Juvenile Desperate Held Up
 Policeman.

oakland, Cal. July 29.-The spirit or Tracey the outlaw, seems to have taken possession of Ralp Ellis. fourteen years of age. He began with burglary at the home of Martin Dierssen, commercial traveller. and ended with the holding up of Policeman Con Keefe.
 Whether the juvenile desperado will be sent to the penitentiary or merely spanked is a problem that concerns chief Iv the prisoner just now.
 Patrolman Keefe was called to the Dierssen home.
 ''Theres a burglar in the house." said a member of the family. we can hear him in the rooms upstairs"
 Keefe sedately walked upstairs and opened the door.
 "Throw up your hands" shouted some hodv within the room. Keefe was aston ished. but up went his hands.
 The burglar was Ralph Ellis. keefe looked sauarely into the muzzle of revolver.
 Members of the Dierssen family had followed the policeman. They spoke to inc hoy and diverted his attention. Keefe, taking advantage of the momentary op- portunity, disarmed him. He is being held until it is decided what to do with him

In view of the fact that Iowa has two members or the Cabinet. the leader of the Senate ana the Sneaker of the House, the platform is exnected to voice the sentiment of the administration The only contention is whether the State platform of last year will be reafirmed in, its entirety. objec- tion has been made to the words We favor any modification of the tarin scned- ule that may be required to prevent their affording shelter to monopolies.
 Governor Cummins and his followers are in favor of the re-enactment or this clause. The majority of the members of the Iowa Congressional delegation and a large following in the party led by Lafayette Young of Polk are opposed to this clause because of implied meaning that the tariff is the father of the trust.

A WILD FRESHMAN.

A mob of about fifty Italians in
pursuit of an Irishman was sight
which caused much amusement for
those who witnessed the scene in the
granite manufacturing district on
Barre street Thursday morning The
Italians suspected Mike Slattery of
stealing beer from them and set out
on his trail armed WITH picks shovels
and other implements. They are
those employed on the gas works and
had their beer stored in their quar-
ters in the stone shed formerly &C.
cupied by Lynch Brothers. By word
and sign Mike tried to explain, talk.
ing English, Irish and a mixture Of
tongues, but the Italians could not
understand him nor he them and as a
result he fed. Finally, hard pressed,
he climbed derrick mast. From
this security he let out wild cries for
succor Ultimately assistance arrived,
explanations ensued and the Incl dent
was closed.

CHAPLAIN FULLER'S ADORE -

Considering the number of import
ant committee hearings the attend
ance at the lecture by Chaplain j. X.
Fuller of the State prison at Windsor
was very good indeed, and those who
were there heard some interesting
things about the prison and the prin-
ciples that should underlie and govern
that institution. told in brlght way.
Mr.. Fuller is an effective talker and
points his remarks with illustrations
easily remembered. He gave several
instances to show the dire need of
sympathy and friendly aid for dis
charged convicts, and urged the Guilt
walton of this helpful si.it both by
individuals and by the State. Mr..
Fuller deprecated certain harsh meth
DDS pursued in getting men into prison
methods which show lack of official
discretion and simply result in the
manufacture Of criminals. He COM
pared the law, in such cases, to the
car of Juggernaut, crushing manhood.
Somebody, he indicated, should be
clothed with authority to watch the
prison doors and see that moderation
and justice are exercised, with a view
to saving the men.
Speaking of the promises of men, he
said they were not always kept. AS
Abraham Lincoln once wrote in his
book: "He will be good-but God
knows when.' $50 with you legisla-
tors" said the speaker, "you will en-
act some righteous Lawsuit God
knows when! !" The law goes far in
bringing about reform. The majesty
of the law, in prison discipline, bends
and breaks the stubbornness of the
convict then he is ready for better
things. Mr.. Fuller paid his repsects
to the sickly sentimentality from out
side which did so much hurt and put
the lowest criminals into the list of
martyrs, in their own estimation, and
SO almost beyond hope of reformation.
He pleaded for change from the
crazy suits now worn by prison
ers, which he said was more or less
obstructive Of reform, and suggested
that Imprisonment without labor was
the worst thing that could happen to
any man.
Touching on the matter of capital
punishment, he said society must pro-
tect itself; and if it cannot do this
without capital punishment, then the
latter should be sustained. He doubt
ed this, however, and argued against
the death penalty. The deterrent in
fiuence of punishment is much exagger-
ated Shedding blood either lawful
lv or unlawfully is demoralizing
