TWO CONVICTED
As P|CKF0RD
PL0TTERS
Ten Years to Life Is
Sentence Facing Los
a Angeles Pair.
BY the Associated Press.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 14.-Ten
years to life imprisonment for plotting
to kidnap Mary Pickford faced Claude
Holcomb and Charles z. Stephens to-
day as a result of their conviction in
superior court last night.
A third defendant, Adrian Wood,
was acquitted but did not escape a
warning from several jurors, who, as
they left the courtroom, after return
ing the verdict, told him "he did not
realize how close he came" and to
be more careful about his associates
in future"
Neither Miss Pickford nor her hus-
band, Douglas Fairbanks, was present
when the defendants heard their
fate. Both had testified during the
trial that they knew nothing of the
kidnapping plot save what detectives
told them.
NEW TRIAL SOUGHT.
Sentence was to be pronounced on
Holcomb and Stephens at 10 a. m,
today but defense counsel indicated a
new trial would be asked.
The three defendants were arrested
May 80 last after six weeks of police
investigation. Detectives declared they
had listened in on conferences at
which the trio talked of kidnapping
Jackie Coogan. Baby Peggy, the grand
children of E. l.. Doheny, Pola Negri
and finally Mary Pickford.
Purported confessions obtained from
the three prisoners corroborated these
charges.
100000 RANSOM PLAN.
II was planned. the confessions re-
vealed, to seize Miss Pickford during
Shriner week last June when the
spectacle of trio of be-fezzed merry
makers making off with an actress in
hunting-bedecked automobile was ex-
pected to attract only passing COM
ment.
Then the plans called for incarcera-
ton of the actress in some conven-
iently obscure dwelling until her actor
husband "came across" with $780,
600 ransom.

year for state, county, municipal and

that was payable in 1924. The actual
reduction amounts to $1,046,376.67 or
$983,543 less than the reduction made
in state taxes. The difference is
swallowed up in increased taxes lev

PAIN - A BLESSING


What blessing to man is pain-the
Waterman on the tower, the sentinel
for the citadel of health-that warns
of the presence of disease and mar.
shalls the combative forces!
Pain is natural and necessary for
the safeguarding Of health; absence
of sensation spells death. The tooth
is dead that is no longer capable Of
pain. In some diseases the cessation
Of pain means the advent Of grave dis
aster. In acute appendicitis it means
rupture of the sac and the liberation
Of the pentup devils of disaster.
Zeno and the Stools sought to sup
press the pains and pleasures of the
senses by self-denial and negation, be-
lieving that abnegation promoted spir-
ituality. But life is not the negation
Of death-it is positive pulsing
thing; nor is health the negation Of
disease-it is a 'tingling urge-posi-
tive and thrilling.
Even the normal functions Of life
give rise to pain-hunger, the pain that
put the pep" in pepsin; thirst, the
pain that adds gusto to the gusta-
tory. Surely they deceive themselves
who deny the presence Of pain.
I. But our sentinel may sometimes be
drunk and disorderly; he may cry out
false alarms and lead us into unwar-
ranted combat. We must be sure he
is alert and safe and sane. Then, if
the tooth is aching, grimly seek a
dentist instead of applying some VOC
dooistic rhyme or other hocus; for we
will find no profit in fooling ourselves.
And can these poor deluded mortals
who numb or befuddle their sensibili-
ties by the continued use of narcotics,
asperin, acetanelide, or other coal-tar
preparations, believe that their watch
man will be better guard if slugged
into aching; to continue to numb it
is to clay up wrath to come"
Let us endeavor then to establish
the right perspective Of pain in our
philosophy. The vista will disclose a
glimpse into the realms Of beautiful
and soul-satisfying psychology.

Plan to Extend Electric
Facilities to Farmers

SEATTLE.-All records in the ex.
tension of transmission and distribu.
ton systems will be broken during
the present year, according to an OF
fetal announcement made by the Pu-
get Sound Power 6 Light Company.
Not only are huge substations
planned or under construction in Sc
attic, Sedro-oWolley, Everett, Kelso
and other points throughout the state,
new cables to be laid across the Co.
lumbia River and from the mainland
to Vashon Island, but the annual bud.
get recently adopted by the company
calls for an expenditure of no less
than $1,5OO,OOO for distribution ex-
tensions and improvements alone.
What this means to the electrical
development Of the state may be es.
timated from the fact that in 1928
the company operated total of 4,377
miles of transmission and distribution
lines which was increased to 5,275
during 1924. When 1t is remembered
that some 10000 horsepower was add
ed to the company's power resources
by the opening of the new unit at
White River, January 1, and that the
huge Baker River project will be COM
pleted before the end of the present
year, with it's high tension transmits
sion lines extending both north and
south, it becomes plain that the ad-
vance to be made In 1925 will be
enormous.
\ Another big accomplishment for the
present year will be complete inter.
connection Of all the power plants op-
Grated by the company so that in the
event of accident at any one point,
the supply Of electric energy can be
derived from some other source with
the least possible interruption to SER
vice.
In the meantime the company is CO.
operating with the State College at
Pullman in a conscientious effort to
solve the problem Of electrifying the
farm to the greatest advantage Of the
rural consumer.
