London INSISTS
SHARP DESERTER
Mechanic Arrested on Charge
But Released on Habeas b
Corpus; Sheriff Will
Investigate.

Deputy Sheriff Bob Short picked up
j. c. Sharp Monday and placed him
in the county Jail for investigation
Officers aliege that Sharp is n dc
scrter from the United States navy.
and Sheriff London stated this morning
that Sharp admitted as much TO him.
Tuesday afternoon writ Of habeas
corpus was filed in district court ard
on order OF Judge Champion Sharp was
released on bond.
Sheriff London states that tie action
of Sharp's Attorneys was premature. as
he was waiting to hear from naval au
thorities at Mare Island where It is
alleged Sharp. whom the sheriff said
enlisted under another name, left his
post in 1916 and has been ont Of the
service since.
Il wanted TO see if the navy still
wanted this man" the sheriff said "and
/ am determined in face OF this action
to see that II they do want him, they
Will get him." he continued.
Sharp was employed as a mechanic
II local garage when arrested and the
sheriff alleges he admitted that he was
deserter, acting upon this information
Sheriff London wired authorities for in
structions.
Sheriff London, who served in the
navy himself states that there are two
modes Of procedure in such cases, one
to send local officer with the prison
er to the post where he deserted which
entails considerable expense, or to have
an officer from the navy come for the
man. which IS much cheaper on the de
serter. as he has to bear all expenses
out OF his pay, and it was for this rea
son that the man was being held wher
released.
Sheriff London stated this morning
that he was going TO investigate the
matter with United States authorities
before taking action

TAKE TIME TO LOOK AROUND
Man VIII Do Very Much Better Work
After a Change of Scene
and Interest.

Are you sure that you are not keep
ing your ose down in your work just
a little too closely and uninterrupted
ly? A great many people do, so that
there is just a chance that you might
be of the number. You ought to lift
your head and look around you, at
least occasionally indeed, you ought
once in a while to run away from
your job and get the relief and fresh
ness that can come through change Of
scene and interest. Of course, your
work is vastly important, and we
would not advise you really to neglect
it, but there is a chance of your get
ting a little too fussy about it, and
taking both it and yourself a little too
seriously. There are a great many
things in the world that are vastly
important besides the work that you
are doing, and you ought to be inter
ested in and having something to do
with many of them, for the business
that shuts them out of your life may
not be as necessary or as wise as
you are inclined to think it is. One
thing is very certain; you will see to
do your own worthwhile work more
satisfactorily if you do not keep too
uninterruptedly close to it. Looking
out and up will surely help.-Montreal

A MURDERER ON PAROLE

The notorious "cop fighter" who
murdered two detectives recently was
a criminal with a long record, .on pa
role from the ~penitentiary to which
he had been sentenced for burglary.
When he was arrested by the police
man he killed he was making his
periodical report to the officers to
whose custody he had been committed.
He had in his pocket a revolver OF
large caliber. Thus while he enjoyed
the lenity of the law he was violating
a penal statute of the state.
The parole system was designed
and put into effect to provide a means
by which persons convicted of crimes
but of whose intention to reformsthere
remained hope should have opportun-
ity to prove by their acts their good
faith in repentance and thus to re-
establish themselves as law abiding
citizens.
1t was eve intended that under its
operation habitual criminals should
be promiscuously let loose to prey or
society. When the parole system does
release such men from prison an6
permits them to wander about the
streets, it is perverted from it's pur.
pose. 1t then becomes a menace tt
society, not an aid to the reform O.
misguided individuals.
When a system established to re,
habilitate unfortunates sets free dan.
gerous lawbreakers to prey on the
public it is time for revision of tina
system to restore it to it's origina
function and to strip it of the danger
to society that has become attached
to it through carelessness or veal
! sentimentality.-New York Herald.

New Lawn Game.

A new lawn game of unusual inter-
est has been devised, suggesting some'
of the features of golf, table pool and
croquet, but initiating none of them.
-Four round-end, uninterrupted mahets
and four balls of distinctive colors, six
numbered aluminium pockets to be set
on the lawn at specified places, and
two end stakes constitute the outfit for
two or four players. The pockets are
arranged in a ~rectangle, which may be
of considerable size, and each player
is allowed three mallet strokes to
pocket his ball, making many interest
ing situations.-PopulRr Mechanics.
