News of the Courts
PLEADS GUILTY AND IS
RELEASED BY THE COURT
Judge Willis Orders Joseph B.
DeFord Discharged on
Check Charge

Brought back from a profitable JOB
as chef in a Globe, Ariz., club to face
a charge of having issued a check for
$40 with no funds in the bank two years
ago. Joseph B. DeFoTd was arralsned
before Judge Willis yesterday morning
and pleaded guilty. On being placed on
the stand to explain, in view of an ap-
plication for his probation, the court
came to the conclusion that Detord
had been imposed on after hearing ms
testimony and he was dismissed.
According to DeF'ord's story, he was
generous while under the influence of
liquor. that he gave his friends checks
when they asked for them, regardless
of the condition of his finances, and
when he sobered up he tried to pay
them. JOY rides during the horse
racing season two years ago were ms
"lcng suit" while he was drunk, anu
he became so pestered with bllls pre-
sented by chauffeurs, grOcers. friends
and others that he saw no chance OF
paving them all.
OFF FOR ARIZONA
He left for Arizona and stopped
drinking Being a stair builder by
trade he tried to get a job, but found
that high living had given him a "bay
window" He decided his shape would
better fit him as a waiter, and he Sc
cured job as head man in an eXclu"
sive Globe club, where his "tips" made
his salary look like 80 cents"
He declared he had made arrange
meuts to pay all his debts in Los An
eeles county, but hearing that he was
to be arrested for uttering a fundless
check he beat the process server to this
city to explain the situation and de-
clared to the court that he only wanted
time in which to pay everybody ne
owed
He had reformed, he said, and there
were no more Joy rides" or long
seances with the Flowing bowl" for
him. Deputy District Attorney Ford
supported his testimony and said he
was agreeable to giving him probation.
The complaint, he said, had been sworn
out by Frank II Carpenter although
the check in question was issued to j.
j. Doyle, who had never prosecuted
him.
GAVE MONEY TO PAY
DeFord declared he had given a third
party money to pay the check, but that
it had never been turned over to Doyle
Further testimony S to the manner in
which DeFord had been handled by
race track friends was given. and the
court came to the conclusion that the
district attorneys office was being
used as a bill collecting establishment.
Judge Willis declared that in view Of
the fact that DeFord had not been
prosecuted two years ago when he is
sued the check, and under the other
testimony, that it was an imposition on
him to bring him back to this state and
cause him extra expense. Ford de-
Tended the district attorneys office by
stating that Carpenter had presented
such an array of evidence that charges
had been sworn against DeFord, but
under the circumstances he did not
think DeFord should have been com
PEELED to return.
Judge Willis allowed DeFord to

pretty well. Jack l said to the manager, i
security. How about it
For reply the manager held out his hand,
on which the new fake diamond shone like
headlight. Take your pick. said he.
Il picked the fake and handed it to the Sheriff.
"'Gee!' said he. Isn't this one worth too
much?'
to leave it in your possession always. I'm not
entirely fool. Now how about it,
We'll, he let us get out of town. That was
all. He couldn't do anything, either, because
l hadn't deceived him about the value of the
diamond
OH yes, those were the good old days, when
actor or a business manager didn't
know where the next week salary was coming
from, and manager could skip away and
leave company anywhere! Youv heard,
suppose, the story of the company that was in
bad all along the route?
Well, it was doing bad business, and in
every town it played it ran up debts it couldn't
pay. But the manager was specious case, and
he convinced the Sheriffs who waited for at
tachments, and the landlords who wanted to
collect bills, that the only hope they had was
to travel along with the company and take
their share of what came in. And, as each new
landlord joined he'd make him learn a chorus
part and help the company out, SO that he was
gradually picking up mammoth aggregation.
Their voices weren't very good; but they were
all right in volume.
1t got so that when the company got into
town the manager would choose the hotel they
were going to stay at by the voice of the land
lord. He had too many barytones, and wanted
more tenors and BASES and it was no easy Job
picking out the hotels to stay at.
Well, finally he had the landlord of every
little hotel in the Middle West in his chorus
and it was dandy. He billed it as The Only
Landlord Chorus in the World and made
money. and of course the landlords wouldn't
leave him then. they were in on the profits.
| last heard of him three or four years later
l was in Paducah Kentucky, one day, and he
came into the hotel. Walking up to the counter,
he smiled at the landlord and registered for
himself and company. At the same time he
tossed much worn tenor part over to the
landlord, saying:
$50 By the way, here's the music of my opera.
You'd better get up in it.
What for,' asked the astonished landlord
m no comic opera singer
Nor said the manager. Well, cheer up;
you'll be with us in few days
That was the last reminder of the palmy
days I've had for sometime, and it's the last
want. These are good enough for me-"

WEDDING OUT PLAN APPROVED
Public Appreciates Step Announced
By Pres. Lynch Of Nationals

New York. Sept THE announce
ment by President Tom Lynch of the
National league that he is going TO
weed out his umpires before next sea-
son is looked upon by the New York
baseball public as the drawing of a
much needed light on the national
league executive.
Incompetent umpiring is the one
great fault OF the game ms played In
the older league, according to local
fans and players. Manager McGraw
will especially welcome Lynch's an
nouncement for the scrappy leader Of
the Giants has had more 'run-ins"
with Umpire Rigler and other arbit-
ers than any other manager In the
league and has spent much of his
time i'm Punishment from the field
through the rulings OF the umpires.
IL is conceded here that the Amer
lean league has n much stronger stan
of umpires than the National, con-
dion of affairs If not corrected Is
bound TO increase the popularity OF
the new league at the expense of the
older.

BADGERS HAVE
new DIRECTOR
UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN STU
DENTS HOPE TO MAKE MORE
PROGRESS IN ATHLETICS
FROM NOW ON

Madison. Wis. Sept. 7.-George w.
Ehler, the newly appointed athletic
director at the University of Wiscon-
sin, will arrive here early this week
10 take charge OF the situation. Ac-
cording to word received here from
Mr.. Ehler, who is still In Baltimore
winding up his affairs as secretary
of the Baltimore Playground assocla-
ton, his first aim will be to get every
undergraduate interested in some
form or other of athletics.
Although 1t has been several years
since Mr.. Ehler has been In the west.
he is by no means a stranger I'm this
section of the country. His first wes-
tern experience was during the sum
mer of 1891, when he was instructor
of the Y. NJ. G. A. summer camp at
Lake Geneva. Previous to that time
he was physical director of the De-
troit Y. NJ. c. A. for four years, dur
ing which time he was identified with
the movement to put modern physical
training on a rational scientific basis
as lnaugurated in the Chicago and
Springfield, Mass, training schools.
He then came to Chicago, where he
was placed in charge for twelve years,
being here during the construction OF
the Central Y. NJ. c. A. building, then
the finest and most completely equip
ped building of n similar nature. in
the country. He also started organic
ed basket ball on a sound basis and
his Central association team had en-
viable records. winning the A. A. u.
championship in all but one year. taxi
ing first in the national Y. NJ. c.. A..
championships at the ST. Louis expo
sition and second in the A. A. u.
championship.
Mr.. Ehler has not confined his eff
orts TO basket ball and gymnastics
! alone, for he has also turned out some
star track aggregations. He first
achieved success along this line with
his Central teams which were annual
competitors In Milwaukee when The
old exposition was the scene OF the
| indoor championships. In 1904 he took
/ team to the st. Louis Y. NJ. G. A.
championships and not only brought
them back winners but captured most
of the records. The same team won
the A. A. u. championship in the Mil
waukee meet n year later, defeating
representatives from Beloit college,
Notre Dame university the University
/ of Wisconsin and other western insti-
tutions.

Strange IL seems that the first ma

a vanishing people.
Not that the Indian Is dying out. Far
from that, for a census bulletin last
fall told that the red man was shak-
ing off the ills which civilization had
endowed him with. and was increas-
ing in numbers, slowly, it is true. but
surely.
Yet the rcdslIin of today is so diff

queathed to him, that he can he COM

No peace pipes will be required ut
the forthcoming convention because
no Indians have been ut war, and none
could go To war II they wanted to. In
the first place the facilities arc de-
MED them. In the second, few Of them
want to. In the last generation those
redskins who have not degenerated
into weaklings and wards of the state
have turned. for the most part. into
prosperous farmers.
Practically speaking tho day ~ the

is past. The few old line chiefs who
