The numerous and apparently use-
less arrests made during the past week
by deputy sheriffs, which have brought
about much discussion In the city.
caused County Solicitor Scott NJ. I.of-
tin to make few remarks at the regu-
lar plea day session of the court of
record, when quite number of the
defendants hauled to jail during the
past week were lined up ready to en-
ter pleas Of guilty, which they did and
were fined or sentenced to serve time
by the court.
While the solicitor disclaimed any
authority over the deputies he never
theless has the right to either prose-
cute or mol pros the cases they bring
into court and In this connection he
told the officers that they should make
arrests only when there were we'll
grounded complaints and he saw no
reason or excuse for making useless
arrests. Where there arc good grounds
for an arrest and the deputies have
complaints on which to act 1t Is a
different matter, but people should not
be apprehended, he said, on frivolous
charges.
A large number OF those who were
arrested during the past week on
charges of lewdness or vaRrancy did
not enter pleas Of guilty yesterday,
and 1t is understood some of them
have procured attorneys and propose
to stand trial and fight the charges
against them in court

TO ASSIST HIM
COL. coRNWELL, WHO MIsAP.
PRoPRlATED LARGE SUM s,
COMMITS SUICIDE ON TRAIN
PEOPLE OF HIS HOME TOWN
WERE GOING TO HIS FINANCIAL
RESCUE.
Hy Associated Press.

West Chester, Pa, Aug. LII Col.
Gibbons Gray Cornwell, who ended his
life last night on Pennsylvania rail-
road train while returning from New
York to answer a charge Of misap-
rrCpriating funds, had faced the ac-
Cusation it is probable friends would
have gone to his rescue. A meeting
of merchants and professional men
was held yesterday at which plans to
aid Col. Cornweu were discussed.
The suicide of Col. Cornweu de-
veloped the fact that he was contem-
plating fleeing the country. Constable
William Mullen, who accompanied the
accused man to West Chester, said to-
day that in searching Col. Cornwell's
pockets, number Of steamship sail
ing lists and other literature contain
ing information about foreign trips
were found.
A complete investigation Of Col
Cornwell's entangled affairs win be
begun at once. All sorts of guesses
are being made as to the possible
amount involved by MS unfortunate
financial transactions. Arthur B. Reid
attorney for the Darlington estate, of
which the suicide was a trustee, placed
the shortage at anywhere from $55, 900
to S150,000. Col CornweIl had charge
Of trust funds and estates valued at
a quarter of a million dollars.
The resignation Of Col. Cornwefl as
commander of the Sixth regiment was
received at the Office Of the adjutant
general at Harrisburg today. It simply
stated that he desired to tender his
resignation to take effect Immediately.
The letter was mailed in New York
and was dated yesterday. Cornwell
leaves a widow and four children.

Little Shy on Recent Events.

Mr.. Bryan slipped upon his knowl-
edge of recent Ohio history, advocat-
ing reforms already covered even
more fully than he suggested, in the
public service commission and en-
ployers' liability laws.
In part, he saiG:
"The initiative is the most useful
governmental invention which the
people of the various states have had
in recent years. 1t is the most effec-
tive means yet proposed for giving
the people absolute control over their
government. With the initiative in a
constitution, a constitutions defects,
either of omission or commission, be-
come comparatively harmless, for the
people are in position to add any
provision which they deem necessary
and to strike out any part of the con-
stitution which they dislike.
"Some difference of opinion exists
among the friends CT the initiative
and referendum as to the percentage
that ought to be required for the Pc
ton which starts the machinery
through which the people ought to
act" Mr. Bryan said he is unquali-
fiedly in favor of low percentage as
against the high one, saying:
Eight per cent for the initiative
on ordinary measure and twelve per
cent on constitutional amendments IL.
not unusually low. Neither is five
per cent too low for a referendum
vote.
The Greenville journal. [volume] (Greenville, Ohio) 1850-1918, 1912-03-21
For Income Tax.

Referring to the question Of taxa
ton, Mr.. Bryan said:
THE income tax is likely to be en-
ployed by the federal government as
a means of raising national revenue,
but that is no reason why it should
not be employed in the state. 1t is
not double taxation to include q tax
upon incomes by both state and fed
eral governments.
Franchises are proper subject to
taxation. Corporations likewise are
being more and more considered
proper subjects of consideration. and
ahe mere right to incorporate is a
valuable gift to those who take adj
vantage of It," Mr.. Bryan also fa-
vored leaving some latitude to cities
and counties In the matter of taxa
tion.
Mr.. Bryan condemned what is
known. as government by injunc-
Sion." He also said:
"The administration of justice be-
comes farcical when errors, trivial in
character and effect, are allowed to
prolong cases and wear out litigants.
"And, may add, in these days,
when all intelligent men read the
newspapers, knowledge of the details
of the case, gained from the newspa-
per, should not excuse one from jury
service, if he is a man of good char
acter and fair minded.
