they paraded about the streets armed

Dickeys bond was fixed at $4,000,

HERE'S ANOTHER COMET
TALE--WITH0UT ANY GAS

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., April 26.-Since
Halley's comet has become a morning
object il has been observed at the
Lowell observatory every morning
The finest series of direct photo
graphs were obtained the morning of
April 10. As d rule the tail has shown
no abrupt change of direction, but on
April 19 there was quite marked bend
northward about four degrees from the
head. on the larger scale photographs
there has been a marked variation in
the position and number of the finer
streamers leaving the head, thread
like detail running through the wider
and more nebulous parts. On some
photographs short, narrow streamers
1eavinp the head are distinctly shown.
With an apparent length of nine de-
grees, as photographed on the morn
ing of April 19, the actual length of
the tail would be about twenty-five
million miles. Even-this probably does
not represent its full length, as the
exposures, on account of dawn, were
necessarily short.
Numerous Photographic observations
have been made of the spectrum or
analyzed light of Halley's comet.
These show the comets nucleus to give
an unusually bright continuous spec
trum that exhibits features showing
it to be essentially solar, which means
that a considerable part OF the light
of the nucleus is reflected sunlight
Crossing this and exactly beyond it
on each side, corresponding to parts
of the comets head outside the nue.
leus. are numerous bright spectrum
hands which are chemically attributed
TO hydrocarbon and cyanogen. These
hands are less intense in this than in
most comets. However, by far the
most intense band of the spectrum is
one commonly attributed to cyanogen.
IT is increasing in brightness, but,
sinqularlv enough, it has not appeared
IN the spectrum of the comets tail.

GIRL, 13, TAKES POISON
AS TEACHER CALLS NAME

ALTON, ILL.,. April 26.-Thirteen-
year-old Nina Anthis committed sui
eide in school this afternoon in the
presence of her teacher and thirty
schoolmates, by drinking carbolic acid.
She left a note on her desk, in which
she said her heart was broken because
her fostermother scolded her, and asked
that she be buried with a favorite doll
and a band ring she wore.
She remained in the room during the
recess, but took her place in the line
with the class for roll call. AS her
name was reached she stepped out of
line and drank the poison. She died
before a doctor reached her.

In Paris, however, he was unable
to receive the treatment for arterio
sclerosis, from which he was suffer
ing, but notwithstanding he showed
marked improvement for time, due
entirely to his wonderful vitality.
Again. in February, his death was
expected momentarily, but the crisis
passed, though leaving him less able
to withstand the next attack. Dur
ing the last week it was apparent he
could not hold out much longer. Prior
to his death he was unconscious for
some hours.
Bjornstjerne Bjornson was born at
Kvikne, Osterdalen, Norway, December

He completed his education at the Uni
versities of Christiania and Copenha-
gen, and first became known on &C

~ EORGE SPARR, a Greek employed
NI in a Los Angeles cigar store, was
VI the first person to fall foul of the

and was put under 500 bail to appear
for trial May q on a charge of refus-
ing to answer questions asked him by
w. E. Servis, census enumerator
From ten to a hundred persons may
be arrested today on n similar charge

progressed very favorably," said Bert
Farmer. census supervisor, yesterday
'.but even under the most favorable
conditions the inhabitants of the city
cannot be counted without the hearty
corporation of every citizen.
81 am sorry that we found IL neces-
sary to make an example of the man
arrested today, and l held ii off as long
as possible i'm the hope that 1t would
not be necessary, not only from dis
like to subject him to hardship, but
for the reason that the arrest involved

inspector as well.

"But the ice has been broken now,
and in the future cranks, as well as
many who have already been reported
TO the office, will meet with short
shrift in the closing days of the week.
A large number will find themselves
facing fines or Imprisonment by the
federal court If they do not change
their tactics before Saturday"
With the publication of the requests
for names and addresses of persons

work entirely cleaned up by Saturday
night, especially since Frank Virgins,

taken off their coats and pitched in to

UNFORTUNATE RESULT OF THE
ABUSE OF THE PARDoNNG
POWER.

It was never intended that the gov
ernor of Virginia should be constitnt-
ed final court of appeals in crimt-
nal cases, TO pass upon every criminal
rant an appeal to the Supreme Court.
The pardoning power is conferred
npon the executive, as we under
stand Il, in order that he may extend
mercy in those rare and extraordinary
cases in which the claims of u vic
tim of the law for clemencyy are
stronger than the demand of public
justice for the execution of 1.-THE SEN
tence of the courts. =
II the pardoning power had not
been fearfuily abused in Virginia, as
veil as in other States of the union,
rho governor of'toaay would not find
that an appreciable part of his time
is taken up by the consideration of
application for pardon. The idea
might never have been conceived
that 1t is the duty of the executive to
review the findings of the courts in
the case of every criminal possessing
collars with which TO keep lawyers
at work or having little political or
social influence. II this dangerous,
but necessary, power had been used
properly, and the people generally
and the lawyers particularly under
stood that the governor would pardon
cnly when the facts presented to him
revealed a case practically demand
ing mercy which could be granted
without outraging the dignity OF the
commonwealth, there would be com
partively few petitions for pardon.
