ACCUSED MAN MAKES
 DRAMATIC DEFENSE
j. PERRY GREENE ADDRESSES JURY AND OPENLY , ACCUSES PRESIDENT WEATHERS OF STEALING COMPANY MONEY.

Columbus, Ga, May 2S.-(Special.) )-Af- ter one of the most sensational trials ever held in Columbus the jury in the case of J. Perry Greene, charged with embezzlement tonight brought in Q ver- dict of mot guilty reaching this verdict after one ballot. MT. rGeene, who was formerly of Birmingham, is one of the most prominent young men of the city, and is Mason and a Pythian, and mem bers of those orders and other citizens today testified to his good character.
 The charge of embezzlement was brought by President John F. Weathers of the Columbus Show Case company, for whom Mir. Greene had worked as bookkeeper during 1903, it being alleged that he took $500 of the company's money and then made the books balance by making false entries.
 The defense was extremely sensational. Greene charging that President Weathers himself had been systematically robbing the company, and that he tried to make a scapgoat of the bookekeeper. Greene talked to the jury an hour and a half and made dramatic assertion of his innocence and an equally dramatic accu- sation of President Weathers, who sat a few feet from him. Pointing to MT. Weathers, MT. Greene exclaimed:
 Gentlemen, there Is the giutly man. He stole this money and is trying to shift it off on me. Nobody knows better than John F. Weathers that I never took a cent of money of the Columbus Show Case company He won't look me in the face. That man has tried to rob me of all have-my character"
 Four eloquent addresses were made in the case, the court room being crowded. When the verdict was announced Greene received congratulations from many of those in the court room.

Russia the Under Dog.

From the Metropolitan Magazine.
 On the one hand we have Russia-the most formidable military power in the world-with her huge army of picked young men, case-hardened by their early life; inured to privation; blindly coura- geaus: simple, honest and pious, some what lacking in initiative perhaps, and apt to be at a loss if their officers are killed. yet withal splendid type of sol dier. She is fighting 5000 miles away from her base. and these e9 miles for many months of the year lie across vast waste of snow and Ice, where the tenn perature is mostly below zero.
 On the other hand we have the Japa- nese-nshermen in stormy seas, pirates, mariners, born fighters; active, aggres- sive. full of initiative; bold. resolute and cunning warriors, and fighting practically on their own ground. They have an army known to be one of the best drilled machines in the world, navy superbly manned and absolutely up to date in tor pedo practice.
 Under the circumstances. 1t Is difficult to understand why Japan should chal- lenge our sympathy as the under dog in the fight, It is Russia who is the under dog.

PennsyIvanla Can Well Mourn.

Harrisburg. Pa, May Ex-Governor Pen- nypacker was shocked by the news of Senator Quays death. The governor said:
 He had a divine gift. When a real poet, orator or statesman appears among men, there is no need to have the source of his power explained It is felt. For years men have been trying to ascertain what were the methods by means of which he won his remarkable and con tinuous success in a difficult field. It has been a needless and hopeless task.
 Now that he is gone, the people of Pennsylvania will know what they have lost and what they never quite appre- ciated. No other man in public life born of our people gave such an impression with those whom he was brought In con tact of personal and intellectual power. No other man has been able to accom- plish so much for the substantial bene- it of the commonwealth. Pennsylvania may well mourn.

The Back-Porch SanatorIum.

From Everybody's Magazine for June
 Ninety eight per cent of those who have tuberculosis of the lungs, if they get well at all, will have to do so at home. But not "by the fireside." :" Even in tenement houses people have made good recoveries, but it has been by lying under wide-open window all oay long and all night long, by extra feeding, by resI, and by good cour- age. There are wondrous possibilities on back porches and in sheltered hooks. It isn't the coldness of the air, nor yet the sweltering heat of the sun, that heals. It is the fresh, pure air in comfort. The patient must not be annoyed by cold or heat, but must be dressed so as to be comfortable. Sleep out-of-doors. shielded from the storm, and dress indoors where it >is warm.
