ASKS REBATE ON TICKET
OF MAN DEAD EN- ROUTE
Passenger Dies at Sea-Brother
Wants Passage Money

NEW YORK, Oct. 1S.-An unusual
demand for the refunding of money
Of an unfinished steamship trip has
been made on the Fabre line by Jo-
seph Kathor of Des Moines, Iowa.
The request for rebate is made on
the transportation of his brother Carl,
who started with him to Naples from
this city in September.
The brother, described as a wealthy
contractor OF Des Moines, died when
the Roma was fifty hours out Of port
and was buried at sea.
Joseph Kathor, on returning to New
York this week. wrote to the steam
ship officials declaring that his dead
brother had not had a square deal,
having died before the steamer had
carried him two days. He requested,
therefore, that five-sixths of the price
Of his brothers transportation be re-
funded. The dead brother enjoyed
only two days of the twelve-day trip

NEGRO ROBBER SENTENCED
TO ONE YEAR OR LIFE
Chicago Judge Says Press Could
Frighten Criminals

CHICAGO, oct. 18.-Judge Scanlan
in sentencing Joseph Jackson, a negro,
to an indeterminate term of imprison-
ment of frome one year to life, en-
phasized the worth of newspapers to a
community.
'If our newspapers would publish
sentences, crime would diminish rap
idly" said Judge Scanlan. "If rob-
bers learned through the newspapers
that they were going to get life impris-
onment when they come over here, neil
ther the robbers nor their pals would
be long in recognizing the best thing
to do"
A jury found Jackson guilty of the
charge of thrusting a revolver in the
faces of several mattresses in a res
taurant and robbing the cash regis
ter of $40.

RURAL POPULATION OF
MIDWEST IS DECREASING
Census Figures Show Growth of
the Cities at Expense of
the Country

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-The census
for the state Of Illinois, announce
ment of which is expected within two
weeks, will show a decrease in the
rural population, according to the pre-
diction of census officials, who like
wise predict a falling off in the rural
population of Indiana and Ohio and
possibly other middle western states
from which the returns will come in
their alphabetical order.
The Michigan census, which was
given out in advance bf other states
on account Of the election laws that
were to be affected, showed a marked
falling off in many of the counties.
More recently the decreased showing
in Missouri excited much comment.
Reasons given for the decrease. in
the rural sections Of Illinois, the show
ing of which is in prospect, are:
improvements in farm machinery.
Wealth of the farmers, who with
their large holdings do not care to
divide them into small farms and who
are sending their boys to the west to
take up new land in the less settled
regions.
The natural "city drift" about which
so much has been said, also Is an ele-
ment, but the experts think the true
explanation lies in a combination of
the reasons given above.
It is pointed out that practically all
land in Illinois is now occupied. The
improved farm machinery enables the
farmer to work his land without so
much help as previously.
The farmers, seeing the land all
taken up, do not want to break up
their big holdings, as they would have
to if they kept their boys near home.
They are looking ahead to a greater
value of the larger estates.
OF course the urban increase will
make the state as a whole show a
substantial growth.

SHIPS PROPELLER RIPS
HOLE IN VESSEL; SAVED

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1s.--The Amer
Hawaiian freighter Nevadan reached
this port tonight with the aid Of tug,
after having sustained q most peculiar
marine mishap.
Early Monday morning, while outward
bound, the port propeller flew off the
shaft and punctured a hole in the port
quarter, through which the water poured
in great volumes. Bulkheads were closed
just in time to keep the sea out of the
engine room, and the Nevadan arrived
here with eighteen feet of water in her
No. and No. holds.
The ship listed to port and consider
able cargo had to be jettisOned to right
her. At one time the crew thought the
vessel would. turn turtle.
Distress signals were observed when
the Nevadan passed Point Reyes Mt noon,
and tub was sent out. Extra pumps
were put at work when the boat reached
the dock, and she probably will be
beached or dry dOcked tomorrow. The
damage to the cargo is considerable.
The Nevadan left here for Honolulu
via Puget sound last Sunday.
