fight made by Senator Tillman for

committee left that position in doubt
although 1t was believed Senator Mar

DIVINE WOULD PROHIBIT
SMOKING AMONG CLERGY

PHILADELPHIA, March 13.-Em :
phatic declarations against the use
of tobacco by ministers were made
by Bishop Joseph f. Berry at the
opening of the one hundred and
twenty-sixth session of the Philadel-
phia annual conference of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, at the
Twenty-nnth Street Church. Twen-
ty-ninth and York streets.
The large increase in the oonsump-
ton of cigarettes in the United
States in 1912 over 1911, and especial
ly the effect of smoking on children
and the example to them of the min
listers, was commented on by the
bishop. He said: Our young min
listers now pledge themselves not to
use tobacco. Some of the older men
have grown accustomed to the weed
and acquired the habit long before
the rule was passed"

BRYAN'S DIPLOMATIC
MISTAKE AIDS HUERTA

WASHINGTON, d. G., March ID
Secretary of State Bryan was some
what surprised today when a dis
patch was received at the State De-
partment telling that the diplomatic
corps in the city of Mexico had re-
ceived information to the effect that
Great Britain would recognize the
Huerta government.
This is Thought to be the direct
result Of Mr.. Bryan's eulogistic mes
sage to Ambassador Wilson, several
days ago 1t leaves President Wilson
in an embarrassing position, as the
British government has undoubtedly
taken for granted that the Bryan
message represented the views Of
the President of the United States.
AS matters stand President Wilson
must either follow the lead of Great
Britain or repudiate the act of his
secretary of state.
Two of the most interested mem
bers of the Cabinet are extremely
doubtful concerning the ability of
Huerta to restore lasting peace in
Mexico.

making the condition that the governs

the condition of patients already
treated before he reveals the secret of
his mixing method and the dose.
The public health service today
procured reasonable veritication of
the report that DR. Friedman. as far
back as last July. applied to this gov

Thus far the. government authori-
ties have received a culture from
DR.. Friedman, and they have be-
gun the making of sub-cultures
through various culture media. When
/, these sub-cultures are grown they
will be tested in laboratory ami
mails, such as monkeys, rabbits, mice
and guinea pigs.
The public health service is daily
being hesieged by tuberculosis suf-
ferers seeking DR.. Friedmann's treat
ment. Members of Congress also are
receiving appeals from persons in all
sections of the country, but the gov
ernment can do nothing at this time
and can make no recommendations
until fair test has been made.

BOYS FINGER PAYS FOR
RING CATCHING IN FENCE

PATTERSON. n. j.. March 10
Fence climbing while wearing a ring
of any kind is dangerous, as Samuel
Post, ~ years old, of so Wood street,
has found out. The boy had the first
joint of the ring finger of his right
hand amputated by the doctors at the
General Hospital. and it is probable
that the entire digit may have to be
cut off.
As Samuel gra bbed at the fence the
point of one of the pickets caught un-
der his ring and he was held sus-
pended this way for almost minute.

Driven by hunger, he stole a piece
of bacon from a dwelling house, and
for that crime" he was sentenced
| to the penitentiary for life by an
| Ohio judge, and driven insane by
brooding on the, overwhelming injus-
| tice of it.
Starving, He Stole.
Six years ago WEIGH. a young man
of 25, was wandering through South
ern Ohio, looking for work. He
found neither job nor generosity.
Pennless, lonely, hungry, he lost his
reverence for the great god Prop
erty.
And so, one dark. bitter night in
Greenville, Darke county he opened
the door of a dwelling house. en-
tered and took few pounds of bacon
to keep him alive in his quest for
work.
He lifted his hand against no man.
He attacked no woman. He fright
ened no child He destroyed moth
ing. He had to have food, and he
took a dollars worth of bacon-that
was all.
He was seen, caught and hailed into
court. And being at heart an honest
man, WEIGH admitted stealing the
bacon He would steal to live. but
he would not lie to avoid punish
ment.
The law, however, was not so
square as the thief.
WEIGH was guilty of breaking and
entering an inhabited dwelling at
night" with intent to steal property.
And that, in Ohio, is an offense pun
ishable with life Imprisonment I'M
4ess the jury recomme ends mercy.
WEIGH was destroyed by his own
honesty BY pleading guilty ne
surrendered his right to trial by
jury, and so there was no jury to
recommend mercy" Wherefore in
exorable law, in the person of Judge
Alread, sent him to the penitentiary
for life
"No Alternative" Says Judge.
It is not Likely that any jury would
have done that, and the lack of a
jury was merely technical. The
Judge might have insisted on jury
trial for the prisoner, refusing to
enter his plea Of guilty Judges
have often done so.
This Judge merely said There is
no alternative" So, speaking as u
statute book. and not as a man deal
ing with flesh and blood and the pas
sions of life. with a legal phrase he
took away this young mans lifelong
freedom, his human ties, even his
secret hopes-for stealing piece of
bacon!
The door of the penitentiary closed
on William WEIGH, his name became
a number, and Me was forgotten.
just the other day somebody hap
pened to recall the case and inquired
what had become of William WEIGH.
and this is what he found
The body of William WEIGH still
lives, but the soul of him is dead.
A few months of prison life brought
him face to face with his appalling
fate. Brooding over it in bitterness,
and longing for that little tent of
blue which prisoners call the sky"
his mind broke.
Law had murdered the only part of
him that raises man above brutes,
and now he is no more Than an ape
in a cage.
ut is a very good law" says War
den Jones.
