WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 2S.- Werner Horn, the self alleged Ger man army officer who was indicted and convicted of the crime of carry ing dynamite on trains, and who is now serving sentence for his crime, is appealing for writ of ha- beas corpus Horn is the man who blew up the international bridge be- tween the United States and Canada at Vanceboro, Maine, last year. There was at that time no provision of law for the dynamiter whose crime was committed on the Canadian side of the line and who escaped to the American side after he committed it., and he was therefore indicted for the lesser offense.
 The argument advanced in the ap- peal of Horn for a writt of habeas corpus is that a German officer can not be prosecuted for an act of war

against Great Britain as long as the hostile act was not performed on American soil. He contends that he was entirely within his rights in attempting to destroy the bridge, particularly so in view of the fact that all of his operations, with the exception of carrying the dynamite were conducted on the Canadian side of the line.

Mr Wilson is too well known in this community to need introduc- tion For, although he has resided here but little more than two years, he has made many friends. He came north as an employee of the Alaskan Engineering commission, but since his arrival has followed min ing each winter. He is now, how ever, in contracting work for the En gineering commission, and has, by his enterprise, gained the complete confidence of Commissioner Riggs, as well as of the commission chiefs of departments. He has a crew of more than 30 men working under his direction as a contractor.
 It was originally intended that the wedding of MT and Mrs. Wilson would take place secretly, MT. Will prise on his unsuspecting friends, Mrs Wilson was to come to Mrs. Milum, apparently as a friend from the Outside But her popularity in Seattle precluded that possibility, for on the day she took the steamer for the north the news of her coming was heralded here by telegraph.
 MT. and Mrs. Wilson will spend their honeymoon in a tent. That is, they will live for the next month in a tent along the railroad right of way a few miles from Happy sta tiOn, at this end of the line in or der that they may be near MT Will sons work. They will leave for Happy on Monday mornings train, Mr. Wilson has stated, however, that he intends to take his bride on a real Alaskan honeymoon trip into the Mt. Mckinley country with a dog team shortly after his work on his present contract is finished, or during the month of November.

Freedom

There is only one cure for evils
which newly acquired freedom pro-
duces, and that cure is freedom.
When a prisoner first leaves his cell
he cannot bear the light of day; he
is unable to discriminate colors or
recognize faces. The remedy is to
accustom him to the rays of the sun.
The blaze of truth and liberty may
at first puzzle and bewilder nations
which have become half blind in the
house Of bondage. But let them gaze
on and they will soon be able to bear
it. In few years men learn to rea-
son. The extreme violence of opin-
ions subsidies. Honest theories cor
rect each other. The scattered ele-
ments of truth cease to contend and
begin to coalesce. And at length a
system of justice and order is educed
out of the chaos.
Many politicians of our time are in
the habit of laying it down as a self
evident proposition that no people
ought to be free till they are fit to
use their freedom. The maxim is
worthy of the fool in the old story
who resolved not to go into water
till he had learned to swim. If men
are to wait for liberty till they be-
come wise and good in slavery they
may indeed wait forever,-Lord Ma
caulay.

when she told of Tattler's experience
in New York years ago while posing
as a minister of the gospel.
"When we first came from England
and landed in New York some twen-

lowed his hair to grow long, and with
clerical role he made it a practice
of hanging around the Tombs and
police courts, praying for the unfor-

ercise his influence with the judge
for certain stated sums of money"
said Mrs. Tattler. "He made habit
of accompanying the prisoners to the
dock where the boat was boarder for
The Island and would kneel down
and pray with them as they de-
parted.

My songs seem sweet when read Il

Perhaps in this the pleasure lies

And 10 dare fancy that my art
May sink a. deeply ~ thy heart.
Perhaps I love to make my words
Sing round thee like so many birds,
Or may be they are only sweet
AS they seem Offering at thy feet.
Or, haply, Lily, when speak
l think, perchance, they touch tn!
cheek.
Or with 4 yet more precious bliss,
Die on thy red lips in kiss.
Each reason here-I cannot tell
or all, perhaps, may solve the spell
But II she watch when I am by,
Lily may deeper see than I.

figure and was referred to as the old
minister" But his lack of influence
and his habit of taking money soon
became known and the judge SEN
fenced him to serve three months on

husband knelt down with the prison
ers, as was his custom, and prayed.

him aside, remarking he must get the
prisoners on the boat.

on a cattle ship and returned to Eng

years.
