S SYNOPSIS.

Howard Jeffries, bankers son, under
the evil influence Of Robert Underwood,
q fcllow-student at Yale, leads a life OF
dissipation. marries the daughter of a
gambler who died in prison. and is dis
owned by his father. He tries to get work
and fails. \ former college chum makes
a business proposition to Howard which
requires 5000 cash, and Howard is broke.
Robert Underwood. who had been re-
pulsed by Howard's wife, Annie, in his
college days, and had once been engaged
to Alicia Howards stepmother, has
apartments at the Astruria, and is ap-
parently in prosperous circumstances.
Howard recalls a $3.50 loan to underwood,
that remains unpaid and decides to as k
him for the 5000 he needs. Underwood,
taking advantage of his intimacy with
Mrs. Jeffries, Sr., becomes sort of social
highwayman. Discovering his true char
acter she denies him the house.

savory. Charges of graft have been
made against him time and time
again, but so far nothing has been
proved To-day he IS a man of wealth
on comparatively small salary. Do
you suppose his money could have
come to him honestly?"
In another corner of the salon
stood DR.. Bernstein, the celebrated
psychologist, the center of an excited
crowd of enthusiastic admirers.
Alicia approached a group of chat
tering women. Each was more elab-
orately dressed than her neighbor,
and loaded down with rare gems.
They at once stopped talking as their

We can't. No sooner is one case dis

this country is that we have too
much law If l were to be guilty of
an epigram l would say that the coun-
try has so much law that it is prac-

so you're preparing another case,
eh?" said Mr.. Jeffries, interested.
What is it-a secret?"
ooh, mol" answered the lawyer,
the newspapers will be full of it in
a day or two. We are going to bring
suit against the city. It's really a
test case that should interest every
citizen; protest against the high
handed actions of the police"
The banker elevated his eyebrows.
Indeed" he exclaimed. What
have the police been doing now?"
The lawyer looked at his client in
surprise.
"Why, my dear sir, you must have
seen by the papers what's been going
on in our city of late. The papers
have been full of it, Police brutality,
illegal arrests, assaults in station

OFFICER MUST GO TO PRISON
Pardon Denied Constable Burns OF
Coriiss, Sentenced to Waupun on
Charge OF Larceny as Bailee.

Racine.-Judge Belden in circuit
court has denied the application for
pardon of Thomas j. Burns of Cor
liss, who must serve one year in the
state penitentiary for larceny as
bailee.
Burns, who is one of the best
known men in the county, has served
as constable at Corliss for years. In
April, 1909, a roll OF money, amount
ing to $400 or $500 was turned
over to him after it had been thrown
away by Paul Adamaski of Two
Rivers, who left train at that place
laboring under the delusion that he
was about to be robbed
Adamaski's relatives alleged that
Burns returned only 5000 of the
amount entrusted to him and brought
suit. Burns was convicted of larceny
as bailee and sentenced to one year
in state prison. Petitions for Burns
pardon were signed by hundreds of
his townsmen, lawyers, and even
eight of the jurors who convicted
aim.
A peculiar feature of the case is
that Burns was reelected constable
of the village in April and on the
same day it was learned that the
supreme court had denied his appeal
for a rehearing.

EXPLOSION OF GAS PLANT NEAR
TOWN OF WAUWAToSA DE-

TWO OTHERS ARE INJURED
Henry Vogel Meets Instant Death
and His Son, Nicholas, and Hired
Man Are Badly Residence
Is Torn to Pieces.

Wauwatosa. - Henry Vogel was
killed and his son Nicholas and a
hired man, John jacob, were injured
in an explosion which wrecked the
home of the Vogel family, two miles
west of Wauwatosa, when the acety-
lene lighting plant in the cellar ex-
ploded.
The upper half of Mr.. Vogel's head
was torn off, he was buried under the
plaster torn from the walls, and his
hired man was thrown unconscious
across him when the explosion tore
to pieces the farmers home.
Mr. Vogel was so years old. His
wife, who is Sc years old, had stepped
out of the house and was on her way
to the barn with her son Jacob when
the lighting plant blew up.
The terrific conclusion rocked the
neighborhood, being felt in this city.
The lights had been burning poorly
and the son, Nicholas, had gone to
the cellar door to see what was the
trouble He opened the door, smelled
the fumes of the gas and. realizing
that something was amiss, slammed
the door, hoping to avert the explo-
sion. As The door closed, the explo-
sion came. The house, said to be one
of the finest farm homes in this sec
ton, is a complete wreck.
