REMARKABLE STORY OF
CRIME IS RELATED BY
PROFESSIONAL THIEF

ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE TO MORNING JOURNAL
Santa Fe, Aug. 26.--FeliX Janocha,
alias Jack Hanson, arrested in Albu-
querque and brought back to santa F'e
by Sheriff George w. Armijo, admits
to the authorities, according to the
sheriff, that he robbed or tried to rob
the Wood-DaVis Hardware company
store on the plaza, S. G. Sindelar's
shoe store, H. c. Yontz jewelry store,
Louis Lowitzkis the Capital vulcan
izing companys office and the Span
ish cafe. In several places he secured
money and merchandise but not to
any large amount He told the police a
sob-story of how he left Cracow in
Austria when the war broke out, how
he fell in with professional thieves
who trained him, how he suffered a
fall that injured his spine so that he
can do no hard labor and how in this
country he joined THE Secret Ten,
at Lowell, Mass, and assisted them
by standing guard while they commit
ted robberies. He was well paid for
that, he said, but finally the gang was
"pinChed" and he was sent to the re-
form school for nine months. After
his discharge he was unable to get
work in the east and came to New
Mexico, landing in Albuquerque,
where he was unable to secure em-
poyment, and made his way to Santa
Fe in July. He was broke and could
get no work or money and therefore
planned the rohberies. He sold a few
articles at Lamy and then proceeded
to Albuquerque, where he was ar

ADVERTISING AMERICA.

Announcement that a company of
American theatrical producers is to
lease a Partisan theater for presenta-
ton of play and players from the
United States in gratifying. 1t is said
to be the first step in an ambitious
program to enter every great Euro
pean capital, it's chief function to pro-
vide American entertainment for
Americans in foreign lands. That the
undertaking will receive hearty well
come from the large American colony
in Pars there can be no question, and
it is likely. indeed, that Frenchmen
themselves may show keen interest
in this opportunity to see. first-hand,
one product of American art.
Acquaintance with the thought and
the laughter of the American stage
may give France another view of this
country from which to judge US.
America has long given welcome to
celebrities from European theaters
and the tours here of Madame Bern
hlrdt and of Sir Herbert Tree, to
mention only two, have done much to
give us a froader view of their re-
spectiVe countries.
Perhaps too, American dramatic
work will not be so lightly regarded
at home if it proves itself abroad
There is s.rong suspicion that Ameri-
can art is not without honor save in
its own country.

OF the entire number of men, old,
cripples, invalids, and those exempt
for any reason, one in five of New
Mexico men, went into army or navy
service when needed.
That proportion was far above the
average of states. There are reasons.
Not only were the citizenry willing,
enlisting freely and gladly obeying
draft requirements. but the men were
physically fit. Causes of the fitness
were various. simple life, sunshine,
absence of malarial conditions, lack
of dissipation, the toning up due to
life in the open, the custom of sleep
ing in the open air, healthful occupa-
ton of most of the people. Life
under such conditions tends to
optimism. to normal fitness. bravery
and capability.
Least this calm for New Mexico
may be judged as local brag, ii is
well to refer to the corroborating rec
ords.
The general staff of the army has
been carefully learning facts from
draft records, reports of the eXamn-
ing surgeons and by most thorough
investigation. The result. is chart
or map that tells the tale showing per-
centages by states, of drafted men
passing examination. 1t is tribute
to the benefit of climate and habits
of the md-continent even in the cold
northern portion.
The states printed in white show
men in such fine physical condition
that 70 to 50 per cent were accepted
for service. Other states graded with
shaded lines down to the states print
ed in black from which only so TO So
per cent were accepted.
There is a broad band of white
across the map from North Dakota on
the north to Texas to the south. Mis-.
souri, barely misses being in white
class. 1t comes in the next group
from which from 65 to 60 per cent
were accepted.

AMENDMENT ON TOBOGGAN.

Several weeks ago at a meeting Of
educators at Santa Fe. emphatic
condemnation was given of the pro
posed amendment TO the constitution.
which would provide a board of con-
troll of four salaried officials to man
age all state institutions.
The board of directors of the Las
Vegas Commercial club has taken
action, in opposition to the plan. Sew
eral newspapers oppose the amend
ment and not one has come to its
support. Objections mostly urged are
that directors would be chosen for
political reasons from among poll
ticians willing to take jobs paying but
$4,000 per year for the entire time of
a director, be subject to the selection
by a governor without confirmation
by the senate, and not have the capac-
ity or interest shown by unpaid high
class citizens, who now direct educa-
tional institutions.
While the vote at the constitutional
election next month is apt to be small,
through lack of general attention. the
outlook is that the people of the large
towns where institutions are located,
where citizens know institutions are
we'll and economically conducted at
present, will so the polls and pre-
vent Capitalization in a board that
at the capital, would be less in touch
with local interests.

NEATNESS IN DRESS.

There was a time when political
leaders affected carelesness in dress,
seeking in this way to give evidence
of democratic thought The fashion
has not altogether died, for We have
in Amerca-and in certain European
chancelories as well-men who dis
dain the ordinary niCetles OF dress.
But if they hope to gain long by this
display they may be disappointed. We
have the assurance of no less keen
an observer than Senator CaDper that
Woodrow Wilson is our best-dressed
president. After an interview with
the president, the senator remarked:
Next to the presidents amiability l
was most impressed with his dress.
1t recalled an old saying of my boy
hood. He looked as if he might have
just jumped out of a bandbox.'
1t is an old saw that clothes do
not make the man. But they reveal
him. Mans apparel is restricted by
the nature of his work. 1t would be
wanton extravaganza for a coal HEAVIER
to wear to work a suit for a business
man. And the clerk would not long
hold his position if he appeared at
tired in a coal heavens regalia. But
when the man who works with his
hands is at leisure there is no reason
why he should be less neatly dressed
than any of his fellows.
Neatness is not a matter of ele-
gance. The neatest dress is the simp-
lest. Neatness is essentially matter
of pride. And the man who does not
have pride in himself cannot expect
TO command respect of others.
Mr., Wilson is setting a good
example in observing the nicet!es of
personal appearance, even amid the
rush of domestic and international
business. Like many other men. he
may find that he can think more
clearly, act more confidently when
buoyed by the self-reliance which
well-kept clothes give to men.

EDUCATION FOR MOUNTAINEERS.

Instead of going into vaudeville to
show himself off and collect large
indemnity from the curious people,
as most of our pugilistc champions
have done, Sergeant York. the great
est individual fighter of the world
war, has decided to devote his efforts
TO promoting education among his
mountain people, and he Will tour the
country for funds to establish York
university
The sergeant could undertake no
nobler or more important work than
that of raising the educational status
of the people of the mountain dis
tricts and his decision to take up this
work is another manifestation of the
fine spirit and the common sense
York has shown ever since he became
known to the country. His meteor.

tain boy to the nations hero. has
not turned his head. and the country
honors him all the more for his
modesty.
1t was by being useful that York
gained his eminence and he desires TO
continue to be useful. Education
among the mountain people of many
districts has been sadly neglected, and
they have failed to progress as rapidly
as the people of the rest of the coun-
try. Numerous religious agencies are
attempting to enlarge educational
facilities among the mountaineers and
to bring them into closer touch with
the life of the age and of this country
York himself was a conscientious
objector for a time, even after ne
entered the army. but his outlook has
been broadened and he realizes the
need of his people, and with that same
spirit of heroism that led him to Kill
single handed more than a score OF
Germans, he is going in to attack the
evils of ignorance and superstition
among the backward people of the
mountains.
