New York, Oct. 8 r Although the point of a large sliver of glass pierced her skull and entered the brain, It is believed that Dlanche Goldstein, 15' years old, of Brooklyn, will lose nelth-' er life nor reason as the result of an1 operation performed by surgeons at St. Mary's hopsltal. i The rcmarkablo vitality of the child was taken advantage of by the doctors: and a tumor gathering at the base of! the brain wag removed and the wound was closed antlsceptlcally and the! brain covering brought together. The puncture in the skull was small and It will be easily trepanned. The child was playing In front of, her home last Friday when a large pane of glass -.was dislodged from a window on tho third floor of the house. It crashed edgewise on her head, a sharp fragment entering the lop of her head. The girl fell un conscious and cut her chin and face severely on fragments of the glass on the sidewalk. Upon the removal of the gathering on the brain, the little girl who had been semi-unconscious since the accident, brightened up percep tibly and asked that her parents be brought to her. She recognized them at once upon their arrival. The doc tors predict a complete recovery. E T WASHINGTON INSANITY COMMISSION KEPOKTS. Committee Appointed by Governor Mead Find Bad Condition ut Walln Walla penitentiary Ilitlents Kept lu CellH for 22 Hours Each Day No One to Blame SciMiratc Building Is Needed. Seattle, Oct. 8. The state insanity committee, appointed.? by Governor Mend to examine into the conditions or insane criminals and the criminal I Insane confined In the state penjten-1 Mary t Walla" Walla, ha reported that the conditions were extremely bad, and because of Inadequacy, were cruel. Many of tho patients are dagerous and on that account cannot- be grant ed the privileges enjoyed by the con victs. The result Is that they are con fined to their cells for 22 hours each day, with but two hours for open air exercise. This with vitiated physical conditions due to prolonged confine ment, tends to sink the unfortunates Into hopeless dementia. The commission repotted that the conditions demanded a separate building for these patients where un der protective walls for the public safety they could have light employ ment, exercise and some freedom. The conditions as they now exist are pointed out to be a great disgrace to the state though no individual blame can be made. CLERK OF SUPREME COURT IAILF.D FOR DRUNKENNESS. Sacramento, Cal., Oct. S.

The Pendleton woolen mill will not be moved from this city If the bank ers, buslnens men and others who have been seen by this paper today, act upon the sentiments expressed. In order to nscertaln the feeling of local people upon the subject of the woolen mill a half dozen or more promlnentlocal people were Inter viewed nnd almost with a unan imous voice they declared for the re tention of the manufacturing plant that has done so much for the city In tho pnst. Local merchants nre a unit In say ing tho plant should be continued here, tho bankers say the business Is a paying one and sheepmen say it would be well for tho sheep Industry of the ciunty to hnve n woolen mill here. It Is now probable that tho board of managers of tho Commercial nsso clntlon will be called together shortly to talk over the subject and to name a sub-commlttoe to investigate the matter with a view to making a stand In favor of keeping tho mill in the city. cm n HEATED CRUELLY SENTIMENT UNANIMOUS IN FIR OF DETAINING WOOLEN MILLS t Lone Robber With White Mavk Holds Up Roseburg Myrtle Point Stage, SEVEN PASSENGERS RELIEVED OF VALUABLES.

Trapp shot "Slim" Jasperson last August in a saloon at Huntington. Both men were bartenders, and the motive for the shooting has never been disclosed. Trapp's defense was that lie was drugged, and while un der such Influence shot Jasperson.

Home BuriHNl. The residence of Charles Pludell was burned to the ground at I-wls-tcn Monday night. The fire was start ed by the overturning of a lamp by the children, who were playing hide and seek. As matters now stand tho woolen mill plnnt will bo offered for sale next Saturday, October 10, by the sheriff under the foreclosure proceed ings brought by the First National Bank of Hartford, Conn., which holds the big mortgage ngalnst the plant. While It Is the presumption that tho bank, or Its agents, will bid In the plant to protect Itself, yet the general sentiment Is that the mill property may be had nt a low figure. Mill a Money Maker. That the woolen mill can bo made a profitable Industry Is the firm be lief of O. M. Rice, cashier of the First National bank, who In his cnpnclty as a financier, has had much to do with the backing of some of the men who have run the business In the r.n.'t. "I know from familiarity with the affairs of tho mill that It has mnde money," declares Mr. Rice. "I am sitlsfled that with the proper man agement the mill can bo made a suc cess, I believe that the business men nnd other people of this city can af ford to take stock In a company IR CLOUDS IN EUROPE'S SKV Scores Injured in Clash Be tween Servian Mob and Belgrade Police, t BETE HOISTS FLAG OF GREECE ON HIGH.

Belgrade, Servla, Oct. 8. Several scores were injured today in a clash between the police and a mob which was attacking the foreign ministry.. The people became Incensed at the weak character of the note of protest Sent by the ministry to Austria re garding thn recent action of that na tion. The mob threw stones and the police used sabers. In some Instan ces the mob overpowered the police and took their sabers, but the crowd was finally driven back after a hard fight with ttie troops, who answered the first call issued In the trial of Ukase Tuesday. Albania Relsls. Vienna, Oct. 8. Albania today de- dared Its Independence of Turkey, ac cording to a dispatch. This, follow ing a similar action of Crete last night b ads to the belief that there will be a geenral rebellion throughout tho Turkish dependencies unless some stringent action is taken Immediate ly. Albania's population Is 2,000,000 A Young Turk movement has been started in the northern part of Al bania. Thu. uprising there against the sultan will probably prove serious. Turkey Will Devlur?

Canea (Island, of Crete), Oct. 8 A decree announcing the union of Crete with Greece, was published here last evening. Events leading up to the climax followed each other throughout the day with dramatic rapidity. The town was bedecked and early In the morning people began flocking In from all directions. There was much firing of guns and revol vers, with plenty of cheering, but per fect order prevailed. Musalmans mingled with Austrlans freely and un molested. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon the demonstrations in favor of the union with Greece occurred on the military review grounds. More than a hun dred thousand people, one of the larg est crowds ever seen here, gathered at this place. All the prominent revo lutionary leaders, each with his ban ner flying, appeared nnd they were supported by the heads of the dif ferent political parties, the mayors of the towns, the clergy nnd other In fluential men in the councils of the Island. Speeches were made by various rep resentatives, who declared that the peaceful political revolution which they had assembled to consummate was not directed against the powers, which had been the Islands' benefac tors, but solely at proclaiming the Is land's union with the motherland. They called upon the government to formed to purchase the mill. The mill Is a fine thing for the town In many ways and I believe that to keep It going would be doing more good for the city than will be derived from some other things that have been attempted." Slieiieniinn Made Money. Among local people It Is generally known that during the year he oper ated the woolen mill Jacob Sheuer man made a profit of $10,000 out of the plant. An Investigation of this Impression made today, indicates that It Is true. Chariot H. Carter. For many years Attorney C. IT. Car ter has been secretary for the old mill corporation nnd though the old com pany has seemingly failed to make any money out of the business, Mr. Carter Is an enthusiast In favor of keeping the mill going. He says that from his knowledge of the business he believes that n woolen mill can be made to pay In this city. T. C. Taylor. "I believe," said T. O. Taylor, "that if a competent woolen mill man act henceforth in the name of the free kingdom of Greece. They urged the people as a duty to go respectfully and announce their decision to the representatives of the powers, then they must call together an assembly to confirm the people's decision by an official vote. FIGHT TO DIUNK HUM FItOM GUTTER Indiana Tomh Witnesses Wild Scenes When Liquor Is Poured, Into the Street. Chocago, Oct. 8. Gutters of. Ham mond, Ind., ran brimming with liquor yesterday. Derelicts from the city's slums fell over each otlTer In a mad fight to drink from the foaming current. Thousands of other men and women cheered as barrels of beer were pour ed Into the sewers and bottles of wine were cracked and thrown on the city dump. Four thousand dollars' worth of li quor was spilled by the authorities as a wholesome libation to the county option law. The wine and beer had been seized two months ago in a raid on four "blind tigers" near Whiting. The liquor had been kept stored In the basement of the city hall. It was destroyed by order of Judge Uelter. The county option law was passed a few weeks ago by a special legisla ture convened by Governor Hanly at Indianapolis.

With less than 15 minutes of argu ment in all the case of State vs. John Behrenson was submitted to the Jury at 1:30 o'clock this afternoon. But few witnesses were called In the trial. Mrs. Saling, mother of the baby girl, whom Behrenson is alleged to have nssaulted with criminal in tent, told of the discovery of her child In the abandoned house in company with the defendant. Of the fact that the baby was disheveled nnd crying and that after striking the man she rushed out with the baby, calling Mr. Lavender, the marshal at Weston. Lavender testified to the condition of Behrenson's clothing and to the particulars of placing him under ar rest. Behrenson was his own and only witness. He flatly contradicted the evidence given against him In some respects nnd while on the stand seem ed to be greatly worked up over the accusations made. The theory of the defense was that the charges were the result of the l Aiitement of the baby's mother rath er than the result of an attempt at actual crime. The Jury in the case consisted of D. Klmbler, D. C. McCullen, O. Alder, A. V Rugg. H. C. Dunn. C. II. Rosen burg, James Johns, J. A. Isaacs, A. A. Cole, Isaac Jay, S. K. Yates and D F. May. Two riead Guilty.

Pendleton needs a woolen mill and it will be a good thing to look Into the matter thoroughly be fore the plant Is taken away." Sheepmen Arc Interested. That It would be a good thing for the sheepmen of the county was stat ed over the 'phone today by Douglas Beltn, the well known woolgrower. "The woolen mill Is a good thing for everybody in the county," declared Mr. Belts. "I don't know as the mill lulps much to keep the price of wool up," said he, "but In a general way I: is a good thing for the sheepmen. Some sheepmen who nre prepared to do so might be induced to help back the plant."
