Special Dispatch to The Star
BALTIMORE. Md, December A.
James Lawrence Herman, philanthropist.
veteran theatrical manager and proprietor
of one of the city's big hotels, died Of
pneumonia this afternoon in his apart
ments at the Hotel Herman. Mr. Herman
had been in falling health for some time.
Death came as his daughter bent over
him TO aid the attending nurse.
Thursday morning Mr.. Herman took a
long automobile ride. during which he
visited the School for Crippled Children
in Radnor Park, which he endowed a few
years ago. He returned from the ride in
excellent spirits, and it was not until 9
o'clock Friday morning that he showed
any sign of illness. 1t is believed that
some plum pudding which he ate at din
ner was the direct cause of the attack.
for it began with a severe case of ipdi-
gestion, similar to an attack with which
Mr.. Herman was seized with in October, a
year ago.
Condition Becomes Serious.
DR.. H. H. Biedler. who has been Mr.
kernan's intimate friend and physician
for many years, was summoned and
when he arrived found the patient in
a semi-comatose condition. Congestion
of the brain and lungs at once set in
and it was soon reported that the case
was serious one.
Mr.. Herman was known far and wide
as a man of untiring energy and will
power and one who was continually
endeavoring TO do whatever lay in his
power to help the city which he loved
SO devotedly and in which he carved
out his fortune unaided by money or
personal friends. For more than forty
five years the name of James Lawrence
Herman has been intimately connected
with the theatrical life of Baltimore.
For some years he was lessee of the
Lyceum Theater in Washington. Mr..
Herman recently passed his seventy
third year, but his activities in bust
ness never waned.
Secret of Success.
Sometime ago, in speaking of his long
and successful life, MIR. Herman said:
Success is not a secret, and never has
been. 1t is based on llntiring energy, I'M
limited ambition and endless endeavor
and work. Every dollar L have made
cost me an effort
These words We're the keynote to his
entire career. He accumulated "a fortune,
but he was ever generous. ever thought
full of others. and one of the finest insti-
tutions in the country, the James Law
renee Herman Hospital and Industrial
School for Crippled Children at Radnor
Park, was equipped through his generosi-
ty. The day after he had donated a
spacious mansion surrounded by sixty
three acres of land to the hospital for the
little fellows he exclaimed enthuSi-
astically: Il am the happiest man in Bal
timore.''

HAwLEY GOES TO WASHINGTON
Take Up Idaho Land Matters With the
Department of the Interior.

Accompanied by State Land Com
missioner George A. Day, Governor
James II. Hawley left for Chicago and
Washington and will not return until
about December Is. His mission east,
as well as that of the state land COM
missioner, is to take up with the fed
eral land department the issue of the
transfer of Idaho's lands within forest
reserves, the lieu selections and other
matters in connection with the policy
to be pursued in the handling of land
questions in this state. The governor
and land commissioner believe that
they will be able to accomplish some
thing definite and certain along this
line so that when the new administra-
tion comes into power there will be
no question about the policies that are
to be pursued.
The governor has made several trips
east in connection with these land mat
tiers. The last legislature took the mat
eOi W anu StHt d cUHlHlttee east Oh
the same mission. The result has been
that President Taft signed a procla-
nation by which the government re-
leases its claims to school indemnity
sections 10 and So, within forest re-
serves in this state. By agreement be-
tween the state and the federal gov
eminent Idaho was allowed to make
lieu selections for these sections within
the reserves. Crews of men have been
in the field locating the sections and
classifying them insofar as the charac-
ter of the land is concerned. With the
transfer the state proposes to select
other public lands outside of the re-
serve in lieu of the sections within.
Both the federal government and the
state are about ready to make the
transfer. The governor and the land
commissioner will endeavor to make alb
solute certain of the transfer while in
Washington.
There are in addition a number of
Carey act project matters pending,
particularly the Big Lost river. The
governor will stop in Chicago in con
nection with these.

ConVictcBuilt Roads.

Massachusetts is justly proud Of her
state roads, which are revelation to
visitors from other state; other New
England states have some, and New
York is coming into line. The roads
have cost millions of dollars Then we
travel westward across 1900 miles Of
thickly settled country with very few
all-the-year good-roads until we reach
Colorado, where the good-roads problem
is being demonstrated in a way which
must sooner or later command the at
tention of al the other states. There
1000 miles of highway, ranking with
the best in the world, have already been
constructed entirely with state convict
labor And these good roads have cost
IA cents which otherwise would have
cost ST.. In other words, the money
which ordinarily would have built one
mile has, under the Colorado system,
built seven miles.
1t was my privilege last month to
listen to Thomas B. lyman, warden of
the Colorado penitentiary, who occas-
ionally finds time to leave home and
tell the intensely interesting story of
how he solved the question, not only of
what to do with convicts, but how to
reform them at the same time. He
tells part of the story in moving pic
lures showing his men in citizen S
clothes busily at work drilling, blast
ing, blowing, hauling and surfacing in
many cases, out in the mountains, in
sparsely settled districts, with every ia
cility imaginable for escape. But one
looks IN vain for the customary guards
with long range rifle at command No
guards, no shackles, no distinctive garb.
absolutely nothing to distinguish the
conyicts from the foremen, except that
the foremen ride horses. These men
work in large bodies, often several hun
bred; only one barrier stands between
them and escape; and it is impossible
for the moving picture to show that
barrier, for it is Mans Honor. In
fact, the honor system was partly
result of the discovery that, to effic-
iently guard the prisoners, the expense
was equal to the saving effected by
their work, and hence of no financial
advantage. And so the honor system
was proposed amid plenty of predic-
tons of failure and very few of sue
cess.
Now as Warden lyman remarks, the T
Colorado convict is no saint, and about
p per cent of them are dangerous and I
should be confined. OF the 70 per cent
some really should not be where they
are, and all can be trained to better
for return to freedom, by
treating them as men. In accordance
with this theory, which has been con-
firmed in practice, the men who are
allowed to go out on the work are
treated, housed and directed in their
work like. any wellarranged railroad
camp outfit. They construct their own
temporary living quarters, but there
are flo bolts in the doors nor bars on
the windows. True, they all retire to
bed and arise at one time, but SO do
soldiers. The men are worked in rural
districts; they do not go to town, and
unless man breaks a rule, he need
never return to prison. He can serve
his full term in the open air, and when
his time expires he has become profile
