Mr. Leiry who gave a moving pic- i *^l
man Harley Potter rounded up
three young fellows who were drink
ing and disturbing the peace. Two
of the men were Henry Filding and
Tom Gandy, who have been staying
at the Commercial Hotel without
means to pay for their keep. The
othei lad, Steve Partig, is a friend
of. the two before mentioned and he
works as clerk at the same hotel.
The fellows were making too much
noise about the hotel and conse
quently Potter lodged them in jail.
The next morning the prisoners
were brought up before Judge Mes
singer. After hearing the facts of
the case the judge pronounced sen
tence. Partig was fined $10 and
costs and Filding and Gandy were
each given fifteen days in jail and
costs, or the option of leaving the
city in 30 minutes. The lads took
the "3 0 minutes" and no doubt are
still going. It is thought that most
of the toughs have left for other
parts.

OIL POWER ON THE OCEAN
Success of Internal Combustion En
gine May Cause Revolution In
Shipping Industry.
A great revolution in the shipping
industry probably unequaled in any
period of its history, was predicted
in a recent interview in London by
Sir Marcus Samuel, head of the Shell
Trading and Transport company, ow
ing to the success of the internal com
bustion engine as a motive power foi
vessels.
"It insures," he said, "a saving in
cost and a great saving of space,
weight and crew. Cleanliness would
be increased and also the comfort ol
passengers. It would insure safety
from boiler explosions and spontane
ous combustion and many other ad
vantages.
"Those who argue about the in
creased cost of oil do not understand.
Vou must remember that one ton oJ
oil is equal to four tons of coal and
t'hat the larger power internal combus
tion engine makes for greater economy
in using oil. I think it is a great pity
(lie United States, with its immense
oil resources, is not taking a more ac
tive part in ths development of th-e
internal combustion marine engine
and that the largest oil company ha£
not done more to encourage the trade
"As an instance, this oil company
went to Roumania, but from one pc^nt
of view it was singularly unsuccessful
The production after some years
working reached an average of aboul
fifteen thousand tons a month. W*
went there years later and our pro
duction Is 50,000 tons a month. I have
always maintained that the oil supply
of the world Is more likely to be met
in the Borneo fields than in any oth
er. There we have unlimited supplies,
so the question of prohibitive cosi
need not enter Into the reckonings oi
the maintenance of motor driven ves
sels."
SHE GAVE HER AGE AS 34
But the Witness Was Flustered and
Told Her Bust Measurement by
Mistake.
One of the court attaches tells of a
rather amusing incident which oc
curred one day in municipal court. An
important criminal case was pending.
All the testimony was in, and the at
torneys had finished their arguments.
It was a tense moment. The court had
turned to the Jury and was about to
make his final charge when a woman
arose in the audience.
"Can I say a word?" she asked th«
judge. The court gave permission. Th«
woman had been one of the chief wit
nesses for the defense.
"What effect would It have on my
testimony If it became known that 1
told a falsehood on the witness
stand?" she asked.
Attorneys for both sides leaped up
and the jury looked startled.
"That all depends upon whether the
testimony you falsified is material to
the issue," said the court severely.
"But I couldn't help it," said the
woman who was on the verge of tears.
"They made me so excited with their
old questions. They asked me how
old I was, and I said thirty-four, but I
was so flustered that I gave my bust
measurement." Milwaukee Free
Press.
Fashion a Shy Bird.
Fashion is a shy bird, and an ob
servant critic has noticed that tail
ors are not advising the frock coat
and fancy waistcoat, which are becom
ing un.-opulnr because Mr. Seddon
was so dressed In the dock. The
passing of the frock coat will be wel
comed by many, and by many who do
not remember the execution of Mrs.
Manning in 1849, who Bwung in black
satin, and made that material unfash
ionable for many years. There Is as
opening for reformers wfio wish to
change the fashions and are willing
to go to the stake for their belief.
One can foresee a woman who will
commit a murder in order to be hang
ed in a hobble skirt, so that there
shall be ho more hobble skirts In the
fashionable world. And the enthusi
astic vegetarian might kill some oth
er donkey and die in leather boots,
with the idea of bringing vegetable
boots into fashion. There are many
possibilities for the reformers WJJO
