Talks of Children.
The feature of the proceedings on
Tuesday was an address by Dr. E. p.
ST. John of Hartford, Conn, upon The
Child Life" DR. St John has devoted
twenty years to the study of children
and their government. He made sew
eral good points. One was that the
people should not be impatient with
the baby under one year, of age, be
cause he is restless, as that is the
greatest period of his physical develop
ment in life.
The doctor went on record against
the cruelty of compelling children in
church or Sunday school to occupy the
big seats used by the adults. He de
scribed how the position of the child, /
in which it is niece ssariiy placed, |
would amount to cruelty to adults if
their feet were compelled for "a long
space of time to hang in the air. He
also argued that children should be
given physical exercise before being
required to engage in prayer in rigid |
position with bowed head. He said |
that in the East the custom was also
To give a certain amount of arm exer-
else before prayer was offered.
He also stated that it was a wrong /
policy and an ignorance of child ma
ture to ever say to the little boy or
girl. Don't but that rightly used
and persuasions would ac
anything desired.

| and then dragging the body into the
woods and carefully covering it up with
brush The murder itself was commit
ted on the highway and it was the
great pools Of blood left along the road
which furnished the clue that led 90
the discovery of the crime on the next
day. The motive for the crime, as Civ
en- by Prcble himself, was that Heath
had threatened to shoot him for kick
ing his dog and he believed that he
meant what he said. This happened
about fortnight before the murder
and from that time until the day he
slew Heath Preble had been planning
to take the life of the young man who
finally became his victim.
The murder took place shortly after
6 o'clock, May II. According to his
confession it had been Preble's first
intention to Stay Heath with revolt
Yer if he could gain possession of one,
knowing that Heath had one he wrote
note on the afternoon on which the
tragedy occurred, signing IIcatn's
name. and carried it to IIe;til'g i..u;l-

Mrs. Heath was suspicious IL M

send the revolver, but allowed Trcblc
to depart with the bicycle Prcble later
returned to the house with statement
that he had seen Heath at his place
of employment and that he had chang
ed his mind and did not want the 70
vOlvcr.
According to the confession he made
when arraigned Preblc then went to hrs
home, secured the shot gun and hid it
in the woods near the place where
Heath worked He then went to the
Williams mill and waited for his vic
tim to finish his work for the dav.
When he came out he joined him and
the two started to walk home together
When they reached the place Whnr,

weapon and the two continued on thojr
way until they reached Il point near

of going to the village that night and
had friends there to whom he made oc-
| casional visits. When young HEATH
! failed to return home that night his
father was surprised, but not greatly
alarmed. When he failed to come home
the next morning his father grew sus-
| piCiOuS and started out to investigate
| the investigation resulting in the find
| ing of the body and the subsequent ar
rest of Prcble.
| On the day of his arrest Preble told
a Journal man that he committed the
lact in full realization of it's conse-
| quences. He said he knew he could not
escape detection for any length of time
and was fully determined before his ar
rest to go to Bath and give himself up
! He expressed no regret for his act and
seemed to consider the threat made by
Heath as at least partial justification
| for his crime.
| His reputation previous to the COM
mission of the murder was not an envi-
! able one. He had served two terms in
| the Reform School. once for stealing
and once for another offence. He made
4 very favorable appearance. however.

After being bound over for trial
Preble. while confined in the Auburn
jail opened negotiations with counsel
TO represent linn at the trial and in
other ways had 4 realizing sense of the
prcdicamcnt into which his act had
brought him. a few weeks ago it was
limited that the plea of insanity might
be made at the trial and on order of
the court he was brought to the In
sane hospital in Augusta for observa-
ton as to his mental condition.
He was closely observed ana those
whose business il was to watch him

was not in all respects in normal
mental condition, he was not by any

statements in this regard are backed

ATHLETICS WILL WIN,
Opinion Of Manager Frank Chance of
the Chicago Cubs.

Chicago, Sept. 5.-Managcr F'ranl
Chance Of the Chicago National League
club, whose team will meet the cham
pions Of the American League in 4 post
season series for the worlds champion
ship, believes that the Philadelphia
Athletics will be the Cubs opponents
He says:
while all my men and myself are
pulling for the White Sox to win the
American League pcnnant we feel that
the Philadelphia Athletics have the
better chance.
Naturally, we have the greatest adj
miratinn for the gamcncss and play
ing ability Of the White Sox.
My only chance of judging Of what
is likely to happen in the American
League race is from what | read in the
papers, and what I hear from the play
ers. as we meet them occasionally
Il saw two of the Detroit games last
week, ana was impressed with the
playing strength of the Tigers, but af-
ter talking with Jennings and a few of
his men, / am led to believe that The
Athletics will win Even the Detroit
players think this wey. They told HE
so.
Everybody to whom I have spoken
has given the same reasons why the
Athletics should win. Connie Mack's
pitchers are strong right now, and the
break Of the schedule gives the team a
long session at home. These are ire
mendous items, I can tell you.
"Of course the Chicago National
League club has yet to win the PEN
nant. but we will win it for one very
good reason: the club is far and away
above the other clubs in the league in
playing strength. and is the best base
ball team over assembled in this league
or any other.
Naturally, we should like to meet
the White SoX-splcndid fellows. all of
them-in the final series, but it now
looks very much as though we would
meet Connie Mack's team instead"
