Threshing Machine Burns.

The threshing machine owned by
j. w. Mcintyre and working on the
Harbaugh ranch, was burned Sunday
afternoon. The cause of the fire is
a mystery, although it is the opinion
of some that it was the work of a dis
grunted employee of Mr.. Mcintyre,
who had been discharged and who
stated at the time that He would
get even" The fire was discovered
while the crew was eating dinner in
the cookhouse and, as there was no
sign of a fire about the separator
when the men left it, the incendiary
idea is given considerable credence.
The loss is estimated at $1,000, with
$1,000 insurance. Very little grain
was burned, as only a few sacks had
been threshed in the field when the
fire occurred.

THE RIGHT PLEA
BUT WRONG MAN
"NOLO CONTENDERE'' Is AN EX-
elusive PHRASE NOT INTEND
ED FOR SUCH CASES AS THAT
SUBMITTED BY JACOB.

Jacob Leyian of New York. ar
raigned for selling decayed fruit, en-
tered a plea of "nolo e~ontendere."
By great luck Jacob escaped punish
ment for contempt. He was penaliz-
ed to a choice between paying a 500
fine and going to jail for thirty days.
Jacob should have known better.
"Nolo contendere" is not for the hum
BILE purveyor of decayed bananas. 1t
belongs to the plane OF higher toned
criminality that has money enough
to hire lawyers too wise TO spring
Latin on a Bowery jurist, according
to the Los Angeles Tribune.
To the mere lay mind, that really
has no business to hold opinion on a
legal question, the plea of "nolo con-
tendere' is a thinly disguised ad-
mission of guilt. Freely rendered, 1t
means that while the defendant has
done all that is charged, he would
much prefer not to have 81 delicate
a matter discussed in open court. and
desires the privilege of not commit
ting himself. The court is left to
guess whether a person who declines
either to admit guilt or to claim in
nocence has come to the tribunal
with clean hands. A court of
ordinary discretion needs only n
guess.
In this fashion the members of the
wire trust submitted themselves to
judgment. They would not say they
were guilty, and they would not say
they were not; their desire was to
circumvent any Embarrassing tenden-
cy of counsel to thrust rude probes
into their secret conclaves. That
they did not grumble when fines were
assessed against them proved that II
they did not think themselves guilty,
they suspected themselves strongly.
But the peddler OF bad fruit has no
dignity among criminals. The
chances are that his coat Is shabby,
his grammar defective. his horizon
narrow and his rem overdue. For
him to essay a seat with the mighty is
presumption. Let him first get out
of the fruit business and systematic
some plan of selling the public blocks
OF nothing for a good price. Then
will he belong to the aristocracy of
evil doors. and when he gets caught
and has to plead, the blessed priv
ilege Of resort to the refined and non
commital "nolo co%ntendere' will not
be withheld.

Seeking SHELTER
Fear of Shanghai" Detec-

Vessel Crews.

The chartering of the former motor
yacht Old Glory, for the purpose Of
running down and capturing violators OF
the navigation laws in alleged shang-
haing, illtreatment and insanitary hous-
ing of seamen. has spread panic among
the owners and masters OF oyster
dredges.
More than forty vessels, fearing this
inspection, are reported to have landed
their crews and the captains have put
their boats out OF commission for the
winter.
The trouble started when Lincoln A.
Dryden, collector Of customs OF the
Crisfieid, Md. port, acting under orders
originating with Secretary Nagel, char
tered the former motor yacht. Old
Glory, and put out from Baltimore on a
tour of inspection. The condition was

according to the authorized dictum, and
really to say II like "valay" Is con-
sidered quite terribly bad, don't you
know.
Along with President Taft's domestic
auxiliary, 1899 other night school stu
dents are on vacation this week., be-
cause many of them are employed as
clerks In shops and have to work
nights this week.
Almost every we'll known national
ity Is represented in the school," said
Mr.. Murch. There are Assyrians and
Frenchmen, Bulgars. and Swedishmen,
Filipinos and Russians, Siamese and
Turks, to say nothing of Germans,
Greeks, and Japanese and few dozen
other nationaities."
The foreign-born students often put
to shame the boys and girls born in
this country who go to school In the
day time, as respects industry and ZEAL
Most of the foreign-born attend night
school to learn English.
The average of night high school pu-
pills is between twenty-five and twenty
three years, according to Director
Murch: in the day high schools the
average age is about sixteen years.
In the grade night schools the ages
run all the way from fourteen years to
sixty-hve.
The colored night schools are patron
ICED by older persons than the white
night schools. A great many elderly
colored men and women can nightly be
found striving to learn to read and

Monico Lopez, President Taft's Fill

He will not cease to put the studs and
buttons in the Presidential shirts, to
hold UP the Presidential dress coat. and
to go over the whole Presidential figure
with a brush-this takes quite a while
but, nevertheless, the valet is going to

7EN-YEAR SENTENCE
FOR SANFORD, HOLY
|, GHOST AND U.s. HEAD
Cult Leader Says God Is
" Beside Me- When Judge
~ Pronounces Fate.

( PORTLAND. Me-, Dec. 18.--Ten years
of hard labor was the sentence today
meted out to the Rev. Frank w. San
ford, head of the Holy Ghost and Us
Society, of Shiloh, Me-. who last week
was convicted of granddaughter in con-
nection with the deaths of six members
of his crew Of the yacht Coronet.
Sanford was calm during the six min
utes 1t took for Justice Hale to read
the sentence. Unaccompanied, he
walked into court and formally SUBJ
3ected himself to a marshal. Asked II
he had anything to say before, sentence
was pronounced he murmured:'
God is beside me. He told me today
not to talk. He knows what is in me.
He pities everyone in the world who
does not look to Shiloh"
Sanford was hurried into Jail and will
be sent to Atlanta at 7:15 this evening.
When Sanford left Shiloh early today
to 70 to Portland for sentence, a hum
dred followers bade lin good-by.
To them Sanford repeated some Of the
startling statements he made in his ten
hour sermon in Shiloh Temple yester-
day. He declared 1t was no idle boast
when he said he had the world by the
and total destruction will come soon to
those who found him guilty.
Sanfords trial was one OF the most
spectacular in Names history. He
acted as his own counsel and refused to
question witnesses who testified that he
fed the crew OF his Inflated missionary
yacht a bowl Of cruel day while he
ate three hearty meals In his sacred"
cabin during the recent narrowing voy-
age from the Holy Land.
