Frugalfty is another of the virtues

Humans are so peculiar. Many Of
them often dislike others they don't
even know.
From the standpoint OF the cost Of
her clothes and hats every woman is

Attempting to shift the blame to

NOT IN A MARTIAL STRAIN
Little of the Exhi!aration That
Accompanies War.

The whilom visitor to West Point
CHANGED to be there on the day that
strong measures against Gen. Veto
riano Huerta were resolved on. He
himself bad seen the news just before
he left New York. As he walked up
the stairs from the station and
strolled leisurely along in front of
cadet old barracks and then cadet
new barracks, there came TO him
across the drill ground sounds of
music-martial strains, were they
not? SO then the news had reached
tile Point, and there was excitement
and patriotic rejoicing. The band
was Just too far away apparently in
the Officers club, to distinguish the
air. But the visitor quickened his
steps in that direction and the not
unpleasant eXhilaration of battle
came over him. The music stopped
and he arrived just as the officers
were leaving. Their sile-arms were,
in the slang of the Point, "fems."
and the only scrap of conversation
he heard was between dappor lieu
tenant-instructor and his fem. Quoth
she:
"oh, lieutenant, | just can't see
how you do that step so well! You'll
just have TO teach me the maxixep-
she pronounced it matchichee.
"Delightul," he volunteered for
service. But you know, we really
haven't any good maxixe music here.
We shall have to get some for the
band" And the martial CONVERSE
ton died away as they walked down
Officers row.

BEN BUTLER

A queer compound was Ben Butler.
He loved his friends very dearly. If
any one did not like him and was a
little conspicuous in showing that dis
like, it was a great JOY to old Ben
to fight him. He was born in Deer
field, N. H., November 9Th, 1918. He
became great lawyer and was one
of the foremost advocates in Boston
for ms ny years. In his practice he
had duel nature. When he thought
the situation demanded it, he did
not shrink from the tactics and man
'ners of the police court lawyer, but
no one could be more courteous and
winsome than he, when opposed by
learned and accomplished men of his
profession. He charged the rich
larger fees, but he tried gratis more
cases for poor men than any other
lawyer in Boston. From the first
he was the sincere friend Of the poor
working man or woman. He had
many rough ways, but his life was
true and absolutely clean.
When the great civil war burst
upon the country he was given the
) ~
commission of brigadier general of
volunteers.
He was sent to take and govern
New Orleans. There he performed
most conspicuous service. After the
capture of the city, in a strictly mill
tary way he established order. For
The Idaho Republican., 1914-10-30

to the county courthouse, where he
was arraigned before Judge Bryan
of Caldwell, the Seventh judicial dis.
trict, sitting for the judges of the
Third district. Hero again all pre-
liminaries were waived and Mr.. Allen
pleaded guilty to the offense as
charged, embezzlement of $7O,354.-
68.
Demands Maximum
The proceedings were not as
smooth sailing as had been expected,
however, for County Attorney Givens
sprung surprise on Mr.. Allen and
his attorney when he asked the court
to. extend the minimum of the SEN
tence to five years. Mr.. Givens ex-
planned that by a peculiar condition
of the laws in Idaho, the penalty for
an ordinary embezzler was from one
to IA years, while for public official
who makes away y.th the funds en-
trusted in his hands by the state the
term is one to 10 years.
Z "The court, however," said Mr..
'Givens, ''has tie power to remedy
this apparent defect since, by an act
of the legislature, in cases of this ma
ture it has been given the power to
increase the minimum to one-half
the maximum, thus making the SEN
tence five to 10 years. For the rea-
son that the case in question involv-
ed such q large amount Of money it
appears to ne that the minimum SEN
tence of from one to 10 years is en-
tirely inadequate and I therefore ask
that the court make the minimum
one-hclf the maximum, five years.
Speaks of Confidence
Mr.. Lingenfelter was on his feet in
an instant. II protest agains:. such a
demand from the district attorney"
he said. II understood that in our
conference before the trial be had
agreed that the sentence to be passed
upon Mr.. Allen should he but the SEN
The Idaho Republican., 1914-10-30

tence required by law, one to 10
years. There are other circumstances
which | am not at liberty to divulge
which sho I'D be offered in extenua-
tion.
"One minute in that penitentary is
sufficient punishment for man with
such delicate sensibilitie3 as you or l
or Mr.. Allen, and | submit that one
year, the minimum, is even too long
a time to confine a man in prison
when the circumstances are such as
these. Mr.. Allen has come here will
ingly, so soon as he knew that he was
wanted. He has made no defense and
he waived all his statutory rights
and it seems to me that the utmost
consideration should be shown him."
Charges Breach of Faith
Mr.. Givens' reply was short. He
said he realized that Mr.. Allen had
made no defense, but he felt that as
an officer of the state he had his
duty to perform and that it must die
tate, in spite of what might be the
dictates of his personal feelings. He
said he believed that before the court
all men were equal, and he expected
that Mr.. Allen would be dealth with
by the court the same as any other
offender.
Had l known that the prosecutor
had the intention of asking for this
sentence" answer Mr.. Lingenfelter,
II should never have let my client
plead guilty. can assure your
honor of that, and I charge Mr..
Givens with distinct breach of faith.
/ do not see why the prosecuting at
torney has the right to ask the court
to change the law to suit him. Nor
do we ask that one lett.r of the law
be abrogated. One day in the peni-
tentiary takes away the sweetness of
life and it seems to me that, in view
of the circumstances the (one-year
minimum is enough, and that,
whether or not he b. released then,
be left to the discretion of the pardon
board"
Comments on Law
Mr.. Givens then explained that the
only statement he had made in re-
gard to the term was to reply to a
question of Mr. Lingenfelter that the
law provided sentence of from one
to 10 years, and that he would have
replied in the same manner had the
judge asked him the sentence provid-
ed in any other crime. He suggested
that Mr.. Lingenfelter, as an older
and more experienced lawyer. had
every advantage that he had and that
he had the statutes of Idaho at his
disDOsal.

DETAILS OF ALLEN
EMBEZZLEMENT
Punishment Comes Quickly Deputy
Fred Coleman Puts up Fight

Treasurer of the state of Idaho
two days ago, o. V. Allen, is now
serving a sentence of from FIVE to
ten years in the state penitentiary.
Arrested Wednesday night at the
complaint of Cove nor Haines, he
waived preliminary hearing Thurs
day, appeared in district court, plead
ed guilty to the charge of embezzle-
ment, waived all statutory rights,
and after a brief but pointed ex-
change of words between his attor-
ney and County Attorney Givens, he
was sentenced by Judge Bryan to
the heaviest term possible under the
Idaho statutes.
Arrest Treasurer; Fix Bond
Sheriff Roberts served the warrant
on Mr.. Allen Immediately after the
complaint was made Wednesday
night. He found Mr.. Allen at his
home in the HURT apartments. He
was taken to the Offices of the prose-
cutting attorney, Mr.. Givens, and ar
raigned before Justice of the Peace
Bower shortly after midnight.
Bond was fixed for Mr.. Allen to
the sum of twenty thousand dollars.
This he was unable to furnish at the
time and was remanded to the GUS
tody of the sheriff. Mr. Allen was
not taken to the county Jail but with
the assent of the representative of
the surety company was guarded in
his home. His preliminary hearing
was fihed at that time for Monday
morning.
His resignation was not accepted
by Governor Haines On advice from
the attorney generals office ON the
ground that it might invalidate the
bond
Justice of the Peace Bower called
the preliminary hearing 1T 1880 p.
M, in the office of c. H. Li1genfelter,

was waived and Mr.. Allen was taken

Caused Criticism
At the time Coleman was appointed
deputy treasurer by Treasurer Allen
there was protest both in and out
of the state house, but Treasurer AL
len overrode all objections and put
Coleman in. Nothing could be done
by the other members of the admin
istration as they had nothing to do
with the appointment of the treasur-
Ier's office force.

plant against Fred NJ. Coleman,
former deputy in the state treasurer's S
