propriety of a question as to whether
witness had any other motive in I'M

The court denied the question and

shows that Macy had other reasons.

Court adjourned at noon to tomor-

Presentation of states evidence in
the Spencer murder case was com

developed-merely the rehearsal of
the story of the shooting and of the
movements of the prisoner prior to
the tragedy.
Prosecuting Attorney Kimball plac-
ed in evidence the trio of farewell
letters found in Spencer's pockets,
announcing his intention Of killing
the girl he loved and also stating that
whisky had got tile best of him. Some
of the evidence tended to show that
Spencer was drunk on the morning
of the tragedy and did not act in a

aged mother
PLEADS FOR SON

1ne defense of Murderer Ed Spen-
Ger. who shot and killed Ella Mundt,
began this morning. According to
his attorneys opening address, the
drinking of absinthe is responsible
for the crime. His aged mother. half
brother and an uncle were the wit
nesses examined today.
Attorney Frank Graves in his OPEN
ing address pictured Spencer's early
life with a mother deserted by her
second husband and his going out in
to life quiet youth. emphasizing his
affection for his mother and his gen.
eral affectionate disposition.
He told of Spencer's meeting win
Ella Mundt and said that the evil
dence will show that there was no
love. no lust, no jealousy, mo malice
in Spencer's breast-simply compan-
tonship at dances and theaters
Mr.. Graves said he would show en-
tire lack Of motive. Explaining the
cause of Spencer's action the attorney
said Ed Spencer had lost his job at
Davenports on the Wednesday pre-
vious to the tragedy and began to
drink heavily of whisky. Mr.. Graves
read from a medico-legal work con-
corning effect of alcohol on persons
of differing temperament and said
that If Spencer had entertained an
idea of killing Ella he might have
done so on the previous night, when
he met her on Broadway, and had his
reyp1yar with hin,
Mr.. Graves said that the testimony
would show that Spencer had drank
absinthe the previous night; that the
defendant himself would testify that
he had no recollection from that time
until he lay in the Sacred Heart hos
pital of occurrences of Monday, and
had none since then save by way of
horrid nightmares of something ter
rible happening. He had no recollec-
ton of writing letters or telephoning

OUR INSTINCT TO CHEW.
1t Manifests Itself In Numerous and
Curious Ways,

Seeing that the maXillary apparat us
of man has for long ages past been put
| to vigorous use, it is not surprising that
the need to exercise it should express
| itself as powerful instinct This in
stinct manifests itself in many and
curious ways. During the early months
Of life the natural function of feeding
at the breast provides the infants
Jaws. tongue and lips with all the need
full exercise. This bottle feeding fails
to do. and we frequently find bottle fed
children seeking to satisfy the natural
instinct by sucking their thumbs. fin
gers or any convenient object at hand.
The teeth are Il provision for biting
hard foods, but even before they actu-
ally appear we find the child seeking
to exercise his toothless gums on any
hard substance he can lay hold of, and
there can be no doubt that exercise of
this kind tends to facilitate the erup-
ton of the teeth, truth indeed recog-
nized universally, whether by the prim-
tive mother who strings the tooth of
some wild animal round the neck of
her infant or the up to date parent
who provides her child with bejewe-
ed ivory or coral bauble
When the teeth have crlptcd the
masticatory instinct finds among prim-
tive peoples abundant satisfaction in
the chewing Of the coarse, hard foods
which constitute their dietary: but
among us moderns. SubSiSting, as we
do mainly on soft foods, afording but
little exercise for the unsatisfactory ap-
paratus, it does not find its proper OK

OCEAN LINERS IN PORT.
The Work That Is Done by the Crew
That Never Safls

The captains authority over an ocean
liner. and equally of course. his respon-
sibility for her, extend only over the
Practically the responsibility ceases
when she approaches land on either
side, for the pilot assumes charge of
her navigation as soon as he comes
aboard. When the ship arrives at her
pier, or as soon, to be exact as she is
within hailing distance, the captain is
no longer in control. She is then under
the authority of the marine superin-
tendent. who is in command of the
piers and tugs and harbor front equip
ment Of the line and who takes charge
of the docking of all vessels.
To bring giant liner to rest at her
pier is Il delicate operation The flow
Of the tide, The Roadway impaired by
her engines before they stop, the depth
of the water, must all be taken int,
consideration. for the quarters are mar
row. and If she were to ram the pier
it would mean bad smashup. But
with the skill of long experience the
superintendent, by voice and hand con
trolls the great vessel perfectly, and
with tugs Aciping her and cables draw
ng her she @lidcs into her resting place
as quietly and easily as tired child
slips beneath the covers at night.
Practically, from the moment when
the liner is made fast she is turned
over to the crew that never sails Her
officers remain on duty, and their work
is as arduous and almost as incessant
in port as ut sea. But the law requires
that the crew of each vessel shall be
paid off and discharged at the end Of
every voyage. In the case of the liner
they are again signed Immediately, but
during the period While the vessel lies
in port they are not officially connected
with her, and the work which naturally
would fall to their lot is performed by
the port crew.-Earl Mayo in Leslic's
