After the clean record of the Eighth
eth general assembly when there was
never the breath of suspicion against
a single member, Ohio is now blush
ing with shame at the stories told
broadcast and true about the PERM.
cious activities of the lobby, both reg.
istered and unregistered. Many man
who has been officially living on the
fat of the land in Columbus is now
trying to explain to the wife and the
folks back home that he was not one
of the fellows who visited leg shows,
and attended wine suppers or fell for
the lure of the red lights. Yet the
scare that has been thrown into the
general assembly is productive of re.
suits, and it may prevent more serious
entanglements by curtailing the activi-
ty of the lobby. 1t may even save brib-
cry prosecutions and charges which
soon might have followed. AS mat
ter of fact lobbyists have been forced
to register who have never been smok-
ed out before in the session.
In connection with the lobby scan.
dal, one of the lobbyists is threaten
ing vengeance against a newspaper
representative who wrote an innocent
news story about the doings of the
lobby for one of the administration or
gans in Cleveland, after his colleague
on the other administration organ
printed in the forenoon had killed the
story under orders" The enlighten-
ing thing is the information it conveys
showing that the lobbyist and the pa
pers represent the same interests.

USE SCARLETT'S
LETTERS IN CASE
AS EVIDENCE

Letters OF John B. Scarlet TO Ray
mond E. Smith. former secretary
treasurer OF the Roseville Trust Com
pany. pleading for "a lite help" and
promising to make good when he
got some Of his irons out of the fire.
were introduced in evidence today at
Scarlett's trial in the Court of Oyer
and Terrniner before Judge Osborne
and a jury. Scarlet is charged with
a nnisdeneanor by overdrawing his
account with the bank, of which he
was a director.
Accompanying each Scarlet letter.
according to Smith, who was recalled
as a witness. was a check which he
certified at the request OF Scarlet,
although they were both aware that
the latter had no funds in the bank.
The checks were also put into evil
dence over the objection of Con-
over English, counsel for the defend
ant.
His purpose in putting in the let
ters OF Scarlet TO Smith, Mr.. Guild
said was to show that Scarlet had
knowledge of the condition Of his
account
Scarlet told me when I asked him
about his account" said Smith, 'thai
he was aware I was running certain
risks on his account. but he would
make good as soon as he got certain
moneys"
The first letter read by the prose
cutor referred to the $3.50 check
which caused the ovsrdrafs alleged
in the indictment upon which Aar-
lett Is being tried. 81 ind Il impos-
sib'e." wrote Scarlet. ''to ret by

Smith said he spoke about meefine
some interest charges and needing
$3.50 for that purpose. This and the
fact that the check was dated March
II. 1913, about a week after the let
ter led him to believe rhe witness
s'e'd +Nn+ the $3.50 which Scarlet said
he needed.
im.'' Smith testified, that
his account was in awful shape, that
a good many OF the checks had paid
for him we've not charged TO his Ac-
count and that had to make certain
ent les TO cover them
why weren't these checks YOU re-
fer to charged TO Scariett's account,
the prosecutor asked.
"They were not good because he
didn't have SUFFICIENT balance 70 cover

beas corpus issued early today. This
writ is returnabie before Justies
Blur March 1s Until that time Thaw
will be he'd by Grifenhagen.
In his opinion denying Thaw's mo-
tion to be returned to New Hamp-
shire Justice Page pointed out that
Thaw had never been discharged
from Matteawan and therefore the
original order Of Justice Dowiing de-
claring him insane and In sending
him to Matteawan is in force Jus
tice Page ordered that Thaw lie re-
turned to the authorities at Mattea-
wan or to any authorities designated
by any other branch Of the court
The f1nal part of this r,iling covered
today's writ of habeas corpus and
under that Thaw blocked his return
TO Matteawan at least until March
IS. Before mat time 1t is expected
that he will again carry his case TO
the Supreme Court.
Justice Page made it clear In his
ruling that the State Of New York
had shown no lack of good faith. The
Indictment and the trial on the con-
spiracy charges were regular and
were carried through, he ruled. He
declared, however, that the States
right to returning Thaw TO Mattea-
wan Is unquestioned. He asserted
that as Thaw Is an escaped prisoner
from Marteawan the State OF Nevs
