LATHAM CASE HEARING
POSTPONED TO OCT. q
Alleged Theft Of Unsigned Money
From Treasury Vaults First
One in History.

Hearing of the case of Marx Latham,
Post Office Department. charged with
taking sheets of unsigned money from
the Treasury, was postponed today by
United States Commissioner Isaac Il.
Hit. y hearing was scheduled before
Commissioner Hit for today. but In or
der to give Mr.. Latham a chance to
consult his attorneys and prepare his
defense. the hearing was today post
poned until October 81 at 1880 o'clock.
When the case is heard. ii will be q
unique one in the annals of the Treas
ury Department. In fact, ii already has
caused more gossip and speculation
than any similar case in years. Act
ing Chief Moran of the secret service
while dep1oring the publicity that has
been given to the arrest of the employe
said today II is the first time in the
history OF the government that un-
signed money has been taken directly
from the vaults of the Treasury. Sheets
OF money consigned to national banks.
and still unsigned, have been stolen
from express companies rare oc-
casions. but in the present instance the
charge brought by secret service men
is that national bank notes totaling
s5oo have been purluined. Such notes
are the property of the United States
government until delivered to the bank
or to an express company on the order
of the bank.
Provisions of the Code.
Commissioner Hit intimated today
that there is doubt to what section
of the code the case will be brought
Section AZ simply says: Whoever shall
embezzle, steal of purloiu any money
property, record. voucher or valuable
thing whatever of moneys. goods.
chattels, records or property of
the United States. shall be fined not
more than $4,000 or imprisoned not more
than five years or both Section I4S is
another short section. and provides in
four lines a penalty of "A maximum fine
of $1,000. accompanied by Imprisonment
for fifteen years. The next section. how
ever, is that which penalties the utter
ing and issuing of forged notes, and
makes it a crime to aid forgers get rid
of their product.
Government officials said today that
inasmuch as Latham is said to have
some of his fellow clerks. who are not
the officials Of the banks appearing on
the notes. an interesting question might
arise as to the proper charge.
Friends Of Mr.. Latham said today that
relative had wired from the south.
asking to be allowed to appear as coun
sci. and that this relative would ap-
pear at the hearing October 27.

BOR[ANDLAW REPEAL
IS URGED BY CITIZENS
Takoma Park Association Takes
Stand-Protection of School
Children Desired.

That the Borland law should be re-
pealed by Congress was the consensus
of opinion OF the meeting of the Takoma
Park Citizens Association held last
evening. communication inclosing a
resolution opposing the Borland law was
received from the Columbia Heights Cit
izens' Association. asking concerted ac-
tion by all citizens associations 1t was
referred for report at the next meeting.
Ur. ID. ". Shoemaker brought up the
question OF the Borland law and vigor-
ously opposed il. Several other addresses
were heard. and the association then
went on record as against the measure.
That the children of Takoma Park as
they traverse Blair road to the school
located there are seriously menaced by
speeding automobiles was declared by
Dr. {. O. Townsend. The condition is
aggravated. he said, by the fact that
there is no sidewalk and that the chill
dren are compelled to take their chances
in the highway.

men were fairly well bruised up at
the conclusion of the fight.

no harm. The referee refused to al
low the claim of foul.
In New York Benny Leonard COM
pletely wOrsted Champion Freddie
Welsh, having the Briton in dire dis

partment of the game the young New
Yorker was the superior of the title
holder and inflicted the most punish
ment. Fred, because of his agility
and ability to cover up, was not Sc
verely injured. The general opinion
of the ringsiders was that Leonard
could have won in a long fight
1t is doubtful if Leonard is as good
as last nights fight might indicate.
The champion has a way of pulling
himself now and then, looking to be
a 1ivver, then coming back later and
cleaning up his next opponent. How

HANG A MAN EVERY FRIDAY
ADVISES GRAND JURY
Have a hanging every Friday for
six months and the shameful list of
yearly murders in Chicago will dwin-
die. /
Such was the advice contained in
the grand jury report submitted to
Judge Fitch, criminal court, yester-
day.
From the great number of MUIR
ders committed, many apparently
upon the slightest proVocation, it
would seem that there must be an
impression abroad in Cook county
capital punishment has been elm
mated as a penalty for crime, and we
strongly urge upon courts and jUries
that it be re-established and inflicted
for the wholesome effect it would no
doubt have" reads the report.
eff there was an execution every
Friday for six months we believe
that the number of murders would
be greatly decreased"
The jury also delivered an attack
on the adult parole system.

on Woman Suffrage is more pro-

Mr.. Wilson is more careful than
Mr.. Hughes to avoid giving the
impression of making promises
beyond his party's platform,
promises which he cannot give
any guarantees of keeping. But
he is, l have reason to believe, at
heart more of a suffragist than
Mr.. Hughes, who seems to accept

WHY AM FOR
WOODROW WILSON
BY 1rvinq Fisher

Professor of Political Economy
Yale University and Member of
President Roosevelts National
Conservation commission.
/ attended the three conven-
tons in Chicago and st. Louis al
50 some meetings of their plat
form committees, was present at
Mr.. Hughes ceremony of accep-
lance and have read carefully the
important documents and
speeches of the campaign. After
careful consideration, l have
joined the Wilson Independent
League. l thoroughly believe the
best interest of the country re-
quires Mr.. Wilson's reelection.
My chief reasons for voting for
President Wilson follow:
4. The so-called issues of
"Americanism," preparedness,
the Lusitania incident, the Mex
lean situation, and all others that
have grown out of foreign affairs
appear to me to be merely red
behring's across the trail" intend
ed to put the public off the scent.
I have little doubt that, by divert
ing attention from themselves TO
these trumped up issues, the Re-
publican "old guard" hope to
put over" on the public another
"Payne-Aldrich" tariff. They
expect to work the war and Mex
leo for all they are worth to both
hide and guide their own private
interests after the election.
2. Moreover, quite irrespec-
tive of the moral issue in pro
tection," it seems to me bad ma
tional policy to keep the tariff
longer in politics. The election
of Mr.. Hughes would surely do
this. That of Mr.. Wilson would
at least go far toward dropping
the tariff out of politics and to-
ward taking politics out of the
tariff. 1t is worth noting that
if such a result can be accom-
plished through tariff commits
sion, it will certainly not be thru
a tariff commission appointed by
protectionists.
8. I believe, at heart, Mr..
Wilson'S Mexican policy is
sOunder than that which Mr..
Hughes seems to endorse. Few
of the American people realize,
as Mr.. Wilson realizes, that here
too, is a case (and a far worse
one than American protection)
of special interests capturing a
government in their own behalf.
4. So far as our relation to
European affairs is concerned, I
do not think that we shall become
more efficient by swapping horses
while we are crossing a stream.
A change may plunge US into war
and it would certainly, in the four
months between election and in
auguaration paralyze our foreign
policy completely. From No
vember to March may be the
most critical months Of the war.
If Mr.. Hughes is elected neither
we nor foreign nations will know
