LONG YEARS.
" as Chars ) With
The Murder Of
His Father

TOPEKA. Kan. Jan. 9.-After nine
years behind prison bars. under tho
shadow Of a death sentence. john
Henry Collirs. the Kansas University
student who was convicted In 1888
Of Staying his father, is q free man.
On Monday he will apply to Governor /
Hook for a full pardon. and the CHEF
Executive, as the last important OH
cial act Of his administration. will
restore to Collins his absolute free
dom and the full rights Of citizen,
ship. SO will end the most fmpor-
tant murder case in the history OF
Kansas
The pardoning OF Collins has ere
ated widespread interest Throughout
the State. and the general opinion
confirms the view OF Governor Hoch
tiata the young man was wrongly con-
victed by the per:jured evidence Of
dissolute negroes. Now considered
innocent Of the crime OF which he
was accused and convicted, Collins
has get spent nine years Of the best
period OF his life behind the grim
walls of Kansas prison and now goes
forth to face the world with his H.
ture blasted almost beyond hope OF
redemption by the terrible stigma
that has been placed upon Aim.
II Collins is really innocent ms his
thousands OF friends declare and as
Governor Hoch now firmly believes.
his case furnishes a full defense for
the Kansas policy OF abolition OF cap
ita punishment. Although he WAS
sentenced to death, Collins escaped
the sallows by reason Of the Kansas
law which places responsibility for
the execution OF slrch a sentence upon
the Governor. No chief executive Of
the sunflower State has eyer assumed
such responsibility. and capital
punishment in Kansas Is in conse- 4
Quence thing Of the past.
Young Collins was convicted In
1899 Of numbering his father James
S. Collins. At that time John Collins
was student at the University OF
Kansas. He accepted MS sentence :
philosophlcally. although at all times
asserting his innocence. and in prison
was a model convict, not single COM
pl1int having ever been lodged against
him. He was the leader Of the prison
band and the clerk Of one OF the cell
houses. Sg1
No murder case in the past genera
ton created as much interest tn
Kansas as the Collins case. It even
outranked the Jessie Morrison muir
der case OF El Dorado.
James 5. Collins was a romnent
business man Of Topeka. Early in

RECALL THE OLD
FEDERAL BANK
Opponents Of The New Scheme
Fear it Would be a Repiti-
tiOn Of Past Experiences
" United Press Leased Special Wire

By United Press Leased Special Wire
WASHINGTON, oct. 1.-THE oppo-
nents of the Central National United
States bank as was stated in these
dispatches yesterday fear that il would
be a repitition of the old bank that
President Andrew Jackson put out Of
business.
The old Bank Of the United states
was a corporation organized for private
profit According to its charter the
government was a minority stock
holder having only s70O0,OOO out Of
total of $4,000, 900. The government
had only out OF 20 or OF the directors
and they worked as one body so that
the government could be outVoted.
The bank did business just as any
bank does today. accepting the peoples
deposits and making loans and dis
counts to the public. 1t worked as a
private organization and for time
was successful despite frauds in the
sale Of the stock, which was taken
by the people, and occasional bad
management.
At the beginning of Jackson's ad-
ministration its capital was about a
quarter, and its loans, circulation and
deposits about one fifth of the whole
amount held and issued by all of the
banks of the country. It's parent Office
was in Philadelphia, and it had %
branches through the country. It's
bank notes were as good as gold in
every part of the United States anC
were accepted abroad within frac-
ton of their value at home according
TO the current rates of exchange.
Corrupted Elections.
Later tales began to come to jackson
of the corrupt influence the bank wa'
exerting in controlling elections, anG
he came TO believe that it was dan
gerous institution. SO he vetoed tn
proposed extension Of its charter, with
drew from it all deposits of govern
ment moneys, scattered them among
State and private banks Of his owl
choosing, and when the panic of 1873
came, most Of those banks failed an,
a good portion of the governmen
funds were lost.
In the meantime the withdrawal o
the government charter and fund
caused the Bank of the United State
to fail, bringing widespread loss I,

over the pay is small, averaging per-
haps three dollars per day in the
country districts and a trife more in
the cities, practically the pay of ordi-
nary mechanics. Not only, therefore,

which the census is taken chiefly OF
wholly by men serving without pay,
who either volunteer their service from
patriotic motives or who are required

in this country are ripe for such "a
scheme. At any rate, nothing of this
sort can be done at the present census.
1t may. however be hoped that To
some slight extent. and possibly to a
considerable extent, men can be in
duced TO accept the position of enum-
orator from interest in the work rather
than for the compensation involved
He hopes that a considerable number
/ Of the colleges and universities of the
country may see at 10 give leave OF
absence to their students for the shori
time required TO do this work of enum.
GRAFTON. The college student is very
useful enumerator i'm some cases, but
IL Is exceedingly desirable that enum
orators should actually live in th'
districts where they work. and ther
are multitudes of districts where n'
college students reside or where sucl
students are in institutions hundred
or thousands Of miles from thei
homes. Another class who can rende
good service as enumerators are schoo
teachers, but, with the enumeration
taking place i'm April and May instea'
of June as formerly few school teach
ers can be spared from their dutie
TO take the census.
