Rebate on His Jail Sentence.

A San Francisco lawyer tells of the
following quaint administration Of
justice in a sparsely settled district
in Arizona.
A man was sentenced to pay a fine
Of ten dollars or spend ten days In
Jail. Inasmuch as he possessed but
three dollars, the court accepted that
amount in lieu Of three of the days
OF imprisonment.
Now, by some carelessness on the
part of the jailer, this person was
detained in the lookup for the full ten
days. Naturally the man fled q claim
for redress.
When this was presented to the
court the presiding Judge admitted
that the man should have some al
lowance and return" but his honor
could not see any way to accomplish
this. But after due reflection he
made the following suggestion:
"You might get sentenced again for
something. Then we could give you
three days for kind Of rebate, That's
the only way I see to FIX up the
matter"
Powerful searehllahta.
The new electric searchlight projeo-
tors made by the Allgemeine establish
ment OF Berlin are among the most
powerful yet to be produced, and their
candle-power, which is too high for
measurement, can only be reckoned IN
hundreds Of millions. What Is striking
is the new method Of regulating the
arc. The large carbons are now moved
back and forth by small electric mo-
tors and suitable gears; current being
applied to the motors by a set Of re-
lays which work according to the cur
rent taken by the arc, thus securing
an automatic adjustment OF the arc
length in the best way. The base OF
the protector contains other motors
for all the searchlISht movements, and
q distant lever control IL 80 designed
that turning the lever in all directions
makes the protector also follow these
same directions for pointing the beam.
These Bearchlights will carry several
miles and stiil give light enough to
read by.

When the Red Cross Relieved.

1t is possible that none of the many
countries whose representatives form
the International Red Cross has broad
ened the work after the manner of the
American National Red Cross. From
the organization of the body in 1881
the late Miss Clara Barton was presi-
dent until her recent death and soon
after her election began to urge that
its sphere of usefulness, its mission Of
mercy might be broadened by giving
relief in all great calamities. This
principle became cardinal with the
body and the reports show that more
than 100000 has been spent for
such relief, the most notable instances
being the Michigan fires of 1881;
Florida yellow fever, 1888; Johnstown
flood, 1889; Russian famine, 1872;
South Carolina tidal wave, 1893; Ar
menian massacres, 1896; Spanish
American war, 1898; Galveston tidal
wave, 1900; Mont Pelee eruption,
1902, with many other lesser energies
making for the relief Of suffering.

NEW NAMES FOR
| SHANLEY'S PLACE.
John L. Eisele and Henry A.
Guenther Mentioned for
Playground Board.

Unless Bernard NJ. Stanley, jr., who
resigned from the Fairgrounds Com
mission last week, can be persuaded
to reconsider his act. his successor
will in all probability be confirmed by
the Common Council Friday night.
It is understood that, despite the
entreaties of the mayor, the members
of the commission and pressure from
other sources, that Mr.. Stanley will
insist upon being relieved of his duties
as a commissioner. His only reason
for getting out is that owing to bust
ness he is unable to devote the neces-
sary time to the duties of the posi-
ton.
1t was whispered about, in official
circles today that Mr.. Shanley's prob
able successor would be John L.
Eisele. the former Olympic and inter-
collegiate cross-eountry runner. Mr..
Eisele established a great record IN
the athletic world while attending the
Newark Academy and later at Prince
ton University. In 1908 he was 4
member of the American team which
swept the boards at the Olympic
games at London.
Because of his past activities and
his knowledge of sport, it is pointed
out that he is peculiarly fitted for the,
place.
Another who is prominently men
toned is Henry A. Guenther, of 273
Ridge street. 1t is said that Mr..
Guenther has a strong backing and
his supporters figure that he will be
named.
Bernard J. owens, of S52 Sanford
avenue, has also been named as
likely candidate. In fact, his name was
rushed forward just sffter the an
nouncement of Mr.. Shanley's resigna-
ton. Mr.. Owens has been identified
with sports for number of years,
being active in the Knights of Column
bus, Diocesan Union and Father
Mathew T. A. B Society.

Memorial Day.

This city on last Friday paid tri-

have answered the last roll call and
whose memory is cherished by their
two million or more comrades who
fought for the union about one fifth
remain, although most Of these are
hating on the brink of the grave
awaiting their last Bivouac of the
thirty millions who lived in this
country when Sumpter was fired
upon, only a small remnent remains
it is therefore the more creditable
that so long after the vital struggle
for the existence of the nations
memorial day, that it should be OBJ
served so widely. 1t would not be
rational to expect the youth of to-
day to have the same emotions as
those of the Veterans, who with
hating step march to the Eternal
Camping Grounds to pay the tribute
of Devotion to their departed Com
rades.
1t is certain that the spirit of the
observance is not lost. Americans
will not forget the services of those
who died or offered their lives that
the nation might live. 1t is true
that among the thoughtless there is
occasional criticism of the soldier
and his deeds, but this is but a
symptom of youthful ignorance.
