DEATH AT PANAMA
Did Joseph D. Mann, of Louisiana, Die From Neglect

breathing very hard. He seemed
stifled by the sheet and jacket. After
few minutes he broke out again:

said. You are killing me here or
driving me mad. Take me out OF
the jacket so can get some breath.

no one was ever treated this way. I'm

saying they were brutes and ours

and told him to be quiet; that IL
he kept up reviling them they would

From my bed l watched the man
turning and twisting and listened to
his breathing, and every now and
then he would cry out in pain or re-
sumo reviling the police. He was
tossing and raving when the guard
was changed. The new guard, une.er
the direction of the officer of the
guard, came over to his cot, and be-
gan tying him more securely. He
begged them not to, and tried to pre-
vent them; but half dozen of them
fell on him and pinned down his arms
and legs. When they had finished
tying him he could move nothing but
his fingers and toes. Three heavy
sheets were across his body and he
could scarcely breathe.

sight of the man in torture, and the

Who Mann Was.
Daniel Joseph Mann was about S5
years of age. He came to the Canal
Zone in June, 1908, to become
member of the police force, and on
account of unusual aptitude in his
work, especially in the clerical branch
he was promoted at the end of six
months. In the records his home is
giving as Bogalusa, La, where an
uncle lives, but it is also known that
he was appointed from New Orleans,
where he resided. His last employ
ment in that city was as an agent for
the keystone Life Insurance Com
pany while it had offices in the Ma
sonic Temple. In March, 1909, he
left the police force on the Canal
Zone because of intoxication, and his
employment after that became I'M
certain.

it expedient to form-a great combine.
This illustration will be used by the
Democrats in literature and on the
stump to seek to show the voters
that the tariff was not properly re-
vised.
Another phase of the formation OF
the new merger which is pointed out
is that it is likely to add impetus to
the movement to have the cotton
schedule overhauled again.

One of the saddest of Stories.

The startling robbery of a High
land Park bank recently, and the sui
eide of the youth to avoid capture.
has revealed one of the saddest
stories of the drink curse in recent
history. The young man was Lamar
Harris, scion of one OF the most
prominent families of California, and
drink had transformed him from one
of the most brilliant and promising
young men of the Pacific Coast into a
reckless criminal and libertine. In
statement made TO the Associated
Press, October 18th, his mother,
Mrs. viii A. Harris, said:
In face of all the evidence and
what are apparently positive proofs,
the family is forced to relinquish all
hopes that it Is other than my unfor-
tunate son who committed suicide in
Chicago. Harris was graduate of
the University of Mississippi. Re-
turning here several years ago, he
became associated with the law firm
of his father, Will A. Harris. The
young man built up a practice that
yielded an income of SIS, 900. con-
slider that Lamar died in reality long
before he ran away from this city.

The Snnth Pole.

Several causes combine to give an

Americans that II has not received
formerly. The plan OF the National
Geographic Society and the Peary
Arctic Club to fit out an expedition
to race against Capt. Scot, OF Eng
land, for the discovery Of the South
Pole has been met with a display OF
good feeling from the other side OF
the Atlantic. There Is apparently no
disposition to regard the proposed
American expedition as an Intrusion
upon a field of exploration that right
fully belongs to the English. as some
have maintained. IL is recognized
that the Americans, in approaching
the Pole from the opposite direction
going from Cape Horn over a route
that is to a large extent untried
would be at a disadvantage. II II
could gain the coveted point In ad'
vance OF the English expedition II
would deserve the triumph that would

The most reliable authorities indi-
cate that insanity is the direct result
of alcohol in from fifteen to forty per

In pauperism and id.ocy fully fifty
per cent. are traceable to the dcgen-

epilepsy thirty per cent. is asserted
to be the lowest figure of the number
Of cases due directly to alcohol.

prisons In this country were com.
mitted for crimes perpetrated under
the influence OF spirits.

yea, even quarreled and divided over,

agreed to banish Intoxicating wine
from the Lords table. and replace II
