ARGUMENT OF M.GHEE
Colored Attorney Makes Strong State
ment for Defense.

The largest crowd of the trial
struggled and fought for places this
afternoon.
After an eloquent opening, in which
he took occasion to compliment the
court court and nsa, the states counsel upon
case against his client, Mr.. McGhee
began discussion Of his defense. He
dwelt fervently upon Calderone's good
character and dealt POLITICALLY with his
early life in sunny Italy and his love
for his parents. He masterfully re-
viewed the testimony to show that
Battalia was killed by Calderone only
in self-defense.

Furnaces OyerWorked,

During the cold weather the task of
heating from a central plant the twenty
six separate buildings Of the state univer-
sity, scattered over a space four blocks
long by three wide, has been one Of great
difficulty. By working the great fur
naces to their full capacity it has been
possible to keep the temperature of all
the buildings above freezing. It is esti-
mated that the fires have used forty tons
of coal a day. The average is twenty-five.

THE FINAL TESTIMONY

Defense Rests Unexpectedly and State

When the defense rested yesterday
afternoon, 1t was found that no foun-
dation for any rebuttal had been laid.

unable to find a place for Francis
M. Henry, the third man. Many
lawyers deemed it very astute of At

Colder Than Records Show.


Minneapolis and vicinity was prob
ably from two to three degrees colder
on Sunday and yesterday than the Of
fetal figures show. That this condi-
tion was possible was admitted by
Section Observer Outram to-day when
questioned as to the effect Of the heat
of the federal building upon the Their
1nometer. It came about thru a dis
cussion Of the discrepancies between
high-grade thermometers on the
street and the official tube and in
struments belonging to the weather
bureau. The idea was advanced that
the heat Of the federal building would
influence the official thermometer on
the same principle that it would be
affected if held over a stove.
IT guess that idea is pretty near
correct, said the section observer.
'.-The heat of the building would nat
less on windy days than upon still
ones. The exposure of our ther-
rnometers is a difficult proposition. In
summer a street exposure would re-
suit in it's being. affected by radia-
ton and reflection, if not interference.
The weather bureau must necessarily
be located where it is near the post
office, the telegraph and the public.
The ideal exposure is in an open plot
Of grass land, with the INSTRUMENTS
elevated at least six feet above the
sod"
From this statement 1T may be in
ferred that the minimum temperature
of Minneapolis during the cold wave
was SO degrees below on Sunday
morning, instead Of 33 degrees, as Of
f1cially reported. A drop of three de-
grees on all reported temperatures
would follow. 81 -. -. ~
Cold Wave Moves South.
The cold wave which is leaving Min
neapolis in it's wake is going in an
unexpected direction. 1t is travelling
due south and giving Dixie land" a
touch Of atmospheric high life. The
coolest point to-day on the weather
map Is Prince Albert, with So degrees
below, and New Orleans, attic booked
for change, records 80 degrees
above. Low temperatures are report
ed from many southern points. 80 s'
The temperature has been slowly
rising since last night, and still warm
er weather Is expected. There is a
difference Of opinion between the To-
cal director and the Chicago fore
caster. :. The local forecast holds out
the hope of warmer weather, while
Chicago predicts continued cold for
Minneapolis and the state.

Sweet Peas Kill Flies.
from the Newburg Journal.

From the Newburg Journal.
A local druggist has found new agent
for the destruction of flies that for ac-
tivity and effectiveness discounts any
thing. heretofore offered for that purpose.
And not only is it harmless, but it Is a
thing of beauty as well. After selling an
nually thousands of sheets of fly paper of
the sticky and poisoned varieties and a
ton more less, of insect powder, the
new antidote for the pest bids fair to
supersede all previous methods with him
and those of his friends who are in on the
secret
For several days the druggist, who is a
lover of flowers, has had upon his front
cases punches of sweet peas of variety
grown originally in California, and but
recently cultivated in this section of the
country. Each morning after opening up
the store he has found collected around
the base of the vessel containing the peas
quite an accumulation of dead flies.
For the first day or so he regarded the
gathering in the neighborhood of the
flowers, but curiosity prompted him later
to watch the conduct of the few flies left
in the store 1t was observed when the
peas were freshly picked that immedi-
ately after their being placed in the vases
those flies in the vicinity swarmed upon
the petals and proceeded to fasten them
selves there. Shortly afterward they fell
from their positions, dead.
1t is presumed that the odor u the peas
attracted them first and that afterward
they absorbed some poisonous emulation
that the flowers possess and died in con-
sequence. So far as known the peas pos
sess no toxic effect upon the human be-
ing,
