ONE OF WORLDS TRAGEDIES
Unreasonlns and Foolish Prejudice
Against the Man Who Is Ap-

The gray-haired man who loses q

new one. A story of the gray-haired
man, strong, able, and willing to work.

gray hairs and youth.

in Leslie's, the case Of a competent
barber. trained to his trade in Europe
(and every one knows this means thor

place In any of the best barber shops
In New York, because his hair was
partly gray at the early age of twenty
two. His proposal that they try him
to see If he could not work all

was not even entertained on account
of his gray hairs. A barber must have
a steady hand, of course. but why dis

il not better, than others?
Mr.. George w. Crossett. the seventy
eight-year-old honorary president Of
the Young-Old Mems association Of
Cleveland, O., tells of an organization
started by several elderly wealthy
men in that city to help old and gray
haired men in getting work With
between 200 and 800 names on their
books they have already found places
for so.
The ambitious and industrious young
man who throws himself into his work
with enthusiasm Is hard to excel; but
the man with gray hairs. knowing well
the handicap under which he labors,
also puts himself into his work with
a degree of fidelity that cannot be sur
passed. And isn't the experience that
goes with gray hairs worth some

Although the boat spun round beside
the ship, rising and falling In it's dizzy

hard against the vessel by the impeli-

The conference will meet in response to call issued last month by Secretary of the Inte- rior Lane, Tho chief purpose will be to discuss a plan for practical coop. eration between the different Statea and the Federal Government in carry. ing out irrigation and reclamation pro. jects on a much larger scale than has been attempted heretofore.
 The present policy of the Federal Government in regards tO the recla- nation of Western lands is not alto gether satisfactory to the States most interested it is believed that a now policy may be worked out that will be satisfactory to all concerned and at the same time accomplish better re- suits in the work Of reclamation and conservation. The first and most im- portant step in the opinion of those best, acquainted with the subject. will be to devise a practical plan of Fed. eral and State cooperation in cleaning up the many struggling Carey projects throughout the West

cused had asked him to write notes and leave them by the dead girls side. that with Franks aid he had car. ried the body of the girl down from the second floor of the pencil factory to the engine room and that Frank had given him s200 and then taken 1t away from him again, was the chief evidence in the trial against Frank.
 The charge is made that the solici- tor general acquiesced in the coercion of witnesses against Frank. Minola Mcknight. the negro cook where Frank boarded. made a statement, tell. ing of Franks movements on the day of the murder. A few days later her husband prepared a statement in which the woman was said to have told her husband various incrlminat- ing things about Frank. Detectives took her to the solicitor generals of fee. There she was requested to agree with the statement her husband had made. She refused. Detectives took her to the police station, applied the third degree" and finally she made an affidavit upholding her hus- bands charges. When freed she re- pudiated this statement and later her husband confessed he committed per. jury in the statement.
 Herbert J. Haas, counsel for Frank, charges that the prosecution appealed to the passions of the people to get a conviction. and that the jury was led back and forth through crowds that could hear the threats made against Frank.
 If Frank fails to get new trial it Is practically certainty that he will get communication at the hands of the prison board At present 1t is general impression that a new trial will be granted.
