In the March American Magazine, SEN

raphy, tells the story of his struggle
to get certain reform legislation through
the Wisconsin legislature when he was

which he finally put through requiring
the railroads to pay their due share Of
taxes. The first time this bill was up,
a number of the carly La Toilette fol-
lowers in the legislature lost their
fricndiiness to the bin just before it was
to be voted on. Following is an ex-
tract.
Another instance was that of As

Broke Parole
Must Do Time
In the Prison

According to a news item appearing
in the Morning Oregonian Of Sunday
last ORC Orth, a young woman who
was convicted Of the crime Of larceny
from the person, and afterward pa
role by Judge Percy r. Kelly, Of de-
partment No. / Of the Marion county
circuit court, has again fallen into
the hands Of the law, and Is now con-
fined in the Multnomah county Jail
on a charge Of drunkenness.
The news item in question states
that the Orth girl was charged with
being intoxicated by the manager Of
the oxford Hotel, in Portland and
when the officers attempted to re-
move her, she complained of sickness
so severe that she could not leave her
bed and refused to dress at the com
mands Of the police The article furth-
err stated that after a doctor was
called the woman was found to be
suffering only slightly from head
ache but nevertheless she was so
stubborn that the assistance of the
matron from the Portland jail was
H'h'ohhll y UtlOlf Mlhh OIlIl tOUlu ne
induced to dress and accompany the
officers.
Miss Orth was arrested several
weeks ago, and bound over to the
grand jury on the charge Of robblng
Ia Polk county farmer of some money
The substance Of the case was that
she, in company with a young man,
"rolled' the farmer while taking the
latter for an auto ride in West Salem
Her conviction followed, and she was
sentenced to serve time in the Oregon
penitentiary of from one to ten years.
Judge Kelly paroled her, however
pending good behavior.
That her parole will be revoked
and she will be compelled TO serve
out her sentence remains unQues-
toned, as the Portland authorities
have taken action, which is all the
necessary evidence, under the parole
law, that Miss Orth has violated her
parole.
