There was considerable comment
about town ftodayaregarding the leni.
ency exerted by Circuit Judge Ash
ford in pronouncing sentence on
Hogs and Abrams. The court i'm.
posed fines of 1900 In each case,
while the law provides that where
the amount +enbezzled is more than
500, the court may impose a sentence
of not less than S years or a fine OF
from one dollar to $4,000. The court,
however, may not impose both fine
and Imprisonment.
Regarding the matter of leniency,
City Attorney Brown came to Judge
Ashford's defense today by stating
that he believed the special committee
OF the territorial grand jury, which
visited Judge Ashford in chambers
and requested that sleniency be melted
out to both Hogs and Abrams, had a.
great deal to do with the Judges de-
termination Of the penalty in both
cases.
Il think that lnc special committee
OF the grand jury which waited upon
Judge Ashford and pleaded for leni-
ency for both men. had much to do
with the imposition of money pen
atty rather than a term of imprison-
ment," was the way City Attorney
Brown put it.
Motive Hard to Get At.
Attorney aGilverton, who represent.
ed HoOgs, stated in court yesterday
that it would be hard to ascertain the
motive for the crime committed by
man OF the personality and character
of Hogs.
That solution may be found in this
letter from his mOther-the one per.
son who knows the traits of the de-
PENDANT, both good and bad" he said.
Attorney Milverton then read the
following letter, written by Hogs

CHINA AN EMPIRE AGAIN

Once the Oldest monarchy in the
world, China for a time played the
role of the youngest republic. But
now, after four years of republican
ism. the Middle Kingdom has again
become an empire. Yuan Shi Kai, the
president of the republic, has accept
ed the imperial throne. Twice was
the crown offered him; unlike Caesar,
he put it by only once.
While there is some suspicion that
China never was a real republic but
that the revolution of 1911-12 was
merely a means Of overthrowing the
Manchu dynasty and of placing Yuan
Shi Kai on the throne, the brief taste
of popular government probably will
have a lasting effect on the minds of
the people. The political and intel
lectual revolution which brought about
the change to the republican form un-
doubtedly has greatly accelerated the
advance of the Chinese race.
With an awakening national con-
sciousness and an increasing desire
for western knowledge, the people
probably will never again submit to
the despotism of their former rulers.
Yuan Shi Kai may have brought about
this return to monarchy. but he will
never WELD the power of the old en-
perors.

The common study now pursued by
the University student is mental arith-
metic. This is not the same kind of
mental arithmetic which the younger
school days used to know, but is pc
culiar to Christmas and University,
demands. For example, one problem
might be stated like this: If A owes
B $40 he borrowed and B owes C $50
for rent and both A and B have only
500 between them, how far will A and
B have to walk before they can take
the cars for home and Christmas?
