fered him, in a bootless attempt
to buy him.
I was at one time an attorney
in a suit involving title to certain
mining ground. Among our OPP
ponents, as an undisclosed actor,
was the Amalgated Copper Co.
When the evidence was in the
court instructed the jury, on
question of law, to,return a YER
dict against my client.
when the judge rendered his
decision he was intoxicated. Two
hours later, still in the same con-
dition, he threw his arms about
me and told me that he knew l
was right in my contention-that
he had had a similar case in his
own practice-but that there
were too many strings on him
and he had to decide against me. F"
Connolly became prosecuting
attorney at Butte and tells of SEN
sational incidents in that expe-
rience as showing how lawyers
tried to break down his ideals.
He incurred the enmity of w. A.
Clark, who. he says was elected to
the United States senate at the
cost price of 81, 100000.
Clark brought vengeance upon
Connolly and others obnoxious to
him and, after a fight, Connolly
gave up the practice of law and
began to accumulate material
bearing up the judicial evil.
In passing he says that the
courts IF R11fte were r11onoOo.

cided their 1itigations on the turn
of the ballot box" he says.
Dealing with the subject of
state court decisions the writer
says: EVIL decisions by the
higher courts of any state do not
poison the stream of law in, that
state alone; they flow from COM
monwealth to commonwealth,
corrupting the entire legal sys-
TEN of the country. Once out of
its environment there is no sus-
picion that behind any decision
was foul influence.
For instance, he says, the SUI
preme court reports of the state
of Washington are widely used in
the citation of decisions in an i'm
mense body of litigation through
out the northwest. Take this ex-
ample:
NJ. J. Gordon, chief justice of
the state of Washington, once
rendered a decision that no one
but the widow or children of a
man killed at his employment
could collect damages from his
employers. The result was that
the mother or sister of a single
man could not collect for his
death.
ITO be married man, under
this decision, was to be black
listed, because single men got the
employment. 1t was a blow at
the home"
Gordon later became attorney
for the Great Northern railroad.

woman admits that Fiore Is her "af-
hnity'' and knew of the family diff

Teachers in High
Sell Stationery
Board Shocked to Hear of Prac-
tise and Will Stop 1t.

Following the disclosure that teach
ers in the B%arringer High School and
many public schools of the city have
been in the habit Of selling stationery,
pencils and other supplies to their pu-
pills, the committee on instructions and
supplies of the Board of Education will
make a rigid investigation.
If the charges are substantiated the
committee will advise the Board of
Education to order the principals to
summarily stop the practise.
ut is against the law" said Com
missioner Edgar r. Brown, chairman
of the committee on instruction and
supplies, today. 1T Is not a question
of the teachers making n money
through the sales, but the State law
expressly prohibits 1t. The law reads:
"All the necessary supplies and
equipments must be furnished by the
Board of Education
THE city rule is. There shall be no
sale or exhibition in any school with
out a special permit from the board
ItdCl6IS dt6 pdlu " tCoShi hC
continued, land not to conduct petty
sales. 1t may be convenient and all
that. but 1t certainly must interfere
with discipline. I am confident the
board will abolish the system"
The committee was startled last
night by learning that such sales had
ever been made, when Professor Frank
G. Gilman, head of the history depart
ment of the Barringer High School,
mentioned it in a casual manner, as
if it were well known.
Mr.. Gilman wished the committee
to have printed pamphlets on sub
jects connected with the study of
civics.
I'VE thought we could have the
booklets printed privately" said Mr..
Gilman, land then sell them to the
pupils"
Commissioner Brown.
Mr. Gilman Immediately argued that
1t was no more Illegal than the sale of
stationery to the pupils at the Bar
ringer High School.
1t Is understood that pads for Eng
fish themes" as they are called, are
sold by some of the teachers, together
with notebook covers and other sta
tionery, in order to keep the work of
the pupils as uniform as possible.
The State Board of Education will
be asked for a ruling on the status of
teachers who were temporarily APP
pointed for one year under the old
rules of the Board of Education. At
the last meeting the appointment Of
Principal Thomas F. Kennedy, which
was originally for one year, was made
permanent. Since then many teachers
have asked about their standing. Sew
eral recommendations of Randall War
den, physical instructor, We're laid
over for consideration.

SAVES CHILD
IN ASYLUM
AS LUNATIC
Son of Wealthy Architect Is
Rescued from Overlook
by Grandmother.

Saved by his grandmother from the
where he had peen placed by his
wealthy father, 5-year-old William
Lawton Pearsall is today in her Tren-
ton home recovering from the long
nightmare through which he lived
while in the receiving ward of the
asylum.
According to physicians, he boy,
who for five weeks was confined in the
same hospital ward with dangerous
lunatics, is perfectly sane.
A temporary order of the Court of
Chancery placed the lad in the GUS
tody of his grandmother, Mrs. Rachael
Skillman Newman. of Trenton, after
Vice-Chancellor Walker had heard evil
dence which surprised and shocked
him. A further hearing will be had
next Monday, when, according to the
attorneys for Mrs. Newman, a perma-
nent order will be asked for.
The boys father is William Rice
Pearsall, a rich New York architect.
of 6S Valley road. Montclair. and his
grandmother is a member of a Fam
lily socially prominent in Trenton.
The mother of the boy died at his
birth. On her deathbed she begged
her husband to have Mrs. Newman
look after the baby. AT that time Mr..
Pearsall lived in Arlington and Mrs.
Newman went TO live with aim. For
more than our years she acted as a
second mother to the baby
A year ago the engagement of Miss
Harriet Louise Ayres, daughter of
Mr. ona NTrc Tnhn NJ AuraGl ne Mont
clair, to Mr.. Pearsall, was announced.
The marriage tool place at Miss
Ayres's home on June 1, 1911.
When Mr.. Pearsall and his new wife
departed on their honeymoon Mrs.
Newman, with her little grandson,
went to live Ii Trenton. Later a de-
mand was made upon the grandmother
for the boy by Mr.. Pearsall. Much dis
tressed at the parting. Mrs. Newton

The boy was equally broken-hearted.

father, and showed his temper in re-
fusing to obey either, in breaking win
dows and becoming generally unman-
ageable.
linen Mr. PedfSdil, Claiming Thai HIS
son was weak-minded, attempted to
place him in an institution. He at
tempted unsucessfully to secure adj
mission for the lad in the Home for
the F~riendless in this city. About a
month ago the boy was placed in the
Essex County Hospital for the Insane.
Since there was no juvenile ward, he
was daily brought in contact with dan
gerous lunatics and his health, accord
ing to physicians, was broker down by
his surroundings, the separation from
those he loved and the continual shocks
given to his sensitive mind. Through
it all, he is said to have appeared per-
fectly rational.
When Mrs. Newman finally discov-
cred what had happened, she instituted
suit to gain possession of the child.
MIR. Pearsall refused to discuss the
matter, but his wife. at her home today
said that the whole story was abso-
1utely false.
I'm a few days my husband will give
out the true version" she said. "And
it will be entirely different"

RAILROAD EXPENSES GREATER
IN WEST THAN THE EAST.

A recent statistical table issued
i by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission sheds light upon the earn
ings per mile of railroad and illus
trates the difference between the
earnings of road in Colorado and
one in an eastern state where the
population is greater and the traf-
fic correspondingly heavier. For
example, the Denver & Rio Grande
railroad earns s9.269 per mile each
year in passenger and freight rev.
enue. The Boston G. Main railroad
earns $19,1s3 per mile; the Erie
railroad $25,353; the Lehigh Valley
railroad $29.253 and the Central rail
railroad, $26,622; the Lake Shore
road of New Jersey s38, ,305. The
reason for the larger earnings in the
case of eastern reads Is. of course.
cause of the greater number OF peo-
pie living along these lines.
The expense of maintaining and
operating a Colorado road is great
err that that of an eastern road. ow
ing to the heavy grades, danger from
floods, snowslides, etc. Owing to
the density of population in the
east the. tax levy on railroad prop
erty is not so high as I'm the west.
In some counties in Colorado the
Rio Grande Southren lis paying more
than four per cent in taxes on its
assessed valuation. the counties
through which 1t runs having no
great population or large amount of
taxable property othar than the
railroad.
For these reasons the problem of
the railroad Is to get Colorado set
tied up as fast as possible in order
that 1t may receive more business
and the present heavy taxation be
shared by other property.
The Denver g. Rio Grande rail
road has yearly expended many
thousands lof dollars to make Colo
RADIO well and favorably known in
all sections OF the country. Mil
lions OF dollars in the aggregate
have bene. expended for this pur-
pose during the twenty-five years
this road has been In operation.
And the present management Of the

millions more for the same purpose.
