The Widow Pleased.

Coatesville, Pa, Aug. f4.-Mrs. An
ma Rice, widow of the policeman who
was shot by Zach Walker, the negro
who was taken from the Coatesville
hospital last night and burned to
death while still shackled to the hos
pital cot, this afternoon made the
following statement:
"FIe got just what he deserved"

Governor Mann Comments.
Richmond, Va, Aug. Ito the
Editor of the l. N. SIN England
where crime is certainly adequately
punished there are no lynchings. The
fear that the law might not be exc
cuted added to the local excitement
caused by the crime will probably ac-
count for the Pennsylvania trouble.
The remedy is to abolish teehni-
cslities, try all cases speedily upon
their merits, not permitting the trials
to be long drawn out or guilty men
to escape. Newspapers should be
careful not to make heroes out of
criminals

Domestic Service Bureau Is Planned

G OCIETY women interested in phil
y anthropic work carried on through
the 'Gentlewomen's league, one OF the
social organizations of Washington,
are deeply interested in a movement
proposed and started by Mrs. Julia
James that has for it's object the
establishment of an intelligence bu-
reau to be operated as an auxiliary of
the league.
The new branch of the organization
is to be Incorporated under the name
of the National Cooperative lntelli-
gence bureau. 1t will undertake to
supply employees of all kinds to
Washington homes, from social secre-
taries, linguists. readers and compan-
ions. to all manner of domestic help.
It will have offices centrally located.
There will be fee charged those sup
piled with employees and a nominal
Zee charged the persons placed in po-
7itions. The bureau will undertake
to give its Endorsement to the moral
character OF the employees supplied

WASHINGTON.- the ways
w of graft are many. and many are
the grafters, probably the most con-
temptible and most plentiful in this
class are those who prey on ignorance
and poverty. The Department Of JUS
tice has undertaken with notable sue
cess war against those swlndlers
of our citizens, but 1t has not yet en-
deavored to protect the immigrant
anxious to become citizen. Perhaps
our lawmakers are to blame. AS an
illustration of this misuse L. Click
takes the grating steamship agent or
petty banker
A poor man who has come from the
"old country" but a short time before
will spend the earnings of one or two
years labor to purchase transporta-
tion to the United States for some
relative In foreign land. The un-
derstanding is that he will go by d.
rect route from the country he is leav-
ing to his destination. OF course the
agent may overcharge This may be
called legitimate graft, as he has to
meet with competition, and the over
charge does not amount to much. But
that is not all. The emigrant, wheth-
er he be italian, Jew, Greek, or an
other. receives his ticket: sells what
little belongings he has and presents

New Naval Fighter Mighty Submarine

r HE largest and most formidable
submarine ever constructed for
the United States government will be
given a trial trip soon. If the craft
proves a success It will have a large
bearing on the future of the navy, will
tend to increase the Importance of
sub-surface war vessels, and at the
same time to lessen the Importance of
the great battleship.
1t is the intention to cruise to New
York with the boat on her trial trip.
Later it is expected the strange craft
will be sent across the Atlantic.
Among the features of the new sub
marine are hydroplanes. These cor
respond to the planes of an aeroplane.
They are assigned for the purpose of
steadying the boat and holding 1t even
when under the water. Another fea-
ture is the drop keel. which weighs
several tons, and can be released in
case of an accident, thus adding to
the buoyancy of the vessel. On the
bottom of the boat are wheels calcu-
lated to protect the bottom when the
vessel drops down to the bed of
the ocean Various other features are
important in the construction OF this
type of submarine. Enough storage
air is provided for As hours under
water The vessel is provided with

himself with his family. bundle and
ticket to the foreign agent. The agent
scrutinizes the ticket with great care,
apparently. and in a sad voice informs
the emigrant there is required more
money. Such scene occurs at every
stop-over. This besides being robbed
for food and lodgings for which the
kind relative across the seas has al
ready paid double.
After much delay he arrives at the
seaport and here they take what is
left. They let him keep his family.
After more delay, he is set on board
ship bound for Canada, generally
the port is Halifax Perhaps the steam
ship companies know why the immi-
grant is sent to the United States via
Canada, but they won't tell. He ar
rives at Halifax penniless and is de-
barred. The fact that he is bound
for some town In the United States
does not make things any pleasanter
for him with the Canadian officials.
His relative is communicated with
and while negotiations for his re-
lease from the immigrant station are
pending the Canadian government
charges him for board. If his rela-
tive can borrow enough money 1t be-
comes only a costly experience but
often he must go back home and our
country loses another citizen.
These steamship agents are to be
found in the foreign quarters of every
large American city. In the Ghetto
and Little Italy you will find them
most abundant. Some of them have
been immigrants themselves, but do
not hesitate to fleece old-time friends
of their childhood

L.akota and Neville Rivals in North
Dakota Contest.
, The fight for the removal of the
county seat of Nelson county from
Lakota to Neville has been launched
by Neville, The fact that the ques-
ton of the construction of a new
courthouse for the county is being dis
cussed has been made the basis for
the removal talk at this time.
The fact that Neville is located
more nearly to the center of the coun-
ty than is Lakota is one of the prin-
cipal arguments that will be raised In
favor of that place. The citizens of
Neville also propose to raise a fund
of about $4,000, or one-third of the
cost of a new courthouse, to be given
the county for that work in the event
the city is given the county seat To-
cation.
Lakota has been the county seat
ever since the county was organized.

May 16 is the date set for the open

xBurleigh county at Bismarck, at which
will be held the trial of G. L. Bick-
ford, former state treasurer, charged
with the e~mbezzlement Of state mon
eys. The case is being prosecuted
by Burleigh county, Bickford having
been arrested upon the complaint of
States Attorney Smith.
One of the elements entering into
the trial of the case is the prospect of
a change of venue. While the attor-
neys for the defendant have made no
statement to that effect it is believed
that they will make application for
the change, ~contending that there is
focal prejudice because of the long
publicity that has been given the case
in that section.
Bickford at the present time is at
his home in Bowbells, where he has
engaged in the real estate business.
He is confident that he will be ac-
