WarDepartment Rules Police
Officer Can Keep Reward for
Arresting a Deserter
CONFLICTS WITH STATE LAW

That the reward paid to policeman
for the capture of a deserter from the
United States army cannot be taken
from him by any act of the state leg
islature is the position taken by the
war department.
This ruling has been made by the
war department in response to re-
quest from the commander Of the de-
partment Of the Missouri for a decis-
ion on law that has recently been en-
acted by the Iowa State legislature.
In the Iowa law it is provided that all
rewards in money that may be paid to
a policeman for extraordinary serv-
ices must be turned over to the police
men s pension fund.
The question is now under consid-
Grafton by the attorney general of
Iowa and the commander of the De-
partment of the Missouri is requested
to call his attention to the ruling of
JIG WoI QOpdIIluGHG. LII Willing the
opinion of the war department the
judge advocate general says: cit is
believed that if a police officer is al
lowed to render service at all he should
be regarded as doing so under a con-
tract relation with the United States,
and that any act of legislation on the
part of the state which would deprive
him of the full compensation which he
is entitled to receive under the laws of
the United States for such service will
fall within the same reason as was
applied by the supreme court to the
matter of taxation by state of the
salary of officers of the United States.
1t is clear that it would to large ex-
tent defeat the purpose for which
the reward is offered. It is therefore
the opinion of this office that the stat
ute in question should not be construed
as covering the rewards paid by the
United States for the apprehension and
delivery of deserters

sHER!EF's CONTRACT STICKS
Board Wrestles all Morning With Sher-
iff-elect But Fails to Reach Agree
lnent-Bounty on Crows to Remain
in Force
(From Wednesdays Daily

The County Board of Super visors is
winding up the business of the Novem-
Der session this afternoon and an ad-
journment until the January session
will be taken before the day is over.
When the board adjourned at noon
today all of the business of the session
with the exception of passing on few
bills and the making of the contract
with the sheriff had been taken care
of. This morning the members Of the
board had a long conference with sher-
iff-elect Stahl in regard to the contract
for the new term. The sheriff-elect in
sisted that he would not desire to make
a contract for less than S. 900 and it
is pretty certain that the board will
not be willing to make this figure. The
contract with Sheriff Gunter for this
year was for the sum Of So, 800 and it is
thought that the board would be will
ing to make an increase of $500 for the
new contract.
There was little business of import
ance in the closing sessions Of the
board. At the session on Tuesday af-
ternoon Supervisor John T. Yule made
hard fight to have the crow bounty,
which the county has been paying for
several years cut off. Supervisor Yule
declares that they are breeding crows
in the western end of the county in
order to get the price set upon their
heads. While the argument on the
question brought up considerable fun
the members of the board were in
earnest when it came to voting and by
a vote of s to the resolution to do
away with the payment of the bounty
was lost and the, farmer boys will con-
tinue to get the money for another
year at least. 1t is declared that near
ly thousand dollars is paid annually
in crow bounties.
The board by unanimous vote pass
ed resolution thanking County Agent
Russell III. Jones for his work in the re-
modelling of the county Jail.
At the session this morning the COM
mittee which had examined the reports
of the County Treasurer reported that
the report was correct and following
the acceptance of the report the mem
bers of the committee went to the base
ment of the county building and des-
troyed the cancelled orders. More than
$148,000 worth of county orders were
burned during the five minutes that it
took the committee to complete the
task.
There was some caustic comment over
bills for expert witnesses in connection
with the trial of criminal cases in the
circuit court and District Attorney
Baker was called before the board Nhis
afternoon to give some statements in
regard to these bills.

HAD RIGHT TO TRANSPORTATION
Court Holds That Company Had No
Right to Eject Passengers on Ac-
count of Error of Conductor WHO
Gave Her the Wrong Ticket.

Mrs. Mary McCarron of the town of
Pleasant Prairie, in the United States
court for the Eastern District of Wis
consin, at Milwaukee Tuesday evening,
$500, in her suit against the Receivers
of the Chicago and Milwaukee Electric
Railway company. The case had been
on trial for two days and the decision
of the jury came as surprise to many
attorneys who had watched the trial
of the case. The suit turned on the
right of a passenger to recover as a re-
suit of an error of an agent of the
road and Attorney Calvin Stewart who
tried the case for Mrs. MeCarron is
credited with winning quite a victory
The suit was based on the actions of
a conductor on the defendant railway
On October Is, 1908. Mrs. McCarron
had purchased return ticket from
Winthrop Harbor to Kenosha and
when she got On the car the car was
crowded and she was forced TO stand
up. She had a baby with her and
when the conductor came into the car
she handed him her ticket. The con.
ductor tore off the wrong end of the
ticket and Mrs. McCarron failed to no
tiee the mistake. A few days later
she started to make the return trip
and when she got On the car the con-
ductor refused to accept the portion
Of the ticket she presented claiming
that it was going coupon and was
void after the date of the sale. Mrs.
McCarron refused to pay fare and was
elected from the car. She was forced
TO walk from the point where she was
elected from the car to her home. She
at once laid her case before ATTORNEYS
in Kenosha and after some delay At
torney Stewart agreed to start the
action in the United States court In
the trial Of the case he held that Mrs.
4hSCdAAOh O1l luO Law VI Jup JICkGD ndQ
paid for transportation to Kenosha and
return and that notwithstanding the
fact that the conducor had made the
mistake she was entitled to get the
value of her money. In his instruc-
lions to the jury the court took this
view of the situation and the jury af-
ter being out. few minutes returned
a verdict awarding the plaintiff $500
damages. Mrs. McCarron had asked
for $4,000.
The suit had many interesting angles
as to the rights of passengers on re-
turn trip tickets and it is probable that
the Railway company viii take an APP
peal to higher courts.

Two Little Daughters Arrived at the
Home of Judge G. e. Randall Today.
There is nothing doing at the NUM-
cipal court today and the USUAL stern
face Of Judge Clifford E. Randall the
presiding judge while wreathed in
smiles has not been seen at the office
OF the court. The absence of the court
is all due to the fact that he is busy
at home with his family" Early
this morning two little girls arrived at
the Randall home and with such an
addition to his home life the Judge was
justified in forgetting all the duties
demanded by the judicial ermine. The
Judge was kept busy during the morn
ing answering telephone calls. The
two little girls and their mother were
resting easy this afternoon.

To the People of Denver make its Population more Pro-

1t has been the purpose of this pa
per to keep in touch with the many
Negroes who have been going out
on the farm to live, and to tell
from time to time of the progress.
We are sure, however, that they are
not excepted from the general
prosperity wave. The difficult
problem for the colored man to
solve is to disrupt and break away
from the ties which bind him to
the always moving phantoms of
the city. But if we can get togeth-
er the fact about the success of
those already on the farm, and how
one success leads them to another,
we are positive that the number of
our people who will seek the farm.
and rural life will be greatly in
creased. This is as it should beg
All through Kansas, Oklahoma,
Missouri and Arkansas the num-
Der of successful Negro farmers
and land owners are annually in
creasing. The most pleasing fea-
ture about this increase is that
they are young men just starting

that class. We have many hundred
acres of tillable soil that has never
been filed on, and this state can af-
