tlemen House last Tuesday plans were
laid for more systematic settlement
house work, the object being to get as
many workers interested as possible in
order that the settlement house may
grow to have city wide influence. both

The plan discussed was send invita-
tions to as many ladies in the city as
it is thought might be interested. ask
ing each one to state her preference of
the kind Of work she would like to do
in behalf of the settlement. The plan
is to have at least one lady in every
three or four blocks to work directly
with the central organization. and as
many more as care to volunteer to work
indirectly. If the plan is carried out it
will assure a great deal of personal
work which can be intelligently direct
ed OF the central organization.

dence indicates that railroad detec-
tive arrested Ashton and found in his
possession a number of 25-cent neck
ties, which had been taken from the
car and some other goods that had been
stolen from the car.
1t was the railroad detectives credi-
bility as against that of Ashton, and
the jury believed Ashton when he said
that he did not steal the goods, but
found II alongside of the railroad track.
1t is believed that the state made a
mistake in attempting to make the
charge of burglary stick for the penalty
for burglary is ten to twenty years in
the penitentiary, and it is doubtful if
any jury would have sent Ashton over
the road for that length of time even
though it was convinced that he was
guilty OF breaking into the car. The
purpose. however, was to make an ex-
ample OF Ashton in the hope that the
frequent burglarizing of cars would be
stopped.
The case was interesting from the
very start. Ashton fought extradition
from Illinois, where he was arrested.
and It was very difficult to bring him
to trial. The case has consumed sew
eral days 1t was tried before Judge
Lawrence Becker.
