prisoners. Only absolute pardon could
free him.
Through the efforts of Bram's new
found friends. Congressman William
Schley Howard of Georgia introduced
a bill and fought it to a passage pro
viding that life prisoners could be pa
roled after fifteen years of servitude.
This opened the way for Bram’s
parole. Another powerful ally for
him appeared in Colonel Daniel W.
Rountree, Atlanta attorney, who took
up the fight, The prisoner was eligi
ble for parole July 12, and at that
time the papers in his case were filed
with the parole board in Washington.
Pigeonholed Order Found.
Bram s attorney, who had fought
his case in Boston, never has ques
tioned his Innocence. Since that
time, according to Bram. this attor
ney has been made District Attor
ney, and his assistance in the mat
ter of obtaining the parole was of
the greatest weight
As soon as their showing was sub
mitted. the parole board decided to
act favorably and so reported, but in
some way the recommendation found
Its way to a Washington depart
mental pigeonhole, and the parole or
der was not forthcoming.
Bram’s hopes had been raised high,
and when days and weeks passed
without the expected order giving him
freedom, this hope turned to the
blackest despair, but his friends didn’t
quit for a minute. They put power
ful influences to work. The pigeon
holed report was discovered, and
Wednesday the order came for Bram's
release.
Bram takes hi® freedom as he took
imprisonment, calmly, dispassion
ately. He is now seeking only com
plete exoneration and work. He talks
freely of his trouble and his victory.
He believes that full publicity will aid
him in his light. Here is his own
gtory of himself, the crime of which
he was convicted, his struggle for lib
erty and his hopes for the future.

prisoner when we reached port.
We were surrendered to the CCana
dian authorities, but inasmuch as
j Brown and myself were both Ameri
can citizens and tho crime had been
committed on the high seas in a ves-
I sel flying the United States flag, we
were turned over to the American
authorities and it was decided that we
j be tried in the United States Court In
Boston, from which port we had
cleared.
Sentenced To Be Hanged.
In the preliminary investigation
Brown repeated his accusation
against me, and for some reason M
was believed. Any circumstantial ev
idence they had against me was of tho
flimsiest sort, and frown’s direct evi
dence was absolutely uncorroborated.
Brown was not indicted, but I faced
the awful charge of murder. There
was prejudice against me. I guess, In
Boston. Anyhow, after my indictment
I w r as speedily brought to trial, de
clared guilty and sentenced to death
My attorney fought gallantly for
me. Ho obtained a new trial. Again
1 faced a Jury and again I heard tho
hideous words ‘‘guilty as charged,”
but this time the penalty wras fixed
at life imprisonment.
I did not dcspa.r. 1 knew that rome
day, as sure as there is a God In
heaven, I would be vindicated, and I
feel that they day is drawing close at
hand now.

Prom the moment I surrendered to

I have never known freedom. And
now that I am free I have a big work
before me.

M RS. FLORENCE NOYES is hero soon as she pirouetted at
the opening of the famous Blue Garden at Beacon Hill,
the Newport estate of Commodore Curtis James. Reclining on
a hupre sea shel lborne by six Tritons, Mrs. Noyes, the origi

Best Canvases Will Be Shown,
Whether Work of Master or
of Unknown Toiler.
Never In the history of art ha* such
an opportunity been presented to the
unknown and unrecognized artist as
that which will be offered to the
world at the Panama-Pacific Inter
national Exposition In 1915.
The works of art shown in the clas
sical Palace of Fine Arts in 1915 will
not be merely the work of the great
masters, either ancient or modern.
The best will be shown, whether it is
tho work of the master who is loaded
with diplomas and financial fortune
or whether it is the accomplishment
of the silent, unseen worker who has
toiled through the years unrecognized
except by the fulfillment of his first
inspiration In the work he has pro
duced.
Committees of eminent artists are
now searching the continents for such
artists that they may have the oppor
tunity which they have yearned for—
the opportunity of letting the world
see what contemporaneous artists can
do. It is conceded that there ar<i
many artists in the world who are
doing wonderful work, but who a r o
not recognized merely because no op
portunity has been given them. The
Panama-Pa ific International Expo
sition will present that opportunity.
Critics Hunt for Unknowns.
Some of the most famous artists
and art critics are engaged in different
parts of the world searching for suen
men. In Europe the committee of
discovery is headed by such famous
artists as Sargeant and McEwen, and
all over the United States artist* have
been deputed by the exposition art
commission to make a thorougn
search for the best work in painting,
sculpture or the other departments of
art which are to be represented la
the Palace of Fine Arts.
This is a totally new departure in
the display of the fine arts in an ex
position of world importance. Tho
exposition, celebrating as it does a
distinctly contemporaneous event—
the opening of the Panama Canal—
will be contemporaneous in all its ex
hibits. Every picture or piece of stat
uary of worth that has been done
since 1905 may be submitted for
award in the Palace of Fine Arts.
In addition to the award section irt
tl\is‘department there is to be what
the management hopes to make the
finest loan exhibit that has ever been
on view in America. Loans have be Li
promised from some of the finest col
lections in this country, while it is
also certain that a selection of the
masterpieces that have never been out
of Europe will be brought to San
Francisco in 1915
Palace for Art Exhibit*.
The art exhibit will be contained
in a beautiful palace of late Greek
and early Roman design. Fronting
the main palace, which is to be 1,100
feet long, there will be a tempi 3d
dome standing out of a lake to a
height of 120 feet.
The front of the main exhibit sec
tion of the Palace of Fine Arts will be
surrounded by a massive colonnade 40
feet wide, the floor of which will be
of mosaic ai\d the walls of which will
be adorned by some of the finest
specimens of statuary extant.
The whole building will be fireproof.
It is being erected with steel frame
and every protection is guaranteed io
the works that are exhibited during
the ten consecutive months of the ex
position.

Children Will Bump Over Same
Course Parents Took Thirty-
three Years Ago.
VANCOUVER, Auk. 30 —Thirty-
five years ago Mrs. W. Springer
and Mrs. Herman Eunk were young
married women and wore close
friends. When their first babies were
born they took them out in baby I
buggies for daily rides, in time they 1
had a regular route they would take
on their daily walks
That was 35 teas ago. and the
children who were then babies have
grown up and married. Recently a
daughter of Mrs Springer became a
mother. A daughter of Mrs. Funk has
a baby a few months old.
As soon as the Infants are old
enough, the grandmothers win take

my good name and civil rights re
stored.
Why do I want these things? Why
am 1 not satisfied in this glorious
freedom my friends have obtained for
me? Don’t think for a second 1 am
not intensely grateful to them; that 1
am not enjoying every moment of
this blessed life In the open air.
When I awoke Thursday morning I
thought that I still dreamt. 1 waited
for that rising gong that I had heard
for six long years in the prison here
and for longer, more bitter years in
the Massachusetts State prison. Then
1 realized that I was indeed free and I
actually sang a song of Joy and
praise.
But under the parole law I may not
leave the State of Georgia. The Geor
gia people have been gloriously good
to me, but I would like to »»ee my
family, from whom 1 have been sep
arated for so long. They are in New
York and have kept in constant com
munication with me, but that is not
seeing them.
Right now I can’t bring them down
here to m \ for 1 am absolutely with
out money. The $5 note which the
Government gives each released pris
oner was the first money I have seen
since a few months after my incar
ceration.
Must Find Work to Live.
I haven’t needed money here in At
lanta. The jfrison authorities gave us
everything a temperate man wants,
but now that I am out I neeu money
desperately. 1 must find work, find
it right now. I have never done any
thing ashore, but 1 guess I can learn
something. I am strong, earnest and
willing. That ought to be enough.
Under the parole law I have to re
port to Warden Moyer once eacn
no rth The warden has been among
:ny best friends, but it is hard on an
innocent man to have to make an
'•unting to somebody like a truant
' hoolboy or a probetioned drunkard
In ft eking the pardon I have no
f ought of trying to fix the blame for
■ crinn - n ai her. I don t know
•' • !: er Brown is living or dead. I
Um't even accuse him of committing
the deed
“Vengeance is mine.” says the Lord.
I am willing that it be His. He is far
wiser, f. i more Just, far more forgiv
ing than I possibly could be. And I
know that He will repay me for the
suffering I have undergone, Just as
sure a* He v l punish tho-se wno have
made an innocent man suffer.
My only wish is for my name to b>
cleared. *o that I can look every man
in the e>e and demand the respect of
all men.
Outdoor Mythological Pageant Opens Famous
Blue Garden in New York.
Mrs. Florence Noyes was the lead
ing figure in the outdoor pageant held
at Beacon Hill House, Newport, the
home of Commodore and Mrs. Arthur
Curtis James, to dedicate their blue
garden, on August 15. More than 50
persons took part in the entertain
ment. which was under the direction
of Mrs. J. W. Hawksworth.
Representing Arethusa, thf» nymph,
she reposed on a huge sea shell and
was carried by six Tritons into the
center of the garden. The shell and
its burden were then carried to the
edge of a tank, the water of which
was beautifully and dazzingly color
ed by the reflection of electric lights
of every hue.
Neptune, following on a white
horse, came 1 to Arenthusa’s side and
asked her to dance with him. To
gether they plunged into the tank
and a few seconds later, in the mist
that rose from the water, they dis
appeared.
Mrs. Noyes also posed as Spring
and as Ariadne in the pageant.
The classical dancer’s School of
Rhythmic Expression, at Sharon.
Mass., is attended by many sociey
women.
Robin, the sculptor, says that Mrs.
Noyes has the most beautiful arms
in the world. She played Liberty at
the suffrage pageant in Washington
on March 8.

On the reservation, the squaws do
not even take the trouble to kill the
dogs, throwing them, yelps, hair and
all Into tho hot water.

was noTed. and the animal became
plump and fat and its fur thick and
glossy.

Paragon of Womanhood—Fresh
Air a Factor.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 30.—The de
partment of education at Bryn Mawr
College will conduct on the college
ground? during the coming academic

will be individually studied and the
school will attempt to develop com-
pleiely and harmoniously every side
of her nature, physical and mental.
The final product desired is a per
fectly trained mind. Fresh air and
physical exercise will be important
features of the school.

didate Killed.
FULTON, KY.. Aug. 30 —Voters of
Fulton County nominated a dead man
on the Democratic ticket. All of the

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 30.—The young
women who served the other day on
the first all-women Jury in East St.
Louis are being besieged with love
letters from youths in Illinois and
Missouri, and their mail is growing
daily heavier with the gushing epis
tles.
One of the writers, as an evidence
of prosperity, states in his letter that
he “owns his own horse and buggy,”
and knows he is “the one man for
her.” He pleads for an answer, and
wants to accompany her on a joy
ride for life.
Another tells a fanciful tale of a
vivid dr^am, and refers to the young
woman as his “dream girl.”
Miss Ruth Littlefield, 18 years old,
of No. 1306 St, Clair avenue, East St..
Louis, who is a stenographer, was the
first to receive one of the love mes
sages. It was written by a youth at
Canton, Mo., who called her his
“dream girl” and said he was “all up
In the air about it.”
What a Question to Ask!
She was asked by City Attorney Fe-
kete, In questioning her for jury duty.
If she was 21 years old.
“indeed, I am not,” she answered,
as she ruffled up and sent a wither
ing glance tow'ard the young lawyer.
“I am not 20 yet; I am only 18.”
When she opened her mall subse
quently she received the fervent let
ter mentioned.
Miss Emma Mitchell, of No. 739
North Thirteenth street, East St.
Louis, a stenographer, who was fore
woman of the jury, received her first
love note from a "modest young man”
of Red Rud. Ill. At least, he so de
scribed himself.
He addressed her as “My dear Miss
Mitchell of the woman’s jury,” and
plunged at once into a word picture
of his ideas of a perfect woman, and
assured her that her picture is the
“Image of an ideal girl.”
He is a home-loving man, he writes,
and knows he would make her a good
husband.
A message received by Mis.s Ruth
Brown. 18, of No. 3804 Waverly place,
a stenographer, was from a lovesick
youth of Bonne Terre, Mo.
“Kind friend,” it read, “I saw' your
picture last eve and I thought I
would drop you a few lines to get ac
quainted with each other, as I would
like to get acquainted with a nice
girl like your photo in the paper. I
hope you will accept the letter and
answer it, for I think J am the one
man for you. Although I have not
seep you personally, I would like to.
Youth Owns a “Turnout.”
“I am a young man just of age. I
have my own horse and buggy—in
fact, we are very' well-to-do. So if
you say. we can write to each other,
for there’s no harm in friendly let
ters, are they? We must meet each
other some day. You write to any
body about me, for w r e are the old
est settlers in Bonne Terre.
“So I w ill close, hoping to hear from
you.
“ p - S.—Please excuse had writing,
as the pen point is bad. Will do bet
ter next time, if there is any next. At
least, I hope so.”
The Jury of young women fined
Mrs. Thomas, of No. 716 Baugh ave
nue. $5 and costs on a charge of dis
turbing the peace of a neighbor Mrs.
Thomas was arrested later on an
other complaint and was fined $200
and costs by Justice Chandler.

DEBEQUE, COLO.. Aug. 30.—The
Rev. A. L. Glover, of the First Meth
odist Church, finds that he must enlarge
his church to accommodate the crowds
which attend his weekly services since

enness.
The cowboys were shooting up the
town. They were fined $10 each. They

loon License Over Protest of
Suffragettes.
WARRENTON, OREG., Aug. 30.—
Miss Clara Cynthea Munson, “the
only woman Mayor in the West,” is

OF TYPHOID I
PUZZLE TO CITY
St. Louis Doesn’t Know What to
Do With 14-Year-Old Katie
Fischer, Now in Hospital.
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 30.—This city Is
puzzled to know what to do with the
14-yeur-old girl suspected of having
unconsciously caused seven deaths
and 72 cases of typhoid fever at St.
Mary’s Female Orphan Aslum.
Innocent though she be, should
Katie be permitted to go at large
with the possibility of communicat
ing typhoid to anyone with whom she
comes in contact? An^l healthy,
hearty, plucky little girl that she is
otherwise, should she be isolated and
Incarcerated indefinitely? And if so,
where and whose is the authority and
responsibility?
Her case is something like that of
"Typhoid Mary” in New York. Phy
sicians say that in Europe Dr. Koch
established many isolation stations to
meet such contingencies, but there is
no such provision against the spread
of typhoid here.
Dr. Martin C. Woodruff, chief vac
cine physican of the Health Depart
ment, who, wth Dr. Downey L. Har
ris. chief city bacteriologist, made the
microscopic tests In the Katie Fisher
case and pronounced her positively a
typhoid carrier, told of other cases,
one in particular, that of a man. an
inmate of the United States Marine
Hospital at San Francisco, who has
been the innocent cause of perhaps
seventeen deaths from typhoid.
He undoubtedly is a permanent car
rier of the disease, but is to be turn
ed loose upon the community for lack
of authority or means or sufficient
reason for detaining him.
Katie has lost her father, and was
placed in the orphan asylum by her
sister.
She is undersized, hut plump and
rosy and robust. She is an old-look
ing child, with a puckered brow, off
set by an eternal effort at cheerful
ness, an eagerness to please and to
serve.

the women card players, if arrested,
would go ito court to test the order.

ALTON, ILL., Aug. 30.—Justice of
the Peace Barrett here dismissed a
slander suit brought by Deacon John
Denother of the Salem Presbyterian
Church, near upper Alton, against Dea
con Koch, on the charge that Koch
falsely had accused him of working on
the Sabbath day.
The justice held that Deacon Den-
other was not slandered, because even
if Koch charged that he w'orked on the
Sabbath, he was not injured, as the
Scriptures justify necessary labor on
that day.
He denied that he plowed on the
Sabbath, but said he led his horse to
water past the corn field, buried a dead
horse and nailed boards around a stove
to prevent his children from burning
themselves.
