REBUKES JURY FOR VERDICT.
Judge Returns Jimmy" to Burglar
Who is Acquitted.

CHICAGO, Jan. 22.-Judge Marcus
kavanaugh, caused a sensation in the
criminal court building when he or
dered the return Of a Jimmy" TO u
professional burglar and former con-
vict, who had just been acquitted by
jury, despite the fact that he had
been caught with the goods" the
court said.
The prisoner was Thomas flanagan,
with a double prison record. Part of
the stolen proceeds were found in his
room, and with a stolen butcher knife
he put up desperate resistance
against arrest. After adjourning
court Judge Kavanaugh, still angry,
made a statement in chambers.
1T has become almost impossible
to convict a burglar, murderer, bandit,
highwayman or any sort of criminal
in Chicago he said. The criminal
may be identified in the most positive
manner; caught with the stolen goods
in his possession; he may be :Crmer
convict with a criminal record yard
long, and the eIlLenCo against him
may be absolutely conclusive, yet
juries will not convict. 1t Is the get
ting worse and worse. It makes my

hinG was adopted by the English par
lament.
Denmark, Switzerland, Sweden
AMI Norway are all now considering
various forms of compulsory acCi
dent insurance and olc age pensions
Marcus A. Hanna, the brightest
statesman Of the Republican party Of
the latter days, forced an old age
pension plan into the Republican ma
tiOnal platform of 1900. But the
plank was quietly dropped by those
who succeeded Hanna in the leader
ship OF the Republican party.
1t Is ridiculous to claim that such
system would encourage Incidence
and make paupers of the workers
The average wage of the American
workman is less than $3.50 a year.
His earning ability begins to decline
with the age of As. Some railroads
set even lower limit. And, as a rule
the CapG,itv for earning livelihood,
ceases at the age OF 60.
How is a man, especially If he has
large family and workingmen
usually serve their country also by
bringing up a family-to save a com
pelence for his old age out OF an
average wage Ol p1Ou pei ahhuLh'
Moreover. We have to take care OF
onr old disabled workmen, anyway
either through charity Of the poor
house, both of which are degrading
and costly-or by means OF an hon
orable pension, which is the cheap
est method in the end.
Furthermore, the lifework OF the
wage Garner in the factory, mine or
steamship and so forth, is more dam
gerous than that OF a soldier-and is
infinitely more useful.
There are more men killed and dis
abled in. the mines and factories and
the railroads every year than were
killed and disabled during any yea"
CT the civil war.
Therefore, even from the stand
point of risk, the workman, the SOL
dier OF the common veal, who works
and dies for the country. ought to be
fully as much entitled to a pension
as the soldier Of the common foe.

In that little house in the distance

claiming that they could not pay 1t
and compete with Rockefeller's

part OF the state.
The miners laid down their picks
and walked out. The strike was on.
And now a strange thing happened.

LIFTS VEIL OF MYSTERY
IN DEATH OF OCEY SNEAD
Counsel Says Mrs. Martin Gave Vic
tim Morphine To Relieve Pain
and She Died In Bath Tub.

NEWARK, N. j., Jan. 23.-The
manner In which Mrs. Ocey w. VI.
Snead met her death in the bathtub
of an East Orange dwelling more than
a year ago, was disclosed for the first
time when counsel for Mrs. Caroline

appeared before Judge Ten Eyck. In
a anal argument for their client, who
recently pleaded non vult to charge
ow manslaughter in the killing OF
her daughter.
Her lawyers explained :hat Mrs.
Martin Frequently administered NOR
phine TO Mrs. Snead TO relieve her of
pains and that en- one occasion the
drug produced n state OF narcosis. In
this condition Mrs. Suead was placed
in the bath tub and the tub partial
" filed with water in an effort to
resuscitate her. Mrs. Snead died
while undergoing this treatment. To
shield herself, Mrs. Martins lawyers
said that she tried to make her daugh'
ter's appear to be suicide.

that most of the 16 were not on
the scene of the fist tight at all.
Bill Shows wife said he was home at
her bedside and helping care for
his big brood of children. Several
other men had as good a defense.
Two days before Christmas Judge
Whitford called the 16 men before
him.
"The evidence Is quite conflict

send you all to Jail for a year..
The case has been taken before
the supreme court of Colorado, bnt
OF course there's nothing doing there,
so far as relief for the imprisoned
breadwinners is concerned.
And now, with the leaders in jail
for a long term, the coal mine COM
panies rather expect that the strike
will break up.
In the meantime the policing OF
Lafayette has been taken from the
marshall and given over to the conf
panies' guards. Lafayette had al
ways been a clean town. No scarlet
women had ever been allowed to
stay in the town. The mine owners
brought strikebreaking thugs, and
then opened their huge stockades to
the most abandoned women OF
Denver's slum.

noted "gun-toters," and they swag-
ger through the streets real rulers
OF the community.

owners are going to lift the price
of coal to the consumer another so

matte plan Of persuasion to induce
the strikebreakers to desert the
mines.
The owners imported guards to
keep the strikers away from the
strkebreakers. But there were many
desertions. The miners stood firm.
Many of them own the little cottages
in which they live, others had little
savings laid by. The organization
helped to the full extent Of it's re-
sources.
The coal mining managers were
stumped. Meeting after meeting
was held, but every plan fell through.
Finally 1t was decided that the strike
must be broken in some way at all
hazards. The problem was: What
Is the hardest blow We can deliver
at the miners organization?"
Just about this time 1t occurred
to some company official that the
right kind of a Judge would be q
mountain OF help in breaking up
that strike. Happy thought!
Lafayette is situated in Boulder
CO and is some twenty-five miles
away from Denver. Now, Boulder
co has its regular officials, sheriffs,
peace officers, courts. But 1t seems
that 1t did not have the right kind
of Judge, for suddenly the news
came from Denver, % miles away.
that Judge Greeley Whitford OF
that city had issued an injunction
Upon request of the mine owners,
restraining as many strikers as the
companies could think Of from do
ing anything in public except
breathing and praying. Added to
the names of the strikers was
every other person" which meant
that everybody in the mining dis
trict was enjoined and that Judge
Whitford became absolute ruler Of
the coal mining camps, rs miles
away from his own city.
He enjoined everybody whomso-
ever from interfering with, hinder
ing, obstructing, or stopping" any
OF the strikebreakers; from tres
passing, from posting pickets, from
eongregating together on the ar
rival or departure OF trains: from
using cards, signs, banners or
badges calculated to intimidate any
employe."
Two days later there was a fist
! fight in the street OF this town

three strikebreakers started the

IL was enough. The dragnet was

G. O. P. LEADERS OPPOSED TO
EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS
Say consested Calendar viii Be
Cleared Up When Present
Session Ends.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-When Re-
| publican leaders In congress are ask
ed If there Is likely to be an extra ses-
sion because of the congested condi-
| ton Of the calendar in both branches,
| they invariably answer in the mega
tive. They insist, in spite OF the extra
| session gossip, that the present short
| session Is not iammed more than was
the short session two years ago, so
far as appropriation bills are con-
cerned.
Comparison Of the two sessions
proves the truth of the leaders asser-
tion. Already the house has passed
the Indian, rivers and harbors, pen.
sions, legislative, urgent deficiency
and army appropriation bills, and Is
nearly through with the postofice bill.
Two years ago at this time the house
had passed only the pensions, legis-
lative, District Of Columbia and naval
bills
1t Is true that the senate has passed
only the urgent deficiency bill, but
two years ago at the same time onl7
the legislative bill had been passed.
Senate leaders are not disturbed by
the situation. Two years ago % big
appropriation bills were passed In the
last four weeks Of the session.
Some senator's believe there has
been no effort made to prevent con-
gestion, and that appropriation bills
have been delayed to kill of general
legislation. 1t would surprise no one

(copyrieht 1911 BY the United Press

We have in our platform plank
which reads as follows:
To enact law granting to
every wage Garner over 60 years
OF age, who has earned less than
$1,000 a var and has been a Citi-
zen Of the United States for l6
years, a pension of not less than
$l2 month during the rest Of
his or her life.

introduce will treat this subject.
The ter mwage Garner means q
woman as well as a man. 1t denotes
any person working for wages,
whether a clerk, stenographer. hired
Gr! or washerwoman, or railroad
engineer, typesetter or bookkeepe".
Under our plan there will be not
