WAYNE COUNTY MAN

JOHN MCNAMARA OF MOUNT
PLEASANT, OLDEST RESI-

John Mcnamara, born June %,
1902, died Thursday at the home of
his niece, Miss Ellen Sullivan, of
Rock Lake. Wayne county. Mr..
Mcnamara for many years lived in
Mount Pleasant township. The fun
eral took place Saturday.
Mr.. Mcnamara was born in Ire
land, emigrating to this country
when a young man. Had he lived
for five months he would have been
10 years old. His age at the time
OF his death was 109 years, six
months and twenty-six days. Since
the first OF the year, up to and in

WILL" SWARTS,

Jury AcquitS ChiCken-Fan.
Cier of Larceny
VERDICT MEETS WITH POPULAR
APPROVAL GUARDIAN AP-
pOINTED-COURT NOTES.

We, the jury, in the case of the
Commonwealth versus G. w. Swarts,
find the defendant, G. w. Swarts,
mot Guilty."
Such was the popular verdict re-
turned to the Court, Friday after
noon, at eighteen minutes past two
O'Clock, by the jury in the celebrated
Lake Ariel grist mill case, following
four hours wrestling over the de-
PENDANTS guilt or innocence, the mat
ter having been put in their hands
at forty-eight minutes past nine
O'Clock, that morning.
John T. Bryant. Honesdale, was
the foreman of the jury. When he
and the rest of the jurymen were
asked whether they were all content,
they nodded their heads emphati-
cally, and seemed much relieved at
being freed from their strenuous
labors.
The defendant and his wife took
the verdict without betraying any
signs OF the emotions they must
have felt. Once having left the
Court Room they were overwhelmed
with congratulations by their many
friends who crowded around them
to express their delight at the happy
Contrary to expectations the case
was not given to the jury late Thurs
day afternoon, as had been antici-
pated. In view OF the fact that the
twelve men selected to decide
Swarts' fate had been sitting all day
under downpour of eloquence rain
ed upon by two of Lackawapna
county's best lawyers, aided and
abetted by two of Wayne's ablest at
torneys, Judge Searle took compass
sion upon them, and did not deliver
his charge to them until Friday
morning.
With the legal subtlety for which
he is famous, which has elevated him
to the bench and which has won
him prompt and decided recognition
in the various county seats of the
State, where he has so freQu tntly
been called upon to decide cases of
the most intricate nature, Judge
Searle rightly divided the law to the
twelve yeomen. Told them that 1t
was for them to decide whether
Swarts took the money with intent
to defraud the Bortrees. Cautioned
them that they couldn't convict a
man of larceny unless he intends to
steal property to convert to his own
use. Reminded them that the evil
dence of good character is evidence
which may raise a reasonable doubt
in the minds of the jury.
Said a prominent attorney to
Citizen man during the progress of
the trial: when the people in the
court room feel certain way, the
jury will feel the same way"
He was a good guesser Ninety
nine out of every hundred in the
court room felt that Swarts was an
innocent man. And the twelve men?
How could they help being affected
by this powerful mental aura?

Queenstown, Jan. 20.-Inter-
viewed by the New York Times cor
respondent, the Rev. II. G.. Purkiss,
of Lakeville, Wayne county, Pa, whe
was obliged to land here from the
liner Philadelphia on account OF
having lost his passage ticket, states
that he left Tavistock Tuesday for
southampton, where he arrived az
2:45. His baggage was then safe
on the dock, where II remained over
night His ticket and papers were
in his bag. BY permission Of the
officers he was allowed to board the

and others made search for his bag
gage and after considerable difficult

bells, which were affixed to the bag
gage, torn off, and third-class ones,
bearing a different name, substitute
ed. Opening the bag he discovereA
that his ticket and papers were mise
ing.
Mr.. Purkiss went to Rochester,
England, last night, where he has
friends. He intends to make inquir-
les into the matter and hopes to sail
for America Wednesday. He feels
disappointed at his alleged loss.
Against his story the White Star
agents allege that he came on board
without ticket. They cannot trace
one ever having been issued to him
Before he left Southampton he call
ed at the American Line office, and
then he had not a ticket, they say,
and wished to pay his fare on the
other side.
The company decided to land him
at Queenstown, he being ticketless.
The company deny Mr.. Purkiss'
assertions. The American consul al
Queenstown paid his fare to Eng
land. The American Line agents
greatly resent his allegations of rob-
berry on board the Philadelphia"

Ilakeville Not Moving,

When the members of the Primi-
tive Methodist church at Lakevills
assembled Sunday morning the news
OF the misfortune to their pastor,
Rev H. G. Purkiss, who was robbed
of his ticket at Queenstown, ireland.
and compelled to leave the liner
Philadelphia, had been thoroughly
circulated. Methods for getting
Rev. Mr.. Purkiss out of the difficulty
ito which the loss of his purse has
involved him were not seriously con-
sidered, as the members believe that
his friends in England will come to
his rescue and see him safely started
on the return journey. The minister
was sent on the trip abroad by the
members of his congregation. Mon
ey was raised by church entertain
ments and only a few days ago the
final payment on a loan of 5000 Sc
cured from a business man, was
made.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS HAVE TAKEN UP THE CARE
 OF THE UNFORTUNATE AND FEEBLE MINDED

which suspected cases are slowly and
 carefully diagnosed. From the spec | ial class the child of temporary re-
 tardation is returned to the grades. Some of the border line cases of l eble-mindedness and the high grade | cases pass from the school to em- Z ployment Those who go from the class to the state school for the fec ble-rninded are removed from the community to which they are men, ace, are themselves protected, and ' are taught to assist the state to-
 ward their own support in so far as
 they are capable of doing so. Ex- cept in the exceedingly small number ! of instances where the feeble-mindcd child has good home, local com
 munitles cannot safely retain feeble l minded children beyond the age of l adolescence.
 The public school can render it's ! best service by teaching the feeble minded not ordinary academic studies but such elements of simple industry as will most nearly render them self supporting when at about the age of duOIcScelcc llley 6O tO tH' Nuotoo'<i' home
 The teacher of the special class should have the ability to enter into sympathetic relations with parents of feeble minded children, gradually and gently ncquaintinS them with the child's real condition and with the advantage which the state institution offers. and finally securing their con- sent to a transfer.
 While in the special class each child should be put into as good physical condition as possible This is d perquisite in determining the child's mental condition.
 The public school is one of our social institutions, and as such ii may justly be expected in work to do whatever it's publicly provided facilities can accomplish without neg lecting it's other functions. By gath ering sub- normal children into spec ial classes and fitting them for par tial self-support in institutions, the school renders only a reasonable ser vice for the segregation of the fec minded it equally in the interest of the normal children whose pro- gress they would otherwise impede.

MORE KENTUCK|ANS
 FOR Alk|RE RANCH
New Colony of Best People in the World Settles in the Salt
 River Valley.

George Alkre. who has engaged ! extensively in the industry of im- 1 porting, acclimatinS and settling l thoroughbred Kentuckians on Sali river valley acres. using his larg. l ranch near Alhambra as d clearing house. reports the receipt of q new | invoice for the spring trade. The | latest consignment, be said. includes Mir. and Mrs. Elmer Bell. his broth CT Irwin Bell. his parents, MT. and Mrs. Bell. John Singleton and a MT Bradshaw.
 MT. Alkirc says he recommends his
 latest requirement ns about the finest
 bunch of people he has yet handled through his agency. and the work ingcst" crowd he ever had anything to do with. He says they are just | the sort Arizona needs. He should subtract Elmer Bell however from the invoice of new good for he was here before and went back after his wife and the rest of the party. Mir Alkirc says his plan of operations is ideal. He gets hold of a nice young man from back east, gives him d patch of land on terms that enable him to make good, treats him right. feeds him up on Al<ire grub as long as
 he works for him. Of course it isn't
 long until he wants to go cast and
 get married and when he does so,
 rather than break up the family cir
 cle he brings along all the kin folks.
 In that way, by picking a nice young
 hnUinniner In -hnl
 colony. He now has regular little
 village on the Alkire preserve, which
 is being fast cut up into small hold
 ings.
 Incidentally, MT. Alkire says he
 also has pet hen and rooster which
 were given 10 the children of Mir
 and Mrs. Dan Francis. The fowls have nothing to do with the story of the Kentuckians except that George, who is always in hurry, told it all in one breath. The roos- ter however is as energetic as though he came from Kentucky He was pleased at the bird at first as he intended to use him for an alarm clock, but he has proved valueless in that respect for the reason that he crows all night and of course as MT. Alkire never goes to sleep with the rooster growing, he cannot enjoy the eXquiite pleasure of being awak- ened In the morning. He shooed the rooster away from his perch near the foot of the bed and now he roosts all night on the grindstone, sharpening his claws so he can scratch up the asparagus bed all day.

SOUTH BETHLEHEM, Pa, April 3.-J. II Van Syckle. Superintendent of Public Schools of Springfield. Mass delivered an address here today be- fore the Conference on Conservation of School Children. held under the auspices of the American Academy of Medicine. His subject was the care of feeble-minded children by the pub lie schools, and he spoke in part as follows:
 "In the most progressive communi- ties the control and care of the posi- lively feeble -miDded. like that of the insane, is a state function. Boys of this class if left to themselves, being unable to sustain themselves in com petitive industry, drift into criIniDality and come upon the state for support in our penal institutions. It is now seen that state supervision over these boys should begin before criminal tendencies have been allowed to de- velop.
 To prevent the marriage of feeble minded girls to shield them from temptations to which they are mo- toriouSly easy prey is obviously a duty. This duty the state can per form more effectively and at less ex- pense than the local community. At what point shall the state take up this burden?
 While feeble minded boys are with in the usual compulsory attendance age and are under the watchful eye of teacher and attendance officer. the local community may properly as sulne full responsibility for their training Feeble minded girls be- come a menace earlier than feeble minded boys, but for a number of years both boys and girls of this class may with safety to themselves and others be taught in the public day schools. They should. however. be grouped in special classes where their characteristics may be carefully studied. In border line cases several years may pass before it can be de- termiped with certainty whether the child is positively feeble -minded or merely backward. hence the special class in the public school serves highly useful purpose as a clinic in
