CLAUDE TRIED
TO DECIEYE
THE OFFICER
HE ALSO SWIPED A BALL GIX)VE
AXD BUTTED INTO THE KIDS'
BALL GAME, BUT HE WON'T
DO EITHER AGAIN FOR 30
DAYS.
Claud Shlmer is 25 years old, and
this morning became the guest of
Marion county, at the invitation of
City Recorder Elgin, acting In the ea
paclty of a justice of the peace.
Claude will be 30 days older than he
is now when he takes his feet from
under the county's table, m to speak,
and again takes up the struggle with
the problem of the high cost of liv
ing, without county assistance. Sat
urday afternoon Claude saw a num
ber of the future big men of Salem,
but nqw only from 12 bo 14 years
old, engaged In a game of "catch."
Claude was lonesome, and his
thoughts carried him back over the
few but weary years when he was a
kldlet, as free -from care as the va
grant breezes of spring, or anything
else in that class. He asked permis
sion to Join in the game, which the
kids at once, granted, having the
true Salem spirit about giving; the
stranger a .chance.. In the course of
the play, Claude's hands being- ten
der, presumably from hand-blistering
work, was loaned a ball glove. It is
unnecessary to Bp into the vicissl
tildes of th egame that part of It
being Immaterial but at its- end,
Claude retaiined possession of the
glove, and refused to deliver it to his
playfellows. Possesison being nine
points in the law, and Claude being
too big for them to tackle, one of
them, John Bayne, probably led
thereto by the. name, referred the
matter to the law, In the person of
Officer Burkhardt, who at once inter
viewed Claude, and demanded the
glove. Claudle denied having it, but
a search of his lodging brought it to
light, and the charge of laroeny was
lodged against him, while he was
lodged In jail. This morning Claudle
pleaded guilty and was given SO days
as aforesaid. It seems Ilka a long
time to serve for so small a thing aa
a glove, but, as the poet says:
Think naught a trifle though It small
appear.
Sands make the monutalns, moments
make the year,
And trifles life."
Judge Elgin, In pausing sentence.
said he wnuld be more lenient, had
it not been that Claudle tried to de
ceive Officer Burkhardt. Swiping the
glove was a minor matter, but said
the Judge (or if he didn't he ought
to): "Anyone who can look Into the
truthful and Innocent eyes of Officer
Burkhardt, who can gaze upon that
classic countenance, beaming with
bmtherly love, and slopping over
with the milk of human kindness
who can bask In the rays of that be
nign and child-like smile, and then
deliberately tell a He In an attempt
to deceive bim, deserves the limit.
Claudle you are out at the bone plate
for 30 days without grace.' That's

San Antonio, Tex., March 20.
Believing that Mexican Finance Min

American ultimatum on which the
Invasion of Mexico depends, army
commanders here today are eagerly
awaiting for the result of Llman
tour'a conference with President
Diaz and Madero's lieutenants In
Mexico City.
Believing that Intervention In the
Mexican trouble is certain, unless
Washington's demands, as voiced by
Llmantiour, are granted, army pfflcera
today are continuing their plans for
invasion. It Is pointed out that the
mobilization of our marines and
transports at Guantanamo is proof
that Vera Cruz has been selected as
the initial point of attack.
- In line with this view is the fact
that Galvestpn coast artillerymen are
being drilled for field duty. Further
evidence that a quick move to Mex
ico is believed probable Is seen In the
fact that a traini of 13 Pullmans and
50 stock cars, with the whole pontoon
equipment of the) army are in readi
ness for instant use. The train is
being held on a clear track, so that
it may run out of the yards here on
