JOHN, SEWER

The first governor of Tennessee was John Sevier, who was born in Virginia, TO years ago today, Sept g, 1845- As a youth he accompanied an explor- ing party into the western wilderness, and afterward became famous as an Indian fighter. and as a general inN tn e revolution. After the war he became the leader of the secessionists, who demanded that the eastern part of Tennessee, then belonging to North Carolina, be formed into an independ- ent state. In 1795 a provisional gov ernm ent was form ed, with Sevier as governor, and the name of Frankland was given to the new state Congress refused to sanction the new govern l1nent, and, after a bitter struggle, &c., vier was arrested and taken to prison in iron. He was afterward pardoned, and for a time North Carolina's au- thority was recognized. In 1790 Ten nessee and Kentucky were joined as the Territory South of the Ohio.'' but in 1794 Tennessee became a distinct territory and in 1796 it was admitted to statehood, with John Sevier as its first governor. He held the office un= til 1901, and again from 1903 to 1909. Later he entered Congress, and was given a, mission to the Creek Indians. While in the performance of this duty he died at Fort Decatur, Ga. To- morrow will be the centennial anni- versary of Sevier's death, which oc- cured Sept. 24, 1915.

Dun.ba, Austro- Hungarian ambassador here, that he be given safe conduct to Vienna will be taken, it goecame- known officially today, when the Vienna, governrn ent has replied to the request tha the diplomat be recalled.

 In requesting safe conduct, pr. Dunnba notified the state departm ent home on leave, adding that he plan ned to sail September 2s.

Warden "Tom" Osborne, Famous Prison Reformer,
 Is 56 Years Old Today

Thomas Mott Osborne, whose ca reer as warden of Sing Sing prison has attracted the attention of prison re- formers the world over, will pass his ffty-sixth milestone today. The man who has sought to make Americas s most famous prison home of hope,
 rather than the abode of hate, was
 born in Auburn. N. Y, Sept. 23, 1859.
 He graduated from Harvard in 1884, and two years later assumed the pres idency of the D. M. Osborne Com pany- Although a wealthy nanufac-
 turer, with large business interests,
 MT. Osborne has found time to. serve in many public hand semi-public ca pacities. He has been mayor of Au- burn, candidate for lieutenant-gove burn Citizen, member of the Public Service Comrnissi on. trustee of the George. Junior Republic, and has written papers on a wide variety of subjects, and has travelled extensively. His regime at Sing Sing has given him | an international fame, and has brought upon him much censure as we'll as praise. The Osborne idea of prison administration is simple. It involves the assumption that convicts are human beings and should be treated accordingly In the working g out of this idea Warden Tom as the prisoners lovingly call him, has initiated many innovations and re- forms which have been criticised as 1 making prison life too attractive. Much of this blame is doubtless in spired by the politicians, who have in the past found Sing Sing a source of great profit to themselves and their favorites. The millionaire warden ] has shut down on this graft, and he has devoted himself heart and soul to the task of transforming Sing Sing
 from place of real horrors into a real
 reformatory. Whatever the result of
 the Osborne reforms, it is practically 1 certain that the old cruelties and tor
 lures will never be revived, and that the overcrowded and unsanitary con l ditions will be abolished. MT. Os-
 borne believes however, that Sing
 Sing should be reformed out of exist
 ence. and that the grim pile should
 be razed and replaced by a farm
 colony. where the men will receive
 wages and be able to contribute to the
 support of their families. MT. Os- borne, as a preperation for his career
 as prison reformer, served a vo1un- l tary term of a week in Auburn prison,
 where he broke the rules and had
 himself confined in solitary

KERN IS OPPOSED TO CALLING EXTRA
 SENATE SESSION

Roanoke, Va, Sept. 2a.-senator John W.Kern, of Indiana, who is stay ing at his country home near here, is sued a statement today declaring that when the Senate adjourned last spring he strongly favored the calling of a special session of the Senate, but that he now doubted the wisdom of such a step in view of the European situa- ton.
 ''It was my belief" said the sena- tor, 'tthat the Senate rules should be amended before the regular session so there would be no delay in the Sen ate's business later. I was of the opirf- ion that an extra session could be called in October. However, since the European situation has become so acute, I am doubtful of the exped- iency of an extra session. I think if the war situation is at all com p1icated it is doubtful whether we should hold one.'
 Senator Kern added that the com rnittee he appointed last spring to re- wise the Senate rules, of which Sena- tor Owen, of Oklahoma, is chairman, should be ready to report by this time.

Autumn Will Have
 It's Official Inaugural
 Tonight, Says Almanac

s'The melancholy days have come -a1m ost-for the almanac sets the official inaugural for tonight, when the autumna1 equinox sounds the parting kne11 for the good old sum merdme. Tradition associates with this period the ssequinoctial storms which our grandfathers believed to be due to the suns crossing of the equa- tor: This theory has been discredited
 by modern science, which asserts that the sun and the equator are alike guiltless of any convu1sfOns of the ele-
 ments which may occur at this period.
 It is a fact, however, that the period of the autuTnnal equinox has often
 been marked by destructive storms, and today marks the centenary of what was for decades referred to in New England as the 'Great Storm 2; Beginning on Sept p, 1915, it ragged
 through the following day. Its ray ages were felt from Nova Scotia to New Jersey, but it was severest along the southern New England coast,
 where the storm worked terrible
 havoc. At Providence the tide rose
 so high as to engu1f part of the town or two exceptions, werec arried. far into the town, and when the tide sud- | denly ebbed it left many ships high
 and dry The bowsprit of one vessel l was driven into the third story of a building, and another ship was sand
 Wiehed in beside a church and another building Thirty-f1ve craft in all were
 swept up into the city. The storm 1 reached it's height in the vicinity of 1 Providence, although it was severe
 elsewhere, and so great was the ve- 1ocity of the wind that the rain was
 salty as far inland as Worcester.
 The coming of autumn to the
 Northern hemisphere means the ar
 rival of spring in South America, l South Africa, Australia and other lands south of the equator, where | since June winter has reigned as king. 1 The coming of the autumna1 equinox l has also a military signi f1cance, for in Russia the northern part of Russia l the transition from summer to winter occupies but a brief period, and one follows quickly upon the heels of the
 other, without that balmy period of 1 ssIndian, Summer which character 1 izes the autumnal season in North 1 America.

THE FEAST or
 TABERNACI.ES

The Jews of this city in common with their brethren throughout the world, are celebrating today the Feast of Tabernac1es, also called the Feast of Booths, and in Hebrew Succoth- The observance lasts for eight days, and closes on October with the Re joicing with the Law In Jewish homes, synagogues and temples booths matched with straw or leaves are constructed. in remembrance of that distant period when the Jews were an agricultural people in Pa1es- tine. While the Feast of Tabernacles has gradually assumed natioha1istic significance, it's agricultural character is perpetuated by the custom of erect ing booths in which thief antilles gather and where they have their meals. The joyousness of the Feast of Booths, developed in music and torch light processions reaches it's height on the seventh day. On the eighth day, called ~Shennini Azeret, memorial services and services for rain and dew are held. There are elaborate 5cere- moniaIs for each day of Succoth, and there are carried out far as possi- ble by all orthodox Jewish congrega- tionS
