~ Heap will today introduce
resolution calling for an appeal to
the supreme court by the county
from the decision OF Judge Frank
O. Smith in which it was held the
supervisors were not vested with

ton to hold the special election.

ton will be introduced and County
Attorney O'Sullivan told to go right
ahead and perfect the appeal.

before the supervisors. asking that
a ranger deputy be appointed in

ing half OF the salary. The super
visors declared themselves willing
to cooperate in such a movement
and postponed the appointment sub
ject to the approval of the live
stock growers OF the county. The
appointment will probably be made
by May |.

tIlOll L QNSAoN Lftiig y
A Northumberland report reach
ed the Journal-Miner office yester-
day that Percy V. Coldwell, acting
under the advice of a friend, had
decided to hand in his resignation
as superintendent of the Pioneers
Home, thus avoiding the expose,
which is enevitable from the pro-
posed investigation to be conducted
by the State Board of Control.
The Journal-Miner, on behalf of
the people of this city, calls upon
Governor Hunt to refuse to accept
his resignation and permit the in
quiry to proceed. This paper at
intervals has been calling the at
tention of the governor through
these columns 10 the utter unhtness
of this man Coldwell to hold the
position. The facts presented were
supplemented by personal letters
from County Attorney O'Sullivan
and personal interviews with the
chief executive. by men who had
been victims OF Coldwell's mistreat-
ment. Yet there was nothing done
and Governor Hunt kept his pro-
tege in his berth. Every time Cold
well was exposed he got out in the
plaza and claimed that the Journal
Miner was attacking him because
it was opposed to Governor Hunt.
Perhaps the governor took the same
view of the matter. Whether the
charges made by this paper were
true or false will be conclusively
demonstrated at the investigation
unless the governor, to save his Of
fetal face, accepts Coldwel's resig-
nation and thus throttles the in
quiry. Be that as it may, the Jour
nal-Miner will, in such an event,
justify its course by publishing the
text of the charges filed against
Coldwell The conditions in the
home, as disclosed by these charges,
are almost beyond comprehension,
but could have been easily ascer-
tanned and remedied if the governor
had seen hit to take action. He
was warned as to what was taking
place and the blame will lie at his
door. It is indeed a sad comment
airy upon him personally and official
ly that he would knowingly permit
such things to 60 on, and that the
citizens of this city were forced at
last to appeal to the Board of Con-
troll for redress.

Signed by many OF the city and
county officials and business men, a
petition asking Governor Hunt TO
dispose Percy V Coldwc1l as SUI
perintcndent OF the Pioneers Home,
was yesterday forwarded to Phoenix
for consideration by the board OF
control. Sensational charges are
preferred by John T. AIahoney, who
recently was employed as engineer
at the institution. Graft, misoon-

ONE KILLED; FIVE HURT
Scanolding Falls on Them It Mueh1-
bach Hotel Building.

Kansas City, Dec. 2S.-One man
was killed and five others dangerous
ly injured when a scaffolding on the
new Muelbach hotel here collapsed
today.
All of the men were caught under
the falling scaffolding and crushed to
the ground. The falling structure was
in the form of an enclosed roof over
the sidewalk at the east side OF the
new building. 1t was put up several
months ago and the accumulation OF
mortar and other building materials
on the top is supposed to have caused
the accident.
Five of the men caught were en-
ployed in the building. The other was
Walter S. Dickinson, who was a mon
ologist and was walking along the
the street. Dickinson was taken to
hospital where it was said he would
recover.
Many other pedestrians narrowly
escaped death in the crash Of the
scaffolding. Among them was John
Mcclure. assistant treasurer OF the
theater where Dickinson was playing.
He was just behind the actor and
succeeded In jumping back to safety.
Mcclure carried a grip containing
about $1,000.

New York, Dec. 28.-Mentally defec-

SONS should be put to death by the
state. The world would be much bet
tei off if it were not for these unfortu-
nate individ ials and society, in SELF
defense should provide for their legal

points in the startling paper contributed
by DIR. Edward Wallace Lee OF this city.
10 the current issue of the New YORK
Medical Journal. In his paper DR.. Lee
blames intoxicants. bad habits. drugs
and malaria for causing large per-
centage Of crime.
The inmates Of our penal institutions
may be roughly divided into three
classes" says DR.. Lees paper, those
who should not be there at all and
should never nave been confined; those
who should be treated with the hope OF
cure and those who should be eradi-
Gated.
: I'm the first class we have those who
are sent to prison largely through
technicalities and do not belong in penal
institutions. The second class Is COM
posed Of those who under proper physi-
cal treatment. environment and educa-
ton may be benefited and trained. In
the third class include all those men
tai. moral and physical detectives suf-
fering from atavistic traits whom no
manner Of treatment or punishment
will benefit in the slightest degree.
For the sake of humanity and pos
terity I believe this last class should
be eradicated. If the rights to pass

TO ASSIST STUDENTS
Registrar Of X. U. Urges . $4,000
Yearly Revolving Fund.

Kansas City. Mo-. Dec a28.-The state
Of Kansas could well afford to set aside
a revolving fund Of $4,000 q year to be
lent In small sums to worthy students
at the University Of Kansas. who are
struggling to gain an education. de-
clared George o. Foster. registrar of
that school, in q letter published here
today.
Kansas towns should aid such fund
and philanthropists could find no more
worthy use for their funds, Mr.. Foster
added. The communication was called
forth by the case of a freshman work
ing his way through the university, who
forged a check, because he needed the
money.
THE sympathy Of the public in this
young mans case" said Mr.. Foster,
was not aroused through the predica-
ment in which he deliberately placed
himself, but through his story of his
ent in the university. I wish to say
he is only one Of many, both young
men and women, who are working hard.
many Of them boarding themselves.
some even living on one meal a day.
and consequently insufficiently nour-
ished in great struggle here at the
university to gain college education.
"A. score of these students who en-
tered the university last fall in the
hope that they could earn their way
have been forced to return to their
homes discouraged and disappointed.
many Of them never to return or to go
elsewhere for their college training. An
average Of three hundred appeals for
work. every summer. come to my desk
from graduates Of Kansas high schools.
These young men and women are
among the brightest Of our high school
graduates and invariably make good If
they are fortunate enough to complete
the college course.
THE state Of Kansas can we'll afford
to set aside a revolving fund Of SO, 900
year to be lent in small sums at the
critical moment, to these worthy stud
ents. Kansas towns where these stud
ents live, also can help. Men Of means
can find no better opportunity for
philanthropic work than the establish
ment of a fund, the income from which
can be used to aid these students. One
hundred dollars a year, anc even less,
will enable a student to finish the
years work."
