HELEN KELLER
WILL SPEAK At
KNOXV|[LEFA|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 or. Tuesday, Septem-
Der 80. 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 1t 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 eGu-
Gated woman and with the power 70
make an address to an audience be-
comes in itself all the more astoun1-
ing
Imagine a child, deaf. dumb and
blind, whose brain because of her af-
fictions lay dormant. How was the
sense OF perception or what things
really were and are first conveyed to
that dormant brain? How was she
brought to realization of what ia
BILE was, for instance, doll, a man or
a 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 size
learn to frame with her lips all of the
different words In her now large vo-
cabulary?
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 Kel-
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.

Husband Marched
To Polls by Wife
Baseball Bat Is Used as Persuader
by Woman Interested in
Election.

NEW KENSINGTON, PA, Sept. 81.
Mrs. Harry K. Bernhard. who con-
ducts a small store in this city, may
never have devoted much time to
wcmen's suffrage, but she surely voted
her "old mans" ticket at a special
election here to-day
When Bernhard came home the
little wife told him he must vote for
the consolidation OF New Kensington
and Arnold at election. While he
promised to follow his wifes instruc-
tions. his manner created distrust.
Mrs Bernhardt was up with the
birds and. carrying a baseball bat as
a persuader she marched down to the
polls with her husband and stood
there while he voted. She broke the
election laws by making him show
her the ballot, which she folded her

Asks 100000 for
Her Ride on Rail
Women Who Publicly HumiIiated
Mrs. Richardson in Illinois
Town Are Sued.

WAUKEGAN ILL, Sept. 27.-The
papers in a suit for 100000 were
filed in the Circuit Court here by at
torneys representing Mrs. Minnie
Richardson, victim of the recent rail
riding at Volo, against the following
women defendants: Emma Stadfield.
Levina Raymond. Alma Walton, Mary
Sa5el. Kate Wagner and Mrs. John
Stadfield Mrs. Richardson is repre-
scented by Chicago attorneys. The
summons was issued late this after
noon,
After romping through the village
with Mrs. Richardson astride the
rail, the butt of jokes by town loaf
ers and small boys, her tormenters
dumped her into a mud puddle. She
disappeared. and to-day's suit is her
first official utterance The women
who rode her on the rail afterward
posed for a group picture, holding
the rail, and submitted TO interviews.

ternal disorder prior to his sickness.
THE defendant said in 1909 that de-
leased had a slight attack of renal
collie. DR. Bell said to the insurance
company that he found deceased suf-
fering fl pm 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 justifying 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 eN-
clude every reasonable doubt. Two
of the Prison Commissioners recon-
mended a pardon and one life i'm
priSonment.
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-
ton is the highest function of the
law. and the Governor an officer
sworn to enforce it, 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
deceas ed are quoted as significant Of
other causes for his death.
Possibly the pills for his liver,
bought by deceased from the country
store. were impure. When defend
ants lawyers told defendant that If
he would admit giving arsenic for
malarial fever, he would be acquitted,
the defendant denied it, saving he had
never administered arsenic and the
Sheriff swears to overhearing this
conversation, unknown to each of the
parties.
After a full consideration of this
case from every aspect, after search
for truth from every available source.

judge and jury would likely have done
in the light of the facts now before

When arrested Mrs. Funke was
wearing a double slit skirt, which
exposed limbs clad in white silk hose
surmounted at each knee with a red
rosette.
She faced Judge Stapleton on a
charge of vagrancy and was given the
alternative of thirty days in jail or
leaving Denver.
The Lord pity anybody who tries
to educate this town on up-to-date
clothes" she exclaimed as she de-
cided to leave the city.
According to the policeman. who
made the arrest the sensational "Cai-

with the double slit one.
