THE DABNERS.
Father aud Son Are Trying TO Work
The Insanity Game.

San Francisco, Dec. 21.--Mental In
capacity in both father and son was
made the basis OF the attempt OF Louis
Dabner 10 secure a withdrawal OF his
former plea OF guilty made IN connec-
ton with the gas-pipe murders before
Judge Cook today, q. +. Hall, attor-
ney for the Young man, admitted that
the Judge had carefully explained the
consequences OF declaring his guilt be-
fore the court, and said that his client
had speculated upon the chances Of
clemency that might be granted him
and was moved TO withdraw the plea
upon realizing the position he had
placed himself In. But, however, thai
may be- Hall asserted. Dabner had act
ed bllndly upon the advice OF a dun
witted father and was unable, more
over to comprehend the meaning Of the
warning of the court
Judge Cook. on hearing the argument,
continued the case TO Jan. 3. He will
probably delay deciding the motion for
change OF plea until after the trial
OF Slemsen, Dabner's co-partner In
crime.

JAPANESE AFTER
PRETTY PHOTOS
When Refused Prints Of Salt
Lake Girls lap Made
Copies.
WAS SENT BY THE MlKAD0.
And Object of Visit Is to Gather sam.
pies of American Photographic
Art for japanese Museum.

The Japanese problem has at last
struck Salt Lake, and at least one of
the city's residents came into still per-
sonal contact with 1t this morning.
The Salt Laker Is photographer.
The Japanese is little brown man
who wants four photographs Of charm
ing Salt Lake girls from his studio.
In making his appeal the japanese stat
ed that he was commissioned by the
mikado to travel all over America in
search of good samples of American
photogr, )hic art, to carry back TO ia
pan ana place in national museum as
an American exhibit.
The four pictures the Jap wanted
were down in street show caae, and
as the photographer didn't make a
practise of giving away prints of photo
graphs taken at his studio without the
permission of the sitters, he refused
the Jap his request. and thought the
matter was concluded
Ii proved to be otherwise, however,
for the Jap had possibly been reading a
Nipponic translation OF the tale about
the man who carried a message to
Garcia, or else valued his commission
from the mlkado above any mere
objections of mere American. This
morning on CHANGING down stairs from
his studio. the photographer, who Is Mr..
Munroe, on west Second South, found
his recent japanese visitor calmly at
work before his show case, with easel
and pencil sketchng the desired faces.
on coming down stairs the photograph
er was surprised to find one OF the
faces completely finished, and done
with remarkable skill and excellence.
II was an almost exact copy Of the
face with the features excellently
brought out. As he knew OF no right
he had to prevent the artists from
copying off the favorlte portraits In
the show case If he wanted to. Mr.
Munroe decided TO count himself out
as beaten. and give the Jap his way,
When asked for the names OF the four
girls 10 whom the Jap artist had taken
fancy, Mr.. Munroe refused 10 be in
terylewed, but others who watched the
oriental at his work identified them
as Mrs Carpenter, the leading lady at
the Grand theatcr In AT Cripple
Creek Mrs. Hates, who recently came
here from Denver, and Miss De Armes
and Miss Robinson OF Salt Lake.
The effort of the Jap to obtain the
copies Is illustrative OF the system now
in vogue of sending Japanese out 10
gather In from all the four corners OF
the globe, samples Of the latest achieve
ments in every line Of effort.

Thousands and Thousands Of
Industrial Workers Killed
Annually.
BY ACCIDENT AND NEGLIG ENCE
In Four Years 10000 More Peo-
Pile so Killed Than in Four
Years of Civil War.
DR.. Josiah Strong Says That Today
$4,000 Persons I'm u. s. Under
Sentence of Death.

New York, Dec 27--Important steps
are to be taken in the city and else
where 90 establish system Of compul-
sorry and accurate records Of the en-
ormous number Of persons who are an
ually killed and injured in Americas
vast army OF industrial workers. In
New York City alone thousands are
killed through accident and negligence
as SHOWN by the reports of the DEPART
ment of health and these reports are
said TO be incomplete.
For two weeks, beginning on Jan. %.
am exposition will be held In this clty
under the auspices OF the American
Institute of Social Service for the pur-
pose of studying and exhibiting safety
devices for dangerous machinery, meth
DDS OF industrial hygiene and to set In
motion the movement to establish q
more accurate record OF industrial Ia
talities and accidents In all parts of
the country.
DR. Josiah Strong, president OF the
American institute Of social service, i'll
speaking of the number of persons
killed each year In our industrial oc-
equations, made some astonishing
comparisons.
1--WE in the United States kill In four
years some $4,000 persons more than
fell In battle and died Of wounds dur
ING the four years OF the Civil war. We
are killing more than twice as many
every year as persisted by violence
in both the French and English armies
during the three years OF the Crimean
war
There are more killed and wounded
on our railroads every year than the
entire losses of the Boer war on both
sides IN three years We have indus
trial casualties enough every year to
keep one conflict like our war with
Spain going on 1000 years. or IL such
wars going on for 100 years. Our peace
full vocations cost more lives every two
days than were lost In battle during
the entire Spanis< war.
From the best statistics obtainable
! may say there are today $4,000 per-
sons IN the United States under sem
tenoe OF death to be executed at an
unknown moment during the next 10
years--l.l 100 next week and the same
number every week until the CHASTITY
work Is complete. An intelligent and
earnest effort would procure the re-
prieye OF q multitude OF these inno-
cent victims"
