WHERE Is BLAKE7
II He the Same Man Who II Want
ed Here7

Acting Chief Robert w. Ash has re-
ceived a letter from Sheriff w. ".
Buckner Of Hanford, Kings County, re-
questing the local police to be on the
lookout for one Warren c. Blake, q
musician, who had been sentenced to
four months Imprisonment in Hanford
for the crime of petty embezzlement.
While on his way to the County Jail
Blake gave leg-bail and escaped He
is described as slender built man Of
about 25 years of age, of medium COM
plexion, and is feet 10 inches tall, has
dark brown hair, slightly curly and is
thin in the face. The description also
states that Blake was a good musician,
had been leader of band at Ukia h.,
and had taught music at Hornitas,
Mariposa County, at which place he
married under the name of A. P.
Humes.
When Chief Ash read this description
he at once concluded that Warren c..
Blake, alias A. P. Humes, was the
same man who under the name of John
Smith secured valuable guitar and
also fine grade banjo from a Grip
pied music teacher named G. F. Jones
Of this city about three months ago
under the representation that his sis
ters were to play for a church benefit.
He at once sold the Instruments in a
downtown pawnshop.
! Blake, who is. an accomplished mu-
sician, it seems, makes 1t a business to
| get acquainted with the names of
friends of unsuspecting music teachers
and by referring to people we'll known
to his intended victims, he manages to
borrow valuable instruments which he
at once disposes of. Chief Ash has
| learned that on October 18th Blake, in
like manner, secured from Miss Sarah
]. Boyle of Park avenue, and from Miss
l.. Benson Of the Hotel Encinal-both
of Alameda-several costly mandolins
and guitars which he sold in second
hand stores. From there he evidently
went to Hanford where he seems to
have committed a like offence, but was
caught, cOnvicted-and escaped.

HUMANE SOCIETY.
Report Of Its Work Done During
the Last Month.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Sacramento County Humane Society
was held at the office of Secretary
Schad last night.
The Secretary reported that he mad
forwarded copies of the bylaws of
the society to responsible parties in
woodland, Gridley and Live Oak, and
had offered them any assistance he
could give in the formation of socie-
ties One of the letters written had
been addressed to a minister.
This brought out considerable com
ment, together with the fact that at
the present time only one minister OF
the gospel Is a member of the local So
clety, and that only three contribute
to its support
Inc claims of the Natoma Vineyard
company to the horse and cart and tur-
Keys recently seized by J. N Payne. Of
nicer OF the society were spread before
the meeting. 1t will be remembered
that Mr.. Payne arrested a man who
was bringing batch of turkeys to mar
ket IN coop several sizes too small,
ana that the man escaped by goin.
into private yard to see a man, and
scaling the rear fence. He has not
since been seen. He was, 1t appears,
tenant OF the Natoma Vineyard Com
pany, and owed that corporation for
rent, and on that ground the claim was
presented.
It was decided to allow the Natoma
Vineyard Company to press it's claim
In the proper manner, If it desired SO

hands of the society, and the probabili-
ties are that it has already eaten its
head off.
Ohicer Payne reported that he had
attended to twelve cases during the
month, number Of which were aggra-
waited. He made two arrests during the
month and secured one convictions the
other man arrested having escaped.
The officer was instructed to keep 9
close lookout for violators Of the chick

REGIsTRATIoN OF DEATHS.
Census Bureau Asking for Infor-
nation Regarding It.

DR.. w. p Mathews, Secretary Of the
State Board of Health, is in receipt Of
a letter from the Census Bureau OF the
Department of the Interior, stating that
the Office desires to obtain accurate in
formation of the registration Of deaths
in the various States. Among other
questions asked are: Whether our
State laws require registration of
deaths; whether their operation is uni
form; whether all deaths are reported
and If not, what percentage is reported.
DR.. Mathews has made some inves-
tigation of the matter and finds that
the State law requires all attending
physicians, clergymen and Coroners
connected with the death and burial to
report the death. The statistics are
generally gathered by the local Boards
Of Health. That the practice is not uni
form in the State and that the reports
are not sent to the State Board of
Health, although it is the duty of Re-
corders to do so. He Is still engaged
in investigation of the subject.

OUR OPPORTUNITY

The Omaha exposition will open July first and the great show will con- tinue four months. Frcm the Omaha Worid-Herald we glean the following Great as was the exposition last year the one to be given this year will in many regards be greater The col onial feature will be something super for to anything witnessed last year; the music will be fully as good; the Midway promises well, as the c0nces- sions granted already take in every thing of any importance on tha l grounds last year and a dozen or mere bright and amusing attractions not seen last year, including Cuban and Porto Rican village, a Hawaiian viI- lage, a Philippine village, and many other attractions. In the manufactur- ing, electrical and machinery build ings the displays are full of interest, as in addition to a complete exhibit of manufacturing machinery and hard ware and ether interesting things will be moving machinery exhibit that will eclipse anything ever seen in the west.
 Most of the western states-all of those noted for their progressiveness-
 
 exposition last year and will provide similar exhibits this year. Their peo- pc appreciate the advantage that ac- crues from such enterprise. Thou sands of homeseekers were induced to settle in the west last year as a result of the showing made at Omaha by diff ferent states. Thousands of others will be at Omaha this summer looking for information concerning attractive regions in the west. Arizona was not represented at the first Omaha exposi- tion; she will not be represented at the second one unless the people get to work immediately. Arizona ought to be the first to take advantage of this opportunity to gain people and capital, but uniess present signs fail it will not even be the last, but will stand still and permit the other states to shcw enterprise and reap the reward of it.

WHIPPING ASA PUNISHMENT.

At meeting of the Medico-Legal
 society of New York last week, the
 whipping pest as a means of punish
 ment was openly advocated by Justice Baldwin of the Connecticut supreme
 court; Frank Moss, counsel of the
 Mazet committee, and others promj-
 nent in the study of penology. At
 first thought this may seem like bar
 barcus doctrine, especially from the bench, but it should be said that none
 of it's adherents advocated its 1ndis- criminate adoption, Justice Baldwin merely taking the ground that whip ping has a direct tendency to teach g
 man to refrain from whatever Is likely
 to entail another punishment of the
 same sort. The obvious object of our
 criminal laws is or should be deterrent
 and corrective as well as penal. but ia
 many cases they seem to be wholly in adequate for the former purposes The
 lazy brute who beats wife, children or
 lower animals, for example, does net always fear but often relishes impris- onment permitting him to live an in dolent term at the expense of the state. yet he would be quite apt to dread cor poral chastisement, and in most cases a prospective fiogging would doubtless
 be a powerful check on his temper and hands. Cases often arise where the outraged sense of good people in- voluntarily wishes there were some thing more summary in the line of punishment than indolent cCnfine- ment, but the idea of whipping is so repugnant that few would in calm moment counsel it's employment Yet if it is repugnant to the law abiding on humane considerations, it probably is to the inhumane for physical req sens, and on that account would be an effective deterrent. There is nothing essentially vicious in the whipping post except when barbarously used as in Delaware, where men a@e fiogged in l the open air with the temperature at | zero and in public, thus endangering l life and degrading manhood unneces- ! sarily. The judicious inf1iction of pain | might be a great penal reform, but if | adopted it should be applied without eclat and in the presence of but a few persons, who should all be present off, cial.y. and should include a physician

FIRST MAY DAY IN AMERICA.
How This Country Appeared 292 Years
 Ago


 It hardly seems credible that only 292 years ago America was a wilder ness inhabited by savage tribes of In- dians and a few struggling companies of whites from over the sea. Yet on May 13, 1907, the first permanent Eng fish colony was established in the | United States. It was named James town, in honor of King James, and was on the shore of Chesapeake bay, Vir- ginia.
 In the beginning the colonists were under the direction of Captain New port, but Captain John Smith, the fa . nous adventurer, soon assumed con trCl which he retained until the fall of 1908.
 The little company Of 100 left Black wall, below London England in De- cember. 1903, and after making roundabout journey in three small ships were driven into Hampton Roads by a storm. The colcnists selected for the site Of Jamestown a peninsula which has since become an island. On this strip of land they were protected on three sides from the Indians by the waters of the James river They had an experience of Indian fighting when they first landed, however. One of the colCnists thus described it:
 At night when we were going aboard there came savages creeping from the hills like beares, with bowes in their mouthes, charged us very des- perately, hurt Captain Gabrill Archer in both hands. and a sayler in two places of the body very dangerous. After they had spent their arrows, and felt the sharpness of our shot, they re- tired into the woods with great noise and so left us.'
 Later. however, the chief of the Rap pahannocks visited &nd welcomed them. He marched at the head of a band of braves, piping on a reed flute and dressed in all the bal'Oarous finery of an Indian dude. One side of his head was shorn of hair, and over the | spot he wore copper plate. The hair 1 on the other side was wound with | deer's hair and dyed rose red. Two | long feathers were stuck in this fan | tastic headgear, his bcdy was stained | and his face was painted blue | and smeared with a pigment that l shone like silver. His neck and ears were decorated with wampum and l strings of pearls, and pendent from each ear was a birds claw set with | copper.
 After great hardships the colony finally became established and old | Jamestown, Va, exists to this day. Chicago Record.
