ENoogRAGiNa THE CONVICT.

Two experiments wfaicr are soNin1 to be followed With mitch interest ssre those which have been made in the states of Oklahoma and New Jersey regarding leaves of absence for con- viets during the holiday season These can, of course. be put down to fe- form efforts by these who are direct y concerned with prison work. They certainly are tried for the purpose ef determining whether the confidence which is thus being manifested in human nature is warranted and the outcome win go a long way toward producing the proof.
 The govefror of OklahoYffa ordered the doors of the state prison opened and the eonvicts were told to g5 to their homes for Christmas and to re- main until the second of January, railroad fare being advanced in the case of those who wers without funds. The prisoners were placed on their hohor to return at the designated time and in the number were 16 who are serving life sentences.
 At the New Jersey state reforma- tory there we're 40 initiates who were released for Christmas under prom ise to return the day following and upon the success of that undertaking will depend the extension Of a like privilege to another group on New Years day. These men have been employed in highway W5ris practic- ally without guard and there was some reason for considering them trustworthy.
 The idea differs from the plan which has been followed iii diifefent states of making wholesale -pardorss at Christmas tizae 1t should, however, demonstrate what the attitude of the convict is regarding such a practice and show whether he appreciates what is being done for him. He has a chance. to prove whether he wants to be helped Of not.

"JIM" DORNEY DEAD:
LEADER IN 18TH WARD
Contractor Last Year Unhorsed by
Ware Man Affected by
Defeat

James n. Dorney, a we'll known con-
tractor and former political leader of the
Eighteenth Ward died today at a sani-
tarium near Philadelphia. His death was
due directly to a nervous breakdown. He
had been i'll for several months. Dorney
who was ffty.three years old, had taken
an active interest in politics ever since
he cast his first vote. He was q stanch
McNichol supporter and for many years
leader Of the Eighteenth Ward. He was
virtual dictator Of that neighborhood for
some time. He encountered little opposi-
tion until the Wares extended their influence
to the northern part Of the city. They
selected John Nirdin as their standard
bearer against Dorney, and the former
finally gained control of the ward.
Despite his defeat, Dorney managed to
hold on to street cleaning contracts in the
Fourth District and many other minor
but profitable, contracts. Among these
was one for foundation work on the Frank
ford i.
Dorneys defeat last year In the fight for
leadership of the ward preyed heavily on
his mind and is believed To have led to his
fatal illness.
Like most of the Organization leaders he
took care" of his friends and did many
charitable deeds in n quiet way.
He Is survived by his wife and several
children. Arrangements for the funeral
have not yet been made.

TEARS STREAM FROM EYES OF JOFFRE
AS HE BOWS AT JOAN OF ARC STATUE

He reached hastily for his handkerchief,
and he, too. had to stop the tears, from a
somewhat different emotion.
When the child saw what she had done.
and when those in her vicinity turned on
her with glances and words of censure, she
burst into a wall
And then everybody smiled and the sun
came out and the Second Regiment, y. c. F.,
stood attention and the thousands who lined
the avenues and crowded the various points
of vantage cheered Justify and waved the
Red, White and Blue of America and the

Papa" Joffre smiled and saluted the
people as lie stepped back into the waiting
machine, unabashed at the emotional ex-
hibition he had permitted them to witness.
The people surged forward with hun

CHEERED BY THRONGS
Out on the Grard avenue bridge hundreds
of boys from the West Philadelphia High
School, each of them armed with red
rose awaited the coming of the ENJOYS. II
is doubtful If their young throats have ever
been shaken with such enthusiastic stirring
shouts as those they let forth when the
party was sighted.
AS the Joffre car crossed the bridge the
roses were thrown with unerring accuracy.
TO the right and to the left Papa" saluted
them, his kindly blue-eye moist once more
at the inspiring sight. When the entouraee Q
arrived at the end of the bridge the ENJOYS
were literally buried in red roses.

The whole scene at the statue took ex-
acty six minutes, but history is made that

PAPA JOFFRELIK
GOOD OLD SANTA
Philadelphia Sees Hero Of
France as Kindly,
Jolly Man
BY M'LISS

We think of him as the great general
the man. half-god. TO whose word all of
France has listened and all Of America is
now listening. the soldier before whose
strategy the Prussian hordes fell back,
leaving Paris safe.
He comes TO see us and we forget all
about the great general.
Papa" Jofrre looks like Santa Claus.
In stature in feature and in coloring
the hero Of the immortal victory OF the
Marne has all the aspects of benign ST.
Noel. If one except the jollity, and It is rot
difficult to imagine that in times of peace
the jolllty too, Of the good old Christmas
saint is not lacking.
Much taller than his pictures indicate. the
Marshal of France carries his weight in
such soldieriy manner as 20 forbid an I'M
preston Of fat His tight black p1iltary
coat decorated with gold chevrons. comes
to the hips and makes the brilliant red of
his trousers. which also enhance the Santa
Claus impression, contrast vividly. High
russet military boots come way up the
shape,y legs to meet the red, and over the
whole costume is thrown II French blue
military cloak with a ripping cape that
falls gracefully down to the MarshaFs
elbow. Topped by red boy cap heavily
braided with gold, the Narshal's rig is one
to make mere khaki-clad American gem
eral take on greenish colors from envy.
But it Is the face that beams from under
the black peak Of the cap which, despite the
distraction of the uniform, finally holds you.
Rugged in outline Its benignitv somewhat
Offset by an aggressiveness of eyebrow and
Jaw, tho Marshal has the big-featured coun-
tenance that characterizes the faces of all
leaders of men.
Under the bushy white brows, blue eyes
somewhat heavy-ldded--the only indication
of fatigue shown by Joffre-penetrant and
keen, have a way Of looking which must
make towards finch and brave men thrill.
The upper lip of his wide mouth, half hidden
under n bristly white mustache. clamps
down firmly over the lower.
1t is curious that n face could denote
at one and the same time all the charac-
teristcs that have made his grateful coun-
try endow him with the greatest honor to
be accorded a French soldier, that OF Mar
shall. and also those tender, human aspects
which make every poilu think of him as
Papa"
When Papa" Joffre sautes as he is
| doing all over Philadelphia today, II is with
| the small. ,,stub-ingered hand of the prac-
tlcal man and yet the strategy and tactics
| by which he outgeneraled the Germans
| make him of necessity something of the
dreamer.
His feet, too. encased in his square -toed
Aoots, are little. little enough in fact, TO
| be remarkable in so tall man.
Altogether it is an incongruous Joffre we
/ are entertaining today, the most martial
Of Frenchmen in times of war. the most
| placidly philosophical one in times Of peace
| whose most exciting hobby Is fishing for
| trout in his native village in the south OF
| France.
