Most Oririnal
Judge In the U. S.
, Justice Crutchfield of.-ltich-ioonil
Police Court Was Sub
ject o Magazine Stories and
I Stage, Impersonations.
, i , ' '' . : . .
i?;,-?,.,,,? v5 rw .7 Thf
leath here recently of Justice Johnj
leter Lrutchucid rcmovea one oi tne
. ,:uost original characters in Ameri
. .asn legal annals. Justice of the
Richmond police court for 32 years,
littlge Crutchfield "enjoyed perhaps
iif widest reputation of any man
folding similar office.
Justice Crutchfield was born in
Richmond Seotembcr 20. 1844, and
vas educated in the public schools
tere. Possessed of an abundance 'of
natural wit and peculiar understand-.
nfe o'f human nature, he was im
'mlnsely popular. Magazine stories
were writteen of him and-stage im
personations were made of! the cele
brated, "One John," as he was some
times called.-
In the "old days."as the antitdry
period was called, judse Crutchfield
knew all of the r,old timers" and
when they began to appear 'on his
docket too often, he would have
ihlm called before him and ask:
,' Guilty or not guilty?" He knew
his man every time and when the
jitSsontr would begin to mumble and
minimize his offense, "Ten dollars
os tO days" would end ths, argument.
Years ago there was a character
known here as "Jimmy Jones." Re-
" xjrts were that "Jimmie" and Jus
'iiije Crutchfield served together in
If confederate army, but this never
wis confirmed. "Jimmy"" would ap
pear before the justice at least once
i a J week? and when his trembling
form .would saunter up this dialpgue
virpuld usually follow: ' "
i ' fGood moriiring, Mr.' Jones."
, 'Good morning, judge."
t f'What is th:- matter this timt Mr.
Janes?" -)
f Feeling a little sick last night,
arid I rather expect I got a little too
mlich liquor, justice," i
' r'So?" '
" i Yes. sir, a little too much, your
lilnor." : ' J
J'JifflmvV I have been your friend
a jong time. The last time you were
lufre I told you that if you came any
more this-year I would make it a
. year. But you and I can compro-
mise this matted. Now what is the
I best yotf can doj"
' .Jones would say he thought 10
f days would be about right, but Jus
tice John would hold out for six
mbnths and ask Jimmy to $tj an
1 otjier figure. Jimmy's refusal to com
promise further would bring from
trte judge the remark that "if you
wbn'i make it a month. I will have
tnf A vnn ero with 15 davs." where-
. .noon "Jimmy" would threaten tb
"duit coming to this court." Usually
hq was released when he became
' perhaps Justice Crutchfield was at
hre best whan his court room was
titled with sightseers. Then he would
rcd many fancy touches to the day's
" dispensation oi justice.?;-

Bill on Import
Duties Expected
To Become Law
Senate Committee Decides to
Report Measure Imposing
v.Tax on Agricultural
Products.
V By E. C. SNYDER.
Wanltlnston Correipondent, Om'li tie.
: Washington, u. uec.
(Special . , Telegram ) Chairman
Fordney of ttie ways and I means
committee. afteV an extended con-
fterence this morning wifh members
of the finae committee oi tne sen
ate, in which Judge "Gn-.en of Iowa
participated, said that the committee,
of which he was chairman, had de
cided to report the preen bill intro
duced"' on Wednesday, imposing
temporary duties uppn ccrtaiiiim-
porttd agricultural products to meew
present contingencies.
The Green bill places an import
duty lot IS cents a bushel on wheat;
10 cents a bushel on corn; 2 cents a
pound on beans; $2.50 a head on
cattle less than 1 year old and, on all
other cattle valued at not more than
IS a head, 30 per cnt advalorum;
1 5rt a head on sheet) 1 vear old or
over; 75 cents a' head on sheep less
than 1 year old; and on wool, com
monly known as doming wooi, in
cluding the hair of the angora goat,
camel and alpaca, unwashed, 12ceiits
a pound; when , imported, wasfcd,
the duty shall &e twice the amount
upon unwashed wool; when im
ported, scoured, three times the duty
to which it .will be subjected if im
ported unwashed, and all manufac
tures of wool, except manufactures
of carpet " wool, in addition to the
rates and duties now in force, 12
cents a pound whether flte samebe
wholly or made only in part of wool.
AVhite the duties fixed by the
Green bill are tentative and offered
&s a vehicle for the ways and means
committee to work on, it is believed
that the emergencies' of the situa
tion will demand non partisan con
sideration, by the qommittee with a
view of relieving farmers and stock-
growers of very serious losses.
Cnairman Fordney was of the
opinion hat the ''committee might
report the Green 'bill on Saturday
and under a special rate consider
ni nut it nn Ktnndav. He had as-
surances from members o-the sen-
ate- mai n uc icutwiv-
diate consideration by the finance
committee. ; . . "t
Of course a presidential veto is
possible, : but with anything like
unanimity in DOin senate ana- nuusc
there are those having the president's
confidence who believe that he might
sign such a bill because of its emer
gency character, v

allies in the event the latter offer cer
tain concessions. ".
