Wanted to Die Naturally

Simeon E. Baldwin. eminent law yer and jurist, former chief justice and governor of Connecticut, many years before his death publicly ex- pressed his belief that a human be- ing had the right to die natural death.,
 "Old'age," he said, twas the only natural way to death," and he depre- cated efforts of physicians to pro- long life when death impended from physical cause or when the patient was incurably ill. MT. Baldwin him. self became an illustration of his be- lief, although he could not foresee that when he took issue with medical practice which sought "merciful death" for the unfortunate.
 He was one of the founders of the American Bar association in 1878.
 No cold, formal legal opinion from the bench by him as chief justice, or any utterance by him as executive of the state received so much or wide spread attention as did Judge Bald wins address as president of the American Social Service association, in September, 1899, on The Nation al Right to Natural Death
 It provoked discussion, especially as he was then an associate justice of the State Supreme court and al ready as a professor in Yale Law school had become recognized as an n 1If mt rti tional and corporation law.
 His Ancestral Record
 MT. Baldwin's ancestral record was remarkable, he being the fifth of the blood to serve as governor of the state. He was the youngest son of Roger sherman Baldwin, a gov ernor of Connecticut and United States senator, and a great grandson of Roger sherman, signer of the Declaration of Independence. On his mothers side he was Q descendent of three Connecticut governors. He was a corporation and railroad law yer and legislative agent before his as an associate justice
 
 He became chief justice in 1907 and The democratic party took him up as their nominee for governor. Schism in the republican party brought about his election in 1910, the first democratic governor since 1 1S93-1S95. He was reelected in 1912. A republican in political faith, he followed Cleveland in 1884 and was an uncompromising democrat.
 Born in New Haven
 Born in New Haven, February 5, 1S40, MT. Baldwin was graduated from Yale college, and Yale and Harvard Law schools. At 29 he be- came an instructor in the law school and later as a full professor he re- tained his connection with the school until June 1919.
 He held membership in many learned and legal societies, both in the United States and abroad.

MEXICAN REVOLUTION
 IS REPORTED AS OVER
YaQui Indians Have Not Surrendered Arms So They Will Be Block
 aded.

Mexico City, Jan. 31 Rl-After a sharp and most sanguinary combat iii the state of Jalisco says a report to the war department from General Ferreiras. commander in that state, the Jalisco rebellion has received its death blow.
 The report described how a large group of rebels commanded by For tino Sanchez was oyertaken by fed eral soldiers at Ocampo, when a fight lasting several hours develop ed. The rebels fled, divided into small groups, pursued by the feder- al forces. Sanchez was discovered among the dead. The number of casualties is not mentioned.
 While it is learned here that all Catholic priests of the state of Jalisco have been notified to report dailp to the department of interior in Mexico City after February, so far as is known priests in other states will not be molested. Similar orders were given to the priests of the state of Durango few weeks ago.
 Special despatches from Guadala- iara telling of the order to the Jalisco priests, say the action was taken because of Catholic agita- ton" in that state.
 Negotiations for submission of the rebellious Yaqui Indians in the state of Sonora have failed. The govern ment therefore has decided to con- tinue to blockade their strongholds, hoping to bring the tribesmen to reason through hunger.
 Though willing to surrender, the Yaquis refuse to deliver up their arms and demand continuance of the subsidy which the government gave them before they started their rising last summer.

HUGE MONKEY FARMS TO PROVIDE
 GLANDS FOR GRATING PREDICTED
Race of Super-men Will Eventually Be Developed, Ac-

London. Jan. 31 UP)-Descend- ants of the gibbering monkey who, evolutionists say, gave man his first start in life, will soon sacrifice his blands to create 6 world of super men, Dr. Voronoff, world famed ex- perimenter of money glands, has predicted.
 Envisioning world in which monkey farms will be as numerous as chicken yards and morons as rare as dodos, Dr. Voronoff. in an inter- view with a Daily Press correspon- dent at Marlt Carlo, foresaw a lengthening of the human life span to double its present term through monkey gland grating.

and intelligence" he said. Monkeys provide us with set of glands which act on the chart and brain. It is very well to graft glands on aged humans; that sets the clock back.
 But by the reverse process of grating glands on male children of from eight to ten years 8 race of supermen will be produced. There must be, however. an adequate SUD- ply of glands and vast monkey farms therefore must be created"
 Voronoff expressed the belief that renewal of human energy was still in it's infancy. Salvation of the human race, he felt, must come from the monkey.
 Fifty years hence we should be able to double the span Of human life," he concluded.
