NONE, GOES TO PRISON
Courts Mercy Touches "Old-
timer"-Osborne Praised.

"He showed me mercy-and I'm going
up to Sing Sing with malice in my heart
toward nobody"
Although Judge Grain had just sen-
fenced him 20 two years in Sing Sing
for forgery. William Ginger. who has
spent twenty-six Of his fifty-eight years

the humane treatment he expects 70
receive AT Warden Osborne's hands.
he hal pleaded for mercy that he
might go on suspended sentence 10 an
swer hveyear old burglary charge
that still awaits him in New Jersey.
In the Tombs yesterday Ginger showed
great interest in Thomas Mott Os-
borne's reforms. He was pleased by
the enthusiasm with which the students
Of Nsssar College received the war
den's talk on his work Wednesday
evening az the anniversary celebration.
Girls like that" the prisoner said
when he heard that groups OF Vassar
students were planning 10 visit Sing
Sing, "can help US most from the out
side. IL is not good policy for young
girls 10 visit Sing Sing If they don't
have 20, for they will carry away with
them pictures they can never get out
OF their minds. They can help by CIV
ing Us chance when we get out"
Referring TO Osborne. he said:
I'D have been a reformed man be-
fore this il I'd been treated like Mott
Osborne treats his tenants now. But
II the politicians that are against him

HARRISON SEES UTOPIA
Tells Legislature How Philippines Have
Been Uplifted.

Manila. Oct. 16-Governor General
Francis Burton Harrison, in his mes
sage to the Legislature, describes the
era In the islands preceding the pres
ent administration in Washington as
extravagant and careless, while econ
omies and reforms brought about in
l914-I5 have. he declares, averted
bankruptcy and restored the stability
of the treasury without restricting
necessary governmental activities.
Despite worldwide disturbances, the
message says, commercial conditions
in the Philippines are satisfactory,
while politically there is harmony be-
tween Americans and Filipinos, the
latter showing themselves increasing
ly efficient under a greater measure
of government.
The message adds tina .his demo
cratic experience justihes further ex-
tensions and that the Jones til was
defeated only because there was no
sufficient time for its consideration.

His Death Typical of the Disease.

'If il could have been used sooner"
DR.. Charles Norris, director Of the
Bellevue pathological department,
said, at might have saved his life.
The truth of the matter is that, once
the bacilli of anthrax have been abb
sorbed by the blood, any cure IS hope
less. Mr.. Stackpole's death was pure
~ typical Of the disease. It's victims
are normally filed with confidence, al
most up 10 the time of death, and then
the heart collapses."
at is impossible to draw any con-
clusions on the success of the an
thrax serum in this one case" DR.. H.
Z. Dwyer in charge of the isolation
ward. remarked. "Mr. Stackpole was
far gone when the serum was intro
duced. and although it failed TO save
his life, il prolonged his life for four
DAYS and greatly reduced the swelling
about his face and neck.
81 do not believe that the serum
was too strong for the heart. l.
seems more likely that there was \
gradual failing, due to the effects Of
the poison thrown off by the anthrax
bacilli."
DR.. George F. O'Hanlon, medical
superintcndent of Bellevue. pointed
out that it was impossible to draw
general estimates of the serUm's
value from its effect in one case alone.
"Mr. Stackpole died from hypostatic
congestion" he added This is sor,
Of pneumonia, which often attacks
elderly persons bedridden by dis
ease Of this kind. do not think that
the serum in any way contributed -
his death. In fact. believe that 1t

Handicapped by Age.

In spite of his vigor and determined
cheerfulness, Mr.. Stackpole's seventy
one wears were too much of handicap.
The Eichhorn serum injected into his
blood served TO keep him alive long
past the usual duration of the disease,
but this was tried too late to save his
life. His heart could not stand the
strain.
The body was removed to the Morgue
yesterday morning and prepared for
burial. The swelling which had dis
torted the face and neck had practi-
cally disappeared. The fine. strong
face. with its snow white mustache,
showed no signs Of the pain the man
had suffered. There was some difficulty
about obtaining a coffin for the body
The lawyer was more than six feet in
height, broad of shoulder and straight
as an arrow.
"ecause Of this delay the Stackpole
family abandoned the idea of accom-

mon, who has been with them since
Monday day and night, they left the
