Mexico Enlightened

At the slightest sign of Intervention,
however, all Mexico's historic suspi-
cions awake, and the recent movement
for independence in some of the north
ern States has been regarded in Mexi-
co as a possible forerunner of annexa-
ton. The Mexican States bordering
on our southwestern frontier are Son.
ora, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo Leon
and Tamaulipas, and there is also the
territory of Lower Clifornia, recently
cut in two for administrative pur-
poses.
This region has an area nearly equal
to that of Texas, or rather less than
one-third of Mexico, and population
of something more than 1 800 900, per-
haps tenth Of the whole Mexican
population. These divisions vary in
area from States about the size OF
West Virginia and Maine to States
about as large as Washington and
Idaho. There is no NATURAL boundary
between these States and the rest
of the Mexican Republic, except in the
case of Lower California.
Mexicans firmly believe that once
American troops, upon whatever pre-.
text, are again in Mexico, they will
not come out until the northern States
are ours, and they fear the loss Of
other territory, if not their entire
country. Hence the polite request Of
the Constituencies leader: mo inter.
vention, if you please, Mr. President
New York Sun.

held. It was returned to Duluth, but
the sender evidently used an assumed
name, for the box was not called for.
When analysed by the hospital
chemist the candy in the box was
found to contain morphine.
DIR. Arnold was arrested for the
theft Of a miscroscope from another
physician at Duluth, and it appears
that he has a long criminal record.
He has served several terms in peni-
tentiaries, all of his offenses having
been crimes against property. He
escaped prosecution at Duluth be-
cause he was found to be insane,
but there is probability. that the
state board Of control will send him
back to st. Louis county for trial.
The Minnesota law differs from tina.
of New York, behind which Harry
Thaw is hiding, in that a person
charged with a crime but committed
as insane before trial, can be return
ed for trial by the hospital authori-
ties whenever he has regained his
sanity.
Great difficulty is experienced in
keeping drugs away from patients at
the state institutions, and the board
of control has obtained an opinion
from the attorney general giving the
superintendent at hospitals the au-
thority to open mail addressed to
patients. DR.. Arnold has been an
offender in this respect. He is addicted
to the morphine habit, and some
months ago secured supply of the
drug from an unknown source. Its eff
fects upon him were apparent to the
eyes of the physicians, but they were
puzzled as to the manner in which it
came into possession. Finally their
suspicious were aroused by the fact
/ that he repeatedly sent his fountain
pen away to be repaired. Investigation
disclosed that morphine had been
packed in the tube of the pen, and this
explained the manner in which DIR. Ar
mold received his drug"

to Escape
Made By Insane
Stories of Assistance Given Inmates
of Hospital by Outside.
Friends
Saws Hidden In Bananas, and Cur
tains; Morphine in Foun-
tain Pen

The following article published
some weeks ago by the st. Peter
Herald, gives an interesting insight
into the efforts to escape made by the
insane at the state hospital, and out
side friends.
"Vigilence of the authorities at the
state hospital last week prevented
the delivery of a consignment of steel
saws to another inmate of the ward
for the criminal insane. They were
intended for George w. Parker, a
mulatto murf ,rer who has been con-
fined in the ward for several years,
and it was found that they had been
cleverly concealed in bunch of ba-
nanas.
Parker has relatives living at
Omaha, Neb., and the package con-
tanned the contraband articles came
from Them Included in its contents
was bunch of about dozen bana-
mas. They looked innocent enough,
but when the usual search was
made is was discovered that slender
steel saws were hidden away in three
of them. The work had been done
carefully, and there was nothing on
the outer surface of the bananas to
indicate that the fruit had been tam
pered with.
Parker has negro blood in his
veins, and his mind became unbal-
anced from the effects of overstudy.
He was a student in medlcaI c.i-
lege, lacking but few months #
completing his course, when he muir
dered an aged white woman living n
st. Paul. He had begun to dissect
her body when the crime was discov-
cred and he was arrested.
A year ago Parker was implicated,
with James Cunningham ana Born
Ostby, in the attempt at wholesale
delivery from the ward. Ostby sue
ceeded in escaping, but was recap
tured in Chicago several months later.
Last summer Parker had visitor.
After her departure his cell was
searched, and several saws were found
concealed in the window curtain.
Early in the same week a candy
box, apparently filled with candy,
was sent from Duluth to DR.. J. f.
G. Arnold, one of the inmates of the
ward. 1t was found that the box
had false bottom, and concealed
there were three fine steel saws,
capable of cutting the bars behind
which DR.. Arnold is confined.
As result of the discovery an
investigation was made at Duluth by
United States postal authorities IN
an effort to ascertain who sent the
package. It had been mailed to an
attendant at the hospital, and con-
tanned q note requesting him to hand
it to DR.. Arnold When the saws
were found it was, Of course, with
