THE FRAUENbANK
SUBJECT OF ATTACK

BERLIN, July 1.-THE celebrated
"Women's Bank" in Berlin, conduct
ed exclusively by and for the fair
sex, is under fire in the financial
press because of alleged mismanage-
ment. Five years old this spring, it
makes a speciality of allowing wives
to open accounts without the per-
mission of their husbands-a heart
less formality required by manrun
German banks. The German press
enjoys wide latitude of criticism, and
and popular organs like the .Tage
blatt" and "Morgenpost" are openly
warning the female public to be
ware" of further dealings with the
Frauenbank until its business meth
DDS have been cleared up or radi-
cally altered.
The bank has latterly been in con-
flict with the authorities. While the
management is not accused of viola
tions of the law, it is said to be
addicted to practices at least I'M
common in the banking world. One
of them is alleged to be a system of
tempting" impecunious women to
become borrowers on semi usurious
terms, and another, the paying of
commissions to woman agents, who
secure customers or new sharehold-
ers for the bank. The Frauenbank's
underlying ambition is to free Ger
man womankind from the tyranny of
male capital" kA4E

BOARDING THE WATER WAGON

The ostracism of the whisky drug
gist really did more to pulverize the
rum power in Kansas than any other
one act of the quarter century. Every
Kansas county had in Jail at least
one genial and urbane pill-pounder
who was the life of the company at
the card club The state cinched its
victory by passing a supplemental
law absolutely prohibiting the sale of
liquor of any kind for any purpose
medicinal, religious or mechanical.
That law is enforced wherever the
prohibitory law is enforced at all.
The prohibitory law is now en-
forced in hundred of the one hun
dred and five counties of the state,
and it is enforced as rigidly as any
law on the statute book. So rigidly
is the prohibitory law enforced that
juries in those hundred counties con-
vict men on evidence for violating
this law who are known as second
offenders and whose conviction sends
them not merely to Jail but to the
penitentiary.
The battle is won. The wet-and-
dry issue now rarely comes into a
contest in a Kansas town or county
election Formerly, in the days of
the eighties, the suspicion that a
man consorted with the prohibition =
lists handicapped a candidate. He
had to explain that he ran with the
decent element merely for the pur-
pose of deluding the good people out

the same status as a professional
criminal. He has no standing in the
profession; no organization works for
his release; no lawyer unasked comes
to plead his case. The path to the
Jail and the rock pile is creased Ar
rest means conviction.
In three counties-Leavenwor
Atchison and Sedgwick-there are
sporadic commissions of the Rum
Fiend that seem to indicate vitality;
but it is mere alcoholic reaction in
the dead muscles. These were the
last counties to surrender their in
alienable right to whisky. In two
counties in the small mining towns
there are open saloons-Cra wford
and Cherokee-but in the larger
towns even these counties enforce
the law absolutely prohibiting the
sale of liquor for any purpose,
and after the law sending confirmed
offenders to the penitentiary, came a
law called the custer law
This law permits the attorney gen
eral of the state to bring before the
supreme court of the state officers
whose duty it is to enforce the law
in counties end in towns where the
law is not enforced; and if the at
torney general can show that the
law is not enforced the supreme court
Gusts the officers of the county and
new men are appointed in place of
the negligent public servants. 1t
works. 1t works so well that now,
after five years of the operation of
this law, as a capsheaf of the legis-
lation that has preceded this custer
law, it may be said that the resolve
of Kansas to quit and stay quit is
definitely and finally achieved
Kansas has sworn off and has
made the swear-off stick: and the
swearing off is effective and perman
ent for exactly the same reason that
| it becomes effective in a man. The
old tissue of the state degenerated
by alcohol has Disappeared; a new
citizenship dominates the state. No
| vestige of property right remains in
the Kansas liquor traffic. The brew
cry has been a crumbling ruin for
twenty years The wholesale liquor
| house has vanished

RAIL WAY BUILDING
A SWISS MANIA

BERNIE, July 11.-Notwithstandin
that there is already a sum of near
ly $SO,O00,000 invested in Swiss pri-
vate and narrow uage railways
which do not pay any dividends, the
government is constantly granting
concessions for the building of new
lines-not because these are wanted
for purposes of general utility, but
because a mania for mountain rail-
ways seems to be passing over
The latest concession to be grant
ed is for a line from Kandersteg to
the little mountain lake, 5,185 feet
altitude, known as the Oeschinen-
see. This pygmy line, which will be
less than two miles long, will cost
it is estimated $4,000 to build, or
an average of more than $4,000 pei
mile. OF the other concessions for
new mountain railways granted, al
though no attempt has yet been made
to work them, no capital being forth
coming, one is for a line from Grin
dewald to the Faulhorn; another
from Grindenwald over the Great
Scheidegg 20 Neiringen; another
from tSalden in the Zermatt Valley,
to Saas Fee: and, quite recently one
from Frutigen to Adelboden.

TRIAL OF
JACK SHEPPARD

John Sheppard, commonly known as
Jack" is the most picturesque figure
in English criminal history. Of poor
but honest parents, who left him an
orphan when quite young, Jack fol-
lowed a career of crime that was as
remarkable as it was daring, and fin
ally wound up suspended upon a glib
bet at Tyburn at the youthful age of
twenty-five.
The first theft of this prince of
thieves" was that of two spoons, and
shortly afterwards, by his own con-
fession. Il fell to robbing almost ev
eryone that stood in my way" In April
1924, owing to the treachery of his
brother, and other associates, he was
committed to ST. Giles Roundhouse
from which he skillfully made his es-
cape.
Like adventures of unparalleled cool
ness and imprudence followed in quick
succession, and on Whit Monday, May
rs, 1924, he broke out of New Prison
His escape involved getting rid of new
irons, cutting through a double grill of
new oaken and iron bars, descending
twenty five feet by means of a sheet
and blanket, and then scaling a wall of
twenty-five feet, which he surrnount-
ed with companion on his back.
Shortly he was again apprehended
through the betrayal of the celebrated
receiver of stolen goods, Jonathan
Wild
Sheppard was tried at the Old Bal
ley before Justice BLACKBERRY, on August
IA, 1724, and condemned to death He
was tried upon three indictments. Sew
eral other prosecutions might have
been brought against him, but this was
thought sufficient to rid the world of
so capital an offender. He begged
earnestly for transportation to the
most extreme part of his majesty's do
minions. He pleaded youth and ignor-
ance as the motive that had precipitat
ed him into the guilt; but the court,
deaf to his opportunities, gave him nc
satisfactory answer.
The date set for his execution was
Friday September 4. Only several days

before that date he was again able to
escape, and was not recaptured until
September 10, when he was taken back
to his cell and chained down to the
floor. This they felt was not suffi-
GENTLY secure, SO he was taken to
dungeon known as the Castle. where
he was chained to heavy iron bars
Now it was thought that he was be-
yond all possible chance of escape. On
the 18th of October, however. when his
keeper visited his cell he beheld al
most CARLOAD of bricks and rubbish
about the room and the prisoner gone.
Six great doors, one of which had not
been open for seven years. were forced
and found ajar, he having passed d.
rectly to the street by the main hall
and stairway.
He wrote his jailers a polite letter
and at once took to stealing again. He
was apprehended on November 10 and
was at once carried to the Kings Bench
Bar at Westminster. where the record
of his conviction was read and it was
ordered that he be hung on Monday
The day came, but Jack had still
some hopes of eluding justice One of
his projects was that as soon as his
body was cut down his companion
should take it and put it in warm bed
and bleed him, for he believed if such
care were taken they might bring him
to life again.
Sheppard was hanged at Tyburn on
Monday November is. 1924 He died
with great difficulty When he had
hung about quarter of an hour his
body was cut down by soldier and de-
livered to his friends, but instead Of
carrying out his suggestions they bur-
led him.
Sheppard was for a considerable
time the common subject of converse
ton. Several different histories of his
life were published at the time His
portrait was painted by no less dis
tinguished artist than Sir James
,Thornhill: poems were written about
him. and his adventures were dramat-
lied. and for some time he became the
leading subject of many pulpit invec-
tives.

Obituary

1t is with sadness that we chronicle
the death of little Il. A. Howell, the
son of DR.. and Mrs. J. G. Howell of
Stantonville, who died June 10, 1914.
The taking of E. A. was a sore be-
reayement to the father, mother and
little brothers. He had come to be
the joy and delight of the home, and
had brought much happiness to the
entire household. He was such a
friendly, cheerful, affectionate child
that he was loved by everyone who
knew him. But Jesus said Suffer
little children to come unto Me, for
of such is the kingdom of heaven"
He has gone out of the home here
below to be with Jesus in the home
above. How sweet for him, but how
sad for his loved opes to give up one
they loved so dearly, one who had
made the home sunny for such short
while Che was only l. months and 6
days old. To the empty handed
loving mother and devoted father we
ask that the Lord may give you grace
to say in full recognition "Thy will
be done," and may you strive as near
as you can to live close to the deaf
Lord. AS you shed tears Of kcneli
ness, think not Of E. A. as dead, hn'
alive, at the right hand Of Go
watching and waiting at the beaui
ful gate to welcome you to The Lone
Of the soul. NJ. A.

Judge Lurton, member of the
Supreme Court of the United
States died suddenly Sunday.
For several months he has been
in declining health, eliminating
in heart failure. Judge Lurton
was chief justice of our state
supreme court. Afterwards he
was appointed by Pres. Clevsr
land to the U. S. circuit court,
and by Pres. Taft he was ap-
pointed associate justice. He
was nearly 70 years of age. 1t
is thought that Pres. Wilson
would do the proper thing to, ap-
point w. H. Taft to a post which
he has long desired and which he
so graciousiy gave to the deceased
Judge Lurton.
