PURITY SQUAD DISCREDITfD;
CASE AGAINST VICTIM DISMISSED

court and entered a plea of not guilty
to the charge. When his case was
called yesterday morning he appeared
and while the talesmen were waiting
to be examined in order to qualify as
jurors, Browning and Bowe apparent
ly discovered that they did not have
sufficient evidence to convict King and
the case was dismissed on motion of
the deputy district attorney.
Not satisfied with having their en-
emy discharged and wishing to wrealI
their vengence on him for their other
failure, Browning and Bowe finally
secured a complaint charging King
with battery.
The complaint was filed in Police
Judge Roses court. Soon afterward
King appeared in that court and when
the charges against him were read by
Judge Rose and he asked several
questions, the judge abruptly an
nounced that there was something
wrong and sent for the attorney who
had issued the complaint.
When the deputy district attorney
appeared in court Judge Rose said that
a person cannot be placed twice in
jeopardy and censured him for draw
ing the charges. King, thereupon, told
of his having been prosecuted by MEM
bers of the "purity squad" and the
prosecuting attorney interposing no
objections, the case was dismissed.

MASKED THUGS
ROB CASHIER
OFFICIAL OF MILLING co.
BRUTALLY BEATEN
Robbers Thought to Have Premedl-
tated Crime, as Victim Was
in Habit of Carrying
Company Funds

r. L. Switzer, cashier OF the Stimson
Milling and Lumber company was
held up, robbed and brutally beaten
last night by two masked footpads at
the corner of Thirty eighth and Ala
media streets.
Switzer was on his way to the Loomis
hotel, 625 LOomis street, when APP
preached by the men. One of them
showed a revolver in his face and or
dered him to hold up his hands Switz-
er resisted and was hit several times
on the head with the revolver. He
fought against the robbers, but was
finally overpowered and beaten into
unconsciousness.
When he revived he ascertained that
his purse, containing $S, had been
stolen, together with his watch and a
valuable chain and charm.
Switzer went to his hotel and tele-
phoned to police headquarters, and al
though q good description of the thugs
was given, the police were unable TO
locate them.
1t is believed the holdup of Switzer
to carry a large amount of money as
cashier of the milling company Last
night he fortunately deposited the
money in the safe before starting to
his hotel.
The robbers were described to the
police by Switzer as young men, one
being about five feet nine inches in
height, weighing 140 pounds, with black
hair and mustache and black derby
hat. The other, he said, was of the
same height, but weighing 100 pounds
smooth shaven and wearing a black
felt hat.

Futile attempts were made yesterday
by Patrolmen Browning and Bowe of
the police purity squad" to vindicate
their action in arresting. Margaret
Fisher and their attack on George
King, when two cases against the lat
ter were thrown out of court by Po-
lice Judges Frederickson and Rose.
King was arrested and beaten in
February when he rushed to the assis-
tance of Miss Fisher, who was being
overpowered by Patrolman Browning,
because she refused to submit to ar
rest without warrant and protested
against being taken from her room
at S22h South Main street
King, who occupied a room across
the hall, rushed in and while matters
were being explained to him was at
tackled by Browning, who used his
handouts to beat the man into sub
mission.
The following morning, Browning
and Bowe, after considerable difticulty,
swore to a complaint charging the wo-
man with vagrancy. The officers then
sought some charge to place against
King and after telling their story of
the affair to several deputy district
attorneys, finally obtained a complaint
charging the man with resisting an
officer.
King was duly arraigned in police

the University of Michigan. He work
ed on farm until nineteen years OF
age, when he began teaching school.
In 1895 he was admitted to the bar
at Jackson. lie acted as register Of
deeds of Jackson county for ten years.
Then the folks OF the Second district
decided to send him to Washington as
their representative.
Townsend Is one of the authors or
the Roosevelt rate bill, and as an au-
thority on all matters pertaining TO
railway legislation he ranks second to
none. He first leaped into promi-
nence in his first term OF congress.
when his stand on rate legislation
placed him conspicuously before the
eyes of tho nation. and az that time
his reputation was made.
He had served his district well and
faithfully for nearly six years when
the death of Russell A. Algcr left n
vacancy In the senatorial ranks that
Il was up to Michigan to All. Mr..
Townsend made bid for tho seat,
but was defeated by his colleague In
congress, William Alden Smith.
The people OF his district then re-
turned him to congress by an over
whelming majority over his Demo
cratic opponent. But tho reward OF
true merit could not be- denied him
and, at the last primaries, he was
chosen by the Republicans OF the
State as their candidate for United
States senator.
Charles Il. Townsend Is a progress

Who is he?
He is the man whom Theodore
Roosevelt counts as his friend. He Is
the man who told Roosevelt he would
like to get him up into the wilds OF
Canada, walk his legs off about half
way to his knees and lose him in the
forest
Who is he?
lie is the man who Is equally ut
nome in the most trackless wilderness
or ut the helm OF a boat on the Great
Lakes. He is the man who can carry
his pack all day and never seem to
weary. He is the man who can guide

Fearless and studious.
Who is he?
He Is the man afraid of no beast

Who Is he?

who has a marvellous knowledge of

Who Is he?
Why he's just Chase Salmon Os-

Politician, you say?
Politician? Yes. Nothing wrong in
that. Any man who takes interest in
the welfare of his state and nation
is q politician. No man can be a man
unless he is in some degree poll
tician.
Erratic?
His opponents have charged him
with this. What says the dictionary?
Notwithstanding no certain course:
rowing about without fixed purpose. .
Man Of Fixed Purpose.
The definition does not apply. Chase
s. Osborn has had fixed purpose.
Better, more economical. cleaner gov
eminent. That has been his fixed
purpose.
What then? Versatile? Hero is a
word between which and cratic
there Is but fine distinction In def
milton yet that distinction Is sharp
enough to make the latter word APP
plicable to Chase 8. Osborn.
"versatiie-Readily applying ones
self to new task or to various sub
jects." So says the dictionary.
Does II apply? Chase 8. Osborn
has readily applied himself to a vast
variety of tasks and subjects. More
over he has mastered them all.
Versatile he Is. Erratic he Is not.
ness is born OF confidence, of self
reliance. of knowledge OF what his

to. Impulsive? Yes. but not an i'm
pulsiveness without foundation. Often
Il may seem his impulsiveness is not

has outstripped the foresight of those
who criticized.
Magnetic?
None will deny Il. No man hears

siasm. Stolid though one may be. he
