company that he found deceased suf-
fering fr )m gastritis, complicated with
nephritis. Statements of prior good
character of defendant from other
States, and in this are made to me
now. II all the facts now presented
to me while not justifyinR a new trial,
had been presented to the jury, would
not it have recommended mercy, or
would not the Judge have exercised
his discretion in relieving from the
death penalty?
The conviction was on circumstan-
tial evidence and one judge of the
Supreme Court believed 1t did not eX
clude every reasonable doubt. Two
of the Prison Commissioners recon-
mended a pardon and one life i'm
prisoument.
The law provides that in case OF
conviction of murder on circumstan-
tial evidence the judge, in his discre-
ton, may sentence to life imprison-
ment, The jury'S recommendation to
mercy would impose the same penalty.
Thus, while the evidence may exclude
every reasonable hypothesis of inno-
cence. nevertheless, because of the
possibility of error the life of the
convict is saved.
Human life is sacred. Its protec-
tion is the highest function of the
law, and the Governor, an officer
sworn to enforce 1t, should remember
its sacredness to the condemned
criminal as well as to his victim.
Believes Doctor Guilty.
Il believe the evidence shows the
guilt of DR., McNaughton. Yet, the
expert testimony offered since the
trial by physicians of high standing
impresses the fallibility OF human
judgment. Careless remarks made by
deceased are quoted as significant OF
other causes for his death.
Possibly the pills for his liver,

HELEN KELLER
WILL SPEAK At
KN0XV|LLEFA|R
Famous Southern Woman win
Appear on Platform of Nation
al Conservation Exposition.

KNOXVILLE, Sept. 27%-An event
in the history Of the South will be
the appearance of Helen Keller, char
acterized as the most remarkable
woman in the world to-day, in Knox
vile and at the National Conserva-
ton Exposition on Tuesday, Septem-
Der 30 Miss Keller is coming back
into the South, which she left as a
child when she departed from her
home in Tuscumbia, Ala, to begin
the studies and the achievements that
have astounded the world. And what
is more, Helen Keller is coming back
INTO the southland to make an oral
address,
When it is remembered that at the
age of 10 month Helen Keller. fol-
lowing a severe illness, was found 70
be bereft of the sense of speech, the
sense of hearing and the power to see,
the very fact that she is now an edu-
Gated woman and with the power 20
make an address to an audience be-
comes in itself all the more astounl-
ing.
Imagine a child, deaf. dumb and
blind, whose brain because of her at
fiictions lay dormant How was the
sense of perception of what things
really were and are first convened to
that dormant brain? How was she
brought to a realization of what a Ia
Bile was, for instance, doll, a man or
woman, or anything else?
In what way was there brought to
the mind of this child a gradual
dawning of all of these things? The
seeming miracle has been accom-
plished, but how? How was the young
woman taught to speak? How lid
she come to realize that there were
such things as words and that these
words meant anything? How did she
learn to frame with her lips all of the
different words in her now large vo=~
cabulary2
The very study of the career Of
Helen Keller opens up an almost end
less chain Of speculation and conjec-
ture. The miracles have been done.
How
At the National Conservation Ex-
position on Tuesday next Helen KEEL
Ter and her devoted friend and teach
er, Mrs. John Macy, are going to tell
about these things. Already great in
terest in the appearance of Miss KEEL
Ter has been aroused, and a record
breaking crowd is looked for. Per-
sons are coming from long distances
to see and to hear Helen Keller.

The fascinating secrets of the new and budding season are out.
 Page after page in the newspapers everywhere is given over to the new spring styles. None is gorgotten; tae whole family is remembered.
 Women find profound satisfaction in boring over the descriptions of the new dresses, waists, wraps, and all else that relates to personal envelopment and adornment.
 Man follows less animatedly, but with a strong inclination to be influenc- ed, for he, too, seeks to wander forth to or from business also wearing "glad clothes"
 The children, gambolling lamblike everywhere, must also be remembered
 So you see everybody is interested in the advertising columns.

 No wise merchant need be told of the value of persistent and systematic appeal.

WILL NEVER TREAT
 WITH GEN. HUERTA

Quite contrary to reports sent out from Mexico City, Governor Carranza, of Chihuahua, in an interview on Sat urday, said:
 'I have not and will never treat for ny surrender with General Huerta. l have faith in the justice and the tri- umph of our cause; but, if unfortunate ly the nation should not second us who are endeavoring to re-establish legal order that there may reign in it the liberty to which all citizens have 2 right, and justice is the fundamental basis of peace, will accept the conse- quences of the attitude which I have taken in the present political ques- tion."
 'How do you characterize and judge the death of President Madero and Vice President Pino Suarez?" he was asked.
 "The death of President Madero and Vice President Pino Suarez, in the form in which it occurred, has no precedent in our history I think the future will throw light on this act and justice will be meted out to the authors of the crime"
 "In your opinion, was the resigna- ton of these officials authentic or was it a fraud?"
 Knowing the character of these gentlemen and, more especially that of President Madero, do not think that they resigned, and for that reason died while exercising their respective functions"

INSISTS THAT TWENTY IMMIGRANT GIRLS
 WERE KIDNAPPED
PARTY TO LUNCH AND THEN LEFT THEM

CHICAGO, April 7-Because he sticks to his original story, despite close and persistent questioning, J. F. Lundgren, who revealed the alleged kidnapping of 20 emigrant girls en route to Chicago from New York, at Newcastle, Pa., has practically con- vinced the police here that the girls were spirited from the train by white slavers.
 "A youth in brakeman's cap and uniform boarded the train at New castle and told the girls they could stop there for lunch" Lundgren said, Saturday. He said nothing to the elder women and men who accom- panied the girls. and the girls then alighted and started for the lunch room. Then the train started and I pulled the signal cord. The train stop ped several hundred feet from the de pot, but, before the girls could catch up with it, it started again.
 T tried to get the conductor to wait. He wouldn't listen to me. The last I saw of the girls they were running after the train and screaming for it to wait for them. None of them ap7 peared to have any money and none could speak English.
 'T am sure the youth who told them the train stopped at Newcastle for lunch, is an imposter"
 Lundgren was subjected to a grill ing cross-examination by the police, but did not waver in his story by single detail.

MADERO LIVES IN HEARTS
 OF HIS COUNTRYMEN

Among the Mexican people there is just the same radical difference sucf as characterized the late political cam paign in the United States-Huerts and Diaz in place of Taft, ct al, yer sus Carranza and Madero in place oi Roosevelt.
 The latter, however, escaped the bullet of the assassin, as an act of Providence, and is still vigorously in the Progressive fight while Maderc lives only in the hearts of his patriot countrymen, and speaks through Car range now. Huerta as the military head of Mexico was, very likely, the real murderer of Madero, while in our country, of course, President Taft oc- cupied no such position, and, as every true American believes, would readily have risked his own life to have pre- vented any attempt on the life of Roosevelt,
 Fl Imparcial de Texas, leading
 
 Spanish paper, published at San An tonic, Texas, in the current issue, runs the following six-column head on it's front page: Los Traidores Maytorena y Carranza," meaning that the governors of Sonora and Coahuila are traitors for having refused to sane tion the murder of the legal rulers of Mexico and the success of band ol murderers.
 The Diaz Tories of Mexico have since murdered, in cold blood, Gov ernor Abraham Gonzalez, one of the best men of Mexico, and many others of less note, most of whom were patri- ots who sought to modernize Mexico many of them having received their education in the colleges of the Unit ed States. Their impulse to benefit the Mexican people was strong, and for this they were sincerely hated by the Tories of our sister republic.
 The seed sown by the patriots sacri- feed to freedoms cause will live on in the hearts of the great masses of the Mexican people, just as the unselfish lives of Washington and Lincoln will furnish inspiration to the American people for all time.

Ev- cry man who rides the range where they are feeding, is instructed to ex- ercise vigilance in preserving them from harm or destruction, and any one who abuses the hunting right is tc be summarily dealt with. The beauty of these animals has created very much admiration for the band and to protect them is the watchword of resi- dents of Navajo county, All Indians that hunt in that region have been es- pecially warned that this rule will ap- ply to them, and they have agreed to acquiesce in the order made by the white man.
