priation for the old home goes for
salaries. One man Of the right kind
could perform all Of the duties now
supposed to be performed by MAI.

il he possessed proper executive abil-
:ty. considerable improvement in the
management Of the home and large
increase in the products Of the farm
could be made.
I'd The testimony shows lack OF
proper nursing for the sick.
(e) The testimony shows to our
satisfaction the charge that for a
short time some time last year there
was bread furnished to the inmates
made out of musty meal. (see page
90, Caldwell's testimony This was
likewise testified to by others. 1t is
but proper to add, however, that such
bread was served only for very
short period Of time.
(f) AS to the charge that the
home is permitted to get in pretty
filthy condition at times, or portions
of it, this is perhaps true. 1t is also
likely true that this condition would
improve were the rules Of the home
properly enforced.
AS to the other charges referred
to at the outset as "petty in their ma
ture", we do not wish to refer to
them specifically, but your committee
would call attention to the testl-
mony concerning these matters.
Your committee is inclined tc the
opinion that s35 per month would oe
good pay for the physician to the clo
home, since it appears from the tes'
timony that about all that can DC
done for the inmates, on account o.
their lack of recuperative power az
shown by DR.. Buffers testimony Il

The practice of dealing out daily
supplies Of whiskey to certain ele
| ment at the old home, it appears tc
your committee, should be discour
aged.

GREAT DAMAGE DONE b IT In
THREE STATES
four KNOWN TO Be Dead
Alabama, Georgia and Florida Feel
Effects of Cyclone Accompanied by
Torrential Downpour-Twelve Fe-
male Prisoners Injured in Collapse
of Building on Georgia Convict

Four persons are known to have
perished, several to have been injur-
ed and property valued at several
hundred thousand dollars to have
been damaged by severe wind and
rain storm which swept Alabama,
Georgia and Florida Thursday. /.
The only known fatalities occurred
at Omaha, Ga, where three negroes
were killed when a building in which
they were working collapsed during
the height of the storm, and in Cren-
shaw County, Alabama, where Rufus
Summerlin, was killed in building
collapse.
At Milledgeville, Ca, many build
ings were demolished. Twelve fe-
male prisoners were injured when
the State structure at that place col
lapsed. Forty children in the Hope
well school, near Millledgeville, had
miraculous escape when the build
ing was blown down. Only one
child was injured.
Three children were seriously in
jured when the Bridges School, near
Cordele, Ca, was blown down.
There were more than 80 in the
school house when the accident oc-
Cured,
Many buildings were blown down
and large damage sustained in Cen
tral Alabama. The heaviest losses
are reported to be in the city OF
Greenyille and Crenshaw and Butler
Counties.
The property damage in Florida.
according to late reports, was not
serious. A 65-mile gale swept the
section Of the State in the neighbor-.
hood of Jacksonville. No loss Of life
was reported in that vicinity.
Mayor Naples, of Omaha, Ga, Is
sued an appeal last night for fnan-
cial aid to the poor and homeless,
saying the destruction Of property is
very heavy and many persons aIe
homeless.

When Whiskey Was Costly.

Best old whiskey at any price now
aday is as cheap as dirt when yor
come to think how it used to be
down in the Corncracker country
says the New York Press. One hun
dred and thirty years ago a decree
was passed in the court at Jefferson
county making the price of whiskey
SIS half pint. By the gallon il
went for s240, the lowest bargain
price. And a dollar was dollar in
those old days in Kentucky.

HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE KILLED.
Tragedy Caused by Premature Explo-
sion Of Powder.

At Gigon, Spain, upwards OF zoo
people were killed or wounded by
the ill-timed explosion of charge OF
1000 pounds of black powder which
had been laid Wednesday by govern
ment engineers with the object OF
razing an enormous block of rock.
An immense concourse Of towns
people had gathered to witness the
demolition Of the hill separating
Gigon from the coaling harbor OF
Musel, a mile and half distant. The
object of the operation was to cut 2
roadway and thus avoid the present
long detour.
At the hour fixed the fuse was
lighted and the explosion occurred.
But instead of the rock being blasted,
hundreds of tons Of clay and small
stones were hurled like artillery pro-
;ectiles among the assembled specta-
tors. Whole families were moved
down. Many of the engineers and
municipal officials were killed.

TRAPPER WAS STARVED
HE BECOMES INSANE AND TURNS
TO CANNIBAL.


Tortured by the furies of an Alas
kan winter, subsisting thirty days Or
skins of dead animals and finally
driven insane by an eight-day periot
of starvation, Henri LIE Caire,
French trapper, killed and partially
ate the body of Len Lemieux, g
guide Of the Hudson Bay Company
near Mile SO. B. c. Such was the
tale unfolded in a letter received al
Cleveland, o., from former Cleve'
land, Frank Richardson, twenty
three, of No. 1891 West Twenty-ffth
street.
In the letter to his father, from a
log cabin at Mile SO, Richardson
gave graphic word picture OF the
suffering undergone by men on the
snowy trails when the wind sends
fiint-like fakes of snow driving into
a mans face until he is nearly blind
ed. The elder Richardson, who is
stage director at the Euclid Avenue
opera house, also received a half
dozen pictures, one showing the dis
membered body Of the murdered
guide.
Richardson Jr., has for a partner
in British Columbia Emmett Thorpe,
formerly captain Of the Lincoln High
School foot ball team. Both depart
ed in 1912 with an engineering crew.
but have since given up that work
and are now contracting on their
own initiative.
In his letter telling of the tragedy,
Richardson says the trapper and the
guide, Lemieux, departed from Mile
So on an extended hunt, and as they
had but small supply Of provisions
they were warned against making the
trip. This was in December. A
third men Der of the trapping party
dropped out at the start and the
guide, Lemieux, and LIE Caire con-
tinued on their way.
A storm overlook them, and when
miles away from the nearest settle
ment they were compelled to travel
with the mercury at 81 degrees be-
low zero. Finally they stumbled on
q deserted cabin about seventy-f1ve
miles from the settlement. Here
scratched with knife point on wood,
was written the last chapter Of a
gruesome tragedy.
For eight days LIE Caire and Lem
ieux tasted no morsel Of any kind.
While the wind howled and snow
banked up against the cabin walls,
the men were starving. By day they
sat at the bare table, each man fur
lively watching his mate. By night
they were afraid to sleep, but terror
and suffering closed their eyes and
at times both men slept for few
hours. Each man, afraid Of the 9th,
er, awaited chance to kill. For the
killing OF one meant food for the
other.
AS the ninth night came on lie
Caire watched Lemieux nod and fall
asleep. With a bound the trapper
was on his guide burying his knife
in the sleeping mans heart eight
times. Twcrty-three other knife
wounds were also inflicted.
lie Caire ate parts of the dead
mans body and then scratched with
his knife on the cabin door the story
of Lemieux's death. The carved part
of the door now is in the hands Of
Ken Mckenzie, an engineer from
Montreal, but LIE Caire has not been
found.
A picture forwarded to Cleveland
by the younger Richardson depicts
the finding Of the body, the wooden
box in which it was placed and the
burial ground.

SHE WANTS HEART BALM
YOUNG WOMAN SUES FOR TIE
LOSS OF her LOVER.
Blames the Telegraph Company,
Which Failed to Deliver Telegram
in Time, She Claims.

III IunS, Sne S1a1ulS.
At Charlotte Miss Anna DeMcss
has entered suit against the Wes'
tern Telegraph Company alleging
that the negligence Of the telegraph
company in failing to deliver a mes
sage to her lover, one Joseph Flynn
apprising him of the fact that she
was en- route to Charlotte "rea0y,
willing and anxious to enter into the
holy bonds of matrimony" as pre-
viously agreed upon, resulted in the
breaking asunder of the aforesaid
ties which in turn occasioned great
mental anguish to wit $4,000.
Extracts from the complaint are
herewith reproduced: That the de-
fendant, Anna DeMoss, further al
leges that on or about the goth Of
December, 1912, she had agreed and
contracted to become married in law
full wedlock within the course of a
few days to Joseph Flynn of the city
OF Charlotte and had made arrange
ments with priest Of the said city to
conduct the ceremony.
sThat on the oath day of Decem-
Der, she went to Burlington with full
arrangements as to the wedding, save
as to the date.
''That on the 2Sth day of Decerl-
Der she received letters from Joseph
FLYNN, asking her to leave Burlins-
ton the next day. The plaintiff wir-
ed in reply that she could not do as
requested. This telegram was deliV-
cred in proper manner.
t'That on the 2eth day Of Decem-
Der plaintiff found that she could
leave Burlington at 11:17 in the
morning and 60 to Greensboro. She
then sent telegram to Joseph Flynn
apprising him of her intent to arrive
in Charlotte that night his telegram
was not delivered until week later
but, according to information WAS
left in the custody of ticket agent.
Wherein" the complaint contin-
ues, 'the plaintiff contends that the
telegraph company was unduly and
grossly negligent in not making
proper and reasonable effort to To-
cate the said Joseph Flynn and de-
liver said telegram to him in person.
s'The plaintiff further alleges that
because Of the negligence of the said
defendant in not delivering the said
telegram the said Joseph Flynn be-
lieved that the said plaintiff had no
desire to become married to him as
they had before agreed and that she
wanted to withdraw from the mar
riage contract entered into. That IS
a result Of the aforesaid negligen'e
of the defendant company the said
Joseph Flynn quarreled violently
with the plaintiff and broke of tie
engagement and withdrew from tue
contract entered into with the plain
tiff. That as a result of the defend
ant company's negligence, the above
mentioned break between the plain
tiff and the said Joseph Flynn result
ed and the said plaintiff is deprived
Of the company and affection CT tie
said Joseph Flynn for life, that sre
has endured much mental and phys
ical anguish and is damaged in the
sum Of $4,000"

eft is an easy matter, it seems, to
dismiss this question and leave the
farmer to take care Of himself. II
seems to be the sentiment Of some
that he is doing very we'll; that he
ought tc be satisfied with what he
has and thank God that it is nc
worse. One reason that this senti-
ment is prevalent is because the far
mer has not yet realized that one rea-
son that he is in the condition that he
is, is that the legislators Of this coun-
try have been really Indifferent to his
welfare.
at is an easy matter for a man in
easy circumstances to take an optl-
mistic view of things in general and
of the individual or people who are
in a bad fix particularly, but we are
going to have this legislation.
"In conclusion, desire to say that
the senator from Massachusetts, (Mr.
Lodge) the other day stated thing
that struck me as being so forcible
that I recognized its truthfulness at

tue of his high genius and his intui-
ton, saw deeper into the heart OF
things than another, and in verse he
was very often able to express 1t
more clearly and tersely and power
fully than another. I came across
this verse subsequent to that and it
was so appropriate that I shall quote
it. We sit here in better circum-
stances and do not feel the cry OF
poverty and the humility of its at
tendant evils. We are optimistic in
general, and we are forgetful OF oul
more unfortunate fellows. These
were the lines that illustrate the atti'
tude of those who can help the far
