If'OI KllI OFFENSE JAILS
HOOTLEGGER FOR LIFE
IN STATE OF MICHIGAN
IONIA, Mich.—Less than 45 hours
’after his arrest. Alonzo Noyes, 54
?years old, a Sebewn township farmer,
lpleaded guilty today and was sen
tenced to spend the remainder of his
*life in Jackson state prison as an ha
bitual criminal.
Arraigned before Judge Royal A.
■'Hawley in circuit court this after
noon. Noyes was charged with violat
ing the state prohibition laws, his
■fourth felony. He entered a plea of
guilty on each of the four crimes list
<-id in the information read to him by
Prosecutor Frank C. Miller. Miller
1 re-read the charges to familiarize
Noyes with the gravity , of the situa
tion, following which Noyes unhesi
tatingly admitted the offenses.
Noyes was arrested Sunday after
noon at his farm home by Deputy
‘Sherics Charles Hopkins, W. O.
•Sprague, Ed Good and Ermal Gar
Jlinger, who confiscated about 10 gal
lons of whisky and bottling parapher
nalia, in addition to a small quantity
'of beer. His place was raided follow
ing boasts he had made that he would
‘“shoot his way through” if officers
'ever approached his place.
A Goaded 83-caliber army revolver
"' was found underneath the pillow of
i His bed. beside which lay a box of
•cartridges. It was the first time the
I habitual criminal clause of Michigan
•criminal code has been proven in
local court. Reviewing Noyes previ
ous criminal record, Judge Hawley
< deplored his apparent disrespect of
laws and his excessive use of intoxi
cating liquors. He stated the maxi
4 mum term was mandatory in his case.
Noyes merely smiled after hearing
• sentence pronounced, and Sheriff Wm.
'Franch returned him to the county
j jail . The prisoner is unmarried and
igave his trade as a butcher.
The first sentence for Noyes was
1 four years’ imprisonment at the Mich
igan reformatory here, February 4,
1896, from Clinton county for grand
1 larceny. He was convicted of bur
: glary in Eaton, county January 6,
1903, and sent to Jackson prison for
1 two years. He was convicted of the
same crime in the same eountp Oc
tober 28, 1905, but this time was j
vvas given five to fifteen years at,
Jackson. Of this he served twelve
Jyears, he told Sheriff Fnnch, follow
ing his arrest.
Last December an attempt was
made to charge Clyde McCoy, 25
years old, an escaped convict from
^Michigan reformatory, with his
fourth offense, but discrepncies in
3 records of previous alleged felonies
’were discovered and Judge Hawley
J reduced his crime to that of third of
ffense, to which McCoy pleaded guilty
and was sentenced to Marquette for
five years. This was the only time
before today that the habitual crim
inal clause conviction had been
brought to here.
FOOD SURROUNDED, BOXCAR
TRAVELER NEARLY STARVED
- i
MILWAUK E E.—Edward Connelly,
a chef, .18 years old, was surrounded
by food for seven days and yet nearly
starved to death.
Connelly found himself locked in a
boxcar .which was shunted to a lonely
siding. The car was loaded with
boxes of canned food packed high all
around him, when his pounding on the
door finally brought release.
He explained that he feared to
break into the food because it might
be thought h ewas stealing, and wh>n
hunger finally drove him to consider,
getting into the'food he lost his knife j
and could not open the boxes.
Patriotism Not Vanity.
Miss Anne Morgan, philanthropist
and reformer, said in a Y. W. C. A. j
address on patriotism in Atlantic!
City:
“Patriotism doesn’t mean bragging
and vanity, though some patriots
seem to think it does. I often say
that it is as bajj for a patriot to be
vain about his country as it is for a
woman to be vain about her charms.
“Yes, that kind of patriotism is as
bad as Mrs. Exe. Her husband, on a
visit down here by the sea, watched
her primping before the glass one
day, and at the end of an hour he!
said:
“ ‘Heavens and earth, how vain you
are!’
“Without taking her eyes off her
reflection in the glass, Mrs. Exe an
swered :
“‘Indeed, I’m not vain! I don’t!
think I’m half as lovely as I really
am!’ ”
Luck.
William Allen White, the famous ,
Emporia editor, said of a novelist
who had started a country weekly:
“The poor fellow’s books don’t seU
and his income is small, but if he
hopes to get rich off a country week- j
ly—”
Mr. White lifted up his arms in a!
despairing gesture.
“A country weekly editor,” he said,! ,
“came home to supper one night, ra- ,
diant. I
“ ‘You’ve had some good luck,
haven’t you?’ his wife said, as she
helped him to mush, the piece de re- '
sistance that evening. I
“ ‘Good luck!’ And the editor j
laughed for joy. ‘I should say I j
have had good luck! Elder Elder- j
berry, who hasn’t paid his subscrip- ;
tion for sixteen years, came in and
stopped his paper!”’

The Easiest Way.
President Lawrence Lowell of
Harvard was condemning at a dinner
in New York a novelist who by means
of blatam press agent stunts had
won popularity and wealth.
“The easiest way,” said Dr. Lowell,
“isn’t always the nbblest way. A
preacher gazed at a young millionaire
manufacturer and said:
•“He began as a bobbin boy, I sup
pose, ami worked his way up step by
step.’
“ ‘Not at all,’ another preacher an
swered- ‘He began as a football star
and married the boss’ daughter.’ ”
