DIR. SANBORN IS FREE.
San Bernardino Judges Consider Him
Sane and Discharge Him.

SAN BERNARDINO, Dec. 21.-The
called today at San Bernardino before
Judge Campbell, Judge Otis sitting with
him to hear the case. This is a similar
case to that brought some time since be-
fore Judge Van Dyke and previously be-
fore Judge Shaw, for the alleged illegal
restraint of DR.. Sanborn in the insane
asylum at Highlands to which place the
doctor had been committed by an order
of Judge Shaw, adjudging him at that
time to be insane. Judge Shaw remand
ed him because he believed that DR..
Campbell, the superintendent at High
lands, was the best judge of when the
doctor was sufficiently cured of his CO.
caine habit to be entitled to his dis
charge. While the doctor. through his
attorneys, have all the while contended
through all of his many struggles to re-
gain his liberty, that he is now and for
a long time past has been sane, and
therefore is entitled to his liberty, while
the authorities at Highlands contended
that even if sane now, if discharged be-
fore a year had elapsed he would imme-
diately return to his old habits and be
worse than ever in the end and that If
this case should succeed it would mater
tally affect the success and interests of
the asylum in turning one-half of it's in
mates loose before they were perma-
nently cured The counsel for the petit
toner contended that if sane now the
patient is entitled to his release without
regard to the question whether there was
danger or not that he would again re-
turn to the cocaine habit Judges Camp
bell and Otis looked al it in the same light
and discharged the doctor.

put at a late hour tonight fourteen had

nope or reaching the others before the
deadly after damp claimed them as vic
Tins.
Immediately after the disaster be-
came known rescue gangs descended the
shaft but it was sometime before the
ventilation had been so managed that
they could work in safety. The party
which entered the mine at GAS tonight
scceeded in pushing their way to the
plane where the imprisoned men had
been working, and there they stumbled
over the bodies of a number of uncon-
scious men, AS quick as the work
could be accomplished they were brougl I
to the surface, where corps of doctors
was in waiting. Wrapped in blankets.
some of the victims were sent to their
homes and some to the hospitals. The
physicians have hopes that all may re-
cover
Had they been in the damn five min
utes longer all would probably have
died of suffocation. Johr Healy. one of
the rescuers who was first to discover
the bodies on the plane, says the men
were huddled closely together. They had
apparently abandoned all hope of res
cue and were resolved to die together
The supposition is that the men, when
they realized their danger, made their
way to the highest point on the plane.
The smoke found its way to them, how
ever, and they We're all but suffocated
when found.
The theory of the explosion now is
that there was a fall of rock on the
slops where the dynamite was stored;
that the dynamite exploded, and the
smoke filled the plane
Grief was turned into joy when the
rescued men We're brought to the sur
face. Women and children wept and
strong men clasped each other in their
arms. 1t is pfobab BILE that those men who
We're in the immediate vicinity of the
spot where the explosion occurred were
the only ones killed, and their number
may not be more than four or five.
The mine when in full operation en-
ploys about $50 men and boys. When
the explosion occurred there were prob
ably sixty men in the mine. OF this
number forty or thereabouts succeeded
in getting to the surface in safety.
Those imprisoned were at work fully a
mile from the shaft
The men in the engine house who had
charge of the hoisting carriages gave
the first alarm. A rescuing party was
Immediately organized bit it was only
after several attempts had been made

pie. We have many great men in our coun-
try: Grand, splendid, almost immortal in
ability, in craftsmanship and in patriotism,
and 1t is no discredit to the greatest of them
that the hearts Of the American people
turn to one. 1t is no discredit to them that
the forces OF repablicanism are turning and
pointing to one standard bearer OF the re-
publican party in the coming election.
Why, even inanimate things are speak
ing for him. Every shrill whistle that calls
men to labor in this country every water
wheel that still turns, every spindle that
sings at all in America-they all sing,
scream and whistle for William Mckinley
OF Ohio. Great cheering) The American
people love all their great leaders We
wish not to detract from the splendor Of
any, but there il one name ready to break
forth in hallelujahs from every lip, one
name which stands for the great doctrines
of American protection, one name that will
strike more terror in the hearts of demo-
cratic hosts than does the word Of God in
the hosts of sin, one namo that tells of IL
lustrious service on the nations battle
fields, one name ready to break forth in
spontaneity from the peoples lips, one
name that is certain to be borne by the next
president of the United States, the name Of
the great American citizen-William b.
Mckinley of the United States of America"
At the close Of Senator Thurston's speech
the great audience went wild. Hats, canes,
umbrellas and handkerchiefs were waved
and thrown in air, and pandemonium
reigned. With three cheers and tiger for
William Mckinley, the next president of
the United States, and for Senator Thurs.
ton, the convention adjourned.

being taken far away from home to

allow them to attend a school from which
they return home at night
The twenty-five thousand Indian child
rem in our schools do not include the chill
dren of the Five Civilized tribes, who are
In. schools controlled by the tribes them
selves.
Progress is being made by many of the
Indians. Some of them now teach Indian
schools; some follow various mechanical
pursuits, some farm and many more readi-
ly learn to watch and herd cattle. But
blanket Indians are still to be found
in very great numbers.
BY blanket Indians we mean those who
do not wear citizens clothes, but who
go clad in buckslSin shoes and leggings,
and wrap themselves in great blankets
instead of wearing coats and vests, while
some of them, in warm weather, wear
scarcely any clothing at ALL
Many of them still know nothing of civ
ilization or of Christianity. Their relig-
ious ceremonies are too often still heath
enish, and they are regardless of marriage
ties.
One Of the chief difficulties about helping
the Indians comes from the fact that
many of the whites who have gone among
them have done so simply for the salaries
they receive, and they, therefore, perform
only those duties that are absolutely re-
quired. In nearly all of our colleges and
schools there are young men and women
far east, to China, to Korea or else
where, as missionaries. While / have not
criticised the action of our foTefathers
and of our fathers in the treatment of the
Indians, l urge. without hesitation, that
among this people can be found field for
missionary work as worthy of Christian
zeal as in those countries far away from
our own.

Money as an Inducement.
From the New york Press.


There are several prominent families not
far from us whose numerical increase is
due not alone to a yearning for children.
For instance, there is Senator Eugene
Hale's numerous and beautiful posterity
Hale of Spaini When Hale married old
Zach Chambers daughter, the great poll
ucian and millionaire being lonely in his
last years insisted that he should have
grandsons and granddaughters to dan
die, and as a sort of life insurance agreed
to give the sum Of S25, 600 to the young
couple for every child born to them The
contract has been profitable to the sena-
tor. The Hammersley millions hung fire
long time while waiting for a Hamers-
ley heir. The disposition of this vast
fortunes depended on a boy. Girls were
born from time to time, but not till lit
tie while ago was the burden
of anxiety lifted by the ar
rival of a fine boy. Our gifted young ex-
commodore of the New York Yacht Club
Edwin Denison Morgan part owner of
the Defender, is said to have received the
largest sum ever offered to the scion of
a great family for becoming a father.
Old Gov. Morgan agreed to give him and
his wife, l understand, 100000 for each
child. For this and other reasons "Alty'.
changed his name. In the days of The
long ago-1 should like to put it as far
back as posSib le-we knew him only a.
Atty" His name was Altheus Morgan.
His admiration of his distinguished grand
father caused him to take the old gen
tleman's name, and we now know him
only as f. d. Morgan, and a very charm
ing fellow.
