SHERIFF MEREDITH DOES NOT HARBOR TRAMPS IN JAIL He Makes This Statement When the Action of State Board of Charities Was Pointed Out.

THIS PART OF THE ANNUAL REPORT IS COMPLETED. Many Sheriffs Have Welcomed "Weary William" With Open Arms, As It Increases Fees for Prisoners' Care. If the report is true t hat the state board of charities when it submits its annual report, will criticise the sheriffs of the state for harboring hobos In the county jails, it will censure Sheriff Meredith and all other sheriffs in Indiana of an act of which they are not guilty. "We do not harbor tramps in the Wayne county jail any more than 1 ramps are harbored in the city jail. This means that in neither institution are tramps quartered unless they are harged with some offense," said Sheriff Meredith. "I believe this is the .situation in all other counties." That part of the board's report which deals with the hobo problem, has Just been completed and it takes i severe slap at the sheriffs who hav'e been in the habit of converting the Jails into boarding places for weary Itinerants. It is stated that the report nlleges that in recent years it has been u custom for some sheriffs to take in for a night's lodging any tramp who comes along, first formally arresting him. The tramp gets his supper, one night's lodging and breakfast and the sheriff charges the county two days' board at JS cents. Th menu placed before the tramp is not extreme, and the entire cost to the sheriff is perhaps not more than i.' or cents. The report of the board will show that there has been some improvement along this Tine. However, there are a number of counties, the board insists. In which it is shown that nearly every tramp who stopped at the jail had remained only two days. THE CITY IN BRIEF Butfrtck's patterns. Morris & Co'a G. R.

The first, under date of December 17, directed to Governor Sparks, of Nevada, and signed by t.ie president, reads: "1 sent the troops at your request, but from the tenor of vour telegram and from the representations made me by the two se'iato'-s from Nevada and the members of thp lower house of congress from Nevada it appears that an insurrect'on was imminent against which the state authorities would be powerless. The troops have now been in Goldfield 10 days and no insurrection has occurred and semingly no circumstances exist to justify your now calling on me for action by the troops tinder the provision of the 'constitution. The troops were sent to Goldfield to be ready to meet a grave emergency which seamed likely to arise, and not to provide a substitute lor the exercise by the statf of its police functions. Duty of the State. "I do not feel at liberty to leave them indefinitely under such circumstances that they will in effect be performing on the part of the United States those ordinarv duties of maintaining public order in the state of Nevada which rest upon the state government. As the legislature of Nevada has not been convened I am bound to assume that the powers already vested in the peace officers of the state are adeo.uate and that if they choose to do so they can maintain order themselves. Under these circumstances, unless there be forthwith further cause shown to justify keeping the troops at Goldfield, I shall direct that thev shall return to their former stations "THEODORE ROOSEVELT."

C. This intensely interesting chapter in the story of the trusts is of vital importance to every American citizen. C It establishes the fact that "there never would have been a trust if it had not been for the corporation lawyers.11 C It reveals the identity of these fighting jurists, whose brilliance and cunning and strategic skill protect the trusts from dissolution. C It describes their notable battles in defence of the trusts, and tells of scenes in which they were the leading actors "as dramatic as yet have been staged." C And it discloses the enormous fees they receive and the unlimited power which they possess. C. This strong, straight - from - the - shoulder article, by James French Dorrance, is the opening gun of a series on the birth, building and defending of the trusts to appear in the New Broadway during 1908. Every article in the series will handle the subject in detail and present astonishing inside facts never before published. C Don't miss the opening article in the New Broadway for January.
