By EYE WITNESS.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Hre LcaMtd Wirt.
Washington, March 19. Here is
a curious thing, because it show!
that when you are trailing political
notables you never can tell how it
is going to come out.
Now I suppose thaT if you had
all the names in the United States
to draw from, the last name you
would link, in sympathetic interest
with Harry Daughcrty's name is
the name of Eugene Debs, who is
Harry Daughcrty's prisoner in the
gray stone prison on the hills above
Atlanta.
And yet Sunday morning after
breakfast, Harry Daughcrtv, holder

Next, "Was he play-acting before
that roomlul:
I think he was not.
In the first place he should worry
bbout play-acting now a man upon
whom the chief of state has con
ferred vast power. The need for play
acting ifc over.
On the other matters concerning
which the roomful questioned him, he
had stalled laboriously. It was late
in the day and he seemed tired and
the answers, coming in a disinterest
ed monotone, were mostly "not a
thing," "the matter's under consid
of the patronage strings for War- j cration,
ities for robbery and passing worth-Jren Harding; Harry Daugherty, th j suppose

Daring Holdup.
The conviction of Olso and Hur
ley came out of the daring holdup
of the Robert Andrisf home near
Wood River, Sask., staged in tradi
tional western style. Two automo
biles with seven armed men relieved
.Andrist of 16 cases of whisky, then
slugged him for Jlot having more on

While fleeing to the American side
one car broke down and was hauled
to Noonan, ,T. D., for repairs. Ol
son and, Hurley remained while the
cither five went on. The. two were
identified next day by Noonan men
who were visiting Andrist at the
time of the holchip.

While Canadian liquor dealers
claimedthey were victimized out of
$250,000 worth of whisky by checks
drawn o-."Jictttiotis banks, federal
agents who raided, a place near
Greene, N. D.. for contraband whisky
purchased with the bogus checks
found, the "whisky" bottles contained
cold tea.
Canadian dealers assert that very
few cases wfrc "doctored."
The fate "of the Omaha quartet,
whose, extradition is sought by irate
Canadian liquor dealers, srtll hang
in the balance despite two hearings,
the nroviric-ial police being unable to
positively identify the men.

Mother of 11 Kiddies
Killed by Street Car
( lilomo Trlbiinr-Onwhe, Bee lasted Wire.
Chicago. March 19. "Be good
kiddies, while I am gone and I'll
be right back," said Mrs. Eteika
Zvra, mother of H children, as she
started for the market with a basket
on each arm to buy food for her
numerous brood.
But she did not come back. Hur
rying across a street, she stepped
away from one street car, directly
in front of another and was terribly
rushed. She died as the vtotorman
ind conductor lifted her from the
tracks. i
The body was. taken to a nearby
Morgue and her husband, a factory
worker, was notified. He collapsed
H'hen he saw the mangled body of
his wife.
"How can I explain to the kids,"
he moaned, "how can I make it
clear to them that their mother, who
loved them so, will never come
back?" ,
Attorney General to
"Look Over" Judges
Washington. March 19. Attorney
General Daugherty is going to "look
over personally all possible apooin
tees as federal judges or district at
torneys before selections are made.
In making known his intention, Mr.
Daugherty "said he intended to call
to Washington each man " up for
serious consideration in the districts
snd see them himself before-making
any appointments.
Another policy for the Depart
ment of Justice was announced by
Mr. Daugherty, who said that he
did not intend to institute any suits
unless his assistants agreed that pro
secution should be brought. AH the
cases now pending Detore tne de
partment, he said, are being investi
gated to determine whether any
should be dropped.
Court Unable to Restrain
"Rent Hog" Signs of Tenants
Chicago, March 19. Petition for
temporary injunction restraining
tenants from displaying placards in
their windows denouncing their
landlords as "rent hpgs and profi
teers, was withdrawn in the supe
rior court, after Judge roell had
ruled that the law did not empower
him to restrain , free speech. Ibe
.tudge told the tenants that they were
morally in the wrong, but that he
had no power to restrain them

Harding where is is today, is going
to spread the paper in the Debs
case out before him and tackle tbem
with eyes that are all dilated and
swimming, with that stuff the oculist
drops in then when he fits you to
a new pair fl glasses.
And he is going to do this, not
because there is any application for
Deb's pardon or for commutation of
sentence before him there is not.
But because be feels a human be
ing's and technicians's interest in
the case of Eugene Debs.
He said, and. said with the first
display of animation or interest he'd
shown in three-quarters of an hour:
Interested As Citizen.
"The Debs case stands alone.
I'm interested in it as a citizen. I
don't know that you can say it's
urgent, except on board humanitar
ian grounds. Palmer left me a rec
ommendation that Debs' sentence be
commuted. But 1 believe there j
no application for his pardon efor
the department now. However, I
want to get to the case. The presi
dent and I talked it over the other
day because it is interesting and he
wants information on it, too."
He pasned, a little look of worry
crossed his face and lie said;
".Since I ceased practicing for my
myself and began practicing for the
government 'I've overstrained my
eyes." Here he placed his right hand
for a moment over the throbbing
blue-gray optics "but I do want to
get at this case Sunday after break
fast. They are getting the papers
together fofc me now."
"So1," said' one. of the reporters,"
you have no bias in the matter?"
No bias," responded the attorney
general.
"You Never Can Tell."
As I was telling you. you never
can tell how your political notables
are going to pan out. This ouq
panned altogether different to what
I 'expected, and much more human
than I dreamed he would. I had my
little stage all set to bring on for
your attention kind or otherwise
an kisirutable sort of man's .figure
perhaps almost sinister and I was go
ing to try to annalyze for you a
mtnd skillful and may be devious.
And now it turns out to be just
a plain, straightaway report by, a
plain reporter.
The question it leaves open:
"Is the real Harry Daugherty the
don t know anvthing about it
might be and it might not be."
Playing safe, thought I. and
not like it. '
Aroused by Questions. '
JJut the question about Debs bless
the reporter who asked it got a rise
out of him, literally, for he rose and
began to pace the room, talking the
while eagerly and thrusting his hands
deep into his trousers pockets. His
voice became firm and -confident and
the tone deepened as did, his color.
But I cannot speculate more for
there must be crowded into this piece
a bit about his aspect.
Round head, baldish; big cars,
amall gray-blue or blue-gray eyes;
plump cheeks; a mouth to eat with
and a hand to get on in the world
with quick moving and higorous, I
mean. On the whole, at tolerant,
shrewd, good-natured face. He does
not look his 61 years by 10 good
years.
A double watch chain crossed his
bay window.
' I have linked him, up with Gene
Debs. Here is another whimscy
The day he took, before Mr. Justice
Day, his solemn oath of office an
oath that perhaps lays upon him a
heavier burden of responsibility as
a man of honor and a patriotic man
than the oath of office lays upon any
other official in the , land Lillian
Russell marched ,up and kissed him
on the cheek. (
But, at that, I don't think there is
going to me much emotionalism in
the attorney general's administration,
for he said, "I am not going to
bring any suits from now on which
my cabinet as I call mv assistants
"don't agree should be broueht."
