JONES DRINKING HIMSELF TO
DEATH BY COURTS SENTENCE
KANSAS CITY UNFORTUNATE'S
AWFUL PLIGHT
Scion of influential Family Victim of
Liquor Curse Made by Judge to
Endeavor to End His Life by Keep
ing Drunk
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO April 1S.-Condemned by
court of justice to get drunk and
remain so until drink killed him, Selby
Jones, son of former prominent
wholesale hardware merchant of Kan
sas City, Mo-, came to Chicago to obey
the sentence of court. Without means
last Sunday to continue the debauch
judiciously imposed on him, but suf-
fciently intoxicated to resort to any
expedient to carry into effect the re-
markable penalty, he stole a travelling
salesman's valise and sample case
and was arrested.
Yesterday having been held to the
grand jury for larceny, Jones was
transferred from police station to the
county Jail; thoroughly sober and, for
the time at least, contrite and eager
to start life anew.
Jones' efforts to satisfy his parole by
drinking himself to death have con-
tinued since March 6, when Judge
Wofford of the criminal court in Kan
sas City pronounced this duty:
IF you'll get drunk and stay drunk
I'll let you out of Jail. You must leave
the city. Only remember, you must
get drunk and stay drunk You're a
bad man, and whisky will take you to
the devil faster than anything else.
The sooner the devil gets you the bet
ter. If you don't live up to these con-
ditions I'll put you In jail and keep
you there"
Next day Jones, furnished by some
influential friends with transportation
to Chicago and sufficient money to tide
him over two months, left the city
where he had made his home for twen-
ty years, saying farewell to his aged
mother, whose prayers, as he peered
through the bars of the cell yesterday,
still rang in his ears.

WIRE OPERATORS
WILL LABOR
TILL EXHAUSTED

Business is so congested at the Los
Angeles offices of the Postal and West
ern Union offices that none of the OPP
orators will quit or ask to be relieved
until they are exhausted.
Probably 1000 personal messages for
San Francisco asking about loved ones
had been filed by dark.
Besides these thousands of words OF
newspaper matter were received and
sent hourly.
At midnight the Chicago wire had
1900 messages for San Francisco, $50 for
Los Angeles.
The crowds began to accumulate in
telegraph offices almost upon the first
receipt of the news and every plan was
resorted to to secure news from the
wrecked city. High prices were offered
for immediate transmission of mes
sages and q great deal of difficulty was
found by the employees of the telegraph
companies in convincing their half
frenzied patrons that wires were down
and service impossible to the wrecked
city.
The eastern wires had not suffered in
the wreck of San Francisco, and early
in the morning inquiries began to pour
IN from all parts Of the world asking

SURVIVOR OF THE
BENNINGTON FALLS
TO FLOOR IN FAINT

Crazed with fear that some OF his
friends had been killed in the San
Francisco earthquake, and with nerves
oyerwrought from reading the many
extras that were printed yesterday py
Los Angeles papers, John Mansnelu,
supposed to be one OF the surElHoIs .t
of fhe Remington disaster. fell rant
ing to the floor in front of the cigar
stand at the Natick hotel at 6:SO
o'clock last evening.
According to the story that Mans
field has told when he seemed to be
in his right mind he was the hospital
steward on the Bennington when 1t
blew up on July 21 of last year. Many
of the seamen were killed and a steer
splinter was driven into Mansfield
head.
of his skull has been removed, but
the surgeons could not remove the
steel splinter without killing him. They
have told him that he has not more
than two years to live.
Visited San Francisco
For sometime Mansfield was at Mare
Island in the hospital, but was all
lowed great deal of freedom and
frequently visited San Francisco,
where he made many friends, accord
ing to stories he has told.
Day before yesterday he was found
sitting on the curbstone near the Har-
ward Military school by President
Halves OF that institution. Mansfield
told Mr.. Halves that he was going to
Venice, but that he was walking be-
cause he had no money.
Mr.. Halves noticed that the man was
in very weak condition and took him
to the Natick house where one of the
best rooms was secured at Mr.. Halves
expense.
Mansfield says that he has a pension
of $72 month, but that it isn't due un-
til June.
Yesterday he eagerly scanned every
extra that he could secure and last
night fell in faint and did not be-
come conscious for an hour and half.
Called Orders to Bystanders
During the fainting spell he evident
ly was under the impression that he
was still on board the Bennington and
called out orders to those around him.
A doctor was called in and several
of the guests gave aid in quieting the
man. Mrs. Russell, one of the guests
who was at one time nurse, sue
ceeded in soothing him.
1t was finally decided to call an am
bulance and Mansfield was taken to a
hospital from the hotel.

Says He Is Not Possible As

cratic Ticket
PRINCIPLES WILL NOT PERMIT
Declares Hearst Cannot Be Candidate
Of New York Democracy Because Of
His Announcement That He Will
Run Only pn Principles Advocated
by the Independence League.

Utica, N. Y, July 2S.--Former Judge
today, discussed the coming state cleo
ton He declared the democratic
party was rich In men who could fill
the office of governor. and mentioned
among others ex-Judge d. Cady Her
rick, John b. Stanchtield, Mayor Adam,
OF Buffalo. Francis Burton Harrison.
John G. Milburn. William Church Os
borne, William Travers Jerome. JUS
tice William Il. Gaynor, Martin w.
Littleton and Edward NJ. Grout. Par
ker said while with possibly two ex-
ceptions none of these men was a
candidate, yet he did not believe any
of them would refuse to serve II called
upon. But" said the interviewer,
you have not mentioned Hearst, who
is discussed every day as a candidate"
The last utterance Of Hearst l have
read" said the judge, was to the eff
feet that he intended to accept the
nomination of the Independence
League. He stated in an interview in
the Brooklyn Eagle of June 18th: If
am nominated by the independence
party, it will be on platform that
expresses the principles / believe, and
will make the campaign on that plat
form, and no other consideration will
enter into the matter. There will be
no deal or bargain made with the lead-
ers Of any political machine. but every
one endorsing the sentiments Of the
independence party, will be invited to
support its candidate That language
is uifambiguous and announces clearly
his intention to be a candidate ON the
platform only of the independence
League
But" said the interviewer ut is as
serted in many quarters and indeed
believed that the Independence
League was organized to compel the
democratic party to accept Hearst as
it's nominee"
"While I know" the judge replied,
that such assertions are constantly
made and some delegates to the dem
ocratic convention favorable to
Hearst have been chosen, it would
seem as IL all this should be credited
TO over-zealous friends, for certainly
Hearst is too shrewd man to believe
ut possible that the democratic con-
vention will ever be made up Of dele
gates so absolutely pusillanimous as to
surrender to one demanding that the
party deliver up to him the honor and
power he covets, or suffer defeat"

The whole situation was gone over

used to gain control of the conven-
