stage is not yet outgrown. In the
smaller communities especially,
there are many who regard the
local light company as a grasping
soul-less monster, against which it
is perfectly light to retaliate by
ANY possible means,
Thus the second stage in the
history Of Industry is passing, and
we are in the beginning Of a third
stage. 1t is distinguished by co,
operation, mutual understanding,
and a community of interest be
tween the corporations and the pa
irons. The change is illustrated,
on the part Of business by the
rather general motto, ''The Gus
toner is always right and on
the part of the customer, by the
frequent franchise provision that
1.-THE charges of certain public util-
Titles shall be determined from time
TO time according to profits. The
public has committed itself to a
Give and let live attitude.
Now this third stage has come
Iabout through education of the in
|dustries and the public. Corpor-
ations have learned by experience
Hong since, that public goodwill is
their greatest asset, and they have
set about gaining it by an i'm
.lproyement in the service, and a
practical policy of cooperative ed
Iucation. The public is slowly re
acting, becoming more liberal
lIminded, having learned by exper-
Silence and cooperative education.
The public utilities are always
seeking for means of improving
their service. They are putting q
premium upon technical education

their organization cooperation

TREE PLANTING ON vAsHoN
AND MAURY ISLANDS

The late Daniel Burnham, arch
itect of the Chicago Fair, gave this
advice: Make no little plans J;
they have no magic to stir men S
blodd and probably will not be
realized Make big plans: aim
high in hope and work, remem-
bering that a noble, logical dia-
gram once recorded will never die,
but long after we are gone, will be
living thing, asserting itself
with growing intensity" Mr.. Burn
ham would approve of the big
plans of the modest organization
which has set itself to the task
Of planting trees along the high
ways and i'll the villages of these,
our islands.
The project is generally APPROX
ed. Care will be taken and fore
thought, to get expert advice as to
the kind of trees best suited to
our soil and climate, and to learn
of their availability, The general
idea under consideration is that
trees along the main highway
should be uniform and planted at
a distance Of 35 or 40 feet apart,
that the outlook from homes adj
joining shall not be INSTRUCTED.
Trees properly chosen and planted
with this spacing, along vista
of several miles, win become a
landmark of which our children
will be proud. Trees on the side
roads may differ from those on
the highways. The Campfire Girls,
Vashon, may well be interested
they with the Boy Scouts of the
Islands, are giving enthusiastic
support. These young people see
in tree-planting no ephemeral ser
vice, but one whose fruits will be
theirs to enjoy throughout the
coming years.
The organization soon to be
perfected, seeks representation
from all parts of the Islands. 1t
asks that all who have ideas or
opinions on the subject, submit
them. ii asks support from all,
that a noble, logical plan may be
made, this plan to be the basis for
work Of many years. 1t is not
unreasonable to believe that our
efforts may restore the Islands,
not to the wild beauty they pos
sessed, before man laid his rough
baud on them aud left his shabby
trail of stumps and shacks, but to
the cultivated beauty found in old
world countries, where every
prospect plcases, "
SiXty-five years ago the site of
the city of Denver was treeless,
save for a few cottonwoods, and
il was believed that the climate
was such that nothing better
would ever grow there. But John
Russell believed otherwise and
thirty years ago, got permission
from the state authorities to try
out his ideas on the State Capitol
grounds in Denver. Today, as the
result Of his intelligence, taste and
industry, fifty-five different kinds
Of trees are furnishing there.
They include. among many others,

cation.
Professor Hendrick Paekeland,
the great chemist said: ''The work
of chemistry is a war ON waste
disease, poverty, misery, sorrow
and -mindedness and we
might say that education is a wal
on ignorance, which breeds all OF
the above calamitics.

given us conveniences and enjoy
ments that our forefathers never
dreamed of, and education is the
door to science, just as industry is
the highway over which comes the

ducts of industry. Industry builds
upon science; and science lives
upon education.
Education broadly means Co.

EDUCATION AND INDUSTRY
ARE INSEPANABLE

The most striking American
characteristic is our substan-
tial Unity of View in considering
fundamental questions of Society.
Thomas Jefferson called it 1.-THE
American mind. The National
attitude, the reaction of American
mind Of today towards the public
service corporations is, on the
whole, favorable. 1t has not al
ways been so, but no people
learn so quickly by experience as
do we Americans.
The history of Industry presents
three interesting stages: the first
was in the time when there was
mo division of labor, and every
family produced its own necessi-
ties; the second came when some
men began to produce manufac.
Itured goods, or render service
which other men bought; and ther
arose the age-old antagonism be
tween buyer and seller; of which
one modern version is the feeling
Iof distrust on the part of the aver
age citizen toward big bushes.

hanged at Wethersfield prison for
the murder of Policeman James
Skeliy of this city when he was
caught in the act of robbing the
safe Of the Devidson & Leventhal
store here. and freedom. after five
years behind the bars of the Hart
ford county Jail and states prison at
Wethersfield.
At meeting of the prison board
Of parole yesterday. shean's appli-
cation for release was passed unani-
mously. He will be released in the
custody Of his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles T. Shean of Springfield and
he will be required to report in
writing to the prison officials as to
his activity. his employment and
other details of his life. Any infrac-
ton Of the rules of parole will bring
him back to prison to serve the re-
mainder of a five years sentence.
Served Full Sentence
The board of parole. as It was ex-
planned by Colonel Norris G. Osborne
Of New Haven, president, took into
consideration that Shean had served
two years In the Hartford county
Jail and three years at Wethersfield.
making the time the length of his
maximum sentence.
Shean was arrested on Sunday
morning, October ~. 1924 on Church
street when, after a tip that the
Davidson & Leventhal store was be-
ing robbed. q squad of policemen
swooped down on the place. Police
men Walter Malona and John Lieb-
Ter were directed down Church
street by bystander who said that
one of the men went down that way.

by the fact that he had broken
prison rules by trying to send out .
letter without permission.
One of the touching things abou'
the entire affair ever since Shean
was first arrested was the faithful
support given him by hts parents.
They were with him constantly
throughout the Chapman trial and
since then they have been consistent
visitors at the prison.
1t is reported that since his in
generation In states. prison, Shean
has lost the love of Miss Herminia

Miami. Fla. She. it was reported.
often said that she would be willing
to marry him when he left the pri-
son. She was a rival of Mrs. Berriam
Mossey, also of Springfield.
RecOnciled to Punishment
At the prison, Shean has been re-
ported to be reconciled to the fact
that he deserved punishment for his
crime and he has never found fault
with his lot. He has been model
prisoner. He has spent his spare time
in reading the classics. He at one
time prepared for Harvard univer-
sity but he left school, ran away
from home and secured job as taxi
driver in New York city. 1t Is pre-
sumed that he made his first con-
tact with the underworld there.
He is determined. it is said to
redeem himself in the eyes of the
public and of his friends for the mis-
deeds of the past.
His parents are wealthy and al
though he could have had everything
that wealth could buy. Shean chose
to follow path Of crime. Despite
this. his father and mother have
stuck by him and they are happy
that he is to be released from GUS
tody. ...
The members Of the board of
parole who acted on his petition yes
terday are as follows: Colonel Nor

dent: William c. Cheney of South

Alfred E. Atwater went to the rear
Of the store by an alleyway and Po-
liceman Clarence Lanpher remained
at the front door.
Shean was at first charged with
murder and a search, through infor-
nation supplied by him, was started
for Gerald Chapman. Later, when
Chapman was arrested, the charge
against Shean was lessened to statu-
tory burglary and carrying a con-
cealed weapon. The state claimed
that Shean was arrested on Church
street after refusing to go through
with the job at the local store. This
der.
After serving time in Jail until aft
er the Chapman trial, Shean was
sentenced to states prison for 4
term of from one to five years. Sem
tence was passed on May II, 1926.
His sentence expires in July, 1880
and he will be in the custody of his
parents until that time.
During the Chapman trial. Shean
was one of the star witnesses for the
state and it was mainly through his
testimony that Chapman was found
guilty and was sentenced to die.
Judge Frederick Groehl. counsel
for Chapman, termed Shean stool
pigeon" and other names, but he was
unable to shake his story.
To Leave Today
1t is understood that Shean will
leave prison today but this could
not be verified. His plans for the
future are vague but 1t is understood
that he will reside in some Massa-
chusetts city or town and engage in
the outdoor advertising business in
which he was engaged before his ar
rest or. he may go west to start life
anew. Shean is now 10 years of age.
Shortly after he was sent to
Wethersfeld, he was given work
there as a clerk. He attempted to
send letter out of the prison to a
bootlegger asking to be supplied with
liquor. He was then placed in the
shirt factory where he has worked
ever since. This was the only mark
against him while he was a prisoner.
Alcorn Opposed Pardon
He once applied for pardon but
owing to the opposition of States
Attorney Hugh NJ. Alcorn. this re-
quest was not granted. A request that
he be placed on parole was prevented
