Judge Sulzberger now declares this

The cause of the act Judge Sulzber-
ger sums up three reasons which the
scheming legislators had to circum-
vent before they could legalize a
pledge of workingman's future
wages:
! First "A legal pledge or assign
ment must be of something. in exis-
tence. Future wages do not qualify
under this.
"secon d-The policy of our com

tachment of creditors, wages even

"Third-This court has decided that
a man cannot pledge or assign wages
to be earned in the future, Because
such a pledge or assignment creates

are good-for men. But there are
no arrangements whatever for Wom-
en-. At the time of our previous visits
to- the Jail Miss Sellins was the only
woman confined, with conditions such
that she could not leave her cell. On
July 6 the writer found the jail crowd
ed, with four other women prisoners.
Only Miss Sel1ins was in her cell. The
other women were associating freely
with the male prisoners, there being
no restriction whatever.
You mus t understand that Miss
Sellins could not be upon another
floor" as your official informant
wrongly informs you. There is but
one floor" The cells are built in
tiers, in the center of the big room,
from the floor to the roof, and her
cell is on the top tier A grating
runs around each tier, of separated
steel bars. A girl from a restaurant
bringing meals to Miss Sellins COM
planned that she could not walk along
this grating because men in the cells
below held small mirrors directed up
through the grating and under her
skirts. Miss Sellins states that she
cannot remove her clothing for the
reasons that men can pass at will be-
fore her cell, the bars, of course, not
obstructing the view of the whole in
terror, with her in her bed She com
plains that on Saturday night, July
| 4, or early in the morning, two men
stood at the bars of her cell, chatting
her, though she did not make reply,
and when she reported this to the
jailer in the morning, he told her they
were police officers who had brought
in some prisoners. This place is used
as a city lookup, also, and SO prison
ers are brought in at all hours of
the night, for all sorts of offenses.
Many are very drunk, so that during
the night there is much shrieking and
cursing.
Miss Sellins states that size has ney-
er been outside of her cell but twice,
once when, shortly after her arrival.
she was quite ill and was taken out
briefly by the sheriff, and once when
she was taken to the porch of the
jailer's home to sign an appeal bond

The Committee Answers.
Weheling, w. Va, July Z, 1914.
Mr. james A. Finch,
Department of Justice,
Washington, d. G.
Dear Sir:
We feel that we are compelled to
reiterate that the information before
us at present, at the time of our last
letter to you, and at the time of the
previous communications was correct,
and that your information has not
been authentic.
| It is true that the affidavits sent you
pertained to a time about May 18
(which you now say was.a month and
half ago, but you will recall that
you said in your letter that Fannie
Sellins never was in jail, or, rather
never behind the bars, and these at
fidavits wer sent you to d1saprove
that assertion.
However, the writer of this visited
Miss Sellins in the Marion county
Jail at Fairmont July 5, and can make
afhdavits sustaining for that date, in
every particular, the affidavits for
May IS, except that her condition is
worse now than before.
Your informant now says, as we
understand it, that she t'was" to be
released, when he had previously said
that she "had" been released, and,
further, that she had never been "be-
hind the bars" If this phrase is used
I'M this instance to signify cell, in
stead of Jail, as usually used, we
still insist that he made misstate-
ment, which is difficult to satisfac'
torily explain. She has been ever
since her sentence, and is now, in
Ia jail and in cell.
We learn that .affidavits have been
made by Fairmont jail officials to the
effect that she is not confined in a
cell with men," and we notice this
reference in your letter. We are en-
tirely unable to see the need for such
palpably labored effort to disaprove
charge that was never made. The
word ttjaiP' was used in each of our
letters to your department, in our
telegram, in the newspaper articles
mat have appeared, on the postals we
nave caused to be circulated, and in
every reference we have seen. We
naturally resent an assumption which
IS not justified and witch seems to be
circulated to have the effect of our
seeming to have made false state
ments.
And we believe that ..jail' is enough
TO justify complaint. From a sani-
airy point Of view the Marion Jail is
exceptionally good. Its arrangements

You i'll admit, think, that / should not
be charged with impartiality in ac-
cepting these statements.
Upon receipt Of your telegram 1 at
once communicated with the jailer
and also with the district attorney re-
garding the matter. Please convey to
your organization my assurance that
my greatest endeavor in the Office l
lold is to be absolutely impartial to
every applicant who presents an ap-
peal to the President for executive
clemency. It should be borne in mind,
however, that this Office is hundreds
and sometimes thousands of miles
away from the scene of action, and
our only means of securing informa-
zion is by correspondence and through
reports, and the only thing the De
partmet can do is to try to judge fair
ly according to the information be
fore it.
In contempt cases, while the Presi-
dent has the power to extend pardon,
and has in few instances done so,
yet no President has ever, so far as ]
can ascertain, extended clemency in a
case Of this character without the
acquiesence of the court. 1t would be
necessary for the President to satisfy
nself very clearly that the courts
orders were illegal and oppressive be-
fore he would be justified in acting
at all This, you know, is matter
which pertains directly to the judicial
branch of the Government, and would
necessarily take considerable time.
So far as the joint affidavit you en-
nj &c %1,0% -
claim that they saw Fannie Sellins in
Jail May IS, 1914, and described the
conditions which obtained at that
tibe. This you should note is month
and a half ago. My information was
that photographer attempted to have
the jailer place the woman behind
bars in order that he could take a
picture showing her to be confined be-
hind bars, but she was not so confined,
an adhe could not, therefore, take such
a picture; that they did, however,
place the woman near the bars so that
the bars did appear in the picture.

attorney within few days.
Very truly yours,
JAMES A. FINCH,
Pardon Attorney.

attorney, who says that it was his un-

THE FINISHED FUNMAKER,
 FRANK PENNEY AZ PARK
(Revlew.l

Charles H. Waldron's Trocadero burIesauers, featuring Frank F1nney. assisted by Sam Adams, Florence Ben- nett, Minnie Burke and John P. Grif- hth in leading parts came to the Park theatre yesterday for q three days run, and so far cast into the shade any previous burlesque production that has shown. here this season. that the Tro- caderos may be considered the shin ing sun of the Main wheel. I
 The piece is entitled "The Legend of the Ring and the theme prevails throughout in a manner which pro- duces unity and allows an added op- portunity for jest and jfbe. The book is by Frank Finney with music by Harry Afford and dancing numbers by Leon Erro1.
 From the very rise of the curtain it is assured that laughter will con tinue, for while the play is not new and has been seen in Bridgeport be- fore, this very fact Is in it's favor, for it is a finished product in which every line contains the punch of laughter with sufficient pep introduced to keep both action and Iproar at it's height. Not only is this to be con sidered it's meritorious point but not a, member of cast or chorus lacks in activity, ability, or characterization The first scene is laid on a lawn or an estate, While the second is in India The scenic effect and costum- ing is all that can be desired
 Frank F1nney in his usual charac- ter ranks first in the list of fuumak- CTS, having a part that enninent1y suits him, but to which he adds as occasion permits by ad lib offerings that are both polite and pleasing Sam J. Adams, as the Majors footnan is a scream and puts across his speciality with a vim and purpose that becomes infectious from it's spreading laugh germs.

 John P. Griffin in his usual part of ''The Major" and later doubling into the Hindoo prince portrays his parts perfectly.
 Others in the cast and even from the chorus ranks deserve notice which space does not permit, for it may be said that in every department Tie Trocaderos is one of the best offerings ever seen here in bur1esque, and fol- lowing the previous attempts to mod ernize this branch of theatrica1s and depart into new showings. comes as a drink of water to the tired desert traveller.

RECORD or THE CINCINNATI

RECORD or THE CINCINNATI
 REID STOCKINGS IN 1869
 We now come to the third notewor-. thy tour of the decade of the 60's and ebrated Cincinnati Red Stockings in 1889 through the country at large from New England to the Pacific Coast and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf. In fact. the Cincinnati's sea- son of 1869 was a season of tours. E After beating all the prominent clubs of Illinois, Indiana. and Ohio,. they went East, and defeated every club in the Atlantic cities, viz, in Troy, Albany, Boston. New York. Phil Eadelphfa, Baltimore and Washington Including the MutuaIs. At1antics. Eek lords and Athletics. Then they went West to St. Louis. and also to San Francisco, and ended the season of 1869 without the loss of a single game, thereby becoming the legitimate cham pions of the base ball world Of that period.
 The Cincinnatis visited New Orleans in 1870, winning games there by de-. feating the Pelicans, Southern Allan ties, Lone Stars and Robert B. Lee hines of that city. Tn May they de- feated every club they played with in Kentucky, Tennessee and Ohio.
 Then they went East again and from June 1 to June 4, they defeated every team they played with, includ- ing all the Boston clubs and the Mu- tuals of New Y fork, the latter by 16 to 3. But they met with defeat at the hands of the Atlanie club of Brook lyn by 8 to in Il innings, and this was the first defeat the Red Stock ings had sustained since September, 186s. From April 21 to November 5, 1870sx the Cfncinnatis played "A games and lost but 6. but two of them were with the professional team of Chicago and that lost them the nom inal championship of 1870. though in every other respect they had equa1ed their leading opponents that year.
 Going over the records of the prom Einent clubs of the country of 1870,
