PRISON A HELP Has Been a Good Thing for Him Says T. M. Gerbick of Colorado. THE DRUG HABIT Was Broken and He Was Straightened Up Generally—Thrilling Story. (United i’ress Service) Canon city, Colo., Aug. 21 —“Im- I prisonment in the penitentiary has 1 been a -good tiling for me- it lias y straightened me up; it has broken me ( of the terrible drug habit that landed » me here.” After having served three years of a life sent-'uce behind the bars of the Colorado state prison for a crime that ] he now says he never committed, T. • M. Gerbrick, still has this to sny re-1 carding his incarceration- He is seek-j. ing release through the state pardon board and if his application is grant H • n he says lie will devote as much j time as he can from earning a liveli- , hood to aiding in stamping out the | use of drugs in this country. Ger-1 brick says lie will never forget the I three long years in prison. His story is a thrilling one and Colorado prison I officials point to it as an argument i that the state penitentiary not only ■ I punishes but reforms. The crime of which Gerbrick was I convicted was the wrecking of the i Santa F<- train near Fowler, Colo., in ' October, 15)03. Shortly after the i wreck. John Devine, a hobo, friendless j and penniless, was found wandering near the • < -no of the tragedy. He wns arr sted, identified by several i persons as a man seen acting suspics iously jnst before tlie wreck where s ,t occurred. He was tried at LaJunta. t Colo., ami convicted. The whole proceedings wore hurried through in rec- ■ ord time. Within a few weeks after s the wreck Devine began serving a life a termp The man Devine never uttered a ? v. ord after his conviction and sen ' tence. Un never either denied or n admitti'd having wrecked the train.! ii After six years of imprisonment he I r died a felon- This was on November | e 20. loop. \ year later a sailor named Ger-1 r brick, or Gerubrush. ns lie then call- 1 - cd himself, left a training shop at ’ n Portland, Oregon, and while drunk ! and under the influence of cocaine bragged that it was lie who hail wrecked that Santa Fe train seven years before. t "I’m the man who wrecked the ’ Santa Fe train at Fowler. Colo.,” he | said. “I'm the man some other man i ’• is doing time for. I'm the man who >• pulled the spikes from the ties on the ' | night of October 31. 1903. I'm the | •' I man the Colorado officials want.” d Gerbrick had numerous clippings , t from newspapers containing stories e of the wreck and of the arrest and i e conviction of Devine. Despite the 1 . tact that fie was known to be a dope! -1 fiend he was extradited to Colorado, t tried, convicted and sentenced to lit- | | imprisonment. As he says now, it ; i v as the best thing that ever happened i to him, despite the fact, as lie claims, i his sentence was a grave miscarriage | dI of Justice. Steady habits, hard work , i'-1 and the substantial food nt the prisI on have made a new man of him and i s the |>oison and the desire for “snow "i v | have left his system, "I can prove that I'm not the man j t lio wrecked that train," said tier ] II brick today, "if they will only bring] it; a man here from Michigan he will' n I tell the pardon hoard that on the dav | I the wreck occurred I was working for j uini hundreds of miles away from the scene of the wreck. “I do not know »ho Dovine was. I j ne* B r beard of him before Ir* ad his | rj name in the papers. I was drunk and I i : lull of dope when I said I was attain j wrecker- The cheap notoriety the s > story brought me pleased me at the I time and I liked to see the officials listen to me as I potted as a man who wanted to serve a life sentence to dear the tiaim- of a dead lioho. "After the dope began to leave my system and while 1 was dunperately' >1 fighting the craving for it. I realized: I that if I went free then 1 would rc-1 turn to the old life of drug dreams., i I was determined to say nothing until • ! knew, until I felt that I had been ■ cured of the habit. Only God knows ' what the keeping of that resolution has cost me But it has remade, me | ] and now I want to prove my inno- i I ct ncc.'' ————n ; FOR SAI«E Heinz sweet pickle Vinegar, 15c gallon —F.

Jacob Martin 'TIGHT SKIRTS INDIRECT CAUSE OF MANY FIRES Fire losses running into millions of I dollars can be traced. it is said, to ! such a seemingly unrelated cause as changes of style in women's apparel. The connection between skirts and : fires is explained in an address given | recently by Assistant State's Attormw I Frank Johnson, tit Chicago, before the J Chicago Engineering Club. Mr- John < son is in charge ot the Chicago prosecotton of the "Arson Trust.” "For instance, when women began | wearing tight skirts there was a heavy decrease in the number of petticoats i sold,” said Mr. Johnson. : overstocked with these garments, J called in the heads of the ‘Arson | Trust’ and tires were arranged. Thon- not aware of the conditions i thought it was remarkable that so many skirt factories burned, but the I firemen understood. They were not i surprised when, alter aigretes had . displaced willow plumes in women's I favor, there were, large insurance I losses on leathers throughout the | country. \ change in the style of | shirtwaists was tollowed by the d<‘I structioti of numerous shirtwaist lacI tories, which In many instatlees was more than a coincidence. A New Warrant l (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) ■ < iaily recognized as more complev to-' I day. The administration i awaiting! | advise from John Lind, while on the i other hand. Lind is apparently await-! ling for word from Washington, and! Huerta declares that it is this government's next move. Huerta still do-; nies to have submitted any ultimatum to the recognition. ——o—— PASTOR AND WIFE ENTERTAIN. Rev. and Mrs. D. T.
