HADLEY Is SAVING MEN
Paroles Have Been Granted to Twenty
Five Convicts.

Five Convicts.
Governor Hadley, following out his
policy of releasing on parole young
convicts who are assured of steady
employment, has now liberated twenty
five men. This number will be dou-
bled long before the year ends. First
are the ones selected by the governor
for a trial of his new policy. So far,
only favorable reports have been re-
ceived from the paroled men.
1t is the governors idea that young
men convicted of the less reprehensl-
Bile crimes for the first time present
the most hopeful class for reforma-
ton, in cases where such results are
possible at all. AS cOnyicts in the
penitentiary, there is no hope for their
reformation. They drag their weary
sentences out working in some shop
for prison contractor and neither
they nor their families nor relatives
receive any compensation. Invariably
they leave the prison infinitely worse
than when they entered it.
Governor Hadley says he expects TO
make mistakes and occasionally pa
role a man unworthy of any humane
effort to reform him. But If fair per
cent turn out well, he will feel that
his efforts have been well rewarded.
For the most part the men released
are now employed on farms. The
governor prefers that they should be
so employed, but does not object to
other employment. In all instances
all of their earnings.

LEPER LEAVES ON TRAIN
AND ALARMS AUTHORITIES
Patient Hurried Eastward After
County Refuses Charge

SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. s.--John
Kokas, a leper is a passenger on an
east bound train, with his former
home in Greece as his destination.
Kokas wears no yellow flag or other
mark of Identification save the tell
tale marks on his skin of the terrible
disease.
His departure from Salt Lake City
last night was taken with the utmost
secrecy. Provided with a purse by
friends who were anxious to escape
the responsibility of caring for him,
he deserted the tent in which he has
been quarantined and became one or
the crowd of east bound tourists that
moves through Salt Lake at this sea-
son of the year.
Since the diagnosis OF his disease
three months ago. Kokas has been a
white elephant for the authorities.
The city attempted to interest the
county in the case, but the county
refused to admit liability; the immi-
grafton authorities could find no law
under which he could be deported, and
he finally was placed in quarantine
in a tent, where he was maintained
at the cost of his friends.
When the case was first. observed
it had not reached the infectious
stage and Kokas was allowed consid-
cradle freedom on that account. Sub
sequently the disease made rapid
progress, and exposure at this time
may not be without danger.

RATTLESNAKE VENOM
MAY Be CURE FOR FITS
Remedy Accidentally Discovered
When Man Afflicted Bitten
by Snake in Texas

NEW YORK, Sept 9-The use of
rattlesnake venom as a cure for epi-
lepsy is being tested by New York and
Philadelphia surgeons. Reports show
the venom has resulted in marked ben
eft to all of the patients so far treated.
Epilepsy is classed among the incura-
BILE diseases, and requires the most per-
sistent treatment to ameliorate the
condition of those afflicted.
A preliminary report of the results
of the venom treatment, which was
discovered accidentally as a result of
snake bite suffered by an epiieptic in
Texas two years ago, has just been
made to local medical society by DIR.
Ralph Spangler of Philadelphia.
"The venom when given hypodermic-
ally" he says, makes a profound inn
preston on the nervous system. | am
convinced from my limited experience
with it's use In epilepsy that there is a
distinct possibility of our having in
this therapeutic agent a drug which.
upon further medical investigation and
study, may be the means of modifying
the convulsions in epileptic attacks and
possibly lessening their frequency, if
not ultimately effecting cure in many
cases."

CHAMP CLARK TO WHACK
MULES If HE is ELECTED
Promises to Drive Long-Eared
Animals Through Washington

mules down Pennsylvania avenue"
The foregoing is the promise Con-
gresham Champ Clark made to a
crowd of visitors at the homecoming
celebration here In the course of an
address. The promise pleased the
crowd, and for several minutes the
speaker was unable to proceed with
his speech on account of the cheering
and yelling.
1t was Mr.. Clark's assigned duty to
welcome home many Missourians who
had strayed from the borders of the
"Show Me" state. He welcomed them
all right, but was inclined to ask why
they ever went away in the first place.
Mr.. Clark also reproached his hearers
for permitting Missouri to take back
seat, as he said it had done.
Missouri has taken a back seat too
long" he said. I'VE have done the
work and the other fellows have got
the glory Missouri has never had a
president, vice president, justice of
the supreme court or speaker of the
house. It is time we had all of these
Offices and I'm going to see to 1t that
we get one of them right away"
