GOING AHEAD AGAINST COUNTY
MAGISTRATES.
Attorney General to Confer with
Western Maryland States At


Edgar Allan Poe, Attorney General
of Maryland, has begun an inNesti-
cation into the charges that so-called
walking magistrates" of Carroll and
Frederick counties have committed
scores of prisoners to the House of
Correction without proper trials af-
ter arrest by railroad special police
men for trespassing on the property
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
Governor Goldsborough sent the
formal charges to the Attorney Cen
eral last week and instructed MIR. Poe
to confer about them with the States
Attorneys Of the two Western Mary
land counties. At the time the Cover
nor referred the charges to the Attor-
ney General he announced that should
they be proved he would Immediately
remove from Office any magistrate
found to have participated in collision
with the railroad policemen to send
prisoners to the House of Correction
without thorough trials.
The alleged "railroading'' of pris-
oners to the institution without proper
trials has created a great deal of in
dignatiOn and has resulted in the re-
lease Of about 80 prisoners sent to the
"Cut" on commitments found defect
i've through habeas corpus proceed
ings brought in the courts OF Balti-
more.
Nearly IT'LL of the prisoners thus re-
leased have said that they were ar
rested by railroad policemen and
later sent To the House OF Correction
without being told what disposition
had been made or their cases. Many
OIL them said that at the time or their
arrest the policemen were accom-
panied BY other men who represented
themselves as magistrates.

Governor GOldSbOrOugh Declares for
Local Option.

Governor Goldsborough has declar-
ed for local option. His statement Is
made in response to questions asked
by the Anti-Saloon League. The
Governor declares in favor of the pas
sage ofla statewide local option bill
He says that while parties, should not
declare for or against the saloons, yet
it may be proper for them to declare
for submitting social questions to the
direct vote of the people for determin-
alton. He says that while he would
not have drafted the local option bill
in the form in which the Anti-Saloon
League has it, yet it is evidently based
on the careful study of the laws Of
Maryland and of other states and that
there is a presumption in favor of it
because i'm the long time it has been
before the people no other bill has
been proposed, and that the amend
ments to safeguard manufacturers
and protect the personal rights of
individuals which have been incOr-
porated by the League since the last
session, 60 far toward removing the
valid objections to it. And he says
finally that it is better to pass local
option bill than to eXasperate the peo-
pie into passing a statewide prohibi-
ton amendment before public senti-
ment in the city of Baltimore is ripe
for it.
Superintendent Anderson says that
while the Governors statement pleas
es the temperance people it will not
stir up the liquor men as would have
been the case were it not for the
shadow of state prohibition, because
the intelligent liquor men now SEE that
the Democratic city liquor ring in
stead of helping the liquor traffic by
defeating local option, really endan-
gered the traffic by making SO much
prohibition sentiment.

Cost of Lighting Motor Car.

In order to determine just how
much power is used by electric light
ing systems of automobiles, tests were
recently conducted at the Indian
apolis Motor Speedway. Standard
cars were used in the test and they
were run as far as possible on a single
gallon of gasoline with the electric
generating apparatus disconnected.
The same car was then run as far as
it would 60 on a gallon of gasoline
with the generating apparatus con-
nected, and the difference in distance
travelled showed what portion of
the fuel was consumed in driving the
generator. lit was found that for
higher power cars the fuel consump-
ton for the electric system amounted
to 7.3 per cent and for the lower
power cars 1877 per cent.

NEW YORK'S GOVERNOR IN
PEACHED.
VIII BE Tried Before the Court Sep
TENDER il.

VIII BE Tried Before the Court Sep
TENDER il.
Governor William SultZer, or New
York was impeached by the Assembly
on August 10, and his trial before
the Senate and the judges OF the
Court of Appeals was fixed for Sep
TENDER Is.
The general charge against him is
that a willful and corrupt conduct
and high crimes and misdemeanors,
the broad constitutional phraseology
under which impeachment resolu-
lions are initiated. The detailed
specifications of wrong-doing, or what
| would be called the counts in the in
dictment in an ordinary criminal
| trial. will be based on the evidence
brought out before the Frawley COM
mittee. The principal charges Will
! be that he used funds given him for
campaign purposes to purchase
stocks, or, in other words, appro-
priated to his own use what was
virtually public money; that he per-
iured himself by making false re
port to the Secretary OF State, swear
ing that the total contributions to ms
campaign fund were but $5,4bO,
whereas the amount was greatly IN
excess; and that he was guilty OF an
untruth in a public statement when
he said he was absent when two or
the largest of these contributions
were received and therefore knew
nothing of them. There may be
other charges rejecting on his con-
duct in the Gubernatorial office, but
as these will be more or less OF
political character, it will be more
difficult to show a corrupt motive as
to them. The charges of corruption
and dishonesty constitute the heart
of the case, and If they cannot be
sustained, the prosecution is likely
to fall through if the tribunal by
which he is tried is impartial iii it's
judgment.
AS soon as the articles of impeach-
Iment, adopted by the Democratic ma
Iiority in the Assembly, were pre-
scented to the Senate shortly after 3
O'Clock on August 10, Lieut.
Gov. Martin H. Glynn announced his
intention of occupying the Executive
Chamber.
An opinion rendered on Monday by
Attorney General Thomas Carmody is
to the effect that "Lieut.-Gov. Martin
III. Glynn is the lawful Chief Executive
of New York State pending the out
come of impeachment proceedings
against Governor Sultzer."

Witch BURNING,

There are countries in which the exc
cution of women as witches is only a
thing Of yesterday. The last instance
OF witch burning occurred as recently
as 1888 In Peru, and in other parts Of
South America cases continued to &C.
cur until well into the second half Of
the nineteenth century. England's own
last conviction for witchcraft took
place at Hartford In 1712, and Scot
land condemned a witch ten years
later, while Spain and Germany re-
tanned a judicial belief in witches and
the justice Of killing them until 1882
and 1876.
