FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1908.
Under the heading "Only boy The Richmond Journal prints this:

An Ipdianap polls boy who ran away from school was brought before the Juvenile court as incorrigible. Given kindly announcement to state his side of the case. the boy explained that he ran away because when he couldn't read his teacher stood him in a cor ner before the other pupils, and that the reason he couldn't read was be- cause he couldn't see the print in his pchool books. The court physician examined the boy and found that he was totally blind In one eye and that the other was very weak.
 It Is barely possible that the boys teacher was not to blame. though 1t Is not in the least degree probable. A teacher with any regard to justice ard fair treatment would have taken pains to learn why the boy was unable to read before punishing him. and on finding that the deficiency was a phy- Sical one would have reported 1t and had him properly treated. It may be that the teacher hadn't the time to in vestigate, but 1t Is much more proba bIe that 1t was a case of carelessness, in- competency or don't care" But he was ''only a boy"

THE LAST MOCKING BIRD.
BY PHIL H. ARMSTRONG

He doesn't seem to notice that the day3
 are getting cold: He throws his head up sassy an he
 sings so loud and bold. Frum the ole magnolia tree his war
 blings I kin hear, An it somehow sounds so cheerful on the solemn atmosphere
 in the gale, But he jes don't seem to mind it with
 his everlastin' tale. He's little feathered optimist an
 though the cold wind blows. He's a-singin' of the springtime. he's
 a-singin' of the rose.
 he ain't mindin' you; He's singin' of Life's mornin 'an' of
 hearts abeatin' true: He'll tie a rag around his neck an
 sing on till he'll drop. The sky is grey an sober an the limbs
 are gettin' bare
 an driftin' through the air, But the mockin' bird a-swayin' on the
 tree top never knows That it's cold, because he's singfn or
 the springtime and the rose. |,

CURED. The total figures OF the casualties
are not available but seventy bodies were
buried today. This is estimated to be less
than half the total of the killed. Jewish
estimates say that not less than two hun

is enormous. Surgeons have arrived here
from Warsaw to assist the overworked

A feature of the excuses was the bestial-

the massacre were treated. Some of the
corpses were mere masses of pulped flcsh,
the wounded in some cases having scarcely

Effort of Defense.
MISUNDERSTANDING
ON HALF PAY SIX MONTHS, TO
LOSE FIVE NUMBERS.

Secretary Bonaparte has completed his
review of the case OF Capt. Perry Garst.
u. S. N, of the Rhode Island, and has ap-
proved the finding Of the court-martial,
with a modification of the sentence. The
court sentenced Capt. Garst to suspension
from duty for one year. with one-hah sea
pay and the loss of five numbers. Secre-
tary Bonaparte reduced the suspension to
six months His opinion Is as follows:
After carefully considering the record
and also the brief and argument Of Cap
tain Garsts counsel. the department holds
that the accused in this case has been
fairly tried by a competent and impartial
court, whose findings are fully sustained
by the evidence. The captains obligation
of vigilance was, in the departments judg-
ment. not lesSened. but rendered more
imperative by the facts that this was
'shake-down' cruise and that he had no
previous personal acquaintance with the
navigator.
without going into a discussion Of tech
meal questions respecting the course fol-
lowed by the Rhode Island Immediately be-
fore grounding, Ii seems clear that cuipa-
BILE error was made as to the state of the
tide and that. if the testimony of the two
leadsmen Is to be credited, no reason What-
ever being shown why 1t should not be
credited, either insufficient attention was
paid to the soundings or the speed OF the
vessel should have been reduced.
How far the navigator may have been
in fault need not be considered in this case;
his negligence or errors cannot excuse or
palliate those Of the captain: for. as article
54 paragraph of the regulations. says OF
the latter, the command is his and he can
neither delegate the duties of 1t to another
nor avoid It's burdens nor escape its re-
sponsibilities
1.-The department considers that the good
of the service requires the captain of every
war vessel to be held to very strict respon-
sibiiity for the safety of the ship and its
officers and men, 1t Is satisfied. from the
record that the accused failed to discharge
himself of that responsibility. and 1t re-
CARDS an adequate but not an excessive.
punishment as imperativeiy demanded in
his case The findings and sentence of the
court martial are approved. but, in view Of
the courts recommendation to clemency,
the period of suspension from duty on half
sea pay, imposed as part of the sentence,
is reduced from one year to six months

PATENT OFFICE WORK.
Delayed on Account Of the Legislative
Appropriation Bill.

Owing to the failure of Congress to make
the legislative appropriation bill for the
next fiscal year law, the work of the
patent Office. as far as the issuing of the
weekly Gazette and of patents Is con-
cerned. is slowing up and threatens to
come to q standstiil. 1t is already time
that the work on the issue of the Gazette
for July g. the first in the new fiscal year,
should commence, but absolutely nothing
can be done because there is no money on
hand to pay for the printing.
Before this or similar work can be I'M
der.aken the officials having it In charge
are required to certify that the necessary
funds for payment for 1t are available or
will be at a. given time. This 1t Is impossi-
BILE to do.
Unless the bill. which is still In con-
ference, is effective in a very short while
some of the issues OF the Gazette will be
either missed or of necessity very imper-
fectly compiled.
The issuing of patents to inventors will
likewise stop unless something is done very
soon by Congress, since the contracts for
printing cannot be awarded until the money
is actually available.
The patent ONCE Is therefore resting on
its oars, as 1t were. ready to pull ahead
whenever the signal is given, but facing the
possibility OF having the regular flow of its
business greatly disturbed.

EFFORT OF DEFENSE

Green. According to the witness Trues-
dell had said that he was .'sIicker than
Green In getting government business
without being caught"
TruesdelI had bad reputation In and about
Montrose. The witness said he would not
believe Truesden on his oath.
Similar testimony was given by Harrison
II. Conkling OF Montrose, deputy sherin
of that place, and Milton e. Burchard,
clerk OF the court at Montrose. Newton
r. Jones. also of Montrose, said that ne
would not believe Truesdeil under oath II
his interests or prejudice were at stake.
William A. Ellsworth. also OF Montrose.
deputy clerk of the courts there, gave
testimony along the same line.
As to Truesdell's Veracity.
John 8. Cartwright. justice OF the
peace, whose home is near Montrose, and
+. L. Leonard, deputy sheriff OF that
place, testified that Herbert J. Truesdeli.
bore bad reputation tor veracity in that
community. Wellington e. Harvey. the
next witness told of having purchased
farm from Truesdeli near Rush, Pa, IN
1858. His testimony was similar In cnar-
acter to that given by the preceding wit
nesses.
While conducting the cross examination
of Mr.. Harvey. Maj. Conrad sought to in
quire into the relations of an attorney
who formerly represented Truesdeil ana
who, accordingto the testimony given by
several witnesses from Pennsylvania,
was active in securing evidence to be
used in the present case for the purpose
of dscrediting the testimony OF Irues-
dell.
The objection by Mr.. Stanchfield of coun-
sci for the defense was sustained by the
court. Justice Gould Instructed the jury
thai the former relations of the attorney
referred to were not to be considered In this
trial.
In his remarks in this connection Maj.
Conrad charged that the witnesses from
Mcntrose showed evidences of having been
studiously coached and drilled.
Justice Gould today excused the regular
June jury panel In Criminal Court NO. !.
announcing that there would be no more
Jury trials at this term. That action post
pones the trials growing out OF the investi-
cation of land deals in the west until IAN.
The examination of witnesses introduced
to show the reputation of George Il. Green
was begun late this afternoon. They were
questioned about Mr. Green's reputation for
honesty. integrity and uprightness. and de-
clared that the former state senator was
a man of the highest standing In the state
of New York.
Associate Justice Nathan L. Miller OF
the supreme court OF New York was the
first witness called in that connection. Oth-
ers whose testimony followed were Asso-
ciate Justice George T. Lyon OF the supreme
court of New York, Stephen c. Willard OF
Binghamton. former representative. ana
Houston D. Delavean. a business man OF
Binghamton.
Effort Of Defense.
The defendant Doremus took the stand
shortly before O'Clock this afternoon, but
before he was examined adjournment was
taken until tomorrow morning. The under
standing is that the defense will close its
case late tomorrow.
