BILE Dobson informed him that his past
record was known and that he would
get third degree punishment right
from the start if he failed to behave.
The threat of double shackles with a
diet of bread and water caused Gala
han to realize that he had to obey the
rules.
Callahan was one of. the first con-
victs to be released from the Kansas
penitentiary under the then new Kan
sas parole law. He had a powerful
outside backing, mainly from Wichita.
He was brought to the Kansas peni-
leased on parole in December, 1902,
after serving two years and seven
months of a six-year term. He was
paroled in spite of the fact that he
was a second termer and a charge of
felony was hanging over him in Utah.
Gov. W. E. Stanley of Wichita issued
the parole to Callahan.

ART OF LIFE SAVING
VIM. Henry, Champion Swimmer,
Coming Over to Teach Us.
He Is Founder of the Royal English
Society Devoted to Rescuing the
DroWning-Easy When You
Know How, He Says.

London.-Remarkable progress in
the art OF saving life from drowning
has been made both in Europe and
America since the foundation Is years
ago Of the English Royal Life Saving
society which first organized this sery-
ice to humanity. William Henry, the
founder of this famous society, left
England recently on missionary visit
to the United States and Canada.
After visiting Montreal, Quebec, Otta-
wa, Kingston and other Canadian
cities, he will give lectures and illus
trations of life saving in Buffalo, New
York and other places in the United
States.
Mr.. Henry is one of those enthusi-
asts whose zeal is infectious. Being
In the happy position of financial indie
pendence, he devotes most of his time
to his hobby-life saving-and under
his direction the society has grown
from a small body in 1891, when it was
founded, to embrace more than 600
affiliated associations and clubs, num-
bering over 10000 members.
The governing authorities of schools,
colleges and universities in England
all have come under his sway. He has
visited nearly all the continental coun-
tries and has established societies in
Italy, Germany, Sweden, France and
Finland. His methods of life saving
are being taught in the Australian
commonwealth, New Zealand, India,

disc Along Its Course.

Paris.-The probability that the
Champs Elysees, the noblest avenue
in the world, will always be preserved
as an artistic promenade and a chill
dren's paradise has been strengthened
by action just taken by the municipal
council Of Paris. The council not
only refused to grant permit for the
construction of Philharmonic palace
on the site of the now defunct sum
mer circus, but voted to investigate
concessions previously granted, loOE-
ing to the removal of some Of the
music halls and restaurants now -four
ishing there.
This official action is in keeping
with the true Partisan spirit. The one
occasion on which the FTenchman
looses his pursestrings without a mur-
muir is when an expenditure for mu-
nicipal establishment is proposed.
No other city watches over the beauty
Of its bouleVards and parks with such
Jealous care. Succeeding municipal
administrations differ widely on all
other points, but, whether the govern
meat is nationalist or socialist, its
first aim is invariably to maintain in
tact the artistic inheritance Of Eu.
ropes most beautiful capital.
There was almost a revolt, IL years
ago, when a tramway company asked
a concession for a track across the
avenue in a side street. This right
was finally bestowed but had the
council granted a subsequent appli-
cation for a track along the Champs
Elysees itself the lives of the city
legislators would have been threat
ened by an aroused populace.
The single track across the drive
way has always been regarded as a
scar. 1t is not improbable that iB
a few years the tramway company
will be required to construct a tuR-
mel beneath the surface of the street.

William Henry, Champion Life Saver,
Who Is Coming to America.

Who Is Coming to America.
Malta, Egypt, the West Indies and
South America; and now he is off to
the schools, colleges and cities of the
North American continent in search
Of converts and recruits.
AS a swimmer Mr.. Henry is famous
not only throughout the United King
dom but also all over the continent of
Europe. He was long-distance cham
pion of England in 1899, salt water
champion in 1899, and won the life
saving competition at the Olympic
games in Paris in 1900 Besides these
he has taken part in numerous inter
national competitions, winning prizes
In Austria, Belgium, France, Finland,
Germany, Holland, Italy and Sweden,
until today he is the pOssessor of
more than 600 trophies won in swim
ming and life-saVing contests.
Every school in England which has
a swimming club attached to it teaches
life-saving as part of the curriculum.
Examinations are held by the society
and certificates granted, and the great
progress made may be judged from
the increase in the number Of certifi-
Gates awarded since these practical ex-
aminations were instituted.
MY object in going to America, +"
said Mr.. Henry just before leaving
London, 'is to try and stimulate the
heads of schools and colleges there to
take up life saving and have it taught,
Just as they teach the children to
read. The Importance of a knowledge
of the best method to rescuscitate an
apparently drowned person ought to
be clear to everybody.
People get drowned IN America
Just as they do in England; but hun
dreds Of lives would be saved If would
be rescuers only knew how to go to
work. In every part of the world
there are hundreds Of abortiVe efforts
at rescue every year. Frequently what
would have been a single tragedy is
turned into a double one through the
absence Of little knowledge on the
part Of the would-be helper"

MEXICAN ROADS
Americans in the Service Are About to
Leave-Date of Resignation Not Dis
closed

Mexico City, Feb Con the eve of
the counting of ballots cast during the
past week by American conductors and
engineers in the service of the National
Railways of Mexico on the question of
resigning on a given date, in view of
the railroad to grant their recent re-
quests, it is considered practically GER
tain tonight that more than the neces-
sary two-thirds majority in the afirma-
tive will be the result The date of the
proposed designations is a closely guard
ed secret.
Members of the polling committee
who have returned from along the lines
say that there is an overwhelming vote
i'll favor of leaving the service. An off
cial of the union tonight said that if the
vote favored resignation the only
chance for the men to remain would be
the granting of their requests by the
railroad. He said that practically every
union conductor and engineer on the
National roads would leave Mexico I'M
less the railroad reconsidered their de-
mands. The union men claim to have
many Mexicans among their numbers,
and say that majority of the union
natives have voted to resign.
Officials of the road say that they are
prepared for the eventuality of many
vacated position in the service should
it arise.
Vice Grand Chief Corrigan, of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
refused to make any statement today.
He has recovered from an illness that
has kept him in his room at his hotel
for a fortnight.
