Ogden Street Man,
 Passing 9Oth Year;
 Has Unique Career

Ninety years is long time. So long in fact. that few people ever live to see that many. One of those few. is Wilbur A. Gleason of 23t Og acn street who has just passed his ninotieth birthday. What 90 years nine-tenths of a century-means in years and events is difficult to grasp mentally.
 : It helps some to realize that, when 'this man was born on Jan. 29. up in Manchester, Conn, away back in 1881. there were still 15 yearSs o come before the outbreak of the Mex tcan War; Andrew Jackson was President and would be for another five years; Madison and Monroe were still alive and Adams and Jefferson - had been dead but five years Since then the country has engaged in five wars and 5 men have occupied the Presid ents chair ~>
 Most of Mir. Gleason's early life was spent in Ianchester and sur rounding towns. At 3 he went to work in Glastonbury for a man by thc name of Hubbard who had a large farm and also ran tannery. / He returned to Manchester and went into the shop of a relative where hs learned the trade of a wagon ! maker. After a few years he de- cided that 1t was not satisfactory

London Whether the Union of South Africa will remain an integral part of the British empire or secede and become a self-governipg republic is the momentous outcome which hinges upon the general elections which take place in South Africa next Tuesday.
 Official circles are following the dramatic electoral struggle with in tense interest The Colonial Office frankly admits that the retention of the Union of South Africa in the British Empire is more seriously men, aced than since the days of the Boer war.
 Dispatches from Cape Town and Pretoria say that the campaign is be- ing waged with unprecedented viru- lence. Sessionist feeling has been launched to fury, especially among the farmer classes. Many African farmers have never forgiven England for smashing the Boer republic.

War to the knife on the Don't give d-so- ciety girls''-those who come to dances in short socks and knee dresses, whose Earters show when they whirl around in the evolutions of the 'camel-walk'', who allow their partners to dance with check resting on check, and who drink for the sake of devilishness-is to continue in re- lentless fashion by Brown University students via the pitiless publicity route.
 And war,is to continue on those mothers who allow their daughters to ''popularize indecency". not bad girls but girls who do -brazen things be- cause .'everybodys doing it.

The points upon which the defense, will take the case to the Supreme Court of Errors, which will likely operate as a stay of execution, were contained today in a request for finding of facts in the case, filed in the Superior Court by Pullman & Comley attorneys for Wade.
 Twenty days will be allowed the States Attorney to make a reply to the request and then the papers will pass to Trial Judge Hinman for re- view and his finding.
 It will probably be the middle of March before a finding of facts can be rendered. Then the case will go on appeal to the Supreme Court of Errors. The procedure permits of little possibility of the highest courts decision being reached by the origi- naldate set for the hanging.
 Wade'S request for a finding of facts is a document of seventy closely typewriter sheets. It was filed carly this morning with the clerk of the superior court, and there was no time for the state attorneys office to read it.
 Virtually two points are raised in the petition for special finding on which to base the|appeaI. These are the testimony of Dr. John C. Lynch and the courts exercise of discre- tionary powers in charging the i1II-y The defense claims that the court i erred in admitting testimony of Dr l Lynch on the point of Wade's men | tality and in refusing to admit at the same time the witness to tesify as tc | (Continued on Page SiN) ss
