable action upon the ap-
plication. LeftwiCk was sentenced to
the penitentiary from Parker county
Texas, last April, for term of two
and a half years for burglary His
wife came from Poolville, where she
was trying to make living for her
self and three small children. Simply
she gave q little history of her hus-
bands case and of the tribulations of
the family before and after his con-
viction. They were in destitute cir
cumStanceS and the husband, despite
unwearied efforts, had failed to get
work. When the babies were so weak
they could hardly totter and the wife
had grown i'll from want of food, in
his desperation he broke into a smoke
house, procured some bacon, sold it,
and with the money bought food for
his family. Almost Immediately the
theft was discovered and Leftwick was
arrested. The wife took in washing
but was unable to get enough work to
support herself and young ones. She
worked as a farm laborer in the fields,
picked cotton and did the hardest kind
of manual labor. Finally she wrote the
governor asking that he please allow
her to take her husbands place in
prison, suggesting that Sidney was
better able to provide for the babies"
She told him she was growing i'll and
did not know how long she could keep
on her feet. This letter was followed
by personal appeal, and this was her
argument: HE would have been
more of a criminal had he not stolen
under the circumstances than he was
in stealing for u.s."
The pardon board investigated Left
wick's prison record and found that
the superintendent had given him "a
clean bill of health" The governor
Immediately attached his signature to
the pardon.

CLAIMS UNDERTAKES
CHANGED WIFE'S COFFIN
WidoWer Sues Funeral Directors
for $4,000 Damages

PHOENIX, oct. 24-E. E. Bridge
man filed a suit for $4,000 damages
against Easterling & Whitney, a Phoe-
nix undertaking firm. Mrs. Bridge
man died July at Los Angeles and
the bcdy was sent in q metal-lined box
to Phoenix, where it was buried by
the defendants. The plaintiff alleges
he had an intuition that the metal
lined box had been exchanged for an
ordinary box, and he reopened the
grave and found 1t so. An interesting
feature not mentioned in the complaint
but told by acquaintances Of Bridge
man that the intuition was a dream
for three successive nights in which
the wife appeared and told him the
box had been stolen.
The undertakers made the follow
ing statement
"The plan is customary to bury a
body in the usual wooden box, as the
once opened metal-llned box has
served it's purpose and is no longer air
tight. Brdgeman should have OBJ
served this fact at the funeral, and
also that in settlement of the expenses
he was allowed $40 on the bill for the
cost of the box, which the undertakers
are privileged to use again, but never
have; and finally, that his net outlay
to them for the funeral was only So"

CORONER PROBES
DEATH CHAUFFEUR
Auto Runs Into Bank on San
Pedro Road, Turns Turtle, 5
Occupants Underneath

SAN PEDRO, Oct. 24-Coroner C. d.
Hartwell conducted three inquests to-
day Henry w. Schober, a chauffeur,
was killed last night on Vermont ave-
nue.. nearly a mile north of Weston
street, by the oVerturning of a seven"
passenger Buick car. @chober was
hired to run the machine by Dick Will
son of Bakersville, who came here yes
terday afternoon, accompanied by w
Wilson of 915 North Fair Oaks avenue
and C. Kohen of ia North Broadway,
Pasadena. Here they were Joined by
Mrs. L. P. Jeffries and Mrs. Lou
Wright who runs rooming house at
405 Front street.
The party went from here to Re-
dondo Beach, and after remaining some
time at the Casino there started back
about 8 o'clock. They lost their way
and went north on Vermont avenue
after leaving Weston road. At a ranch
house they were given directions and
started back at a high rate of speed.
There is a fork in the road where the
accident occurred and SchOber did not
make the turn in time. He ran the
machine into the bank and it turned
turtle, pinning the occupants under
meath. All the occupants got from
under the car and were uninJured ex-
cept Schober. One of the men had to
cut his trousers and coat to pieces to
get out.
The three men raised the car and
found Schober dead. DR.. Blanche Boil
ton was called and brought the women
back to town. It was nearly two
hours before another machine with
officer c. n. Sparks were able to find
the three men shivering in the cold
watching over the corpse. The remains
were taken to Bryants undertaking
parlors.
At the police station Wilson said
that the machine was owned by Henry
Spilker and Julia Kueen, who run
road house four miles from Bakers
vile, at the corner of Eighth street
and Maricopa road, and that he had
been employed as manager of their
saloon. The Kueen woman came down
today to recover the machine. Singu-
larly it was not injured.
The verdict of the cOroner's jury was
that Schober's death was caused by a
hemorrhage. There were no marks on
his body save one bruise on the back
and an indention over the temple.

Article Printed IN industrial
Workers. Organ

FRESNO. Oct. pa sensation was
created here today through the dis
tribution of the Industrial Worker"
the official organ of the Industrial
Workers of. the World, in its covert
reference to attacks by a local af-
ternoon newspaper, which editorially
condemned the organizations cam
paign for free street speaking. The
paper stated that while it was to be
hoped that all would refrain from vio-
lence, such publications often supplied
the psychological suggestion for COM
mitting dynamite outrages.
The paper also lampoons Chief of
Police Shaw in some verse and has
aroused some opposition from union
labor men by referring to 'scab
unions'' opposed to the 1. w. w.
Five men were arrested tonight for
attempting to speak on the street. All
but one gave American names. This

RUSSIA REFUSES
US. AND ENGLAND
Proposal to Arbitrate on Cargo
of War Prize 0Idhamia
Is Declined

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 24.-The
Russian government has declined the
English proposal to arbitrate the
steamer Oldhamia dispute and the
American request for compensation for
the cargo on the ground that the de-
cision of the lower courts that the
cargo was contraband was final.
The British steamer Oldhamia was
captured by the Russians May 10, 1905.
during the so-Japanese war while
bound from Yokohama with cargo
of kerosene consigned by American
citizens.
On May 27 the Oldhamia was recap
tured by the japanese in the battle of
the Sea of Japan and taken to Sasebo
where her cargo was sold.
At the preliminary investigation by
the Russian government in answer to
the representations of the British gov
ernment it was said the capture of the
Oldhamia was because of the presence
of contraband, either shells or machin-
cry, in her cargo, the uncertainty being
due to the similarity of the Russian
words describing these objects.
The case was eventually transferred
to the prize court at Libau to facilitate
the representations on behalf of the
claimants. The cargo, valued at $123,-
OO0 was the property of the Standard
Oil company.
The prize court decided the steamer
carried no explosives and fCfRi in
favor of the American consignors and
appointed arbitrators to determine the
damages.
This was not satisfactory to the Man
chester and Stafford Shipping company,
the owners, and the Standard Oil COM
pany, who demanded a total compen-
sation of $5OO,0O0, and appealed to the
supreme prime court of Russia The
court rejected the appeal and gave the
Standard Oil company only the right
to take legal steps to recover the cost
of empty cases.

Pennsylvania Nominee Governor
to Procure Arrest of North
American Editor
ATTACK BUSINESS INTEGRITY
National Public Utilities Corpora
ton Pacific Coast Involved
in Accusations
ASSOCIATED Press)

PHILADELPHIA, oct. 24.-John K.
Tener, Republican candidate for gov
ernor of Pennsylvania, swore out
warrant to lay for the arrest of E. A.
Van Valkenberg, editor and published
of the North American Publishing COM
pany of this city, charging him with
criminal libel. The warrant was not
served, but counsel for Mr.. Tener sent
a letter to Mr.. Van Valkenberg in
forming him of the action taken and
notifying him that a hearing in the
case would be held Friday.
The warrant is based on an attack
begun by the North American October
13 against Mr.. Tener's business in
tegrity. The charges have been re-
iterated daily.
Briefly they assert that Mr.. Tener
was "a friend and associate of
swindlers." 1t is charged that Mr..
8ener, at the time a member of con-
gress, sold his name to the National
Public Utilities corporation so that he
could be exploited as the president of
the corporation. For this, the charges
aver, he agreed to accept $4,000 year
in salary and was given $4,000 worth
of stock in the concern.
CHARGE PAPER RAILROAD
The charges characterize the Nation
al Public Utilities corporation as a
fraudulent and swindling corpora
ton" which is supposed to be interest
ed in Pacific coast development and
the owner of a projected road in Ore
gon known as the Astoria, Seaside &
Tillamook railway company. The
charges further declare that this is a
paper railroad, having no physical ex-
istence.
In subsequent publications the North
American printed names of certain men
connected with the company, who, it
asserted, we're either convicted or un-
convicted swindlers. The newspaper
also enlarged that Mr.. Tener with sew
eral business associates sold a con-
trolling interest in the Security Life
and Annuity company to a man it de-
clared to be a swindler and that the
latter merged this company with a
concern which had headquarters in
Chicago.
Mr.. Tener issued a long formal state
ment last night denying the charges
made by the North American. He ad-
mitted that he had been connected
with the National Public Utilities cor
poration for about three months and
added that he severed his connection
with the company because of pressure
of business in connection with his du-
ties as congressman. He also admitted
having received $4,000 in stock, which
he said he returned. He added that he
still believed the company to be le-
gitimate.
