TWO GOOD BILLS.

Two important measures are pend.
ing IN the Illinois general assembly

poses penalties upon "the practice &.
procuring and inducing persons I'M
prisoned or under arrest, or accused
or suspected of commission Of crime.
to make confessions of guilt"
The former bill was introduced by
Senator Bailey and is in tine hands
of the Judiciary committee. 1t is in
every respect fair and ought to be
favored by every publisher or editor
in the state, who has a proper sense
of his responsibility 20 the public and
to persons. The bill imposes penal
ties not only upon newspaper men
who publish false reports with ma
licious intent to injure some one:
but \ imposes penalty also upon
those who give any statement for
publication that is not true for the
purpose OF injuring some one. This
latter section will be especially well
Gomez by newspaper men for tney
are not infrequently made victims OF
false reports by persons who seek to
use tine newspaper as a means of
satisfying grudge against some one
or perpetrating what they consider a
Joke.
The bill does not seek to muzzie
the newspapers in the presentation Of
the truth, or the discussion or mat
tiers for the public good. recognizing
the mission OF the newspaper as a
sforal force ia public affairs, when
II declares that "the publication is

SUE KAISER FOR $40, 600, 900.
Claim Based on Gift of Estate BY
Frederick the Great.

BERLIN. June Z, 1911.
An action has been commenced in the
German courts by the descendants of the
famous Russian Gen. Muennich, to re-
cover the sum Of 10000 900 from the EN-
peror William as King of Prussia. The
claim Is based on the gift Of an estate to
Gen. Muennich by Frederick the Great as
a reward for his share In bringing about
the treaty between Russia and Prussia.
The general himself refused to accept the
were later handed to his son.
During the Punishment Of the Muen-
nichs, which lasted twenty years. doubts
seem to have arisen as to the ownership
Of the estate in question. and they do not
appear to have been finally allayed by
the arbitration decision given by Fred
erick the Great in favor of the younger
Muennich. in 1865.
In 1913 the claim Of the Muennich fam
lily was preached automatically by the
Russian ambassador at Berlin. but the
Prussian foreign minister. Haugwitz. re-
piled that his government could not admit
its validity. Some fifty years later q de-
scendart of the general. who was chief
court marshal to the Duke OF Oldenburg,
managed to interest that prince in the
business. and secured q prOnouncement
from Frederick William w to the effect
that the disputed estate had reverted to
the Prussian crown in virtue of the act
OF Punishment. 1t is understood. however.
that the present claimants have collected
much fresh material for the substantial
ton Of their case.

FIRST FREE LUNCH.
Idea Originated During the Civil
War.

From the WATERFOWL IN. " Standard
To Ned" Mather. native of this city.
and man who spent his declining years
here, is given credit for originating the
idea OF free lunches. He inaugurated the
first free lunch in Baltimore and Balti-
more historians place the year at either
1865 or 1868. The front bar at Barnum' 5
Hotel in Baltimore. where the quality
folks gathered, Is where, it is said to
have originated.
For the old regulars who patronized the
place. Mather. the bartender, did every
thing for their comfort, and often went
out of his way to invent little things to
make IL more pleasant He is said TO
have been a bartender of the highest and
noblest type. and he contributed largely
to the fame of Barnum's as a place of
hospitality.
One day Mather conceived the idea of
free lunch in the place. and sent word to
the kitchen to ascertain from the cook
what she had cooked that day in which
she felt particular pride. The cook sent
back word that the Smithfield ham was
worthy to tickle the palate Of king.
Mather ordered her to make up some
came they found these spread on a table
and declared Mather a philanthropist of
the most useful and praiseworthy type.
Up to that time all that there was of a
free lunch was a few crackers on the
bar. but no one ever thought of eating
them. The effect was instantly perceived,
and from all over the city came men who
wanted to see the new idea, so common
all over the country today.

DARING OF KIDNAPERS.

ODESSA, June S, 1911
The band of robbers and blackmail-
ers. headed by the notorious brigand
Peikrishwili, is again carrying on ac
tive operations In Transcaucasia, and
a recent case of kidnapping of a par
ticularly daring character has now be-
come known.
On Sunday evening a number of
men entered the residence of wealthy
locked all the doors and announced to
the inmates assembled in the dining
room that they had come to take away
the only son unless $4,000 was paid
over on the spot All the men were
armed and the family were absolutely
helpless against them. and as Aruzoff
had not so much money in the house
the robbers proceeded to bind and gag
the boy, telling the father before they
took his son away that unless he sent
the money to them at a certain place
within forty-eight hours the lad would
be killed after being tortured. while
II information were given to the police
they would take summary vengeance.
not only on the boy. but on all the
other members of the family
So terrified were the inmates of the
house that they kept the affair secret,
and when friends inquired after the
lad on the following day they were
told that he had been sent to some
relatives at Moscow Rumors of the
kidnapping. however, came to the ears
OF the police, who are now securing
the neighborhood.
Aruzoff has received a packet con-
tainfng portion of skin. but a doctor
who has examined this declares that II
is not human skin.
