MOTHER CARRIES HOD
To SAVE ERRING SON
Woman 56 Years of Age Secures
Parole from the Cover
nor of Missouri

KANSAS CITY, Sept. 1.-Hod carry
ing was not too hard work for Mrs.
Margaret La Trasse, a 56-year-old
woman of Kansas City, Kas., when she
was trying to earn money to aid in
getting her son paroled from the Mis-
souri, penitentiary, and today she had
her reward. The boy was paroled by
Governor Hadley.
Troubles never came singly for the
aged and bent mother. The flood OF
1904 almost ruined her little home,
Then her husband became ill, and he
has been almost a helpless invalid ever
since Scarcely had he taken to his
bed when the boy was sentenced to ter
years in prison for a robbery commit
ted near st. Joseph. The home was
mortgaged to get money to defend him,
but his was a lost cause.
Willie, so she called her son, went to
prison and she went to work to get
money to get him out. Finally she got
job carrying a hod, Then she pre-
vailed on her boss to let her lath and
plaster a house. Her savings invested
in a. restaurant, and aided by profits
from this venture, she managed to get
her sons case before the governor.

O'Rourke's Plans May Pre-
vent Determining Cause

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-Arrange-
ments were made at the war depart
ment today for Captain Harley B.
Ferguson, member of the board of
army engineers. appointed to remove
the wreck of the battleship Maine from
Havana harbor, to superintend the IN
vestigation into the present condition
of the wreck. Since the last meeting
of the board it has developed that at
least some of its members do not LOOK
with favor on the O'Rourke plans for
raising the battleship which We're for
warded to President Taft this week:
One member of the board has expressed
himself as believing the plan would
not give the board the proper oppor-
tunity to determine whether the Maine
was blown up by an explosive from
without or within.
The ORourke plan provides Tor the
raising of the Maine by placing cables
underneath the wreck and lifting her
bodily out of the water The army en-
gineers are said to favor the construc-
tion of caissons around the wreck and
the raising of it by that means

The Witch Eindera

Three hundred years ago the bust
ness OF finding out witches was well
established and accepted in courts of
law as highly proper. In 1649 it is re
corded that the magistrates of New
castle, England, sem to Scotland for
an expert witch finder. This gifted
person proceeded to show his skill by
discovering fifteen witches and secur-
ing their conviction. One Matthew
Hopkins was a celebrated witch finder
Of that period. 1t was easy to discover
witches when you knew how. The sus-
pected person could be forced to weep
and then detected by the well known
fact that q witch could shed only three
tears and those from the left eye, or
she could be pricked with pins to dis
the spot insensible to pain, which
was a sure sign Of dealings with the
devil. That ONE were far more
likely to dabble In Witchcraft than
men was conceded. The reason was
satisfactorily explained by a famous
German text book on witches published
IN the fifteenth century. 1t was sim
ply that women were inherently wick
ed. whereas men naturally inclined to
goodness.

GOOD FISHING
CONTINUES IN
LOCAL WATERS

Fishermen from various parts OF
the state have enjoyed a good run on
weakfish and bluefsh In and about
this city the past few months. Last
Sunday despite weather conditions,
good hauls were made here, at So
warren and near Morgan Station.
General indications are that the
boat houses in this vicinity will be
kept busy until late in the season.
Van Pelt's boat house, in this city,
Is In a protected spot when the wind
Is from the east. Just off from the
boat house Sunday Philip Quinlan
and Frank Green, of Trenton. caught
tw~enty-six weakfsh. Some big la
fayettes are biting there, also.
They are having a big run of cells
along the Staten Island shore, from
Tottenville down TO Great Kills. The
summer residents and natives stand
waist deep in the water, and while
one stirs UP the bottom the others
use a short fishing line, with soft
CLAIMS for bait Some Of the cells
weigh as much as two pounds, and
they make fine stew.
Captain Traye Bloodgood and
Percy Hartshorn didn't mind the
rainy weather Sunday. They went
out from Hartman's Morgan Sta
tion) Hotel and caught thirty-one
weakfsh from the launch Fred. They
were a sorry-looking pair when they
returned, as the rain never stopped
all the time they were fishing.

two OF Its members were promoting
the great national sport at the Della

frain from entering on the capabil-

However, he does not think much of
the game as it is played at this re-

ball players, and when 1t was learn
ed there came changes on the big
teams. Just think, these Amboyers,
one an efficient third sacker and the
other recognized as a great pinch
hitter, were sent In to twtrl against
one another. The pinch-hitter failed
to connect. as did his colleagues, and
the other side one. In the eventful
encounter referred to, Smoker, I'M
