Human Tiger, " Freed

Harry ]. Dobbins, charged with
violating his parole, was granted his
liberty from San Quentin today and
restored to his parole status by Judge
Zook Of San Rafael on writ of ha-
beas corpus. Dobbins was sentenced
to life imprisonment 10 years ago for
murder committed in Solano county.
In appreciation of an act of heroism
in 1908. when he thwarted the design
of Jacob Oppenheimer, the human
tiger. to kill John Murray, lieuten-
ant of the guard. Dobbins' sentence
to life imprisonment was commuted
to 90 years, to enable the board to
grant him parole.
In 1909 he was arrested in Oakland
for entering saloon and his credits
were taken from him. The conten-
ito nof Dobbins' attorneys that the
violation did not constitute ground for
depriving him of his credits was up
held by the court.

quiet homes where simple honey
pleasures are shared by old and young
together. We need the family life
in which the entire family work,
read, talk and dance together. Homes
in which fathers make companions of
their sons and mothers Of their
daughters.
DETACHED HOUSE PLAN
San Francisco needs groups of
detached houses, built in architectural
harmony with the landscape and each
other
These homes should have heating
plants and other utilities In common
for economic reasons.
Such groups of houses should have
community grass plots. tennis courts
and recreation halls We need more
cooperation in these matters.
1--WE need real homes-homes to
counteract the soul dwarlng condl-
tions of the small apartment. the cafe
and Joy riding.
"One more point: San Franciscans
should know that this spot on the
planet is one of the great psychic
force centers of the world of human
ity. The creative force here is mar
velous. We need conscious souls to
direct this wonderful power to con-
structive ends.
