Judge Praises Appointee.

Judge Latimer speaks highly of the
new appointee. saying: Il feel that he
is highly qualified for the position and
that We are fortunate in being able to
obtain him. Probation work has come to
be regarded as profession. and the per-
son who wishes to make it life work
must make special study and have spe-
cial training.
Mr.. Clark,s study and training have
been along these lines for years 1t is
diff1cult to find person who has had the
training necessary to fit him for the po-
sition of chief probation officer
1t is believed Mr. Clark would not
have come to Washington on the present
salary of Sl.Io0 except that Congress has
been asked to raise this salary to 5000.
The position of chief probation officer
in st. Louis pays salary of $500
Has Had Experience.
Mr.. Clark is a graduate of Central
College, Mo. and for several years has
worked with boys. For a number of
years he assisted his father. Col r. {.
Clark, superintendent of the State Reform
School for BOYS at Bonneville. Mo-, To
which institution the federal courts west
of the Mississippi send juvenile offenders.
The new officer has had extensive train
ing in social work, is thirty-one years
old and is married.

Fun-Making Main Feature.

Well, there was lots of fun, and
that's one of the things for which the
Rotary Club stands.
The organization is unique in charac-
ter 1t consists of a man in each line of
business. industry and profession. and
as long as a business is represented no
other man engaged in the same business
may become a member. There is one
baker one furrier. one chinaware dealer,
one banker. one clergyman and so on.

Z BOY TELLS OF THREE MURDERS
HE HAS CONFESSED


An 18-year-Old boy, who has spent
all his life in the country, sat in
room at the detective bureau and told
with the simplicity of child how he
had killed. two women and man in
GallpOlis, O., last Wednesday.
Harley Beard is the boys name.
He murdered Mrs. Nancy Massey
and her son and daughter, Robert
and Mary, for whom he worked, &C
cOrding to his confession.
Beard said he was taken out of an
orphanage by the Masseys. His story
Of the murder is as follows:
Bob Massey went down town
Wednesday morning. went back to
bed. just got in bed when Mary
came in and sat on the edge. told
her to leave and we had fight.
when Bob came home she said 1
tried to attack her. Bob was mad
and threatened me with an axe. Then
l told him about her coming in my
room. That made him worse and he
started at me. l had a heavy stick,
with an iron ring at one end, in my
hand. busted his head in.
tMaTy came out. When she saw
Bob lying on the floor she jumped at
me. l busted her. Then the old lady
came out and busted her.
81 thought I saw the old lady move
a bit, so went and got Bob's razor
and cut her head off. Then l cut
MaTy's head off. didn't cut BOb's
hnod off 1ilyod ROb
Then went down, got train and
came to my sisters house. That's
all"
The boy was arrested at the home
of his sister, Mrs. D. E, Day, 1881 w.

But in the last analysis the remedy
is in the hands of the people them
selves. ......
The well-being of society should
not rest in the hands of newspaper
publishers. Society should never let
go Of it themselves.
Instead of having a state commits
sion to pass upon the qualifications Of
men who want to enter the newspa-
per field, it would be better to bring
about a condition that makes it easier
than it is now for more men to break
into the field.
Even if a state commission found
a man letter perfect and gave him a
license to become journalist in Chi
cago, what good would his license be
if the State street store combine gave
him the advertising chill and decreed
that his newspaper should die of adj
vertising starvation?
Wouldn't it be far better to make it
possible for any man with a message
to start a newspaper?
If l succeed in making The Day
Book success without advertising
and by success l mean financial sue
cess a business proposition
won't it then be possible for anybody
who has better message to the peo-
pie than have to start another paper
and make it a success?
That's the way it should be. Let's
have an open field and no favors. Let
the people learn how to kill off jour
mails and journalists that betray them
and merely by stopping their paper
and we'll quickly have a truly free
press.
But with newspapers dependent up
on advertising it can't be done. Smart
men have tried it and failed. Laws
won't bring success. It is in the hands
of the people. That is where it should
be.

Investigate Fraud
Charges in Boston
Nominati0nPapers,

Boston, Jan. 2.-Charges of fraud In
the filing of nomination papers for
candidates for mayor in the coming
city election were given official atten-
tion Thursday when the Ballot Law
Commission began an investigation. lr-
regularities in the signatures of the pa
pers of both candidates, Congressman
James NJ. Curley and Thomas j. Ken
ney, were alleged in petitions laid be-
fore the commission. The papers filed
by Former Congressman John A. Keli-
her, who later withdrew from the con-
test, and Ernest Z. Smith, who failed
to get enough signatures to secure a
place on the ballot, also We're exam
ined. The commission likewise had be-
fore ii Mr.. Smiths petition that he
be certified as a mayoralty candidate.
When the commission convened, rep
resentatives of the opposing candidates
announced that charges by both sides
of irregularities had been withdrawn
by agreement and that there was moth
ing for the commission to investigate.
The charges of forgery of names and
other irregularities were sent to Dis
triet Attorney Pelletier and will be
laid before the grand jury next week.
The district attorney said he regretted
the discontinuance of the proceedings
before the Ballot Law Commission, as
he believed that there had been fla
grant violations of the election laws.

Church of Eng
land Threatened.

London, Jan. "A religious contro-
versy which, in the words of Lord Hal
flax, president of the English church
union, threatens the schism which
will rend the Church of England in
two" has arisen out of the new cele-
trated Kikuyu conference, held in the
town of Kikuyu, East Africa, last June,
which sought to unite all Protestant
denominations against the increasing
power of the Roman Catholic propa-
Ganda in East Africa.
The trouble arose out of the endeavor
CT the Bishop of Zanzibar to impeach
for heresy two prelates-the Bishop
of Uganda and the Bishop of Bombasa
who took the lead in the Kikuyu con-
ference and administered the Commu-
Mon to the missionaries of the various
sects composing the conference. The
controversy for and against the Bishop
of Zanzibar is now going on through
the whole religious field.
The archbishop of York in his New
Years letter to his diocese, says it is
obvious that this discussion will test
the power of the Church of England to
know its own mind and to take its
cwn place in Christendom.

Bought Dread
nOught with Arrear
Salary Money,

London, Jan. 2.-The purchase by
Turkey of the Brazilian Dreadnought
Rio De Janeiro. with money raised in
France, it is said, ostensibly to pay
the arrears in the salaries of Turkish
officials, has perturbed not only Greece,
hut Europe in general Such a simple
method of disturbing the balance of
naval power, it is held in diplomatic
circles calls for some agreement among
nations to prevent sales like that of
the Dreadnought. AS the first step in
this direction some diplomats believe, a
demand should be made that both Eng
land and France close their markets to
Turkish loans allegedly raised in or
der to make war on Greece.
Greece, it is said, is herself trying
to purchase the Rio De Janeiro, but
was unable to raise the money. She
is now believed to be negotiating for
other vessels. According to the off
cial Greek view of the situation, Greece
takes comfort in the fact that it will
be another six months before the Rio
De Janeiro is ready for service, when
it is expected Turkey will endeavor to
recapture her lost Aegean islands.

He was, understood and puny. stoop-

but despite all that his neighbors were
firmly convinced that he was a dan

His name was Simon Bagley, which
didn't sound especially savage.
Strangers, seeing him poking around
in his little secondhand store like a
discouraged spider in a worn-out webb,
would never have suspected him of be-
ing as dangerous as a wild Malay, but
nearly anybody that knew him would
have told 'em that he was. If you
wanted any of his goods, you'd prob

Philadelphia, Jan. 2.-Philadelphia's
ancient and honorable carnival of
pomrous majesty and fun, the parade
of Mummers, or New Years Shoot
ers," was held Thursday and surpassed
all previous attempts to entertain the
people on the first day of the new year.
Ten thousand men in fancy and gro
tesque costumes paraded over tn
principal streets, while hundreds of
thousands stood along the curb lines
and applauded their favorites. No other
city in the world has anything like

is Of New Orleans or the pageants of

was the custom to shoot out the old

shooters" as applied to the fantastic
paraders.
So keen has been the rivalry between
the various clubs or associations which
participated in the parade that some
of them spent thousands of dollars
or gorgeous robes and costumes of sat
in and brocade. The city offered prizes
aggregating $4,000 to be contested for

Huerta Optimist==
Signs Decree Pro-
claiming Holiday.

Mexico City, Jan. 2.-President Huer-
ia, to all appearances. views the out
look for the new year with few mis-
givings. With his signing Thursday Of
a decree prolonging the period of bank
holidays for 10 days he is said to re-
gard the immediate financial difficulty
as overcome and is reported to have
expressed entire confidence in his abil-
ity to solve the greater problem in the
near future.
The President is quoted as having
said recently in a conversation with
an American that the resources of
the country as yet had scarcely been
touched; that there was unlimited
wealth in the Republic which was
available to the administration and
that it was a great error to regard the
country as in a condition even APP
proximating financial stress. He then
likened the republic to a snake, of
which he was the head, and added
"To kill the snake it is necessary to
crush the head. To overthrow this re-
public the rebels must take the cap
itai and kill me. That they never can
do. They may elude the Federal forces
among their native hills. but they nev-
er will dare to attack this capital.
While / live and hold the capital the
republic lives
President Huerta held several recep-
tions Thursday. He was felieitated ear
ly in the day on the occasion of the New
Year by the cabinet ministers, to whom
he gave a glowing account of the
prospects of the nation. Within a
month, he said, he would have 10000
men in the field and he assured the
ministers that the country would have
an abundance of funds for the pacifi
cation and development of the coun-
try. General Huerta received the dip
lomats at the place. Nelson O'Shaugh-
messy, the American charge d'affairs,
attended the reception.
In spite of the optism in official cir
scles, concern is felt from the reports
from the North, which indicate the
possibility of an attack by rebels on
San Luis Potosi The rebel force is at
Bocas, 25 miles north of San Luis Po-
tosi. Traffic on the railway has been
suspended in all directions from San
Luis Potosi except to the south. Daily
erals are occurring and the dynamiting
of trains is becoming common prac-
tice of the rebels. A troop train Is
reported to have been blown up Thurs
day near Peotillos.
The dynamiting operations or rebels
are directed by man called Ell Pom
cho," who is an expert at his work.
He delivers his blows with absolute
accuracy, picking cut any car or cars
from a train which he desires to de-
stroy He uses an electric battery and
several hundred yards of wire, the
ends of which are connected with
bombs which he has planted on the
railway tracks When he has exploded
his mines "El Poncho" fees and his
| rebel fellows do the rest. He Is said
to exult in his work. He carries no
arms and moves from place to place
on mule back, offering his services to
the various bands Of rebels.

Denis Makes Short
Work of Stringer,

The boxing match at the Augusta
Skating rink Friday evening took
place, that is about all that can be
said Owing to the small house the
semi final and the preliminary were
declared off Finally after a long ar
gument an agreement was made be-
tween boxers and managers that Kid
Stringer of Augusta and Kid Denis
of Waterville should go six rounds.
The bout was very short. Stringer
ran into a couple of Denis upper
cuts and took the count of nine twice
He arose the third time, another up
percut and the fight was over, String
er was out for keeps.
Before the main bout was put on
two of, George Gilbert's sons, Louis
Gilbert and George Gilbert, Jr., dom
ned the mits for a three-round go. The
youngsters proved to be very clever
and furnished no small amount of
amusement to those at the ringside.
