MEN ON PAROLE
MUST BE SAVING
JUDGE REQUIRES PRISONERS
TO SHOW BANK BOOKS
INSISTS CONDITION OF PRoBA-
TON is THRIFTINESS
When Report Is Made to Court Benefl-
ciary of clemency Obliged to
Exhibit Fact He Saves
Part of Wages

"Put a dollar in q mans pocket and
it win give him a feeling of indepen-
dence; bank deposit book showing
money to his credit, makes of him a
better Citizen" said Judge Frank R.
Willis yesterday.
Carrying out this Idea, Judge Willis
for several months has been incorpo-
rating among other provisions where
probationary sentences are imposed
the requirement a bank desposit book
must be shown to the chief probation
officer when weekly or monthly reports
are made by men who are released on
probation.
The amount of the weekly or month
ly saving is based on the probable
earning capacity of the probationer.
In some cases only 81 a week is re-
quired; in others it may reach $40, but
seldom or ever more than this amount.
"The plan is the best 1 have ever
SEEN" said Chief Probation officer A.
c. Dodds. THE first recalcitrant has
yet to be recorded, and it is always an
enjoyable moment for me when one of
these men comes in and throws down
a deposit book with a pride of pos
session and independence"
The saving provision is most often
imposed in cases where men are con- |
yicted of or plead guilty TO charges
of passing fictitious paper for small
amounts or the commission of thefts
and burglaries because of the prompt
ing of an empty stomach.
II am 30 years old" says the ap-
plicant for probation in response to the
judges questions; Il have earned |
from $40 to $25 a week since 1 was
Is years old
Wants to Know of Savings
''How much have you saved?" is the
question which invariably follows, and
the answer is invariably: Nothing"
The probationary period covers one,
two or three or more years, Make a
report to the chief probation officer
each month, showing your progress,
and bring with you a deposit book
showing additional deposits each time
you report" is the order.
THANK you, judge" says the re-
leased man.
Don't thank me; the only thanks
want is a record of your good con-
duct" is the response.
II find the plan working WE'LL" said
Judge Willis yesterday. THE men on
whom this condition is imposed are
reporting regularly with their bank
books and exhibit them with just
pride So far only one man has not
shown a deposit book and he exhibit
ed receipts for monthly installments
on a piece of land where he intends
to establish a home. His request to
have the provision changed so that for
the purchase of the property he might
use the money / ordered him to place
weekly in the bank. was granted.
Just figure out what a man will be
worth when 45 or so years old if he
had saved a dollar a week during the
time he has worked and you will get
my idea" said Judge Willis. This
applies to business men as well as
others who are supposed to be in less
fortunate circumstances. Any person
with a little self-denial and consist
ent endeavor can make this saving" Z

French Idea Of Heaven

Jere L. Sullivan of the Hotel and
Restaurant Employees International all
lance praised at a Labor day dinner in
Cincinnati the cooking.
This cooking" said Mr.. Sullivan, sis
as good as French cooking, and that's
the best. AS the Dutch make cleanli-
ness a religion, so the French make
religion of cooking, and there's a story
of Frenchman of Quebec who once
said:
My idea of heaven is eating pate
de foie gras to the sound of trum-
pets"

Inspection Ruins Plants.

Vancouver, B. c., Oct. 1.-Horticul-
turists of Vancouver, Victoria and vi
cinity are SO thoroughly indignant at
the way they have been treated by
provincial government officials that
they are getting up signed protest to
the department at Ottawa to protest
against what they allege is wanton de-
struction of nursery stock consigned to
them from outside points.
Al ornamental nursery and green
house stock entering this province has
to be inspected and fumigated to guard
against pests which may infect the
plants. The complainants allege that
after this fumigation has taken place
the plants are passed to the provincial
which detains them for
some time, often so long that hundreds
of dollars worth of stock rots, is
spoiled or condemned.

Tax Hartman Estate.

Chicago, Sept. 3O.-Although the
amount of inheritance tax which Illi-
nois will demand from the estate of
Edward H. Hartman may run up to
5000, 900 or more, Walter K. Lincoln,
inheritance tax attorney, today ex-
pressed confidence that the Hartman
heirs will be unable to evade its pay
ment. Mr.. Lincoln declared there is
no point on which the validity of the
new law, which gives the authority to
levy the tax, can successfully be at
tackled.
II anticipate no strenuous opposi-
tion to the states claim for an inher-
itance tax" said Mr.. Lincoln. 81 be-
lieve we shall be able to get at the
exact amount of the Hartman estate
in Illinois, and that we shall collect
the tax without more than the usual

WIN StIICIlCdIIS.
New York, Oct. 1.-Twenty-five
thousand men of arms marched yester-
day before the massed representatives
and special ENJOYS of 81 nations, while
1000, 900 citizens shouted themselves
hoarse in cheers. The great military
parade was the climax of the Hudson
Fulton celebration.
The most conspicuous reception of
the day went to the sailors of the Ger
man fleet, magnificent body of picked
men, who, as they reached the review
ing stand, fell into the formal slap
slap of the parade goose-step and
burst into "My Counry, 'Tis of Thee,"
with an overwhelming volume of bassos
and fervor which took away the
breath of the listeners. The people sat
silent for moment, and then rising to
their feet cheered until their voices
gave way.
So many men representing so many
branches of the war departments of
the world have not been seen on Amer
ican streets before, so many wearing
the colors have not been seen since the
days of the Civil war.

PRESIDENT IN MINE.
Taft Visits Famous Copper Diggings
at Butte.

Helena, Mont, Sept. 28.-Attired in
linen duster, an old black slouch hat
and swinging an electric lantern at his
side, President Taft was locked in a
narrow iron cage and dropped 1900
feet through midnight darkness into
the depths of the famous old Leonard

had ascended with a whiz after half
an hour under ground, the president,
blinking in the glare of the MONDAY
sun, was cheered to the echo by the
crowd of curious people gathered at
the hoist and declared enthusiastically
81 wouldn't have missed it for the
world"

the Montana copper district and be-
tween the smelters at Anaconda and

tory in visible form passed in review
today before the eyes of more than
1000, 900 spectators that lined the
route of the first Hudson-Fulton land
pageant from the upper end of Central
park to Washington square. Thou
sands of dollars and months of effort
were spent to make this parade of 81
floats an accurate reproduction of the
life in New York state from Legendary
Indian times that preceded the first
settlement to the first voyage of Cler-
mont in 1907.
The line of parade had to be selected
with great care because of the great
size of the floats, which are said to be
the largest and most elaborate ever
exhibited. They vary in dimensions
from 20 to 40 feet high, 80 feet long
and IA feet wide. They could not pass
under the elevated railroad, and even
the electric decorations of the court
of honor and reviewing stand on Fifth
avenue, opposite the new public libra
ry, had to be changed at the last mo-
ment to accommodate them.
Nearly 10000 men, women and
children, most of them in costume,
representing every national and patri-
otic society in the city, posed as his
toric personages on these floats or
marched between or beside them. The
cost of the whole spectacle was $780,
900.

Ten MEN PERISH
AS TRAINS CRASH
Passenger Train Hits Stock Freight
in the Night.
Flames Break Out in Wreckage and
Wounued Are Dragged From Fire
Locomotive Bears Down on Ca
boose Without Warning in Chi
cago Yards.

Chicago, Sept. 28.-Ten men were
killed and 16 probably fatally injured
yesterday morning when a train south
bound for Cincinnati on the Pennsyl-
vania road crashed into the caboose of
a Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul cat
tie train bound for the stockyards.
Sixteen men were in the caboose of
the stock train when the passenger
train crashed into it in the railroad
yards few blocks from the downtown
station. The engine plowed through
the caboose, tearing it to bits and set
ting fressto the debris.
Six bodies were recovered within
few minutes after the crash, while the
flames were eating up the splintered
pieces of the demolished car. Sixteen
injured were dragged from the burning
ruins.
The passenger train known as the
Cincinnati special of the Pan Handle
route of the Pennsylvania left the union
station soon after midnight. No sig
nails had been given, 80 far as could be
learned, that any other train was on
the tracks.
The passenger train increased it's
speed and when at One Hundred and
Twentieth street the engineer saw the
rear lights of the freight ahead. 1t
was too late to avert collision. He
used the airbrakes and reversed his en-
gine, but the train crashed into the
caboose filled with sleeping stockmen,
with tremendous momentum.

THE KIND OF ENUMERATORS
Farmers and Crop Reporters for the
Census of Agriculture.

Farmers and Crop Reporters for the
Census of Agriculture.
Washington, Oct. l. - Forty-five
thousand enumerators out of the esti-
mated grand total of $4,000, will be
engaged April 18th next gathering in
the required information concerning
agriculture for the Thirteenth Decen-
nial U. S. census. Director Durand
purposes making every effort to secure
progressive farmers and crop reporters
for these places. His action is based
upon the recommendation of Chief
Statistician LeGrand Powers and the
advisory board Of special agents COM
posed of professors of economics and
farm experts who have been assisting
in the formulation of the schedule of
inquiries concerning farm operation
and equipment. 1t is believed that the
selection of this class of men. already
familiar with statistical methods of
securing data and reporting it in COM
prehendible form, will add greatly to
efficiency of the census and to the sci
entifc value of the information OBJ
tanned. Director Durand does not an
ticipate any difficulty in procuring
enumerators of this kind. as there are
in every state Of the Union hundreds
of crop reporters acting for the depart
ment of agriculture, representatives of
state boards of agriculture, etc.
The agricultural schedule which is
to be placed in the hands of these
is nearing completion by
the census bureau. The advisory
board, who are acquainted with prac-
tical agriculture, its varying condi-
tions, and who are active in their re-
spective states in assisting the farm
ers to improve their farm methods,
have been most earnest and no effort
is being spared to make the schedule
as simple as possible, and yet secure
the greatest amount of important in
formation concerning agriculture.
There will be but one schedule for
agriculture. There may be a small
schedule for the enumeration of ami
mails in cities. This will be carried by
The city enumerators and it will cover
lorses, milch cows, chickens, ETC.,
housed in barns, stables, etc., in the
titles. No attempt will be made to get
The area of city gardens or vacant lot

KEEP DOOR OPEN.
United States Will Take a Hand in
Chinese Situation.

Chinese Situation.
Washington, Sept. 30.-It is report
ed that the government will soon take
action towards preserving the open
door policy in China, which it is said
has been seriously menaced by the re-
cent activities of Japan in the Chinese
domain. 1t is understood that Japan
by the terms of the recent Japanese
Chinese agreement regarding the
rights of Japanese in Manchuria has
obtained control of extensive mining
concessions in the southern section of
the great province for an indetermin-
ate period. This is out of line with
the open door policy as construed by
the late Secretary Hay following the
exchange of notes between the various
powers in 1899, when the several gov
ernmental spheres of influence were
defined.
For several weeks American attaches
in the diplomatic service have been re-
ceiving information as to the full un-
derstanding entered into between
Japan and China regarding the Antung
railroad, and the concessions
granted to the Japanese, with the re-
suit that steps for formal protest are
being made. it is said.

Jap Strikers Go Free.

Honolulu, Sept. 29.-The jury in
the second trial of the 10 japanese
who were arrested on charges of riot
ing during the recent strike at the
Waipahu plantation disagreed tonight.
This amounts to an acquittal under the
local laws. as the men cannot be tried
third time. The men were among
those, it was charged, who besieged E.
M. Scoville, the plantation engineer,
and Policeman Wells in hut on the
plantation. AS this was the most seri-
Gus disorder during the strike, it was
decided to make an example of them.

San Francisco, Oct. 1.-The second
trial of Patrick Calhoun on the charge
of offering hribe to former Superin-
tendent John j. Furey was resumed
before Judge Lawlor yesterday.
Twenty-six talesmen were examined
and rejected, the grounds for objec-
tions in most cases being either that
the talesmen expressed a fixed opinion
or that their names dil not appear on
the assessment rolls. The attorneys
for the defense declared they would be
seriously handicapped by the absence
of one of the leading counsel.
