and Pfeiffer ran back to their cell
and each started to read a book. and
continud to read, until they were
transferred to the dungeon on the
third tier few minutes later.
Frank Paullin, keeper of the ia |,
had been out of the city on busine s.
and returned few minutes after the
attack upon warden Blew.
He Immediately moved Hess and
Pfeiffer to the dungeon and notified
the office of County Prosecutor ].
Hampton Fithian. The Prosecutor di-
rected that statements be taken at
once from the other prisoners, and
officer Aaron Smith, of the city police
department, was detailed for this duty.
Officer Smith secured signed state
ments from the prisoners concerning
the affair, and this morning warden
Blew, who has partly recovered from
his injuries, confirmed the story of
the affair.
Hess and Pfeiffer each tell the same
story, and each denies having any
knowledge of the affair.
1t was learned last night by a re-
porter that Hess and Pfeiffer, who oc-
cupied cell No. 8, together, had
planned the affair in the afternoon,
and after their escape from the Jail
were to steal the first automobile they
saw on the street, and make their es-
caue out of the CITY, Both criminals
were desperate. They figured it was
a case of prison anyway, and were
willing to take the desperate chance,
even if it resulted in murder. Pfeiffer
is 20 years old, married and has one
child, he was arrested for stealing a
horse, and the case against him was
very clear.
| Hess is "a years old, and has a. wife
who is at present in a very delicate
condition. He was arrested for steal
ing an automobile, and had succeeded
in creating a certain amount of SYM
pathy for his present position. To a
reporter last night, he said that he
| thought me was crazy. And Hess
will probably switch from the SYM
pathy game to the crazy issue, in
making his defense. Really both OF
the yong men have criminal inclina-
tions, and both are bad men.

complaint of Sylvester Mcpherson, a
colored man, who resided neighbors to
them.
The charge, though at first grave,
involving the alleged firing load of
hnckshot through the Mcpherson win
dow, resolved itself tinslly, through
the cross questioning of Frank s. Nc
Kee, Jr., the Bakers lawyer, to
threats and shaking..of the fist in Nc
Pherson's face on the part of W.
Baker.
Edward Baker was discharged and
William was placed under 5000 bail for

Wage Increase Refusal Starts
' Trouble in Utah Cop
per Region.

BINGHAM, Utah, Sept 19-Bullets
greeted IS deputy sheriffs who attempt
ed to draw the fires under the boilers
OF the great copper mines here. From
behind breastworks they had thrown
up, striking miners. who quit work
yesterday because the Utah Copper
Company and several other concerns re-
fused them an increase in wages, fired
upon the officers and drove them from
the mine works. None was injured
Early yesterday, however. while
armed strike pickets stood guard at the
approaches of the various properties
firing shots into the air. one of their
number was wounded by Theodore
Schweitzer, a deputy. The deputy had
ordered the picket to cease firing. Upon
his refusal, Schweitzer shot the miner
in the wrist.
Following a conference with mine Of
icials. Sheriff Sharp, of Salt Lake coun-
ty, wired Governor Spry that his force
of deputies could not handle the stu
alton. The governor abandoned a
speaking tour and hurried to Salt Lake
City to make personal investigation OF
the situation. All saloons have been
closed by order of Sheriff Sharp.
The Bingham miners made an in
formal demand several weeks ago for
| n fiat increase of wages in all depart
ments of 80 cents a day. On September
the Utah Copper Company announced
horizontal Increase OF 25 cents a day
for all labor, and the other employers
adopted the same scale. This was not
satisfactory to a majority OF the men,
and agita ton for the full 50-cent raise
continued.

BRAIN OF DR.. M'GEE
. BELOW WEIGHT OF
AVERAGE SCIENTIST
Figures Given Out by Noted
Philadelphia Spe-
cialist.

The brain of DR.. w MCGEE, the
noted Government anthropologist who
died In Washington recently and left
his body to science, weighs /, 40 grams,
according to the report given out by
DR.. Edward A. Spitzka, the noted Phil
adelphia specialist to whom the dead
man beqeuathed his brain. This weight
ls, according to DIR. Spitzka, heavier
than the average human brain, but
lighter than that of the average sci
enlist.
Scientists. says DR.. Spitzka have, as
rule, the heaviest brains Of any class
Of men. After an examination OF the
brains of twelve famous men of sci
ence, DR.. Spitzka says their average
weight Is 1852 grams. He admits his
experiments have been limited and does
not claim this figure would stand should
he have the opportunity of making more
investigations, but 1t Is the figure he
has arrived at after the observations
he has made.
Next to scientists in weight come the
brains of politicians, soldiers and the
Ike, whom pr. Spitzka has classed un-
der one head as men Of action Four
teen such brains averaged 1880 grams.
Twenty-six artists and writer's, the
third class In point of brain weight,
averaged .4& grams. And forty-eight
men In the natural sciences averaged
lao grams.
DIR. McGee had an unusually large
bead, and there Is a possibility that his
brain at one time weighed more than
at his death. Or. Spitzka believes that
the brain of Daniel Webster, who had
a notorioLsly large cranial cavity. must
have weighed at least 200 grams more
when the noted orator was In his prime
than II did at his death. The weight
of Webster's brain at his death was
1,735 grams.
No Information has been given out
about tue brain weight of the late
Major ] w. Powell, whose brain was
in the custody of DR.. MCGEE for more
than d year, and was wilied to DR..

when he sees them in the morning his

my sheaves over on his field so that he
shall rejoice ii the morning when he

The following Is a case Of poetic JUS
tee as meted out in France: A Pari-

when he heard a knock at the door.
As he wished to be alone he took no
notice Of the knock. but went on with
his work. A few moments later he
heard Il key moving in the lock. Not
doubling that his visitor was a robber,
the architect armed himself with a re-
volver and quietly hid behind some
curtains. Presently the thief entered
and proceeded to rifle the place. Then
suddenly he started and grew pale. In
q mirror he had seen a revolver leveled
at his head from behind the curtains.
"Open the window" ordered the ar
chitect, ''and shout 'Police!'"
The burglar had no alternative but
to obey and so summoned the officer by
whom he was to be arrested.-Green

AE,ath.red neautx.

The quezal Of Guatemala is consid-
cred the most beautiful bird in the
world. It's plumage yies with the rain
bow and shines with a metallic luster.
Until within the last few years 1t was
unknown to science, mainly owing to
the fact that 1t is a hermit among the
feathered creatures, delighting In the
silence Of high attitudes. It dwells on
mountain heights above 1000 feet In
elevation. The quezal was the royal
bird Of the Aztecs, and its plumes were
used to decorate the h~eaddresses and
cloaks Of the kings Of that land. Its
breast Is a brilliant scarlet, while its
green tail attains a length Of three feet.
It Is about the size Of the common
pigeon. It nests In holes in rotten trees.
