This was the second offense,
and on the warrant Attorney Car
nahan for the city had endorsed
that $50 bail should be put up.
1t was never done. however. The
police department let him go on
his own recognizance. Later
Pickerell came in and wanted the
bail reduced to $25.
Carnahan asked Chief Malony
about il, and Mallory said that
was all right, so the bail was re-
duced to $25. The case was tn
come up yesterday, but of course
Pickerell did not appear. He
simply let the $25 so, and went
back to his place free.
No one seems able to tell why
his bail was reduced on the sec
ond offense to the same figure as
the first. No one seems able to
tell either why a bench warrant ia
not issued to bring him into court
and compel him to answer.
Stole Electricity.
Pickerell is the same man who
was caught stealing electric cur
rent from the city last fall. A
hole had been drilled through the
meter and a wire put In to pre-
vent IL running. How much cur
rent he had stolen from the city
no one knows, but his place used
lot of light.
The mutilated meter was taken
to the city attorneys office and
the attorneys were asked what
could be done. They were told
that when Lauzon was in he prose-
cuted such cases.
That was the last the attorneys
ever heard of 1t.
The. city lost the price of the
current stolen, and Pickerell went
free, and the city put in another
meter for him.
Those who knew of this case
could not understand what kind of
a pull he had with the commits
sioner of light and power, and
now they do not understand what
kind of pull he has with Roys
and the police department.
A lot of poor fellows out of Jobs
who had no work and no money
have been burdened in police
court with fines and jail SELL
tences because they had no visible
means of support, since Pickerell
was arrested. ~
But Pickerell is rich and rides
in his automobile. while the poor
jobless workingman does time.
A meeting of the Billiard and
Poolroom association was schedul-
ed for this afternoon at 3 o'clock
at which time it was thought that
Pickerels case would be consid-
cred.

Columbus Day

Those in favor of the Columbus
day bill which is to come up in the
house tomorrow for final passage,
are very hopeful as the bill passed
the senate by vote of 81 to 10.
Practically no opposition has
arisen and indications are that the

the two latest states to set aside
Columbus day as one OF general

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
WASHINGTON, d. c., March 2.
On authority from the White
House of a person close to the
president, the United Press is able
to unqualiliedly announce today
that only the passage of the Cana
dian reciprocity agreement Will
present an extra session of con-
gress.
President Taft understands that
the report is being circulated that
he will be satisfied If he gets a
vote on reciprocity, even If the
proposition is defeated. 1t is stat
ed authoritatively in contradiction
of this that no compromise will
be acceptable as President Taft
feels that he has the power TO get
the passage of the agreement.

Two members Of Congress will cele-

Robert Jackson Gamble. Senator
from South Dakota. is sixty years old
to-day. He is a native of the State OF
Wisconsin, and he is graduate from
Lawrence University, Appleton, Wis.
In 1909 that institution honored itself

The other birthday child is Repre-
sentative Daniel Franklin Lafean, Of
York Pa. who reaches the half CEN
tury mark to-day. He also is of the
Republican persuasion. which is not
to be wondered at when it is con-
sidered that he represents a Pennsyl-

BILL TO PROTECT
SOLDIERS UNIFORM
Enlisted Men Must Not Be
Disseminated Against.

Punishment in the shape Of a 500 fine
will soon await individuals who heap
dis shonor anc indignity upon the uniform
of Uncle Sans armed forces by barring
persons who wear it from public places
of entertainment in the District of Co
lumbia. The Senate Committee on the
Judiciary yesterday authorized a favor
able report on bill. already passed by
the House, whereby vengeance is meted
out to the proprietor, manager. or en-
rloye of any theater or other public
Place ofIentertainment in the District of
Columbia and the several territorial pos
sessions of the United States who dis
criminate against any person lawfully
wearing the uniform of the army, navy.
or Marine Corps.
The House provision for the imposition
Of fine Of 81. 600 or imprisonment not ex-
ceeding two years was modified by the
Senate committee. The bill will pass
the Senate providing merely for 500
fine.
There have been several instances IN
Washington where proprietorS of certain
theatcrS and other amusement places
have objected to the entry OF uniformed
men of the military service, and have
been able to bar them from admission.
although the individuals met every re-
Tuirement as to gentility and good de-
mean"r In each reported instance, the
Indignation Of the public has been
aroused. but complaints to the police
were useless. owing to the absence of
any statute requiring that no discrim-
ination be made against uniformed men.
Armed with Federal authority. after the
proposed statute is enacted. the police
will have the power to make things ex-
ceedinsly uncomfortable for the Wash
ington theater proprietor who excludes
soldiers, sailors and marines from places
where the general public is admitted.
The operation of the statute is to be
confined to the localities directly under
the control of the Federal government,
it being considered that similar regula-
tions elsewhere are matters of State
authority.

MAKES IT POSSIBLE
TO PUNISH SPIES
Bill introduced by Hobson
Provides a Penalty.

If the Senate concurs and the President
approves bill passed by the House yes
terday. it will be hazardous for any one
in the future to disclose secrets bearing
on the defenses of the United States. The
measure provides that spies detected in
making photographs or collecting infor-
nation respecting the national defenses in
the United States proper or in the insular
possessions shall be fined not more than
year. or both.
This is the penalty that will apply in
the case of person who goes upon any
vessel or enters any navy yard, naval
station. or, other work of national de-
fense with hostile intent to the govern
ment. For disseminating Information SO
collected to any foreign government or
to any agent of foreign government
the spy is to be imprisoned for a period
of ten years.
This bill WAS introduced by Represent
ative Hobson. of Alabama. and will ur-
doubtedly become a law. 1t has the ap-
proval of the government. In fact, it is
understood that it was introduced at the
instance of the War Department authori-
ties.
Complaint has been made for many
years that spies have been busy ins the
Philippines and other Eastern posses
sons. They were frequently detected at
their work. An examination of the stat
uteS disclosed that there was no penalty
for such d crime committed in time of
peace. 1t was to correct this state of
affairs that the HobSon bill was intro
duced.
