GRIEF MAKES MAN MUTE.

Father Of Girls Buried in Sand House
May Never Speak Again
Kansas City-Grief over the loss of
his two little daughters, Ethel and
Flossie, who were killed when their
sandpit playhouse caved in, caused
Andrew Hutchinson, of Kansas City,
Kan, to lose his power of speech.
Hutchinson, well-digger, suffered
from an injury several years ago and
for the last year has worked only q
small part of the time. When the
cavern occurred, he ran to the sand
pit and looked at the bodies of his
daughters. He did not return home
for an hour, but sat on a pile of rails
and gazed at the heap of sand. He
has been mute since' and physicians
fear he will never speak again.

Arrests Recipient.
San Francisco Customs Inspector
Boulbard earned S. ION the side's BY
doing an errand for Ng Suen, Chinese
cook on the. elmer Korea, just in from
the Orient. Lee Bing Hong, the
wealthy curio dealer Of this city, is in
jail here for smuggling and with an
additional charge against him Of brib-
ing an officer. Boulbard, the first To-
cal customs officer to confess the re-
ceipt of bride, is receiving the con-
gratulations of his superiors.
The Korea had been searched by the
customs inspectors on her arrival and
yielded no opium. Thereupon Inspec-
tor Boulbard, donning citizens
clothes, joined the loafng longshore-
men on the dock. Toward night his
vigil was rewarded by an anxious-ap-
pearing Chinese, who singled him out
from the others on the dock and asked
him to run an errand for him.
"You likee make five dollar said
the Chinese.
"Sare," said Boulhbard, forgetting
for the moment that he drew com
Portable salary.
The Chinese going to the cooks
quarters on the Korea promptly
brought ashore bulky package which
Boulbard, following instructions, de-
livered to Lee Bing Hong.
Lee received the package with q
wide smile, which froze into an ex-
preston of horror when Boulbard
flashed his star, after pocketing the
money which Lee rendered him.
The package, according to Boul-
bard's report, contained $4,000 OF
opium.
Ng Suen, an alien Mongol, cannot
be brought ashore without special ar
rangements with the immigration
officials. If it can be brought about,
the cook will be held as witness and,
if possible, as defendant against 9
smuggling charge.

the first degree in Judge Bordwel]'s
court Friday. His brother, John J.
Mcnamara, secretary of the Interna.
tional Association of Bridge and
Structural Iron Workers, entered a
plea of guilty to dynamiting the LEV.
ellyn Iron Works in Los Angeles
Christmas day, 1910.
James B. McNamara's confession
clears up absolutely the tragedy of the
explosion and fire which, at Lon
o'clock on the morning of October |,
1910, wrecked the plant of the Los
Angeles Times and caused the death
of 81 persons. For 10 of these deaths
the Mcnamara brothers were indicted,
and j. B. Mcnamara was on trial spe-
officially for the murder of Charles ].
Haggerty, a machinist, whose body
was found nearer than that of any
other to the spot where the dynamite
was supposed to have been placed.
1t is expected that District Attorney
John D. Fredericks will ask for life
imprisonment for James B. McNam.
ara, the confessed murderer, and prob
ably IA years for his brother.
AS the two brothers sat together in
the county Jail, refusing to see any
one or make any statement, an inter.
est second only to the occurrence itself
hung about the question with refer.
ence to James B.
"Why did he confess?"
To this opposing counsel gave the
same answer.
He confessed because he was gull
ty, and that's all there is to it," de-
clared District Attorney Fredericks.
He was counselled to confess be-
cause that was the best thing he could
do, in the opinion of COUNSEL" said
Attorney Clarence S. barrow, chief OF
counsel. II will say now that there
was no other reason or motive in 1t.

The Boy and His Opinions.

In the Woman's Home Companion
for September writer on "The Boy
and His Opinions" reports a
case that contains valuable lessons
for both boys and mothers. my
son." mother said, with, perhaps q
mote Of amused irritation in her voice,
to the spruce college-boy, who had
questioned the wisdom of one Of her
actions, "you must understand once
for all that do not wish tc have you
criticise me on any subject whatso-
ever"
The lad opened wide his eyes, and
asked, "do you mean I am never to
tell you when you do thing think
isn't right" "I mean Just that" I"
replied the mother. "For number
OF years 1 have conducted my affairs
with tolerable success without the
benefit of your criticism, and I have
faith to believe I can keep on doing
it. Of course, you will crlticise me
in your own mind; that is quite nat
urai and I take it for granted; but
I don't wish to hear your criticism
unless ask for it."
Of course the boy did not like 1t,
but he respected his mother too much
to show any evidence of that fact.
The writer in the Woman's Home
Companion says he admired the
mother for having given the boy the
advice she did, and goes on to say
that no essential part Of teaching a
boy to think for himself is served by
permitting him to find fault with his
parents. AS the mother said he is
likely to criticise mentally the con-
duct and demeanor of his parents, to
loo ok down upon their beliefs and
theories and flatter himself he could
manage most of their affairs far bet
ter than they themselves do.
All this is in way 8, part of the
boys training in learning to think
and act for himself, and the fact that
he will probably discard most of his
experimental theories, which his par
erts had tested and thrown aside in
their younger days, and come around
eventually to the codes Of his father
and mother, does not make the edu-
cational value Of the earlier process
any less. But there is TO gain for
him in the public expression of his
adverse opinions, and the self-con-
troll involved in their repression is
good for his soul.
In all other lines, however, en-
courage your children to air their
views. Perhaps this might not be
so desirable If they were likely not
to be your views as we'll as his. But
the wandering seeds Of opinion to
which I have already referred will
grow in the soil you have cultivated
and you will be able to advise him
which are weeds to be rooted out, and
which are useful growths to be tend
ed and fostered. Remember that
some day your boys and girls will
have to do all their own thinking.
