YOUNG SAVES HIS NECK
Pleads Guilty to Murder in
Second Degree.
IMPRISONED FOR LIFE
GRANDSON OF THE NOTED NOR
MON PROPHET.
Peremptory and Sensational Ending Of
Trial That Attracted Attention
Throughout Country.

NEW YORK, February Civilian Hoo
per Young. on trial for the killing Of Mrs.
Anna Pulitzer. pleaded guilty today to
murder in the second degree, and was SEN
tenced to imprisonment for life.
Justice Herrick explained that he had adj
vised Young's counsel to change his plea,
and also advised the district attorney to
accept It, this action being taken because
OF the prisoners mental condition. Accord
ing to the report Of the doctors he was not
insane in the legal aspect Of insanity. but
from a purely medical point of view he Is
not sane.
+ In sentencing Young the justice said:
There is no occasion now for me to
make any remark as to the enormity Of
your offense. You are aware of the pen
atty of your crime. The sentence of the
court is that you be confined in state
prison at Sing Sing at hard labor for the
term of your natural life"
Story Of the Crime.
The nude body of a pretty woman OF the
blonde type was found In the Morris canal,
between Jersey City and Newark, on Thurs
day, September 10, last year 1t had been
revealed by the receding tide. which left 1t
exposed. Wound about the body was
leather strap attached to a weight, such as
is used in holding horses when left standing
in the street. The weight evidently had
been attached to the body to sink 1t. In the
abdomen of the corpse was a long and
CHASTITY cash. apparently made with knife
The head bore several Commissions. All jew
elry had been removed from the body, and
it bore nothing by which it could be identi-
fled.
Later in the day Joseph P. Pulitzer Of
16O West 48th street. New York, called at
the Jersey City morgue and identified the
body as that Of his wife. His attention had
been called to a description Of the corpse In
an afternoon paper. He explained that his
wife had left her home about mldnishI
Tuesday to buy some food. He arrived
home a few minutes before II o'clock and
told her he was very tired, having worked
at the primaries during the day. She sug-
gested buying him some fruit. took OH ner
five diamond rings before going out and
nayer returned to the house.

Smoke Laws Of Other Cities.

SAOnS AAowo VI SIuSI N1I10S.
Mr.. mcfarland submitted the following
synopsis Of the smoke laws Of other cities
as follows:
1.-The emission Of dense smoke is for
| hidden in the following Cities no exception
being made even In favor Of private resi-
dences: Indianapolis, MINNEAPOLIS and ST
Paul. In Indianapolis the emission Of smoke
without reference to its density Is forbidden
II the smoke contains SCOT or other SUBJ
stance so as to create nuisance in fact
The emission of dense smoke, except
from buildings used for private residences,
is forbidden in the following cities: Chi
cago. Memphis, Milwaukee, New York and
Omaha.
"In Albany the emission of offensive or
deleterious smoke from any mandatory
or place Of business is forbidden except
when authorized by the board Of health.
''1n the following cities the emission in
excess Of specified periods of dense, dark
or gray smoke is forbidden: Boston and
Denver
I'm the following cities the emission of
smoke is forbidden If such emission con-
stitutes a nuisance In fact: Buffalo. Gin
ctnnati, Detroit, Kansas City and Yonkers
In the following cities legislation is
directed against the construction and main
tehance OF furnaces not designed so as to
prevent smoke: Cleveland, New Orleans, St.
Louis and Toledo.
1.-THE following cities have no law for the
prevention OF smoke nuisance: Baltimore.
q.
burg and San Francisco" -.
DR.. Woodward's Remarks,
DR.. William c. Woodward, the health Of
fcer, followed with further remarks in op-
position to any amendment Of the law. He
said while 1t had been represented to the
subcommittee that the business men of this
city are interested in the identifying of the
city and that their opposition to the smoke
law was not because they were not inter-
ested in that work. yet In other cities It
had not been found that such interests were
| sufficient to protect the people from the
| smoke nuisance.
DR.. Woodward called attention to the
wording Of the law for the prevention of
smoke, which does not apply to smoke, but
only to dense or thick black or gray
smoke"
$50 far as recall" he said. mot one Of
the speakers denied the possibility of pre-
venting smoke Of that nature. The general
| remarks Of those favoring this amendment
were directed to the possibility Of prevent
Ing smoke as smoke"
He said this was not fair time to Judge
OF what the smoke law has accomplished
as the fuel market has been such that the
proper kind of coal could not be secured
The Commissioners have taken cognizancs
OF that fact and have not prosecuted any
one since the fuel famine
They have continued the observation OF
these stacks and Of the fuel market.
1t was no reply to the contention made
under the law that smoke should not be
prevented because single stack does not
| involve nuisance. While 1t might not be
| easy to show nuisance In the case of q
| singlesstack, yet in the aggregate the smoke
from ali the stacks would form q nuisance.
| No prosecution for violating the smoke
nuisance had been made on any single In

and Ferocity.
The krakcn was one of the sea
monsters OF old. and II all the stories
told about its wondrous size and do
ings are true II overshadowcd the ser.
pent as much as the latter does the
common garter snake. Dandelaus de-
clarcs that this marine giant caused
tidal waves by swallowing a goodly
part Of the waters of the ocean and
then belching them out again. He
also makes mention of the fact that
its gigantic horny beak was often
mistaken for mountain peaks sud.
denly showed into sight by the inter.
nal commissions Of the earth. Bishop
Pontoppidan, a truthful member of
the Copenhagen Royal Academy. is
much more conservative In his esti.
mates of its size. giving II as his opin.
ion that they were seldom found more
than "thc half of an Italian mile in
length and not larger In diameter than
the cathedral at The Hague"
He also says that its body was fire..
Guently mistaken by sailors for an
island. so that people landed upon 1t
and were engulfed in a malestrom of
water when the creature sank to its
hidden ocean den." Other authorities
testify that its beak, from the eyes to
the point. was longer than the main.
mast of a man.of.war."
