Nothing can be farther from the truth.
While it is true that Americas pu bic schools offer opportunities I'M
dreamed of in other lands, 1t is also true that the percentage of young po-
pie whose parents an afford to put them through the eighth grade is dis
tressingly small, the percentage of these who finish high school is priful,
and the number who complete any kind of college is ar a s a n oasis in the
desert
Education is not free where the parents of children need their support;
and 1t is not unlimited when the ambition of parents to inspire their of.
spring is lacking.
BY our free school system We solves a great problem, but only partially.
The rest viii not come until We recognize the right Of Pietro Manena to the
Same training that George Gould canget-and let upon it. We recognize
It now.

at first. He was pale. studious young
fellow. and an aid aunt kept house for
him. He seemed wrapped up in his own
affairs and bothered nobody. But IL
turned out that he was dippy on chemis-
try. He fixed up a sort of laboratory in
the basement of the house. and was al
ways trying experiments there. and the
way those experiments smelled was
caution to the board OF health. l used to
wear a base hall mask To keep out the
coarsest of the fragrance. and even then

that she landed on haystack was all
that saved her. The chemists hair was

That family was composed of rubber

the law failed. Our court and our jury
were debauched; our committee comes
back to us now, the source from which
it took its power and acknowledges That
it can do no more. 1t lays the matter in
our hands and asks for our decision. Let
me deliver the message: Justice must be
done! Dan Donnelly must be avenged to-

The clamor which had greeted the
words Of the previous speakers was as

forth acclaiming Dreux's.

He leaped lightly down and the great
out Canal street like a storming army. 1t
boiled into side streets and through every
avenue which led in the direction of the
prison. At each corner it gathered
strength: every thoroughfare belched
forth reinforcements; hundreds who had
entertained no faintest notion of taking
part fell in, were swallowed up in the
seething tide and went shouting to the
very gates of the Jail.
Once that tossing river of humanity
had been given force and direction its
character changed: it became mailed

Peaceful. middle-aged men who had
stood beside the monument buttoned up

marching silently with weapons at their

Strangest of all, perhaps, was the greet

The fiotSam and jetsam which swirled

TAKE STEPS TO STOP
RACE HORSE DOPING "
Scientific Tests Beinu Made to
Find Out When Animals
Have Been Doctored.
Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
PARIS, September 81, 1912.
The practice of doping race horses,
introduced from America, has lately
been occupying the attention Of the au-
thorities, as, in spite Of the rule forbid
ding 1t, there Is suspicion that it Is still
frequently resorted to. This rule runs: 1T
is forbidden to administer or cause to be
administered to a horse that is about to
race any stimulant whatever. by any
process, with view to its actions in that
race. Stewards may proceed to examine
any horse with view to detecting an
infringement Of this rule, and may take
any necessary measures"
This gave race committees full powers,
but in practice much difficulty is ex-
perienced in discovering fraud. 1t has
often been remarked that runners have
passed the post In an unnatural state of
foam and sweat, and close observation
has detected an exaggerated dilation of
the pupil and superintendent flow OF sa-
Iva. Such symptoms have naturally
aroused the suspicion that the animal has
been given strychnine, caffeine, SPAR
teine, or some similar alkalOid common
ly used in doping" but proof is diff
cult to obtain.
Analyses Saliva.
During the last two years. however,
Prof F'raenkel of Vienna has been ex-
perimenting with a view to finding a
scientific infallible test, and has sue
ceeded finally by Analysing the saliva
His method was applied to the Austrian
race couse and led to frequent fines and
punishments, and the French Racing
Saciety commissioned Prof. Kaufman to
study the method on the spot and re-
port. The result having been favorable,
the society decided to enforce the above
quoted rule, according to the Austrian
method. and recently at Longchamp four
winners were subjected to the test. Some
Of the saliva was caught on a wad Of
sterilized cotton wool by a veterinary
surgeon. who Immediately placed 1t in a
bottle.
The bottles were then sealed and hand
ed to NJ. Gallon, who sent them to Prof.
Kaufman for analysis, without giving
the names of the horses. 1t has been
resolved to continue the test at the next
few Longchamp meetings, and other so
cieties are already following the lead
thus given by the French Racing So
ciety.

MODERN JACK SHEPPARD
HELD BY SPANISH POLICE
Young French Criminal the
Principal of Many OAR
ing Escapes.
Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence OF The Star.
PARIS. September &c. 1912.
The Spanish police. acting on instruc-
tons from Paris, have arrested at BARGE
Iona a modern Jack Sheppard. French
man. His name Is Joseph Llinares. but
he is better known as Peter the Jump
err" a nickname given him on account
of his extraordinary activity.
Llinares is twenty-five years old now.
He has lived a consistent life of crime
since he was sixteen, was sentenced to
death in 1905, and has since been arrest
ed and escaped at least seventeen times.
The police of no country seem able to
hold him.
His first murder was that Of a man
named Boualen. who had paid court to
woman named Fifine, whom he had hon.
ored with his attentions. Llinares met
him in the street and stabbed him six
times.
The police arrested him few days
later, and Llinares was sentenced to
death. The penalty was altered to penal
servitude for life. After his arrival in
French Guiana, Llinares formed a band
Of desperadoes among the convicts there
and after extraordinary adventures got
clear away.
Stole Boat and Hid It.
They stole a boat and hid it, On the
the alarm and killed one Of them, but
the others managed to get out of range.
They rowed for twenty-eight nights
| down the River Naironi, hiding by day.
Then. without weapons and almost with
out clothes. they marched seventeen days
across virgin forest. On their way two
of the band quarreled and one of them
was killed.
Eventually the desperadoes got to La
Guayra and remained there until the
| country got too hot to hold them.
In 1910. in the course of q burglary
| Llinares fell. broke an arm and two ribs
and was taken prisoner. He escaped
| from the hospital, taking two Of the
nurses with him. and disappeared until
| nine days ago. when the woman Fifine
! informed the police that she ha1 received
| letters from him telling her to meet him
| in Barcelona. where he was going to
! build a hotel and grow rich. The wom-
| ans information led to Llinares' arrest.
| AS a matter of fact, he was arrested
| twice. The first time he escaped up the
chimney of the guardroom. across the
roof, and was not retaken for three. hours,
