The dates mentioned in the bill
are September and October 8,

"The father.in-law,,t said Attor-
ney Eakin. was visiting Hhis .son
here when the misconduct occurred.
In each instance he declares Mrs.
Cuss approached him., The old man
warned his son, who had been COM
pletely unsuspecting, not. however,
revealing his own relations with her.
Then Dr. Cass began Investigating his
wife's conduct, and as result re-
fused to live with her.
Last January an attorney visited
KIM K q home in Bristol and tried
TO blaclmail the old man for several
thousand dollars. Old Cass told him

1.-THE same lawyer who tried to

INDUSTRIAL
Farms for Defective DeIin-
quents Are Urged by Justice
Garvin, of New York.

INDIANAPOLIS, May 13.-"The
Defective Delinquent" was discussed
before the national conference of
charities and correction here this
evening by Edwin L. Garvln, justice
of the court of special sessions. New
York city. Justice Garvin, In analyz-
ing the case of the mental defective,
said in part.
"The life OF defective delinquent
who is, committed to penal institu-
ton is divided into three periods, be-
fore, during and after incarnation.
II Is n question whether state
would act wisely, either from phi
lanthropic or economic standpoint, In
permitting detectives whose life lead
persistently to crime, to have their
liberty after this has been demon
strated; and whether we may not
properly in the interest of every one,
including, of course, that of the de-
fectives, permanently segregate them
to live out their lives in the custody
Of the state.
"Such q plan would involve estab-
lishment OF great institutions, indus
trial farms, perhaps. with a psycia-
trist connected with the manage
ment OF each, and with the inmates
required to live regular lives, as much
in the open as possible, contributing
by their labor, each according to his
capacity, toward the support OF the
place in which he Is detained, thus
making him o positive asset. to a
greater or less extent to society. In
stead of the actual liability that he
remains at the present time"

BIG CARS
Are Expensive to Have as the
Government Tax is Made
Higher and Higher.

LONDON. May 3.-The cost oe
taxes of keeping motor-car has
been much higher in England than
In America for some years, but nm
der the new war budget of the chan
;cellor Of the exchequer. is increased
to level which viii discourage all
but the very rich and particularly
discourage the building OF high
power machines.
The old motor taxes ranged from
$40 on car OF six and a half horse
power, up to 5000 on a sixty horse
power machine. Now this tax has
been doubled on the smaller cars of
sixteen horse power and less, while
1t is trebled on those of higher pow
Ter, SO that sixty horse power car
must pay about $500.
Still there is enough wealth In
England, new war gains, and old
accumulations. SO that no radical re-
duction in the number of cars in use
Is expected Immediately.

BILLY SUNDAY
HAS LARGE
INCOME
IN the Last Three Years, the
Noted Evangelist Has Re-
ceived over $443,0OO.

1t is generally known that Billy
Sunday, the well-known evangelist,
is one of the highest paid men in
the United States. Naturally there
Is considerable curiosity as to what
he does with the great sums OF mon-
ey he receives for his work. With
characteristic vigor Billy has replied
to that question: at is none Of
your business" Which is accepted
gleefully by the brewers and othors
who fight Sunday; for they say he
has a large amount OF money laid
away and that money is all he is at
Ter.
But the revivalist answers: 1.-THE
honey is given to me voluntarily. and
will do with 1t what please"
The "sawdust trail" in the earlier
years Of Billy Sundays twenty-eight
years OF religious campaigning was a
hard trail and not very prolific OF
this worlds goods, but recently 1t
has been very different. In the last
twenty-six protracted meetings he
has held, embracing period of three
years, S443.023.91 has been given to
Mr.. Sunday. He is now In Kansas
City, Mo. II the people of that town
come up to the mark set by other
cities of its class. Billy will get more
than $4,000 for his seven weeks
work there.
One-Tenth Goes to Charity.
What deductions will be made
from that amount? Only two, SO far
as the public is aware. The evan
gelist will pay out Of 1t one-third Of
the salaries of the twelve members
of his party, and one-tenth goes to
charity. All other expenses of the
revival are paid out of daily collec-
lions. When an amount sufficient for
these needs is reached, collections
stop until the last day Of the revival,
when the Billy Sunday collection Is
offered.
The evangelist says his charity
fund is handled In response to the
Biblical injunction that man should
give one tenth of his worldly goods
TO the poor. He has three bank ac-
counts in Winona Lake, Ind. his
home. One OF these is "for the
Lord" Out of that one-tenth he is
known to contribute literally to the
support of superannuated ministers.
What disposition Is made OF the rest
Is not known. 1t is commonly sup.
posed that he gives to charity beyond
the one-tenth fund.
Mr.. Sunday is known to have only
two pieces of property. One is what
the brewers call his $4,000 home"
at Winona Lake, although Billy says
the actual cost OF the cottage was
only $4,000. The other property is
tract of thirty acres in the pine
woods of Oregon, bought by the
evangelist for a summer resting
place. 1t is on a mountain side and
In a wild, secluded spot. This prop
erty is commonly referred to as the
fruit ranch"
ma" Sunday is really the banker
of the family. 1t is said by some
that If she did not take charge OF
the money Billy would give it all
away. But Ma knows that some day
her husbands strenuous life will
wear him out, and she is saving
against that. day.
