Attorney Waters Said It Was Bad Policy To Trap Men Into Committi.ig a Crime. Not What the City Pays Deteotivos For Mr. Rogers' Remarks. Tho question whether PrlsonUoeper Johu n. Washer Is guilty of ofllclai misconduct, is now up to the Board of City Commissioners to determine. At 11 ''1 Attorneys S. G. lingers and P. H. Waters concluded their argu ments. Attorney Waters opened tbo discussion. In.substauee he said: "This hearing is In the nature of a preliminary examination to inquire in to certain rumors in which it is alleged that Prlsonkeeper Johu Washer Is guilty of misconduct in ofHce. -Tlio main evidence submitted is that lie assisted in a plan to commit an al leged crime, siud that ho Is guilty ol conspiring to bring a brother otlicor into contempt and disrepute." Tho speaker read from the testimony submitted by William Smith, and said that it clearly showed that Washer worked upon Smith through Sherman. The testimony of Mr. Schmidt, the pro prietor of tlio Arcade cafe, was qlso , reviewed. -..The attorney pointed to the testimony given by Schmidt, where he testified that Washei.' and Sherman were in the habit of meeting nearly ev ery evening In his place. The attorney paid that Druggist J. M. Laffer's tes timony showed Hint Washer and Sher man had diawn Otllcer Keuipcl's name into the proposed bank robbery. Mr. Waters charged Washer and Sherman with going to the Beacon Journal ofUce and calling Mr. Latter there for a common purpose and In terest. "County Prosecutor Wunuinaker has testified that he told Sherman to go slow In working upon the alleged plan to rob the Peoples' bank. He did not oei .vqles taken lust night, It Is ev advlse him to do this because he dent that the Stieel Railway com wanted to apprehend a crime, but to successfully Induce men to commit a crime. These ofticers, Sherman and Washer, had no right to trap another nian Into committing a crime. This Board has no right lo allow ofticers under Its control to do that kind of work." Attorney S. G. Rogers, couusel for Mr. Washer, at the opening of his ar gument, M'erely arraigned Attorney Waters for his remarks about Prosecu- tor Wananiaker. ( "Tills argument would, iC true, go more towards Impeaching the Prosecu tor of Summit county than nny one elso. Waters says Washer has aided and abetted a plan to commit u crime, and has Impeached anil drawn into It tho name of a brother otllcer, Joe Kcm pel, as one of the parties. This Is not true and (ho evidence does not show it. The testimony of Prosecutor Wuna maker shows that ho sent Washer to Mr. Laffer to Inform him of the ar fah and that every plan was laid to apprehend tho men whom it Is al - leged were to commit the crime of robbing a bank. The name of QIHcer KeinPel was not stated by WiiHher, bht by nill Smith. If the character of that police otllcer cannot stand up under the imputation and statottnmt of a man like Bill Smith, then thai; officer Is in a mighty poor way. it you have oulcers ou tho police foivo whose character cannot endure against; statements made by a thief, yon had better discharge every officer on the forca (n every nipn or woman, but the effect ... , . . ... m . , , i Is flrt on- the stomach, and from "I havo heard public officials abuwl ln tue nervollH system.

Some Interesting Figures Concerning Catholic Schools of City. Rev. V. T. Moran, pastor of the St. Mary's Catholic church, has arranged a now course of shirty for St. Mary's school, whicli will be established ih a short tirap. The course eonuM? of eight guides, a High school course, and a musical de partment. In the Introduction tof the course of study Rev. Moran respectfully lnvlter. comparison of the work done in 'the St. Mary's school with thai of tlio pub lic schools of the city. He snys: '' "The objection Is sometimes nuldo by those unacquainted with the facts that lellglon is tnuglil In the Catholic schools to the prejudice of secular branches of Knowledge. We offer our course of study as, the best answer to such unwarranted criticism. "The parochial school Is an Import ant feature of economy in our munici pal finances. At a time when com plaint of the burden of the city gov ernment expenses is not wholly with out, foundation, if ought to bea mutter of congratulation that an annual sav ing of many thousands of ilollnis is had because of the Catholic schools. The cost per capita of education In the elementary schools of our city, up. cording to the report for the year end ing August ai, 1(100, on a basis or eu lollmeiit was SI 1.77, of actual attendance- S1II.0J. lu the high school the cost per capita computed in the same way was .$2i.!n and Klft.75. It will be noticed thai education is expensive. We have lu the Catholic schools of Akion between eleven and twelve hun dred pupils, let, us say eleven bundled and fifty.

The imestuiont lu buildings and equipment placed at a moderate llguie Is not los-s than seventy-five thousand dollars, luteiesl on -which at the rate of six per cent per annum w.ould amount to font thous and five hundred dollars, making a total annual salng to the city of more than eighteen thousand dollars. The cost of our schools to us, owing lo the economy of sisters' teaching, Is not nearly Ihat amount; but this docs noi lessen tho Indebtedness of the city to Its Catholic population. 'Wo call attention to tho lluiiiiehil aspect of the education question, not to complain of Injustice, nor yet lo otfer a remedy, which might easily bu done; we enlertainiiio hope that the American peuple, so fair lu other matters, Will &oou remove thf vexatious bunion of double taxation Imposed on 11 portion of the population as little capable as any of bearing It; but we deem It proper to bet forth tlio facts.
