IS SHOT TO DEATH STILL IT CROWS A
Convicted Murderer Executed
by a Firing Squad.
Plea to Meet Fate With Open
Eyes Is Denied.

Salt Lake City, Sept. 26.-''Tns
gamest man I ever saw die" was the
eulogy pronounced upon young Harry
Thorne this morning after Thorre ha 4
been shot to death by executioners at
the state prison for the murder OF
George Fassel IN a grocery store hold
up two years ago. The execution took
place at 6:34.
Thorne's request that newspaper
men be excluded from the death cell
and the scene of the execution was
granted, but his plea to meet his fate
with open eyes did not avail as it was
feared that the gaze of the victim
m ight disconcert the official marksmen.
BY way of indulgence, Thorne was
permitted to view all the preparations
for execution and the bandage was not
placed over his eyes until the fir'rg
order was about to be given.
Although only in his early twenties,
Thorne had served sentences in Cali
fornia prisons before his crime hele

in a tent one mile east of this town
Tuesday night McKnelly and his
daughter were dead when a neigho
called at the tent Wednesday morn
ing. Mrs. McKnelly died in hospital
at o'clock last night. The son is a
car repairer and he was missing from
his work two hours near midnight
Tuesday night. This was about the
time the McKneIlys were murdered.

quqired at the hospital about the con-
dition of his mother. He is unable t.
explain where he was while he Wd5

OLD MAPS SHOW EDEN
Priceless Relics Will Be Used to Deco
rate Windows.

New York. Sept. ga series of price
less. old maps, representing the develop
ment ofthe art of may making from the
first to the seventeenth centuries are to
used as window decorations in the big
granite museum of the American Geo
graphical Society here. The idea of uti
lizing the windows for map transpar-
encies occurred to DR. Edward Steven
son. secretary of the Hispanic Society
OF America He saw that the building
with its many windows received plenty
of sunlight, which made windows well
fitted for transparencies, and that the
transparencies would go far to hide the
ueliness of the iron bars on the outside
OF the windows.
Officers of the society approved the
idea and the maps, AZ in number, are
now being put in place

MUTINEERS EXECUTED
More Than 200 of Them Condemned
Without a Trial.

WI Chang. China. Sept. 26.-More
than 200 mutinous soldiers were sum-
marily executed without the formality
of a court martial by the loyal troops
commanded by General Lii Yuan Heng
in consequence of the outbreak that
occurred among the soldiers encamp-
ed outside the walls of this city. The
remainder of the mutineers fled into
the open country after they had at
tackled the town and been defeated by
the loyal garrison.
The mutineers were all cavalrymen
and numbered over 1000. They had
arranged with the artillerymen quar-
tered inside the walls TO join in the
movement but the gunners failed TO
keep their promise.
General Chi-Men was warned of the
mutireers' plot. He permitted the city
gates to be opened as had been ar
ranged by the conspirators, and a body
of mutineers numbering fifty, who

removing concrete forms that upheld
the fifth and top floor of the structure.
The concrete was laid last Saturday
and the contractors believed it had

forms that supported it. Ten men

in as soon as the floor sank. Seven OF
the number were taken out by rescuers.

Divorce Epidemic of Summer
Extends to Fall.
Over so Cases in Shawnee Since
July.

While reformers are discussing the
evils of divorce and are proposing rem
edies for it, the largest assortment OF
divorce petitions in the history of the
county are being rolled up at the
Shawnee county court house. week
ago the State Journal contained an
article showing the total divorce 'peti-
tions filed since the first of July &c
number nearly 20. Now the total Is
over so, and there remain several days
vet before the end of the present month
So far in September there have been
2S suits for divorce filed, an average
of almost one and a half for every
working day so far in the month. The
total since July 1, less than three
months, now aggregates 80 petitions
and amounts almost to half of the total
number of suits of all descriptions filed
in the court during the period men
toned.
In July the largest number of divorce
petitions in any one month in the his
tory of the county were filed. The
total was SO applications for DEGREES.
In August there was a big slump in
the divorce business. But this month
there has been "a big increase again.
August applications numbered only 10
September already has 2S.
In July there were A suits filed that
did not ask for divorce, to SO applica-
tions for divorce. But of the A men
toned. two were for alimony, making
a total of Il suits growing out of
marital unhappiness to AZ for every
thing else including damages, quiet til
tie suits, petitions for the recovery of
money, etc
In August a total of 81 suits were
filed. only 15 of which were for divorce
So far in September the divorce suits
have constituted a good deal more
than half of the suits brought Only
AZ suits have been filed. And % OF
them have been for divorce.
The recent filings seem to contradict
the theory advanced last July that di-
vorce petitions were more numerous in
hot weather The big bulk of the di-
vorce business in September has been
since the weather has become quite
cool So some other reason will have
to be assigned for The big increase in
the divorce business.
1t is interesting to note that only nine
of the applicants for divorce during the
whole period are men. This must
speak volumes for the cruelty of hus-
bands nearly 80 per cent of the suits
charging cruelty, and many of them
charging actual physical abuse. About
talf of the suits brought b. wives seek
alimony as well as legal separation.
The divorce petitions have aVerag aged
about one to two marriages, which
would lead the casual observer to de-
eide that half of the marriages in this
county prove so unhappy that they end
in the divorce court-a bad showing for
those contemplating maria ge.

This Year From
All Parts of United States.
THREE FOREIGN COUNTRIES
Mexico, Africa and Jamaica
Send Scholars to Topeka.
Bright Prospects for University
This School Year.

That Washburn college is one of the
cosmopolitan universities of the west
is shown in a report made public today
revealing the fact that the Topeka
school draws students from % states
and three foreign countries. The en-
rollment of more than 500 students to
date tells the story.
A big majority Of the students reg
istering in Washburn this year come
from Kansas-this is the natural field
of the Topeka university. But the Uni
ted States is represented in collese
men coming from as far as Maine IL
the northeast, California in the west,
Alabama and Texas in the south and
Michigan and Montana in the north.
From foreign lands the college is ed
ucating two students from Mexico, two
sons of missionaries from the west
coast of Africa and a law student from
jamaica
one of the advantages of a college
education in a large school is the asso-
citation with students from far of
states and lands. Educators believe it
takes the rough edges from provincial
ism. WaShburn with her cosmopolitan
attendance should furnish all the pol
ish'' advantages of a big eastern uni
versity.
The States That Contribute.
The states contributing students to the
school of Ichabod are. in rank of attend
ance:
Kansas, Missouri Nebraska, California,
Pennsylvania, Illinois. Oklahoma. Coio-
RADIO. Iowa Texas, Arkansas. Montana.
Wyoming, Maine. Massachusetts, Minue-
sofa, Wisconsin. Michigan, Alabama, Mis-
sissippi, Ohio, Indiana, and New Mexico.
In Kansas the colleges draw largely
from the graduates of the high schools in
their home towns. Kansas university
draws from Lawrence, Friends and Fair
mount from Wichita. College of Emporfa
from Emporia, Agricultural college from
Manhattan, Baker from Baldwin and so
on throughout the state.
Topeka sends 220 students to the college
proper in Washburn. The remaining hLu-
dreds come from smaller cities and towns
from all sections of the state The towns
furnishing a large part Of the enrolment
are;
Topeka. Osborne. Eureka, Independents.
Russell Onaga, Kirwin. Anthony, Norton.
Oberlin. Lenora, Scranton. Watervtiie.
Severance. Rossville, Lyons Ottawaw.
Stockton. Centralia Overlook. Valley
Falls. Phillipsburg. Kansas City, Dodge
City. Yates Center. Usage City, Norton
Vile, Ellis and Abilene.
Seventy-two other towns furnish one
student each.
The college authorities are anticipating
a banner year at Washburn this season.

NOW MURPHY EXPLAINS
Owner of Cubs Just Cannot Quit
Talking.

Chicago, Sept. 26.-President Chas.
W. Murphy of the Chicago National
Baseball club issued another statement
last night in which he said that any
assumption which might have been
gained on account of his first state
ment, that the Cubs had been guilty
of wholesale dissipation during the
season lust closed was wrong. He
said it was not his desire to give the
impression that the club was seeking
an excuse for losing pennants. He
declared, however. that he was sure
better results would follow if the play
ers were total abstainers and for this
reason he already had begun to take
steps in this direction for next season.
