fast diminishing and our life journey
is so frightening as to bring us near
to or past the turning point of three
score years, we long for needed rest
and lighter service during the remain

District Attorney Talks of Moon
 sinner Cases.

Several cnntnuances some nol presses and verdict of acquittal was the work done by the United States Court yester- day.
 United States District Attorney War ren & Reese said yesterday that never before in his practice in the Federal Court had he seen the mwillngness that marks the testimony of the witnesses in the moonshine cases.
 Tt has always been hard" he said ito get them to testify to the truth but this term breaks all records"
 The witnesses from the depths of the moonshine districts seem to disregard en- tirely the sanctity of their oaths. Their ignorance. too Is appalling
 And there's no recourse the Dis trict Attorney declared -mphatically. An indictment for perjury Is practically an impossibility under existing conditions. The witnesses won't remember. You ask a question and the reply Is that their memory is not clear but their best recol- lection is so and so. We can't prove what their recollection is and our hands are accordi lgly tied"
 The following cases were disposed of yesterday:

GILES B0BS UP AGAIN
NEGRO APPEALS TO STATE sU-
 PREME COURT.
His Suit Against Registrars of Mont. gomery Submitted to High Tribunal and Asks for Writ
 of Mandamus.

The Supreme Court of Alabama again mas before 1t for consideration legal at tacks on the new Constitution of Ala oama made through an organized effort on the part of negroes of the State.
 The legal fight being made by the me- groes is before the court in the shape of two suits filed against the Board of Reg istrars of Montgomery County by Jack son W. Giles, whose name has been used in all test cases.
 Giless first case submitted to the Court yesterday is suit for 5000 damages against Charles B. Teasley. William A. Gunter. Jr., and E. J. Harris, compris- ing the Board of Registrars of Montgom- cry County. For his failure to secure a registration certificate by which he was debarred from voting in any of the cleo tions Giles asks damages from the mem bers of the Board of Registrars to the amount of 5000.
 In his second bill Giles seeks a man. damus from the Supreme Court to com pei the Montgomery Board of Registrars to issue him registration certificate and place his name upon the list of qualified voters.
 Both suits originated in the City Court of Montgomery. The mandamus proceed ings and the damage suit were both brought in the City Court where both cases were decided against Giles.
 The two suits were submitted to the Supreme Court on briefs and no argu- ments were made. The brief for Giles was prepared by w. H. Smith, the negro lawyer of New York.

WILD GEESE AND WEATHER.
Late Flight Across Connecticut Indi- cates Cold and Long Winter.

Woodmont (Conn.) Letter.
 One of the occurrences in Connecticut has been a visit to Lake Saltonstall. to the thst of New Haven, of a flock of over 100 Canadian wild geese. This flock re- mained on the lake all night, making an ipcessant noise with gabbling and pound- ing the water It had lost Its way in the fog which prevailed. On the following morning, however. if got away early. making fresh start for the South
 The geese flew to the lake. which Is an isolated sheet of water on Tuesday night. Since that time and until the cooler weather which came later in the week. these birds have been flying south over Connecticut in large numbers. On We'd nesday, to the east of Brauford were seen at one time, flying far up in the sky, fockS of both wild geese and wild swans, all of them heading toward the North Carolina coast,
 It is late for the wild geese to be seen here going south, says Charles Hammit. a sportsman and farmer of North Bran ford, who is a wild goose hunter and who has shot three this season. and who watches their fall flights. He says they are making their passage south at least flva weeks later than ever before. All sportsmen agree that it is late for the wild goose to be in Connecticut in large numbers.
 The hunters also say that this late mi grafton indicates that the cold weather, while belated this year, will be following shortly after the geese. and will be here in a week or two. and that the winter will he unusually cold and long. This they say. Is a never failing sign attend ing a belated flight of wild geese
