ASKED FOR HELP
The President Sends Out an
Appeal in Behalf of the
Starving Chinese.
viii Ask Congress for Authority to
Use Government Transports to
Carry Food to Millions Of Hun.

Washington. President Roosevelt
has issued a proclamation calling on
the people Of the Uni.Uls States to
contribute fupSs-ior the relief of the
millions eteEamine sufferers in China,
who ar, on the verge of starvation.
The president says that he will ask
congress- for authority to use govern.
ment transport vessels to carry food
to the famine stricken region. The
proclamation is as follows:
"To the People of the United States:
There is an appalling famine in
China. Throughout a district covering
over 10000 square miles and support
ing a population of 100000 the crops
have been destroyed by floods, and
millions of people are on the verge of
starvation. Thousands of dwellings
have been destroyed and their inmates
are without homes. An urgent appeal
has been made for the assistance of
the United States.
"Our people have often under sim.
liar conditions of distress in other
countries responded generously to
such appeals. Amid our Astounding
prosperity and in this holiday season
of good will to man, assuredly we
should do our part to aid the unfortu.
nate and relieve the distressed among
the people of China, to whom we have
been allied for so many years in friend.

Il shall ask congress upon its next
day of session for authority to use our
transport vessels to carry -four and
other food to the famine stricken re-
gion.
II recommend that contributions for
the purchase of such food and other
appropriate relief be sent to the Am

take care of the expenditures.
"Such contributions may be made

SAVED BY JURY.
Youth Who Brutality Killed
His Father With an AK
Declared Insane.
The Verdict Was Received With Much
Disfavor in Spokane, There Being
Talk ofTar and Feathers for
Jurymen.

Spokeane, Wash.-"Not guilty by
reason of insanity" was the verdict
returned by the jury in the case Of
Sidney Sloane, the 18-year-old. boy
charged with the brutal murder of his
father, James F. Sloane, a pioneer
merchant of Spokane.
The trial, which has lasted FIVE
weeks, was the longest and most SEN
sational ever held in Spokane court.
1t was clearly proved that on the
night of August 10Th the boy came BE-.
hind his father, who was eating mid
night lunch, and struck him six terri
BILE blows on the lead with an axe;
then took money from the dead mans
pocket, picked up the corpse, carried
1t down stairs. loaded it into wheel
barrow, trudled it about two blocks
and dumped the body of his father in
an alley. Returning, he made clumsy
efforts to wash the blood from the
rugs and floor of the room. He att
part of an apple and calmly went to
bed.
When the body was found nexs
morning he was quickly arrested and
confessed the crime. He said he be-
came enraged at things his father
said about his mother.
The defense claimed the boy HAD
shown signs of insanity from infancy.
No verdict ever given by jury in
Spokane county has been received
with more evident disfavor than that
in the Sloane case. An insanity YER
dict was almost beyond the hopes OF
even the prosecution and the result
was heard with surprise and greeted
with dissatisfaction here. There Is wild
talk of tar and feathers for the jury
and lynching for the boy, but no real
danger that either will occur.
After the verdict of mot guilty.
young Sloane arose as If to leave the
court room but was stopped. His at
torney, F. c. Robertson, desires that
the boy shall be sent to the insane
asylum and this will doubtless be
done
