CHICAGO, Ill.-A man legally ex-
ecuted, pronounced dead, and then
revived by means of a pulmotor,
could commit any crime known to
law. and not be liable to prosecution
and legal punishment.
The law doesn't recognize his
existence.
He might walk into the court room
OF the judge who sentenced him and
kill the judge who pronounced his
fate, and no hand could be laid on
him.
on the other hand. he would have
no protection under the law, no mat
ter what offense might be committed
against him.
This is one of the phases Of the
legal question that has been brought
up since the attempts to resuscitate
into life the bodies Of Sam Cardi-
nella and Nnck Viana. murderers
hung here recently. The law is taxi
ing no chances now. and bodies are

ICE MOUNTAINS

Coast Guard Cutters on

From Disaster
ONE GIANT is THIRD
OF MILE LONG

BOSTON - Icebergs of unusual
size and number. one of them esti-
mated to contain enough ice to sup
ply the homes Of large part Of the
country for the rest of the summer,
have been encountered by the United
States Coast Guard cutters Seneca
and Yamacrew which are policing
the ocean steamship lanes.
Since early February the United
states Government, acting under an
International agreement and at in
ternational expense, has maintained
the annual iceberg patrol. The coast
guardsmen have helped many vessels
to steer safe course through the
danger zone. Some have been ex-
tricated from serious positions
others have been warned when they
were headed for the ice.
The open winter caused a large
number Of bergs to break away
early and drift south. They have be
come an abnormally serious menac'
to navigation, according to naval Of
/ ficers.
The giant of all the icebergs is de
| scribed by Lieut-Com. +. II. Smith
| navigator of the Seneca, as approx
mately one-third of a mile long an
towering 75 feet above the water
This berg remained in sight for near
ly a month, during which time
Travelled 800 miles. The vagaries o
the ice movements are shown by tn
fact that another berg circled abou
the vessel, covering 35 miles in thre
days.
At times the patrol boats hav
gone alongside the floating regrigera
tors to obtain cracked ice for tn
wardroom or huge chunks whic
could be melted to replenish tn
lfresh water supply.
Althoubh plans far ridding the sec
Of these dangers TO navigation haV
often been proposed. the coast guar
officers insist the icebergs still ru

? ing with interest reports Of exper
: ments made by the destroyer Brecl
enridge, which shot several berl
: with torpedoes. Some of the Goa
guardsmen are frankly skeptical

She's the Champions Real Discouerer

N. f. A. stan Special.
OAKLAND. Cai.-Who discover
ed" Jack Dempsey. heavyweight
champion OF the world?
Now wait a minute. Maybe you
did and maybe you didn't Be
tween Atlantic City. n. j.. and Oak
land. Cal. some 500 people claim TO
be the original "seer" who started
Jack toward the Carpenter battle.
But they're all wrong. Jack
himself says so. The champion
gives the credit to a little, home
loving woman who spends her time
in big roomy house in Oakland
which Dampsey's fists have provid-
ed for her.
she's Ma" Kearns, mother OF
lack Kearns. the champions man
ager. 1t happened this way.
When Jack quit the shipyards in
Seattle to fight under Gearns' man
agement he was broke" and
Kearns didn't have much more than
expense money. About all Kearns
had was a good home and a wonder
fui mother, a mother who believed
in her son. even If she was not a
fan
Il don't think his surroundings
in San Francisco are the best said
Ma" Kearns. in speaking Of Jacks
new fighter. 'Why not bring him
over TO our house and have him live
with us?" And Jack came on over.
Dempsey was a sick man then.
He weighed 10, was pale, tired
looking and had little ambition.
Those were the days Of short
dough" and Dempsey was willing to
box for anything he could get
But the future champion was
building up-building up on the
good. substantial cooking Of Ma
Kearns. There were no favors
shown between the two Jacks-Mrs.
Kearns had two sons then.
For a time success did not come.
and Jacks mind wandered back to
the shipyards. But It wandered
right back to the boxing game again
when he thought Of MAS cooking.
For a manager to take fighter into
his family was something unusual;
but Dempsey. at heart. is just big,
home-loving kid who would rather
fool around a garden, or play with
some kids than knock a fellow-citi-
zen sprawling. One Of his greatest
joys was helping ma" wash the
dishes.
Then, "fed up" speaking literally
Jack got going" He bowled over
all the second raters. and ultimately
knocked out Champion Jess Willard.
But fame and money didn't mean
elaborate grape parties or big dia-
monds.
Jack hastened right back TO oak
land and stuck his feet under the
table and devoured some more OF
Mas cooking. Then the pair OF
Jacks made MA" a present OF a
magnificent home in place Of the lit
tie frame cottage. And that's where
Jack heads for after every fight.
Since 1917 Dempsey has grown
from ITO pounds to 20o-on home
cooking; from a sickly-looking Sec
ond-rater to one OF the finest speci
mems Of physical manhood that evei
held the heavyweight title-and h'
didn't do it on restaurant cooking.
So. although other may be en-
titled to some credit for Jack Demp
sey's successful ring career-don
forget the part Ma" Kearns playe'
says the champion.
