PORTUGAL NOT LIKE SPAIN
Wonderful Country With Most salu~
brious Climate In Europe-Cold
at Lisbon Unknown.

New York.-It is more than prob
able that he will need TO disabuse his
mind in the first instance OF the idea
that Portugal is merely Spain in min
iature, Charles l.. Preston writes in
Scribner's. AS a matter Of fact, there
is little kinship between the two. On
paper the languages Of the two coun-
tries bear considerable similarity, but
the pronunciation OF Portuguese diff
fers so materially from the Spanish
that no advantage OF convenience ac-
crues from knowledge OF the latter
tongue. In all other aspects, more
over. everything about Portugal and
the Portuguese is distinctive to an
absolute degree; the most jaded trav-

THREE SENTENCED TO HANG FOR
MURDER.
First Woman to Hang in Connecticut
Since Constitution.

New Haven, Ct.-Three persons, one
woman, stood before the bar OF the
superior court here and were SEN
der, the circumstance being unparal-
der, the circumstance being unparal-
leled in the criminal Jurisprudence in
Connecticut.
The woman, Bessie j. Wakefield,
who aided James Plew. her lover, In
putting her husband, William Wake
field, out Of the way, is the first wo-
man to be convicted of murder in the
first degree since the state has had
a constitution. Plew, self-confessed
murderer, had his degree of guilt fixed
by Judge l.. +. Burpee, under the stat
ute OF 1912. The court said that af-
ter examination of witnesses it could
find no extenuating circumstances
which would lead to the fixing OF a
lesser degree of guilt than that of
premeditated murder.
The third prisoner sentenced to die
was Joseph Bergeron, alias Beger
who shot and killed Mrs. Elizabeth
Dousette, with whom he had lived for
a time in Chicago. He also had
pleaded to homicide, under the ancient
statute and his was the first case on
record where the court examined the
witnesses to ascertain the details of
the crime.

tectives useful tips" Sometimes his

Boston.-Ninety per cent.-roughly

ing to Edwin Mulready, chief proba-
tion officer OF Massachusetts, who ap-
peared before the commission investi-
eating drunkenness.
Out OF his experience Of more than
40 years, Mr. Mulready declared that
1900 out of $4,000, whose cases have
been investigated by the probation
officers give their right names and
addresses and make no effort to deny
the facts concerning their cases.
Mr. Mulready's testimony was in
terrupted by Judge Murray OF the
Boston municipal court. chairman OF
the investigating commission, TO pro
nounce this very fair average, even
for sober men.
Mr.. Mulready, who has just re-
turned from the international congress
in Italy that investigated the drink
problem told the commission that
there are about 100000 arrests in this
state annually for drunkenness.

another, for which he will assuredly
be wholly unprepared. Need it be-
said that this Of itself is paramount
as an attraction?
Almost unlimited IL ne list Of char
acteristic features for any one OF
which the country is worth visiting;
and each in its way is so important
that priority OF mention must be en-
tirely fortuitous. Before descending
from the general to the particular one
may attempt a summary Of these as
follows, but with the premise that
they might be given in any other
order:
The climate is the most wonderful
in Europe. A polyglot crowd Of
scores Of thousands flies annually to
the Riviera from every part in Eu-
rope in order to enjoy the supposed
maximum OF sunshine, but often to-
be undeceived by weeping skies, and
with the cruel mistral as a certain
ty. At Lisbon, on the other hand
cold weather as understooS elsewhere
is literally unknown; the temperature
is not only higher than that Of the
Riviera, but Is equable to a degree
that almost defies itself. What this
means in practical effect is illustrat-
ed by the fact that, in March last, I
met an English lady on board ship
who had stayed six weeks at Mont
'Estoril, near Lisbon, and had bathed
in the sea every day in February!
Nor was the season exceptionally

their arduous labors for long hours in
mills and factories and TO return to

AMPUTATEs HIS RIGHT HAND.
Portland Doctor Acts With Surgeons
Saw.

Portland, Melville suffering, it is
supposed, from some form of religious
mania, DR.. W. G. Jefferson of this city,
a well-known physician, cut off his
right hand with a surgeons saw.
DR.. jefferson went to Gorham with
his wife to see her father, who is sick.
The next morning after breakfast he
walked down to a brook and cut off
his right hand. He returned TO the
house, a doctor was called and he was
taken to the Maine General Hospital.
1t is supposed that in some way Dr.
Jefferson had reached the conclusion
that his right hand had offended
against God, and so cut il off.

CANNOT BRING BACK ABDUCToR
ELLIS.
Technieality Will Prevent His Extra
dition.

Boston--It is because the Japanese
definition Of perjury differs from that
Of the United States that John Eills,
the former clergyman wanted here for
the abduction Of his 5-year-old daugh-
ter Olga, cannot be extradited to Am
erica.
Ellis Is accused OF having made n
perjured statement in regard to his
wife's insanity before an eXtra,judicial
attorney. The japanese law provides
that perjury cal consist only in giving
false testimony in judicial proceed
ings. Ellis eXtradition was sought on
the ground of perjury because abduc
tion is not an eXtraditable offence
here.

Urge Sex Hygiene in Schools.

Lynn.-Distribution of books on sex
hygiene for general reading by chill

subject in churches and schools, was
by the civic committee
of the lnter-church Union of Lynn in
their report at a meeting of the Union
on the report. The Rev. Frederick
w. Perkins strongly opposed the re-
port, saying that the subject is too
delicate to be discussed in the school
or church. II should be taught, he
declared, only by the parent within
the shelter of the home. as its discus
sion elsewhere violates all the rules
of decency and propriety.

another month, and now feel that IL

places are reporting a scarcity OF
scallops. Nantuckets beds are most

MODE OF TAKING
FOREST LAND
Reformation to Help Conserva.
ton
BAY STATE COMMISSION
viii Have Report Ready in Short
Time-Present System Puts
Premium on Premature
Cutting.

Boston.-The Massachusett commits.
sion for the taxation of wild and forest
lands has already in two months time
made great progress in their work OF
investigating present conditions and
in drafting a plan for the future. State
Tax Commissioner w. ID. T. Trefry,
the chairman, and the other four mem.
bers OF the commission-State Forest
er Frank w. Rane, Prof. Charles j..
Bullock OF Harvard University, Harold
Parker OF Lancaster and Charles Il.
Preston of Danvers-have been busy
since Sept !, and il is expected that in
comparatively short time the results
of the work will be made public.
The need for change in the system
of taxation for forest and wild lands
is apparent TO all students of the mat
ter. Under the present law the am
nual growth of trees is severely taxed.
There are few if any trees which can
be used even by the box makers until
they are 10 or 20 years old, and they
do not begin to come into their prime
before the age of 60.
The case is well exemplified by con-
ditions in a large private forest that
is under scientific management In
one year all the wood that was cut in
this forest-which was all that should
have been cut for the best results OF
the forest as a whole-netted re-
turn of $4,000. Under the present law
the annual tax on the forest was SllOO
or over half as great as the gross in
come.
1t is a we'll known fact of forestry
that a tree grows one ring of wood
each year. In a small tree this ring
is. Of course, inconsiderable. On a
tree 90 years old and so feet high 1t
begins TO amount to good many feet
of excellent timber. But the present
law discourages the raising of large
forests ala>~taxes the forest owners
into cutting down their trees while
still young.
II is only within the last 10 years
that the state of affairs has been at
all realized In 1906 a commission was
finally called together, OF which
Chairman Trefry of the present COM
mission was a member. 1t made an
exhaustive study of conditions and OF
the unfairness of the present method
of taxing forest and wild lands, out
public opinion was not yet back OF IT,
and all it's work came to nothing.
II was also found that there was
little hope OF any legislation on the
subject that would not be declared
unconstitutional A constitutional
amendment was finally drawn up In
1911 on the recommendation OF Gov.
Foss and his council. The present
commission was accordingly named
by Gov. Foss with the advice of his
council
The commission has been greatly
| helped by the work of the commission
of 1906. The investigation of the lat
ter was so exhaustive that its findings
could be taken over completely by
the present body Blanks have also
been sent by the new commission to
all the town assessors in the state
with inquiries on them relative to the
wild and forest land taxable under
each assessors jurisdiction.
