Percentage Cited

These figures show that in 1917
Judge Newburger's percentage of re-
from cases tried before him was Is.
and that in 1918 his percentage of
reyersals was SO. The longer Judge
Newburger has remained upon the
bench the worse his record has grown
Perhaps this explains why he declined
to enter the primary.
~. The opinion of Judge Newburger
entertained by our Court of Appeals is
the well known case of People VS. Wolf,
1873 N. Y, 464. That case was tried
before Judge Newburger while still a
judge of the Court of General Sessions,
and his conduct as q trial justice was
criticised by the Court of Appeals in
language which we believe has no coun-
terpart in the history of the law The
court denounced the trial of the de It.
fendant, charged with a serious crime,
as unfair, and strongly intimated that
the trial justice was ignorant of the
law Following are quotations from
the opinion OF that distinguished court,
in which it rebukes the conduct both of
Judge Newbureer and Of the District
Attorney:
Language of Court Of Appeals
"Why should court and counsel
violate the law in order to enforce
It? What a pernicious example is
presented when such officers, in
trusted with the most important du-
ties. in attempting to punish the
guilty, are themselves guilty Of de-
parting from TIE law. Charity can
not extend its presumption to shield
either in this case without also pre-
suming that both were ignorant of
the law
"3. Because of Judge Newburger's
age he would have at most, according
to his own statement, four years to
serve before reaching the age limita-
tion of seventy years, when he would
be required to retire, leaving ten years
of his elected term untitled. lnas-
much as the law now permits his re-
tirement and appointment as an Off
cial referee at $4,000 a year for the
balance OF his life, with the additional
right to practise law. it does not ap-
pear that he Will suffer any hardship
by giving away to a successor who can
serve the full term.
Judge Newburger is an old membe,
of Tammany Hall. He was 4 protege of
the late Patrick keenan, until his death
Now that the judgment of the organi-
zation that has heretofore served him
runs counter TO his own inclinations, he
hesitates not moment to desert the
party to which he owes his political
existence"

PROPOSED HIGHWAY BILL TO

come 70 me for copies Of the plan l
suggested for building and main
tatning roads, am enclosing rough
draft for the bill, which, il you pub
S lisl1s will be- appreciated by many OF
your readers. Ny idea, is to get all
tho roads built, repaired and MAIN
tanned quick as possible for lowest
cost to the taxpayers, and let them
know where the money comes FROM
how much. how spent, where and by
whom. The plan submitted will fit II
either the State or County should bond
to build roads and would be- needed
"a hs up .he present roads while the
others are being buff and after to
maintain them. Should neither
County or State bond, this plan pro-
.vides for building and maintaining.
<If anyone has a better plan please
publish it at once, that we may have
the benefit Of it. To procure the
FEDERAL aid apportioned the county and
purchase machinery for the district
maintenance crews, I favor a bond is
sue for about five years. This would
allow the, national highways to be
huilt by contract Immediately and the
gchain-gang go back to building coun-
ty ROADS. This must not come out OF

to repair the roads and bridges 1919,
caused by excessive rains, must be
paids IN 1920 which will make the

Glenn L. Watts of Fort Madison,
Is in Jail in Quincy in the custody of
the sheriff of Pike county, Illinois,
charged with assault on sixteen
year old girl named Mollie Beshares.
With him is George A. Nelson of
Hannibal, charged with being an &C
complete in the crime.
Watts is thirty-two years old, mar
ried, and discharged soldier. Nell
son Is an open faced boy Of sixteen
years.
The two confessed that they met
the girl while walking toward East
Hannibal, after they had failed to
get work on a farm near Seehorn, or
in that neighborhood. A younger
brother of the Beshare girl was with
his sister at the time. and they were
in the yard of their home, with no
one except themselves In the vicinity.
AS there is no jail in Pike county
they could not be kept there safely,
and they were taken in the basement
of the Adams county court house,
effectually manacled.

Money Wasted by British.

LONDON. (By mail)-Taxpayers
here are gnashing their teeth at the
way their good money has been
wasted.
The comptroller and auditor gen
eral of government expenditure has
lust published his report on the &C
counts of the ministry OF munitions
for the past year. His accounts show:
That factory which cost $500
900 to erect produced only $4,000
worth of material.
Another factory which was built at
a cost Of $685. 900 was closed and
used as a store eight months after it
was built.
One of the staff was engaged a. a
salary of $4,000 a year and got
IS. 900 for four months part-time serv
ice.
An escape of poison gas cost the
taxpayer $1,250,000, owing to the fact
that one set of wiseacres started to
make the gas before another set had
approved Of It. The difference OF
opinion merely landed the taxpayer
into a loss.
Thousands Of dollars were spent
in the erection of camps which were
never used.
In some instances contractors were

for the fact that the ministry, after

ELECTRIC LIGHT
FOR DENMARK
Stock Subscribed For Concern Which

DENMARK, Ia, June 23.-At a
meeting of the citizens held here
Wednesday, plans were considered
and approved to give Denmark a mu-
nicipal electric lighting system. The
project has been under way for
some time. although this was the
first work done towards it's realiza-
ton. Prominent local men are back
ing the scheme and a company is
now forming
Forty stockholders, each investing
one hundred dollars, provides the
capital for the company, which ex-

Liddle, owner of the Denmark indie
pendent Telephone system, and one
of the leading men in the movement,
has agreed to furnish the right OF
way and the poles necessary for the
transmission of the current from
Fort Madison to Denmark. Seventy
FIVE per cent of the stock has already
been subscribed for, and it is expect
ed that the full $4,000 will be sold
by the end of this week. Represen-
tatives of different electrical supply
establishments at Fort Madison and
Burlington are here estimating the
cost of wiring the residences where
electricity will be used.
A small Delco power plant, owned
by the Denmark Telephone company,
has for nearly two years been fur

public buildings and a few private
homes here. It's inadequacy to meet
the popular demand for electricity
has been large factor in bringing
