ORIGIN OF CRIME.
In Hazel Case 1t Is Traced to Mistake
of His Teacher.

Toledo. O., Dec PA teachers
mistake years ago is said to have re-
suited in Don Harvey Hazel becoming
the murderer of his mother
Hazel was last night found guilty
of killing his parent, and was SEN
fenced to life Imprisonment in the
Ohio penitentiary. When the boy
was going to school in the earlier part
of his life-he is now 17-his tutor,
unintentionally, called him Hazel when
she wanted him to recite or to do
something for her. This continued for
some time. the teacher not knowing
that Hazel was the pupils last name
The boy resented the appellation. as
there were two girls in his class named
Hazel. When the teacher learned her
error, she apologized, but Hazel did
not let the matter rest. He played
truant for two weeks and concealed
the fact from his parents The parents
were notified. Fearing he would be
severely punished the lad ran away.
became a tramp, and evil association
ruined him.
On January II. 1908, he returned to
his parents home in Toledo and slew
his mother, by hitting her over the
head with hammer. His father re-
turned from work that night and
found the mother and wife dead on
the kitchen floor. Money and jeweIry
had been stolen from a room upstairs
The police that night arrested Harvey
at the home of a woman. He con-
fessed According to the jury's YER

parole. He smiled when the jury gave

FLAW In BIG LENS.
Largest Glass Ever Cast Found to Be
| UnServiceable.

Pasadena. Cal. Dec. 24.-An I'M
pleasant surprise greeted the authori-
ties of the Mount Wilson observatory
when the great 100 inch glass-the
largest ever caSt-was unwrapped
from it's packings. and after the first
grinding began a large flaw was found
so that the casting will have to be
thrown away and a new one made.
This will delay for many months the
construction of the great eight foot
reflection mirror on the peak.
The casting of the great glass disk
was done in Goblain, France, and the
cost was $4,000. DIR. George E. Hale
stated that instructions as to making
another would be telegraphed at once
to France. He believes that in time a
perfect lens may be turned out even
of so great a size

UNCLE SAM IS WILLING.
China Wants to Raise Her Legation to
an Embassy.

Pekin. Dec. 24.-The foreign office
received a cablegram from Tang Shao
vi. at Washington, saying that the
Washington government has respond
ed favOTably to the proposal made by
China to raise the Chinese legation at
Washington to the rank of an embassy.
Tang Shao vi is the Chinese official
who is at present in the United States
on a diplomatic mission from his gov
eminent
Americans here are heartily in SYM
pathy with the efforts of Tang Shao
vi in this direction. The American
formation on this subject. but the
members thereof recognize the wisdom
of paying due consideration to the
sensibilities of China in the matter of
diplomatic representations. China is
very sensitive on the subject of an
equal diplomatic footing with Japanese
especially since the episode of the visit
of the American battleshipS at Annoy.
Only half the American fleet visited
the Chinese port. while all the sixteen
vessels went to Yokohama. Further
more, anything that contributes to the
success of the mission of Tang Shao
vi will tend to strengthen the efforts
here of Yuan Shat Kai and others in
the work of reforming the court
When Tang Shao vi left Pekin he
went first to Toxic and there preached
the subject of raising the Chinese lega-
ton to an embassy. He received an
equivocal answer.

GRAFT SCANDAL HALTS
But Another Raid Is Expected in
Pittsburg Shortly.

Pittsburg. Pa. Dec. 24.-While the
graft scandal of Pittsburg has been
halted insofar as the making of ad-
ditiopaI arrests Is concerned. it is in
pCrals.
Apparently both the prosecution
and defense, officially and unofficially
known, are getting their second
wind,'' following the sensational de-
velopments of yesterday. 1t is said
the efforts of the investigators will
now be directed toward others impli-
Gated in the alleged corruptions as the
seven councilmen and two former
bankers, arrested Monday night, have
been held for court.
One of the probers stated today
quick action was necessary as I'M
doubtedly other persons guilty OF
grating were frightened and making
endeayorS to eliminate any trace or
their participation.
Rumors are being circulated today
that a second raid will soon be made
against councilmen and business men
who are charged with corrupting the
councils The Voters League of Pitts
burg is said to have prepared twenty
two warrants for the arrest of these
persons.
Already plans are on foot to give the
nine defendants a court trial as soon
Attorney Blakely, who has taken
charge of the matter now, will present
the cases to the grand jury early next
month. BY the latter part of Feb
ruary it is expected the court trials
will be under way.
1t is probable that there will not
be a councilmanic investigation of the
scandal According to a leading in
dependent member rof the councils
such an investigation would give no
substantial results and the consensus
of opinion is that councils as a body
should do nothing but allow the af-
fair to take it's course in the courts.
According to statement by
member of the Voters league, a great
number of prominent and wealthy
Pittsburgers have hurried to the
front to offer any assistance in max
ing the clean up complete. The
Voters league depends on donations of
money to carry on its work and nu-
merous wealthy citizens have told it

AUTO INJURIES EIGHT.
1t Becomes Unmanageable On a
Crowded New York Street.

New York, Dec. 24.-An automobile
which became unmanageable on Broad
way late last night during the after
theater crush, injured eight persons,
two of whom may die. Cornelius F.
Fox, a real estate dealer, and David
Mandel, a writer were the most seri-
ously injured, and were taken to
Roosevelt hospital, where slight hope
was expressed for Fox's recovery. The
other man was injured internally.
Just as the crowd was streaming out
of the Astor and Gaiety theaters, the
big touring car was seen to dash down
Broadway, skidding on the icy asphalt,
apparently completely disarranged as to
it's steering gear. for the chauffeur
seemed powerless to check it. A police
man, seeing that the car was creating
a panic, leaped into the machine at
Forty-fourth street and few moments
later the chauffeur was again able to
steer it. Turning back, the machine
traversed the block between F'orty-ffth
and Forty-sixth streets, looking for
those that had been injured. Eight
persons were found. They were lifted
into the car and taken to hospital.

serious.
Charles LOCKER, her son. burned
about the head and face.
Harrison LOCKER. another son, hands
and arms burned.
David Mullen, a fireman, burned
about the hands and face.
Mullen received his burns in saving
the life of Mrs. LOCKER.
He rushed up a ladder to window,
from which Mrs. LOCKER was about TO
lump to the ground five stories below,
shouting encouragement to the woman
and telling her not to jump. Although
the flames were pressing close oenlnu
her she waited and was reaching out
to meet Mullen's arms when she faint
ed and fell back into the blazing room
Without a moments hesitation Mulleh
plunged headIong after her through the
window from which clouds of smoke
and tongues of flame were swirhng-
When he found Mrs. LOCKER lying un-
conscious on the floor, her night cloth-
ing ablaze, he beat out the flames with
his bare hands. tore off his coat ana
wrapped it around her to protect her
from the flying embers and the herce
heat and started for the return. by
this time the room was almost like a
furnace but Mullen succeeded in get
ting the unconscious woman to the
window and then half way down the
ladder where his companions were
waiting Mrs. LOCKER was rushed to a
hospital but she had been terribly
burned and it is possible she may not
recover.

BIG RAILROAD MOVE.
Hill Beat Everybody Else to the Col
OradO Southern.

Chicago, Dec. 24-The Inter-Ocean
today in news article says:
Perhaps never before has the rail-
road world been more at sea as to the
motive of the purchase of one railroad
by another than in the case of the &C
QUESTION of the Colorado & Southern
by the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
and its transfer to the Hill system.
The ruling motive, in all probable
1ty, lay In the fact that the Colorado
& Southern has been making surveys
for new line from Grin Junction,
winch is in the southeastern corner of
Wyoming, northward through the
wyoming and Montana state line to
point east of Billings and to a con-
nection with the J ew Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul line.
The Hill interests have been cog
infant of the surveys There was at
least the probability that the new con-
nection would be of material aid to
the St. Paul line, and conversely, by
so much, detrimental to the Hill sys-
tenn, and it appears that Mr.. Hill sim
ply jumped in first and purchased the
control of a railroad that was on the
counter for sale.
Mr.. Hill can never permit the Col
orado & Southern to remain in its
present shape. The road, near it's
northern terminals in Wyoming con-
meets with the Burlington near the
North Platte river and again at Chey-
enne; but from here southwark the
COlOFaQO southern merely mas
trackage rights over the Union Pa
cific into Denver, so that it will be
necessary for Mr.. Hill to connect
Cheyenne with Denver unless he
wishes to use the Union Pacific track
age.
1.-THE indications are that the next
move on the railroad map will be the
acquisition of the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas by new interests, perhaps by the
ST. Paul, but more likely by Edwin
Hawley.
THE st. Paul could use the Mis-
souri,, Kansas & Texas to good advan-
tage as a Gulf outlet, principally for
export grain. But st. Paul has about
as much on it's hands now as it cares
for probably
MIR. Hawley has just disposed Of
his Colorado & Southern. With his
Toledo, St. Louis & Western, ex-
tending from Detroit to st. Louis, and
his Chicago & Alton, stretching from
Chicago to st. Louis with an arm to
Kansas City. the Missouri Kansas &
Texas would make of the whole
great chain $500 miles in length
from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of
Mexico"

BIG AVIARY PLANNED.
1t Is Proposed to Stock Imperial Val
ley With Song Birds.

Brawley. Cal, Dec. PA novel
idea is being evolved for the stocking
of Imperial valley with song birds. If
the scheme is carried to perfection.
Brawley will have an aviary which
may become one of the curiosities of
southern California.
Rev H Eumme1en. Catholic priest
for the parish of Imperial valley, pro-
poses to locate at Brawley an immense
aviary, which shall enclose with wire
netting an area of trees and shrubs.
Within this he proposes to place male
and female birds of all chimes, includ-
ing the meadow lark, nightingale,
thrush and familiar songsters of the
United States.
AS the birds propagate it is the pur-
pose of Father Eummelen to turn
them out into the open.
