Wild MAN BEHIND BARS
California Sheriff Captures In
dividuaI Who Is Believed to
Be an Oriental. /

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal. August 23.-A
wild man was caught yesterday in Marion
county, across the bay from San Fran
cisco, by Sheriff Heating and q deputy.
and will be held at the county Jail in
San Rafael pending an inquiry to de-
termine whether he is sane. Ef1brts to
converse with him have been unsuccess-
full.
For nearly two years complaints have
been made by residents of Camp Taylor
Of wild man that frightened women
and children and pilfered articles of food.
Until yesterday Sheriff Heating had been
unable to track him to his lair.
Camp Accidentally Discovered.
The officers stumbled upon his camp by
accident, and had no difficulty in arrest
ing him. His few clothes, which were
of American make. were fashioned into
the semblance of a Turkish costume. His
general appearance and swarthy skin
strengthened the sheriff's belief that the
man was an oriental.
The camp revealed a curious combina-
ton of primitiveness and civilized equip-
ment. 1t was built around three big hol
low trees, one of which was used for
sleeping quarters. The floor was car
peted with the skins Of animals. In an
other tree the wild man had rugged up
kitchen. The third tree was the store
house. and contained quantities of nuts
and dried berries Nearby was potato
patch carefully cultivated.

FOR CUSTOMS REFORMS
Report of Collector Mitchell
Suggests $250,000 Saving
at Port of New York.

Assistant Secretary Hafnlin OF the
Treasury Department has begun con-
sideration Of long report involving rec
concentrations for changes in the custom
house at New York looking to an annual
saving of about $780, and a consider
able decrease in the working force. The
report was submitted by Collector Mitch
ell after an investigation that consumed
several months.
1t is understood the report recon-
mends that the force OF inspectors on
incoming baggage be reduced from about
$50 to 200. In the place Of these men it
is proposed to have five inspectors who
would work practically continuously
upon passengers baggage, assisted by a
force of laborers to actually handle and
unpack baggage.
Another recommendation is that the
"debenture' room in the custom house
be abolished as unnecessary. The report
says it now is only used for clerical work
that may readily be dispensed with.
The collectors report Is the result of a
recent investigation by the Cleveland
efficiency and economy commission
which has been at work on the customs
division of the Treasury Department for
some time, but it is said to have been
undertaken at Mr.. Mitchel's recon-
mendatiOn.
An investigation Of the New York Of
fee was made during the administration
Of Collector Loeb, but no changes re-
suited at that time.

MILLIONS TURN BACKS
UPON Welded BLISS
And Now, Mr.. Bachelor and
Pretty Maid, You Are Un-
der Investigation.

Unmarried men and women, you are
being investigated. Why are you UNI
married? There are more than 100000
of you in the United States and e. E.
RittenllOuse, conservation commits
sioner of New York, is conducting an in
vestigation to determine the reason for
SO many million single people. His con-
illusions are expected soon.
Why asks Mr.. Rittenhouse, "are
thirty-nine out of every hundred males
without wives? Why should we have
100000 unmarried persons in the United
States" These mateless millions nearly
equal In number the population Of the
kingdom of Spain. or that of Mexico
and Canada combined. They are divided
as follows: 100000 unmarried men
twenty years old and over; 1900, 600 un-
married women over fifteen years >old
7,226OOO of these men are between TWEEN
ty and forty-four years old; some 10000
of them are between the ages of forty
five and fifty-four.
Never in the history of the world has
a nation been SO prosperous nor within
such easy reach of the comforts and
luxuries of life as the Americans Of to-
day. There is something wrong. What
is it? q
Some Lack Courage.
Making due allowance for the impe-
cunious. the aged and the mentally and
physically unfit, it is safe to say that
100000 of these single men are capable
Of assuming the responsibilities Of mar
ried life. The majority of these men
have a wholesome respect and reverence
for the married state, and many Of
them will enter it, but there are an
enormous number of men who lack the
moral fiber and courage to marry and
take q mans part in human affairs.
while an army of single men are
lavishing their earnings and their affec-
tons upon themselves and many Of
them developing extrayagant and often
vicious habits-an existence which they
prefer to an orderly, economical married
life-anOther great army Of young Wom-
en- are forced to toll in our factories and
business houses for the necessaries OF
life
This is an unfortunate and un-
natural state of affairs. Moreover.
from the ranks Of the unmarried comes
humanity's heaviest contribution to
immortality and crime.
"All these factors are well worth con-
sidering when studying the problem OF
marriage, eugenics or race degeneracy,
which underlies them all.
Discusses Decline Of Fit.
There is a demand. more or less
popular, to place restrictions around
marriage to prevent the immortality,
crime and degeneracy which follows
the reproduction of the unfit But
what of the decline in the reproduce
ton Of the fit? Why should not our
highly developed civilization devise
some means to encourage our 1900, 900
fit. but unmarried. persons to marry.
and assume their natural and proper
places and part in the great scheme
of humanity?
what civilization needs is not neces-
sahily larger families, but more and bet
ter families"

MANY. CHILDREN
HELD ILLEGALLY
Judge Latimer's Ruling Re.
garding Juvenile Sentences
Suggests Detentions.

According to ruling made Yesterday
by Judge Latimer, there are a number of
children being illegally detained in insti-
tutions OF the city. under sentence from
the Juvenile Court. Attorney Walter p
Plumley moved to set aside the Judgment
OF the court in the case of Joseph Jack
son, colored boy, convicted of larceny
last January, on the ground that the SEN
tence imposed was contrary to the pro-
visions of the act of Congress creating
the court.
Jackson had been fined $40 by. Judge De
Lacy. and. in default of the payment Of
the fine, sentenced to the National Train
ing School for Boys during minority.
Attorney Plumley. after making his mo-
ton, which was verbal one, merely
called the courts attention to the word
ing Of the act Of Congress providing for
the court and limiting its Jurisdiction.
Provision Clearly Defined.
1t is set forth clearly that when a child
is fined for an offense and sentenced to
amy institution in case the fine is not paid
the court has not the power to impose a
sentence of more than eleven months and
twenty-nine days.
Judge Latimer ruled that the sentence
was in excess of the authority vested In
the court, and set it aside. He imme-
diately sentenced Jackson to the same
institution during his minority, however
without imposing a fine.
Attorney Plumley later called the
courts attention to the fact that the
| same act of Congress in the nineteenth
section expressly states that in the Ju-
venile Court the term shall be from the
Monday of the next month.
Attorneys Contention.
Mr.. Plumley contended that the court
could not impose sentence on a boy con-
victed in the January term Of court
after the term had expired.
Judge Latimer held that the boy hav-
ing been convicted sentence could be
imposed by the court at any time.
Mr. Plumley said today that he will
take the matter into the Supreme Court
of the District Monday in a habeas cor
pus proceeding in order to secure his
clients release.
1t is thought that under the judges
ruling regarding sentences in default OF
fines more than fifty boys and girls are
now being detained in various inStitu-
tons of the city without legal right.
Prosecuting Attorney Gus A. Schuldt.
however, is of the opinion that there
are only very few such cases. but admits
that there are some at least in which

of TeetotaIerS.

BERLIN, August 23.-Emperor William
teetotalers It is known that during his
recent northern cruise the emperor aban-
doned the use Of practically all alcoholic
beverages. and 1t is understood that he
has permanently forsworn even the
fatherlands famous beer and its choicest
wines. AS a substitute he has taken to
lemonade with a dash Of orange Juice.
In imperial circles it has long been
known that Emperor William was greatly
impressed with statistical study Of the
effects OF alcohol, ranging from incite-
ment to crime to impairment Of mans
working efficiency.
Gave Temperance Lecture.
Hc often expressed the opinion to mem
bers OF his court that immoderate drink
ing was one Of the greatest factors In
retarding the development of nations. and
| while he was swearing IN naval recruits
| at Wilhelmshaven recently he took oc

He also recently told army Officers tina
| he would be well pleased II toasts to his
health were drunk in water.
The emperor has not forced his opinion
| upon his friends. however, and his OWL
stand has received little publicity. per
haps for the same reason that the minis
ter of education Of a south German stat,
