at the time when old man Hardy was
knocked down and relieved of $12 at his

The defendant took the stand himself
and stated that when Constable Davis
asked him why he had knocked down
Hardy and robbed him, he replied: "Oh,
because was hard up" He said 1t laugh
ingly and as joke, believing that the ques-
ton had been propounded to him in fun
also. His attorneys did not ask him to
state where he was at the time of the al
legged robbery, and this prevented any
cross-examination of that subject on the
part of the district attorney.
The case was partially argued yesterday
afternoon. 1t will 60 to the jury this fore

Detective Auble had sworn to a new COM

fugitive from justice, and had the war
rant ready to serve on the defendant as
soon as he had gained his liberty In the
other court Justice Morrison refused to
dismiss the fresh charge or to discharge
the prisoner, and continued the case for
examination until Monday. Judge Groff,
the attorney for the defendant declined to
state whether he would try to secure his

Literature" by Mrs. E. K. Foster
| The Friday Morning club rooms were
| filled to their utmost capacity at the regu-
lar meeting yesterday. The president. Mrs.
Sartori, announced that the club house
association is ready for further subscrip-
tions to the building fund. Prof. Jordan
will adress the club next Friday morn
ing, and should he accede to the request
sent in by the board, his subject will be
THE Woman of Evolution and the Wom-
an Pessmist''
The club was entertained with several
musical numbers finely executed by Prof.
De Lano's Mandolin and Guitar club, pre-
vious to the literary program.
The paper Of the morning was read by
Mrs. E. X. Foster, entitled English At
titude Toward American Literature" The
paper gave evidence Of very thorough
cleaning in the fields of magazine and re-
view literature concerning English opin-
ions Of American writers and their wor;s
The reader was incited to her quest by a
small English magazine that feel into her
hands recently. The periodical took
Americans to task for olck Of appreciation
Of their best literary talent. Ambrose
Berce. it said, is the peer of Louis Steven
son. and the best short story writer in
America. Captain Crawford was cited
as the most interesting character in Amer
ica- In the last forty years America had
Produced but two books worth reading
The Damnation of Theron Ware" and a
novel by Stanley Waterloo, "a Man and
Woman"
The protest against the severe criticisms
of American writer's by the English began,
said Mrs. Foster, in 1919. with Robert
Walsh of Philadelphia. who had a griev-
ance against the Edinburgh Review for
certain drastic articles against American
writer's. To this protest Jeffrey replied In
caustic terms, and a similar spirit has
been manifested toward writers on this
side of the water ever since. Brander
Matthews and Edmund Gosse are doing
their best to keep 1t alive today
The New England school of writer's was
the advance guard of true American liter
ature, which began with the publication of
the Atlantic Monthly, fifty years ago. The
speaker reviewed English criticism of the
foremost American writer's and said the
only field in which they leave us in un-
disputed possession is fun. They concede
that American writer's excel the English
in wit. They do not admit, however that
America has ever produced poet.
