The records cf acquittals In the various
tilrilnnl court of thi country constitute
tin best svidcr.re In substantiation of th
ft'iiotmiit that hundreds of person are
f?l-My Accused of crimp every yeir. While.
omo of th nci(iilttal ar no doubht due to
lack of sufficient evidence to ccinvlrt rather
than to the Innocence of the accused, the
proportion of such cases In relation to tho
nrTCRaj acquittals la small Indeed.
Therefore. It behoove every member of
tho body roll'lo to know what to and whnt
not to do In cane he la ever falsely ac
cused of a felony, an untoward event that
may bef:i!I him as unexpectedly a It has
many another self-respecting, reputable
and Innocent man.
The one pre-eminent thing, then, for the.
person falsely accuied of murder, burglary,
theft, arson or any other of the crave
offense ngainst the people which conntltute
a felony, Is to preserve an unbroken alienee
In the presence of hbi accusers, after he
has said to them: "Qentlemen, I am not
Kullty. Now send for ray lawyer, aa the
law explicitly requires you to do."
"But that is the course generally pur
sued by the guilty man. Am I, an Innocent
man, to assume a nlmllar role?" some on
may ajk.
It Is the only sat way to act; It Is the
courao the law Itsolf prescribes. In effect,
the law says to the accused:
"No human being on the face of the
earth has any riKht whatsoever to ques
tion you In relation to any crime you may
or may not have committed. No officer
of the law, whether he be policeman or
judge, hna the ullKhtest scintilla, of right
to endeavor to make you say something
that will tend to Incriminate you, or to
lead the criminal authorities to draw the
Inference that you have so enmeshed your
self. You have one Indisputable right from
the time you are accused until the charge
against you Is Anally disposed of you need
not answer a single question put to you by
anybody; you need not make a single state
ment one way or another In relation to tho
offense with which you are charged."
Police Deareo,
Yet It Is common practice In this day and
generation for the pollco the moment they
have made an arrest In a felony case, par
ticularly If It be murder, to put the suspect
through what haa popularly come to known
as "the third degree." The man Is drugged
before a half doxen or more high officials,
resplendent In the uniform and badges al
lowed them by tho law; lie is seated In their
midst, and they tower threateningly over
him aa he Is mercilessly quizzed and subtle
and hypothetical questions are put to him
In an attempt to make him so commit him
self that the inquisitors can say; "Aha,
we have caught the murderer. Behold In
us great detectives, to ferret out the crim
inal so soon aftr the commission of the
orlme!"
The police have even gone so, far In nu
merous Instances as to suddenly confront
the suspect with tho Instrument with which
the murder was committed, or the vtctlm'g
bloody clothing, and In not a few instances
with the mutilated corpse Itself. This they
have clone in the hope that the suspect,
brought unexpectedly before something
linked with the crime, will give some evi
dence, of his guilt through shock, at least
enough for the purpose of basing formal
charges against him, and bo leading the
public to believe that Its police force Is of
the finest. Indeed, It Is not to bo doubted
that the pollco are not always careful to
Inform a suspect of his legal right not to
answer any quostlon that may be put to
hire If ha does not care to do so; and fre
quently, after he has been so Instructed In
a, none too Impressive manner, the poor man
Is literally brow-beaten Into making replies
to his Inquisitors' questions.
Frequently tho police Idea seems to be,
although there are bright exception, "Con
vict someone, unybody. no matter who, If
we can't get the criminal himself." They
take fn Intense personal interest In tasking
out cases, knowing that If they are success
ful credit will redound to them; and this
ambition frequently leads them to do many
things not In sympathy with tho law; for
example, garbling and twlatlng to their ad
vantage any statement that a suspect may
have mude.
Keep a Closed Pace.
Therefore, I say, when you are arresteJ,
charged with committing a felony of which
you are Innocent, absolutely refuse to en
tor Into conversation with any auth.Uy
of the law; do not answer a single ques-lon
asked you by the policeman arresting you,
the station house sergeant who assigns you
to a cell, or the captain who may have you
brought into his otflge for Inquisition. Ke
inumbcr that the police have frequently
displayed altogether too much personal zeal
before now, and that they may not be
squeamish about refraining from exercising
the same interest in your ease if they think
their ends will be furthered thereby.
On the other hand, when your lawyer haa
come In response to your summons proceed
to tell him everything. Do not make the
mistake of hiding anything from him. Lay
tsre your lite to htm, even though you
expose your family skeletons thereby, if he
deems It iiecojaary for his guidance, An
swer all of his question fully and without
evasion and give him all the assistance
you posnlbly can.
A lawyer has to depend largely or almost
solely upon his client for tho scheme of
defense, and that client who conceals this
thing or that may be sealing his own dom,
Innocent though ho be.
The disastrous results that not Infre
quently follow such treatment of counsel
by a client Is well exemplified in a remark
able ca of the People of the State (if
New York tgalnst Howard C. Pentium.
Tell Your Lawyer Llveri thing.
Bcnhum was aocused of murdering hi
wife by poisoning her with prune o acid.
The evidence tended to ohow" that shorily
before his wife's death he had fce.n guilty
of marital Infidelity, had quarreled wit.i
Iw.r and was known to have bought a con
coction cuntulnlng pruselc acid at a drug
store. In vlow of all this damning evi
dence the Jury brought In a verdict of
murder In the first degree, and when the
case was carried before the Mate's highest
tribunal, the court of appeals, the opinion
of the court, to which only one Judge tojs
exception, upheld the trlul court.
Drought face to face with the chair,
Benham new did what he should have done
at the start. He confessed to his counsel
that he had refrained from telling all he
knew about the e-ase In the belief that If
he did tell the fair name of his wife and
hlrrs.lf would be disgraced. The lawyer
saw a ray of hpe, made affidavit for a
new trlul on the ground that Important
new evidence had hen discovered; the mo
tion was granted, and on stconj trlul the
defendant was declared not guilty on the
strength of the Information he had re
vealed to his counsel at the eleventh hour,
lu ' of Ularkn-all.
It Is more difficult, for various reasons,
to prescribe the course to be taken when
a false accusation Is brought by an Indi-
tut the purpose of blackmail. Per-
hap? the metliod employed by a former
New Yo-k mayor In such an emergency
is as good as any '.hat can be recommended
for genersl use.
Wll the mayor was still In office he
was requested by a personal snd political
friend t Intorest himself In the welfare
of s certain woman whose property was
said to be In danger from litigation and
who was practically alone In the world.
He acceded to the request and from time
to time wrote letters to her. Most of
them were of so technical a bulsnes na
ture that they might have been published
to the world without attracting the slight
est attention. Ho met her only two or
three times, and then In the presence of
someone else.
nut there were some hnlf dozen of the
letters which he sent to her upon which a
sinister construction might have been
placed by the evil-minded None of them
contained a single objectionable word or
phrsso, but they mentioned the payment of
certain sums of money, which had passed
throtirh his hands, without explHlnlng the
wherefore, and each letter closed with an
expression of Interest In the woman to
whom they were written an expression
that upon ls face meant nothing more than
a chivalrous gentleman's desire to be cour
teous to one whom he was striving to as
sist. That any other construction could
be placed upon It the mayor never sus
pected till some time later.
i Sinister Demands.
One day there came to his office a per
son who Insisted upon seeing the mayor
alone. This person produced copies of the
letters In question and announced that they
would be made public unless the mayor
pnld over several thousand dollars within
a week. The mayor hnd never had such
an experience before nnd naturally wns
surprised, puzzled and somewhat alarmed.
He knew that his course had been Irre
proachable, hut he didn't know how to
prove It. The publication of the letters,
no matter how thoroughly he should clear
himself, would make a mark on the public
mind which could never he effaced. For
a moment he thought of paying tho money,
but only for a moment.
Without betraying any surprise, he asked
that the cople of the letters be left with
him a. few diiys. To his surprise this re
quest whs granted. He took the letter to
Thomas 11. Byrnes, then an inspector of
police, told him the story, and after some
reflection Bold he wanted to have the wo
man to whom the letters were written ar
rested for attempted blackmail. Ho re
alised that this would be a desperate course,
for If ever the woman was tried on the
charge the letters would have to come
out.
Byrnes listened, read the letters and got
tho mayor to lot him work on the case In
his own way for four days. After that he
suld It would be time enough to bring
legal action. He also made the mayor
promise absolute silence In the mean
time. Byrne's "got busy" at once. Inside -of
forty-eight hours he had secured the rec
ord of the woman, which provod to be that
of an old offender, though sho had never
been caught. For twenty-four hours longer
he had her shadowed. Then he sent for
her. She went to his office with apparent
fearlessness and apparently without sus
pecting why ahe had been sent for.
Caught In Her Own Trap.
Byrnes had little to s;.y, but he spread
before her a written account of her llfo,
which was so damning In its details and
of such merciless accuracy that the wo
man's seeming unstudied composures de
serted her Instantly. She became almost
hysterical
"What do you want me to do, Inspector?"
she asked, tearfully.
"Sign this," he replied, laconically.
"What If I refuse?" she asked, after
reading the paper offered and finding thai
It would place her completely In the In
spector's power.
"Then you will be arrested before you
leave this place on a warrant charging
you with attempting to blackmail the
mayor."
Bhe hesitated, but finally, with a storm
of protest, wrote her name at the bottom
of the paper.
"Now, bring me the mayor's original let
ters inside of an hour." '
Again there was a storm of protest,
but again she yielded. Next day the In
spector gave the letters to the mayor, but
the document signed by the woman was
deposited in the police archives.
Sometimes when falsely accused the best
thing to do is to see the police and say
nothing to anyone else.
Redress for a man falsely accused of
blackmail lies in prosecuting the black
mailer In a criminal court and securing his
conviction. Kedress for false accusation
at the hands of, the representatives of the
law consists in bringing an action for falsa
Imprisonment against the officer or officers
making the arrest and securing a money
damage. The law generally says that tha
state Itself cannot be held responsible for
false Imprisonment. Similar redress may
also be obtained from any one who has
given evidence leading to a false arrest
But the chief satisfaction lies In your
coming out of the fiery ordeal unscathed
and with your uame and honor bright and
clear.
BOY IS A REAL VEGETARIAN
Ohio Youth Who Haa Never Allowed
Animal Food to Pass His
Lips.
Dr. J. H. Kellogg, physlclan-ln-chlef of
a sanitarium at Battle Creek, Mich., who
is .nc of the most noted advocates of vege.
tarlanlsm In the world, haa been gathering
statistics and has discovered one person
who has never eaten meat In his life.
The person Is Hubert II. Bretz, a 16-year-old
boy of Cellna. O. Dr. Kellogg has re
ceived a letter from the boy's mother In
which she rays that her son has never
eaten meat, chicken, turkey, oysters or
even egas, the taste of which he docs not
know. He will not eat broths flavored with
meat. From Infancy he showed an abhor
rence for meat. When a child the mother
would put potato over a piece of meat and
try to deceive him, but he always ate the
potato snd rejected the meat. When he
grew older the mother attempted to hire
him to eat meat, but to no purpose. All
the rest of the family are meat eaters.
Contrary to the prophecies of the physi
cians that he would be sickly and. delicate,
he has enjoyed the best of health and has
never been 111 more than one week In his
life. He la an athlete and fond of outdoor
sports, being captain of the high school
foot ball team and the base ball nine. He
Is Intelligent, a good scholar and has won
many prizes as an elocutionist.
The boy weighs 140 pounds and Is five feet
eight and one-half Inches In height. He
has never had any of tha illnesses Incident
to childhood, such us measles, whooping
cough, etc., while his sister, who Is 11 years
' old and a meat eater, has had all of these
diseases, and he remained In the house with
her all the time.
There are many nonmeat euters In the
world, but all others gave up eating meat
after reaching a certain age.
Mrs. Bretz. the mother, writes that the
boy's diet Is principally potatoes, which
must be cooked without grease. Mfshed
or baked Is his favorite method of prepara
tion. He could eat potstoes three times a
day and never ark, for anything else. He
eats ple.ity of bread and navy beans. He
carts nothing for pastry and eats little
fruit.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

cessful year and the prosperity of the
country will unquestionably be reflected
In the cities and their merchants. It Is also
a fact that Nebraska had harvested a Tery
falr-alxed crop of wheat this season. The
quality has not been quite up to standard,
but where there Is such an admitted rhori
age, as there unquestionably is this year,
quantity counts much more than ususl and
quality less In fact, the prices quoted are
conclusive evidence that the lower grade
ef wheat are worth more than high grades
have averaged for years past. It is a nov
elty for wheat to reach the dollar mark
here much more so for No, 8 and No. 4
grades to touch the record. But wheat la
wheat tlrii yesr snd millers compete for
anything good enough to grind and elevator
men will clean and make aa much as possi
ble out of lower grades. The fact that there
Is such a shortage In the crop of wheat tne
world over will necessitate the mora gen
eral use of corn as a food for man and In
crease Its ne as fodder. Mote than this,
corn Is used for feeding stocK that under
normal conditions would not be hanging up
dressed or exposed for sale on the market.
There were also sharp advances In the
f rices of wheat futures In this market, but
hough the bids moved up materially there
were few sellers. The fact of the matter
Is that Omaha is on the right side of the
wheat trade, that its cominlsnion and ele
vator men have been bulls and right on
the market for months.
The speculative marketa under Chlcsgi
leadership and Influenced by Minneapolis
and Duluth's faith In the damage stories
were all higher.
Chicago stiirted the list with gains of a
point, followed by subsequent additional co
equal advances. Then there was a rush of
proflt-tnklng on the part of longs that
turned the tide the other way and Septem
ber broke to $1.0fii from $1.11V4, December
to $1.10 from $1.1214 and May $1.124 from
fl.16. With the rush of liiiiidatlo4i over
the late shorts took their Innings of getting
even and covered freely, advancing prices
again to $1 li for May, $1.12 for Decern
ber and S1.10V4 for September. The strength
of the May future was clenrly a feature of
the closing. The finol fiauros show net ad
vance -for the day of a fraction above a
point not such a big gain nn the present
markets go, but on top of the steady ad
vances of the last four week quite a factor.
There was nothing new In the influences.
It was the same story, the old, old story
of rust and damage, and from the general
tenor of the northwestern ndvlces It ap
peared to be a case of either disastrous
damage or complete mln.
Corn was strong but little changed for
Immediate delivery nnd io higher for the
more deferred futures.

CHICAGO, Aug. SO. A suggestion of kill
ing frost Monday In the western wheat
belt ent whent higher today than ever
during the present advance. September
sold at tl.im and December at $1.1,- Tho
close was off from the top prices, but
showed net advances of lc ami lQlc
respectively. September corn closed -c up
ana December lc higher. Qnts ore un
changed. Provision gained from a shn.la
to 7vc.
Wheat traders during the entire session
were kept in an Intensely excited mood by
the continued llow of unfavorable dis
patches from the northwest. The market
had lost none of Its recent bullishness when
trading started and the opening prices
showed gain of ValSc for the September
delivery at $1.10iy(j 1 p. nn, for c ember
of 'nc to l-alc at $1 .12vHl.i:v There
was plenty of whent for sale at these
prices by proflt-tnklng lonps. September
sagged off to $1.0V with liecenilier back
to J1.107. There was no suggestion of ft
weakening market, however, nnd the buy
ing was resumed for an hour with us much
eagerness ns though the crate had Just
broken out. At top prices $1.11 for Sep
tember and $1.13 for December there was
more liquidation, which operated to betr
the price for th nearer months to $1,1111,.
The close was strong at $1.1"S. December
broke to $1.12 and closed at $1.12V Sta
tistics were apparently given Utile consider
ation by the trade. Primary receipts were
797.1(10 bu., against SJS.lliO a year ago. Clear
unces of wheat and Hour equalled 79.5nO bu.
Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported
receipts of 290 cars, agulnst 297 last week
and 414 last year.
Sentiment in the corn trade underwent
a radical change over night, and when
the market oineel today there whs little
for sale, while commission houses had 11
large number of buying orders to fill. Het
tetnber found buyer to start with at i$t
54MI0. a net advance of 'ji4C. December
opened iie higher nt i2'siio.'r. Sep
tember closed firm at 64c. December kept
within tho opening range and closed tirin
at 6."c. Ixical receipts were 1GO cars.
Oats at the outset were strong, the tone
being Influenced almost entirely by other
grains. September started tic higher at
it4Vflc, steadying nt S4o. There was
enough local long selling to cause a re
action later to $4o nnd the close wns firm
at that figure. Local receipts were 3.Si cars.
Provisions ruled firm with only modorute
activity manifested. The price of live, hogs
was 5c higher and had Ita Influence on the
demand for provisions. September pork
closed 57'tc higher at $11.80. Lard was
up a shade at ti.90. Ribs gained 2c at
.4t.

CATTLE There were ptactlcany no cat
tle on sale today, so thut a test ot the mar
ket wns not Hindu, rur the week receipts
show an Increase over last week of about
6,0eu head and us compured with the same
week of lust year thero Is a decrease of
about t,000 head. For the yenr to date there
Is a decrease In supplies amounting to
nearly luo.uej head.
The market on corn-fed steers has been
In rather unsutlsluctory condition tills
week. Strictly choice cuttle, or in other
words, ripe, dry lot cattle ure about steauy,
but tew of that kind are being received.
On Tuesday thuro were some cuttle on sale
good enough to bring $a.76, und another
shipment trom the same feed lot arrived
on Friday and brought the same .meuiey.
Unless strictly choice, however, they nave
to sell lower, und fair to medium corn-feds,
or, In other words, those that come In
competition with westerns, are all of 5uc
per hundred lower and very dull at the de
cline. In fact, salesmen who hud short-fed
cattle thut showed grass had a hard time
to get even a bid on them. Strictly choico
corn-fed steers may be quoted from to. 60 to
$5.75; good to choice, $5 to $5.50, fair to
good lrom $4.25 to $4. SO and common kinds
trom J1.25 down.
The market for western grass beef steers
ho also suffered In bad shupe. A few cut
lid arrive good enough to sell from $4.5o to
$5 und those may not be over 25c lower,
but others are light around 5oc lower than
at the close of lust week. Good to choico
grades may be quoted from $3.75 to $4.35,
fair to good from $3.15 to $3.65, common to
fair from J3.75 to $3.10.
The cow market was about as mean last
week as it has been at any time, and in
reality the market on Wednesday reached
the lowest point seen In a lung time. Tho
feeling on Thursduy and Friday wa u
trifle better, but still the week closes with
a decline from last week ranging from 2jc
to 0c and In extreme cases to 50c. The
greatest decline has been on the medium
or pretty good cows. There are a pile of
pretty good cows selling right around $2.
Good to choice corn-fed cows may be quoted
from $2.90 to $3 25, good to choice grass
cows from $2.60 to $3, tiilr to good from IU.10
to 2.40, common to fair from $1.50 to $2,
stock heifers from SI .76 to $3.25. Canners
and cutter are still very hard to dispose
of nnd a large proportion of them ere
bought and Bhlpped back to the country.
The nm r ket for bulls has suffered fust
about the same as on cows, grtess bulls
selling largely from $1.75 to $2.25. Very few
veal calves are corning forward and prices
have not changed much.
The demand tor Blockers and feeders
picked up a little toward the close of the
week and as a result the better grades are
selling nearly steady with the close of
lust week. Common kinds, though, are
rather neglected and a little lower. Good
to choice grades are quoted from $3.25 to
$3.50, fair to good from $2.85 to $1 15 and
common stuff from $2.75 down. Speculators
have very few cattle on hand to carry over
Bunday, so thnt there should be a fairly
good market the first of the week.
HOGS There was rather a liberal run of
hogs here this morning for a Saturday, but
the market opened strong to a nickel
higher and trading at the start was rather
active. It was noticeable, however, thst
both packers and shippers were picking
out the better loads and neglecting the
common kinds snd after they had their
more urgent orders filled they were not
so anxious and the market weakened.
The bulk of the heavy hogs sold early from
$5.07 to $5.12, mixed hogs from $6.12
to 5 17 and choice lights and butcher'
weights from $5.17 to $5.26. The close cf
the market was rather slow and weak
and It was a little late before they were
all disposed of.
For the week receipts show a decrease
ns compared with the big run of last week,
smounting to about I6.00O head, but com
pared with the corresponding week of
fast year there 1m an ncreiise of about
4 1H1O head. Prices have fluctuated bark
and forih to quite an extent, but at the
close of tha week the market shows a
net gain over the rinse of last week
amounting to about 16 ti Hc. TMs advance
carries the market to the hlrh point of
Ihe month. Bepreientatlve sales;

were In at the opening of the market.
P ivers 'l seemed to be anxious for sup
plies In spit of the fsct that it ws Ml
lurrifly and as n rfsult everything sold In
a hurry at good prices. There were .
cars cf Idaho ewes that Sold for $3 and
one car brought 12 26. A small bunch of
Nebraska ewes sold for $3 60.
For the week receipts re a trifle heavier
than fvr last week, but compared with
the same week of last esr the supply I
still less than half as large. The demand
has bfen Just shout e-nia to th receipts
snd as a result a fairly active and not
fnr from stesdv market has been expe
rience. In spots the market may be a
trifle weaker, but the change from the
close f last week Is hardly worth men
tioning Lamb have arrived In very limited num
bers at this p. ilnt. but some of the other
market's supplies have been more liberal
snd as a result the tendency of prices hss
been downward. A choice bunch of lambs
ought to sell up to $3 3i without much
tn uble.
There bus been an sctive feeder market
sll the week with prices stesdy There
are a good many order In the hands of
commission men which thev have been un
able to fill on account of th lluht offer
ings. A lively demand for ffeders Is
looked for f n m this time on.
