PRIEST WAS TOO LATE
Wanted To Shrive Giuseppe ALA, Be-
fore He Was Hanged.

DENVER, July l6.-Believing that
Giuseppe Ala, who died on the scat
fold at Canon City last night for the
murder OF Father Leo Heinrich,
would not be hanged until Friday,
Father Bernhard, pastor Of St, Eliza
beths, the. church in which the priest
was killed at the altar, yesterday,
despatched Wulstan to Canon City
for the express purpose Of seeing
Ala and urging upon him repentance
for his deed and to expess to him the
sympathy Of the monks. 1t was
Father Wulstan who administered the
last sacrament of the church to Alias
dying victim and it was the desire
that he perform the same service for
Ala. He was selected for the mis-
sion because he was educated in Rome
and speaks Italian as huently as
native. Father Wulstan left shortly
after noon, before his departure
Father Bernard learned that Ala
would be executed last night, ordered
another priest to proceed to the state
house to personally plead with Acting
Gov Harper for commutation of
the sentence to life imprisonment or
until further efforts could be made to
reclaim the condemned man, This
priest explained to the governor that
the priests of St, Elizabeths bore no
ill will toward Father Leo's assassin
but wished rather that he might live
instead of going to his death with his
soul unshriven.
Acting Gov, Harper refused to
grant the petition, Father Wulstan
did not reach Canon City in time to
see Ala but the prayers Of the monks
went up to heaven again last night
in petition for the soul of Ala.

on the brain. Surgeons have found
that in many cases knocks sustained
in youth, led to a permanent malfor-
nation OF the skull, with the result
that where an indentation had been
made there was pressure on the
brain, which when removed permitted
the brain to resume its normal condi-
ton
But now surgeons are working on
a still more astonishing theory which
Is certain to receive attention at the
newly endowed Phipps hospital. This
theory shifts the cause OF insanity
from the brain to the blood.
No anatomical investigation, micro
seopic or otherwise, has ever availed
to show the least difference in the
condition OF the brain cell or fiber of
a person dying insane or the healthy
brain OF person dying in an accident
With any disease that effects the
other vital organs Of the body the
ravages Of the diseases can instantly
be detected, Holes in the lungs show
the presence OF tuberculosis, harden
ing OF the liver testiies that over
indulgence in liquor has done its
dread work; holes in the intestines
testify the dreadful effect OF periton-
tits heart disease produces unmis-
takeable symptoms on the organ that
does blood pumping, But the brain
tissues show nothing to indicate the
mental disqualification of the deceas-
ed,
This has led to the interesting
theory, now held by many noted ex-
perts, that insanity is a disease of
the blood and not of the brain, They
present the argument that the most
hawless piece sof machinery Is value
less without the fuel that drives, and
so no matter how perfect the brain,
in shape and size, it is Of no value
to its owner unless the right kind
Of blood be pumped through it.

THE SHERMAN ACT.

If any doubt remains on the subject
of the intent of the Sherman Act il
should be disposed of by the fact that
after the courts had specifically ap-
piled the law to the actions OF COM
binations of labor, not only did the
Senate refuse to adopt an amendment
offered by the House exempting
combinations of labor from the oper-
alton OF the act, but Senator Hoar
declared on the floor of the Senate,
February 2l,lo0l, that as chairman of
the Judiciary Committee he had given
several hearings to the representa-
tives of labor organizations, and that
the Brotherhood Of Locomotive En-
gineers had agreed with him that the
amendment exempting combinations
Of labor from the provisions OF the act
ought not to pass. So it appears OF
record that the representatives of the
unions themselves, together with the
distinguished senator whom they
most frequently invoke to prove that
the act was never intended to apply
to them, were both agreed that labor
organizations ought not to be exempt
ed from the criminal provisions Of the
w,American Industries.

New School OF Medical Doctrine
Being Studied
LARGE BEQUEsT IS GIVEN
New Theory Is Gaining Ground That
Mental Derangement Arises From
Diseased Condition Of the Blood
and Not of the Brain.

NEW YORK, July l6-A virtually
new school of medical science, meal
culable in its importance, is fore
shadowed in the gift by Henry Phipps
of $500,00O to the Johns Hopkins
University for the study Of insanity.
Mr.. Phipps has figured in number
OF bequests that had for their aim the
amelioration for physical disorders.
He gave $l,300,000 to found the
Phipps institute for tuberculosis re-
search in Philadelphia, But the gift
to the Baltimore institution is perhaps
even more important, from the fact
that It means he beginning Of treat
ment on big scale of the woes of the
mentally unsound, whose humanitar-
ian effects should be far-reaching.
The purpose OF the institution
which Mr.. Phipps has founded will
be to devote special attention to the
work of prevention, which necessar-
lily includes the aboility to make
correct diagnosis Of each Of these
forms OF disease which upset the deli
cate balances Of the brain,
The funds will pay for the erection

GAME LAWS DEAD LETTER

Common Sense Talk BY an Exchange
Anent Enforcement Of the Come Laws
and Preservation Thereby Of the Prairie
Hen, New Being Slaughtered In Season
=. as Well as Out by the Pot Hunter.
Some one rises to remark that the
fact that farmers treat their grain with
formalin and prairie chickens get to
eat some of it, is what is making chick
ems so scarce all over the state. This
is all a mistake, ventures the Edmore
Herald. The lack of enforcing our
game laws is what is externinating the
prairie chickens, Our game laws
might be all right if they were strictly
enforced, but under the present system
they are a failure. We have state
game warden who does nothing but
draw good salary. He appoints
deputies in each county, and their bus
mess is about the same as the state
warden. These officers see to it that
everybody takes out a permit SO they
will get better ''divvy'' in the fall
and this ends their labors. We believe
that our game laws should be changed
so that there is game warden either
appointed by the board of county COM
missioners, or elected the same az
other county officers and they should
be accountable to the board of COM
missioners for the faithful enforce
ment Of the game laws. Then give
these county wardens the power of ap-
pointing a deputy in every township in
the county, put them under bond to
do their duty and allow them part Of
the permit money as salary, and we
believe that our game laws would be
better lived up to and enforced and
you would not hear any more about
treated grain killing of our prairie
chickens. We venture to say that Eun-
der present conditions there are more
chickens killed Of before the open sea-
son than after. ..9.. 81
