Cows must have good care and
comfortable surroundings If they are

great problem in connection with the
stable is to keep It warm and well rem
tilsted at the same time. Pure air is
just as necessary to the COW as food.
Sunlight is another essential. Dark

Capt. Clinton, your direct object is to

The chief looked aggrleved.

Turning to his sergeant, he asked:
"Have I, Maloney?"
"But these sensation mongers

"But what do l gain?" demanded the
captain with affected innocence.

Judge Brewster stopped and laid
down his eyeglasses.
"Ah, that is precisely the point Of
view we take in this matter! Now,
captain, in the present case, on the
night Of the confession did you show
young Mr.. Jeffries the pistol with

Capt. Clinton screwed up his eyes

Suddenly the door opened and Capt.
Clinton appeared, followed by his fidus

Both men were in plain clothes. The

Of his own position that he had little

began:

calmly. you were instrumental in OBJ
tanning a confession from him. I'm
raising a question al to the truth Of
that confession"
There was q sudden interruption
caused by the entrance Of the butler,
who approached his master and whis-
pered something to him. Aloud the
Judge said:
ASK her to wait till we are ready"
The servant retired and Capt. Clin-
ton turned to the judge. With mock
difference, he said:
"Say, Mr.. Brewster, you're a great
constitutional lawyer-the greatest in
this country-and l take off my hat to
you, but don't think criminal law
is IN your line"
Judge Brewster pursed his lips and
his eyes flashed as he retorted
quickly:
II don't think it's constitutional to
take a mans mind away from him
and substitute your own, Capt. Gin
ton"
what do you meanr" demanded
the chief.
II mean that instead Of bringing out
Of this man his own true thoughts OF
innocence, you have forced into his
consciousness your own false thoughts
Of his guilt"
The judge spoke slowly and delib-
erately, making each word tell. The
police bully squlrmed uneasily on his
chair.
II don't follow you, Judge. Better
stick to international law. This police
court work is beneath you"
Perhaps 1t u.s." replied the lawyer
quickly without losing his temper.
Then he asked: Captain, will you an

ly, "ITl ask them through the me-

one or two yellow journals you in
spire, but the independent, dignifed
press Of the United States"
The captain Redeemed.
II don't like the insinuation, Judge"
Il don't insinuate, Capt. Clinton"
went on the lawyer severely, Il accuse
you of giving an untruthful version of
this matter to two sensational news
papers in this city. These scurrilous
sheets have tried this young mar in
their columns and found him guilty,
thus prejudicing the whole community
against him before he comes to trial.
In no other country in the civilized
world would this be tolerated, except
in . country ov~erburdened with free
DOM"
Capt. Clinton laughed boisterously.
The early bird catches the worm"
he grinned. "They asked me for In
formation and got It,"
Judge Brewster went IN:
"You have SO prejudiced the com.
munity against him that there is
scarcely a man who doesn't believe
him guilty. II this matter ever comes

diced jury? Added to this foul in1us-

RECIPROCITY
NOT YET"
House Committee Fails to
Agree on Pulp and
Paper.


Washington, Feb. 10.-Aftcr a spir-
tied session of two hours, the house
committee on ways and means today
failed to reach an agreement on the
Canadian reciprocity bill.
The only obstacle was the wording
of the wood pulp and print paper
clause. Two possible methods Of
framing this clause are open. The
first would provide more wood pulp
and print paper may come in the Uni
ted States free at once from the prl-
vate timber lands of Canada. but that
American paper bound into Canada
shall be subject to the Canadian duty.
The second would retain the Amcri-
can duty until all provincial export
restrictions are removed.
Another meeting will be held to-
morrow.

INDICTMENTS
At QUEEN CITY
Five Indicted on Fraudulent
Charges.
BY United Press Wire.
(RIILEllN)

Cincinnati, Feb lO--Thc grand
jury probe of public contracts in
Cincinnati, resulted Friday in the re-
turn of indictments against public
service directors John IL. Sundmaker
and City Engineer II. L. Shiplcy, for
fraud by superintendent of Public
Works; August j. Henkel and Conrad
Henkel, for fraud as contractors of
public works. and w. w. Coney Of
the Moores- Coney company, for aid
tors on public work.
The information on which the grand
jury bases its indictments developed
from the examination of witnesses as
to the conditions of the Reading road
contract. Revelations which had been
made previously in civil actions in
connection with the Reading road
contract were taken up and probcd
by the grand jury.
The indictments themselves are
drawn under section l2,9lS, which
provides penalty or from one 10 five
years sentence in the pcnitcntiary
for either AN official IN charge Of pub
lie work or a contractor entrusted
with public work who permits work
to be done, or themselves do the work
on the contract in any manner other
than that required by the specihca-
tions.
In the previous hearings Of protests
by Avondalc citizens against the
work on Reading road, IT developed
that A. j. Henkel and brother who
had the contract We're using Struthers
Stag cement instead of the Portland
cement required by specifications.
According to testimony of experts,
all persons who are at all informed
ON public contract work know thal
the StrIthers cement Is "a Stag ana
not u standard Portland cement. II
was shown that the use of 1t by A.
j. Henkel and Brother was direct
violation of the requirements of the
specifications. 1t was further brought
out that City Engineer Shipley had
permitted the use Of Struthers cement
and approved that portion of the con-
tract ON which 1t had been used.
Shlpley Is under service director
Sundmaker and subject to his orders
ana the grand jury in fixing the re-
sponsibility has returned charges
against both the city engineer ana
his superior officer.
