S you like, but the statistics show

as you like, but the statistics show
that the number of deaths in the in
stitution showed large decrease dur
ing DR.. Williams's first year. 1t is
also a fact that Mr.. Manning's pro-
gramme Of improvement at the hos
pital could not have been carried for
ward without increasing the salary
of the superintendent is, the
governor could not have secured the
services of the man he believed to be
the man for the place. But we do
not think the governors course in
this respect needs any defense, and it
is not our purpose to defend it. The
simple statement of the accomplish
ments of DR.. Williams are entirely
sufficient. But the main thing asked
by Governor Manning-why Mr..
Cooper is in the race-remains un-
answered. Mr.. Cooper merely re-
plies that this is free country and
anybody can offer for an office. No.
body has disputed Mr.. Cooper's right
to enter the race, but this gives the
voters no reason for his doing so. If
he has only the good of the State at
heart, it certainly seems proper for
him to state why the people should
not reelect Mr.. Manning; for he and
Manning stood on the same platform
two years ago. If Mr.. Manning made
good, and Mr.. Cooper has not said
that he did not, what claims have Mr..
Cooper upon the office?

New York Population.

In the summary of vital statistics
for this city for the week ending on
June "a, published in the Health De-
partment Bulletin of July 1, the estl-
mate of the number of inhabitants
in the city reached by the arithmet-
ical method in use by the bureau of
census" is given as 5,602,S41. But
the census bureau has announced it's
estimate of the population to be
5,334,OO0 or 10000 less than the
local mathematicians claim.
Both estimates are in excess of the
figures given by the State count of
1915, which showed 5,047,221, and
of the police tabulation made last
fall, which revealed population of
5,253,888. The health departments
estimate for July I, 1915, was s.
806,532. These figures, the depart
ment revised, hitting on 5,597,9S2 as
a fair allowance.
1t is on this estimate of population
that the death rate must be figured,
and until the department and the au-
thorities with whose computations it
must be compared come to some
agreement that rate will be regard
ed with suspicion. At present it is
not, and cannot be, taken seriously

CAUGHT NEAR GREENVILLE.
Young Mexican Declares He's De-
serter From Forces of Villa.

Greenville, August IA Mexican
captured in the Blue Ridge noun
tains of Carolina. A real live Mexi-
can who cannot speak English, roam
ing over the country frightening the
women and children! This strange
man, whose gibbering tongue could
not be understood, was causing a
panic among the women in the Dark
Corner of Greenville county, and as
a protection against possible violence
Sheriff Rector was called upon to ar
rest the grimy greaser, who resem-
bles very much the latest newspaper
cut of Pancho Villa, except for the
mustachios that distinguished the
noted bandit as leader among his
men.
Leon Martinez-that's his name as
interpreted in Spanish-was ram
bling through the country, half starv-
ed and half naked. By gestures he
tried to indicate that he wanted food.
He would go to houses and walk i'll
without invitation. The women,
frightened by the poor, ugly figure,
ran helter SHELTER appealing for help.
What the men of the community first
planned to do would be unpleasant
to contemplate.
Sheriff on the Scene.
When Sheriff Rector arrived Leon
was sitting by the wayside, with a
ragged bundle thrown over his left
shoulder. He looked about curiously
from the keen black eyes, deep-set
under a low, slanting forehead from
which dripped beads Of perspiration.
His coarse, bronze complexion, almost
hidden by fuzzy, reddish beard, was
in light contrast to the thick bush of
ebony hair that stood upon it's ends
like porcupine quills. A few shiny
black strands was mute evidence that
the hair had been shorn of it's char
acteristic tresses.
w. A. Wallace, local insurance
man, acted as Spanish Interpreter and
was able to obtain interesting infor-
nation. Martinez said he had lived
in Mexico City most of his life, but
deserted Villas army two years ago
and went to California because he
did not want to fight. He is now
headed for sunny Spain, he says, and
has walked practically all the way
from San Francisco here. He de-
clares he has just plodded along for
his food and bare existence. He told
the Interpreter that he meant to do
no harm and was at the mercy Of
the people.
Gets a Job.
He said he doesn't know what he
wants to do, but indicated his will
ingness to work if he could secure
a job. He says he is about 80 years
of age, claims to be three-quarters
Indian. He eats cayenne pepper
without a frown and gobbled up red
peppers with a great deal of relish.
Citizens here have become inter-
ested in the young Mexican and have
secured him a job as laborer in
railroad construction work.

DARING ROBBERY.
Hold Up Pay Car in Detroit and Grab
Over $4,000.

Detroit, August Alive unmask-
ed automobile bandits today held up
an automobile in which $4,000 pay
roll money was being taken to the
plant of the Burroughs Adding Ma
chine company, and before astonished
guards could offer resistance snatch
ed five bags of six in the car, said
to have contained between $4,000
and $4,000, and escaped.
The hold-up took place on Bur-
roughs avenue, between Woodward
and Cash avenues in view Of hun
dreds Of employees of nearby automo-
bile factories and the usual afternoon
throngs on Woodward avenue.
Rudolph Copper, Burroughs
guard, who attempted to intercept
the speeding bandit car, was shot
through the thigh and struck on the
head with the butt end of a pistol.
Witnesses declared that the five
bandits apparently ranged in age
from 18 to so years. No one, how
ever, seemed able to give a good de-
scription. They were armed with
rifles and automatic pistols. A Sec
ond pay car, carrying $4,000, was
not molested.
Eleven machines filled with officers
tonight were securing the surround
ing country in every direction.
Early tonight the bandits were
thought to have been cornered be-
tween Novi and South Lyon, about
thirty miles northwest of the city, but
when officers from Detroit and South
Lyon closed in they found nothing.
Riding in a large motor car with
part of the money for the weeks pay
roll in bags on the floor, Thomas
Sheehan, paymaster of the company,
was within half a block of the plant
when a smaller car drove alongside
and four men jumped out demanding
surrender of the money.
Within two minutes after the ban
dit car drew alongside the pay car the
former was racing away with the five
cash bags.

Cotton Crop at 12,916,OOO Bales.

Washington, August 1.-Heavy
damage to the growing cotton crop
between June 25 and July 25 has
caused a reduction of 100000 bales
in the prospective production. The
August cotton report of the depart
ment of agriculture, announced to-
day, indicated a production of 12,-
$4,000 bales, equivalent 500-pound
bales, compared with 14,266,000
bales forecast from the condition of
the crop June 25. The condition
during the months dropped 8.S per
cent. to 1928 of a normal.

In statement more than column
in length, Candidate R. A. Cooper
explains in detail just what he said
in Bamberg in reply to the questions
propounded by Governor Manning.
Mr.. Cooper intimates that the reports
published in the daily papers of the
Bamberg meeting did him an injus-
tice. The daily newspapers stated, in
effect, that Mr.. Cooper admitted that
he would have acted in nearly every
instance the same as Governor Man.
ming did with regard to the leading
issues. The only matter of any i'm
portance that Mr.. Cooper disagreed
with Mr.. Manning on was that of sup
plementing the salary of the superin-
tendent of the State Hospital for the
Insane. For the sake of argument
suppose that Mr. Manning erred. His
worst enemies could only say that il
was an error of judgment, and an
error growing out of a zeal for the
welfare of the inmates of this insti-
tuition, who most certainly were in
pitiable condition. We do not con-
cede that it was an error on Cover
nor Manning's part at all; in fact we
think that it was the only possible
step for Mr.. Manning to take to car
ry into effect the reforms in the hos
pital that he determined to carry out.

A good deal is being said about the
execution of Sir Roger Easement in
London last week. A good many
harsh things are said about the Eng
lish government; but we fail to see
that any blame attaches to Great
Britain. 1t has been the custom or
practice for time immemorial to mete
out the extreme penalty of the law to
traitors. We may sympathize with
the condemned, but that does not al
ter the seriousness of turning traitor
to ones country. 1t is the irony OF
fate that DEGREES that citizen OF
country is a traitor if he fails in a
revolutionary attempt, and hero If
he succeeds; but such is the case. AS
it stands, Sir Roger will always be
termed a traitor to his country. Had
the uprising succeeded, he would
have been heralded in after years as
one of the worlds greatest patriots.

81 DIE FOR MY COUNTRY"
Easements Last Word as He Goes
to His Death.

ment, former British knight and con-
sui, was hanged at 9 o'clock this
morning in Pentonville jail for high
treason. He was convicted of con-
spring to cause an armed revolt in
Ireland and with having sought Ger
man aid to that end.
Before the execution great crowd
of men, women and children gather
ed before the prison gates. Twenty
minutes before Easement mounted
the scaffold the great prison bell
commenced to toll. The sound was
greeted with cheers from the crowd,
mingled with some groans. At one
minute after o'clock single stroke
of the big bell announced that the
trap had been sprung. It was the
signal for a mocking, jeering yell
from the crowd which suddenly died
away into silence.
Easement met his death with calm
courage, according to eyewitnesses.
Early in the morning two priests of
the Roman Catholic Church admins
tered the last rites in the cell of the
condemned man and shortly after
ward a little procession headed by
the clergymen with Easement fol-
lowing, warden on either side, pro-
ceeded to the execution shed, only
five yards away.
Litany of the Dying.
The priests recited the litany Of
the dying, Easement responding in
low tones:
Lord have mercy on my SOUL"
According to one of those present
Easements last words were:
81 die for my country"
AS the party reached the Shed
where the gallows was erected the
special executioner, a hair dresser
named Ellis, approached Easement
and quickly pinioned him. The two
chaplains, the undersheriff of London
and the undersheriff of Middlesex
then took up their positions in front
of the scaffold. Easement mounted
the gallows steps firmly and COM
mended his spirit to God as he STEP
A MI LOT an
the lever was pulled.
Pronounced Dead.
Immediately after the trap was
sprung the prison engineer and ply
sician descended into the pit where,
after the application of the usual
tests, Easement was pronounced dead
at nine minutes after nine. Accord
ing to the custom in the case of pris-
oners hanged for crimes similar to
that of Easement his body will be
buried in quick lime in the prison
yard, but probably no decision as to
the burial will be made until after
the inquest.
An affecting incident took place
outside the prison wall as the execu>
tion was in progress. At the back OF
the prison, a little distance from the
jeering crowd about the gates, was a
group of about thirty Irish men and
women. When the dull clang of the
prison bell announced that the DOOM
ed man had paid the last penalty
this little group fell on their knees
and with bowed heads remained for
some moments silently praying for
the repose of the soul of their dead

Gotham Faces Most Serious Transit

haitian, the Bronx and Richmond at
s o'clock tonight. At that hour the
city was nthe grip of the most seri-
Gus transit blockade in it's history.
Brooklyn was the only borough in
the greater city not affected by the
strike of motOrmen and conductors. |
Only a fraction of the normal num-
Der of cars was in operation in the
borough of Queens although the rail-
way company that operates the lines
there was more fortunate than the
other public service corporations af-
fected in retaining the services of
large number of loyal employees.
The menace of a general strikt
would include the elevated and SUBJ
way lines was growing more threat
ening tonight. Union organizers de-
clared employees of the company were
reporting constantly at headquarters
to be enrolled. William B. Fitzger-
aid, the general organizer, declared
that by the middle of next week ev-
cry employee of the Interboroush |
would be member of the union.
Locomotive Men to Join.
A new element of danger, so far as
the travelling public is concerned,
was injected into the situation to-
night when William D. Mahon, presi-
dent of the Amalgamated Association
of Street and Electric Railway En-
ployees, declared that delegation of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers, representing the men work
ing on the railroads, running into the
city, had called upon him and asked
for a conference They were invited
to confer tomorrow afternoon with
union officials.
It was announced at headquarters
that this probably meant the men,
bers of the brotherhood would walk
out in sympathy with the carmen if
it were found necessary and thus tie
up the steam and electric roads run
ming into New York. Mahon and his
associates were much elated over the
new development.
At o'clock tonight orders had
been issued by every street railroad
in Manhattan and the Bronx and OIL
Staten island (Richmond) to discon-
.tinue service for the night. An hour
later not a surface car was moving
in the three boroughs. The man
agements of the Manhattan and
Bronx lines said they would attempt
to resume service tomorrow morn
ing, but no effort will be made until
Monday to operate cars ON Staten is
land.
Suspend Their Service.
One after another, the New York
Railways company, the second Ave-
nue. and Third Avenue Railroad COM
panies, the Union Railway company,
which operates in the Bronx, and
the Richmond Light and Railroad
company notified police headquarters
that they had suspended service. The
number of passengers carried daily
on these lines is estimated at $780,
900.

PARALYSIS EPIDEMIC RAPIDLY Is
SUBSIDING CHASING OF QUAR-
ANTINE RECOMMENDED

New York, October 2-The epidemic
Of infantile paralysis which has pre-
vailed in New York and vicinity since
the early part of July has now reached
such a low ebb that a discontinuance
of travel inspection from the state
o. New York by the United States Pub
lie Health Service has been recon-
mended by DR.. Charles E. Banks, Unit
ed States Public Health Surgeon in
charge of the situation here.
The recommendation was made by
DR.. Banks in a telegraph report to
Surgeon General Blue at Washington.
DR.. Brooks said that Pennsylvania
and Florida have already lifted the
quarantine against New York, and
that he had been advised that New
York would do likewise tomorrow.
