WILL TATTo0ED ON HIS BACK.
California Miner Has Testament Placed
on Shoulder Blade.

California Miner Has Testament Placed
on Shoulder Blade.
Probably the oldest will ever drawn
by man is that of Harry Kohlman,
miner from San Bernardine county,
Cal, who has had his last testament
tattooed in purple ink on his left shoul-
der blade.
Kohlman said he was about to take
a trip through the troubled regions in
Mexico, and he wanted will that was
indestructible and one that would sur
vive robbers or fire. His property is
valued at $4,000.
Still infamed with the tattooer's
needle, Kohlman recently exhibited his
will to a few friends. There are but
fourteen words in the document" but
lawyers say it is perfectly legal. 1t
reads, "All my claims south of Red
Hill, San Bernardine county, to ]. H.
Cart.-H. Kohlman."

Tortola and TortoIita, Possessing Pearl
Fisheries, Belong to United States.
An official survey is reported to have
established the fact that the Pacific
islands of Tortola and Tortolita are a
part of the Panama canal zone. being
within the three mile coast limit. The
finding is regarded here as important,
as both Of the islands have rich pearl
fisheries.
The United States government has
just begun the erection of a large
wireless plant at the Pacific entrance
of the canal.
All records were broken during the
month of February, when 10S ships
brought 6,237 visitors to the canal.
They have taken away so many of the
little silver coins of Panama for SOU
venirs that there is at present an un-
usual shortage Of small change.

WhQ AOf A Director Of PgbIIC
Recreation.

In the September Woman's Home
Companion appears report Of
what is being done in Portage, Wis
consin. toward taking care of the
age has 5000 population and has
the Commissi on form of Govern
ment. The three Commissioners
who govern the town have passed
nine o'clock Curfew ordinance,
with the unusual recommendation
that steps be taken for supplying
the children with some wholesome
recreation for earlier hours of
the evening.
AS a result of this action of the
council a mass meeting of parents
and others interested was held.an
committee was appointed to pro-
vide some wholesome recreation.
This was difficult, but the town
pulled together to solve the prob
lem. The local company of the
Wisconsin National Guard offered
its Armory rent free; the city fur
nished the heat; the business men
raised the money for the incidental
expenses; and volunteers were Sc
cured to direct a grand march, bas-
ket ball, baseball and other indoor
games. A committee of wide-awake
women were chaperones. The OPP
ening evening was attended by 500
and by scores of parents, and the
show was all over by Curfew time.
In addition to this opening of the
Armory large empty room is be-
ing secured and fitted with bas-
kets, and keys given to the chief
CT police. Groups of young people
wishing the rooms for games will
apply to the chief, naming their
oWns director or chaperone. The
Woman's Home Companion adds:
"TLis cognizance taken by a
small municipality of the recreative
needs of its young people points to
ne future office of director of pub
lie recreation, who shall direct So
cial centers and Fairgrounds, turn
vacant lots into play centers, plan
pageants, manage public holiday OBJ
servances, cooperate with the mo-
ton picture houses, and take charge
of the everyday recreation of the
people-an office sometime to be
considered as much matter of
course in a community as that of
vocational teacher. More, perhaps,

traditional devil: Give me their
leisure and l don't care whom they
work for; I'll get them -

NON-PARTISAN BALLOT
ACT HELD VOID
Judge Says Elections Must be
Same in All Cities.

Uniontown, Pa, Aug. 20.-The act OF
June 81, 1913, containing the non-par-
tisan ballot feature relative to third
class cities, was declared unconstitu'
tional in an opinion handed down by
Judge John @. Van Swearingen.
The judge also declared that the
provision relative to changing Con-
nellsville from a borough to a third
class city is constitutional and direct
ed that an election be held this fall
for city officers.
The opinion of the court said that
the non partisan feature was unconsti-
tutional on the ground that the exer.
else of the election franchise is not
within the purposes by which cities
may be classified, and that if spe.
cial method of nominating and elect
ing officers in third class cities may be
maintained under the constitution,
then a different method may also be
used in first class cities, different
one in boroughs, in townships and In
the state, which the court said was I'm.
constitutional.

rapidly round till they are stupefed or
perhaps break leg. The males pose

themselves alternately forward and

knew how to manage the thing. Final

wise a service by signs, and Thomas
proceeded thus: Having first taken Or

hand and put the nuptial ring on her
finger. He then laid his right hand
significantly on bis heart and after

tended both his hands toward heaven.

the Accused 1haW mODeu

Was there ever greater curse
than the Thaw money? 1t has
been an affliction to it's possessors
from the first. 1t has burdened So
ciety with profligacy, scandal and
crime. For several years it has
been shamelessly used to defeat
justice. to nullify law and to cor
rupt the authorities of a great
State.
If Harry Thaw had been born
poor he might today have been a
worthy man. 1t was not heredity
that made him what he is. 1t was
money. Money caused him to be
an idler; money led him into evil
associations; money distorted his
views of right and wrong; money
enabled him to contaminate others;
money at last gave him the vices
which unhinged him and added
murder to the long list of his
offenses.
Having ruined Thaw and others
and carried him into the very
shadow of the executioner, the
Thaw money then cursed and de-
graded the State of New York at
two trials that brought justice in
to contempt and scandalized our
courts throughout the world. 1t
was the Thaw money that saved
him from the death penalty; it was
the Thaw money that maintained
protracted contest in the courts to
overthrow the judgment of insanity
1t was the Thaw money that schem-
ed ceaselessly for a release which
could not be had by legal means.
In the escape from Matteawan has
the Thaw money gained one more
triumph over law? Is the Thaw
money to go hand in hand with
the fugitive into remote States
and countries, always at war with
decency, always in conflict with So
ciety, always tempting, buying and
debauching the weak and the vici-
Gus?
The Thaw money is a curse be-
cause it has produced degenerate
in whose behalf it has been able
to degrade even the degraded, to
exhibit the infirmity of the State,
to expoSe the feebleness of our
laws and to make the American
boast of equality a jest among the
nations. It has taken the Thaw
money some years to humiliate New
York utterly, but it has gained the
day at last, accursed though it be.
