CHOIR BOY SLAYER
SAVED FROM CHAIR
Convinced Of Guilt, Governor
COmmutes Death Sentence
Because of Youth.
LAD TO SERVE 20 YEARS
Scores Of WOmen's Organiza-
tons Joined in Pleas for
Chapman.
Special Despatch TO The SuS.


ALBANY. Nov. 30.-Convinced Of his
guilt but moved to clemency by the
youth OF Paul Chapman Gov. Whit
man to-day committed to life impris-
onment the death sentence OF the
former Brooklyn choir boy whose
execution at Sing Sing recently was
set by the Court of Appeals for the
week beginning January 6. Chapman
was convicted of complieity in the
murder of Harry Regensberg a
Brooklyn cigar store proprietor, who
was shot in scuffle following the
discovery of several burglaries in his
home.
The Governor made public the com
mutation of Chapman's sentence af-
ter spending the greater part OF the
night in an examination of the records
in the case.
Reason for Clemency.
II have decided to commute Chap
mans death sentence to imprison-
ment for life, which under the law
means for a period not exceeding
twenty years." said the Governor.
After carefully reading the evidence
and considering all the facts in the
case / am convinced Chapman is
guilty and am extending clemency
to him only because of his youth
and for that reason alone. 1t appears
that Chapman was between 16 and
II years OF age at the time Of the
crime"
In denying the appeal OF counsel for
Chapman the Court of Appeals de-
clared In an opinion written by Judge
Frederick Collin that it was without
the power TO go outside the record of
the case TO save the boy from paying
the full penalty for the crime This
decision carefully reviewed the crime
for completely in which Chapman was
adjudged guilty. and this review set at
naught pleas of counsel that the boys
crime was merely the result of associa-
ton for short time with evil COM
paniors.
History OF Crime.
The records showed that prior to en-
tering Regensberg's home the boys
had obtained chloroform. which was
placed in an atomizer to be used in
Supplying the Regensberg family
This atomizer could not be used be-
cause the victim OF the murder was
aroused with the entry of the boys into
his room AMI in the scuffle that ensued
he was shot. The gun used was iden-
titled later as having been in the pos
session OF Chapman. A companion of
Chapman and probably the instigator
of the attempted burglary was shot by
the police in an effort to make get
away.
Scores of women's organizations
made strong appeals to the Governor
to save the boy from the electric chair
The Governor took the case under con-
sideration few days ago, shortly ar
ter the Court of Appeals fixed the day
Of execution, and since that time has
been constantly at work urOn il

The best intentions of nations at
previous peace conferences have failed
because of their inability to get
motive large enough to carry them
forward and above the intrigues OF
national competition" according TO
Miss Adams.
Since the war" said she. nations
have reverted TO the primitive methods
employed by individuals who gathered
together in tribes for the purpose OF
collectively fighting starvation. Just
as all exports of food from this Coun-
try have been under governmental
control, so all imports of food into for
eign countries have been under the
control of their Governments.
Restrictive tariffs have been abOl-
ished and 1t Is doubtful II they viii
ever he imposed again. Thus We have
entered upon n new era of Internal
tionalism. which has been evolved out
of the sufferings and privations OF
the war.

F GLUCOSE IS IN JELLY
Method by Which 1t Is Detected ls Simple and of Exceedingly Easy
 Application.

Glucose in fruit preserves may be discovered by the following method given by the Popular Science Monthly:
 in the case of jelly teaspoonful should be dissolved in two tablespoon fuls of alcohol contained in glass vessel. In the case of jam or marma- Jade the same process Is carried out, but 1t Is necessary to filter off the solid matter by running the mixture through piece of muslin. Allow the solution to become perfectly cool and then add an equal volume, or little more, of strong alcohol.
 If glucose is present dense white precipitate slowly settles down. Where no glucose has been employed there is no precipitate, save, in some cases, very trifling sediment of proteid mat ter which, however. is so small that 1t could not possibly be mistaken for the sediment which glucose produces.
 The last named is not particularly harmful In itself, but 1t Is very ire quently used as an adulterant In sup posedly pure preserves for extra profit

tO abate nuiSanceS that Did falr 10 cause the shutdown or removal of costly plants.
 In dealing with dust alone, the nrst direct effort along this line had to do with Portland plant near Riverside, Cal. An electrical treater was install ed there few years ago by way or ex- pertinent, and couple of years later was collecting something like hun dred tons of dust daily. Prior to that the dust had been scattered broadcast and settled upon the groves of ad1a- cent orange growers, leading to exten- sive litigation. Analysis of the re- covered dust disclosed the presence of an appreciable percentage of potash, but this attracted no marked attention at the time. Since then, particularly now that it is no longer possible for us to get potash from our prime source. Germany, this element so es- sential to balanced plantfood Is In great demand.
 Last year the plant at Riverside started full blast to actually create dust as its first concern in order to recover the potash which previously had been only by-product in the manufacture of cement.
 Cement Becomes By-Product.
 This is certainly romantic devel- opment of modern industry, where an apparatus installed for the purpose of saving the life of the factory turns out to be the center of operations around which the entire plant Is adjusted. In other words, the cement becomes for the once the by-product and the profits on the potash furnish an ample revenue, while the cement Is just so much additional gain.
 Anyone at all familiar with the aver age cement plant and the gray pow dered appearance of the nearby ter ritory can realize the boon that would be conferred by the general adoption of electrical precipitators not only in preventing the escape of the dust but in saving the potash which Is so much desired.
 Perhaps the most interesting part of the whole story of Doctor Cottrell's success is the fact that he has pre- sented to Smithsonian institute at Washington all of his valuable patents relating to the electrical precipitation of dust smoke and fumes. The pur- pose of this munificence on his part was that any profits resulting from the practical application of the pat ents should go to the upbuildlng of fund to aid in the advancement of scientific research. In short. to help genius and to develop inventions where the needful financial aid might itherwise be lacking

between 100000 and BOG, ,000 cubic feet per minute, and during the filtration tests made of the gases throughout period of nine months it was found that the electrical precipitator recov- cred between so and 90 per cent of the suspended matter. With improve ments in detail of construction, the eff ficiency later was raised we'll up into the nineties.
 Great Wastage in Smoke.
 The general public has only the faintest notion of the wastage repre- sented in the fumes and smokes from belching stacks quite apart from the beneficient economies following from their abatement where the nature of these outpourings Is harmful to man and vegetation. In the smelting of lead the fume contains anywhere from < to 10 per cent of the voatilized met al in the form of lead oxide and lead and antimony. This percentage is well worth recovering. Doctor Cott- rell is authority for the statement that not less than 30 valuable substances are found in fumes which, If not col lected, would be lost during the smelt- ing and refining of various ores, etc.
 At Great Falls, Mont. there was at one time daily loss in dust from the stacks of one of the large smelters of 3,775 pounds of copper. 108 ounces of silver, and 0.71 ounces of gold. By an adequate provision for dust recovery. this shelter Was able to save in the course of single year metallic val ues amounting to $130,263.
 The blighting gas, sulphur dioxide. given off from the stacks of copper smelters can be transformed into use ful substances by turning the gas into sulphuric acid or sulphur. Sulphuric acid Is largely made here by treating pyrites, and we now consume annually in the neighB6rhood of 6250,0OO tons of 90 per cent sulphuric acid To a great extent this corrosive fluid Is n prime constituent in the preparation of fertilizers, especially where phos- phate rock is treated for this purpose. It Is also used in converting the am- monia by-products of cooking ovens into ammonia sulphate. Sulphuric acid is in great demand by explosive factories. oil refiners, steel mills and varied industries engaged in the mak- ing of heavy chemicals. Sulphuric acid is likewise extensively employed by smelters and the latter are paying as high as $50 ton today for the stuff. Sulphur dioxide is used in the preparation of wood pulp for pa per making. both as a disintegrating and bleaching agent.
