m Defence OF The PILLORY
English Writer Shows Some Good
Points About This Old-Time
Form Of Punishment.

Perhaps one Of the few really demo-
cratic institutions ever created was
the pillory. do not say that it was
a humane institution, though it was
certainly more humane than our sys-
TEN Of silent Imprisonment But be-
ing humane has nothing to do with
being democratic. You may have hui
name and inhumane democracies, just
as you may have humane and inhu.
name despots.
The point is that che pillory was a
real appeal to the people. II 1t was
cruel, il was because the people We're
cruel, or perhaps justly indignant.
The people threw dead cats (the less
humanitarian, l believe threw live
CATS, but they could throw bouquets
and crowns of laurel II they liked.
Sometimes they did. The argument
about the old public punishments cuts
both ways. The publicity was an ad-
ditional risk for the government as
well as an additional risk for the pris-
oner. and this is specially true Of the
executions for treason. 1t was no
small thing that half . million men
might possibly treat as a martyr a
man whofn the king was treating as a
murderer; that the prince had to con.
what that ruftian probably wanted

the principal features. Arthur Smith,

cording to the police. There were
several members OF the gang. Smith
was able to communicate with three
members after his arrest and enabled
them to hide. They were captured
yesterday. John Brown, aged IS, Bur-

Wrights Flew.

Washington, July 26.-Cutting all
sorts of circles in the air, Orville
Wright Saturday evening again DEM
onstrated the ability of the Wright
brothers aeroplane to fly The aerial
navigator remained aloft at Fort Myer
y little over twenty minutes and then
at signal from his brother Wilbur
made a swift and safe landing. With
this flight the preliminaries to the Of
ticial trials may be said TO have been
concluded.
1t was the general understanding
that Lieutenant Frank p. Lahm OF
the United States signal service would
go up with Mr.. Wrighe, and in conse.
quence large and anxious crowd
awaited the start. After few mo.
ments spent in trying out the motor
and propellers, .Orville stepped into
the machine unaccompanied This was
a disappointment to the onlookers
who had primed themselves for q
flight which would mark the first at.
tempt to carry a passenger since the
accident last fall when Lieutenant
Selfridge lost his life.
The ship got away to none too gooG
a start and kept close to the ground
for about 800 yards, but skillful manip
ulation on the part of the aviator
caused it to gradually rise to height
of a hundred feet. Some very sharl
turns were made and in one of these
the craft careered considerably, caus
ing the spectators for a moment tt
gasp, but Orville soon righted it anG
q general sigh of relief went up.
Among the large crowd were many
senators and representatives, army
officers and diplomats but perhaps the
most interested visitor was Miss Cath
crime Wright, a sister of the aero
planists, who waved her hand to Or.

where the machine is housed, and re-

CUT OFF WRONG END
SaIome Dancers Tights Too Short Mt
the BOttOm-SOciety Shocked


New York. July 26.-Every now and
then New York city has spasm of
virtue and inaugurates campaign
against questionable theatrical pro-
ductiOns. A new crusade was started
today-the first by tile new police
head, Commissioner Baker. The arrest
of Gertrude Hoffman, the Salome
dancer, last night was the apparent
official beginning of the movement.
When she was arraigned in court to-
day charged with giving perform
ances offensive to public decency,"
1t became known that the order for
arrest came from the head of the po-
lice department. Her case was ad-
journed until next Tuesday. Other ar
rests are to be made, says the COM
missioner, unless certain perform
ances, particularly the dances, now
being given in the city, are decidedly
reformed.
81 am going to take drastic ac-
tion," said the commissioner, today,
"and owners, lessees and managers
must obey the law
Mr.. Baker said that he did not order
Miss Hoffman's arrest until after he
had sent six persons to see her dance.
All reports agreed, he said, that the
exhibition was improper. Then he
saw the performance himself and
thought so. too.
Court developments today showed
that the charge in the Hoffman case
hinges upon the definition of tights. !"

SUICIDE CLUB
Factory Employees Settle the Question
''tO be or Not to Be-"

Cleveland, July pa club COM
posed of disheartened factory EN-
ployes advocating suicide as the only
means within their reach of attaining
the peace of mind they crave and to
escape the torments of their daily
grind, is believed to exist here. This
fact was advanced today by the
parents of Miss Rebecca Bosechek, Is
years, old, who was found dead in
Gordon park yesterday. After con-
sidering all of the known circum-
stances surrounding her death, this
is the only theory evolved. The rela-
tives believe that another girl, COM
panion of Miss Bosechek, will COM
NIT suicide within the next few days.
The mother of the second girl admits
having overheard her daughter and
Miss Bosechek planning to kill them
selves. According to those who know
of the habits of Miss Bosechek, the
club consisted of six girls four young
men and man and his wife. Most
of them are employed in the cloak
factories.
Yesterday after the death of Miss
Bosechek became known, several
young men and women called at the
Bosechek home to obtain pooks and
newspaper clippings which the girl
had In her room and which she would
not let her parents see. The girl is
known to have met these young people
in meeting held at various places. The
group Is known to have read morbid
literature and discussed death as the
only relief for their woes. Miss Bose
chek shot herself. Her body was found
in clump of bushes. 1t is believed
that the club chose her by lot as the
first to commit suicide.

THE OlD EGYPTIAN MURRA|N
OF PaARA0H'S PLAGUE TINE
Caused by a Germ Which Enters the
Skin Through an Abrasion, Caus.
ing Humorous or Cancerous Growth
Which Develops Into Blood Poison

Lake Charles, La, July 26.-Char-
bon, deadly and loathsome disease
which afflicts cattle and which has
killed thousands OF valuable animals
in Louisiana. has attacked human be-
ings now and many men are under
treatment. In I,eesburs, tho county
seat of Cameron parish eight persons
have been stricken. Up to date no
deaths have resulted.
Charbon has afflicted cattle for Gen.
turies. but has seldom visited this
country. 1t was known to tho
ancients in Egypt and often scourged
the Asiatic and Oriental countries. 1t
is caused by germ which enters the
animals skin through an abrasion. 1t
multiplies and causes an inflammation
which turns into q humorous or can
cerous growth which terminates in
blood poison. The United States gov
ernment, alarmed by the inroads the
disease has made, has sent experts
from the bureau Of animal industry
to assist local veterinarians in fight
ing the plague. They are urging
cremation of infected animals and the
vaccination OF all others.
In Cameron parish alone one
fourth oG the animals have died.
