tof the Municipal Court. Tie talked it
over with Coiincllmcn before tha "enter

fcondumn the Magdalen Home property

In Council.
Senator MeXicliot thinks tho land grab

most worthv objects ever conceived." He
biild so himself In an Interview. Senator
Siu.Vlclwl can look out tho roar windows
or his home on Logan Square and see
the proposed site for the Municipal Coutt.
A houc on Knee street, neld in his
wl'i's name, faces the property. Ileal
e5t.Uc men say that if the grab goes
thiough the value of all nearby property
will he greatly enhanced.
There Is no doubt that Senator Mc
TCichol has been in the confidence of
persons uho jammed through the "en
tcrlnt? wedge." as Fred C. Simon, the
executive clerk of the Municipal Court,
calls it. The "enterli'g wedge" was ths
condemnation of the cornor plot at 21st

It was said on good authority today
that Judge Brown had gone to McNIehol I

as they originated. McNichol denies I
this however, and Judge Brown hits an

Mrs. Ilichardson mentioned casually
that Judge Brown had talked with Sen

for tho new Detention House. Ptintoi
McN'lehol dented It vlgoiously.
It was while telling how she came to
think of the Magdalen Home site that
Mrs. Ulchatdson bi ought In Senator Mr

"And then," ald Mrs. Richardson,
with a deprecatory smile, "Judge Brown

"Oil, I don't know wlint she wanted to

Senator McNIchol was found In hN

He was" asked If he had given immediate
approval of the Municipal Court plain
when Judge Blown came to see him.
"Judge Btoun and 1 neer talked about

The vocabulury of Joseph Marshall, an

able uneasiness this morning. Mnrahall,
who was accused of getting n bottle of
mi'k and a loaf of brend under sus
picious circumstances, was finally dis
charged so that the court at the Fif
teenth and Vine streets station could get
under way.
"I was flzzastlcatcd, judge," said Mar
shall In the course of an unduly ex
tended speech. "If I misappropriated
tho provisions, the annexation was at
tributable to temporary aberration of tho
Intellect."
Asked to explain what ho meant by
"fizzusticated" Marshall looked dubious
for a moment, so did tho policemen
who were attracted by his (low of "lung

said Marshall. "X was sort o" dozing

"I finally aroused myself and found
that somehow I had become Inadvcrtenty

explanation." Hut this Is us far ns
Marshall got. "You 'can continue that

Magistrate Tracy. "You better go homo

COLUMI1US, O., Sept. ?J. "Tho mu
tual attlnitlcs of whisky and crooked
politics" wns tho keynote of the address
lu which Theodore Roosevelt opened tho
Progressive campaign In Ohio here last
night. He urged the election of James
It. Oarlleld for Governor and A. L. Gar
ford for United States Senator, on their
prohibition platform.
"Whisky and crooked politics unques
tionably have strong mutual affinities,"
said Colonel Roosevelt, "and it is untural
thnt evcrywhete the liquor forces should
line up against the Progressive party,
sometimes behind one, and sometimes
behind tho other, of the old parties."
He took a strong stand against the pro
posed amendment to tho State Constitu
tion which will ho offered to tho voters
of Ohio thiB fall In on effort to make
tho entire state "wet."
"In the State this year tho contest has
been precipitated by the llipior men,"
hij said, "who have forced before tho
voters an amendment, which' If success
ful, would mean the abolition of all ef
fective control over the liquor trnfflcand
the abdication by tho Stato of all power
to minimize tho damage It does."
Colonel Roosevelt said thut the Demo
cratlc party lu Ohio Is either overtly or
covertly supporting tho "wet" amend
ment, and that the Republican ptrty is
dodging the Issue. Ho also assailed the
tariff policies of tho Republican and
Democratic parties. Under tho ilcpubll
tan tariff, ho said, a few men prosper
too much, while under tha Democratic
toiiff no one prospers. He Indorsed thu
election of a tariff commission of ex-perts.
