CONVICT CHARGES CONSPIRACY.
Former Attorney Says Judge Lands,
Government Attorney and Others
COnspircd Against Him.

Chicago, Sept 11.-Charges of
criminal conspiracy were filed in the
United States district court today
against Federal Judge K M. Lands,
Assistant District Attorneys Elwod G.
Goldman and Harry A. Parkin and Mr..
and Mrs. l.. G. Silver The charges
were made by Attorney Hyman Ep-
stein and were based on the affidavits
of Max Gerber, convict of Fort
LeavenwOrth, made while Epstein was
serving a s months sentence for per-
jury committed before Judge Lands.
The charges were made in Judge
Lands court by Epstein, who intro
duced an affidavit while pleading for
a return of his right as attorney to
practice in the United States court.
Epstein charged that he had been
sent to prison on the strength Of a
conspiracy by Judge Lands, the two
government attorneys and Mr.. and
Mrs. Silver.
Epstein represented the Silvers in
bankruptcy proceeding Silver con-
fessed to perjury and gave testimony
which resulted in his and Epstein's
sentence to the federal penitentiary.
Gerber, who was a cell mate of Sill
yer, stated in his affidavit that Silver
had told him that his testimony,
which sent Epstein to prison, was
false.
Epstein revealed the fact that as a
clerk at the mail department of the
prison he had read all of Silver's let
ters to and from his wife. He aroused
Judge Landis' wrath when he read
from q note book quotations from a
letter from Mrs. Silver. Turning to
District Attorney WilkersOn, Judge
lands said:
For your information, 1 will say, I
will never again send a prisoner from
this court to any penitentiary where a
mans private letters are not kept from
the inspection of the other prisoners "

NEW BOOK FOR SHERIFF..
Deputy Sheriff John EppcrsOn De-
viscs Book for Keeping Better Office
Record.

Deputy Sheriff John d. Epperson,
besides running after criminals and
ARE sting them, shooting negroes
when they try to get away from him,
collecting more taxes than any other
shrivcalty officer has ever succeeded
in collecting, and doing stunts in line
of his duty and elsewhere, has taken
time off to devise a new book for the
sheriffs Office which in future as
sureS a better record of tax execu-
tions in that Office than has ever been
kept before in the older record books.
The book has been ordered by the
county from Walker, Evans and Cogs-
well Of Charleston and will be here in
time for the collection of taxes next
season. The county commissioners
have agreed to pay for it and probably
think it a good thing for the county
or they would not have agreed to
spend the money.
The new book is an improvement
on the old one in that it provides
space for a much more detailed list
of properties than the old one, which
was ordered and which has been in
use since 1909. The old record book
merely provides a space for the total
amount of properties on which execu-
tions are taken, not giving any space
for any of the details which save
much time and trouble in the office,
tions have been issued come to pay
their taxes The new book devised
by Deputy Epperson, provides col
umns or spaces, in which each item of
taxes is kept separate. OF course it
is more work for the sheriff's office
to erlist the details, when he first
gets The executions from the county
treasurer, but thereafter he is as
sured much less trouble in finding
out just what taxes have been paid
and what have not been paid.
TIL old book merely listed taxes in
lump sum. The new book gives
space, for real estate, personal prop
erty, dog tax, road tax, and poll tax,
using the same spaces heretofore used
for sheriff's costs, collection costs and
treasurer's cost, etc.
The new method saves time and
trouble in that after the executions
are listed in it, each article stands
out separately and in case the person
wants to pay any one set of taxes, il
is right there in alphabetical order
without the trouble Of going back to
the original tax executions each time

JAPS DEMAND APOLOGY.
China Now Considering Ultimatum
Must Pay Indemnity and Punish
Those Responsible for Insult.

Peking, Sept 11.-President Yuan
Shl kai and his advisers have taken
under consideration the demands
made by the Japanese government
"hich are tantamount to an ulti-
matum, for the killing Of three Japan
ese at Marking, the maltreatment of
a consular messenger, the torture of
japanese lieutenant at Hankow and
the Imprisonment for two davs of q
japanese lieutenant at Shang Tung.
Japan demands an apology for the in
suits to the japanese flag, the punish
ment of those responsible and the
payment of an indemnity. the amount
of which is to be argued later.
The Japanese legation says that the
demands represent the minimum tn
which China must agree without de.
lay; otherwise Japan will take what
action is deemed necessary. A mem
Der of the legation stated privately
today that if the terms were known
at Tokyo the people would consider
that the government had betrayed it's
trust and sacrificed the nations hon
or.
Nanking reports that Gen. Chang
Hsun, commander OF the imperial
forces there, and his soldiers will not
permit the Chinese flag to be flown.
but only red flag with Chang Hsun's
name inscribed thereon. For many
months reports have been current that
Chang Hsun held monarchist views
and there were even reminders that
he intended to proclaim himself en-
peror. His present attitude, however.
may be largely due to the rebuke
which Yuan Shi Kai administered to
him in a public telegram after the
looting Of Nanking.
1t is understood that one of the
japanese demands is for a public
apology from Chang Hsun at the Jap
anese consulate.
Japan's demands, growing out of
the killing of several Japanese at
Nanking, were presented to the Chi
nese government today. Though de-
tails regarding the nature of the Jap
anese note were not available suffi-
cient was CLEANED to know that the
demands were tantamount to an ulti-
matum.
An apology, an indemnity and the
punishment of the guilty soldiers and
officials at Marking are demanded and
the Chinese are required to accept
the terms without delay and without
any bartering.

NO CAUCUS RULE, BUT

That was curious process Of whipping the devil
around the stump, by which the Democratic Senators
bound themselves to support the tariff bill, but did
not bind themselves to support it. They adopted 4
resolution in caucus which declares if party meas
and urges" undivided support Then the men,
bers were called on to get up and say what they
would do about it. The statement is that all the
two from Louisiana have given assurances that they
will stand by the BILL but they have given promises
instead of taking orders from the caucus.
Promises instead of party orders would seem
likely to prove good deal more effective. Caucus
rule is not popular. The man who kicks out of it,
as Hitchcock did, is likely to stand better with his
people than the man who stands for it. 1t would
look, therefore, if the had adopted the most
effective way to get what it wants. while avoiding
little the appearance of using the mailed partisan fist
However, the avoidance of that appearance is
rather nominal than actual. The most partisan spirit
has marked the whole business of preparing and
handling this measure The Democrats have done
the very thing that they loudly decred four years
ago, when it was done by the Republicans They
have made their measure throughout In secret eau
GUS and their hope of passing it-a hope now prac
tically assured of realizaton-es in the substantial
solidarity of party support. 1t is fortunate for the
Louisiana Senators that there is just enough margin
of Democratic strength to let them vote against the
measure without killing it. If they had to choose
between killing the legislation and supporting it.
their position would be pretty nearly impossible
1t is most earnestly to be hoped that there will
never be another tariff revision on the caucus-rule

impossible the scientific consideration of schedules

LABOR PARTIES ASCENDANT.

Australia and New Zealand are frankly and
thoroughly under control of the labor parties; political
organizations that avow their representation of the
army of workers. and that propose the govern
ment in behalf of that interest.
Great Britains labor party is grown powerful
that in its alliance with the liberal elements it
more nearly the dominating factor than any other,
and dictates such measures old age pensions, med
cal attendance at public expense, and the like.
In the German Empire the socialists representing
about the same program the aborites elsewhere,
are by far the most numerous political group, both
In and out of the legislative bodies.
Now it is the Union of South Africa which comes
forward with the organization of political labor
movement that aims at nothing short of revolutionary
wrestling of government from the hands of the gen.
eral community and placing il in control of the labor
ing element.
All the world over there are proofs Of the same
DISPOSITION of labor TO assert itself to insist that
government shall be conducted more in the interest
of the producing classes that do the work of the
world.

A CURRENCY ILLUSTRATION.

The Times has repeatedly suggested to the cur
rency reformers that in this country too much busl
ness is done by banks that is not properly banking
business. 1t is promotion, speculation, organization
and reorganization, syndicatng, trustifyng. banks
proper business in these things 1t is presumed
to gather together the individual surpuses of liquid
capital, and mobilize them into available bodies of
working funds. Their proper use is not such as,
for instance, was made of them by the FirstSecond
National Bank of Pittsburgh, which the financial
engine back of a great speculation in the control
Of water supply systems for many cities.
Gathering up the money of thousands of deposl-
tors and then investing them in slow-moving securi
ties is not the right sort of banking 1t is not done
in countries that have proper banking systems. The
credits that come into banks are liquid. They ought
not to be solided by the processes of banking They
should be kept just nearly fluid quickly realtzabe,
as possible Just to the extent that investments of
bank funds are made in the things that cannot be
realized upon quickly and surely, to that extent the
banking is bad. People who put their money in
banks put it there because they not ready to in
vest it in the very things that this Pittsburgh bank
did invest it in. The bank ought not to assume to
make that sort of investment for them.
