ONE JUDGE WHO BELIEVES IN LAW.
When Joseph U. lluicliiuauu, former presi
dent of the Carnegie Trust company, was re
cently convicted of making false reports to the
state banking department and was sentenced to
four and a half mouths' imprisonment for this
violation of law there was very general satisfac
tion expressed at the speed with which the ver
dict had been reached, and newspaper and other
opinions were largely in accord in accepting
the sentence as quite sufficient under the cir
cumstances. It now appears, however, that some
of the methods employed by the public prosecu
tor were open to serious criticism or were at
least of questionable propriety, and on represen
tations made by the convicted bankers' counsel
Supreme Court Justice Page has issued a certifi
cate of reasonable doubt and Reichinann is a
free wau today under a bond of $10,000 and
li is conviction and sentence cannot be reviewed by
the appellate division until a date when his term
of imprisonment would practically expire. This
unexpected turn gives the ease an entirely new
status and leaves the final outcome of it In
much doubt. It will be recalled that Keichmann,
after he had himself been indicted, was sum
moned before the grand jury and there refused
to answer certain questions on the ground that
the answers might tend to incriminate hiui but
linally did answer them by order of Justice
Davis, With reference to this unprecedented
procedure the district attorney has been quot.-.
as saying that when evidence has been secured
and submitted the court is not interested in 4 lie
manner in which it was obtained.
"1 do not so view the question," says Justice
I'age in his opinion accompanying the issue
of the certificate. "If the practice adopted in
this ease is to be sanctioned, the district attorney
practically secures the right to an examination
before trial, without even the protection afford
ed of the presence of counsel, or any one in
dieted for a crime for which, or some element
of which, a criminal charge could be niadi
against a third persou." In other words, Keich
mann was in one sense put on trial before the
grand jury and was there forced against his will
to give certain testimony that he could not have
been forced to give against himself when regu
larly on trial for there the burden of proof is
on the prosecution and the defendant is not ex
pected to assist in his own conviction. There
can be no question of Keichmann 's guilt, as
charged; but it is amazing that he could not
have been convicted without resort to tactics
that now throw doubt upon the soundness of the
verdict. If, in the end, he escapes convictioD
and punishment, it ought not to surprise any
body. Once get a conviction in a legal tangle,
and the chances are largely with the defendant.
AFTER LORIMER, STEPHENSON.
FOR THE EDIFICATION OF THE TRIBUNE.
The Ooldfield Tribune claims that it is not
an authority on ping pong, but on baseball, is
guided by the rules of the national game, and
claims that Hopkins had a right, according to
the rules, to throw the ball away that the um
pire had substituted for the one that he decided
was unfit for play. Rule 14, section 2, says,
in part:
"If the ball placed in play be batted
or thrown out of the grounds or into one
of the stands for spectators, or IN THE
JUDGMENT OB1 THE UMPIRE BE-
COMES UNFIT FOR PLAY FROM ANY
CAUSE, the umpire shall at once deliver
the alternate ball to the pitcher and an
other legal ball shall be supplied to him
so that heshall at all times have in his
control one or more alternate balls."
Another rule which would apply, when Hop
kins rushed on the diamond after the umpire
had issued a new ball and called "play," and
when the said Hopkins intentionally delayed
the game by taking the ball from the Tonopah
pitcher and throwing it over the fence, comes
under "Forfeited Games," rule 2(1, section 4:
"If a team employ tactics palpably de
signed to delay the game."
The tactics employed by the Ooldfield cap
tain would be nauseating even in professional
baseball, where dirty work is tolerated and
expected to a certain extent, but to be used in
a friendly amateur game, where clean sport
is encouraged, no words are adequate to express
. contempt for such tactics or the man who em
ploys them.
The ruling of the postoffice that deposits
in the postal savings banks cannot be attached
by creditors should resul in a rush for those
depositories.
It is just as important that the senate inves
tigate the election of Stephenson of Wisconsin
as that it oust Lorimer. Indeed, if the charge
as made by the Wisconsin legislature is true, the
political corruption by which the aged and de
crepit millionaire gratified his, ambition was far
more general in the state which La Follette is
supposed to have redeemed than in Illinois.
Old Ike Stephenson bought his way through the
popular primary, according to the accusation
against him; he spent more than $111,000 in
the actual purchase of individual votes. What
Lorimer did was not so base, considered in re
lation to its eflect on the morals of public life,
lie and his friends merely paid money for the
support of legislators assembled at Springfield;
tlioy did not go directly to the electorate with
their bribes.
La I'ol'.ette revived the investigations against
Lorimer, but he has remained silent as to the
necessity rl inquiring concerning the right ot
his collcagu.? to occupy a seat iu the senate. If
he feels that the presence of Lorimer in con
gress is a national disgrace and we conceits
that it is thtn how does he feel about the .vw
of the other senator from hit ,wn state?
Certainly the charges against Stephenson ap
pear to be based on substantial evidence. The
Wisconsin legislature uncovered all his campaign
practices and learned not only approximately
the total amount of money that he used, but
the crafty and round-about methods by whiVh he
distributed it in order that he might reach the
senate instead of the penitentiary.
When the investigation of Stephenson's pri
mary canvass was undertaken at Madison last
spring it was opposed by the speaker of the
assembly whom the old lumber millionaire had'
assisted in a political way. Perhaps the same
sentiment of gratitnde controls La Follette, who
could always count on Stephenson to back up his
activities in the state of "Wisconsin. In fact,
through the recent history of Wisconsin poli
tics La Follette and Stephenson walk hand-in-hand.
The millionaire helped first to put the
radical lawyer into the governor's chair and to
return him there, and later contributed to his
election to the senate. Now he has followed his
old-time friend to Washington in order that the
interests of the lumber trust may be beter safe
guarded during the consideration of Canadian
reciprocity and in the certain revision of the
tariff.
HERE'S A CHANCE. GIRLS!
Here is a chance for you, girls! The twin
sons of Sir Arthur and Lady Paget have pur
chased a 2500-acre fruit ranch in Inyo county,
and declare that they are going to become
American citizens and marry American girls.
They are 23 years of age, are graduates of Ox
ford university and are of fine stock. On the
father's side, they are descendants of that
Paget, who won his Marquisate at Waterloo, the
mother was Miss Minnie Stevens, the daughter
of the late Paron Stevens of New York.
Their elder brother is a captain of a regi
ment, in India. He and their father wanted
the boys to go into the army; the mother en
tirely approves of their becoming American
fruit farmers. They seem to be game boys. They
first tried an oil well in Wyoming which did not
materialize, and they worked a good while at
sfiO a month each on the Northern Pacific rail
road. Of course they will inherit great wealth after
a while, but they seem to have the stuff in
them to break even if they do not get the
wealth. Naturally the elder brother wiTl get
the title and most of the estate, but he will be
only a marquis. The boys, when they get their
American citizenship papers, will be sovereigns.
The franking privilege is certainly being
overworked to the limit now by both democrats
and republicans in congress. This is one of the
practices that makes the postoffice department
suffer for the sake of partisan polities. A num
ber of the speeches that have recently been
mailed free all over the country are not germane
to any issue under consideration.

Albert Frevert, of the Hall Liquor

We are not in favor of the nomination of
John Hays Hammond for vice president on the
next republican national ticket. Considering the
raiment that he wore in Westminster Abbey the
other day, the democrats would see to it that
he remained togged out in knee pants through
out the campaign. Sacramento Union.
Reports from Washington are to the effect
that senators have nearly all deserted the tariff
debates in the main chamber to attend th
Lorimer investigation under way in one of the
committee rooms. Why not turn the sen;-'
chamber over to the Lorimer committee?
That poet up in Michigan who, according to
the testimony of his wife in a suit for divorce,
gave her four dollars in six months, must have
had a side line that brought in a little money
once in a while.
American naval officers are shocked to hear
that England proposes to quit building dread
naughts. But the general trend of universal
peace and arbitration is all in the direction of
smaller navies. England may well lead the van.
Ill view of the threatened shortage in the
oyster erop and the serious reduction in the

Special to the Bonanza.
WASHINGTON, D. C July 12.
Hail to the tiller of the soil. lie
has won the respect of the worfd
Perhaps you have noticed that it
Isn't so common to decry his occu
pation as it used to be before Uncle
Sam discovered it to be a scence.
- Now young men are nocking to
the agricultural schools and col
leges and many of them are gradu
ating into professorships, or into
positions as experts with the gov
ernment. One of the latter has
just returned to Washington after
spending two months in Spain and
Sicily investigating lemon growing.
He is G. Harold Powell, whose work
tor the department of agriculture
in the investigation of causes of
fruit decay in cold storage and in
transit attracted such wide atten
tion. The citrus fruit growers of
California held his talents in such
esteem that they tried to get him
to go out there.
When they got up to an offer .of
$10,000 a year salary he succumbed
and he is now secretary and ma'
ager of the Citrue Protective League
of California, a model business or
ganization of agriculturalists, which
has been fighting for a tariff on
lemons that will permit the Indus
try to survive. Having secured that
tarifft the organization is now com
bating the organized campaign of
the Sicilian Importers to have it
reduced. The latter have raised a
big fund to influence public opinion
In this country and to affect leg
islation.
