and the hearty applause given him as
he finished came as tribute of honest
admiration. In closing the speaking,
President Penrose spoke concerning
Dr. Pearsons as follows:
TN Doctor Pearsons is a strain of
contradiction. He has puzzled his
business associates by his life of con-
tradiction. For two generations he has
been. one of the most successful of
Chicago's most successful business
men, and one of the shrewdest. AMI
he has surprised his close fisted as
sociates by his openhandedness. His
close fisted business associates are
surprised by the contradictory veins
in his nature, that of having the abil-
ity to make money and the dispositi On
to give it away. You must think Of
him not only as a rich man, and q
generous one, but one who has bee
cHme rich and great through his own
efforts, who has made his money with
the purpose of giving it to aid boys
whom he has never seen, girls whom
he never expects to see. Contradic
tory, but satisfactorily so, and great

thropist is the mon who has helped

Unique Plea Entered to
Save Bohemian HypnOtiSf

CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-That Herman
Billek, the Bohemian hypnotist and
fortune teller who was convicted of the
murder of several members of the
Vrzal family, is legally dead, is the
novel plot to be made by Attorney
Hinckley before Judge Barnes in an
attempt to save Bilek from the gall
lows when the court cOnvenes to pro-
nounce sentence on the "evil-eye" pois-
NOner tomorrow.
Blek was sentenced to be hanged
last summer. The day of execution
came, but the United States court took
hand in the case and Billek was
given leave to appeal to the supreme
court of the United States. That court
found that it had no jurisdiction and
the case came back to Judge Barnes

PUBLIC SCHOOLS
TO CLOSE EARLY

DR.. n. G. Blalock, president of the
board of education and president of
the board of trustees of Whitman col
lege announced this afternoon that the
public schools will be dismissed to-
morrow and Wednesday afternoons at
2o'clock in order that the instructors
and pupils may attend the sessions
Of the Educational congress, and they
will be expected to be present. All
functions connected with the congress
are free to the public with the excep-
ton of the banquet which is to %
given Wednesday evening.

for re-sentence. 1t is now claimed
that in the absence of any order re-
scinding or postponing the previous
sentence of death, Billek, in legal the
ory, is already dead, and hence cannot
be sentenced to pay any penalty what
soever.
1t is not considered likely that this
plea will be upheld by the court and it
is highly probable that the arch
poisoner will again be sentenced to be
hanged by the neck until dead"
Catholic priests and sisters were active
in attempting to prove Billek's innocence
but while their efforts have tended to
discredit some of the evidence adduced
at the trial. it has not been sufficient
to remove Billek from the shadow of
the gallows.

attention on last Friday when Essie

husband and helpless baby cannot be
