glass driven into i
brain ; girl lives
Surgeons Perform OiHTatlon That May
Save Fife of the Victim.
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.

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. It was
learned today that H. W. Griffin,
clerk of the supreme court of Utah,

days.
Influential friends In Utah had
Griffin brought Into court at the end
of the 15th day and discharged.
Friends claim Griffin was In San
Frnnclsco, where he was drugged.
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.

The murder was a cold-blooded affair
according to the evidence, Trapp en

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

affairs of tho mill that It has mnde

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

Turkish dependencies unless some
stringent action is taken Immediate

Turkey Will Devlur? War,
London, Oct. S. A member of the
Turkish embassy declared today that
unless Austria retreats from her pres.
cut position Turkey will undoubtedly
declare war.
Crete Joins With Greece.
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.

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.

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."

Several Indictments.
La Grande, Ore., Oct. S. The cir
cuit court for October convened Mon
day morning and the grand Jury is in
session. Its first action was to free
a defendant who had been charged
with beating his wife.
While there is nothing to warrant
the belief exactly it Is rumored about
that the Jury will consider charges of
bootlegging before its s-s.m Is over
With the prestige or tne fenuieion

are Inclined to believe that several

local option violation.
The circuit court has an especially
heavy docket this year. It includes
an equity case in which an estate
valued at (30.000 may revert to the
state. The heirs number six and over
a year ago the father died, leaving
the property evenly divided. All dis
pensation was made by the adminis
