COMMENTS OF LEGISLATORS

SoM NJ EN- l OF LEGlSLA OkS.
THE College Farm will mean more
toward the progress of Delaware than
any institution we have"
The Farm is a good thing when
once it is understood. 1t makes ex-
periments and loses, to keep the far
mer from losing"
"A paying proposition if only as an
advertising medium for the College"

The State made good investment
Look at Improvements made-the or

ASIDE from experimental work, |
understand the farm sales exceed
$4,000 per year"
ITO give a Delaware boy a college
education, it costs ST. so per year-a

STOPS CHURCH FEES.
All Charges in Roman Catholic Edifices
Abolished.

St Louis. Oct 1.-THE practice of
asking a contribution at the door of
almost all Roman Catholic churches,
or of charging a fee for a seat in the
church, is ordered discontinued in a
circular letter addressed to all arch
bishops and bishops of the church in
the United States that has been sent
out by Monsignor D. Falconio. apos-
tolio delegate at Washington.
Father D. S Phelan. editor of the
Western Watchman. has received the
first copy in St Louis. Monsignor Fal-
conio's order becomes effective at once,
the clergy being directed to rearrange
the collection of their revenues.
The loss in contributions in ST. Louis
alone will be $4,000 each Sunday. Mon
signor Falconio speaks of the prac-
tees as bringing scandal to both
Catholics and Catholics" and re-
grets that complaints on investigation
have been shown to be too true" and
warns any clergyman who disobeys
that order will be '-condignly pun
ished."

ing and ne spoke several times of what
an embarrassing thing it would be for
him to have to leave in regular prison
clothes.
Walsh will be given a railroad ticket
to his destination and five dollars in
cash Speculation was rife this morn
ing as to whether the former banker
would refuse the money. It was not
known what railroad Walsh would go
home on.
That matter. it was stated, would bs
decided when his son arrived.
Son Becomes Fathers Employer.
In this case Richard Walsh legally
becomes his fathers employer 1t is
necessary in all paroled cases for Il
first friend" to either give or assure
employment to the paroled man. Rich
ard Walsh had previously promised to
supply his father with a place in his
office. The Walsh boys have been in
charge of their fathers business ever
since he came to prison. The Walsh
main business interests now lie in
stone quarries in various parts of the
country. 1t is said that under the
management of his sons the business
has been highly profitable. Every
month one of the Walsh boys has come
to the prison and made a report of the
business to his father. All of the books
and accounts have been gone over at
these times by the prisoner. The sons
and father have not always agreed as
to the manner in which the business
should be run There has not been an
open break between them but John r.
Walsh has always battled hard to have
his ideas accepted.
A special set of parole papers was is
sued in Walsh's case. 1t is customary
for the warden, after having been
notified by telegraph that a prisoners
parole has been recommended to await
the coming of parole papers before re-
leasing a man. In Walsh's case
Warden McClaughery was given per-
mission to issue a, special parole. Later
General Wilkersham will send
Walsh a set of papers.
When Walsh was seen by newspaper
men this morning he declined to make
a statement.
Relatives Are Delighted.
Chicago, Oct. 14-Relatives of John
R. Walsh here were almost overcome
at the final news of the bankers pa
role. They had received so many pre-
vious reports from unreliable sources
that when the news. came they were
to believe it.
The bankers son, Richard Walsh,
for whose arrival it was said the bank
er would wait. was out of reach in
one of the suburbs. At his home, the
news was received joyously and imme-
date steps taken to find him to de-
liver the news. It was said he would
leave for LeavenWorth as soon as he
could be found. At the bankers home,
where he is awaited by his wife, the
news was received with equal joy

Chicago, Oct. 14-WHEAT-With anoth-

today seemed inclined to sag. The ten
dency was emphasized owing to warmer
weather in the Argentine and because of
liberal shipments being scheduled to go
to the United Kingdom. Bearish sent-
ment grew also as result of shorts nav
ing covered freely and local bulls being
generally long. Besides there was an an

started at 981sc to 981s49814c, a loss OF a

Satisfactory reports in regard to thresh-
ing in the Canadian northwest kept the
market depressed. The close was sc net

ket here appeared to be over-bought. De-
cember opened unchanged to 5sc down at

health from his summer residence near
Murray Bay, Canada, ten days ago.

when Justice McKenna accompanied
him to his --ome and DR.. L. B. Hardin,

BONDS ACTIVE: STOCKS SLOW.
weekly Market Summary Shows Wait
ing Tendency.

New York. Oct 14.-Increased ac-
tivity in bonds was the chief charac-
teristic of the week in the securities
market The inquiry was wider and
rrices hardened generally. Transac-
tions in bonds on the stock exchange
outstripped recent averages and prt-
vate sales also were considerably
larger.
Stocks were 1ife1ess throughout the
week. Trading fell to small proper
tions and prices developed no defin-
tie tendency. Operators were disposed
to await developments in the political
or industrial situation which would
shape speculative sentiment definitely
before charging their dealings.
The only important change in the
industrial situation from the slow, hes
itating movement of recent months
was a somewhat better inquiry for

MEANEST MAN FINED.
Rich Farmer Steals Apples From Hard
Luck Neighbor.

Frankfort, Kan, Oct. 14.-David Fink
enbinder, one of the wealthiest farm
ers in this county, has been assessed
$3.50 by Justice Larimer for stealing
two bushels o. apples from his neigh
Dor Jesse C. Sitter. He pleaded guilty.
Finkenbinder lives at Axtell and Sit
Ter lives in the country near there.
Stealing a few apples is not such an
unusual or heinous crime as to be par
ticularly noticeable, but the circum-
stances surrounding this theft are out
of the usual order. Sitter. the man
robbed, is a farmer of limited means.
and of late has been playing in very
hard luck his crops are not of the
best this year. his wife has been con-
this summer his barn was destroyed
by fire and later his residence was
burned down: his apple crop was one
means of adding a trifie to his in
come.
Finkenbinder is a retired farmer,
owns several hundred acres Of land, IS
rated to be worth 80 to 100 thousand
dollars, and is man past so years of
age with a highly respected family.
During the old Pop days he was d
candidate for sheriff of Nemaha as a
Populist.
He sacked the apples he stole and
hid them in the grass, where they We're
found by a deputy sheriff, who went
to the Finkenbinder home with
search warrant.

any glory in having the -'meanest man.
but the opinion expressed by various
citizens indicate that just now they
would adjudge the prize to an inhabit

James 3. Mcnamara indicted for the

session of court today. From behind
a battery of law books, attorneys for
the prosecution and defense. wrangled
as to Nelson's eligibility delving deep
into the realms of precedent cases on
the bias of talesmen.
+ On Monday Judge Walter Bordwcn
: will render a decision as to whethe-
or not bias OF prejudice is contained

Nelson From Kansas City.
z. T. Nelson, the taIesman whose
eligibility to serve as juror in the
Mcnamara case now occupies the at
tention of the court and the attorneys,
formerly was a real estate dealer in
Kansas City. He has shown, say the
attorneys for the prisoner, an evident
bias and has admitted that he holds
q positive opinion on the case and that
lit would require strong evidence to
change IL
Nelson at present and for the last
four years has been retired from bust
ness and living at Long Beach. He is
wealthy.
May Not Get Jury.
Many lawyers about the court room
early today were discussing the likeli-
hood of obtaining a jury at all Should
Nelson be disqualified, it was pointed
out that it would be we'll nigh impos-
sible to get a dozen men out of the
1900 on the list of the court who al
ready had not formed some opinion
on the case
should it develop after a period of
time, they said that the panel rapidly
was being exhausted, it would not be
surprising If the defense asked for a
change of venue on the ground that
nobody could be found in Los An
gefes who had not acquired an opin-
ion because of its notoriety in this
section.
The s.silent barber needed to shave
the talesmen was found today in the
person of George w Yarrow- Accom-
panied by a red plush barber chair, he
was taken to the jury exercise room,
and, after being duly sworn to reveal
nothing that he might learn, was al
lowed to go to work at the noon re-
cess of court. He said he could shave
all IL talesmen in that time without
talking to any of them. From now on
that will be a part of his daily work.
