DECISION OF HIGHEST COURT
Justice Tempered With Mercy,
Declares Judge in Sentencing
Woman Accused of Murder.
OLYMPIA. WASH., Auk 30.—The
Supreme Court has affirmed the con
viction <>* LfntXa "Burnt-Id Hazzard.
hunger specialist, on a chary® of man -
‘daughter after the death of Claire
Williamson, an Englishwoman who
took the starvation cure at the H&z-
zard sanitarium at Olalla. in Kitsap
County.
Overruling the defendant on each of
the twelve points raised in the ap
peal. the Washington Supreme Court
announced that the lower tribunal
had “tempered justice with mercy” In
Axing Mrs. Hazzard’s sentence at
from five to twenty year* in prison.
The Hazzard case was one of the
most notable in criminal jurispru
dence Throughout the trial and since
her rase has been on appeal to the
[ Supreme Court, Mrs. Hazzard has
l been regarded by her friends as the
■founder of a new school for the tTest
ament of disea.se. The sanitarium at
■ Olalla has thrived, and Mrs. Hazzard
has not larked for patient* anxious
and willing to undergo the terrible
ordeal of the hunger cure.
Caused Gre®t Protest.
The death of Miss Williamson
aroused a storm of protest against
the cure. Mrs. Hazzard was charged
with first degree murder, and the jury
found her guilty of manslaughter in
February. 1912. 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
such as Claire Williamson was sub
jected to must be fatal, Mrs. Hazzard
announced that she would fast her
self Subsequently she placed herself
at the disposal of a committee of doc
tors. but the medical men declined to
take part in the demonstration, and
Mrs. Hazzard undertook her fast un
der the scrutiny of a committee of
her own choosing.
Fasted 55 Days.
She announced after 55 days that
she had refrained from taking food
during that period. She had fallen in
weight from 135 pounds to 112 pounds,
but appeared to be in excellent health.
Mrs. Hazzard contended that her own
fast proved that the expert medical
testimony given at her trial had been
successfully refuted.
Although under sentence, Mrs. Haz-
zard continued to practice her system
of treating disease. The murder trial
had given her widespread publicity,
and hundreds of persons wrote her
every week inquiring about the hun
ger cure.
ST. PAUL, Aug. 30.—Application in
rhyme for parole from the State re
formatory, where he is serving a sen
tence for forgery, has been made by
S. Harold Nielson, of Chicago.
A yearning for Chicago, where, th"
poet says, he “was raised when hut
a boy,” Is expressed in the lengthy
poem.
Some of the verses, evidently the
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.
1 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 thinking of a man who has a
heart,
And that is Governor Hberhart,
Wondering If he would please give me
my release
Or let me suffer behind the bars to
squeeze.
All I pray for Is but a chance
To show r that I can fit the law’s pants.
1 want to be in the State of Illinois.
That i* where I w as raised when but
a boy.
Unless other* prisoners object, it
was stated, Nielson's efforts will be
printed in the reformatory paper.

Belleville, III., Farmer Sends to
Germany for Woman and
Seven Children.
RELiUkVIUI.E, I EL., Aug. 30.—The
brothers Grass. Alois and otto, back
were inseparable, twenty years ago,
were insparable. “What one has the
otheV shall have; share and share
alike,' was the principle they ob
served.
But little towns ip Germany do not
present many opportunities for strong
young men, and it was decided that
Alois, the older, could better contrib
ute to the support of the Grass par
ents by seeking his fortune in the
New r 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 as he needed. In particu
lar, after they had married and got
families, should one die, the other
was to give assistance and keep wid
ow and children from want.
Alois reached the wonderful New
World and after several years of
knocking about settled near Belleville.
He married and managed to buy a
little farm. Six children were born.
Brother Otto also married and sev
en little ones added glory to the
name of Grass.
Two month* ago word came from
Otto’s widow that he had died sud
denly. Then, six weeks ago. Alois
was made a widower. Shortly after
ward a matronly German woman,
accompanied by seven stalwart chil
dren, arrived here, Alois Grass met
them at the station. Mrs. Otto Grass
became Mrs. Alois Grass, and now
thpre are thirteen Grass cousins io
helo till the Grass farm.
GOES TO EUROPE
Mrs. Lena Stoiber-Reed Quits
Denver to Enjoy Fruits of
Her Ventures.
17 DAYS' VIGIL WINS $14,000.
WINNIPEG. MAN, Auk. 30. After
standing at the door of a land office
for seventeen days and nights, Har
vey Davis, of Lincoln, Neb., yesterday
filed on a homestead near Winifred
which is valued at $14,000.
DENVER Aug. 30.— Mr*. Lena Stol-
her-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 ha* made
in mining.
She 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 familiar figure 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
Jdan 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
Coast capitalist. Mr Reed w r ent down
with the Titanic.
Another successful 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
hut pleasure rather than president of
one of the biggest mines in Cripple
»’reek.
Judge Believes in
Newspaper Veracity;
Indiana Jurist Also Has Found Re- |
porters To Be Nice
Young Men.
MUNCIE, INI)., Aug. 30.—“I said in
open court, and the statement was
published in the newspapers, that all
these ‘blind tiger’ cases were set for
trial.” said Judge W. A. Thompson, of
the Circuit Court, addressing an at
torney for one of the accused men,
who said yesterday that he thought
his client’s case was not to come up
until Thursday.
"Do you believe everything you read
in the newspapers?” asked Prosecut
ing Attorney J. Frank Mann.
“Every little thing.” responded the
court. “I believe the newspapers to
be truthful and their representatives
to be truthful. The reporters I hav*
always found to be clean, nice young
men.”
JAIL-BREAKER LEAVES CARD
OF APOLOGY; CELL TOO HOT
JACKSON, MICH., Aug 30 When
Paul DeMott escaped from the jail
at Forest, Miss., where he was serv
ing a sentence for carrying concealed
weapons, he felt a note of regret.
He said he disliked to leave without
even saying “good-bye," hut that tlie
unbearable heat forced him to go. He
also promised to pay what remained
of his fine—that Is, if he could make
the necessary money .
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.
s
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 the 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 j
at wages ranging from 20 to 40 cents I
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, (no. 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, w T hile an
other 10,000 are needed in Pittsburg
proper on building operations. The
output of the Connellsville coke fields
has been reduced 25 per cent. The
coal mines about Pittsburg are run
ning 50 per cent siort.
Farmers Neel Thousands.
In West Virgin!* and Virginia the
coal mines are ruming half time a*
a result of insuffident labor, while
the same condition prevails in the
Ohio coal mines.
Harvesting the eibrmous crops in
Kansas and adjoining States is being
seriously interfered with. Kansas
calls in vain for 25.0 0 men. Arizona,
too, wants farm hanoj, and even Del
aware has sent an ugent appeal fof
men to work in the ha-vest fields.
The railroad* are iralmost as seri
ous a predicament as the farmers.
The enormous crops and the work
required to move then, the extensive
improvements being nade by rail
roads throughout the ountry and the
damage done by floodsin the Middl®
West, all have been factirs. But prob
ably more important tan all has
been the generally inbroved busi
ness conditions which have mad®
places for every unemplc/ed man and
woman.

Meets His Rescuer
After Fifty Years
THE RECORD
By special order of the Secretary of War an offi
cer of the United States Army is to he 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 modern 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 are 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 wore 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.
He 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.
lie 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 modemly 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 lias:
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 bov given opportunity
to participate. Three and four teams in each kport,
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.
