TO SAVE FINLEY
FROM THE GALLONS

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 19.-In-
dignant that a man who she no
blood is sentenced to die on the scaf-
fold, anti-capital punishment socie-
ties throughout California today put
into motion big public sentiment
campaign to save James w. Finley
from the gallows. Finley was SEN
fenced to death under California
law which provides that extreme pen
atty for a penitentiary inmate who
attempts to escape. The date of Fin
ley's hanging is set for October "a.
The law under which Finley was
sentenced was passed to enable the
state to hang Jacob Oppenheimer, the
"Tiger of Folsom prison." who after
long legal fight, was hanged on
July 18. Three men took part in the
attempted prison break in 1905 for
which Finley was sentenced to die.
They were Finley, Manuel Quijada
and Charles Carson. Quijada was Kill
led by Oppenheimer who broke from
his guards one day an stabbed Quijada
with knife he had made from a
knitting needle. Carson today is to-
day in the state ASYLUM at Stock
ton believed to be incurably insane.
He has not spoken a word for more
than two years. At the time of the
break, Finley attacked no one. He
dashed past Guard Murphey brand
ishing knife.
When asked why sentence of death
should not be passed on him by Judge
Post, Finley said, bitterly, "This is
not a just law, it is inhuman. shed
no blood" 1t was not until Finley
made this statement that Judge Post
realized he was forced to sentence to
death man who had not killed Il
fellow human being.

TELLS HOW HE LIVED 1O6 YEARS

PARIS, Aug. 1s.-Pierre Schamel
Roy, the only living man whose hand
ever clasped that of Napoleon Bona
parte, today celebrated his 106th an
niversary by rising at o'clock and
taking long walk through the streets
of Neuilly and along the banks OF
the Seine. Later in the day he was
rendered an informal reception by fel-
low imperialists. Quite poor, unmar-
ried, Roy lives in a two-room apart
ment, his only income being a gov
ernment pension of 80 cents a day.
Imperialist sympathizers occasionally
help the old man with donations. His
mind is as clear as a bell, his hand
is perfectly steady, yet he was "play-
boy" to the king of Rome, Napoleon's
beloved "L'Aiglon," in the palace at
Versailles. 1t was only at St. He
lena that Roy remembers seeing the
emperor. There he saw him four
times.
Until Roy was go years old he was
rather q heavy drinker. He drank
wine. Since then, he has drunk milk
principally, though now and then he
still takes q glass of wine with meals.

ONE REASON FOR POPULARITY
OF CONNIE MACK.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 19.-One
of the many reasons for the wonder
full popularity of Connie Mack, Phila-
delphia Athletics manager, even in
town and cities where the fans have
never seen the long, congenial Irish
leader, was told here today by one of
his friends. The story might also
throw some light on viii Connie Mack
is tipped off" to more alleged young
phenoms than any other three mana
gers in both big leagues.
Shortly after Manager Mack won
his first worlds pennant he was be-
sieged with requests for the old shoes,
stockings, gloves blouses that had been
worn out by his team in their scramble
for the dorld's baseball prize. Mack
knew that other managers before him
had been similarly besieged. But
here's the difference. The other man.
ayers either paid no attention to the
requests or sent back refusals. Mack
didn't do any such thing, he care
fully investigated the requests, filled
them in the order of their coming
and occasionally shipped off dis
| carded glove or worn out pair OF
shoes or bent Gathers mask to some
beseeching young player. Connie ad-
mitted all this was lot of trouble
but he believed if he used discretion
he could plant glove suit or q
pair of shoes in some locality where
wearer and other players would re-
member Connie Mack if some likely
looking young player turned up. Mack
says he has secured several promis
ing recruits this way.
This request for discarded baseball
paraphanalia, by the way does moi
come solely from the east and middle
west. The indair team of the st
Mary's Mission School, at Omak
Washington, is today disporting its
elf in the suits Connie Mack's team
wore when they won their last cham
pionship. Mack figures that if an
other Bender or Meyers is develop
ed at st. Mary's he will have firs'
chance to look him over.

FLUFFY STUFF IN THE SUNDAYS

Readers of the magazine sections of
the big Sunday newspapers will be
pleased to know that May Van Allen
has finally decided to marry. This
may not be interesting or important
news to others, but those who find
mental stimulus in the fluffy stuff of
the Sundays are thoroughly familiar
with the doings of the Van Aliens. The
Van Aliens are rich, and New York
newspaper men who get up the mat
ter for the Sunday supplements have
the idea that the people out in the
provinces are as interested in and as
crazy about the doings of the rich as
they are in New York. Hence this
stuff. 1t appears from this enhancing
narrative that May has long been re-
garded as impervious to the shafts Of
cupid, but Grizzly" Thompson, an
other of the idle rich colony, has won
her heart and fortune, which is a
tremendous one. He had noted that
her other suitors spent freely in their
efforts to win May. He crafty de-
vised another plan. When he took
her out riding it was a trolly instead
of an expensive motor. Instead of
furnishing champagne he treated her
to nut sundaes; instead of expensive
bonbons he fed her with lollypops
which cost cent each; instead of
treating her to $40 dinners, he sug-
gested basket picnics. All of this is
told in full page of the Sundays
and we mention it here, not to make
merry over the sorrows of the rich,
but to point out the way by which
some honest and gallant poor young
man may win the rich heiress and thus
give badly-needed hint to our fic-
tion writers.-Lincoln News.

JAPANESE ADOPT OUR
METHODS OF HYGIENF

DENVER, Aug. 19.-"The stature
of the Japanese people is going to
be heightened through the influence
of American methods. AS a result
of calisthenic and eugenic methods
imported from the United States, the
little brown men of today hope to
become the big brown men of the
centuries to come.
This was the statement made today
by Mrs. Antoinette A. Hawley, hon
orary president of the Colorado W. C.
7. u, who returned from trip around
the world just in time to celebrate
her seventy-second birthday anniver-
sary few days ago. Despite her
advanced age, Mrs. Hawley is as
active as a girl. She hopes to begin
another globe circling tour on her
seventy-third birthday.
1.-THE tremendous influence of
American thought in the far east
was the one thing that impressed me
most during my travels" said Mrs.
Hawley. "This is most notable in
Japan. Everywhere there you will
find evidences of the American in
fluences. The United States has al
most complete monopoly on furnish
ing the little brown men with ideas,
"By American methods of physical
Culture and hygiene, the Japanese
actually are proposing to increase
the height of the inhabitants of the
island kingdom. In one school l saw
several hundred girls going through
series of physical culture exercises
copied after those given in American
schools, and the Japanese authorities
explained that these exercises are
the beginning of movement o develop
the stature of the people of Japan.
81 do not believe that there is any
feeling of general dislike for America
in Japan. l am sure l saw none of
it during my travels and / visited
all parts of the empire. On the con-
trary my observations lead me to be-
lieve the Japanese people are very
fond of US and look to US for lessons
in advancement along all lines"
Mrs. Hawley who is an ardent be-
lever in equal suffrage, having voted
nevery state election in Colorado
since the women were enfrancised
here, says the women of the far east,
though far behind the women of other
countries, already have begun cam
paigns for their social and political
freedom.

TEMPERANCE AND INSANITY.

One of the speakers at the medical
congress now in session in London
discussed the remarkable growth of
the temperance movement in Great
Britain. He referred to the improved
habits of army and navy officers, who
are now expected to set good ex-
ample to the men under them, as
we'll as to the enormous change among
the commercial and professional class
es.
Other observers, including the chan
cellor of the exchequer, have been
calling attention to the same crafty
ing phenomena, and the average man,
without so much as glance at sta
tistics, knows the statements regard
ing the spread of temperance to be
true. 1t is undeniable, moreover, that
the progress of temperance is not con-
fined to England. 1t is worldwide.
Now intemperance is potent cause
of insanity, and there should be OBJ
servable everywhere decrease of in
sanity as one of the results of the
aradua; elimination of the drink evil.
Yet. according to speakers at the
| medical congress, insanity is grow
| ing, and growing at an alarming rate.
In England it has increased 276 per
| cent since 1860, although the popula-
ton has incheased only 81 per cent.
Is the increase largely apparent rather
than real, because of better registra-
ton and diagnosis, or is it actual ?
If actual, what are its causes? Con-
ditions of life have improved, and
so have conditions Of labor. Is it
! our modern pace that kills the minds
of so many? Light is wanted.

certain progress. There is unrest
there as everywhere today. Chinese
women, long ago, unbound their feet
as the first sign of emancipation.
But it will be long time before the
far eastern women become emanci-
pated in the true sense of the word.
They have been kept down for CEN
turtles, regarded as the mer playthings
of the men. 1t will be many years
before either they or the men of the
far east become accustomed to the
notion that they are free, intelligent,
individual human beings"

MEASURING INSTINCT.

Several experimental attempts have
but the one with most promise is the
work of Professor Preed, who has
studied the feeding instincts of new
ly. born chicks. The peckii.2 instinct
'r chicks is complex bit OF behavior
made up of at leass tfnee elements,
the striking, the seizing and the swan
lowing reactions. But altual meas-
urements DR.. Breed has shown no.
cnly that the pecking instinct is not
rerfect at birth, but tha5 the three
fact rs very more or icss indepena
enuy of each other. He shows thai
the pecking instinct improves with
practice and with age, and that each
of the three factors improves inde-
pendently of the other two, at least
to some extent. That is to say, the
ability to seize the food does not i'm
prove exactly in coordination with
the ability to swallow. His studies
further show that the instinct varied
from chick to chick and from group to
group. And this with an animal where
one might have expected to find, If
anywhere, the supposedly invariable
behavior. The important thing about
this work, of course, is not what it
shows regarding the instinct of the
chick. The critics will doubtless say
that they knew all this before. Far
more important is it that an instinct
has actually been submitted to meas
urement.
