SCHEME TO DODGE POLICE BOARD
Proprietor Does That, but Falls to
Dock Mis Employe, Who Swears
He Bought Place for One '
Thousand Dollar.
The beat laid schemes of mice and men
gang ata aglee and leave us naught but
grief and' pain for promised Joy.
When John Achats discovered that the
Board of Fire and Police Commissioners
was hatching up a little plot to revoke his
saloon license, or, at least, to refuse to re
new It, Mr. Achats sat down, took several
pulls on hla pipe and proceeded to hatch
out a little plot of his own. '
"I'll put in Fred's name,", quoth he.
'Fred" Is Fred Luta, who was barkeeper
for Achats in the saloon which la located
on North, Sixteenth street, ,j jrj
Luts-was willing, the Board of. Fire and
Police Commissioners granted a new lloense
and all was lovely.
But lo order to give the affair an air of
genulnenesa Achats made out a bill of sale
to Luts and this he gave, Achats says,
sin.ply porforma without consideration In
return. Mr. Luts, be It remarked, swears
he paid out $1,000 to Achats and thus really
bought the establishment.
Luts Is rather stubborn on this point
and has proceeded to behave in the saloon
as If It Is really hls He has taken In the
receipts and otherwise acted In a manner
calculated to upset the peace of mind of
Aohats,
That worthy could finally stand It no
longer. He consulted a lawyer and pro
cured a writ of replevin In county court.
Constable Paul Stein served It.
Now the ease has como to trial before
Judge Leslie to enforoe or abrogate the
replevin.
Did the Sal Take Placet
The question before the court Is whether
a sale really did take place and the ethics
of Mr. Achata's little scheme are not In
volved In this proceeding. If .no considera
tion passed, Luts did not acquire title, and
the fixtures and good ' will belong ' to
Achats.
Luts, taking the stand In his 'own be
half, swore he paid out 11.000-cash. "r-
"Where did you get' It?" asked J." M.
Macfarland, counsel for Achats.
"I saved It up," replied the former bar
keeper, i "
"What was your salary?"
"Well, for a while I got $13 a week, and
later I got a raise to US." -
"And you aaved $1,000 out of $12 a week?"
inquired the attorney, sarcastically.
Luts replied in the affirmative.
"Did you keep it In a bank?"
Luts never had a bank account;
"Oh, then you carried all this money
around on your person?"
"Part of the time," affirmed the witness.
Constable ' Paul Stein was another wit
ness. A writ of replevin may be served
only on personal property, but Stein, ac
cording to his statement on the stand,
served the writ on real estate, too.
"Do you often replevin real estate?" he
was asked,.
"Oh, sometimes," answered Stein non
chalantly. -
Judge Leslie will decide the case In a
day or two.

Several hundred persons attended the state
convention of faith healers in Des Moines
today and a score or more of aXfllcted per
sons crowded about "Brother" Yoakum
from California who conducted a "ollnlo"
to show what is possible. He carried a
small bottle of colorless oil and with his
finger rubbed a small quantity on the
head of each person coming for relief, then
declared the healing a success and went
on to others. The majority of those at
tending were women and at the meetings
during the afternoon and evening showed
many signs of hysteria.
It was decided that Yoakum should be
employed for a week to remain and demon
strate the power of healing by faith.

to the attention of the board today was
that a package could be sent from Bur

Many similar cases of discrimination are

Wrestler Telia Details of Internal
Workings of Stores.
In the testimony of Tom Gay, there came
out the Internal operations of the gang,
with particular reference to the Counoll
Bluffs, New Orleans and Denver stores.
The defense made a sharp examination of
Gay In the conventional effort to discredit
hla evidence. He proved a formidable wit
ness, planned by the government to form
a climax In the Inorimlnatlng evidence.
Gay told of the Indisputable use of the
malls In the steering operations.
"Have, you recollection of the receipt of
letters from any of the defendants f asked

"I go 'letter signed 'Box 4.' -saying:
"The protection here Is the best and we are
ready te handle all kinds of goods.1 "
The use of the word 'vamp,' as a
synomym for mike waa explained by Gay,
who admitted that sometimes the vaejops
were revamped. Gay told of the receipt
of the 'show letters' used to entrap mikes.
through the malls. A Striking Mt of ths
nomenclature of the miking gam waa
mads clear by Gay.
"I got ' a letter saying: 'Owing to a
small fire It has been necessary to mors
the store from Council Bluffs to Little
Rock. We sre ready to handle mat a. gloves,
shoes, ropes and horses."
"They meant by that wrestling, boxing,
foot races and horse raoes. I don't know
what they meant by ropes. That referred
to a wise game I never did understand."
Gay testified that Xhs Denver store was
operated by Ed. C. Moore, Frank W.
Brown and R. B. ' Harrlman, as an Inde
pendent Institution.
The use of newspaper clippings about
athletics and ' millionaires wes explained
by Gay who Identified bales of the clip

Gay Savagely Attacked.
The cross-examination Wtnoked ' Oey
savagely:
"Yes, I've been a coal miner, bartender,
gambler; played poker, roulette and all the
rest; wrestled, and always took a chanoe!"
exclaimed Gay.
Emmet Tinley gained from Gay the ad
mlsplon he had held - a conference with

Tinley.
"No, sir." ' ' -"Not

"No, sir I don't care for the Job." '
"You've made arrangements with Mr.
Swenson not to take auch a Job?"
"No, air."
N. J. Glover, the Princeton, Mo., druggist.
who proved o surly a wltneHS the day be
fore was resiled. Glover had been forced
to admit he had received letters as "No.
88," or at least that they had been found In
his desk.
"Did you ever have and bad luck with a
vamp or prospectlve mikeT" asked Sylvester
Rush. ,
"I refuse to answer on the ground that I
might incriminate myself."
Glover was excused and returned to his
seat beside John R. Dobbins in ha rear of
the court room. .
Swenson as an Expert.
The testimony of Inspector Swenson was
taken at the close of the morning sesnlon
as an expert In handwriting and to tell of

noon recess.
' Ths reading of the exhibits will be con
cluded this afternoon, and at the end of

CONSERVATION OF CAPITAL

"WASTE AND RISI1T0 WAGES
Rallroaa Magnate, In Aaareaa al St.
Paal, Says These Are Hist Factors
In Prlee PrebSeaa Tee)
Many Bond Issues.
ST. PA.UL, March 17.-The address of
James J. Hill, chairman ef the board of
direotors Of the Great Northern railway.
6n "Conservation of Capital." was the
feature of the forenoon session of the state
eonservatlon congress today. Howard El
liott, president of the Northern Paclfio
railway, presided.
The general subject of the session was
"Atrioultural Development In Minnesota."
The other speakers were Prof. E. V. Rob
inson of the University of Minnesota, who
apoke on "The Farm Wealth of Minne
sota," and Prof. A. B. Chamberlain, au
perlntendent of the Farmers' Institute ef
Sduth Dakota, whose subject was "Agrl
qulture a Science and a Competitive Busi
ness." Addresa of Mr. Mill.
James J. Hill In his address urged the
conservation of capital, condemned ex
travagance, gave the oauses of the Inorease
In prices and told how the situation in
scribed by him might be remedied.
Mr. Hill said the national debt now tends
to rise, ooncealed under the boll I e fiction
of certificates of Indebtedness to cover
treasury deficits. "If." he continued, "ths
advocates of large bond Issues for all
manner of Internal Improvements should
carry their point. If that resource is net
definitely restricted to the emergency of
war, we will be in the contrition of Europe,
where the motto of every chancellery now
seems to be, 'After the deluge.'
"The phenomenal increase of publlo ex
penditure has already produced a plentiful
crop of publlo Ills. It is one of the causes
of the Increase In prices now disturbing
the people. This Increase follows in 'a
suggestive way the Inflation f national
and local budgets. The average cost of
the supplies that must be bought for Brao-
tloally every household has Inoreased about
to per cent between UN and. 1KXL During
ine last year there has been a marked lift
ing of the prlca level. Foodstuffs cost from
I to 70 per cent more than tea years age.
Cnrreaoy and the Tariff.
"Something la due to enormous currency
Inflation. The total per capita In the
ucitea statea In 1W was W1.4L and in 1909.
It wae 135.01. Although population had
grown by many millions In these thirteen
years, the amount of money to each Indi
vidual had Increased by til. SO, or more than
60 per cent. The Inorease la the total gold
preduatton of the world, which rose from
SUS,S4I,000 In im to over tO7.e00.000 in leoi.
has been made the basis for one form and
anotner or credit Issues aggregating a vast
sum.
"The tariff la another contributing causa.
It Is true that it oan furnish hut. a partial
explanation. For te only a limited extent
can the rise in food prices be affected by
or traced to the tariff. As to commodities
that we export, the tariff Is Inoperative. It
generally affects prloes directly as we he
acme Importers. Nevertheless, the tariff
must bear it share of responsibility for
rising prices. v.
. ."Combinations which are actually in re
straint of trade, which have monopolised
their field and ' are -either utmtrclled by a
common secret management, or a secret
agreement to maintain exorbitant charges
are partly responsible. 8 (ill more of ths
rise of prices Is due to the decline of agri
cultural preduots as oompared with the
Increase of population." Decrease In the
number of cattle and swine waa also given
as a reason.
"When due allowance has been made for
the effect of these forces that make for
dearer living, there still remains a large
unexplained balance," said Mr. Hill. "This
must be oredlted te the lavish expenditure
which has now grown to be a national
trait. Waste, Idleness and rising wages,
all lnter-related te one another, now as
cause and now as effect are, next to an
over Issue of Irredeemable paper, the three
meet powerful forces In the world to raise
prices.
Rise of Waarea.
"Perhaps the greatest factor of all the
price problem is the wage rate. Every
body knowa that labor cost la ths prlnolpal
item In all forms of Industry. The wage
rate has been rising steadily In this coun
try; Powerful forces are back , of this
movement. It has publlo sympathy. To re- '
slst it is difficult and may be dangerous.
As cost of production Is chiefly labor
cost, the price of the finished article must
go up If the price of labor Is raised. This
Is Just as true of the farm as of the
factory.
"The effect of national waste of capital
Is felt Immediately In the added weight
of taxation. The taxes collect. Annually
from the railroads of the country have
Increased more than 200 per cent slnoe
189. They Inoreased by $40,000,000 and by
more than 1100 per mile of track between
1800 and 190$. Franchise taxes, Inheritance
takes, taxea on. corporations and Incpine
taxes are referred to with neither ap
proval nor disapproval.
"The modern theory that you can, safely
tax the wealthy la Just as obnoxious as
the medieval theory that you oan aafely
oppress or kill the poor. It Is obnoxious
not because wealth deserves special con.
slderatlon, but because capital Is ths
mainspring of all Industry and material
development; and. after you have devoted
so much of It to the unproductive pur
poses that the state represents when It
transcends Its primary funotlon aa keeper
of the peace and administrator of Justice,
there will be Just ao much less left to .pay
out In wages and devote to the creation
of other wealth.
"The saving feature of our situation Is
that It Is not eomplex, and that the remedy
Is not obsoure. The Ideal of Intelligent
economy must be restored. Let the rule
be that every dollar unprofltably spent

Immediately affected, but aa well, the rep
resentatives of transportation bureaua In
St. Louis, Chicago. Indianapolis and Cin

Is atated, protest, against the granting of
the rata asked for, but they will demand
that tho freight rates to the citiea they
represent be reduoed In a corresponding
measure. The hearing; of arguments will
not begin actively until tomorrow. .
H. Q. Wilson, transportation commis
sioner for the Kansas City Commercial
olufc, will ask that the statea of Kansas
from the east be reduced to a lower figure
than that demanded in the petition from
the western and southern communities on
the grounds that the distance from New
York by rati Is less than to any of the
petition points by way of Galveston. It
probably will be several months before a

President Toft's address at the hannuet
of the Irish Fellowship olub was aa fol
low:
"Mr. Chairman and . Gentlemen of the
Irish Fellowship Club: It Is two year slnoe
X tasted the fine flavor of your hospital
ity at a lunoheon where my stay waa only
too short for my pleasure. When your hon
orable committee visited . me, therefore. . I
yielded to the temptation and -agreed te
again become your guest when you ahold
meet to celebrate the day that awa-kee the
heart throbs of every true son of Ireland.
' "8t Patrick's day in the morning.' I
never quite understood the significance "of
the last three word -of the phrase unless
they meant the brightness of the .morning
did not wear until long hi the night of that
day In the spirit of thoee who are loyal .to
the anniversary.
'On such an occasion' as this one's mind
turns naturally to the history of that beau
tiful island 'With her back -toward Eng
land, her face to the west' and the part
that St. Patrick played in her olvtllsatlon
and development
"St Patrick was born, probably, on the
bnke of the Severn, at a town that he
called Dannaventa, 189 years after the birth
of Christ. We waa the eon of a British
Celt and Roman citizen named Calpurnlsh,
and his wife, Conoeesa. They were of the
same race as thoee for whom he lived and
died. . v- :':..-.'.... . ...
"When, during the' mutation of the
Roman empire, protection waa withdrawn
from Britain, young Patriok. at the age, of
16 years, was captured by an Irish maraud
ing force and taken to Ireland, -and there
for six year In the far western part of
Connaught served in bondage aa a herds
man. ... i '
"ljscoplng from the island on' a ship
from Tlcklow harbor after the six year
he landed In France somewhere near Bor
deaux and, wandering across the then
desolated face of Gaul, he ' reached
Provence, - in aouthern France, and la a
monastery but recently founded on tHe
Island of Larlnus found refuge In the
cloister of St. Honoratas and there became
a monk.
"After a few -year of monastic life he
returned to Britain to visit his home and
friends, and while there he definitely
formed the purpose of redeeming the Island
of Its captivity from paganism and bring
ing It within the Christian church.
"St Patrick Introduced into Ireland the
Latin language. It became the language
of the church all over the Island and It
made a union with Rome that has never
been broken. He laid the foundation of
the culture and the spread of eduoatlon
and the development of the liberal arts,
which put Ireland In the forefront of civil
isation for a thousand year. . , 1

"The history thereafter is a sad one.

the Normans, ao as to make a homofeneoue

"Certalply flwt untfi the nineteenth and
twentieth centuries have governmental
measures been adopted In Ireland with any
view to bettering the conditions of the
Irish people. During the centuries pre-
ceding the nineteenth and clear back to th
