Law
WANT TO CHANGE PLEAS

Washington, Dec. 30.-Attorney
General Wickersham has alarmed an
other group Of trust men, and today
attorneys for some of them will APP
pear at the Department Of Justice to
talk over the situation and see If
something cannot be done to keep
their clients out of Jail. The men
seeking to get matters arranged are

Gently as members OF the so-called
Bath Tub Trust
Two or three days ago some Of the
defendants appeared In court in De
troit, pleaded not guilty, and asked to
reserve the right to change their
pleas. Attorney General Wickersham
gave personal instructions that if
such reservations we're to be made,
the time In which the pleas might be
changed must be limited. The court
fixed Jan. as the last day in which
such action could be taken. The con-
ference arranged for tomorrow was
one OF the results.
There have been indications for
some time that the bath tub men
were not taking their Indictment light

err, If It could be arranged It seems
clear that there has been a break in
the lineup of the trust membership,
and it would not be surprising If some
of the indicted men proved ready TO
turn State evidence If they could
thereby secure personal immunity.
II is not regarded here as at all
likely that Attorney General Wicker

thetically to any proposition to plead
nolo contendere in return for punish

ence in the recent case of the win

as he announced at the time. In that
case he had rejected the proposal to
plead nolo contendere, but the court
granted it, and let the window glass

sham is resolved to put somebody In
Jail, and this seems to be good

seem to realize as much.
There is a civil proceeding pending
against the combination and some
thirty.seven individuals are under in

popular with only a few. The debu.
tantes OF last season were feted TO
such an extent that In many cases
their health failed and they were
compelled TO spend the summer at
various resorts devoted to the rest
cure.
But this season they have not only
changed all that as far as they are
concerned, bu they have whispered a
word Of warning and wisdom into the
ears OF their younger sisters. with
the result that hostesses find II
necessary to fix their dinner and
dance hours much earlier than for
many years.
Miss Helen Taft Is said TO be tho
promulgator OF the early hour cam.

SHEEHAN WILLING
TO SUCCEED
DEPEW
Former Lieutenant Governor
Would Be U. S. Senator
TELLS WHERE HE STANDS
Favors Bona Eide Revision of Tariff
believes in Spirit of Demo-
cratic Platform

New York, Dec. 30-Willlam F.
Sheehan made formal announcement
OF his candidacy for the United States
Senate last-nlght in a letter addressed
to Mayor Louis P. Thurman Of Buffalo
who with other prominent Buffalo
Democrats, recently endorsed Mr..
Sheehan for the seat which will be-
come vacant when the term Of Sena-
tor Depew expires, March 4, 1911.
In defining his attitude toward pub
lie questions Mr. Sheehan declares
his belief in the latter and spirit Of
the platform adopted at the last DEM
ocratic convention. He urges that
whomsoever the Democratic party
chooses for SENATOR his usefulness as
a public officer be not weakened by
unjust criticism during his candidacy.
He declares himself in favor OF a
bona fde downward revision Of the
tarlh and goes on to say.
Trusts and combinations that con.
troll the necessaries of life and in.
crease the cost Of living are largely
the result Of excessive protective du-
ties. Before long We shall have ju-
dicial Interpretation by our highest
court as to the extent to which COM
binations Of capital may go. For the
immediate present that momentous
question has been removed from the
domain of politics. II when the de-
cision comes It is necessary that Con-
sress shall further legislate, shall,
If a member of that body, approach
the solution of the question in the
spirit of the broadest patriotism, with
no master to direct and no purpose
to serve except the welfare of our
common country"
Mr.. Sheehan says that though he
reioices in the worldwide effort to
bring about universal peace, until
this time comes he would heed the
old saying Put your trust in God
and keep your powder dry"

ARGUING THE TlME.LocK
Another Letter From (. j. Hall on
the Subject.

Editor Of the Banner:-In your
leading editorial today you say.-"An-
other argument put forward by Mr..
Hall is that It was a provision made
by the founders of the state. He is
mistaken in this view. The fathers
Of our state put no time-lock into
our constitution. 1t was not put
there until the state was almost a
century old"
II | am mistaken I must abide by
my mistake. The fore-fathers of this
commonwealth and founders of our
constitution did put in a time-lock
when they provided In Section 43
that a council of censors should be
chosen in 1893 and every seven years
thereafter who should sit for one
year and might call a constitutional
convention to meet at any time with
In two years after such sitting. This
provided a time.lock OF nearly the
same duration as that now existing
and continued until amendment 25
was promulgated by the constitutions
al convention of 1870, providing for
the present ten year period.
Yours sincerely,
