"Zeb" Harshner, counterfeiter, who
' hag spent nearly 21 of his 65 years of
life, in prison, frill serve at least
, seven more years of his expectea mor
tality behind tbe bars.
That wtis the term at the govern
ment penitentiary at McNeil island
Riven frfarshner yesterday by Judge
uuK.111 in united states district court.
Harshner pleaded guilty, and tried
10 tstuem j. s. Stevens, 40, who was
sentenced to six years at the island.
inu nooeri tsaKer, 30, who received 10
days In Jail.
IlarshneK, Stevens and Baker were
arrested at Marshfleld by William
plover. United States secret service
agent. In the house where Harshner
lived, and which , was rented for him
by Stevens, were found more than 50
counterfeit half and $0 pieces.
Plaster Moulds 'Found.
The fives were not plated. nd the
counterfeiting outfit was short -only
the materials for plating.
. Glover found that Stevens had
bought old type-metal; at which the
bogus coins were made, from a Marsh
- field prftiting office. A nox of antl-
mony had been secured from a Portland
wholesale drug' house. There were
nearly 100 plaster moulds.
Baker was not charged with counter
feiting, but with having had knowledge
of a felony and having failed and re
fused to disclose that knowledge to
government officials. He was given a
severe lecture by Judge Rudkln.
Glover found that Baker had been
acquainted with Harshner and Stevens
for about aweek before their arrest,
and that he had passed one of the
counterfeit halves at-a Marshfleld sa
loon. -
Serves Two Sentences.
Harshner already has served two sen
tences, one of 10 months and one of
eight years,' for counterfeiting. He
served 12 years at Salem for complic
ity in a train robbery near Troutoale
with what was known jas the "Bill"
Minor gang. - . ' JijijJ
Steven, served a sentence at Sale-iv
for cattle stealingPin Klamath county,
" and the theory of federal officials is
that he . and Ilarshner became ac
quainted there, and that his knowledge
of Harshner's ability as a counterfeiter
' led him to send for Harshner to en
gage in the "business" at Marshfleld..
. Evidence was introduced to f-how
that Harshner und Stevens intended to
pass their wares at the "an Francisco
talr.
Stevens served a sentence at Co
quille for bootlegging shortly before
his arrest at Marshfleld by Glovei. "
-Bullet in Brain Is
Not Bothering Her
Hew , Jersey Woman Quits Hospital
' and Doctor Says She Can Have X.ead
Semoved :rter On.
Montclalr, N. J., March 20. Mrs.
sAnna Hutchlns, whose husband shot
her five times last January 14 and
-4hen shot and killed himself, left the
Mountainside hospital- with a bullet
Still Imbedded in her brain and another
In her lett arm.
Nevertheless Dr. Joseph Bellas,
house physician at the hospital, said
that Mrs. Hutchlns would not be
tribled by either bullet. The one in
her arm will be removed when sbe ia
stronger, and the physician said na
ture would heal the wound in the
brain. Any attempt to remove the
bullet, he said, probably would result
In Mrs. Hutchlns'- death.
The only, tit effect of the wounds
are a slight Impediment in. speech and
weakness in the right side due to the
destruction of nerve centers by the
ball In the brain.
The shooting of Mrs. Hutchlns was
the culmination of married discord
that has existed for a year, and Hutch
lns had left home twice.

is told in tbese pictures more force
fully than i mre words can tell. The
artist' 3 aim for simplicity is 'depleted
in no unmistakable manner.
The portrait "Little Irish Girl." by
RoberL Hehri, Is among the most in
terest ng of all the pictures, both because-
Mr. Henri is so well known and
on account f the wonderful simplic
ity arid directness of his handling of
the subject. Mr. Henri is intensely
interested in modern life, his aim Is
to paint In the 'most direqt manner
possible and from the standpoint of
the people! rather than from the stand
point of the (artist. In the picture dis
playejl is painted with the fewest pos

WASHINGTON BfREAtJ
JUUB.NAU.)
Washington, March 20. The iRepub
llcan nominee for president will be
1 Justices Charles E. Hughes pf the
United States supreme court, the man,
one of the few who ever did jit, who
refused the nomination last time. j
There's a prediction that will beat
watching. The former New York
governor, who accepted Taft's tendet
of a place among the Judicial mighty
and 'then refused to be a candidate
against bim when .lt seemed certain
he could have the nomination for the
taking, is on the cards of the men
who will control the next nomination.
Not on the cards that lie n the
table, perhaps,' but on the cards, that
linger up the sleeves of the managers.
You don't hear much about j Justice
Hughes at this time and' probajbly you
won't for a long time, not 4s long,
indeed, as the managers can keep
their cards where they - are. What
you hear is: Burton. Herrlckj Willis.
Faibanks, Weeks, Borah, Mann Before
the fall of next year you'll hear con
siderable about several others, jmost of
them "favorite sons.'

is not
because this bright young ex-ctngress-men
of ill-smelling mulhall connec
tion, takes his candidacy- seriously
though he may believe he can defeat
his wooden competitor for the Indiana
votes., There is reason to believe
Watson knows what the projrram is,
knows that he not only cannot be
selected, but cannot be nominated, and
he is playing the game for the Re
publican managers. It would be
strange If he did not in view of the
degree to which he has beenj on tlia

be held up against Him that fie never
has taken the American peopJe very
seriously, on the other hand it cannot
be charged that he has taken him

So It is safe to assume that Watson
knows what schedule has been ar

the three may or may not consider hid
prospects real; the managers do n6t.
So it is with "Weeks in Massachusetts,
Mann in Illinois, Borah of the West,
and the others to be brought forward
in due time. The managers want all
the favorite sons, with instructed
delegations, possible; they don't want
a really formidable Taft revival ori a

in size, to get under way. Above all
they don't want any candidate to ac

Hughes should be reasonably easy j to

And the funny thing about It all fs
that the managers don't wanjt Hughes
because they like him or bis ways;
they want him solely becajuse they
think he can win. With all their talk
of returning conservatism and of
Democratic disintegration, n . their
hearts they realize that a car.didate to

Barnes of Hughes' own state, who find
It Impossible to like Hughes for his
