Show --A V THE BINGHAM NEWS . ; Iromfere andMere Why George Barry Felt Embarrassed When Ann Marie GUICAGO. was born on April home of her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. George II. Williamson, at 1C34 Green-lea- f avenue, there was great rejoicing. But the birth was inopportune for George Barry, twenty-eigh- t, of Avon-dal- e, Wis. lie found out that fate had brought the baby Into his life, and aa the result the police are hold-ing bim on a robbery charge. It seems that when little Ann Ma-rie was born, her parents seut out cards announcing the event. Mrs. Ralph Johansen of Glencoe received one of the cards. What she did with It forms part of the story. Anyway, no more was heard of It for three whole months, until Sun-day, when Sergts. William J. Byrnes and Thomas Kelllher arrested Burry as be wag entering the Northwestern hotel, 610 West Madison street. He carried a bulging suitcase which aroused the detectives' suspicion. There were a fur coat, five suits of tnen's clothing, six silk shirts, one Lueger pistol, one Smith & Wesson revolver, six watches, one diamond pendant, one pearl necklace, one sig-net ring, one locket, one gold brooch, four watch chains, one pearl breast pin, three children's rings and some other articles In the suitcase. In the fur coat was a card announc-ing Ann Marie's bow to the world. Barry explained everything to detec-tives but the card. He wns plulnly embarrassed. He had bought the other things for a friend. He had brought the guns from France, but the card-- he was stumped. There was something else the po-lice wanted Barry to explain, too. It was in connection with a card whloh bore the name "George Barry," said to have been found on the body of Miss Jessie Doyle, a young woman who had committed suicide the pre-ceding Friday on a rtad near Gran-ville, Wis. On the body of the Doyle gfrl, clad In knickerbockers, was also found a note, the Milwaukee police say, which told that she had discontinued all as-sociation with George Barry, but ad-mitted she had been his accomplice In numerous robberies. The Waukesha police sny Miss Doyle was wanted there In connection with the theft of $3,000 worth of Jewels. Are they those found in Barry's suitcase? It developed that Burry left Milwaukee Saturday night at nine o'clock. Meantime, the sergeants called up Mrs. Williamson and she came down nnd identified . little Ann Marie's an-nouncement card, which has caused Barry so much trouble. The fur coat has also been Identified as belonging to Mrs. Johansen Use of Scopolamine Would Violate Two I Fundamental Rules of Common Law I By DR. GEORGE W. KIRCHWEY, Penologist.

The idua may have been at one time to get the truth, but the effect was to wring a confession from the victim. The use of scopolamine might be classed as a mild form of torture; but, assuming that it does bring out the truth, it would violate two f unda-- r mental rules of our common law. The first of these is that the accused person may not be questioned after arrest or during a magisterial hear-- mg, and the second is that torture may not be used to extort the truth-I- !I n many European continental countries the magisterial function it inquisitorial. He questions the , witness, heckles him, tries to wring the I truth out of him. ; In the English common law this is not done ; it is not possible. Under j . our system the accused man cannot be questioned either preliminary to or I during his trial. A confession may not be obtained from a man unless it j is a free confession, given without fear or favor. Otherwise it cannot be j- I produced in court No immunity can be promised. A confession obtained I I under promise of immunity can't be introduced. A AU that can be done is for the accused to be asked whether he I wishes to make any statement, and even then the police official must , I caution him that anything he may say will be used against him. Indeed, J we carry it to the point that the district attorney may not draw the f attention of the jury to the fact that the accused did not take the witness I stand. To do so is to furnish a basis for a new trial, and the higher court must grant a new trial. Under the effects of scopolamine you will get the false and true, the fact and fantasy bubbling to the surface. If a man in his senses cannot be made to talk, how can he be made to talk by robbing him of his senses. Motor to Church in Comfort The Chevrolet Sedan is jtr ufu...

Jj CI iClS07l Last Man Club Has But Four Members MIXN. Feter STILLWATER, Minn., of the Last Man club, which held its annual reunion here, was elected president of the organization to succeed Adam Marty, organizer and president of the club, who died last winter. The other two present were John Goff of the Minnesota Soldiers' home, Minneapo-lis, and Charles Look wood of Cham-berlain, S. D. The fourth member, Emll Gran of St. Cloud, Fla., an Inva-lid, could not attend. These four are the only survivors of Company B, First Minnesota Infan-try, which took part in the battle of Bull Run. The Last Man club was or-ganized In 1SC5. There were 38 charter members and a bottle of wine from the first meeting. It was decided at that time, would be druuk by the lost member. Mr. Hnll accepted the presidency with a short expression of gratitude and then, hesitatingly, spoke of some-thing which tins been bothering him for a long time. "Our constitution provides," he said, "that the Inst man shall attend the annual banquet us usual, and drink a toast to his dead comrades. With this rite he will close the books of the Last Man club. "But It has occurred to me, as per-haps It has to you, that that last ban-quet would be a sad occasion, and I want to make a suggestion which we can decide at our next meeting. That Is that the last two men stuiU drink the toast and break up the club." A problem of considerable Impor-tance was created when Mr. Hall was elected president. Mr. Hull had been secretary of the club and It became necessary to elect another secretary. The choice, naturally, was between Mr. Lockwood and Mr. Golf. Mr. Lock-woo- d nominated Mr. Goff. Mr. Goft nominated Mr. Lockwood. The vote was to be viva voce, and each voted "aye" for the other It therefore had to be decided by the president, who tossed a coin and elect-ed Mr. Goff secretory. The banquet and the business meet-ing over, the three old comrades shook hands and went their ways to brave another year. Each one depurted with the same words, "Well, see you next year." And ench one wondered, per-haps If he would. Oh, That Funny Feeling A Sunday-schoo- l class of five girls about the age of eight had gone for i a "hike" with the teacher. A quarter of a mile fulled to satisfy the young sters and the "hike" lengthened Into one and one-hal- f miles. Then a stop was mude for lunch. Each of th hikers hud enough "eats" for the party, hut all was devoured regardless. Th teacher was quaking with fear lest someone be unable to make the return Journey, but It was accomplished at lust although about midway of the trip one Utile girl piped: "My stomach feels awful funny," . BlackAlkall. Investigations have been made of the almost complete loss of fertility of from 40,000 to 60,000 acres In the Sun Luis valley of Colorado, and this con-dition Is attributed to the "bluck alkali," composed largely 'of sodium carbonate. This carbonate Is carried In the waters of the valley, In-cluding the rivers and the artesian wells, and the practice of sublrrlgatlon has brought It to the surface by capillarity and evaporation. It Is sug-gested that the remedy lies In a eon-versi-of the carbonates Into sul-phates by the use of a liberal amount of gypsum about nine pounds of gyp-sum to one pound of black alkali and downward washing by means of surface Irrigation with furrows or by flooding. Taxicab and Automobile in Relation to Big City Street Congestion By PROF. JOHN S. WORLEY, in New York World. A pedestrian occupies and can move comfortably in four square feet of street space. However, it would be better to assign him a space two t feet wide by four feet long, or a total of eight square feet. The average street space occupied per passenger of buses is three and one-ha- lf square I j feet, and for street cars is six and one-ha- lf square feet when all seats are y occupied, and three and one-quart- er square feet when 100 per cent over- - si load is carried during rush hours. The vehicles most glaringly wasteful if of street space per passenger are the taxicab and privately-owne- d automobiles. Taking into account the time and space occupied while unemployed, j the taxicab averages less than one passenger. For convenience, however, we will consider the space as occupied by one passenger. This space aver-ages eighty square feet, or ten times more than a pedestrian, or twenty-thre- e times that occupied per passenger per street car or bus. J In the same class comes the privately-owne- d automobile which may . be said to approximate the same street area per passenger as does the taxicab. J One of the very uneconomical users of the streets at the present ; time is the cruising taxicab. From the best information available it is . I estimated that 75 per cent of a taxicab's time is idle, being taken up ! either waiting or cruising for fares. Probably one-ha- lf of this idle time is occupied with cruising which, in values of street congestion, i 100 per 1 cent worse than waiting at the nub. Tersely Described.

One of ESTESthings that Justify the purk system Is the fnct that these government reservn-tlon- s are educational as well as recre-ational. They are nntural history mu-seums. They are records of the enrth In Its muklng. And one of the pur-poses of the national park service Is to educate the American people to see the national parks with understanding, with their heads as well as with their hearts. Thus will their enjoyment be Increased. A new departure In making Rocky Mountain National park more Interest-ing to Its visitors and giving them a more Intelligent understanding of Its flowers, plnnts, birds, animals, trees nnd glacial history has been arrunged by the notional pork sen-Ic- through the employment of a naturalist well versed In those things pertaining to this region. This Is a new feature In the national pnrks ami Is now also em-ployed In Yosemlte, Yellowstone, Gla-cier and Rainier. Prof. J. M. Johnson, member of the board of lecturers for the board ol education of New York city, who has spent the lust five summers In the park, has been secured for these na-ture studies In the park this season, Professor Johnson is delivering lec tures on an arranged schedule at tht various hotels that will be open and free to the public and the following day be conducts a trip from the hotel, studying In actual life the subjects covered In the lecture of tSe evening before. The lectures have been so arranged that one topic Is discussed during the week at the various meeting pluces nnd the second topic taken up the week following, etc. Some of the topics are: "The Wild Flowers of the Pnrk," "The Birds of the Park and How to Preserve Them," "The Trees of the Park and Forest Conservation," "Mighty Beasts of the Pust With Speclnl Reference to c Colo-rado." "The Face of the Park and How It Was Made." Rocky Mountain U one of the gran-ite pnrks and consists of a unmatched area of lofty peaks and beautiful val-leys perched on top of the Colorado Continental Divide. Glacial action and erosion are everywhere In evi-dence and are both accessible and ensy to read. The forests are Im-pressive. The (lowers Include many species. The bird families are well represented and all these things are close at hand for Professor Johnson und his nature students.

Consolidation Into Comparatively Few Systems of All the Railroads ; By SENATOR A. B. CUMMINS, in Address to Iowa Legislature. 1 There is no man in this world who is more earnest than I am for J the reduction of railway rates. I know how burdensome they are upon all industry, and especially upon a farmer who has been, and probably j Ftill is in many instances, selling his products at less than cost, j There is but one way, however, in my judgment, through which the whole body of rates can' be materially reduced, and that way lies through a reduction in the cost of maintenance and operation. The wages of the ; railway workers constitute about CO per cent of the total expense of main-- tenancc and operation. With the present cost of living, it is my judgment' railway wages cannot be and ought not to be, in justice, substantially lessened, and they may have to be increased. We cannot control, and ought not to control, the price of supplies. There is but one way to reduce cost of operation materially, and it (? is by consolidating all the railroads into comparatively few systems, and while I cannot discuss that subject at this time I venture to say that with i proper consolidation, and with efficient management, the railroads can render more and better service than they now render at a cost of $500,-- ! 000,000 per year less than they now expend Hustling to Build Track for Harding LAKE CITY.

An Education and a Lesson in Geography to Last You All Your Life By ARTHUR COBB, Jr., in Motor Life. Frank as the observation may appear to tlie native sons of tlie state in which the climate is more salubrious, tlie sunshine brighter, and the moon larger than anywhere on earth, not all tranHcontinental tourists go West; not a few of them proceed in the other direction, to see what the rest of the country is like, and to be pleasantly surprised at the discovery that matchless beauty lies east of the Hockies. Rut whether you go cast or west, a trip across the American conti-nent is an education and a lesson in geography that will last throughout the remainder of your life. Yc talk a lot these days about Americanism and the Americanization of various elements of our population. What a boou it would be to the solution of these problems if our worth-whil- e citi-zenship material could be shown the length and breadth of the country from an automobile, the only conveyance suited to so a pur-pose. Within the borders of the United Slates lie unexplored regions of scenic beauty that equal the best to be found anywhere on earth. Every mountain in Europe from the snowcapped Alps of Switzerland to tht Ilartz of northern Germany has its duplicate or superior hero. |
