at the foot of the hall. Octobrc Coun-
seled caution and advised Richard to
take great care as he climbed the
hill "sss.
The two officers went steadily up
ward and made their way around
towards the place where they had To-
Gated the smoke from the gun .,"..
When the two officers were within
six feet OF the spot where the smoke
had come from, Octobre was standing
about abreast of Richard and the Off
GERS had about come TO the conclu-
sion that the bandit was dead or dy-
ing. Then suddenly there came two
spurts OF flame and Octobre whirled
around and fell TO the ground without
a cry As he fell Richard made dive
into the tall grass and pumped lead
from his automatic into the place
where he judged the Filipino TO be.
Octobre had fallen towards the top
OF the hill and his head was turned
towards Richard The latter saw the
blood and brains oozing from his fell
low officers head and he realized
what a narrow escape he had had
himself
After firing many shots into the
brush Richard called out to the muir
derer in order to try and find out II
he were alive or dead. There was no
response so Richard waved TO the
other officers and the large crowd OF
civilians who had gathered TO come
up the hill. .= ~.
Some of the civilians were very
much aroused over the whole affair
and when they heard that Officer Oc-
tobre was dead nothing could stop
them from setting fire to the long
grass and brush In order to drive the
Filipino, if still alive, from the under
growth that sheltered him. The fire
soon made Roadway and as soon as it
reached the spot where the shooting
had occurred the legs of the desperate
were seen stretching out from the
grass. Richard at once grasped the
mans feet and dragged him into the
open. A glance was sufficient to
prove that the Filipino was stone
dead Further examination showed
that he had been shot through the
heart He had other wounds on him
also, but the shot through the heart
had finished him. =.

ARTIST ON PAROLE
 TO PROVE SANITY
Blakelock Freed from Asylum
 Bars for Six Months

West Englewood, N. J., Sept. G. Seated at a piano in a bungalow studio built for him. Ralph Albert Blake lock, the landscape artist whom fame found long after he had quit painting and had been sent to an insane asy- lum seventeen years ago, told his hb- orators that he would paint himself back to freedom. Softly touching the keys to accompany his words, he gave a picture of what he hoped to do, despite his 70 years.
 B1akelock was brought from the State Hospital for the Insane at Mid dletown, N. Y., by Mrs. Van Rens- selaer Adams of Orange. N. Y.. to Lynwood Lodge. a rpivate sanitarium Mrs. Adams, who with other admirers of Blakelock's art had arranged for his release from Middletown on a six months lease parole. went to the in stitutton> with a writ from the su- preme court ordering that Blakelock be placed in her care. pr. Maurice Ashley superintendent at Middletown, accompanied Blakelock and Mrs. Adams to Paterson, N. J., where they were met by Dr. Walter Neldon, pro- prietor of Lynwood Lodge, and Dr.
 
 Tn an automobile the artist was taken to the sanitarium and to 8 room which had been fitted up for him.
 Then they took him down to the little bungalow, bedecked with golden rod and roses. Because he was a musician, a piano had been put into a corner at the end of a great easel, on which hung a fresh canvas aglow with sunlight streaming through roof windows. He began to tell what he would do with brush and paint once more at hand. And then when Mrs. Adams told him the studio had been made just for him. his joy was so great that he could not speak. He seated himself at the piano, and while he played, the others withdrew and left him alone.
 Mrs. Adams believes Blakelock Is sane and that his art. forsaken in the long years he was in the asylum, will convince the world that he is not demented. While he will be under observation at the sanitarium he will have every facility for work.
 Blakelock hopes to paint such a picture as he believed Is expected of him because of his election to the National Academy of Design last year. It is probable the landscape along the Hudson will be his subject.
 A fund of $10,000 has been raised for the painter. If he makes pictures such as he used to make he will soon

BERGER SEES GOVT.
 OWNING RAILROADS
Socialist Congressman Says Eight
 Hour Day Is First Step

New York, Sept 6.-Victor Berger, editor of the Milwaukee Leader, a socialist daily, and the first socialist to be elected In congress, who is now in New York, discussed the recent action of congress in passing the rail- road eight-hOur law. He said the rassage of the law was a step toward government ownership of Hhe rail- roads, which congress had taken un- willingly.
 While he welcomes the passage of { the law as a step in the direction of government ownership, MT. Berger added that in his opinion the settling CT temporary postponement' of the strike was, after all, a piece of bun Combe in which congress and the public generally were the dupes.
 Congress, said MT. Berger "has taken one of the most momentous steps in the history of our country, one of the greatest steps in the direc- tion of socialism ever taken, and when 1t took that step congress did SO without knowing what it was doing. For the first time in the history of our country, congress has passed legislation fixing the hours of work and practically also the scale of wages
 
 railroads of America are privately owned. Heretofore congress has scrupulously refrained from enacting legislation of this kind.
 In my opinion everybody has been tuncoed, congress, the general public, and the workers. In the first place, congress has passed @ law which it has not the ways and means to en- force. You cannot force the railroads to pay a certain wage as long as they are privately owned. You cannot compel the railroads to do this any more than you can compel the owner of an American newspaper or any ether privately owned enterprise to pay q certain wage.
 Government Will Step in.
 T do not know what the United States supreme court is going to do.
New Britain herald., 1916-09-06

cluding the working classes, who not only will have to pay the difference in wages for the men, but also $5 in profits, dividends, and interest for every $1 of increased wages paid by the railroads to the men. Moreover, in the event the wrangle between the managers and the brOtherhOods leads to a strike after all, business will be 1aralyzed, there will be a general ces- sation of work, and the people will face starvation during the period the managers and brotherhoods are fight ing the matter to a finish.
 ''Very soon the country will have to come to the only solution of this mat ter, which Is collective ownership railroads
 However, I am glad that congress has taken this step, because In doing so it has unwittingly established the principle that when the welfare of the people collectively is at stake the question of profits and dividends takes second place. That is what congress has done. From this it is only a short step to collective ownership.
 That step must, and will, be taken very soon, because this settlement has settled nothing at all. l even ques- tion whether it has settled the re- election of President Wilson. The only settlement possible is government ownership and operation"
New Britain herald., 1916-09-06

But unless President Wilson ap- interstate commerce commission to make possible the granting of an in crease in passenger and freight rates to the railroads, the railroads will simply say that they cannot pay the new wage scale because they must pay dividends and interest on bonds or declare themselves bankrupt Then the government will have to step In and run the railroads. This is all said under the supposition that the su- rreme court decides that the law is constitutional.
 But now, IeJ us suppose that the supreme court decided that the law is unconstitutional and void In that event the men will get neither the eight hours nor the increased wage and then there will be nothing to keen them from striking again, and we will be face to face with the same situa ton we were up against last week, the cnly difference being that 1t won't be seven or eight weeks before a national election, and that MT, Wilson CT whoever happens to be resident will not hasten to send special mes sages to both houses of congress to pass laws for his especial favor in Crder to help along the personal boom of a nominee
 "The worst buncoed element in any case, however, is the great public. in

be able to repay his benefactOrs. It was when he peddled his pictures in vain seventeen years ago In an effort to support his family that he lost his mind.
 The career of Blakelock has been one of the tragedies of American art He was born in New York in 1847. He never attended an art school but studied alone and gave play to his talent. His first fame came from In dian canvases. but his lanscapes won him lasting place.
