Dough, q, arrested yesterday by the
notice here, were charged in the SUI
perior court today with breaking and
entering the shop OF Louis Sterne at
First and Main streets from which
two barrels OF copper wire, valued at
SIS were stolen Thursday night OF
last week. Both entered pleas OF not
guilty when arrafgned.
The two barrels OF wire were recov-
cred by the police Saturday evening
at the residence OF John Mondorff, q
Junk dealer. on Ninth street between
Palean and Carol. One OF the bar
rels weighed 500 pounds, while the
other weighed $50 pounds. The larger
barrel was the only one that had been
missed by Mr.. Sterne at the time he
reported the robbery to the police
Friday morning.
Mondorff, when questioned by Chief
Kenney, stated that Harrington and
Brombougl1 had come to his house at
about eight o'clock Thursday evening
with the smaller barrel and attempted
to sell it to him. He says he refused
to buy it, but gave them So for a
sack full OF the wire and agreed to

between twelve and one o'clock, the
same night. Mondorf says Harrington
and Brombough returned to his house,
reused him out OF bed and had him
store away another barrel of wire
Weighing 500 pounds.
The next day, Friday, Mondorff
says he met the two men down town.
They told him, he says, that they were
going to get In trouble over the wire
and that they wanted to sell him the
two barrels of wire for $40 in order
that they could get out Of town. Mon
dorff told them that he did not want
to get mixed up in any trouble and
that he refused to buy the wire from
them.
Brombough and Harrington were
placed under arrest yesterday. Both
denied any knowledge or connection
with the theft Of the wire.
Brombough, the older of the two
mne, lived in Keokuk about eight
years ago and returned here about a
week ago. When he was here before
he had a record as r.etty thief, Chief
Kenney said today. Harrington has
not been in trouble with the police
before.
The members OF the police depart
ment did excellent work in recovering
the stolen wire and lin securing evil
6ence against the two men who are
charged with the theft.

ABUSE OF PARDON POWER.

rights, answer back that he did not confne
himself to his legal rights, and that his own
conduct proves that he wasn't ruled by his
"conscence"
When the Constitution of 1877 gave the
pardonlng power to the Governor, it also
put him upon notice that he must not exer-
else the power without reason, which he
must communicate to the Legislature
The two constitutional clauses must be
construed together; and when so Construed
In the light of English law and practise,
they mean, that the Governors reasons for
executive cemency must be such as the Leg
1slatllre Will approve; and such as will show
to the people, that he did not act caprici-
ously, did not arrogate to himself the right
to set aside the verdict, and did not u8urp
the functaons Of q Supreme Court Of reuiea0
The prohibition Of judicial powers, meant,
that the executive must act upon something
which occurred after the courts got through
with the case; Or upon some mitigating cir
cumstance which tempered justice and soft
ened the punishment of the guilty.
The Constitution never meant that Gov
ernor could say, II hare retired this case,
and return q oerdict Of Not guilty."
Nor did the Constitution ever mean, that
the Governor should say
Il hare retired this case, and find that
the eridence fails to connect the accused qc5tb
the crime beyond a reasonable dou6t'
The Supreme Court can say that, but the
Governor cannot.
The Supreme Court has often said that
but 10 Governor ever said it, until Rosser's
pfltner got hold of one end of the Frank
case.
Last year, Governor Slaton held the Law

When they tell you that Slaton acted con

York have known for months that Frank

friends begged him not to arouse suspicion

to reprieve the man, and let his fate be de-
cided by a Governor who is not member of

telephone carried the news that Slaton had
committed.

it, Friday, and prepared for joyous ban

Sally threw her arms around him, and
answered.
''JocA, let's commuters
SO, you see, we were unusually blessed IN
having two gubernatorial Judges to retr
the Frank case, and to upset all the courts;
one was Chief Justice Jack and The other
was Associate Justice Sally.
The newspaper account proceeds to say
The Ex-Governor isn't sure that his political
career is ended after all. 1t is that his
ambition for years has been to be United States
Senator from Georgia. The Worlds reporter
asked him

next election, Governor"

And all it cost us. to have Slaton walking
about the streets of Atlanta as usual was

And he wasn't afraid of anything. bat
merely war-zoned himself, as a luxury;
barbed-wired himself. as diversion; and
body guarded himself as a humorous varia-
ton Of his mOnOtOnOuS existence.
AS liar, Slaton is hard to beat.
He further said
Judge Roam realized that he made mistake
He wrote to me and begged me to commute the
sentence"
Judge Roam wrote to me and
begged me to commute the sentence"
And vet the hard-hearted Slaton had
never yielded to Roam, or to Rosser, Or to
Hamp McWhorter or to the Chicago lollv-
wops, nor to the iackass governors, nor to
the Arizona and Tennessee Legislatures, nor
to the 600,O00O00 petitioners, nor to the con
vircing effects of his experiments with that
elevator at the pencil factory-experiment

Answer back, that there is no conference
whatever IN Slaton's lengthy explanation,
nor in his subsequent statements
No man can tell from his 1,5OO-word docu-
ment whether he believes Frank guilty -.
not: his failure to pardon, antagonizes the
idea that he believed Frank to be innocent
You are left in doubt as to whether he
leans most on Judge Roam, on Patterson, on
justices Fish and Beck, on Justices Holmes
and Hughes, or whether he is agonized in
his mind by the experiments he made with
the elevator at the pencil factory.
SALLY SAYS ''LETs COMMITTEE"
In his deliberately 'imbecle document, he
says that the noise he heard in Franks favor
was the voice Of Judge Roam, calling from
another world.
But when he had safely landed in New
York. Slaton gushingly told the reporters
that the noise he heard in behalf of Frank
was the sweet voice of Sally
Lest you may doubt the correctness of this
statement, [ will quote Slaton's delicious
words
"'SoHy,' / said, I hare finished con-
sideljng this case, and I ane not satisfied
that the man shouzd be hunged'

Fans to Give "Tickers" to Saw
age and Jackson.

A number of local baseball boosters
have decided that Topeka should ex-
press a proper appreciation of the eff
forts John Saagve, owner of the
local club. and Jimmy Jackson. man
ager, have made to give Topeka a
gested that each be presented with
gold watch by the fans at the clos
ing game of the season Labor day
Every fan who would like to ex-
press his appreciation is requested to
send d contribution to George Godfrey
Moore at the New England building
within the next few days. No one is
asked to give stipulated sum but
every fan is asked to give much as
he or she feels able and small
amounts will be accepted and appre-
ciated the same as large ones.
The names of those who give to the
cause will be published after the
watches are bought, and all are urged
to send in their amounts soon as
possible so the watches can be selected
in ample time.
Not a Prosperous Season.
The season hasn't been very
prosperous one for either Savage or
Jackson. On account of the poor
crowds Savage has had to cut the cor
ners closely in order to make Doth
ends meet and. jackson has spent a
good part of his salary paying fines
for scrapping with the umpires for
Topeka's rights and another good part
of it buying pills to cure the colds he
caught standing in the water in CEN
terrified on the home grounds.
But despite their trials and tribula-
lions, neither Savage nor Jackson has
spared hide hair in an effort to
give the town a good team, and it is
felt that gold watches with diamond
wheels would be none too good for
them.
