All About Strange Man.
He Cures and Kills
A long Road to Go.

Man is a strange animal.
David Bernstein; Brooklyn tai
lor, deliberately killed a man
against whom he held no
grudge; pushing him off au ele
vated railroad platform in
Brooklyn. No one saw him. lie
confessed to the poliec.
Iusuue, probably.
The law-niuking machinery
of New York decided to kill
Frank Piaia in the electric
chair. Acute appendicitis
threatened the electric chair
program.
A good surgeon, hired at
public expense, restored Piaia
to the death house. "Out of
kindness,." he is allowed to play
cards with his partner in crime,
Michael Sciafoni, a wall sepa
rating tliem.
Strange uses of science, kill
ing men by electricity, saving
their lives by surgery, that the
electricity may kill them, treat
ing them kindly, while waiting
for the chair.
A eat does no worse with its
mouse.
M
Karth's 1,800,000,0(10 people
are not QUITK 'CIVILIZED
YET.
Further details concerning
the massacre of 3000 Moluim
mcdjais by Chinese in Kansu
province show that the human
nice still has soino distancp to
travel.
Of late Mohammedans had
been murdering Chinese. Thcu
came famine, most desperate,
among the Mohammedans, who
were invited by Chinese offi
cials to come to Taochow for a
conference with promises of
roasted barley.
When they came, men from
15 to fit) were separated from
the women, taken outside the
walls, and "MOO0 of them butch
ered like sheep." AVheu they
saw that they were to be killed
the Mohammedans asked no
nvey.
After the famine the Moham
medans will doubtless murder
10 or 20 Chinese for each Mo
hammedan killed in the massa
cre. So it goes among human be
inifs, most ernel and blood
thirsty of all animals.

who nrrlved In Med ford yesterday
afternoon urged In a brief address
before tho convention, that the bar
association take a definite action
in investigating and putting into
ffeet any needed reforms In the :
judicial system.
That only too often changes or
imaginary reforms arc manipu
lated by outside forces, which suc
ceed only in bringing about com
plications often of a detrimental
character, was the gist of the well
received talk.
Nan if Committee
The suggestion of the supreme
courL justice was put Into the form
of a motion by J. J. Crossley of
Portland, who asked that a special
committee bo appointed to work
with tho exonuttvo committee of
the association, ,in effecting thin
Indefinite action, ...Dean Pound of
.Harvard and Dean W igmorc,
whose well known work on evi
dence lias sot a precedent, will be

tion and commending the able
work accomplished during the
year by President AV. M. "Pike"

tion next year. Tho consensus,
which has, throughout the local

ton, was strengthened by tho cor
dial Invitation given on tho floor
of the convention by . the newly
oleuted vice president, Roy Raley.
That the date of the convention
would fall during the week di
rectly following tho annual Pen

WASHINGTON. Sept. 88. VP)
While a number of the 13 Repub
lican and Democratic senators
from the western states will be re
turned without really serious op
position, thora aro enough con
tests and elements of uncertainty
in the situation to draw tho at
tention and efforts of national
party leaders to the section.
Illinois may provtdo tho most
Interesting contest among the Re
publicans, with Mrs. Ruth Hannu
Mccormick, rcprescntative-at-large
contesting the nomination with
Senator Charles S. Deneen. lieu
tenant Governor Stirling may make
this a three-cornered fight.
Minnesota Is to he the scene nf
a stiff contest between Senator
Thomas D. Schull and Oovernor
Theodore Chrlstlanson.
Tilt lu Iowa.
A lively tilt la likely among
tho Republicans for the senatorial
nomination In Iowa. Governor
.Tohn Ham mill and Representative
U J. Dickinson are candidates and
there has been some talk that Cir
cuit Judgo William S. Kenyon
might enter the race.
Senator Daniel F.'Bteck may bo
renominated by the Democrat
without opposition, but - as Iowa
normally la overwhelmingly Re
publican his friends expect that
he will hnvo a hard fight.
With George W. Norrls, the in
dependent Republican, maintaining
silence as to his plans, there Is an
element or uncertainty In the situ
ation In Nebraska. -
An interesting situation may de
velop In both the primary and
general elections In Colorado, due
to differences within the ranks of
both parties there.
IUtlo Opposition.
Thus far no primary opposition
has developed against Senators
Cousens of Michigan, Capper of
Kansas, Borah ot Idaho, McMaster
of South Dakota, Warren of Wyo.
mlng and McNary of Oregon. How.
over, somo Republicans say that
nn uncontested renomination for
Mc"Nary depends In no small meas
ure upon the protection accorded
the lumber and other Industries of
the northwest in the pending tariff
bill. i ; .
Thomas J. Walsh, of Montana,
noted prosecutor of the oil scan
dals and Sam O. H ration of New
Mexico, the only western Demo
cram besides Stack Up for re-election,
are expected to have lltllo
opposition within their own party
and whether the Republicans will
make a serlouo effort against
them will depend largely upon de
velopments during the next few
months.
