HAMS SENTENCE
IS EIGHT YEARS
UNDER CONVICTION OF MAN.
SLAUGHTER FOR KILLING
WILLIAM e. ANNIS.
Will GO TO SING SING
JUSTICE SAYS NO PERSON MAY
ASSUME TO ACT AS JUDGE
AND ExECUTIoNER.

Flushing. N. Y-Unless some un-
looked for legal obstacle is interposed,
Capt. Peter C, Hams, Jr., U. S. A.,
who was convicted of manslaughter
in the first degree for killing William
Il. Annis at the Bayside Yacht club
last August, will be taken to Sing Sing
Tuesday and at once will begin serving
the sentence imposed by Justice Gar
retson in the Supreme Court
The sentence is indeterminate, un-
der which the minimum period of i'm
prisonment will be eight years and the
maximum sixteen years.
Counsel for Hams late Monday prac-
tically agreed to their clients immc-
date transfer to Sing Sing, when they
announced after a consultation with
General Hams, his father, and Major
John P. Hams, brother, that no ap.
plication would be made for certifl-
cate of reasonable doubt to act as
stay of execution. An appeal, based
on the general court record in the
case, will be taken in regular course.
Upon learning the decision of coun-
self, the sheriff said that, acting upon
the suggestion of the court. he woull
take his prisoner to Sing Sing within
twentyfour hours.
In passing sentence, Justice Garret-
son said the defendant had fair trial
and had been defended by experienced
lawyers. A jury had found a verdict
commensurate with the requirements
of the law. He said he was not aware
that any errors of law had been com
mitted during the trial.
Although there had been great
deal of sympathy injected into the
case the law did not allow a man TO
punish another for wrong he had suf-
fered or to wreak vengeance upon the
man who had wronged him.
He further said: THAT any person
may assume to be Judge and execu-
toner for a real or fancied wrong done
to him by another, society cannot ap-
prove, and the law does not sanction.
Such a doctrine is abhorrent to all
right thinking men and the practice of
1t is subversive of modern civilization.
In this case the law of the state has
been vindicated and the claim to n
right to mete out personal vengeance
has been again condemned. Further
comment is needless.
THE result of this trial is its own
best commentary"

Game and Fish Preserves.

Denver.-''It will be a part of my
policy to encourage the establishment
of large game preserves and private
lakes for fish," said Thomas Holland
game and fish commissioner, when
questioned on the subject.
1T is absurd to argue against game
preserves and private lakes for fish.
The bigger the preserve the better is
my opinion. 1t is fine thing for the
state to have big game reservations
where the Rocky mountain animals can
be protected. yet live according to their
natural habits.
Experience has shown that buffalo
and elk fret and die at the City park in
Denver and other places where they
are confined and do not have natural
pasture to feed upon.
Il believe in encouraging private
lakes for fish. 1t is from these sources
that the state must get spawn. 1t was
largely because we are unable to get
sufficient spawn that the bill creating
half a dozen new hatcheries in the
state was vetoed"

Superintendent Eldridge went to the
headgate of the tunnel and opened the
gate, starting the water into the tun-

construction came over and watched
the water enter the tunnel and then

The Shoshone tunnel is 1900 feet

At the mouth of the tunnel. where
the water discharges, there is a drop
of 1876 feet. The tunnel itself is twelve
feet high and seventeen feet wide.
The water passes into two steel
tubes, each nine and half feet in di-

LIGHT BOOZE
Do You Drink Il?

A minister's wife had quite tussle
with coffee and her experience is in
teresting. She says:
During the two years of my train
ing as a nurse, while on night duty,
became addicted to coffee drinking. Be-
tween midnight and four in the morn
ing, when the patients were asleep,
there was little to do except make the
rounds, and it was quite natural that
/ should want a good, hot cup of cof-
fee about that time. 1t stimulated me
and l could keep awake better.
After three or four years Of coffee
drinking l became a nervous wreck
and thought that simply could not
live without my coffee. All this time
! was subject to frequent bilious at
tacks, sometimes so severe as to keep
me in bed for several days.
AFTER being married, Husband
begged me to leave Off coffee for he
feared that it had already hurt me
almost beyond repair, SO resolved to
make an effort to release myself from
the hurtful habit.
II began taking Postum, and for a
few days felt the languid. tired feeling
from the lack of the stimulant. but
liked the taste OF Postum and that
answered for the breakfast beverage
all right.
FINALLY began to feel clearer head
ed and had steadier nerves. After a
years use OF Postum l now feel like

5000 acres over the anual acreage of
