PROVEN NOT GUILTY OF THEFT
Accused Thief of Ice Cream at WASH
burn Is Discharged.

At a session of court held at Wash
burn college last night the first case
on the docket was that of the Junior
class VS.. p. Synder, H Phillips. W.
Green and S. Presley The charge of
burglary in the first degree and burg
larry in the second was entered.
The defendants pied not guilty to the
charge of stealing ice cream from the
home of J. E Jngharn, 1901 Bodwell av-
enue, where the Junior class held a.
party April z.
From the moment the bailin opened
the court until the jury returned the
regular court was infinitely followed.
Hon. John Doster, assistant attorney
general, was judge Of the court. Much
difficulty in securing an impartial and
intelligent jury was encountered but
finally the following were impanelled:
Prof. o. B. Towne, James Mcclure, O.
Miller, I. Plat, @. Daniels, L. Pulliam,
G. Stevenson, r. Doane, b Burns, n
Lands, D. Fink and r. Schnacke.
Mr.. Bolinger, Mr.. Leach and Mr.. ST.
mon were the principal attorneys for
the prosecution while Mr.. Graham,
Mr. Maxwell and Mr.. Vernon We're the
leading lawyers for the defense.
Upon motion of the defending at
torneys. Sumner Presley was given a
separate trial and his was the first
case Indicated.
Attorneys for the prosecution opened
their case by calling to the witness box
Miss Ingham, who was followed by 9TH
er members of the Junior class. Thirty
witnesses were subpoenaed but for rea-
son of lack of time only some II were
called.
The discriminating evidence presented
BY witnesses for the prosecution was
shaken and shown questionable by the
attorneys for the defense. The testi-
mony for the defendant consisted of
that given by members of the Sopho-
more class and an alibi was successful
" maintained Their testimony was
more clean cut, material and straight
to the point.
After receiving instructions from the
court to return verdict of not burglary
of the first degree on first count, the
Jury adjourned. They returned the YER
dict of not guilty after balloting four
times The clerk of the court, Ray
Coldren, filed the verdict and the judge
then adjourned the court until the next
session.

Matter of pitch.

of the concert pitch, which is the
present pitch of most American
bands. is complained of Ky many Of

proclaimed not a single band will be
able to come to the fair ana play in
its state building if this ruling is made
to apply to every part Of the world s
fair grounds. OF course, we couldn I
tell the difference between an inter
national pitch and a concert pitch to
save our lives, but we want everything
to be just right at this, the first
worlds fair we ever gave. and we are
particularly anxious that the musical

A Spring Vacation.

The expense as well as the impossi-
biHty of leaving ones business or
home affairs makes it entirely out Of
the question for many people to take
a spring vacation, however badly they
may need it.
In all cases where one can afford it,
a vacation is certainly preferable to a
tonic.
But for the tens of thousands who
can take no rest, the brain and nerve
tonic of modern medical science is an
indispensable safeguard
The usual symptoms which foreten
a nervous breakdown are general las
situde. dull. heavy sensations, irreg-
ular appetite, loss of sleep and a lack
of interest in every day affairs
Nothing that is known to the med
ical profession today is equal to Pc
runa in the cure and prevention Of
these arrangements.
Peruna gives new vigor to the tired
brain, strength and quiet to the weak
ened nerves, and as nearly supplies
the benefits of a vacation to the over
worked man and tired woman as it is
possible for any remedy to do it.
Peruna is a reliable specific for
nervous prostration, nerve exhaustion
and sleeplessness.
Its past history in such cases proves
that it is perfectly adapted to their
varied pecularities.

FOREIGN CROPS.
Conditions As Reported at Washing
ton Generally Are Favorable.

Washington, May 1.-THE foreign
crop report of the department of agri-
culture gives the following resume of
conditions in various parts of the
world:
Russia-Several reports agree that
the season is two or three weeks later
than usual Odessa and Rostof-On-
Don report that many grain fields had
to be plOwed and resolved. The tenor
Of many reports regarding the general
crop situation in Russia has been de-
clQedly unfaVOrable but more hopeful
views are held in some commercial
quarters. The military demands on
the railroad have contributed largely
to holding back the crop supplies.
Germany-The three principal cereals
are all rated materially higher than a
year ago, the difference being espe-
cially marked in the case of wheat and
rye. The sowing of the spring crops is
backward in many localities, owing to
wet cold weather.
Austria-The fall sown crops in most
provinces wintered Well and with
rare exceptions their condition affords
ground for the best hopes.
Hungary-The official reports are
generally favorable. The least salts
factory were from Pennsylvania, where
the outlook is rather poor because of
lack of snow cover during the winter
and spring. The spring crops were
mostly satisfactory.
Roumania-Crop reports are general
~ favorable.
Bulgaria-The latest reports are
favorable as to the spring crops and
winter crops generally are doing well.
TuyKey-The latest available reports
indicate that the grain crops in east
ern Turkey were not injured by the
cold wave there and in the Smyrna
portion of Asiatic Turkey crops are in
good condition.
Italy-Reports are favorable and
crops growing rapidly
Spain-Crops generally satisfactory.
France-Cereal crops are said to be
progressing as we'll as could be desired
the only complaint being in regard to
the rodents and weeds. The situation
appears highly satisfactory. Fruit
prospects are good.
Belgium-Fall sown crops are gen
orally satisfactory.
