Cormick turned his eyes In sheer de-
spair toward the Pacific coast, where
senatorships were being bought and
sold in the open market to the highest
bidder. Mccormick saw the success
of Clark and Ankenny lie chose Wash
ington rs being the most promising
spot on the Pacific coast. So he hast
ened to Washington.
II was an open secret that he came
for the specific purpose OF going to
the United states senate. To boos-
himself into the iimelght, he had HIM
self nominated FOR mayo of Tacoma
To his unbounded chagrin. McCor.
mick didn't find Tacoma so very much
different from Wisconsin. His sub
serv .ency to the Northern Pacific rail
road was known. He went down to
defeat.
That was four years ago. All these
four years Mccormick has spent in
regaining the ground he lost in that
municipal catastrophe. In this process
he hasn't forgotten that an interest
measured ia dollars and cents. In edu-
cation, religion, philanthropy, Is good
politics. BY series of local and state
philanthropies, by accepting the lead
ership of the State horticultural So
ciety. by becoming prominent In many
public institutions Of educational or
charitable nature, he gradually climbed
back up the ladder Of politics until he
landed into the national committee
manship OF his party in the state.
That was last year. This year the
people will elect new senator. The
interests" have decreed the retire
ment of Senator Samuel NJ. Piles
fearing the result at the polls of his
record in their behalf.
Mccormick thinks he is just the
man for Piles job. He believes a tim
Der senator from the greatest timber
state would be mighty fitting.
SO he has announced that he will
run. The politicians say he will not
only run, but that he will pay as he
runs
Mccormick doesn't make any secret
of his political doctrines. He admits
he's "stand-patter." He says no
man who breaks away from the leaders
Of the party can have influence" and
get things" He Is of the old school
politically.

law, the remainder going TO his sur
viving relatives.
Count Hauterive, who has the dis
tinction of belonging to more clubs
and OF having fought more duels than
any other man. of his age In Paris,
also of having seen more warfare than
any professional soldier. has said
goodby to Paris.
Two years ago he was out with I'll
Rogui during that bandits campaign
In Morocco. Last week he returned
from his last Moroccan campaign,
where he has been lighting as vohn-
teer with the Spanish forces. A fare
well dinner was given him at q club
in the Rue Royale, at which half the
aristocracy Of France was represent
ed. Speaking of his place he said:
IL have put away my sword and re-
signed from all my clubs. This is
goodby to the boulevards and the
Bots. I am going to Algiers. where I
have bought a plantation near Blidah
and there ] shall raise geraniums and
mandarines"

The former GAINESVILLE beauty has

marriage with the late Count Petu-

REFORM SCHOOLS BREED
CRIME, SAYS MCCORMICK
Convicted Slayer Of Henry c. Minor
Declares Kindness Is Lack
ina When Needed.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. Jan. 12.-That
the reform school degenerates. In
stead of regenerates. the boys who are
sent to il, is the declaration OF young
Mccormick, convicted slayer of Henry
c. Minor, in Ypsilanti. Before being
taken to Jackson prison. where he
must spend the remainder OF his nat
ural life, Mccormick said the reform
school is an incubator in which are
Matched many crimes, all to be COM
mitted when the inmates are released.
Often the boy, when he Is liberated, is
friendless and fails to get helping
hand
why don't some OF those Chris
tiars, who dig down In their pockets
for money to christianize the heather,
dig down for the young boys released
from state institutions" asked McCor
mick. Maybe our souls aren't DIS vel
liable as the soul OF ChinamaI. But
let me tell you this: We are kids when
we are put there and while we know
the difference between right and
wrong, still, maybe Ii doesn't appeal
TO the average boy who finds himself
in a reform school as 1t does TO the
boy whose parents have been able to
give him the care that's the right of
every child born into this world. Most
OF us-well we amt got any kick COM
ing. only we're born on the wrong side
OF the street, that's all. We saw the
under side OF life and sin was not to
be feared by us as by some. other kids
who had an easier start. Most OF the
kids get into the reform school over
some little offense.
Some. and that was the case with
me, were told that II was good place
to go and that we would learn trade
and get an education. Now a boys
got to be farther down than most OF
the boys that strike the reform school
II he doesn't want to learn, and most
OF us go there pretty willingly. But
IL doesn't take us long TO realize that
somebody's made a mistake. Before
we have been there "a hours we are
able to realize that We are criminals.
though the worst charge against us
may be that we are truants.'

REVOLT ON DEVILS ISLAND
HAS AN EXCITING INCIDENT.
Officers In a Boat Rowed BY Convict
Precipitated into the Sea.

PARIS, Jan. 12.-Several attempts
at revolt have lately been made by
the convicts at the French West In
dian penal settlements OF Devils
island and Kourou, according to a
Martin telegram from Cayenne The
unrest Ii ascribed to the convict in
dignation at the use Of corporal pun
ishment.
A party of six officials and warders
were on their way from DEVILS island
TO suppress disturbance at Kouron
when all on board save the convicts
who were rowing the boat were, by
a maneuver hitherto unexplained"
precipated into the sea.
The convicts, masters OF the boat.
saved two women and two little girls
who we're accompanying the officials.
The incident was witnessed from che
shore. and four warders put out to
sea. fought the convicts and regained
possession OF the boat. The message
leaves II doubtful whether the con-
victs deliberately threw the officials
overheard and whether the latter
were drowned.

Meanwhile Dorothy had married

City founded and financed under the
patronage of Queen Carmen sylvia of
Roumania, have discovered BY bitter
experience.
The Queen started a home for the
blind in miniature town Inhabited
solely by the sightless, and gave 1t the
name of Vatra Luminosa- Some money
was subscribed in Roumania; much in
other countries. The Queen begged
and borrowed money all over Europe
to finance this charity. Various con-
tinental noblemen of recent creation
owe their nobility to the money they
subscribed TO these funds. In Cologne
the Queen borrowed through agents
s25o,0o0 from a banking firm and
pledged the word of the King as Sc
curity.
Suddenly the King repudiated all
connection with his wife's liabilities
and issued semi public notification
TO the banks and money-lenders OF
Europe that he would not be respon-
sible for the Queens debts. There was
great scandal. and the Queen re.
turned the s25o.ooo 10 the Cologne
banker with apologies. Finally the
money was collected and the little
town built and inaigurated as refuge
for the blind of all nations.
Eighty per cent. of the cost was con-
tributed outside Rounania. but now
orders have been issued expelling from
the haven of peace all the blind who
are not Roumanians, turning them
adrift without guidance. They are IN

ripening for another bloody outbreak
Those having an intimate knowledge
of the country doubt whether the
Romanoff dynasty will weather the

1t lis declared that the crash can
not be postponed beyond the fall OF
