THE MARTYR OF MANNHEIM.

AUGUST FRIEDRICH FERDINAND
"A Won KOTZEBUE. who was born
at Weimer in 1861, and slain at Mann
helm in 1919, was one of the great men
of his time. He is among the most
celebrated of German dramatists, and
his originality is attested by the fact
that his works have been a mine for
later writers of all nations. He wrote
200 tragedies, dramas and farceS, and
most of them We're successful during
his lifetime. His best-known work is
"The Stranger" which, so years ago,
was as popular and famous in the
United States as it was in Germany.
He also wrote successful novels, and
a remarkable satire, in which he took
a fall out of Goethe and Schiller, who
had declined to admit him to their So
ciety.
Kotzebue was trife too fond of
satire. When displeased with any per-
son or cause, he was wont to hold the
same up to public ridicule. This weak
ness led to his tragic death. His life
was adventurous. Much of it was
spent in the service of Russia, and
)nce he was banished to Siberia, but
was recalled a year or two later by
emperor Paul, who squared things by
giving him fine estate. His later
gears were spent at Mannheim. where
le was employed as correspondent by
he Russian government, reporting
lpon matters literary. artistic and in
.ellectual. In these days such a post
would be considered honorable, but at
hat time many people believed he was
1 Russian spy. When in a satirical
mood he found much amusement in
making fun of the "Bursenschaft"

"You Are From Mitau."

movement, or "the universal German
students association" The students
took their association seriously, if he
didn't.
On March %, 1919, the indications
were that Kotzebue would spend his
declining years in peace and comfort
under his vine and figtree at Mann
helm. He was prosperous, and had
congenial employment, and his genius
was being generally recognized. On
the afternoon of that day he went into
the town on an errand, and when he
returned to his home n maid told him
that young man had called to see
him, and promised to call again. Half
an hour later the young man returned,
and the maid showed him up to the
family sitting room. He waited there
few minutes, and then Kotzebue en-
tered the room, with outstretched hand
and smiling face.
you are from Mitau?" inquired
Kotzebue.
The stranger drew dagger from
his sleeve and, crying: Traitor to
the fatherland y stabbed him repeat
edly. Instead Of trying to escape, the
murderer tried to pacify his victims S
four-year-old son, who had entered the
room and stood there shrieking.
Karl Ludwig Sand, who committed
this cold-blooded and senseless muir
der, was a student and enthusiastic
member of the Bursenschaft. Patriot
ism was more than a passion with
him. 1t was disease. He hated Ma
pOleon with hatred that kept him
awake at night and spoiled his appe-
tite. He spent most of his time brood
ing over the woes, real or imaginary,
of his country. when he should have
been doing something useful. Also,
his desire for notoriety amounted to
passion. He longed for the lime
light with al unconquerable longing.

Africa's West Coast.

West Africa seems to exercise kind
of fascination over men who have lived
there for any time.
There Is II saying, "Once n coaster.
always coaster" and out of the most
terrible of the stories told to newcom-
ers upon West African boats this
deep-seated love of life on the coast
invariably energies.
Fever-stricken men lo-ve for civil
lied countries swearing mighty oaths
they never will return, but n few rest
less months at home and they are back
again, ready enough, no doubt, to
abuse West Africa, but secretly SUBJ
ject to it's grim fascination.

state penitentiary at this place has

women, women offenders from all
over the western part Of the United
States and from Alaska are being
brought here to serve terms to which
they were sentenced by Federal
Courts.
The latest arrival of women pris'

Arizona. There is q remarkable fea-
ture In these cases, in that every one
of the women is sentenced for "a year
and a day" Two of the women are
negroes, sent up for illicit trading in
narcotic drugs. The other seven are
Mexicans, and the offense in each case
consisted in failure to stay deported
after being sent across the line by
federal officers. They are natives OF
Old Mexico, and when classed as un-
desirables and ordered back home, in
each case the woman returned again
and again to Arizona until patience
was exhausted and the federal author

up from Arizona in one lot, making the
largest the state penitentiary has re-
ceived since it was selected by the

PURE FOOD COMMISSION
MAY INVESTIGATE SOARING
PRICES ON FooDsTUFFS.
Coming Legislature Expected to Give
Board Power to Inquire Into
Market Conditions.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver-Expansion of the scope OF
the State Pure Food Commission. to
investigate rumored combinations
that make for soaring prices on food
stuffs, and to watch the market facil-
tiles and the storage conditions On
fruits and foodstuffs generally, is to
be considered by the coming Legisla-
ture.
The Pure Food Commission is con-
Quoted in connection with. the State
missioner. Its powers at present are
restricted to investigations for impur-
tiles of foodstuffs
From the standpoint of health, the
board is believed by number of leg
islators to be the logical body to con-
duct thru the activities of the COM
mission. Investigations that will ex-
pose trade combinations wherein the
consumer holds the sack.
Again, it would give the health
board certain additional powers to
compensate, in a way, for the author
ity 'shorn from its activities by the
medical practice bill, which became a
law few days ago. Instead of sub
sidiary committee of the health board
acting on the licenses of physicians,
the new law provides for that duty to
be performed by the State Board of
Medical Examiners.
The first 'intimation of such per
manent body to be invested with pow
ers similar in many respects to the
State Public Utilities Commission,
through legislative enactment, came
from Leon NJ Hattenbach, representa-
tive-e elect from Denver.
Senator Knauss and Senatorelect
Dunklee of Denver and Representa-
tive Ardourel of Boulder also are max
ing Investigations to determine what
is the best method to follow in estab-
fishing a commission that would be
sufficiently empowered to make the
proper Investigations and prevent
soaring prices when conditions did not
warrant such increases.
