A Fair Specimen OF the Burns
Detectives.

ONE of the lesser lights who shone around
~ The Great Detective, w. j. Burns, at
the time he was in the employ of the Haas
Finance Committee and was assuring man
kind that he was ''utterly confdent' of clear
ing Leo Frank, has gone under a bushel.
In fact, he has hidden under 81 bushels,
according to the Northern papers
This lesser light is named Guy B. Bid
dinger and while he is parlous knave, he
can't hold candle to Burns.
Biddinger has been arrested in New York,
for 81 crimes committed in Chicago, and he
has been manifesting most violent repug
nance to the idea of standing his trial in the
Windy City.
Apparently, he much prefers to remain in
New York. whose climate is superior in every
way to that of Chicago.
The press-dispatches say:
According to dispatches from Chicago, Bid
dnger is under 81 charges, embracing bribery,
eXtorton, grand larceny and aiding a felon to
escape while member of the Chicago Police
Department These charges have come as
climax to a recent confession by Barney Bertche
that the underworld worked with the connivance
of certain police authorities Half dozen police
officials have been convicted in the crusade.
Application to Governor Whitman for the
turn of Biddnger sets forth three of the 81
charges against him. They aege larceny, bribery
and unlawful escape. Another charge alleges the
destruction of a warrant of arrest which is
felony under the Illinois laws. TWenty-one of
the complaints allege felonies.

President Wilson's A tOumdi IN q
Pardon of ROmaniSt.
DEAD the following item of news:

Washington, D. c., April Nv. F. Baldwin,
of Wheeling, W. Va, convinced President Wilson
that instead of sending counterfeit gold coin by
express from Wheeling a certain day in 1914
he attending church services at Altoona, Pa,
and the President granted him pardon
Baldwin has been serving a threeyear sentence
in the Noun dsville CIV. Va) Pen Tertiary
In his application for pardon he forwarded
to the President affidavit by Altoona priest,
certifying to his defense
This act of the President is simply stu
pifyirg.
The man Baldwin was convicted in West
Virginia, place and date of trial not men
toned
He was accused of sending counterfeit
gold coin By cypress, from Wheeling, same
State.
The coin was alleged to have been ex-
pressed in 1914.
We are bound to presume that bis convic-
ton was in the Z. S. Court, and upon suf1i-
cient evidence.
We must presume that the record Of the
express office was produced, and that it
showed the sending of such package by
some one of that name
There could not have been a conviction,
without proof of the counterfeit coin.
The Federal Court necessarily tried the
man in the District of the crime.
IF Baldwin was not in that District and
State at the time of the crime. he and the
priest both knew it, at the time of the trial,
and thcy c0Hzd not hare been tie only ones

pancake in Pennsylvania, at the time some

Romanist9 of Altoona who would have eagerly
testified to the saving fact.
Apparently, the only evidence relied on by
President Wilson was the affidavit of the
Altoona priest.
Thus the verdict of jury and the sentence
of Federal Judge were annulled, on the
wo"d nf Pennsylvania priest who was not
produced at the trial, who was not cross

EDITORIAL NOTES
BY j. I'D. WATSON

of Count Bernstorf, the German Minister,
for attempts to blow up the Welland Canal
in 1914
At this rate of speed, our Department of
Justice WILL within the next ten years, finally
locate the spies who have been blowing up
ammunition plants, causing the loss of num-
bers Of human lives, setting tlme-clock bombs
on passenger steamers, timed to explode when
the vessel was too far out at sea for help to
reach the drowning women and children,
IF our Secret Service has been cunning
enough to present the evidence to Grand
Jury that would indict Won Papen for an al
legged crime committed in 1914, how long will
it take them to work up the evidence for
Grand Jury to return True Bill for one Of
the explosions or fires caused by spies in 1916?
Our Secret Service seems to be on a par
with the other branches of our most expen-
sive Government-under an Administration
pledged to strict economy in handing out the
peoples money.
Now that Won Papen has been indicted,
what are we going to do about Bernstorff?
Won Papen was Bernstoft's assistant in the
German Embassy at Washington; and it is
foolish for any sensible man to- argue that
Won Papen executed any contracts without
the consent and approval of Bernstorf-it is
silly to argue that Won Papen could have made
plots and paid out the money for their execu-
ton without Bprnstorff knowing all about it.
In other words, whatever money has been
furnished to Won Papen, and the other Ger
man agencies in this country, the German
Embassy is we'll aware of, and the ma ority
of the American people believe that Wilson,
Lansing & Co. know it as we'll as Bernstorff
1t IS case of going after the little fellow
and letting the man higher up got is the
same game that you see the politicians pull
it is the same as electrocuting the degenerate
gunman, who shoots down his man for 500,
and not prosecuting the man who planned
the murder.
Dernberg represented Austria-a compare
lively weak nation-and he was mceremoni-
ousy kicked out Of the country.
Bernstorf represented strong nation, and
we have not only refused to give Bernstorff
the same treatment that we gave Dernberg,
but we have been permitting Bernstorff to
kick us for almost two years.
President Wilson and Secretary Lansing
have convinced the whole country that they
will take the insults from a strong nation
like Germany. while they get their backs up
and want to fight like tigers when it comes
to worn out, exhausted, bandit-ridden,
bankrupt country like Mexico. 4
owe are too proud to fight said the Presi-
NelIl III HIS ldlHOUS L HlldUel I)llla Speech out
later events have proved that the strength of
the ether nation has great deal to do with
the Presidents 'Proudness,.
1t may be due to the fact that our officers
and soldiers have come to the conclusion that
any old war will do, that they have begun to
act as crafty as the newspaper reports in
dictate them as acting on the Mexican border
The following from the New York Tele-
graph-one of the most conservative papers
on earth will make the point clear:
