responsibility into politics. 1t is the
challenge by the forces of better gov
ernment to the brigands who have
long abused the powers of govern
ment. In Pennsylvania, in particu-
lar, it is the effort of a clean citizenry
to dislodge the, power of bosses and
machines maintained by Quay, per-
petuated by Boies Penrose and used
always to the disgrace and shame of
the commonwealth.
Until direct election of senator's came
into vogue, it was useless in such
states as Pennsylvania to challenge
the power of the machine in the Sc
lection of federal senator's. In such
states, in effect, the, selection was
made through g system of interlock-
ing political directorates even before
the election of members of the legis.
lature was held. The realization tina,
through direct election. the power OF
Penrose and his lieutenants is shat
tered, gives hope to the forces of pure
government, and there is broad call
to men of the Pinchot type to stand
for the senate.
The direct election of senator to

WITH BOOTLEGG|NG
Frank Ohgeto Alleged to Have Sold
beer In Dry Unit--Case VIII he
Tried Before Justice Swain

Upon warrant issued at the re-
quest of Mayor A. e. Shaw, which
| charged that he had dispensed in
toXicating liquors in a dry unit,
Frank Ohgeto, an Italian laborer,
was hailed before Justice George
Henry Monday afternoon, where he
entered a plea of not guilty, and was
bound over for trial. The investiga-
ton which resulted in the arrest fol-
lowed complaint by Ed Horner that
the Italian, who resides with his
family on Military hill, was engaged
in illegal traffic in liquor. Horner
was delegated by Mayor Shaw to Sc
cure evidence, and alleges that he
visited the home of the Italian and
purchased a bottle of beer for %
cents, as we'll as two drinks of the
intoxicant. Upon this evidence Mar
shall Butler was sent to the residence
Sunday night to make the arrest
| The Italian was released, upon the
pleadings of his wife, on cash bail
of $50.
The defendant appeared for the
preliminary Monday afternoon, &C
companied by fellow countryman,
and after Judge Henry had extended
his patience to the utmost in an eff
fort to solve the meaning of the ges-
| lures and jargon of the two Italians
it became apparent that they desired
to deny the guilt of the accused, and
they were bound over for trial,
which was set for Tuesday morning
at 10 o'clock In the meantime the
defendant secured the services of At
torney John w. Mathews to defend
him, and the attorneys request for
change of venue was granted, JUS
tice Swain being named as the mag
| strate to sit on the case. Mr.. Swain
has not yet set the day for the trial.
but it will probably occur on Monday
or Tuesday of next week
The case is an interesting one and
will be watched with interest. The
prosecution will base it's case prob
ably upon the bottle of beer, which
is alleged to have been purchased
from the Italian, which will be intro
duced as evidence. On the other
hand, the defendant, it is alleged,
will fight the case upon the conten-
ton that the bottle of beer in the
hands of the prosecution is of Col
fax brew, while the beer which the
defendant had in his house Is of
Spokane manufacture. Prosecutor
r. NJ Burgunder will come to Pull
man to handle the states side of the
case.

alone when the fire occurred and
was able to save but few chairs. be-
fore running almost half a mile to
the W. L. Paullus home for help.
The household goods were insured.

On Saturday last, while ATTEMPT

had blown down, back on the barn,
Ward Paullus, 11-year-old son of W.
f, Paullus, was painfully injured by
having the door fall on him. He
and his two younger sisters were
alone and the little girls were able
to remove the barn door, and soon
summoned help and a doctor who
discovered the little boy had sus-
tanned fractured rib and severely
sprained shoulder and hip.

PULLMAN LANDMARK BURNED

One of Pullman's oldest 1andm ar1{s
was destroyed last Saturday when
the residence owned by A. j. Hoch-
radel on East Main street, was gut
ted by fire which originated in the
kitchen. The residence was built
more than 25 years ago, and for sew
eral years was occupied by G. M.
stearns, one of Pullman's pioneer
attorneys. Later the property was
purchased by William Chambers, and
Mr.. Hochradel became the owner
about three years ago. The residence
was occupied by Peter Christensen
a blacksmith, who had moved in
only a short time previous to the
fire. The residence was insured in
the sum of $1,000. which will prob
ably cover the loss, most of the
household goods being saved.

James Pendry was seriously n
jured Monday morning while work
ing on the new college buildings, and

though it is probable that he will
recover. Pendry was operating the
donkey engine used to hoist bricks,

heavy hoist, weighing 400 pounds,
fell, the crank striking him on the
forehead and nose. He was at
once taken to the Pullman nos

Doctors Kinney and Patee. The ex-
animation disclosed a depressed frac-

on the head and face. At last reports
the injured man was resting easily
and his complete recovery is prob
able, although he will be incapaciat-
