 It was a, typical summer night Wheeler. with his wife and two children had ridden far into the suburbs for a breath of wholesome country air Re turning he had descended one of the large hills, entering the city proper, and keeping well within the speed limits, was within five squares of his home when a bicycle policeman hailed him from behind.
 warning.
 Tt is out of order" responded Wheeler. "Tl be bome In few minutes and attend to it."
 Two big gasoline machines rumbled by It the same instant and on neither was a rear light displayed.
 Vehicles drawn by horses were coming and going with no lights at all.
 The side lights on Wheeler's electric car were brilliant and illuminated the street
 A square or so further on the bicycle policeman again hailed Wheeler.
 Mister, your lights out"
 Yes, I know1 was the response. Tt wopt work, but I'll see to 1t wIfsi. | get fl home" Two minutes later Wheeler turned tn corner into a lettered street and stopped | In front of his residence, alighted, ant i helped his wife and children out. Tn, bicycle policeman arrived simultaneousl, | and dismounted. l At the same moment one of the tire of the electric blew out as a signal tha | the joy-riding was at an end for tn, evening. 'Let me have your name, please" sait the bicycle policeman. who had taken tn, l number of the car.

Wheeler gave it. No. it was not really Wheeler The bicycle policeman recog- nized it and his manner became apolo- getic. somewhat. But an uncompromis- ing sense of duty spurred him on.
 Let me look at your permit" said he
 Haven't it." rejoined Wheeler. Don't know where it is" It was issued months ago and Wheeler had misplaced it. Per haps it was in his desk at the office, or in the pocket of an old coat. He did not know.
 The bicycle policeman looked and acted incredulous. Clearly he did not believe that Wheeler had permit.
 will you go to one of the station houses?"
 The bicycle policeman did not say Wheeler must go; he asked if he would go.
 NO. can't. I'm late now. and have to get to my office"
 twill you meet me In court tomorrow morning, then?'
 q can hardly do that either" said Wheeler. flor I keep late hours and dc not get down town early" Wheeler Is a night worker. But" he added, 'I'll tele- phone the superintendent and arrange 1t. '
 'eAll right" said the bicycle policeman Anything he says will be satisfactory to me-"
 Next day Wheeler got in communica- tion with the police court authorities and indicated his readiness to pay any fine that might be assessed for violating the regulation touching the rear light on his machine.
 But a complication here developed. He was now, it appeared, accused of operat- ing a machine without a license, having failed to produce his permit. considerate court officials, however, told him he would be notified.

HOW WHEELER
 GOT P|NCHED A Story Which Every Automo- bilist Will Read WARRANTS OF ARREST And Thirty-six Hours of Annoyance Are the Results Experience Which May Fall to Lot of Local
 Motorists
WARRANTS OF ARREST
From the Washington Herald.

From the Washington Herald. Wheeler owns an electric automobile He has owned one-not the same one,
 uses it in his business, but principally
 for the pleasure of himself and family.
 He prizes 1t highly, unless 1t happens to be in the shop out of commission. or
 when his bills come in at the end of the
 month. Then he grows eloquent, coun- selling his friends against contracting
 the electric runabout habit.
 His doctor tells him he would lengtheu his span of life if he would walk more. But, all in all, if the cars battery Is
 working well and the tires are holding
 up he consoles himself with the thought
 that his electric Is about the most satis- flying expensive luxury that mortal man
 can indulge. in. And any other Washing tonian, who owns such a machine, will say Wheeler is about right
 Wheeler is a law-abiding citizen. He
 respects the right of pedestrians, even | those who ignore crossings and persist aimlessly in using the streets. He would
 not run one of them down for the world. Experience has made of him a some
 what expert chauffeur. He has never
 had a mishap, but he knocks on wood
 when he mentions the proud fact. More
 over, he was never arrested-never until a night or two ago, and then he was not actually taken into custody. The story of 1t Is coming.
 You may know Wheeler. Some people IA pt,t he 4Ff xF figures herein did not know him from
 Adam. He knows him now, but that
 does not count. Wheeler also knows this
 officer of the law, but that does not
 count

The lord lieutenant recently ordered the release of James Larkin. The latter was sentenced last June to P months impris- onment on the charge of conspiracy in connection with the formation of the Irish Transport Workers union.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1910-10-09

And he was notified.
 At night there came a message to him from police headquarters to appear in court the following morning. The bicycle policeman had sworn out two warrants against Wheeler, one charging him with failing to display light on the rear Of his machine and the other with operating an automobile without a license.
 Wheeler apeared, not, in court, but in the court offices. The bicycle policeman was there-very sorry. meek of manner, but more imbued than ever with his sense of duty-doing. Wheeler had no difficulty in convincing the courts repre- sentative that, although he had misplaced his permit, he was a properly licensed operator His word was good. Promising to secure a duplicate permit. the first charge was dropped. Then 1t was de- cided, after a little consideration that his personal bond in the sum of s1oo might be taken in the other case. Thereupon Wheeler went forth from the precincts of the police court a free man. He had received uniformly courte- ous treatment from every quarter, but for 36 hours had been subjected to an- noyance and his daily routine broken in- to-all because he had not been able to make the rear light on his electric work. '1 was sorry when I found out who you were" said the bicycle policeman at l the amiable parting in the court corridor. He had been so sorry, in fact, that he had filed double charge. But why was 1t that he should be any sorrier on Wheeler's account than on account of any other law-abiding citizen? Wheeler doesn't know.
 But Wheeler has now had a direct ob- ject lesson of the police system of Wash ington--a system that leads to an ,,n- pnrreled number of petty arrests. and at least one-half of them senseless.
 And Wheeler is indefinitely under bond to keep his rear light burning.

LIKE A TALE FROM THE ARABIAN NIGHTS

Since the admission of California tu l the union the growth of the state has been more like q tale from the Ara bian Nights than sober fact. The con l structinn of the two great railroads brought on the era of mammoth wheat fields. which the lamented Frank Norris described in The Octopus. [" with an amazing creation of wealth. Irrigation has changed many of the vast estates of these days into fruit fa~ms titled scientifically by d race of thoroughly educated horticulturists. once California was known to the world as the land of gold Now it is the land not only of the wealth which is mined out of the orange.

 California has always been famed for her initiative. She never has lost anything for lack or daring and en- ergy. What other state ever ventured for any cause as she has to win the Panama exposition?
 The legislature has voted 5000. GOO without the quiver of an eyelash. The city of San Francisco makes a noble second with g. 800 .0OO more. besides pr sl2.h0O.O GOO in all for the city. This is the sum which the Golden state will offer congress to prove her right to the great historic exposition. San Francisco is the only suitable site for it. The Panama canal concerns the entire country intimately.

CRIMINAL CAUGHT IN
 SEATTLE
Nuggets Special Service.


 SEATTLE, Oct. 27-Arthur Trian. well known to the police of the Pa cifc coast. was arrested here today on an old charge of forging. The ar rested man has done time at McNeirs for two terms on similar charges. Trian is an expert penman and forger and his work has deceived several of the local banking institutions.
 Seven months ago Trian came here from San Francisco and proceeded to write and successfully pass worthless checks. The forger employed the names of many leading merchants and received several hundreds of dollars on the bogus paper.
 The police and city detectives en- deavored to locate the forger but he evidently got away before the search was made. as he was nowhere to he found
 Today special officer Matt Ryan, an old member of the local police force spotted Trian on the street and imme- diately put him under arrest.
 Upon being brought to the station house. the forger confessed his crimes to the desk sergeant He will he helC and tried in Seattle.
