MURDERER OF &c

Haarmann Admits Guilt, Ex.
/ presses Wish to Pay

BY the Associated Press.

ny tne AssoclAIeu fEess
HANOVER, Germany. April 15.-"I
am guilty, gentlemen. but, hard
though it may be, 1 want to die as a
man."
With these words Fritz Haarmann,
Hanover butcher, convicted of the
murder of 26 boys and men, stepped
10 the guillotine early this morning
and a moment later his head was
severed. He was pale and nervous,
but maintained his bravado.
In accordance with German law,
l. highly respected citizens were
chosen as official witnesses. Dressed
in high silk hats and black Prince
Albert coats, they assembled at 6
was hidden from their view by a
curtain.
The guillotine had been erected In
secluded spot of the prison grounds.
Next to II stood an altar with cruel
fix. The prosecuting attorney, step
ping before the altar, dressed In his
official judicial robe. read the sentence
and the court opinion again to the
assembled panel of judges, who like
wise wore their official robes, and had
them once more confirm the sentence.
Haarmann Nervous.
When this was done Haarmann,
Rarbed in a gray prison uniform and
handcuffed, was brought from his cell.
When he faced the judges and wit
nesses he nervously changed from one
leg to the other and blinked inces'
sanity, but otherwise showed no emo
ton. He listened in silence as the
prosecuting attorney repeated the
sentence and the agreement of the
Judges to execution of the verdict.
Only as the curtain before the guillo-
tine was withdrawn did the realiza-
ton of death seem to dawn on him.
and for an instant he appeared to be
paralyzed.
But as the death bell sounded he
pulled himself together and in few
Unconditional words acknowledged him:
self guilty and ready to have the sen;
tence executed, adding that he felt
sorry for his actions. A few moments
later the blade was dropped.

Helium Used as Starter.

Helium, the non-combustible gas
used in filling the lighter-than-air
craft, has found another use. 1t has
always been impossible on the Los
Angeles to carry enough compressed
air intact for the purpose of kicking

periments conducted at Lakehurst

BROWN BLIGHT IS
BEING STUDIED
BY u. 5. EXPERT

l. I. Jaeger, a specialist on dis
eases of vegetables of the L. $. De-
partment of Agriculture, is spend
ing a few days in Imperial Valley.
lie finds that the brown blight dis
ease of lettuce is, as usual, causing
considerable injury in many fields.
where previous crops OF lettuce have
been grown.
According 70 Dr. Jaeger, brown
blight is Il soil borne disease, which
usually causes no injury in first
crop lettuce. With continuous
cropping to lettuce it rapidly be-
comes destructive. The disease
sometimes causes injury to second
crop lettuce and frequently prac-
ticallv destroys third and fourth
crop lettuce.
Dr. Jaeger states that diseased
plants become sickly yellow in col
or, stop growing and fail TO head,
gradually turning brown and dying.
Plants are attacked in all stages Of
growth from thinning to harvest.
Headed plants usually show dead
brown strcaks and blotches in the
leaves of the head. Tn mild eases
of the disease, there is only an oc-
casional diseased plant. but in sew
ercly diseased fields there are fire.
qucntly areas several rods in dia
meter, where practically every
plant is diseased and useless.

new PLANS FOR
PREVENTION OF
FOREST FIRES
by Press Staff Correspondent

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 17-Plans
for forest fire prevention and con-
troll in Southern California tenta-
lively approved by Colonel w. b.
Greeley, chief of the United States
foreign service, were announced here
late yesterday.
The plans involved creation Of 4
new national forest, wider distri-
button of rccrcational activities, ex
tension of fire lines, communication
roads and telephone lines and new
methods of financing.
The plan was drawn up by the
board of fire review for Southern
California after extended investi-
CATION of the San Gabriel fire of
last summer.
The board recommended that the
Angles national forest to be divided
into two separate units, the San
Gabriel division of the forest to con
tinuc under the present organiza-
ton, and the eastern division to
be organized as the new San Ber-
iItA dliO ia iOlttl lOItSis Niti icdl-
quarters at San Bernardino. The
new forest would have an area of
$4,000 acres.
It was also recommended that
about 10000 acres of Indian reserva-
ton lands and private property, ly-
ing along the southern boundary of
the present Angeles forest, be ex-
cluded from the federal area.
Enlarge Roads
The system of roads, trails and
fire lines III all southern forest
would be enlarged, with a dual pur-
pose, first to allow better access
to fires; second, to stimulate re-
creationists to penetrate farther in
to the higher country thus relieving
congestion in the foothill country.
The board also suggested that a
special bill be introduced into con-
grcss providing for an appropria-
tion of $1,000,000 for the protec-
tion of these brush and forest areas
contingent on the expenditure IN
equal amount by private agencies.
These private agencies were urged
in times of fire stress to submit to
direction of the forest service, for
the general protection of valuable
watershed lands to the end that
fire fighting may be systematic
and not chaotic.

Woman Legislator
Would Introduce
Drastic Measure

MADISON, Wis. Jan. 17.-Wis-
consin's bobbed haired legislator
has announced n crusade TO bring
women within the scope of the state
eugenics law Miss Mildred Barber,
%. elected to the house on Il wet -
platform, declared that opposition
to the amendment to that effect
comes from men with false no.
tions of chivalry and modesty.'' =
Miss Barber told the United
Press that she or her father, state
Senator j. L. Barber, will present
an amendment to the eugenics bill
to compel women to undergo med
ical examination prior to marriage.
A similar amendment was defeated
last year. The present law affect
ing men, has been on the books for
about ten years.
Miss Barber is small, we'll built,
vigorous and viyacious
1T is certainly just as irnpor-
tant that society should be assured
of-the health Of the mothers as
EWell aS 1alHerS OF 1utufe genera

Miss Barber then turned her at

who are drinking now. 1t is the young
boys and girls, the college students

Prohibitionists scott at this but
they are blind to the real condi

ing this one law that they would
violate other laws and the entire
bill of rights to do it.
It so simple. People nevar get
