TURIN, Italy, Oct. 19.—Cesare m- broso, ‘the’ world’s foremost criminel- ogist, and allenist, died at his home here today. He*was born in ‘Venice in 1836, . Lombroso’did not take up that branch of acience in which he was the ac- knowledged leader, until 1875. His early studies were in literature, languages and archeology, but he changed his mind and took Pp the study of medicine. Attain- ing doctor’s degree, he became an army, surgeon in 1859, and three years later was appointed professor of dis- eases of the mind at Pavia. ee Founded a New Science. He later took charge of the Asylum for the Insane at Pesaro and soon after Was made professor of medical law at the University. of Turin: He rounded @ science of criminal anthropology in with © appearance of his great béok, “The Criminal.” The Lombroso theory is that there is @ distinct criminal type, the born crim- inal, distinguishable from other men by anatomical eviderices, particularly in pe- culiarities of the skull. Lombroso had collaboratea with the Ttalian historian, Ferrera, in two books. Ferrera married Lombroso's daughter, Among Lombroso’s works are “The Man of Genius,” “The Criminal ana An- | thropological and Medico-Lega)] Study,” “Epileptic Insanity,” “Political Crime beg la i and “The Female Of- ?

This fact was impressed upon the consciousness of even a casual ob- server at the Coliseum -Monday night. It was unmistakably a horse show. The facetious person who avers that an event under that name is merely a gathering of feminine beauty and its beautifier, clothes, must have been con- vinced of his error if he attended the opening of the: St. Leuis Horse Show, for throughout the evening all eyes and opera glasses were focused upon the Beast rather than upon Beauty. But the beast was, beautiful, acted beautifully, was beautifully caparisoned, and that was why the'gaze of the spec- tator was centered upon the horse more than upon the woman. It must be ad- mitted that now’: and then the eye would rove from bex to box or from seat to seat, attracted’ by. some . strik- ing. costume .or handsome woman, but that was incidenta)]..

Mrs. Satterfield had beenan inmate of: the Bethlehem home for sev- eral years. The body was’ found tn the creek by Ben Uniand of 4443 Andersdn avenue and William Clark of 4548 Car- ter avenue. ae a a ne A.D. RYAN'S BURIAL HERE Louisan Died in Delay- an, Wis.

A director of. the ‘Laclede Gas” Light Co. told a’ Post-Dispatch reporter Tues- day that’ Laclede Gas had decided to onter the electric lighting field as a competitor gf the Union Electric Light and Power Co. He declined to say whether the com- pany would reduce the present electric lighting rates, but intimated that the fact that his company is going after this business indicates its belief that it will be abl». to furnish an attractive rate schedule. At a recent meeting of the Laclede company’s board of directors, the pro- posed lighting system was discussed at licngth, but no definite action was taken. One of the plans submitted by an ex- ecutive officer of the company related to the establishment of the block sys- tem for supplying electricity to down- town business houses. In this way, elec- tricity for js block, covering four streets. could be furnished from a plant iccated in one of the large buildings. Mast Buy Private Plants, In order to carry out this scheme; if would be necessary, it was said, to ob- tain control or ownership of electrical plants now. privately owned, which are located in downtown office buildings end manufacturing establishments. If this is found practicable it will save the company.an extensive outlay of cap- ital which would be required for~the construction of négjsupply stations. It is ‘the Laclede company’s’ intention tu establish a large central plant to provide light in residepee™ districts. Has Depended on Union, At present the Laclede company is supplying electrie ight om a limited scale through & company known as the Phoenix: Blectric Qo:, which has de- pended for its etrrent on ‘the Union Electric Light Co. It’ “appears the Phoenix company has a franchise entitling it to all privileges, such as laying conduits and stringing wires, now enjoyed by the Union Elec- tric, and that it is authorized to con- duct a genera) elecric lighting business. It’ was* reported *in““financtal circles Tuesday that, the delay in selecting a president of the Laclede Gas Light Co has been due to the North American interests ean are opposing the elec- rical plans of the gas corpgration.
