RELEASED TO VISIT DENTIST
Justice-SimiIar circumstances
Recorded in History.

Recently Theodore Roberts, the
actor, was released temporarily from
Ludlow street Jail, New York, in or
der that he might call upon his den
fist during five different days and
have his teeth fixed. Roberts was
had failed to pay alimony to his wife
under a decree of separation. Before
he could be permitted to go to the
dentist an affidavit had to be submit
ted in which DR.. Frank E. Seely, the
dentist, declared Roberts had Riggs
disease and would lose all his teeth
if not attended to Immediately. The
court granted permission because the
dentist could not make use Of his cleo
trical instruments at the jail.
From the time of the story of Da-
non and Pythias various reasons for
temporary release from jail have been
gwen. 1t is related that in the Napo-
leonic era a soldier confined in a mill
tary prison for a minor offense
against the service during a brief time
of peace was released in order that
he might be present at the christen-
ing of his infant son, born during his
Imprisonment. BUT Napoleon, in or
der to test the intensity of the mans
desire made him agree to serve a year
longer fol- the privilege of a three-day
~furlough. The soldier gladly did it
and when he returned found a pardon
and a c~orporal's warrant for his in
fsnt son, to be valid when the son
had Served with credit six months in
the emperor's army of the future"
Frederick the Great released an auda-
cious captain under sentence of death
so that the captain might tell him a
few beneficial things about himself"
The things told face to face influenced
the great king to pardon the blunt
death-defying soldier.

Washington Furnishes Prize Summer Fish Story

FISH stories may go and fish stories
i may come, but the piscatorial yarn
related by Capt. Charles H. Thomp-
son, a sea-beaten mariner Of Miami,
Fla, makes all others appear like a
bush league alongside of Ty Cobb.
Said fish was right in the midst of
Washington for more than five months
while a Washingtonian, j. s. Warm
beth, mounted it.
AS Captain Thompson, in company
with w. /. Brooks and a Norwegian
sailor, were cruising off the coast of
hove into sight a huge monster, the
like of which man never before had
laid eyes upon. A mighty struggle
for supremacy ensued and man a
declared the victor.
Five harpoons and Isl bullets were
required to subdue the monster, and 1t
took five days to kill it. Before 1t
was under control it smashed a boat
into thousands of pieces and knocked
the rudder and propeller off a 31-ton
yacht. The crew was towed around
the ocean for 80 hours by the monster
at a speed of about As miles an hour.
When it was finally brought into shore
more than 5000 people we're on the
steamship ways at Miami. City Of

police, bankers, and the greater part

less carriages, horseless wagons.
horseless plows, horseless reapers.
horseless whatnots are in our indus
trial midst in surprising numbers, still
our old, time-honored friends-the
horse, the mule, the ass, and the burro
loom larger than they aver have be-
fore in our national life.
Let us consider these facts which
have been extracted from a recent
number of the Crop Reporter, that
publication of much esoteric interest,
issued by authority of the secretary
of agriculture" On January !, 1913,
the total number of horses on farms
and ranges in the United States was
1851, 900, valued at $110.77 per head
with an aggregate value OF $2,27S,222.-
600. Compared with January l, 1872,
horses had increased $4,000; mules
increased $4,000; mich cows decreased
100000; other cattle decreased 1880,
900; sheep decreased $4,000; swine
decreased 4,232,00
Without pausing here to discuss
what bearing this decrease during the
year 1912, in the numbers OF cattle,
sheep, and swine. may have on the
future of these useful quadrupeds, we
will just say that so far as is indicated
by those impartial records-the Unit
ed States census Representatives the
horse, the mule, the ass, nor the burro
has ever suffered any such setback.

Niqhtmare Law.

The effect of a mans declarations
in his sleep when offered as evidence
was involved in Martineux VS.. people,
before the supreme court In Colorado,
in which the court held that night
mare utterances in the nature of ad-
missions or declarations are not COM
petent evidence against a defendant.
The court held also that where a wit
ness testifying to such declarations
said he didn't know whether the man
was asleep or awake, but thought he
was asleep when he spoke, an in
struction that the jury might con-
slider such declarations was erron-
eous. The court ruled:
1T is the voluntary statements Of
a party that may be used against
him. One is not responsible for what
he says in his sleep, because he is
unconscious and it is not voluntary.
In IL eye. 432, it is said: Words al
tered by the accused while asleep are
not competent evidence against him,
since he is unconscious of what he
says, and 1t is for the jury to deter
mine whether the accused was awake
or asleep when he spoke"

Washington Citys Only Democratic Newspaper

as news, these publishers address
themselves almost exclusively to the
interests of men.
Mr.. Dwyer, the editor, dreamed of
the Bulletin 20 years ago when he saw
his copy blue penciled by the press
associations. He yearned for an un-
trammelled medium for the expression
of his views without the Intervention
Of copy readers or editors. The re-
suit was the Bulletin, a single sheet
newspaper, 22x25 inches in size, print
ed three times a day-at noon, at
three o'clock in the afternoon, and at
o'clock in the evening. BIZ
cycle messengers distribute it to the
subscribers.
You a see 1t in almost any public
place. The page is filled with about
SOC, words of news. This is "fringed'
with a prosperous array of advertise
ments, mostly of amusements, liquors,
cigars, mems wear and resorts. The
evening edition carries a story of the
local baseball game and the major
league results. The moor and after
moor editions carry no baseball news
except the standing of the American
league clubs.

Japanese "Movles.p

Even the remotest towns in Japan
have their moving-picture shows and
in large cities they seem to be e
ly as plentiful as on this side of the
Pacific, says Popular Mechanics. In
Yokohama there Is a whole street Of
them, and as the program of each Ia
endless and each picture Is announced
in huge symbols on a separate varie-
gated banner flying from a tall bam-
boo pole, the aspect Of Theater street
is startlingly unique. The pictures
illustrating the sensational points Of.

at their sides have a certain quaint
moss about them, which is accentu.

On his way home, whether alone

turns lightly to radish-white rad

long, crisp white ones. Sometimes he
stops at one OF the nearby markets
to get a supply of those favorites or

deed, he seldom passes n Of these
vegetable carts without hailing the
