DENIES HE Is VAGRANT,
BUT MUST PAY $40 FINE
Police Court Defendant Makes a
Technical Mistake

George Pulliam, charged with va
grancy, objected to being classed as a
"vag' in Police Judge Roses court
yesterday morning. He said he never
was a vagrant, and never expected to
be one.
But you are charged with sleeping
in a shed last night" the court inter
posed. Respectable people generally
live at hol.Se or at least rent room
for sleeping >llrposes. Did you sleep
in this shed?"
81 slept in the shed all right, your
honor" replied Pulliam, but as sure
as the sun shines 1 was drunk or
would not have done it.
Its perfectly immaterial to this
court" said Judge Rose, what charge
is preferred against you. You object to
the vagrancy charge? Very we'll, you're
fined $40 for being drunk"

Co TO WELL IT'S NOT
PROFANE, COURT RULES
Epithet Not Nice, Judge Rose Ad-
mitS, but 1t Is Not a Vio-
Iation of the Law

To use the words go to hell" is
not to be profane, according to an in
terpretation made by Police Judge Rose
yesterday morning. Incidentally, he
limited that complainants wishing per-
sons who have used this old and ia
miliar epithet punished in his court
must prefer a charge other than pro-
family against tl4S defendant.
On complaint of j. M. Royce, store
keeper at $50 West Fourth street, Ern-
est Kimball appeared before Judge
Rose to answer a charge of using pro-
fame language. According to Royce,
Kimball entered his store wednesday
and getting into an argument, told
him three times to "go to hell" KIM
ball admitted using the words.
'I'm sorry, Mr. Joyce" said Judge
Rose, "but 1 cannot hold this defend
ant for profanity. The use of the words
go to hell does not constitute pros
family Many courts have so held"
Judge Rose glanced at the complaint
again and noted that the words Joyce
complained of were uttered by Kim.

Judge Roses face lighted up as the
solution to the problem flashed across
his mind.
"Mr. Joyce, you say these words
were uttered in a loud and bolsterous
manner? Then I can hold Kfmball on
a charge of tumultuous and offensive
conduct"
After imposing a fine Of So on the
Strength of the newly found charge.
the court explained his views on the
three little words at which joyce mad
taken offense.
"In no way" said Judge Rose, "is it
possible to construe this epithet as pro-
family. TO be profane, in my belief,
is to call down the curse of God on a
mortal man. I admit that telling a
man To go to hell is asking him to
visit a most uncomfortable place, but

British Authorities Fear Outcome

Who Threaten Any Means to

LONDON, Dec. 3.-The suffra-

pretty serious. There's no mis-
take about 1.-THE authorities are
frightened. Not so much afraid
Of what the women will do to
them as of what they may be
lriven into doing to the women.
Sooner or later, they are con-

is bad enough to have lives lost
in any kind of political disorders.
But the idea of having them lost
in a suffraget disorder is awful.
There seems no doubts that
some of the more aggressive of
the suffragets are equipping
themselves with firearms. 1t has
been rumored that they are doing
it as an organization. Probably

true. But it is pretty certain that
individuals, and it is likely good
many individuals, intend to do

Stop at Nothing.
Shooting isn't such a long step
ahead of what has already been
done. Bricks have been hurled,
vitriol has been thrown, people
have been stabbed with hatpins, a
policeman was painfully cut with
a knife in recent riot in front of
the house of parliament, and tiles
have been tumbled onto the au-
thoritie' heads from the tops of

has not been killed already is due
to mere good luck. So why not

Now, if a suffraget war-party
should open fire on the police one
day soon and kill few of them,
what are the police going to do
about it? ii is a good deal to ex-

to death without returning their

PRIDE IN BOGUS PATERNITY.

An eastern newspaper in commend
ing the new railroad bill cites its ad-
vantages as follows:
The Old law permitted investiga-
tons and decisions by the interstate
commerce commission only when COM
plant had been filed by a shipper OF
other person interested. The new bill
permits the commission to institute
proceedings on its own motion and
without waiting for complaint to be
filed
The old law delegated to the com
mission authority only over rates and
charges. The new law will extend that
authority to include ali regulations and
classifcations which may in any way
affect rates or the interests OF ship
pers.
THE old law authorized proceedings
only after rate had gone into effect.
The new law will authorize the sus-
pension of any proposed rate regula-
ton or classification for a period not
exceeding eleven months, pending In
yestigation by the commission.
"One of the most important pro-
visions of the new law will be the
placing on the railroads Of the burden
of proof in all judicial proceedings
whereby it is sought TO waive the de-
cisions of the interstate commerce
commission, thus relieving the shipper
of the burden of carrying legal cases
possibly up TO the highest court In the
land
1t should be of interest IN Iowa to
know that not a single one of these
conspicuous points of merit were in
the administration bill when 1t came
from the senate committee and that
everyone of them were forced into it
. by the insurgent senators under the
leadership Of Senator Cummins. Pres
ident Taft win be accorded congrat-
ulations for getting so much Of reform
out of congress and his reply will be to
read out of the party the men who
forced into his bill the provisions for
which he will be congratulated.

Japanese wrestlers are not to be
confused with Japanese exponents of
jiu-jitsu. The wrestlers belong to the
older school. in which weight is a
paramount quality. 1t is remarkable
thing that race which is. on the av-
erage, four or five inches under the
European standard In point OF height,
should have produced a special cult
of wrestlers who are giants In stature
and strength. The leading wrestlers
of Tokyo or Osaka or {Iiogo are all
men at least six feet in height and
weighing, perhaps. 800 pounds. They
are a race apart; wrestling is an &C.
curation which has been handed down
from father to son for many genera
tons. And the explanation of their
prowess is that they have always been
meat eaters, while the rest Of Japan,
either from choice or necessity, have
been in the main vegetarians.

Notwithstanding the assumed VIC

these men reperence to the reform

President Taft's selection for supr eme
court vacancy and yet he calls upon
the legislature to enact statewide
primary law.
1.-The people are dissatisfied with
existing conditions and demand q
change" says Governor Hughes In his
message. Whatever may be said of
imperfections In the laws relating to
this matter in other Jurisdictions, there
can be no question but that these laws
reflect a wholesome sentiment which
