GET OUT OF TOWN
Ruling Against Country Squires.
Supreme Court Holds Magistrates
Lack jurisdiction i'm Cincinnati.

Local attorneys were informed last
week that the Supreme Court has de
cided test case against country magis-
trates who may seek to try case in
which the alleged offense was COM
mitted in Cincinnati The case arose
following the arrest of George Hesse,
a Cincinnati man, on complaint OF the
Hamilton County S. P. c. A. Attorney
Max Levy brought the habeas corpus
suit for Hesse's release on the ground
that Hesse had been arrested on war
rant issued by Squire Dumont, of Co.
lumbia Township, whereas it was al
legged the offense was committed in
Cincinnati. Common Pleas Court Judge
Gushing ordered Hesses release on
the ground that Dumont, as a country
squire, had no jurisdiction. The Court
OF Appeals affirmed Judge Gushing. and
the Supreme Court has affirmed both
lower courts. Attorneys regarded it as
a test case, because it was a question
whether the Municipal Court OF Cincin-
natl had exclusive jurisdiction.

tons which may exist between the can
concern and union labor.
Every one who knows anything about
the subject knows that union labor and
the Pennsylvania State Constabulary
have been at war almost since the birth
OF industrial activity in America, and
yet Colonel Hake has had the temerity
to suggest that Ohio establish such
force in order that the militia, formed
from the ranks OF union labor, may be
relieved of the duty OF e-breaking,
except in extreme cases"
10 those who are in any way familiar
with the history of the PENNSYLVANIA
Constabulary, from the days OF the
Homestead riots, and even prior there
to, the suggestion that such force OF
cutthroats and murderers be established
and fostered in the State of Ohio is so
repugnant to union labor and all fair
minded men that it can not be wondered
at that those who have heard or read
the suggestion OF Colonel Hake should
be in open rebellion against the idea
that such an institution should be estab-
lished in this or any other State.
/ The idea that Ohio needs regular
army to maintain order within its bor-
ders is so ridiculous that it is hardly
worthy OF mention, except that when
men of position and influence begin to
make suggestions such as those attrib-
uted to Colonel Hake, it is time to serve
notice on these gold-braid or tin sol
diers that not only will union labor
never enter the ranks OF the National
Guard so long as it is subject to strike
breaking duty, and that the people oi
State, regardless of party or trade affili-
alton, will stand for nothing OF the sort,
To make the suggestion that the Penn
sylvania Constabulary, or something
along the same lines. be established in
Ohio, is but mild way of asking that
the State authorize the assembling OF
the toughest gang OF sluggers and gun
men possible to find and turning them
loose upon the people whenever some
bullet-headed and heartess manuiac-
turer, half drunk with success, chooses
to deny labor its just compensation
Ohio will never come to such a pass
And if union labor is to be interested
in the militia service, other means mus
be found of relieving it OF the odium o
trike-breaking duty

"GENEROUS" WESTERN UNION.

New York.-The Western Union Tel
egraph Company has notified traffic en-
ployes that after the first of next year
those who have been in the service of
the company two years or more will
receive two weeks vacation with pay.
The United States Commission on In
dustrial Relations investigated methods
employed by the Western Union and
Postal Telegraph and the following con-
clusions are interesting at this time:
These workers are not only under
paid, as admitted by the highest officials,
but they are subject to many abuses,
such as the denial of proper periods OF
relief while on duty, the establishment
of arbitrary speed rules which frequent
ly result in overstrain, the arbitrary dis
charge of employees without notice for
any cause or no cause, the employment
of young boys for messenger service
under conditions which can result only
in their moral corruption, and the em-
.ployment of women for telegraph serv-
ice at night
The commission also declares that
the telegraph companies are enormous
ly overcapitalized, and their rates. which
are graded to pay dividends upon large
amounts of stock which do not repre-
sent the investment of cash, are very
much higher than the cost of services

Sulphur In New Zealand.

Sulphur deposits are found on White
island, in the bay of Plenty, on the
coast of the North Island of New Zea-
land, about thirty miles from the main
land. This island, which covers about
600 acres, attains height of 900 feet
on one side and opens to the sea on the
other. Its topography indicates an old
crater, and the boiling lake on the island,
which is one of the awe inspiring sights
of New leland, is a further evidence of
volcansm. After the New Zealand Sui
phur company had spent 100000 i'll
preparation for mining sulphur in this
locality a volcanic disturbance wrecked
the camp and killed ten men.

Col. G. F. Hake Advocates
a State ConstabuLary
He Believes Union Labor Will Join the Militia if the
State Hires Somebody Else to Beat Up Strikers, Ex
cept in Extreme Cases." Then the Militia Will
Finish the Job.

That the soldier comes in many va
rieties, just the same as do chickens,
is a fact well known to the general
public, and especially to those who have
come in contact with the State Guard
of Ohio. This variety has been classed,
generally speaking, and with no particu
lar reason, as tin soldiers, "red-tape
soldiers "gold-braid men," and vari-
Gus other classihcations, but it remained
for Colonel Charles Hake, former COM
mander of a regiment, to definitely
classify himself as a true and loyal ex-
ponent of the former title Colonel
Hake is not only a tin soldier, but he is
general manager of a tin can company,
and his ideas about the State militia
and organized labor are interesting.
AT a recent meeting of military men
at downtown hotel, it was stated that
the object of the gathering was to pro-
mote the interests of the Ohio National
Guard by placing it upon more Sub
stantial basis. Various suggestions
were offered, and among the speakers
we note that Colonel Charles F. Hake
is mentioned as an authority. Truly,
the Colonel should know little about
military matters, since he was once the
leading officer OF regiment, and for
tlllS reason his remarks are interesting.
Colonel Hake, doubtless, knows more
about the tin can business than he does
about military matters and organized
labor, else he would hardly be able to
make good cans and hold down fat
job.
Colonel Hake is reported to have sug-
gested that in order to induce young
men OF union-labor sympathies to Join
the militia the stigma OF breaking
duty should be removed. This is good
but the Colonel spoiled it all by not
stopping right there. His suggestion
that the State Guard should not be call
ed upon to shoot and subdue those men
who are only endeavoring to force their
rights meets with hearty approval. And
the Colonel would have gained many re-
cruits from the ranks OF union labor
had he allowed his pet scheme to rest
right there. but the Colonel, being OF
restless and untiring disposition, kept
right on talking, with the result that
union labor is ready to tie one of his
own large tin cans to his rear end and
set him adrift, regardless of the rela

deep that they will not come out and
