ship farmer, whom E. X. Lott
had arrested on a charge of per-
jury, was given a hearing Sat-
urday morning before Probate
Judge Kolp, and he was cleared.
Three witnesses were examined,
Lott, ST McGriff and C. L. V.
Fritz, but their testimony did not
tend in the slightest to connect
Lehman with the crime charged
against him, and it was proven
that he was absolutely and clear
| ly innocent Of the offense char
ged. His arrest is considered an
outrage by those who are in any
way familiar with the case, and
should not have occurred in the
first place. After hearing the
evidence, Judge Kolp had no hes.
itancy in releasing and dischar.
ging Mr.. Lehman from custody
which action was also upon rec
ommendation of Prosecutor Ker

court that there was nothing il

DR.. John M. Anderson met

his automobile ran onto the side

patient, been seized with an at

from properly controlling his ma

to the pavement and had to be
carried to his room. He sustain
ed no broken bones nor internal
injuries, as was at first feared,
but will be confined to his room

Stop the Tax Eating.


The statesmen down at Colun.-
bus have an opportunity to re-
pair the damage done the ESmith |
l per cent law by the late decis- |
ion. Lining up with the tax eat
ers opposed to the law as it has |
been observed and the principles
its friends uphold, will never
commend any lawmaker to the
folks at home who do the voting.
Governor Cox is right in saying
that the breach created in the
limitation trespasses upon the
fixed purpose of the people to es-
tablish a base of economy in gov
ernment; that present valuations
of property were made with a
common understanding of the
maximum rate Of taxation, and
any departure from this might
be regarded as bad faith upon
| the part of the state. That is
exactly the light in which it
would be regarded. Valuations
were put up, and people accepted
the raise gracefully, feeling they
were to be protected by limita-

Search for Body of Deranged

BROKE FROM ATTENDANTS
AND LEAPED OVER RAIL
Panama With Congressional Par
ty on Board Docks in
New York

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-When the
steamer Panama reached her dock
here Wednesday from Colon, il was
learned that the body OF former Rep.
w. w. Wedemeyer, of Michigan, was
not on board. Capt. Corning reported
that when Wedemeyer broke from his
attendants and -leaped overheard,
shortly after the ship left Colon, every
effort was made, first to rescue him.
and then to recover the body. Boats
searched the surrounding waters for
hours, but the body was not found.
George j. Burke, partner with Wede-
meyer in a law firm in Ann Arbor,
was at the pier, expecting TO take
charge of the body. He was given
Wedemeyers personal effects, and
left for Ann Arbor without making
any statement.
Congressman Edwin +. Sweet, OF
Grand Rapids, and Congressman
George A. Loud, OF Bay City. who ar
rived on the Panama, gave the first
details as To the self-destruction Of
Wedemeyer. At the pier, In addition
to Mr.. Burke. they were met by DR.
Royal S. Copeland, of New York; John
J. Lentz. of Columbus, o.; Frank j.
Mcintyre, the actor, and Frank j. Au
dette all friends of the WedemeyeI
family.
After a brief conference with
MeSsrs. Sweet and Loud, the friends
who met the boat announced that nc
effort would be made TO detain the
attendant i'll whose care Congress
man Wedemeyer had been placed fol
the trip from Panama TO New York
No one on the boat was inclined to
blame the attendant for his failure
TO deliver Congress man Wedemeyer
safely into the hands OF his friends
here. He weighs less than half as
much as Congressman Wedemeyer did,
and was absolutely helpless in his at

from jumping overheard.
When Congressman Wedemeyer was
taken from the sanitarium on the
isthmus and placed aboard the Pan
anna. DR.. II. V. Dutrou, of the Colon
hospital. and c. w. Powell, of the
canal zone service, were designated
TO accompany him. At the time Con-
gresham Wedemeyer was laboring
under the hallucination that he was
to be left behind on the isthmus by
his friends. He told them that II they
left him the doctors would operate
on him, so when he was taken aboard
the vessel he seemed to regain his
hopeful spirits. Indeed the change
was so marked that his Michigan
friends said he seemed TO be better
than he had been at any time since
he left New York On ian. 2, at din
ner, he sat across the table from Mr..
Loud, and, according to the congress
man, he talked nationally. When the
dinner was over Mr.. Wedemeyer and
Attendant Powell went on deck.
