The lad still had his mother's basket of blueberries. Two nights Pasquelino prayed and criéd himself to sleep, only to start out at sunrise next morning on what seemed to him a forlorn hope--to again see his mother and daddy. Tonight he is tucked safely under the sheets at the family home. The bush in which the boy was fost is mostly second growth and slash and is a veritable blueberry paradise. The youngster's face was swollen from crying, while his feet, arms and head had been badly bitten by black files when he was found, The Galardo family, father, 'mother, and children started out in their suto at daybreak Sunday morning and an hour later reached a spot where they started to pick blueber- ries. The mother sent Pasquelino with a full basket of berriés to place in the car at the roadside, a half- mile away. He drifted onto a wrong trail and became lost He walked * and walked, and yelled until he was hoarse, and then cried. He came a small clearing, he said, and a while to see if anybody turn up.

One of General Booth's latest and dearest objects was the foundation ot a home--"the University of Hu- manity," as he ealled it -- which would give a far more - complete training and equipment to Salvation Army officers than the Army's re- sources then permitted. The train- ing in sociology was indeed to be of the widest and the most comprehen- sive possible. The scheme now in progress, which carries out at least the greater part of his object, will, it is calculated, gost approximately 250,000 pounds. This sum includes i the cost of the gite, the erection of homes for 500 students, with lec- ture halls, classrooms, and appur- tenances, and a funded sum to meet the cost of keeping the buildings in a state of good 'repair, bp -------- FOUR PERSONS KILLED WHEN TRAIN HIT AUTO Level Crossing ing Disaster Near Port Hope 'on Wednes= day. - -- Port Hope, July 31.--Four lives were Jost and three persons were in- jured when a fast ~bound freight struck an auto © the C.N.R. tracks those injured.

CANNOT FIGHT CUPID Case Tn Quebec Court Was Ad- journed For a Week To Al- low- For Nuptials. Quebec, July 31.--That justice is sometimes tempered with mercy was demonstrated in the local courts this morning when a defendant who ap- peared to answer to a charge of manslaughter was allowed to post- pone his case until next week in order that he might be. married. Judge Choquette realizing the futil- ity of trying to pit the law against the wiles of Cupid, grantéd the re- quest wiliingly when it was profer- red by the attorney for the accused. The defendant, whose trial had al- ready started, left the court with the knowledge that the law is mot vin- dictive but is always willing to ex- tend mercy in deserving cases. The defendant in the case, and the prospective benedict, is Lionel Pou- liot, of this district, who was charged with manslaughter in connection with the death of a boy named La Roche, of St. Louis de Courville, who was struck down by the car which the defendant was driving. Two witnesses were heard when the case was opened in the Court of Sessions this morning. There. were Mrs. Ulric Latouche, aunt of the vie- tim of the accident, and Miss Mar- {lda Latouche, his cousin. Both gave their versions of the accident. Following the hearing of those witnesses the attorney for the ac- cused askéd for one week's adjourn- ment in order that the accused might get married, After considera- tion the court willingly accorded the desired: extension of time, ES SH MADE IN ere ---- & i No Reason to Siatoie With the Death Sentence of Renfrew Man, Boston, July 31.--Governor Cox to-day denied a request for an eleventh hour respite in the sen- tence of death imposed om Cyrille Vandenhecke for the killing of Gisl- Jain Schureman, in Lawrence, six years ago. He sald there were no circumstances that seemed to war- rant interference with the finding of the jury and the sentence of the court. + Vandenhecke was arrested at Ren- frew, Ont. where he had gone, after fleeing to Belgium. He had married a woman in Montreal, while his wife was still living at Lawrence. It' was a quarrel over his relations with Schureman's wife that led to the murder. The condemned man had addressed to the governor a letier asking for respite that he might have further opportunity to prove his innocence, which he has pro- tested. John P. Kane, his counsel asked the 'Fovernor ia person that the appeal be granted, in a confer- ence to-day; at which he sald that although there was no new evidence now at hand, he hoped to uncover sme that would support Vanden- hecke's contention. . The governor, in announcing his refusal to grant the request, said: "To the case of Cyrille Vandenhecke 1 have given most serious considera- tion. I have examined ail the court proceedings, including the appeal to the Supreme Court. I have read ma- terial parts of the evidemce care- fully, have read the statements re- cently made by tiie condemned man to the committee of the parole board, as well as various communi- cations which I have .received.

A LIVELY ARGUMENT hig Caverly State He Webel 0 Know iii, Cir- Chicago, July 31.--The state closed and the defence started testi mony yesterday in the hearing which is to determine the punishment of Nathan Leopold, Jr, and Richard Loeb for the kidnapping and murder of Robert Franks. Frank A. Sheer was the last wit. ness for the state, He testified mere- ly that he took Loeb's confession the night of May 30th. The defence called as its first wit- ness Dr. William Alanson White, superintendent of St. Elizabeth's Hospital, Washington, D.C. Judge Caverly overruled an ob- jection by States' Attorney Robert E. Crowe, to testimony by any defence alienists, "It your Honor gave these defen- dants a term of years satisfactory to them and their attorneys," argued Mr. Crowe, "I ¢cguld not appeal and they would not. I insist if this ques- tion of insanity !s raised, it is your Honor's duty to impanel a jury and determine that fact." Judge Caverly shook his head and eaid "Overruled," but Mr. Crowe continued on the argument on the gal point he had raised. At one point when the argument waxed warm, State's Altorney Crowe heatedly remarked to the court: "If you hear this evidence as to {usanity and you sentence these men to life imprisonment and Mr. Dare row takes the case to the Supreme Court, I'l confess error." As Mr. Darrow broke Jin with: "No, mo, there'd be nothing--" Judge Caverly interjected: & "I do not care what you gontien 7 men do when I get through." "Oh, that's ridiculous," the court Fematked with y when query: "If a man comes puts on a witness who man is insane,' must I call 8 jury?" During the argument Judge Cav erly declared that the defence could not be permitted to go into evidence of ineanity "and intimated that he would favor hearing evidence as to the state of mind or in mitigation. The argument reached the stage where it was a squabble with five or six attorneys, and the court ail talking at once and the offical stenographers in despair, After the argument had lasted ninety minutes and got back to the state's accusation that the defence 'was trying to plead both sane and insane at the same time, Faller Bachrach suggested that "an hour and 4 heif had been wasted." No," sald Judge Caverly, "it has not been wasted. The court will take a day and a half on this if veces sary." Hé repeated that he was not go- ing to admit any testimony at this hearing to show the dafendants in sane, but that he would certainly wish to know just what mitigating circumstances might have had an ef- fect on their actions, w U. 8.
