MINER TRIES SUICIDE
BEFORE MOVING TRAIN
ROBERT MITCHELL PULLED
FROM DEATH
Dependent Over Repeated Drinking
Bouts, He Nearly AceompIishes
His Purpose by His
Rash Act

Despondent because he had spent his
last cent for liquor and suffering from
remorse which is said to affiict those
addicted to drink, Robert Mitchell, a
miner, made a desperate attempt to
end his life yesterday by thowing him
self in front of an approaching switch
engine in the Southern Pacific yards
east of Elysian park. Several section
hands standing near by saw Mitchell
jump between the rails and jerked him
from his dangerous position just as the
engine Numbered by.
Mitchell fought desperately with his
rescuers when he saw his effort at
self-destruction had been thwarted,
and in the struggle that followed fell
down and sustained a laceration on
his forehead.
The rescuers tired of trying to calm
the man and one of them notified the
east side station and Patrolman White
responded.
When Mitchell saw the officer he lay
down near the track and refused to
move. White thereupon picked him up
in his arms and carried him across the
river to the workhouse. short dis
fused to walk, and the officer had to
ford the stream with his burden.
Mitchell told Lieutenant Dixon why
he wanted to die. II was arrested
Tuesday night for being drunk" said
Mitchell. "I had $55 which 1 hid in my
clothes, and when the officers searched
me at the central station they did not
find the money. During the night some
one in the Jail robbed me. They over
looked SIS, and when I got sober I put
it up as bail and was released. l then
obtained $1.S5 which they found in my
pockets when l was searched and went
out and got drunk again. In doing so
l spent my last cent, SO I wanted to
die"
The police say there is nothing to
Mitchell's story that he was robbed.
He was booked on a charge of drunk
enness and when searched a $40 bill
was found in his pocket

So far this has actually been accom-
plished only by dirigible, or Siderable,
balloon.
There are two leading types of air
craft. One of these is the gas inflated
envelope, properly a balloon. whether
spherical or cigar shaped. The dirlg-
ible balloon is one mechanically pro-
PEELED and Siderable at will. The most
effective style of this type is exem-
plified in the airship with which l have
been making flights in Los Angeles.
1.-THE other type is the heavier5than-
air machine or aeronef, as 1T is officially
designated by aeronauts. An aerostat
is a free balloon floating through the
air and an aeronat is a balloon held
captive. The aeronef is the gasless
type, hence is referred to as heavier
than air. while the term balloon Is
correctly applied only to a bag made
lighter than air by initiating with a gas
or hot air. The aeroplane is an aeronef
supported by the sustaining power of
the air against it's planes. These dis
tinctions are not put exactly In techni-
cal language, but they serve to make
clearer the question as to which kind Of
craft actually is navigated in the air."

Tells of $1,000 Contribution Senator
Made to Republican Conven-

MADISON, Wis, March 3.-Mary r.

Stephenson, was on the stand today Ill
the senatorial primary investigation.
A contribution of $1,000 by Senator
Stephenson on May IA. expenses of the
Wisconsin delegations headquarters at
the Republican national convention in
Chicago, was cited.
Various checks were produced, includ-
ing donations to churches. The witness
admitted that donations to churches
were more frequent during the cam
paign.
If the friends of Isaac Stephenson
had been alive to the situation, Stephen
son would have been declared elected
United States senator by the joint bal
lot of the legislature at noon today.
There were 124 members voting. Sen
ator Stephenson plainly had 60 votes
out of this total, had not the joint as
sembly permitted Assemblyman Buslett
to change his vote from Stephenson to
a pair.
A pair for the senatorship is unlaw-
full and cannot be recognized. Before
the fact was brought out Stephenson
had missed the election.

TALKS ON CRIMINALS
PLEADS THAT Ex-C0NvlCTS BE
GIVEN A CHANCE
uroes on Legislators the Necessity OF
Measures Tending to Ameliorate
Conditions of Prison Life
in California

Col. Griffith J. Griffith is in Sacra-
mento diligently urging on his crusade
for prison reform in California. In an
interview given to the Sacramento bee
he dwelt extensively on the unnec-
essarily harsh treatment meted out 10
criminals, expressing himself as fol-
lows:
1T is said that the discipline of the
average prison hardens, degrades ana
is a perpetual exhibition of cruel, ar
bitrary power. Men in prison, much
like those out of prison, can be mace
worse. according to their treatment,
environments and opportunities. Treat
ment that puts an impossible gulf oe1
tween the prisoner and society VIII
never make a convict better. In saw
age times we sought revenge Tor d
wrong, and today we have the same
spirit of retaliation in all our laws
against criminals.
'It would be a long step in the right
direction to change San Quentin prison
into the adult reformatory. The So
called Sash and Blind 400-foot brick
building and four stories high could
be economically used for trades pur-
poses and the level yard room Tor
drilling. etc. Instead of maintaining
schools for crime, why not adopt mod
ern methods?
Where California Leads
According 10 records published in
1907 by the American Prison associa-
ton, the commitments to prison in this
country average 1874 ir each 100000 OF
population; the ratio being 55.7 for
Alabama, S05 for Illinois, while Call
fornia is in the lead with 1884 per
100, 600 population. Do not these fig
ures Indicate something wrong with
both our laws and system?
with modern laws and methods,
and the right men managing, from 70
TO 80 per cent of our criminals can be
changed into lawabiding citizens. They
are doing it in Indiana, and why not
in California?
During this. session of the legisla-
ture many flimsy objections have been
raised against San Quentin being trans
formed into reformatory Among
others. that the inmates could not be
reformed and if successful the labor
unions would Immediately object to it,

WHEAT.

Chicago, March 31-We feel conf
dent that the selling of wheat late
yesterday and early today was over
done, and so stated in our advices.
There was little doubt that the pit
conditions brought about by local SELL
ing made a spot for buyers to take
hold There was a strong tone to the
market at the opening and a good vol
ume of buying which lifted prices
about half a cent at once. There was
some selling against indemnities, and
this caused the market to recede
sharply. 1t was then that the news
of the day became more bullish and
the trade was Obliged to respond with
fresh volume of buying Liverpool
rallied and closed higher. There was
hint of very small Argentine ship
ments for the week at Kansas City.
Cash prices had a sensational advance
of several cents when No. red wheat
sold there at $40 or over. Messages
from that quarter said any kind OF
milling wheat was in demand to go
back to Kansas points. One mill cosed
down at Great Bend because of the
scarcity and higher prices. Advices
from nearly all the soft wheat sections
claim poor wheat crops. This was
the kind of news which created the
best buying of the day and forced the
advance in the July trade. The coun-
try is buying wheat at every oppor-
