Captain Adolph c. Petersen, master

death of Axel Hansen, a seaman who
was drowned on the high seas August 6
last.

ing ship skipper and his youthful son
from custody as both are under other
indictments charging them with al
legged cruelty to various members of
the crew during the fve-months voy-
age from Victoria, B. c., to Cape Town,
South Africa, last year. Despite this,
however, they probably will be re-
leased on bail o-day.
Leonard, the elder son of CAPTAIN
Pedersen, who was first mate of the
Puako, will be placed on trial to-day
on indictments charging cruelty during
the same voyage.
In his charge to the jury Judge
Hough stated specifically that he would
set aside any verdict of murder in the
first degree brought against either of
the Defendants
He declared if the jury found the
son guilty it could only be for murder
in the second degree, and upon the
theory that he caused Hansen to leap
in the sea by producing a spiritual
state, or a state of mind or fear-not
insanity-that caused him to jump
overheard" In this case, he said, the
jury could not find the captain guilty.
If the jury found the captain guilty,
he said it could be for murder in the
second degree, or manslaughter. In
this case it would be for the RESPONSE
bility of turning his ship about after
Hansen had succeeded in grasping the
log line.
He declared father and son could
not both be found guilty, and if one
was found guilty the other must ho
acquitted.
Throughout the charge Judge Hough
held in his hand the model of the
Puako carved by Leonard Pedcrsen, ex-
planning to the jury parts of the ship.
He said he had been an admiralty coun-
sci and was familiar with the technical
construction Of ships.

charge of contempt of court. The
charge was that she caused Eleanor to
leave her father here and 60 to her in
Detroit. The child was returned when
the Appellate Division refused to pass
on the former Mrs Kaiser's appeal
from the divorce decree against her
until the child was restored to the
father.
Justice Mullan gave a long hearing
in his chambers last evening to the
motion of Mrs. Herr for a modifca-
tion of the divorce decree to give her
the custody Of her child. The Justice
also heard the motion to punish Mrs.
Herr for contempt, she already hav-
ing been fined $3.50 in similar pro-
ceeding
Eleanor sat on Mrs. Herz's lap dur
ing most of the hearing, the two ex-
changing kisses and caresses. Mr..
Kaiser sat few feet away. At one
point when Max D. Steuer, attorney
for the father, was speaking, Eleanor
walked over to him and cried "You
stop looking at me-"
Elcanor's reference to her father
was always either as che" or "him.'
In one letter she said, "God will
shower maledictions on his head"
Justice Mullan reserved decision in
the contempt proceeding, paroling Mrs.
Herr in the custody of her counsel,
and also on the motion of the mother
for custody of her child. Eleanor will
be with her mother in this city for
three weeks, with the consent of Mr.,
Kaiser.

SeUen Years Ago
next September, the pencil
which writes and signs this
wrote on the back of an en-
velope, at the request Of the
writer's son, the first of these
daily editorials.
1t seems as if only clumsy fin
gers were the battery touching a
telegraphic wire stretched
through the window of every
home and Office in this city, with
a message of good will and pa
triotism, as we'll as a business
notice when practicable. Often
in the past four years of war
hundreds of pieces have been
written purely as citizen apart
from any selfish interest.
The letters of responsiveness
and thankfulness that have come
back from the people have been
like the old farmers little candle
lit in public assembly in New
England when they were debat-
ing about proclaiming fast and
he proposed Thanksgiving
Day.
The letters of approval of
things written or work done in i'm
proving business life which have
come from citizens and fellow
countrymen from all over the
United States run to SO per cent,
with less than one per cent. of
criticism, for every one of which
we have been thankful.

none but himself is sure to have

said by B. F.
One friend of the writer says
There is nothing like fixed,
steady aim with an honorable
purpose. 1t dignifes your ma
turc and, if steadily kept in view,
insures your success"
Thanks again to neighbors

provide other municipal improve
ments. as a result of the passage
yesterday by the state legislature
of the Glackin bill which permits
cities to assess tax of 81.
Under the limit of s120, the city
anticipated revenue of general tax
of $4,000. With the limit in
creased to 50 per 800 assessed
value. the general tax fund is in
creased to $4,000 Added to this.

NJ. T. Rudgren, commissioner of
accounts and finance, said today
that the city is anticipating a
budget of $578,00O for the coming
year, which is $4,000 more than
last year. LaSI ySdI LAAC dIIASlPot

Immediate Benefits.
Rock Island will obtain immedi-
ate benefits as a result of the pas
sage of the Glackin bill. This is
by reason of the city anticipating
it's incoming funds for the ensuing
year. and spending in anticipation
of receiving the sum. Few cities
today spend after the funds have
been turned into municipal Golfers.
Commissioner Rudgren said today
that the annual budget will be
STeady for consideration of the COM
mission in a few days. The 81 tax.
he said. provides the same rate of
municipal taxation that the in
crease asked of the voters last
year, which was rejected by refer
endum, would have given.
