JUDGE LAWLOR
RAISES STORM
IN COURT ROOM

San Franefsco. Aug. Both sides
OF the graft prosecutions are today
sterrnigy discussing the tempest which
broke forth In Judge Lawlor's court,
Refermers are disposed to believe that
the judge was justified. while the pro-
graft element insists that L.awior's ut
teranees were new proof of the trreg-
ular methods of the prosecution.
The judges courtroom was the scene
of events nearly as exciting as when
Francis j. Heney, the graft prosecutor,
was shot down by a man whose prison
record he had exposed.
On hearing the application of Patrick
Calhoun, president of United Rail-
ways, for the dismissal of the indiet-
ment against him, Judge Lawlor de-
clared from the bench that he believ-
ed Calhoun had guilty knowledge or
the attempt to dynamite the home OF
big Jim Gallagher, leading witness
for the prosecution In the bribery
cases, and that Gallagher was being
kept out Of the state by some kind OF
agreement.
The judge admitted that he had no
legal evidence to back up these
charges, but he insisted moral evil
dence was clear and convincing, as
no one except Calhoun would have
any interest In inducing Gallagher to
remain away.
Three of Calhoun's lawyers who pro-
tested against these charges-A. A.
Moore, Stanley Moore and ]. J. Bar
rett-were adjudged in contempt OF
court by Judge Lawlor and sent to
Jail for five days. Moore received a
second five days sentence for repeat
ed contempt.
Then Calhoun arose and absolutely
denied the judges charges and declar-
ed he should deem it an honor to be
sent to jail by such a judge.
Lawlor said nothing and refused to
take any notice of C%alhoun's protest,
but when the large audience In the
courtroom applauded Calhoun, the
judge grew pale as death and actually
left the bench and rushed toward his
chambers.
District Attorney Fickert intercepted
the judge and told him 1t would be
necessary to make ONE ruling, so
Lawlor returned to the bench and
postponed the cases.

out into the street.
To the first policeman he met he
| showed the slip of paper, and hungri
ly listened to his direction how to
reach the place named in it, then
walking with the utmost care OF the
childIs comfort, reached the station,
all trembling with loves fear, started
for Heavithorne.
1t was night when the lodge keeper
who told the story in the evening IN
the village ale house for the remain
der of his life-locking up the park
gate, saw a bent, misshapen figure
with something bullying out of the
breast of his coat, hurrying down
the path, and looking from one side
| to the other with wistful, eager eyes.
1t was Sam, with his precious bur-
den, and he stopped at the gate, and,
| looking at the keeper with eager eyes,
produced the piece of paper, now
thumb-marked and battered.
Can you tell me where that place
is? Quick?"
YES said the man, you're just
in time to save me trot out O. the
lodge again. That's the house down
yonder. But who'e do you want?"
That's my business retorted the
old man, with jealous ferceness.
Then, with a hurried Thank We"
and a glance at his burden, he hur
ried on, the moon lighting his path
and shining ON his gnarled, wrinkled
face as he went.
CLOSE there now" he murmured,
with his head bent down to his
breast "Close there now, Snow!
Keep up your heart, my precious!
Well soon be with the kind gentle
man. He'll take care O. you! Speak
to me, only a word-Snow- a
world"
Father SAM" murmured the little
fellow.
The old man choked down a sob and
hurried on faster than ever.
A turn of the path and he was at
the wicket gate.
Another minute and he was through
it, and standing like stone-but for
the heavy moan of disappointment and
despair which burst from the bottom
of his heart as his eyes rested upon
the lifeless house and the deserted
garden
Empty he moanedl Gone! Oh,
Snow! Snow!"
In his helplessness his head sank
upon his breast and he walked on
toward the house as if in a dream.
The child put out his little hand
and made peephole for itself.
Pretty! pretty" he murmured,
looking up at the house, upon which
the moon was shining brightly.
"Oh, father, stop here with Snow!"
Old Sam looked down at him with
a trembling lip.
The night was warm, the child well
wrapped up. There was no near shell
ter that he knew of; he might ander
all night and find no place for him.
He looked around, undecided still,
until his eyes fell upon a little summer
house in the corner of the shrubbery,
and then he decided.
Limping up to it--for he was foot
sore and famed by the hot roadside
crawled in, uncovered the child, while
he gave it draught of milk from
bottle, and then, covering it up again,
sat silent and motionless with its
warm, fragile form pressed TO him.
While he sat, looking up at the
moon with an inaudible prayer for the
child ever forming itself on his lips,
he heard noise near him, and, look
ing out, saw figure closely muffled
stealing through the neglected. gardan

ORIGIN OF THE OCEAN TIDES
Producing Agents Are Sun and Moon
and Law by Which They Act Is
That of Gravits.icn.

The tide visits us practically twice
a day, rising to height that can be
measured by so many feet. In many
places it comes only once, and is
measured by inches. The tide pro-
ducing agents are sun and moon, and
the law by which they act is the law
of gravitation. This law declares that
two bodies, or, to put 1t differently,
that every particle of matter in the
universe attracts every other particle,
the attraction depending on their mu-
tual distances and their mass. TAX
ing the moons attraction first, it is as
sumed that the whole of the earth Is
covered by the ocean. The moon at
tracts the waters, and that layer of
water Immediately under the moon
gets heaped up on the side nearest
the moon. High tide will be there.
The waters on the distant side are
heaped up also, and this is little de-
tail that puzzles most people, because
here one would naturally expect low
water. The reason of the seeming
paradox is that the waters on the dis
tant sides are thousands of miles fur
Their away from the moon than is the
earth's center. The earth thus gets
more of the moons pull than the dis
tant waters. These waters heap them
selves up away from the earth and
moon, and high tide will be there also.
fi1n ic tho nffoot 0f hot
lunar and solar pull. OF the two the
suns pull is the weaker, because of
his greater distance from the earth.
At new moon the height of the tides
is increased. Sun and moon then pull
in the same direction. At full moon
there is also an increased height. Sun
and moon then reinforce each other,
though they are on opposite sides of
the earth.
