urging him to pass them up, and catch
the next one.
a disagreeable story was started by
a speeder yesterday. when it was said
that HOsmer had made twenty miles
an hour his speed limit, and that he
arrested no one who did not exceed
that speed.
The story originated in the police
courts. when the police judge. trying a
number Of speeders who were attempt
ing to show that their cars had been
within the limit, said,
I'VE seldom bring men IN here unless
they are convicted. Hosmer has a
speedometer on his motorcycle, and
when he PAGES a car up he IS pretty
well able to get a line on it's speed.
The majority Of men he has arrested
We're not only over the limit, but they
were over twenty miles an hour"
This was the origin of the story that
Hosmer only arrests when they go ov-
er twenty miles an hour"
Il do arrest them when they go over
twenty miles" said the gasoline cop,
but they don't have to be going twenty
to be arrested. l watch that limit.
and l watch the cars that go over it.
Some of these fellows think / am paid
so much for each arrest l make, and
they say il is to my interest to bag as
many as possible. There is nothing

Of the Bribery
MAKES EXHAUSTIVE SPEECH
SOUTH DAKOTA SENATOR TAKES
STAND DIRECTLY OPPOSED TO
THAT OF HIS COLLEAGUE SEN
AToR GAMBLE-KEEN INTER.
EST is SHOWN.

washington, Jan. 1O.-In an ex-
haustive and carefully prepared speech,
Senator Coe I. Crawford of South Da-
kota today denounced the alleged
methods employed by the agents of
Sena or William Lorimer in the legis-
lature Of Illinois, and declared in his
conviction that Lorimer was not en-
titled to retain his seat in the upper
branch of congress. More than the
usual interest attached to the speech
because Crawford took stand direct
ly opposite to that occupied by his
colleague Gamble. In the face of Lor-
liners repeated protestations Of inno-
cence Senator Crawford fatty charged
that the latter was cognizant Of the
questionable practices of his lieuten-
ants.
81 regret to say it," declared Craw-
ford with emphasis, But / am person
ally convinced that Lerimer knew
enough about what was going on at
Springfield to put a reasonably pru-
dent man upon inquiry, that Shurtleff
and Browne were his political agents
and that he ratified their acts and ac-
cepted the fruits of their corrupt prac-
tees of which he must at least have
had some knowledge and that he was
not legally apd duly elected to a seat
fl the senate of the United States by
the legislature OF Illinois"
Senator Crawford began by review
ing the testimony taken by the senate
sub committee of the committee on
privileges and elections, which was in
structed to inquire into the charges
against Lorimer. His study of the
testimony" he said, "had forced him,
reluctantly, to arrive at a conclusion
different from that OF the majority of
the committee"
In his opinion this evidence showed
conclusively that the election of Lori
mer was the outcome of a carefully
laid plan, beginning with the election
OF Edward Shurtleff, whom he de-
.scribed as the bitter enemy OF Sem
iator Hopkins and the political bench
man Of Lorimer," to be speaker of
the legislature, and Lee Brown to be
the leader of the minority.
Crawford concluded by announcing
that he stood ready to vote for a reso-
luton to unseat Lorimer,

Washington, Jan. 10.-President Taft
today decided that Commander w. s.
Sims, the United States naval officer

don by the lord mayor of that city de-
clared that if Great Britain were ever
seriously threatened she could de-
pend on every man, every dollar,

His offense has been so conspic-
uous,'' said the president in his letter
to Secretary of the Navy Meyer, d.

of the department in reproving it
should be equally so" Tho president
says that whenever an officer of the
American navy "is called upon in a

that what he says will necessarily be
brought to the attention of people Of

CASE
in U. S. COURT
HEARING OPENED THIS AFTER
NOON IN THE FEDERAL COURT
OF A MOST PECULIAR CASE
WILLIAM HANSON AGAINST
LAcHEMMAUR, EFT AL.

A most peculiar case is demanding
the attention of the federal court at
its opening this afternoon. The case is
styled William A. Hanson VS. Lackem-
mauer.
Lackemmaur and others were in the
land business at Wahpeton. ano a few
years ago they were showing some
land to a prospective purchaser. AS
they passed the farm of Hanson the
prospective land buyer took an ex-
treme liking to Hanson's farm and ex-
pressed a desire to own it.
Lachemmaur and his associates
proceeded to sell it to hi.A for 500 an
acre, although Hanson was away at
the time. The would-be owner of the
Hanson property paid down $500 10
hold the deal and departed for his
home in the east.
Upon Hanson's return home the
Lachemmaur land people beseeched
him to sell his farm to the land
agents for SO an acre. The real es-
tate men paid 5000 down to hold the
deal and proceeded to draw up the
papers.
IN drawing up the final papers Han,
son was to receive his money in lots
of $4,000 each, the last payment which
was to be made in 1918.
Time elapsed and nothing was heard
from the man who was so anxious to
get hold Of the Hanson property, and
to this day he has not been heard from.
although he still is out the $500 which
was his original investment.
Hanson now asks the court that
LachemmauI and his associates pay
the $4,000 notes in their regular order,
while the land men are objecting, not
having received any returns from the
man who was supposed to have pur-
chased the land from them. Hanson
argues that his deal was with the land
agents and that in no part was he
concerned in the affair of the man
who had intended to purchase the
property for $23 an acre.

except in exceptional cases, out OF the
question on account OF the cost.
Under the terms of the universal
parcels post regulations the postage
rate on merchandise is ~ cents a
pound. and the weight limit OF parcel
is eleven pounds. The United States
has parcels post conventions in force
now with about forty countries.
This arrangement ia distinct from
the international Postal union, under
which the ordinary foreign mails are
carried, the parcels post becoming on
erative by individual treaties or con-
ventions between the separate powers.
The domestic postal system Of Bra
I'll embraces about 5000 Offices. The
communications Of the country include
about 10000 miles Of railroad, largely
operated by the federal government. In
all the post routes cover between $4,000
