INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL
AT MARIANNE

Mr.. NJ. M. Little, probation officer
for Marion county. who went last
week to pay visit TO the state indus
trial school at Mariana, is high in
his praise for the way that place is
now conducted.
The Mariana school has come up
from the depths. From the day it
started it was treated not as a re
formatory but as penal institution
Bows sent there were far worse treat
ed than the grown criminals in the
turpentine camps. They lived i'll fed
and i'll clothed in the midst of mental
and material filth and were treated
like little slaves. Thru the neglect

burned to death in locked building

manage the electric light plant and do
many other things that fit them for

AT the same time they are receiving

day half of them work ON the farm

while the other half goes into the
field and shops. Probably the best
system of education that could be de-
vised.
The boys are decently clothed and
well fed. No longer, as in the old
days, do they eat short rations Of in

sit down to plenty of good food, most

THE PLATFORM
New York Timesl


Those who read the platform sub
mitted TO the San Francisco conven-
tior by the committee on resolutions
will at once scrutinize it at the criti-
cal points. They will expect to find
much surplusage that can be passed
ever; much party glorifcation and
party attack that can be ignored.
Such things are common form in po-
litical platforms-things that, as
Burke said pleasantly cause smile
upon "the severe brow of moral free
oom." In these matters the demo-
Gratis vie with the republicans. 1t
could not be otherwise. But there are
certain questions on which the dem
ccrats were looked to for a distinc-
tive utterance; others where they
might be tempted to go wrong; still
others on which they might alarm the
country instead of reassuring it. How
have the trainers of the platform met
these tests and escaped these dam
gers?
First and most important comes the
question of foreign relations and the
world-settlement after the great war.

eased off to port and balloon jib top
sails carried on the same side. At the
second mark where they began their

port in the run dead before the wind

ed to tack down the wind and dispense
with his spinnaker in which case the
Ehamrock's skipper probably followed
suit, as it has been shown that in light
breezes yachts sail faster with main
sheets eased and the head sails
trimmed down to catch every ounce
of wind.
That the centerboard carried by the

fact that in all the races so farm the

BODY OF NUDE
WOMAN IS FOUND
IN A TRUNK
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK CITY, July 23.-The
body of q nude woman, jammed in i
trunk, was found by employees of the
American Express Co., among the un-
claimed baggage at the company's
44th street warehouse. The trunk
was received from Detroit on June
II. Believing that the trunk contained
some perishable merchandise, one of
the expressmen opened it and found
the woman's body. The body had
been jammed into the trunk and the
clothes apparently thrown in after
ward. No marks of violence were on
the body. The woman was apparently
% years of age with blue eyes and a
good appearance.
The trunk in which the body Of the
woman was contained was shipped, it
has been learned, by man who gave
his name as A. A. Tieturn, 105 Har-
per street, Detroit. The trunk was to
be delivered to an address given as
James Douglas, New York
The body Of the woman was covered
with feminine wearing apparel of
good quality, and was crammed into
the trunk in such a way that the
sides of the trunk bulged out with its
contents. The police say that there
is as yet no clue as to the identity of
the woman murdered.

COLORADO MAY Go.
THRU YUMA LEVEE.
SHOULD RIVER RISE.

The old Colorado river is knocking
ut the very doors of Yuma and in the
event of any sudden rise in the river
imav gain an entrance. The river at
! the present time is rushing like Il mill
race past the levee which guards the
east side of the city, and follows the
levee nearly its entire length. Since
| the big flood of some weeks ago, the
Ibed of the Colorado river has under
gone some radical changes. During
the flood, the main channel Of the
river was near the middle of the bed
Cf the river. However, ut the present
time where the river used to be Is now
an island of no mean size and the
Colorado river has swung clear over
TO the Arizona side and is now rushing
bv the levee extending from the ice
plant to penitentiary hill.
The Colorado river swings down
from where the Gila river enters in to
within Il few hundred feet of the ice
plant where it makes 4 right hand
swing and flows along the levee. The
river has been cutting very rapidly at
the ice plant and unless something IS
done or the river changes its bed 1t
will soon be over to the ice plant and
may even endanger that structure.
Some time ago the city of Yuma Is
sued levee bonds to the sum of $4,000
with which money it was proposed to
widen and strengthen the levee. How
ever, it was later found that the bonds
were illegal and could not be sold. Con-
seQuently the city has had no money
to eXpend upon the levee this year.
