DECISION OF HIGHEST COURT
Justice Tempered With Mercy,
Declares Judge In Sentencing
Woman Accused of Murder.
OLYMPIA, WJUBEL, Au* SO -Th*
Supreme Court has affirmed the eon
vlction of Linda Burfleld Ha**ard,
hunger specialist, on a charge of man
•laughter after the death of Claire
Williamson, an Englishwoman who
took the starvation cure at the Has-
aard sanitarium at Olaila, In Kitsap
County
Overruling the defendant on each of
the twelve points raised tn the ap
peal, the Washington Supreme Court
anrxrunoed that the lower tribunal
bad "tempered Justice with mitrejT In
fixing Mrs Has*ard'» sentence at
from five to twenty years in prison.
The HaswLrd case was one of the
mo«t notable In criminal Jurispru
dence. Throughout the trial and since
her case has been on appeal to the
Supreme Court Mrs. Hoasard has
been regarded by her friends us ths
fourxter of a new sohool for the treat
ment of disease The sanitarium at
Olaila has thrived, and Mrs Hansard
has not lacked for patients anxious
and wilting to undergo the terrible
or del erf the hunger cure.
Csueed Quest Proteet.
The death of Miss Williamson
aroused a storm of protest against
the cure, Mrs. Hazsard was charged
with first degree murder, and the Jury
found her rullty of manslaughter In
February, 1611. She appealed to the
Supreme Court, setting forth that the
lower tribunal had erred on twelve
points.
To refute the expert testimony of
the doctors who testified that a fast
fuich as Claire Williamson was sub
jected to must be fatal, Mr*. Has sard
announced that she would fast her
self. Subsequently she placed herself
at the disposal of a oommittee of doc
tors, but the medical men declined to
take i*art in the demonstration, and
Mrs. Hazsard undertook her fast un
der the scrutiny of a oommittee of
her own choosing.
Fasted M Day*.
She announced after 55 day* that
she had refrained from taking food
during that period. She had fallen In
weight from 135 pounds to 111 pounds,
but appeared to be In excellent health.
Mrs. Harvard contended that her own
fast proved that the expert medical
testimony given at her trial had been
successfully refuted.
Although under sentence, Mr*. Kat-
zard continued to practice her system
of treating disease The murder trial
had given her widespread publicity,
and hundreds of i>erson* wrote her
even* week inquiring about the bun
ger cure.

KT. PAUL, Aug. 30.—Application In

j H. Harold Nielson, of Chicago.
A yearning for Chicago, where, the

J poem.
Some of the verse* evidently ths
culmination of the poetical outburst,
which the author had underscored,
follow:
This morning, when I heard the bell
In my dreary cell,
I was thinking of the day 1 am to go
To dear old Shlc-ca-go.
I am now but twenty years.
Have never touched one or two beers.
Have never smoked a cigarette,
I am my parents' only pet.
I am thlaklng of a man who has a
heart.
And that Is Governor EJberhart,
Wondering If he would please give me
my release
Or let me suffer behind the bars to
•queese.
AU I pray for Is but a chance
To show that I can fit the law's pent*.
I want to be In the State of Illinois,
That is where I was raised when but
a boy
Unless other prisons r s object, it
was stated, Nielson's efforts will be
printed In the reformatory paper.

other shall have; share and share

But little towns In Germany do not

ute to the support of the Grass par
ents by seeking his fortuns In the
New World.
When Alois Grass left, he and his
brother agreed that affection and the
old compact should exist unchanged
Should either one be beset by bad
luck or Illness, all the other had was
to be his ns he needed. In particu
lar, after they had married and got
families, should one die, the other
whs to give assistance and’keep wid

Alois reached the wonderful New
World and after several years of
knocking abou settled nciar Belleville.
He married and managed to buy a

Denver to Enjoy Fruits of
Her Ventures.
DENVER Aug. 30.—Mrs. Lena Stol-
ber-Reed, the most successful woman
mining operator In the world, has quit
this city to make her home In Europe
and enjoy the million she has made
in mining.
Bhe is credited with “cleaning up"
a fortune from the celebrated Silver
Lakes group of mines In the San Juan
field, Western Colorado. Her first
husband had turned to this field when
the gold excitement was at Its height
there about twenty years ago. In
order to “help out” his wife kept
boarders, and when the group of pros
pects was secured, assisted In the
active work of development. She soon
became a familiarfigure In the West
ern mining world.
She thought nothing of donning
miner’s attire and working with the
men In the mine* when she deemed It
necessary to assist Mr. Stober In
overseeing the work personally. The
mines were located In a high and
almost inaccessible part of the San
Juan Mountains.
After she had made a big fortune
at mining. Mrs. Stoiber turned to
Denver, where she made a social con
quest of the Colorado capital. Mr.
Stoiber died and a few years ago his
widow married Hugh Reed, a Pacific
<'oast capitalist. Mr. Reed went down
with the Titanic
Another succe.‘*sful mining operator
is Miss O. L. Granfleld, a slender,
dark-eyed young woman, who lives at
one of the big hotels in Colorado
Springs, and who would be taken for
a society woman intent on nothing
but pleasure rather than president of
one of the biggest mines in Cripple

Ye Ancient Eggs
Taste Extra Fine
Swiss Poultry Ranchers Preserve
Product for Nine Months With
New Preparation.
WASHINGTON, Aug 30.—What Is
believed to be a satisfactory agent for
the proper preservation- of eggs has
been brought to the attention of the
Agricultural Department . through Con
sul General Mansfield at Zurich. The
new preservative is called “Ovo Con
servator” and consist of a prepared
liquid of adhesive character the ingre
dients of which may be easily and
cheaply obtained.
It is claimed the new method will
preserve the egg for nine months with
out appreciable injury to its freshness,
weight, transparency, appearance, smell
or taste.
FOR UNSKILLED
Appeals for Men and Women Is
Made From Every State to
Immigration Officials
From every State in the Union,
from every city and hamlet, an ap
peal has been raised to the immigra
tion officials of the country for un
skilled labor. According to a relia
ble expert estimate Just made, 1,000,-
000 immigrants could be brought Into
the United States within the next six
months and the demand could scarce
ly be met.
The coal and coke fields*of Penn
sylvania. Ohio, West Virginia and
Indiana alone could give employment
to from 75,000 to 100,000 additional
men. Joseph P. Dowling, inspector
of the United States Department of
Labor, declares that laborers are
scarcer to-day in th e United States
than ever before In history.
In spite of the increase in the num
ber of immigrants during 1913, almost
twice as many could find employment
at wages ranging from 20 to 40 cents
per hour.
Mines Are Short Handed.
In Houghton, Michigan, and all
through the Lake Superior mining
district, operations are being delayed
for want of miners. From Jackson
ville, Fla., comes the loudest wall. All
the native negroes have come North,
attracted by high wages, and now
Jacksonville has been forced to im
port negroes from South Carolina and
Italians to complete work that has
already been started.
Not only are men wanted in Ameri
ca, but women, foo. At Reading and
York, Pa., hundreds of women immi
grants would be welcomed to work
in the textile mills and cigar fac
tories, while Providence, R. I., New
Bedford and Fall River are also ap
pealing for women to work In the
textile mills. Throughout the coun
try, from coast to coast, thousands
of women could find employment at
attractive wages as domestic serv
ants.
The famous Pittsburg district and
the farmers of Kansas, Iowa and
Texas are probably most seriously af
fected by the shortage of unskilled
labor. The iron and steel mills of
Pittsburg want 10,000 men, while an
other 10,000 are needed In Pittsburg
proper on building operations. The
output of the Connellsvllle cok* fields
hafc been reduced 25 per cent The
coal mines about Pittsburg .are run
ning 50 per cent short.
Farmers Need Thousands.
In West Virginia and Virginia the
coal mines are running half time sa
a result of insufficient labor, while
the same condition prevails In the
Ohio coal mines.
Harvesting the enormous crops in
Kansas and adjoining States Is being
seriously interfered with. Kansas
« alls in vain for 26,000 men. Arizona*
too, wants farm hands, and even Del
aware has sent an urgent appeal for
men to work in the harvest fields.
The railroads are In almost as s«H-
ous a predicament a* the farmera
The enormous crops and the work
required to move them, the extensive
Improvements being made by rail
roads throughout the country and the
damage done by floods In the Middle
West, all have been factors. But prob
ably more Important than all has
been the generally Improved busi
ness conditions which have made
places for every unemployed man and
woman.

THE RECORD
By special ardor of the Secretary of War an offi
cer of the United States Army is to be detailed for
service at Riverside Military Academy.
The approval for this detail follows speedily
the recommendation of Major B. F. Hardaway, Sev*-
enteenth Infantry, stationed at Fort . McPherson,
who made the inspection by special order of the War
Department early In July.
This detail carries with it the complete equip
ment of modem rifles, dress and service accouter
ments, haversacks, canteens and mess equipment as
used by the United States Army.
Also artillery and cavalry equipment for dis
mounted service.
The uniforms of the Riverside cadets arc identi
cal with those of the West Point cadets, and are fit
ted to the figure of each cadet by military tailors at
Riverside Military Academy. In this respect. River
side stands alone among the Southern preparatory
schools.
THE RECOMMENDATION
In July of this year a request was made upon the War De
partment for an army officer to be detailed for service with the
Riverside cadets.
Copies of the current catalogue and a complete description
of the campus, location, surroundings, physical equipment and
faculty were furnished.
This so impressed the War Department that notwithstanding
the annual inspection of academies and schools applying for such
recognition is made only in April, a SPECIAL INSPECTION was
ordered immediately, and Major Hardaway was detailed for this
service.
lie was so impressed with the location of Riverside, two miles
out of Gainesville—connected by trolley—in the foothills of the
Blue Ridge Mountains, on the banks of the Chattahoochee River,
with Lake Warner on its 2,000-acre campus, that he wrote in
strong praise of its magnificent natural advantages and wonder-
ful possibilities.
He was greatly impressed with the opportunities afforded for
indoor gallery practice, long range sharpshooting adjacent to the
school, the maneuvering grounds, bridge building, pontoon work,
swimming, boating and other arts of modern warfare, all on or at
the campus.
The physical equipment, with its well lighted, perfectly ven
tilated and modemlv equipped barracks, mess hall, class rooms
and gymnasium, so enthused him that his comments on these fea
tures in his report caused the War Department to take immediate
action and announce the approval and detail.
THE REASON
Riverside possesses all the requisites of an ideal
military school. In addition to the superior advan
tages named, Riverside has:
1. An Accomplished Faculty—An instructor of
successful experience for every twelve boys. No
cadet’s room more than three doors from teacher.
2. Wholesome Atmosphere—Two miles out in
the hills, with ideal quietude for study, yet enjoy
ing the cultured influences of the refined and in
tellectual city of Gainesville.
3. Superior Athletics—Only best coaches and
trainers employed. Every boy given opportunity
to participate. Three and four teams in each sport,
coached by members of faculty.
4. Individual Instruction—All the courses of
fered by any preparatory school and taught thor
oughly.
5. Inspection Invited—The most complete
boys’school in the South. Parents and prospective
patrons urged to visit academy.
