| ed his role of a mad man and il
 was supposedly in vain hope of g
 reprieve that he dug out his eyes. Accepts Fate Calmly Three days ago Joyce became calm and accepted his fate. During
 his last hour of life last night, he
 joked with prison guards, ate nu- merous dishes of ice cream and sm oked several cigars. He explained hs action in goug- ing out his eyes by quoting scrip ture:
 If thine eye offendeth thee. pluck 1t out"
 "A fellow in my fix has to try almost everything he can to help himself" he said. Seated in the electric chair and with the straps adjusted, Shepard said to the dozen guards and news paper men who witnessed his Last Mile"
 T want to thank all of you for the way you have treated me. God be with you" As his last act, he kissed crucifix held to his lips py Father Hugh Finnegan, prison chap lain. The current was applied. He was pronounced dead within six min utes.
 Shepard's body was taken to a city mortuary, whede it was un- claimed, as he, had neither friends nor relatives. He formerly lived in Arizona.

and she sustained burns which have left permanent scars. They are not obscure scars within the meaning of the law. he maintained, and they will always cause her embarress- ment, one being between the knee and the ankle on the front part of the leg, and the other on the outside of the foot.
 Attorney Coleman contended that the burden of proof was on the plaintiff and negligence had not been proven. He mentioned that Mrs. Larson continued to accept treatment from Dr. Martin for months after the accident, to which Judge Simpson observed that there was no significance to that feature of the case, because dentist and patient might still be friendly de- spite what had occurred.
 AS to the embarrassment result ing from the scars, Attorney Cole man said vaccination scars show quite plainly on arms exposed when evening gowns are worn and there does not seem to be any particular embarrassment
 Judge Simpson observed before closing the trial, that the facts in dicated that the dentist had been using the bottle of acid and a minute or two afterwards the pa tient, who had not touched the bottle or tray, felt a burning sensa- tion. The impression the attorneys received from the observation by the court was that the time consumed by Dr. Martin in applying the acid to the mouth and stepping from the chair to the cabinet was about the same as was required for the acid to run out of the bottle, spread as Tar as the rim and drip down through the crevice.
 The action went before Judge Simpson late yesterday, Dr. Stephen T. Donnelly testifying first. He de- Scribcd the burns on Mrs. Larson $ left leg and right foot, the first nanl- cd injury being about the size of a silver dollar and the latter about the size of a ten cent piece. He call- ed them third degree burns and said the scares will always be present but the discoloration may not re- main. Mrs. Larson was his patient prior 10 the accident, which occur red Nov. IS. 1929, and he treated her for the burns until February of this year. The last time he saw them was about two months ago.
 Mrs, Larson testified that she was in d reclining position in Dr. Martins chair about 3.3O p. m. on Nov l3 when she felt a burning sensation on her leg and foot. Dr. Martin was treating a wisdom tooth and small wal of acid was on the tray, He turned away from the chair 10 his cabinet and she assum cd that his back was to her when she felt the burns She called his attention to the accident and he i'm modiately wiped off her shoes and stockings and remarked, she said, that he could be accused of negli- gence in court on account of the overturning of the vial.
 He appeared excited, Mrs. Larson testified, and said he should not have left the vial on the tray. H. assured her that the burns would form only a surface gathering. and about fifteen minutes later she left the office and walked to her home. ! Her leg and foot hurt when she WGlked. she said
 Mre, Larson was positive that It would have been impossible for her to have touched the tray and up.

there had been labor trouble con- sequent to a strike month ago.
 They expressd the belief the ex- plosion had been caused by an ac- emulation of gas. but were inves- tigating the manner in which it was set off. They gave considerable cre- dence to reports the gas had been ig- nited when a Mexican youth, em- ployed in the shop. lit a cigarette.
 The first victims rescued were suffering. from bad burns. Some had all their clothes burned off.
 J. Hoffman, painter working on the third floor of the History build- ing, and Carl Kaplan, proprietor of a garment shop on, the same floor, were hurled to the floor. Recovering from the shock. both rushed to safety, but returned to rescue vic. tins whose screams pierced the air.
 Hurled to Sidewalk
 Fire officials said pedestrians as far as four blocks away were hurled to sidewalks. Automobiles parked within a block were bowled over or wrecked.
 Duke Wiedeman, owner of an elec- trical supply store opposite the building, was an eye witness.
 There was absolutely no warn- ing" he said. Suddenly a terrific explosion occurred. I knew there must be nearly a hundred people in the building and realized many of them must be trapped"
 With the fire partly subdued with in an hour, firemen made heroic rescues. Two firemen climbed lad ders to the 11th floor, found a young woman. Sarah Melamed. on the floor in a protected corner. She was brought out, overcome by smoke and bleeding from severe cuts from fly ing glass.

set the vial and there was nobody in the office at the time except Dr. Martin and herself. Her shoes and stockings were spoiled by the acid and she was obliged to expend money for gauge, adhesive tape an1 ointments, besides employing a woman to help her with her house. work for two days. Her mother also helped with the work but she did not pay her for it.
 Cross examined by Attorney Cole man, Mrs. Larson said she had known Dr. Martin for approximate ly 15 years and she was treated py him since the accident, still consid- ering him her dentist. Asked If Miss Inez Campbell was in the of fee when the accident happened. Mrs Larson was positive that Miss Campbell had not come in for fully Is minutes afterwards, having had an appointment to meet her there.
 Although the burns pained her she did not seek medical attention for two or three days, calling on Dr. M. A. Kinsella in the absence of Dr. Donnelly. She recalled that Dr. Martin asked her if she had been attended by a physician, and it happened to be the very day sha had her appointment with pr. Kin sella.
 Attorney Coleman asked her if she recalled that Dr. Martin bathed the burns before she left the office. and she replied that he did not do anything more than to wipe the acid off her shoes and stockings. Court adjourned with Mrs. Larson still under cross- examination.

Vancouver, B. C., was chosen as the 1881 convention city.
 The selection of the convention city for next year provoked more debate on the floor than any one subject previously brought before the convention. The discussion de- veloped on tho advisability of hold ing the meeting in a Canadian city rather than a United States city. Columbus, O., and Salt Lake City, both had bid for the convention. Wet Issue Mentioned During the discussion, it was in- timated by William P. Clarke, of the Flint Glass Workers Union, and Charles P. Howard. president of the Typographical Union, that the absence of prohibition in Canada might have gained support among the delegates for Vancouver. This was vigorously denied by Daniel J.

Mahon said it was union city and that to hold the convention there would help acquaint the Ca nadian northwest with the ideals of the A. F. of L. Tobin said union organizations of the United Statec west coast cities were united in their support of the Vancouver choice. The chief argument used by delegates in opposing the selection of Columbus was that the hotel en- ployes of that city were not union ized

JOE PLUTH TELLS HERALD
OF THE NEW LODGE.

establishment of a modern, up-to-
date camping and fishing lodge in the
heart OF the Arrowhead country Wild
erneSs, involving an expenditure of
between $4,000 and 100000 and of
fer1ng all the luXurieS and convent
ences of a home, was announced today
by j. D. Pluth of the Wilderness Out
htters Inc, of Ely, says the Duluth
Herald
The lodge capable of accommodating
from 200 to $50 persons, is situated
on the southwest shore of Eastwood
lake in the boundary waters of Canada
and the United States. 1t is reported
to be on par with some of the best
lodges located in Glacier National
Park
The entire structure is made of logs,
constructed by expert woodsmen and
retaining their natural appearance.
A spacious lobby gives way to dining
room where $50 persons may be served
at one time. In wing of the same
building are private rooms. Electri-
city, hot and cold running water and
shower baths are offered The lodge
itself is less than five miles from the
Canadian shore.
The lodge will also serve, according
to Mr.. Pluth, as starting point for
canoeists travelling through the 1aby-
rinth of lakes and streams which make
up the dividing waters between this
country and Canada. A score of
smaller cabins, accommodating more
than 100 additional persons, have been
arranged over the lodge site, located
on fringe of virgin Norway pine.
