HUMAN THINKING MACHINE A SUICIDE
Krewer Developed Mind at t—lf;——Expcnse of Emotion.
His Brain Presented to Medical Association.
CHICAGO, Ill.—Physicians have
decided to present the brain of Prof.
Joseph W. Krewer, a suicide, to the
American Medical Association- as a
type of the man of 2008—the human
thinking machine.
The decision was reached follow
ing a clinic in which leading medical
men of Cook county participated.
They met to study the brain of the
man which higher education had de
veloped at the expense of his heart.
They conceded that Prof. Krewer’s
hrain was a marvelous mechanism,
the triumphant product of years of
study and culture in the great uni
versities of KEurope and America.
But they contended that as his mind
expanded his heart shrank and his
soul shriveled until he attained the
stage of an omniscient character—
loveless, feelingless, expressionless,
fearless—and useless.
He was loveless because he did
not want to see his own mother. He
did not hate her. He simply ignored
her. The fact that he had once
suckled at her breast was nothing to
him. She was ignorant. She could
teach him nothing. Therefore, he
didn't want to be annoyed by her.
Was Barren of Emotion.
He was without feeling because
he expressed no emotion. No human
being had interest for him. He was
never known to uttter an expression
of p]o_asm'e, of pain, of interest in
anything save mental development.
He was fearless in the manner he
chose of seeking death. Pr. -€.
Pruyn Stringfield, who first was
called when Krewer's body was dis
(f)\'vroil at the Grand Pacific Hotel,
says Krewer made a brain study of
death even while in the throes of it.
He was useless because he felt
?hm-v was nothing more on earth for
him to learn,
He had learned for the priesthood,
4nd then rejected religion. He had
mastered ten languages. He was a
marvelous lawyer, a finished physi
‘lan, learned in the fine arts, an
authority on astrology, meterology,
hotany anqg history.
Parents Poor.
Krewer's father is a laborer. His
mother is a simple-minded, everyday
lousewife. His brothers work w‘t.h
their hands. His whole family is
Plain. He was born in Chicago 41
vears ago. At the time of his boy
hood his father planned to place him
in g sawmill. :
But the boy expressed a desire,
nourished by his mother, to enter
the priesihood. He went to Europe,
Was educated at Sarbonne with high
honors, but renounced all religion
4t the very hour he was to have been
Ordained. He took degrees at the
Academic de Besanoin, France.
He then launched into a career of
individual research, serving as tutor
10 the sons of Marshall Field, Jr.,
and sons of other Chicagoans of
Wealth at the university school.
Later he taught at the Flexner
sthool angq the University school at
Louisville. He often said that teach-
U 8 was a drudge and that he only
“oZht that he might live and in
“Ulge in his appetite for study.
Grim Method of Suicide.
Krewer's method of seeking death
Vas awful in itg grim certainty. He
Yeut to the Grand Pacific Hotel Tues
‘4y evening. He had $2,100 in his
Ockets. He paid for his room in ad-
Vance, He had no baggage. He
went to hig room, doubled locked the
loor, closed the transom, closed and
“¢ked all windows, and drew the
ilinds tight, He then turned on all
the lightg in the room.
He had two bottles of chloroform,
2 hottle of carbolic acid and a pack
‘B¢ of rat pojson. He took six
dunces of carbolie acid, part of the
'"t Doison and emptied one bottle
of the chloroform. He also slashed
als left wrist,
Eighteen hours later his body was
found. Whep Dr. Stringfield en
tered the room he saw the body on
the bed in semi-sitting position. The
fingers of the left hand were touch
ing the pulse of the right wrist. The
right hand was over the heart. The
fyes were open, the face intense. It
was apparent that Krewer's brain
dominated to the last, seeking to
solve the mystery of death, to an
alyze the last heart beat, to detect
the final pulse throb.
THE PROBLEM IN ILLINOIS.
Race Question Being Rapidly Trans
ferred to the North.
The negroes of Alton, 111., do not
want public schools for their chil
dren that are just as good as the
schools that are provided for the
white children. What they desire
and demand is the right for their
children to attend the white schools.
Apparently they eare less for educa
tional advantages than they do for
the privilege of their children to
rub elbows with white children. The
city of Alton has provided two ex
cellent schools for negro children,
but black mothers have besieged the
white schools during the past few
days for admission for their chil
dren. The demand is not so much
for school facilities as for a mixing
of the races. Illinois seems to be
having a hard time with her race
problem.
CALLED THEM TO MANSION AND
PLEADED FOR END OF EXTRA SESSION
Governor Feared Grave Political Con
sequences Would Result If
the Squabble Continued.
Faced by a four weeks’ extra ses
sion of the legislature without result,
Governor Smith had the principal
leaders of all the contending legis
lative factions to meet him at the
mansion at night for the purpose of
trying to reach an agreement. The
party met in front of the Aragomn
hotel and went to the executive man
sion on time. They remained until
nearly midnight, discussing the con
vict measures proposed and disposed.
He pleaded with them to come to an
understanding, pass a bill and ad

|NE\\' YORK STATE ENTHUSIAS.
‘ TICALLY RECEIVED BRYAN.
IHu;:(- Crowds Gave Democracy's
Leader Ovation After Ovation.
He and Judge Parker Ex
changed Felicitations.
l ROCHESTER N, Y& A speech
lby William J. Bryan, democratic can
!didate for president, in this city to
ynigat on “Mr. Taft and His Scares”
!and two overflow talks formed the
lclimax of an eventful day in the pres
ient campaign. Arriving here shortly
iafter 6 o’clock, and met by thousands
lof persons, democracy’s leader was
Eaccorded an ovation. Along with
‘him from Syracuse came the new
;democratic nominee for governor of
| New York, Lewis Stuyvesant Chan
ller.
| Among those at the station here to
fmeet him were National Chairman
i Mack, William J. Conners, chairman
jof the democratic state committee:
i Charles F. Murphy, the Tammany
' chieftain, and Raniel Cohalon. On
| Mr. Bryan’s arrival the party was
|taken in an automobile to the Gene
{see Valley Country Club for dinner.
l The principal speech tonight was
\in Convention Hall, where the denio
{cratic state convention finished. its
Ilabors today and which was packed
;to the doors, with several thousands
{on the outside unable to gain ad
{mittance. Mr. Bryan was accorded
'a great demonstration by his audi
“ence. among whom were the demo-
Icratic leaders of the state and most
|of the delegates to the convention.
Cheered Parker and Bryan.
Presiding over the convention hall
assemblage was Judge Alton B. Par
ker, the presidential candidate of
four years ago, who took advantage
of the occasion to make personal
pledge of his earnest fealty to the
national ticket. As Mr. Bryan and
Judge Parker stood side by side be
fore the great assemblage the cheer
ing welled up in a deafening roar.
Mr. Bryan acknowledged Judge Par
ker’s pledge of his own support and
the support of the “‘united democracy
of the Kmpire state.”’
Judge Parker said:
“The united democracy of the state
of New York joins heartily with the
people of Rochester in bidding wel
come to our guest of honor, and we
pledge him our earnest support until
victory comes.”
“It is worth coming a long way,”
said Mr. Bryan, ‘‘to participate in
the closing hours of a great conven
tion in this country’s greatest state.
I appreciate Judge Parker’s cor
dial words in presenting me to vou.
I appreciate the pledge he has given
and especially do I appreciate his
own earnest part in the fulfillment
of that pledge.
“I am gratified that the great con
vention which closed today placed at
the head of its ticket one so worthy
to carry the party’'s standard in this
state.
‘I appreciate the spirit of harmony
that prevailed in this convention.
All metals, my friends, fuse at some
heat and so there comes a degree of
enthusiasm which welds us all to
gether in a common cause. Every
where throughout this broad country
of ours the democrats are getting
together to get control of the gov
ernment.”” The Nebraskan then
plunged into his set speech.
The governor was anxious that the
legislature complete its work at
once, and he evidently feared the
political consequences of a further
continuance of the squabble which
has already cost nearly $40,000.
It is reported that he ceased all
talk of vetoing a bill if it did not
meet with his views on important
features of proposed convict legisla
tion, and was only anxious that the
work be finished and the expense
stopped.
When blandly informed by a lead
er of the house majority that unless
something was done during the week
nothing would be accomplished he de
clared that this would never do, and
grompt]y urged the leaders to visit
im.
next six months at least, and per
haps for a year.
Scarcity of hogs and cattle and
the high prices of corn are given as
the cause. Farmers are getting 80
cents a bushel for corn, and it does
not pay to feed it. Bacon is now
selling at retail here for 27 cents
to 30 cents a pound, the same price
as porterhouse steaks.

MAKING STIRRING SPEECHES
Jim Griggs Is Busy for Bryan and
Brown in the Second Congres
sional District.
Congressman Jim Griggs came in
Friday from a week’s campaign in
the Second congressional district in
the interest of Bryan and Brown, and
remained two or three days with his
family in Dawson.
He will speak in every county in
the Second district in behalf of the
democratic nominees. Last week he
spoke at Sylvester, Georgetown, Ash
burn and Tifton. Monday of this
week he spoke at the Worth county
fair and yesterday at Fort Gaines.
Today he will speak at Camilla, and
Saturday at Colquitt.
The Tifton Speech.
A Tifton dispatch says the rally
there was largely attended.
In his speech Judge Griggs insisted
that the people of Georgia are mor
ally and truly bound to support every
candidate elected in the primary on
June 4th., and equally so to vote
for the democratic nominee for pres
ident.
Throughout his speech when he re
ferred to the nominees of the demo
cratic party a responsive applause
was given, signifying that Tift coun
ty regards her obligation as sacred
and the June primary will be recog
nized as the drinking fountain in Oc
tober and November elections.
The remainder of the speech was
given to the tariff question—where
it came form, who it affected for
good and who bore its burden.
Mr. Griggs, in referring to candi
dates of other parties, was compli
mentary, and the mud will have to
be brought into the campaign by
them, if there is any.
They Take the Kinks Out.
“I have used Dr. King’s New Life

satisfaction. They take the kinks
out of stomach, liver and bhowels,
without fuss or friction,” says N. H.,
