YOUNG REPORTER
Fred Bollmeyer, Moved by
Pity at Woman's Plight,
Defends Her.

Moved almost to tears by the sad
plight Of Mollie Lewis, who has Agur-
ed in many police court cases, J. Fred
Bollmeyer, a young police reporter Of
a local daily, volunteered this morn
ing in police court to defend the wo-
man. He was permitted to conduct
the defense. and immediately entered
a plea of not guilty.
Prosecutor Ladd, realizing the
"class" of the legal talent pitted
against him. introduced half dozen
witnesses to show the woman had
been "beastly drunk" and was pros
.trate on a sidewalk when taken into
custody.
Bollmeyer made an eloquent plea in
behalf of his client. He pictured her
as poor women, without friends, old,
and as trying to drown her sorrows
in drink. "Moll'' was released by the
mayor on promise to leave town and
be good. Many were the congratula-
tions received by Bollmeyer after the
trial. Ladd, however, sulked in a
corner and refused to congratulate
his talented young legal adversary.
Negroes in Battle.
After fighting merrily at Sixth and
Main streets for several minutes with

the battle. White was arrested, but
Jones escaped. Neither of the men
were severely hurt. There was con.
Main for few moments on account OF
the flying bricks. Whites case was
set for tomorrow morning. He is
charged with assault and battery.

Arrives in Chicago, Full of
Confidence for Success of
the Canadian Reciprocity
Measure.
TO BE OF BENEFIT ..
TO BOTH COUNTRIES
Champ Clark's Annexation
of Canada" Speech Was
Repudiated by President
Taft in Letter,

Chicago, Feb. 15.-Secretary of
State Knox arrived in Chicago this
forenoon as the guest of the Associa-
ton of Commerce. which he will ad-
dress at banquet at the Hotel La
Gale on "Reciprocity." Knox is ex-
pected to voice the views of President
Taft on tearing down the tariff wall
between Canada and United States.
That the Canadian reciprocity bill
will be triumphantly passed at the
present session of Congress and will
prove an immense benefit to the peo-
pie of both the United States and Can
ada, is the view of Secreary Knox.
Il do not think any real fight will
be made on the bill in the upper house
of Congress. There is no reason why
the measure should not pass and there
are many reasons why it should,
said Mr.. Knox.
'The matter of reciprocity with
Canada is an economy measure and
not political one. 1t is a purely
business proposition"
rs this reciprocity bill to be con
with the further extension of the prin
ciple of reciprocity in the future.
responded the Secretary to this ques
tion. Then he said: Il am not in .
position to discuss the future. W.
have been concerned only with tht
actual work being done and the ac
tual negotiations in progress at ths
present. The future can very vel
take caEesof itSalf.' ..4.s,...s4ss.s
DO YOU think this opens the E8ttl
to the ultimate annexation Of Cana
da.'
Knox laughed, That is somethin:
that has not been considered or ever
thought off, he replied, there ha'
been no occasion to discuss it what
ever"
James J. Hill. empire builder, whl
reached Chicago today agreed will
everything Secretary Knox said.

alton of Canada" speech OF Champ

tied States before long.
The after effects of Clark's speech

prevent it. Besides sending his let
ter to Representative Mccall today
the threat was again sounded about
the senate that an extra session would
be called by the president ii the agree
ment was not passed at this session.
In his letter to Mccall President
Taft says: Il write to congratulate
you sincerely upon the the pas
sage through the house of the Mccall
bill. enacting into legislation the re-
ciprocity agreement with Canada. I
sincerely hope that it will pass the
senate and become part of our stat
utes. This agreement, If it should be-
come a law, has no political signifi-
canoe. No thought of future political
annexation or union was in the mind
of the negotiators on either side. Cam
ada is now and will remain political
unit. am very sure that il this
agreement becomes a law it will in
sure great social and commercial ben
fits to both countries

His father died when he was a small child and he and brother were placed in an orphan s home. Later they were adopted in a private home, their names were chang ed and all trace of them lost by rela- tives. The boys grew to manhood with out knowing their real name or any thing whatever about any relatives. James was known as Jim Stevens. Recently, he found some Identification papers, and he began to look into the matter, not knowing all this time for certain that he had a brother. In the meantime l. Barrett had been writing to different relatives here and there in search of the two boys but could find no trace of them. He had not the slightest idea of one of them living as near home as Aurora. We are pleased to note that Mir. Barrett has the ap- { pearance of a gentleman.
