THE LIQUOR INTERESTS
AGAIN TRIUMPHS.
Get Off With Light Fines Too Again ViO-
late Law
Something Radically With to Rule
Problem For Department

Last week at Eau Claire, Wis, the Fed
eral Court for the Western District of Wis
consin was in session and many saloon cases
were up for trial, and as usual, IN these cases
were let go with light fines This kind Of
justice is beginning TO be a farce and it would
seem that it is Of little use to maintain court
for the prosecution of liquor violations, are
SO far as saloon interests are concerned, but
it seems to be a good court for the Indian
violation, but then Of course the Indian is
not saloon keeper, an Indian is just simp-
ly an Indian and must draw straight jail
sentence with S100 fine thrown in and
that for the introduction of half pint of
wfiskey on the reservation. While the
saloon man, who sells This s'booze'' to the
Indian, after spending perhaps thousands
of dollars to secure evidence of his so doing

law in Federal statues that can give strai-
ght jail sentence to the saloon man as well
the Indian or does the law read the Jail SEN
tence is for the Indian only and the fines
for the saloon element or is it case of sah,

We are ofthe opinion it is high time

Department to correct this existing evil that
is existing ard not imaginary, but real,

earn that many. remarks were made there
by men interested, claiming that the whole
proceedings, SO far as the saloon element
was concerned, was purely farce and
shame.
Does the Department, for moment nm
igine that by the hning of saloon keeper
when caught, will be the means of stopping
him again from selling "booze'' to its
wards' If they do then they should look
the ground over. While one party of the
saloon gang were receiving fines at Eau
Claire, the other party left behind was SELL
ing the ssbooze'' to other wards to make
up the fines paid, in this way they can af-
ord to violate the law knowing as they do
that all they will receive is fines, and a clean
slate.
This out of the Federal Court has arous-
ed the Indian TO the fact that the only way

he can receive justice on an equal footing
with the liquor interests is to put up
fight for the enforcement of his treaties,

There are many things that need rectifyins

Keeper of one year in Leavenworth, Kan,
will be one of the good moves for they are
not as good as the poor Indian that is serv-

offense and for the introducing Of the same

law in selling to hia..
A publicity campaign in all the leading
dailies in this section as well as the east

BOUND OVER UNDER .2,oOo BONDS
Ernest RushIow, 2s, Charged With Sealing JeweIry from Home of pr. w. s. c. Perkins Four Years Ago.

The state police have this week se- cured Ernest Rushlow, alias Clifford Stone, alias Clarence Stone, alias George Waters, who committed a burglary in Norwich. July 8. 1911, at the house of pr. W. S. c. Perkins of Broad street and stole jewe1ry to the value of between s2000 and $300o.
 In the city court here on Friday he was presented before Judge Barnes by State Policeman T. F. Downing and was bound over to the superior court of New London county. The bonds were fixed at $2000 and having no one to furnish the money, he was taken to jail.
 Rushlow is 2S years of age and comes from Shelton, Vt. When he was to this city four years ago, he was a quiet and capable young man and did his work for Dr. Perkins well. His employed did not know whence he came, nor whither he went, for one day the youn gman disappeared and with him went a varied and valuable assortment of jewelry that he had collected in the Perkins home. There was no traces left behind by the thief, and ahe Norwich police had no clues to work on. Chief Linton turned to the state police, giving them a de- scription, and in view of the slender threads. that the case offered, the re- turn of the thief on Friday was re- markable. Rushlow had long since disposed of the Perkins valuaibles, getting only a small part of its real value.
 The state police. when they were in- formed of the burglary and the es- cape of Rushlow, who was suspected of it, lost no time in making every effort to secure him. They thought he might fly to Canada and their formed the authorities in many suspicion was correct. They in- places of the crime and gave de- scription of the fugitive. Some time ago Rushyow was convicted in Canada for horse theft and was sent to the penitentiary at Stony Noun tain in the province of Manitoba.
 The state police were informed of his detention in the penitentiary and of the time of his release.
 Superintendent Thomas F. Egan assigned Lieutenant Theodore Dowl- ing to go to Canada and convoy Rushlow into this state It was not necessary to have the prisoner extra ties in Manitoba turned him over to the immigration commissioners of Canada, who took steps to have him deported It was as deported pris- oner that he was arrested by Lieu tenant Bowling after he had been placed over the Canadian line al Rouse's Point in Vermont. The prisoner was then brought to this city where he was wanted by the authori- ties of Vermont and the authorities of Minnesota have a suspicion that he was mixed up in crime in that state

Arthur Kupreros of White street, 31 years of age, was charged with arson, the allegation being that he set the fire at the bakery owned by Stephen Costandini at 3S North Main street, which called out the fire depart ment immediately after midnight Fri day morning. The evidence that Cap tain Twomey derived from the long ex- animation of the accused, the owner of the bakery and several others at police headquarters during the night, was to the effect that among the pile of kero- sene-soalxe drags found in the bakery after the fire was put out was a shirt that MT. Costandini identified as being similar 70 one worn by Kupreros.
 The statement of Costandini was that Kupreros was formerly in his employ as a baker. but that three months age they had trouble and he severed thcil connection At that time they had words and Kupreros grabbed his late employers long black mustache and shouted that he'd fix him. Costandin

Coroner Franklin H. Brown of this city took hand in the investigation of the ptomaiue poisoning in Westerly and that vicinity on Friday. following the deaths of Mr. and Mrs Francis T. Brightman of the Stonfngton road. these cases being the first in this coun- ty. and therefore under his 5urisdic- ton Among other things, the coroner procured samples of various ingredd- ents that have been used in the pastry at the Gavltt restaurant in Westerly, which apparently has been the focus of all the cases.

ResuIt. of Rattfe RIunders.

"COnS1deraDle delay occurred a1Ier the capture of Neuve Chapelle position. ganized. The delay would not have occurred if the clearly expressed order of Sir Douglas Haig had been more carefully observed"
 Thus Sir John French, in one of his latest despatches. Who blundered comes to be written will the public know. Military law and discipline, however, admit of no mistake, and, as a rule, punishment is swift and drastic when blunders have been made on the battlefield. Sometimes, as in the case of General Won Emmich, the leader of the German army, who failed to cap- ture Liege in the required time and who shot himself, and a certain Rus sian commanding general who also committed suicide rather than sur render after committing a blunder, distinguished soldiers take the law into their own hands.
 It is a curious fact, however, that while Field Marshal BaZaine was sentenced to death by a French court martial for having surrendered Metz to the Germans in 1870, the sentence being commuted afterwards to lifelong imprisonment, Marshal MacMahon, who suffered many defeats at the hands of the Germans and was cap- tured by them, was ultimately elected to the presidency of France and, on his death, was mourned by the whole nation.
 In the late Boer War, probably the two most lamentable blunders are linked with the names of Managers fontein and Spion Kop. It was at the former place that Lord Methuen's att tack on the Boer lines was repulsed with considerable loss. in spite of the great courage shown by the Black Watch, the Gordons, Yorks, and artil- lery under terrific fire, while at Spion Kop the British force under Butler were compelled to evacuate the posi- ton under a raking shell fire. our casualties amounting to 1500, as com pared with less than 100 of the Boers.
 Englismen will not readily forget the tragedy of Majuba Hill of 1881. when Sir George SolIey led an attack on the Boer position with 500 men. the British force being routed and Sir George falling with his face to the enemy The Boers, it is said. only lost one man That was a. terrible tragedy. too at Miawand, Afghanistan. when. the year before Matuba- General Burrows miscalculated the power of Ayook Khan, who had proclaimed a holy war against British arms with about 20. GOO men. After four hours terrific fiEfting, General Burrows was compelled to retreat with terrible losses. the British commanders being afterwards censured. It was to avenge this defeat that Lord Roberts made his historic march from Kabui to Kanda- har, totally routed Ayoob Khan. and reduced to submission the refractory Afghan troops, finally evacuating Af- ghanistan in 1sS1--Tit Bits.
