And Magistrate House Hits at Judge
for Freeing Confessed Thief.

young man giving his name as Adolph
Unger was held in sl,5o0 bail for trial by
Magistrate House in jefferson Market
court Yesterday afternoon on the charge of
stealing an overcoat in Childs's restaurant,
No. AZ East 14th street. The coat was the
pI operty of customer Of the restaurant.
The prisoner told Magistrate House that
he was under probation now. having
pleaded guilty to stealing "A gold watch and
chain and being allowed 10 go under pro-
baton by Judge Grain in the Court OF
General Sessions.
Well it's no wonder this city is over
run with thieves when the judges let con
fessed thieves out on probati tion 10 ply their
stealing" said Magistrate House. You
simply changed your methods-instead Of
stealing watches you went to stealing over
coats. Although this charge is petty lar
ceny. | am going 10 hold YOU in $1,000 for
trial.
"Oh. I'll get that all right" said the pris-
oner with a sneer.
"On, il is an easy matter for you 10 get
s! ZOO bail, is it," remarked the magistrate.
We'll, | will just make 1t S,5oO; but I sup
pose you can get that. too

ANOTHER L0RIMER INQUIRY
La Toilette Introduces Resclu-
ton, Naming Committee.

Washington April G.-Sena,or La FOR
lette introduced resolution to-day pro-
viding for another investigation Of the
Lorimer case. 1t names as the members
Of the investigating committee senators
Works. of California; Townsend. OF
Michigan. Mclean, o. Connecticut; Kern
Of Indiana. and Pomcrcnc Of Ohio NO ac-
tion was taken, as Mr.. La Toilette INTENDS
to speak on the resolution.
After reviewing the action OF the Senate
at the last session of Congress. when the
effort to unseat Senator Lorimer failed. the
resolution says:
1t appears from the published reports o1
the proceedings of the SAID Illinois state
Senate Committee that witnesses VINO were
not called and sworn by the committee or
this Senate appointed 10 invest gate SAID
charaes have appeared before the said COM
mttee of the Illinois State Senate, ana
upon being interroSated, nave gwen I'M
portant material testimony, tending 10
prove that SloO 900 was corrupuy expended
10 secure the election Of William l.o1lmer
TO the United States Senate.
The resolution also pro cIdes for meetings
of the committee during sessions of the
Senate and gives it full authority to sub
ppna witnesses, send for papers and ad-
minister oaths.
IL is expected that the adoption OF the
resolution will be opposed by Senators who
voted for Senator Lorimer last session, and
that an effort will be made to haye the
resolution referred To the committee on
Privileges and Elections. OF which Sfnator
Dillingham;, of Vermont. will he thf new
chairman. The Vermont Senator as 4
member of the committee. voted la2t ses-
sion against the resolution To unsoat Mr
Lorimer.
Never before in the history Of the senate
has an individual member sought to name
the members Of committee TO investigate
the right Of a Senator 10 retain his seat
or for any other purpose. When "pecia'
committees have been named for any pu7-
pose the appointments have been made hy
the Vice-President or by the Senate itself
In the latter instance the committees d.
WAYS have been subcommittee of stanG-
ing committees.
All the men named IN the La Folle;;e
resolution began their terms i'm the Senate
at the present special session 1t is un-
derstood that they were selected at con
fererce of Progressive Senator'S.
Senator Stone. of Missouri. predicted at
the White House to-day that the Senate
would he compelled to investigate for the
second time the charges OF bribery in Lori
mer's election. Mr. Stone believes that
new investigation committee will be APP
pointed.
The testimony in the legislative invesu-
cation in Springfield is so ugly he said,
that II seems TO me that Congress must
take notice of il. and if | am not mis-
taken the Senate will take some action. Tie
proprieties of the situation might influence
the Senate to wait until the Illinois inves-
iipation is fnished. Testimony produced in
Springfield undoubtedly would be brought

In this telephone service. What |
want now is to find out the telephone
number of Mrs. John Smith-S-m-i-t-h,
Smith. l find that there are more
than 100 persons of that name in the
book, and l don't know which one is
the husband Of the lady want. She
is large lady with florid face and
prematurely white hair, and think
her husband is travelling man, and
a brother-inlaw of hers, named Jones,
lives somewhere on M street-a stout
ish, elderly gentleman with side whis-
kers. Kindly let me have Mrs. Smiths
number at once. had 1t on slip
Of paper that l can't find. Seems to
me it was two-four-sixteen ring three,

Red Gross chrlstma. se.Ie.

A statement denying the recent re-
ports about the abandonment of the
Red Cross Christmas seal s,le has
been issued by the National Associa-
ton for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis. The statement declares
that not only will the sale be held
this year, as in the past three years,
but that it will be conducted on broad
er lines than ever before. The only
order issued by the postoffice depart
ment which bears on the sale of Red
Cross seals was sent out on July 1,
and prohibits the use of the mails to
letters and packages bearing nom
postage stamps on the face, and also
to any mail bearing seals which re-
semble postage stamps, If used either
on the face or back. The Red Cross
seal to be used this year has been
submitted to the postofice depart
ment and approved. and thus may be
used, but only on the back of letters
and packages. The design to be used
this year depicts pretty winter scene
embossed in a heavy red circle. The
corners are white, thus giving the ef-
feet when affixed to a letter or a
package Of round seal.

Cost of Raising Wheat,

Including the item of rent, the cost
of raising wheat in the year 1909
was estimated by the department of
agriculture at 66 cents a bushel; the
cost of raising corn was 3S cents a
bushel, and the cost Of raising oats
was 81 cents a bushel. These figures
are probably a reasonable statement
of fact where the three grains are
successfully grown. The average
wheat fields were SO acres; corn
fields, 30 acres. and average oat
fields, rs acres. The wheat cost the
farmer to raise it $11.15 per acre:
the corn, $12.17 per acre, and the
oats, 1901 per acre. On the selling
basis Of IS cents bushel on farms.
the wheat showed profit of $3.50
per acre; on the selling basis of 81
cents a bushel on farms, the corn
showed a profit Of 1882 per acre; on
the basis Of 40 cents a bushel at the
farm, the oats showed a profit Of
SALT per acre. These are the figures
Of 1909. Today there is considerable
decrease in price Of grain and farmers
are not making any such profits.
