HARRY LAWYER
FOUND GUILTY
Twelve Men Convict Him of Deser-
ton and Non-Support.---Will
Send Him to Jail.
JURORS WAIT FOR THEIR CASH

The most spectacular trial since
the gambling crusade ended was
held in the city council room last
evening, before Justice R. H. Dilts,
when Harry F. Lawyer was tried
by a twelve-man jury and found
guilty of deserving and failing to
support his wife, and the climax
was reached when no money was
forthcoming for the payment of
the jurors and they threatened to
remain on duty all night.
When the case was called the
council chamber was packed with
spectators, and the jurors, twelve
in number Watson Dudbridge,
William Hoffman, Henry Shepherd,
Clarence H. Rex, Wesley Romine,
Ross Swayne, Willard Allen, Cleve-
land Culver, Christopher Knoster.
Kirk Walton, Elmer Shepherd and
Alfred Holcombe overfowed the
councilmanic chairs.
Frank Cleary was counsel for
Mrs. Lucille Lawyer, the complain
ing witness, and Edgar w. Hunt
represented the defendant. The
action was brought under the
statute of 1911, it being alleged
that Lawyer had created deser-
ton by bad treatment of his wife,
and failure to properly support
her.
Mrs. Lucille Lawyer, the wife,
was the first witness. She said
she had been married to Lawyer
about three years ago, and during
that period was compelled to re-
turn to her mothers home three
times on account of non-support
and abuse. She finally left him in
the Fall of 1913, and has not since
returned.
She said that her husband jammed
her head against the wall a week
before she left him the last time.
Mrs. Lawyer said that her husband
was a drunken good for nothing,
and that since she had left him he
only gave her a little money for
the support of herself and the one
child, and nothing since the second
child was born, several months after
she returned to her mothers home.
On cross-eXamination Mr.. Hunt
offered in evidence collection of
receipts, ranging in amount from
Sd down to 81 each, the last date
being February IA, 1914.
Mr.. Hunt wanted to know if the
trouble had not come over the pur-
chase of a dress and waist, with
money given her by the husband
before she left him last October.

on the charge of stealing money
from j. W. Farlee's store.
About 1870 young Stout was seen
watching at the southeast corner of
Union and York streets. Shortly
afterward it is alleged that young
Heller crept out of the store building
and started toward the Coryell street
canal bridge.
Ashbel Wilmot, Harry Meehan and
Lloyd VanHorn were passing at the
time and gave chase. The boys were
caught in the city park at the foot
of Coryell street and held them until
Officer Huselton arrived.
Some eight or nine dollars in cash
was recovered, a part of the money
having been thrown into the bushes
in the park.
The two boys were taken to the
city lookup, but made their escape
during the night. They removed
some floor boards, and then tore
several stones from the foundation
wall, in making getaway. No clue
has been obtained as to their where

so this excitement was, after all,

upon so slight a provocation as this,
the board passed that resolution, and
the superintendent proceeded in hot

He summoned his four assistants

and then the reign of terror began.
In taking up the right of labor to

Labor unions are lawful organiza.
tions. 1t is grossly unjust to legis.

toll. Labor is the only property the

is all he has to sell.'
The climax of the decision came
when the judge looked directly at
Frederick and said:
"Mr. Frederick, the overwhelming
weight of the evidence establishes that
you are guilty of contempt. You can
still do some semblance of justice to
these teachers. Unspeak your bitter
word of Punishment!
"Why blight the lives of these teach
ers. destroy their usefulness, and break
their hearts? would reinstate them
myself If had power under the law
to do so. You owe their reinstatement
to the public, whose servant you are.
You are out of harmony with the
public, your real employer. You are
not employed by the board of educa.
ton, but by the public. In your loyal
service to your nominal masters, the
board, you have drifted away from
your real master, the public.
assure you that in the measure
that you extend consideration to these
teachers, in the same measure will the
court extend consideration to you."
Attorneys for the teachers assert
that the decision paves the way for the.
unionization of teachers in all the
larger cities of the state, and will re-
suit in higher and more uniform
wages-American Federationist.

Judge Rules Public
. School Teachers Have
Right to Organize

In decision replete with scathing
terms and declarations for freedom of
action by teachers, Common Pleas
Judge Neff, of Cleveland, Ohio, found
School Superintendent Frederick. of
that city, guilty of contempt of court
for refusing to obey an order to rein
state six grade teachers who were dis

newly formed union against the orders
Of the board of education.
The decision is remarkable because
OF Its defense of teachers to form a
union, and affiliate with the American
Federation Of Labor, which, the court
declares, is "a lawful organization"
In referring to the resolution of the
board OF education prohibiting teach
ers joining the union, Judge Nefe said:
"The anti-union resolution of the
board was vicious in its principle as
we'll as subversive of constitutional
liberty. If the board can validly dis
criminate against labor unions, then it
may discriminate because of race, or
color, or nationality. or creed, or for
any other arbitrary reason.

1.-THE board had no right to pass the
rule. 1t was an act of folly, and its
principle was vicious, un-American,
unpatriotic and unjust. If the courts
are SO palsied, SO powerless, SO de-
crepit as not to interfere, then judges
ought to be brought to the court house
in wheel-chairs and fed with spoons.
THE high-handed outrage which the
board of education seemed determined
to commit was so spectacular, so glar-
ing, that it was high time that a prec.
edent be made; so this court made
one. and by SO doing saved hundreds

WOULD BAN "TlPPERARy.v

There is one good reason why Catho.
lie young peoples associations in this
country should not give themselves
over to the singing of "'Tis a Long,
L5ng Way to Tipperary." This is that
the song is most decidedly not neu-
trail. 1t rretends to be an Irish song,
but because it is now so popular in
the British army it has taken on a
significance decidedly offensive to
people of German proclivities, and it
would be we'll for English-speaking
Catholics in this country, the vast ma.
jority of whom are Of Irish descent, to
remember that the type of Catholicity
which is made in Germany" is thor
oughly sound and staunch, practical,
well organized and ready to defend
itself against all aggression.
But there is another reason why
Catholics should refrain from singing
the song, as may be seen from the
following editorial extract from our
esteemed contemporary, the Leader
of Dublin:
"A well-known Irish literary man
writes to us with regard to the music
hall song "Tipperary' and the singing
out of Piccadilly and Leicester square
as the happy hunting ground for the
Irish exile. Probably few people in
Ireland know that Pfccadilly and Lei
cester square are correctly regarded
as symbols of the fast and immoral
life of London. Our correspondent,
who Is now living in Ireland, has, to
our knowledge, lived many years in
London, so we can quite understand
his anger when he hears this con-
temptible and miserable 'Tipperary'
being sung.
Apart from the contemplate song
as stage-Irish song, no decent Irish
man, knowing the significance ordi-
narily attached by any one who knows
London to Piccadilly and Leicester
square, would tolerate such song"
Now, we hope our Catholic organi-
cations in this country will put the
ban on this pseudo-Irish "Tipperary.'
At it's best it is only "stage Irish
man" song of the crudest kind. At its
worst it is offensive to the spirit of
American neutrality, and, as the Lead
er points out, it is slur on the NOR
