SELLS BODY AND COURTS
HOLD CONTRACT GOOD
Riches Can Not Break Deal
With Faculty of Medicine

The courts of Sweden, according to a
Paris contemporary, have recently had
an interesting point to decide. Some
years ago young man in dire distress
obtained a small sum of money from
the faculty of medicine and conveyed
to that learned society in return his
body after death. Immediately this
grewsome bargain was completed the
young mans fortune changed. The
money so strangely obtained enabled
him to make a large fortune. With his
riches his views altered. He felt it
unpleasant to be walking about know
ing that the faculty had a lien on his
body. He enjeavored to rescind the
contract, but the faculty would not
agree. He sought the intervention of
the courts, with small satisfaction. for
it has been decided that the contract is
regular, and he has been condemned in
costs.

FREE TEA SERVED
IN ST. PETERSBURG

The Russian government is commonly
supposed to be autocratic and even
despotic. but, like other autocracies. II

paternaL
In St. Petersburg tea stalls are pro-
vided by the authorities for the pre-
vention of the spread of cholera. saws
the London Globe. The disease was
traced to the use of polluted water. and.
accordingly, the government established
these stalls all over the country for the
supply of beverages that should be free
from all suspicion. The notice on ton
of the stalls states that the sanitary
committee provides hot water, tea and
sugar free of charge to all corners.
The attendants are paid by the gov

SAN JOSE CARNIVAL
HASADDEDFEATURE
Fair Ruler of Festival Eager to
Be First Woman Aviator ,
in the State
Especial Dispatch TO The CALI

SAN JOSE, May THAT the beauti-
full and accomplished queen of all the
roses, Miss Anne Manhire of this city,
will be the first California woman avi-
ator, was announced today by the avi-
alton meeting committee of the rose
carnival to be held in this city next
week.
Miss Manhire, elected queen of the
festivities by students from all parts
of the state from among the 500 girls
in the state normal school, wants to
f1y-and probably will.
AS overseer of the festivities she
will gracfously open the meet next Fri
day and will be allowed to choose from
among the four Curtiss biplanes the
one in which she would like to soar.
Her ambition was discovered yester-
day by a newspaperman, who, realizing G
the advertising value of the thing, lost
no time in acquainting the aviation
committee and carrying back to her an
invitation to ride as passenger in one
of the machines each day of the meet.
She is a little past her majority and
says she will laugh at paternal opposi-
tion to her plans. She is a total stran-
ger to fear and even halls with delight
the opportunity of flying in the face of
providence" and making her first flight
on a Friday, the 18th.
Dainty Queen Anne will be one of
the busiest girls in San Jose next week.
From the coronation ceremonies early
Wednesday morning to the closing of
the mardi gras festivities late Saturday
night she will be kept on the go from
one end of the city to the other. She
is even now in demand everywhere and
is the most sought person in the coun-
ty. The cares of her regal estate rest
easily upon her, though, and with all
the hustle of preparation she is prob
ably the least ruff1ed of the thousands
who will have, directly or indirectly,
parts in the carnival.

ANOTHER REFUGEE
IN IMMUNITY BATH
One More Confession Secured in
Illinois Bribery Scandal

CHICAGO, May 7-"If they must
paint the state of Illinois black, by
- I'll help them-blacker than any
state in the union. so help me. -
Floating through the open transom
of witness room today, the words
quoted seemed to tell of a desperate
frame of mind among some of the men
most interested in the grand jury in
vestigation of bribery charges against
Illinois legislators.
State Attorney Wayman's immunity
bath accepted another refugee today in
the person of Michael Link, democratic
representative from Mitchell, who made
confession similar to those of the
two first "squealers," Representatives
Beckmeyer and White.
A night in the custody of a detective
with an indictment for perjury against
him proved too much for Link. To-
day he went before the jury and
changed his testimony, and the charge
of perjury against him was quashed
by the state attorney.
1t is said to be Wayman's determi-
nation to deal leniently with the small
fry that he may make sure of the
men higher up" Lee O'Neil Browne,
alleged to have handled the Lorimer
money, and Robert E. Wilson, charged
with having distributed the Jackpot
at ST. Louis, furnished bonds today.
Representatives Clark of VandaIia and
Blair of Mount Vernon were among
the days witnesses.
OF three mysterious witnesses who
went before the inquisitors, two were
discovered to be Allen c. Tanner, gro
Ger, and J. ]. Baker, newspaper publish
er of Mount Vernon, Blair's home.
They were required to testify about
allegations that Blair was unusually
flush with money following the ses-
sion of the legislature which elected
Lorimer.

Vital Need of Fairgrounds

Editor Call: While our citizens are
deploring the late defeat of our school
boy athletes let them also recall the
bond election OF June last, in which
they had such a splendid chance TO
remedy the evil. No pains were spared
in last Junes campaign to emphasize
the peculiar Importance and value of
the playground, especially in the con
gested and entirely neglected parts of
the city.
They are in no sense luxuries. as
some other matters voted on might be
deemed to be, but imperative necessi-
ties. And the Mission school children
turned out in hundreds to beg of US
some playground other than the gut
ter or the fast disappearing vacant lot.
Yet, owing to public apathy, the play
ground bonds got only about 661s in
stead of the required 66 2-3 vote
If a few score of the citizens who
may read these lines will only do their
duty next time we can not only i'm
prove our athletic records but what is
much more important. greatly improve
the health and vitality of thousands of
our boys and girls.
