you wanted something for nothing"
THE woman had pleaded guilty of
shop-lifting at "Selfridge's' the only
American department store in London
The case was one of three tried on the

each case the prisoner was wo-

Walter Ruggles Recites I'm
usual Experience.
Meets Two Men on the Road Near
Waldo and Commands Them to re-
lease u Horse Stolen From His
Grandfathcr's Barn.

Walter Ruggles, a fourtcen-year-
old lad who resides with his grand
father, Henry Strine. three miles
northeast Of Waldo, reports that on
Thursday night about midnight he
recovered fine black horse which
had been stolen from his grandfather's
barn.
The lad reports that while on mis-
way homo from Waldo shortly after
midnight he met two men who were
riding horses and leading third The
lad describes the horses ridden by
the men. but says 1t was too dark for
him to plainly see the men. He de-
clares one man was riding a white
horse and was leading his grandfath-
er's horse and the other man was
riding a brown horse and was urging
the stolen horse along with buggy
whip. The lad claims to have recog-
nized the horse which was being led
and he at once commanded the man
in the lead to let the horse loose, as
it belonged to his grandfather. The
command was complied with and the
lad caught the horse and returned II
to the barn.
He also states that on Friday morn
ing he tracked the two men to a
point half a mile south of the place
where he had met them. Here they
turned and started toward Marion.

POLICE CHIEFS REPORT
Work Of the Department for
Six Months.
The Report Shows ConclusivcIy That
While Marion is Supposed to be
"Dry" IL is Not Impossible TO Get
The JOY Water.

Chief of Police J. w. Klinefelter
has completed his report for the last
six months of 1910 showing the num-
ber of arrests which have been made.
during that time and the offense with
which the person taken into custody
was accused The report also shows
by whom the offenders against the
laws and ordinances were arrested,
but the result of the prosecutions is
left for the report of Mayor Setter.
The chiefs report shows very clear
ly that although Marion is supposed
to be dry town, II is not a very
difficult matter Cor some people to
secure all the liquor they need. to get
them into the hands of the law. The
report abounds in ''intoxication' and
drunk and disorderly." In fact were
il not for these two classes of Of
tenders the police would indeed have
easy berths and a job on the police
force would mean long and uniter-
rupted periods OF slumber. But when
the number of Intoxicated men Is
taken into consideration. II must be
conceded that the small police force
of the city must have been kept pretty
busy during the six months to care
for the individuals whose feet slipped,
in addition to looking after more
serious offenders and guarding the
property of the citizens.
During the last six months of last
year, just 326 persons were taken
into custody by the police. and OF
this number, sixty-four per cent. or
21S were arrested for drunkenness
The other offenses charged range all
the way from murder in the first de-
gree to lettering and train riding, with
number for violating the Rose law.
A review of the report by months
Is quite interesting and shows the
following number of arrests and the
number of arrests for intoxication:

An exodus from Washington of members Of the

the week. 1t is doubtful if the House muster
quorum at the end Of the week. The plan is to
brol the Senate into action pending legislation.
Members Of the House say with smile that it will

apple tree than in Washington while the Senate Is

The question has apparently, however
been raised as to whether a shipment
Of arms or ammunition. obviously for
use by the insurrectos in their revolt
against the Mexican government, Is not
in itself a part Of an expedition" as
prohibited by the neutrality laws.
The ground for this contention seems
to be very slight. and the general i'm
preston Is that the United States gov
ernment will not attempt to interfere
with legitimate shipments Of arms and
ammunition to Juarez. so long as they
are not accompanied by an expedition.
The courts and former opinions by the
Department Of Justice seem to leave lit
tic room for doubt on this question.

STONE ABANDONS
MEXICAN POLICY
Senator Satisfied Interven-
tiOn Is Not Needed.

Senator Stone. Of Missouri, who in a
speech in the Senate a few days ago at
tackled the policy of President Taft in
refraining from Intervention in Mexico.
yesterday retracted his views on the
steps Of the White House after con-
ference with President Taft. The Sem
ator insisted, however, that he had not
discussed the Mexican situation with the
President. 1t was significant that, while
Senator Stone was with the President,
Secretary Of War Dickinson was present.
The Missouri Senator said that his
reason for changing from the views
which he so emphatically expressed in
the Senate was that the capture ofJuarez
by the insurrectos and the evacuation OF
most of the border towns by the federal
troops seems to have taken the fighting
away from the border and lessened the
danger to American lives from the hos
tilities.
Director-General John Barrett. Of the
Pan-American Union. told the President
yesterday that he was receiving large
numbers of letters from Mexicans of both
federal and insurrecto tendencies stating
that the policy of the President in per-
sisting upon noninterference in Mexico.

existed, was winning friends for the ad-
ministration throughout Mexico and
