Friday, June Is, 1916.

Whitmire is to have a big chau'
tauqua the Goth of June and the first
and third of July. July will be
big day in the old town, and that is
the same day that the State campaign
ers are to be in Newbery. The Glen
Lowry is going to give the mill work
ers a holiday on the first and will
have the usual annual barbecue for
them on that day instead Of on the
fourth as heretofore, so that every
one may go to the chautauqua, and
that is to be known as educational day
and the governor is to make speech.
And there will be other things to
amuse the people, and the people will
be there, and don't you for moment
doubt it. 1t will be a bigger day than
State campaign day in Newberry.
The Whitmire band and a party OF
ffty automobiles will journey to New
berry on Saturday of this week via
Clinton with a party of Whitmire
boosters, and they will advertise the
chautauqua and the town as they
journey.

LABORS TO FREE
TWO INNOCENT MEN
Father Curry Tells of Convicts
Serving Time for Crime
of Others.

Father James r. Curry. former
spiritual adviser in the Tombs prison.
yesterday made public efforts he has
made for the last two years 20 free
from prison two men who are serving
three-and- a-half-yea sentences for a
crime for which others have confessed
their guilt 10 him.
The men for whom Father Curry IS
fighting are Thomas McCrohan. an in
mate OF Sing Sing. and Jeremiah Sui
liyan. in Clinton Prison. suffering from
tuberculosis. They were sentenced on
February .. 1914, by Judge Edward
Swami. the present District Attorney,
after they had entered plea for as
sault in the second degree. This was
done. according TO Father Curry, on
advice Of counsel assigned TO defend
them.
Both boys had previously served in
the Elmira Reformatory." he said, and
when they were informed b. their
counsel OF this, with the fact that tn
complainant. John Banigan, had sworn
he could recognize them out OF .
million persons as the men who hell
him up and robbed him, they chose
going 10 jail for three and half
wears in preference to taking a chance
Of receiving the maximum penalty Of
twenty wears as second offenders.
-Four men robbed John Banigan, the
complainant. When McCrohan and Sui
lyan were in the Tombs they sent
word 10 me that they we're innocent.
They said that the guilty men would
come 10 the parish house and confess
the truth. These men, four Of them,
did come 10 me and declared that the
Two men charged with the crime were
falsely accused. They themselves were
guilty Of the crime.
This information / conveyed 10
Judge Swami, who was the presiding
Judge; 10 Martin II. Glynn, then Gov
ernor Of the state; to Governor Whit
man and others, in the hope that
something would be done for those
TWO innocent boys. Nothing definite
has been done
District Attorney Swami was not al
his home yesterday when an effort was
made 10 learn from him the status of
the case.
One of the men who Father Curry
said confessed his guilt has committed
suicide. Another is under Indictment

DYING FROM ANTHRAX,
DISCUSSES OWN CASE
Eugene HERS Coolly Talks of
Spread of Poison.

Flushed but clear-headed, a man re-
clined on cot at Bellevue Hospital
Yesterday and talked with more than
score OF physicians who were inter
ested in his probable death from an
thrax within the next few days. Eu-
gene HERS, latest victim of the strange
malady, asked as many questions about
his case as lid the physicians, and
seemed to have just about the same
interest i'm the gradual spread OF the
poison through his system.
How long will 1t take that to reach
NV heart? ." asked Hers, indicating the
inflamed portion of his right arm that
had been infected by the anthrax
bacillus.
Failing to get a satisfactory answer
from his physicians, he turned over
and went to sleep. Additional mice
tjons Of Eichorn's serum had been
given 10 him u the morning and dur
inc the afternoon. I'm spite OF these
musicians at the hospital said that ne
was growing weaker, and that ms
chances of recovery were slight.
One Of the efforts TO save HERS $
life took the form Of an operation and
the removal of the anthrax lesion on
the back of his right hand. There rs
but one other case Of such an oper-
alton on record.
Dr.. william H. Sommers. Of the
poard Of Health. called az the hospi-
.al during the afternoon. Examined
Hers. and said that the board prob

the only thing a father asks when a

respect, personal likings are not con-

the couple to walk wherever they

have an engagement rite. The young

is closed, the parents leave the couple

Too Crowded to Be Seen.
Here is a garden, an exhibition OF
great scientific, educational and ro-
mantle interest-to say nothing of the
bits of history entwined about many
of it's trees and p1ants-which is so
filled with rare specimens that the
average visitor cannot see them BE-
cause of the way one is hidden by the
other. Among the most beautiful Gre
atoms of nature, the poor stunted
trees and plants reach out toward the
skies for their "place in the SUM-,
their share of the air, that they may
thrive and silently teach the lesson
of the beautiful.
Here is to be found, really living
and growing, cedar of Lebanon, such
as is spoken If in the Bible, growing
and thriving only on one side because
1t is crowded too much on the other.
Here also is to be found the euphorbia
snlendens. the Grown of thorns," also
mentioned in the Bible. From the
"sawdust" of the former . made the
;ncense used in Greek and Roman
Catholic churches, highly pleasing to
