Mrs. Grouse. So he felt that this
hunter with the terrible gun had

RUSH TO PENITENTIARY

An unusual scramble took place in New York
ais fastening to plead guilty and get into Sing Sing
before the doors closed on the night of June 80.
1t is said that Warden Lawes kept office hours
time that night in order to accommodate the late
corners.
Of course, there reason for this mighty
ruch. The new Goodrich parole law, which pre-
scribes careful examination into the past life and
record of all prisoners before they may be granted
received on or after that date are subject to the
new law.
The wise crooks who knew they going to
be convicted anyway wanted to get in under the old
extra sessions to receive their pleas of guilty, and
fast transportation by train, bus and automobile
arranged by friends of the criminals in order to
get them behind the prison walls in time.
Heretofore paroles have been granted with lit
tie attempt to investigate the record of the appli
cant AS many as 20 cases were disposed of in
three-hour session of the parole board. Public
opinion finally asserted itself through passage of
he new law
Consequently Sing Sing has many new faces
Just now, But the rush is over. Instead of fight
ing TO get in, the criminals will now fight harder
than ever to keep out. In fact, they win employ
vious of behaving themselves.

A cRUEsoME HOBBY

Nest persons have hobby of some Sort but
the srangest that has come to our attention is that
Of Phil Hama. a farmer of White county, Illinois.
whose bobby is hanging people According to a
writer N Grit, Hama has hanged 81 men within the
past 80 years
Strange to say Hama is said to be very hui
name man; in fact he declares that he hangs peo-
pie "out of humanitarian interest and desire TO
help sheriffs who have no experience" He has a
hanging job and cause the condemned man needless
suffering.
Therefore, when he hears of a man condemned
TO be hanged he offers his expert services to the
sheriff concerned without fee. frequently even
paying his expenses to the place Of execution.
IL is said that he has performed this service for sher-
ifs in Illinois, Missouri, Indiana and Arkansas.
Hama has complete hangman's outfit with the
exception Of the gallows itself, including ropes,
black caps, and straps to bind the condemned mans
add legs, which he carries with him his en-
gagements. He says that he arranges all details
SO carefully that death is almost instantaneous.
As.souyenirs of his gruesome hobby Hama has
newspaper clippings telling the story of each exc
cuton at which he offciated, and other relics. He
also has large collection of hlack hand letters

THE ABRAM woLkowsEY CASE

The fact that Abram Wokowsky reputed to
be one of the wealthiest men in Key West, who
made his money here in manner that is quite
well known, owner of number of old shacks at the
corner of Duval and Greene streets, was arrested
this week. tried in the city court and fined SIS for
persistentIy refusing to comply with the building
laws of the city, is distinct compliment to the
police force, the city building inspector and the
municipal Judge.
The Citizen gave this story prominence on the
front page yesterday because it is a most sgn;fi-
cant news item, and is backed by the records in
the office of the chief of police and of the city
court.
Abram Wolkowsky had started workmen on
the job of placing kind of strip roofing over
the old shngled top of the old ramshackle, hen
coop looking for a structure at the corner
of Duval and Green, directly opposite the Victoria
Cafe. Policemen stopped the work because no per-
NIT had been issued by the building Inspector. As
soon as the police officers left the scene The work
was started again, the evidence showed, and there
ky. After being fined in Court, he hen took out
a conditional permit, and went ahead with the work
If this had been due to ignorance the part
of Abram Wolkowsky, or if he had been too poor to
pay the insignificant fee for issuing the permit
the case would have assumed entirely different
aspect But it is well known that at frequent in
tervals in the past he has by another
overridden the building regulations of the city in
patching up his old shacks, even sometimes having
the work done at night time.
But, in the language of the cartoonist, Them
Days Are Gone Forever" in Key West. 1t the
admirable spirit of progress that prompted the

pride in his efforts to patch up that old eye
sore, that nuisance and firetrap of his at the
ner of Greene and Duval streets.
