WITHIN THE LAW"

The'following is from the Manistee,
Mich, News Advocate of Sept. ID,
1915, on the same east a. appears at
Mineral Point, Monday. Ccy. rs:
big money is not to be made be-
cause of the law, but in spite Of it. 1t
is made by men who can afford to hire
big lawyers 10 show them how to break
| the law. | went to Jail for something
did not do. When | came out the po-
lice wouldn't let me earn an honest liv-
ing. Well, now I'm making more than
a living dishonesty and my lawyer is
showing me how to do it. ="
Such is the theme of within the
Law, " by Bayard WELLER This melo-
drama was presented at the Ramsdell
theatre last night and no more enter
tanning and exciting play has been seen
here this season. In spite of the terrif-
c caprices of the weather, which cut
down the box office sale to minimum,
the theatre was well filled and the au-
dience was held in rapt attention as the
melodrama was unwound by most
capable cast of players.
The story of within the Law" deals
with police oppression, disclosed in its
most brutal form and cropping out
from the main story 10 preachment
against capital that underpays its hire
lings and forces them into dishonesty.
1t is with theft in big department
store that the action begins. Mary
Turner. unjustly convicted of stealing
goods, is sentenced to prison for three
years, but before she starts out on her
term takes occasion to hurl TRADE at
the store owner and a vow that she will be
avenged. Once out of prison, Mary
Turner is disclosed as olackmailer
and accomplished confidence worker.
But she always keeps within the law"
by the aid of skilled attorneys, one of
her associates declaring that ''Habeas
Corpus is my lawyer middle name. "
Mary's plan of vengeance 10 to marry
the son of the department store man
who sent her to prison. and she finally
accomplishes her purpose. But when
she goes to the elder GiiRer's house
to prevent burglary planned by her
associates both she and Gildnor's son
become involved in the murder OF one
of the crooks "a stool pigeon in the EN-
ploy of the police.
The presenting cast last night was
capable in every respect and made the
audience feel deeply and actually per-
petrate little thinking. Mary Tur-
ner is superbly acted by Dorothy Lev
ern, who appears equal to every de-
mand of the difficult role. Tom Coye
as Dick Gildner, is a dutiful son and an
ardent lover in every respect. His
loyalty TO Mary Turner wrings the
heart of the audience. Another inn
portant role we'll taken was that Of
Aggie Lynch, one Of the confidence
played by Bessie Bennett.
Albert West made decided hit ia the
role of Joe Carson, ever loyal to Mary,
while the balance of the interpreting
cast was well in keeping with the leads.

The Eitel Interned.

On the 10th Of March the German
converted cruiser Prinz Eitel Fried
rich ran into Hampton roads after a
long career Of commerce raiding in
course Of which she sank many yes
sels, including an American ship
laden with non-contraband grain.
Under precedent established in the
case of a similar German vessel at
Honolulu the ordinary rule of TWEEN
ty-four hours tolerance for a bellig-
erent ship of war was waived and the
Eitel was granted an undisclosed
period for repairs and supplying in
order to prepare her for a return TO
sea. Promptly squadron of French
and British warships assembled off
the capes, prepared to attack the
Eitel on her exit from American wa
tiers. After fully coaling and pro-
visioning and the display of many
signs of preparation for dash to
sea, the Eitel has now been interned
at. the expiration Of her time limit.
and she will remain dismantled at
Norfolk navy yard during the re-
mainder of the war, and her officers

Men "Higher Up."

The result Of the trial at Indian
apolis of the men charged with cleo
ton frauds at Terre Haute last No
vember should have wholesome ef-
feet on the politics of Indiana. Many
details of how such skulduggery is
conducted were brought out, and the
recklessness of managing politicians
when overeager for success revealed.
1t was story of corrupt top con-
trolling and directing a corrupted
bottom.
In fights against graft and in those
against election frauds there are al
ways references to men higher up"
But the matter seldom goes beyond
a reference. Such men are rarely
exposed. Whatever is done is di-
reeted at the tools of such men, and
there ends. Only the tools are pun
ished. Those who have profited most
Evening star., 1915-04-08

by the crimes committed remain un-
der cover, and are left free to re-
peat their performances at the first
opportunity with new tools, easily
procurable in cities. large and small,
, where wastrels congregate.
! 1t is eminently to the credit of the
/ federal district attorney in Indiana
! that in taking up the case of the
Terre Haute elections he prosecuted
his inquiry until he reached the men
/ higher up" And several were pretty
high. One was politician of state
wide acquaintance, and ambitious to
be governor Another was judge.
Still others were in Offices of trust
and powerful because of that fact
They were taken in the net along
with habitucs of low barrooms and
brothcls, and all have been convicted
in court together. Some confessed
without waiting for trial.
II graft is eliminable and election
frauds preventable in our public at
fairs. the steady drive must be along
the lines followed by this Indiana
official. The men higher up are
the dangerous offenders. They or
ganize the crimes committed, and
supply the means for committing
them. And they divide the great
bulk of the swag secured. If it is
graft, they pay their tools but a pit
tance. If it is political preferment.
they enjoy that wholly. The poor
creatures who slug or repeat. or do
both. at the polls are never qualified
for Office, and never expect or get
more than the price of days work.
1t is reported that the investiga-
ton may go further; that the CAM
paigning i'll Indiana last year was
reckless and unscrupulous elsewhere
than in Terre Haute, and that the
success just achieved with the Terre
Haute cases may encourage the au-
thorities to follow up charges OF a
like nature that have reached them
from and about other localities.

and crew will be paroled on oath not
to take part in the war in any way.
The American treatment of the
Eitel has been liberal and consider
ate, in some views almost to an ex-
treme. Every facility has been at
forded the vessel to prepare for a
run to sea, and during the latter days
of her time allowance precautions
have been taken to prevent the sail
ing of merchantmen flying the flags
of her enemies, and thus automati-
cally under international law post
poning her departure. American bat
tie ships were prepared to enforce
neutrality in her behalf. No COM
plant can possibly come from the
German government regarding the
treatment of the Eitel, though per-
haps the British and French govern
ments may regard the United States
as unusually consideratc of the
fugitive vessel.
Capt. Thierichsen explains that he
waited until the last hour in the hope
of receiving aid for a dash to sea,
and that the failure of the aid to ar
rive compelled him to intern his ship.
His decision was doubtless wise. in
asmuch as the Eitel had only slen-
der chance of escape from immedi-
ate destruction upon passing the
three-mile limit. and even if she had
escaped the direct Gordon she would
have had the greatest difficulty in
reaching a home port. The question
of immediate interest is as to the
aid mentioned by Capt. Thierichsen
as expected. just what assistance
was possible in the circumstances re-
mains mystery. Only one German
cruiser is known to be in this part
of the world, the Karlsruhe, and she
and the Eitel would have but small
show against the FIVE or six French
and English ships on guard. The
suspicion arises that there was at no
time an intention to leave port, and
that the Eitel was held until the last
hour before internment in order to
keep the French and English war
ships on guard as long as possible,
and thus withhold them from service
elsewhere.

The Communication Rates Ruling.

The minority opinion of Commits
sioner Clements of the interstate COM
merce commission, upholding the
contentious of the Baltimore and
Ohio commuters that their former
relations with the railroad were in
the nature of contract not subject
to arbitrary change in material in
crease of cost to them is unfortu-
nately not the judgment of the court.
which has ruled in effect in compro-
mise between the railroad and its
patrons. The decision grants the
commuters some relief from the pro-
posed rate increases, but does not
sustain them in their claim that they
were given in effect a vested right
when, in view of the then prevailing
rates of fare, they took residence
upon the line Of the road at dis
tance from Washington. This is ac-
tualiy the most important principle
involved in the case, although practi-
cally the immediate effect of the de-
cision upon the pockets of the COM
muters is to them of paramount in
terest.
In its ruling the commission de-
elares that the railroad company is
entitled to an increase of the COM
mutation rates along with other rates,
but does not agree with the method
of calculation by which the proposed
increases were arranged, curtailing
some and sustaining others. The
changes were chiefly in the form of
the curtailment of the number Of
rides to be allowed for certain sum.
Complaint was chiefly made against
the elimination of the most popular
book" which gave the commuters
their best ratio Of fare. As net re-
suit of the decision the last estate of
the commuters is not as bad as their
second. though somewhat worse than
their first.
In this connection the interstate
commerce commission should con-
slider the reasonableness of the rule
prevailing on some lines which for
bids the issue of computation books
for a portion of month, or in the
same terms requires person who
moves into the Communication terri
tory, for instance, in the middle of
the month, to buy a full months
ticket for that period. In other
words, under this rule the commuta-
ton month begins the first day of
the calendar month, regardless of the
date of purchasing the ticket. This
is an arbitrary rule for which there
is no justification save that of book
keeping. The passenger should have
the benefit of all the transportation
for which he has paid, whether he be-
gins it on the first and ends it on the
last day of the month, or begins it
on the goth and ends it on the 10th
of the month following.
