BELIEVES HIS SON
is INNOCENT
John w. Young Says the Alleged MUIR
derer Is Hayward, but Without
Criminal Tendency.

PARIS, Sept. 26.-John w. Young,
father Of William Hooper Young, who
is charged with the murder in New
York of Anna Nielsen Pulitzer, said in
an interview today:
II am convinced that my son is In
nocent and 1 shall do all in my power
to help him, while IL I thought him
guilty Of so horrible crime I would
not move a hand to save him from
justice. He is hayward, but he never
had criminal tendency. The only ex-
PLANTATION is that he fell under the in
fluence Of some designing person who
perpetrated the murder and through
whom my son acquired a guilty knowl-
edge of the crime, or possibly became
an accessory after the fact. The boy
is not insane but his mental strength
had been undermined by vicious hab-
its into which he fell while young.
The dispatches say a suit of my
sons clothes was found in the trunk
with the murdered woman's clothing,
this itself is in his favor for the perpe-
traitor of a crime would never convict
himself in such an obvious way This
was done by the real murderer who is
now using my son as a screen. My
son is not a member Of the Mormon
church, nor has he been connected with
it for many years. We have been es-
tranged for fifteen years. l helped him
frequently through my other son, but
have not seen him because Of his way
wardness and his vicious habits. 1t
was without my knowledge and con-
sent that my son was living in my
apartments during my absence"

Brazil.
These appointments are to take eff
feet when Ambassador White leaves
Berlin in November.
One Is Nebraskan.
David E. Thompson Is the only new
appointment in the above list, the re-
mainder being exchanges from one
post to another. Mr.. Thompson for
many years has been prominent fig
ure in Republican politics in Nebraska.
He began life as brakeman on the
Burlington & Missouri railroad; was
promoted to the mechanical depart
ment and finally became a progressive
railroad man. He Is interested now
largely in real estate. He was one of
the leading figures in the triangular
senatorial contest between Meiklejohn,
Thompson and DIETRICH, which resulted
in the election of DIETRICH, the present
senator. 1t is understood that the SEN
ator is the principal sponsor of Mr..
Thompson in his diplomatic aspira-
ton.
Mr.. Hardy makes the fourth change
in his diplomatic career. He is poet
and novelist Of repute and originally
sent to Persia. Then he was trans
ferred to Greece, thence to Switzerland,
and now he goes to Madrid, in each
case the change amounting to sub
stantial promotion. He Is O. native Of

clans; people who own their own
property, have bank accounts, are en-
gagged in the pursuit of lucrative busi-
ness or who are living on the fruits Of
their own or others investments.
If we confine our observations to
our own city our experience will show
that there is little or no public spirit
whatever prevailing among us except
that which is confined to those who
vote for their party's candidates in our
municipal elections and who actively
concern themselves in the success of
such candidates. Civic improvement
or identification will never come
through exclusive organizations, and
it will moreover make very little head
way, indeed, through any organization
which does not entitle itself to the
support and approval of such citizens,
even If it does not include fair num-
Der of them among it's members.
The ladies of the community have
exceptional possibilities of usefulness
in the work undertaken by the Civic
federation, but no man who engages
in that work who has not already
shown his zeal and activity in the
party political affairs of the commun-
ity in which he lives will be found in
the long run to be worth his salt.

HANDY STAMP BOOKS
MAY BE ABOLISHED
Postoffice Bureau at War With Printing
Department Over the Little Books.

Department over the Little BOOKS.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 26-There
the postoffce department and the bureau
of engraving and printing over the eXecu-
ton Of the contract to print the postage
stamps required by the department. The
plies and scales complain bitterly Of the
lax way that the bureau handles depart
ment work, and declare that 1t seems to
be the rule of the bureau to slight post
office department work for the benefit Of
the work Of the treasury department,
which has the right Of way over every
thing else.
A prominent official of the postoff1ce
department today. speaking of the mat
ter, said: "a thorough understanding
will be arrived at between the postmaster
relations that are to exist in the future
before the contract for the next four
years, covering the furnishing Of postage
stamps, is signed. The officials Of the
ondary importance, to be served at their
convenience. AS an instance Of the way
they treat our orders, we gave word on
Feb. last for thirteen new postage stamp
designs. For the first time In the history
Of the department the memory of wom-
an was to be honored by having her head

ture on one of the stamps was enthus-
iastically received in many parts OF the
country Nearly eight m months sata have have
made Of these stamps. The whole
scheme is allowed to get cold before it
can be realized. In the case Of the post
age stamp books, when that was. sug-
gested the bureau promptly said 1t was
an impracticable scheme. They could
not do it without an enlargement Of the
building and the taking on Of an addi-
similar books were used by private COM
panies, and saw no reason why they could
not be utilized by the government.

DEVOTION OF
AN ARMY NURSE
Gives Up Her Vocation and Success
fully Cares for Two Small
pox Patients.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 26.-An
instance of bravery and devotion to
duty on the part of an army nurse has
been reported to the war department
by Maj. Gen. Chaffee, commanding the
division of the Philippines in the fol-
lowing words:
Nurse Alice Kemmer, army nurse
corps, having been granted leave Of
absence, voluntarily relinquished it and
took upon herself the care of two
smallpox patients In an isolated hos
pital One Of the patients was the wife
of an officer and the other an enlisted
man.
Miss Kemmer had never had the
disease. Nevertheless, she fearlessly
entered upon her self-imposed tax and
through April and May, 1902, devoted
herself to the care of the patients, re-
naming in the room with the officers
wife, the enlisted man being in an adj
Joining room. With never more than
two hours sleep at a time, the nurse
attended her patients day and night
during the intensely hot weather and
saved their lives"
Gen. Chaffee commends her bravery
and conscientious performance of duty.

THE REALLY GOOD CITIZENS

More than one of the speakers at
the several sessions Of the Civic
league have spoken unfavorabIy with
reference to partisan politics and to
those active in the partisan political
contests in the different cities. Indeed.
it seems to be accepted by many who
should know better, as a badge of their
own superiority as citizens, that they
should adopt uncomplimentary esti-
mates of those who play their part as
citizens in their own way in the gov
eminent Of the municipalities in which
they reside.
T e Clio b e objects and protests
against any imputation of inferiority,
coming from any source whatever, di-
rected against those who engage ac-
lively in the political life around them.
These men, with very few exceptions.
no matter what party they belong to,
are Influenced primarily by the good
Of the community, and their activity
is always in honorable contrast to that
of those who are so ready to criticise
them, and who, not infrequently them
selves, wholly neglect their civic du-
ties. If there was good deal more
of the spirit which leads men to go to
the polls and become active in local
political campaigns in behalf of the
nominees of their party there would
be good deal more of the spirit which
the Civic federation seeks to develop
prevailing among the people, and 1t
would, moreover, prevail among them
more generally.
AT best but comparatively small
proportion of the qualified voters of
any city take part in it's political af-
fairs, even to the extent Of casting
their votes. From what ranks of So
ciety, let 1t be asked, are those re-
cruited whose names never appear on
the registration lists? They do not
come from among the poor or the ig-
norant, or the Woodworking classes of
society. Investigation in this direction
would probably lead to the discovery
That they come In greatest numbers
from the classes in which are found
the greatest number of the critics of
partisan politics and partisan politi-
