Laughable Farce.

1t was a most laughable farce
which was pulled off Monday night un
der the auspices Of the Saturday
club ladies, and the audience was
kept IN an uproar much of the
time. The local character impaired
to the play by many quips on people
of the city was the cause of much
merriment.
Mrs. Angie Cook interested the
audience by her playing prior to the
going up of the curtain. Judge S.
n. Stevens acted his part to entire
satisfaction, and Frank Brooke was
thoroughly at home as clerk of the
court. Gene Marshall was sheriff
once more In real earnest and thor
oughly enjoyed himself looking after
the jury, especially in his request
FOR cork screw to assist them in
their decision Miss bessie Easter
day was court stenographer.
The jury consisted of such men as
Wm. n. Taft, alias C. A. Reeve,
VIM. Jennings Bryan. alias DR..
Hitchcock, Theodore Roosevelt, alias
John Bowel, Chauncy NJ. Depew,
alias A. C. North, Champ Clark,

Admiral Dewey, alias A. R. Under
wood, J. Pierport Morgan, alias
Frank Southworth, DR.. Frederick
Cook, alias VIM. Suit.
Before the trial proper, two cases
were disposed of, one of the State
against Hoy Singrey for over-exer.
tion. His attorney pleaded guilty
for him and he threw himself on the
mercy of the court, it being he said
his first offense and he promised
meyer to do so again. He was sen
fenced to the Julia E. Work train
ing school for life, at soft labor.
The other case was that of th'
State against L. G. Harley for eat
inc all the oysters at church sup
per. The affidavit was found in
sufficient because it was in the plur
al."oysters" where's the cour
had judicial knowledge of the fac
that there was never known to b
more than one oyster at a Plym
outh church supper.
In the trial the part of the plain
tiff was taken by Mrs. Julia Blair
and she made good actor and wit
ness. Witnesses in support of he

circuit court for the Eastern district OF
Tennessee, and Dan +. Elliotte, clerk
of the United States circuit court for
the Western district of Tennessee, have
legislated out of life positions by a bill

change it makes.
The practical effect of the law is to
abolish abolish all United States cir

ing earnestly considered for a

NO AGREEMENT WITH JAPs
MIR. Taft's Explanation That Mob
ilization Is For the Purpose of

Washington, March 11.-Mexico i'll

States or any other country for the pur.
pose of protecting the lives and prop.
erty of their citizens resident in Mexi.
co. In statement today Senior de
La Barra, Mexican ambassador to the
United States, declared that Mexico
believes herself fully competent to pro.
tect all interests in that country, not
only her own, but those of foreigners.
The statement made by the ambas.
sador follows:
''The conditions in Mexico are nor
NAL with the exception of small por-
ton of the state of Chilhauhau, where
little body of seditious men are car
rying on a guerrilla warfare that
hope will be ended in the near future.
"The Mexican government is fully
strong enough to protect properties
and lives ofits own countrymen and
those from foreign countries and to
maintain peace.
'sThe best element of Mexican ci,i-
zenship are in favor of maintaining
peace and order and that explains why
the seditious movement has been re-
duced to the guerrilla warfare in the
northern section of Chilhauhau. Re-
ports published about the growth of
the seditious movement have been ex-
agerated.
"The constitution of Mexico prohib-
its the government officials, whoever
they may be, to permit foreign troops
entering Mexican territory without
the consent of the senate. My govern
ment, patriotic and strong, never has
and never will tain such an idea
or thought with respect to the United
States because the relations between
the two countries are very sincere and
frank and the policies of the two gov
ernments are founded in the sentiment
of siucere friendship and of respect
FOR Justice"

FAMILIES Of EIGHT As
ANTID0TE FOR DM0RCE

Washington, March 1t.-''In Amer

spectacle for a woman to have chill
dren. Our dive rec courts will be fill
ed, our married women will be advo.
eating trial marriage and finally no
marriage ceremony at all until we go
back to a large family"
This is the answer of Mrs. Belva
Lockwood, Washington's veteran wo-
man lawyer, to the plan advocated by
Mrs. Harriet Holt Dey, of New Nork
for seVen-year marriage leases.
"Familes of eight would be the most
effective antidote we could administer
to the divorce evil. Modern society
women do more to disrupt the Amer
lean home than any other factor Of
modern life. No woman ought to be
permitted to marry who intends to re-
fuse to rear family. The idea of a
marriage lease is idiotic."

was asked.
" Well,' be replied, Il guess the
old Molly Mcclure case. You
know the Molly Mcclure society
was formed in one of the dark coal
regions of Pennsylvania and proba-
bly, perpetrated more outrages on
the community than any other band
of murderers and thieves in the
world. We worked on this case
and when we had finished twenty
I'seven people were hanged and nine
ty sent to the penitentiarY. This
absolutely determinated the gang.
Another case of ours that attracted
world divide fame was the recovery
of the Gainsborough portrait of the
| Duchess of Devonshire. We recov-
cred this portrait twenty-five years
after it had been stolen.
You will remember" said Mr..
Pinkerton, this picture was cut
from the frame. We recovered the
picture in Chicago, it had been
stolen by gang headed by Adam
Worth. After we recovered the
picture and returned it to its owners,
it was bought for $22s,ooo by j.
Pierpont Morgan.
Another one of our famous
cases in which James McParlan
made the arrest, was that of Harry
Orchard, the man who killed Coy
ernor Steunenberg, of Idaho. This
murder was the sole result of labor
organization, pure and simple, said
Mr.. Pinkerton.
A case of later date we worked
on was the DIR. Crippen case. We
furnished all the evidence from this
side on that case and received let
ter from the London police, which
stated that but for the evidence and
witnesses we sent forward they ney-
er would have been able to convict
DR.. Crippen.
BY the way" said Mr.. Pinker-
ston, " do you remember the Harvey
Logan case, where a Montana train
was robbed of 5000 of unsigned
bills and later Logan was captured
by the Nashville police but got away
from them in an ice wagon and was
later arrested in Knoxville and got
out of there by some sort of way. 1t
always looked sort of shady to me
the way Logan got away from the
Knoxville authorities.
Well, we Ereceived word not
long ago that Logan and two of his
pals, Harry Longbough, alias Sun
Dance Jim" and Butch Cassity
were in the Argentine Republic.
The three have committed so many
depredations down there that the
Argentine government has asked
Uncle Sam to come to their rescue. >
MIR. Pinkerton said that there was
always a cloud of mystery thrown
about the life of detective but
there was no use in it, that they
were just plain, ordinary business
men. Mr.. Pinkerton travels from
coast to coast and is just on one of
his annual inspection tours.
