MURDER CASE

New York, May 13.-Two of the FIVE
suspects arrested in connection with
the mysterious murder of two servants
in the house OF Or. Mott ID. Cannon.
although charged only with burglary
are being held without bail This is
because OF the importance the detec-
tives attached to their apprehension.
These were Philip Hirskowitz and Ed
ward Henshel, who said that they
lived together at 306 East One Hun
dredth street. Keys found In their
possession were taken around to DR..
Cannon's house and tried on the base
ment and front door locks before the
police asked Magistrate Butts in Har-

3 CHILDREN
ARE DROWNED
IN MILL POND

Wlllesbarre, Pa, May 49,. Eight
school children, six girls and two boys,
were drowned in boating accident in
a nlill pond near the Huntington Mills
high school, fifteen miles from here.
-Four boys escaped death by swimming
ashore.
Those drowned were all between six
teen and eighteen years old and had
been busy preparing for the graduation
exercises.
The pupils come to the school from
miles around and carry lunches. After
these had been eaten at noon, party
of the older ones, six girls and six
boys, proposed going for a row on the
old mill pond. Fifteen minutes after
the gay party embarked eight of them
were dead
The dead are: Maud Sutliff, seven
teen, Of Town Line; Caroline Koons,
eighteen, of Harveyville; Ruth Bon
ham, seventeen of Town Line; Iris
Davenport, seventeen, of Waterton;
Kathleen Good, eighteen, Of Waterton;
Rachel Thompson, seventeen, of Town
Hill; Robert Minny, eighteen, and Ray
Dodson, seventeen, of Huntington
Mills.
BY a strange chance no one saw the
party embarking or witnessed the ac-
cident This was due to the fact that
the mill pond is some little distance
from the school, that the old paper
mill there is abandoned and that a
fringe of trees shuts off sight of the
water from the road
The farm workers in the fields above
the dam and the people of the little
town were at dinner.
Robert Minnick, one of the drowned
boys was the particular hero of the
occasion. In the confusion he first
swan to shore and then seeing that
the girls were in the water he struck
out for the middle of the pond again
and was drowned while endeayoring
to rescue the girls.
The boys who escaped believe that
the first boat to sink sprang q leak.
The second boat was able to reach it
just before it sank, and in the endeav-
VI " pun lulO Tue bVdl ihOoC w uo
went down in the first boat the second
was overturned.
There was much frolicking and laugh
ter as the boats pushed off side by
side the girls teased each other and
the boys, and there was some splash
ing of water with the oars, some of
the party used their hands and threw
water on the others. The boats drifted
to the middle of the pond, and they
were several yards apart.
In one of the boats where the boys
and girls were having very jolly time
one of the boys got up to change his
seat owing to leak in the boat. Who
ii was the survivors do not remember.
They have an idea that perhaps two or
three of the boys stood up at the same
time. The boat rocked somewhat, the
girls, girl-lilIe, shrieked; the boy. boy
like, rocked the boat a little more. 1t
dipped some water, and the girls, thor
oughly alarmed, sprarg up. The next
instant the boat overturned, and all.
six were In the water with chorus
of screams for help. M
The other boat, only a few yards
away, reached the six struggling in
the water with half dozen strokes
of the oars. Those in the water seized
the sides of the boat and tried to
scramble in. Their weight pulled the
boat beneath the water.

Netherlands Prison
Reform Advancement

on a small STALE. The buildings and
the cells excited wounder in their
time because of their completeness
and their excellence, although they
fell far short of the prison standards
of the twentieth century. Indeed,
the epidemics ragged more fatally
outside the "rasp-house" and the
'spinn-house" than inside.
Discipline was severe" conclud-
ed DR.. Van der Aa. yet we must
bear in mind the rough and turbu-
lent character of the prison pouula-
ton, These prisons melted many

English prison reformer of the eigh-
teenth century. noted with Joy the

Washington, Oct. 3.-That the
tiny country of the Netherlands was
in the early century a European
pioneer in prison reform was the
thesis of the public lecture by Pro-
fessor Simon van de IA this after
noon before the International Prison
congress. Professor Van der "A,
professor of criminal law at the
University of Gronlngen, traced the
rise OF the prison system OF the
Netherlands out of and away from
the atrocious tortures and abundant
executions Of the period succeeding
the time of the Reformation.
1.-The. first beginnings of prison
organization date from the last part
of the sixteenth century. At that
time, capital punishment stood at
the head of the list and corporal
punishment in second place. In
1859 the aldermen of Amsterdam,
obiecting to a sentence of death
passed upon a youth of 16, resolved
to erect house where all vaga-
bonds, malefactors, raseals and such
people could be confined and put to
work, for so long a time as the jus
tees should deem fit. From this
resolution arose the 'rasp-house' and
the 'spinn-housd''
Professor Van der Aa then rapidly
sketched the Organization of these
houses. pointing out that many of
the modern reform principles found
expression in the Netherlands at this
carly date. There was classification
by sex and by age; sentences were
not always definite (thus giving the
earliest known example of tn prac-
tice of the indeterminate sentence)
the organization was relatively sys-
tematic; labor was enforced and
productive. being a marvellous con-
trast 70 other prisons; there wac

The Opening Attraction.


The fact that Miss Clara LiDman.
who opens the Kentucky season to-
might with "The Marriage OF a star"
and that Miss Margaret Anglln.

Offset by the fact that nearly two

ever strain may be imposed on the

The merit OF attraction Miss LIP

as the reviews by eminent Chicago
critics prove.
The Chicago Telegraph OF last
week said OF Miss L.pman:

was given to her play, which the
papers all have praised.

those who recalled her merely for
her light, farcial exhibitions in the

pity that this gifted little

comedy which "The Marriage OF a
