CLAIM WOOD
is A FREAK.
Williams Murder Trial at SOmer-
vile is Now in
Progress.
PRISONER UNDER SPELL.

SOMERNILLE, n. j., May 1.-THE
prosecution in the trial of George
Wood for the murder of George VIII
liams, the grocer, of Watching, rested,
having failed to establish II motive for
the crime, Judge Garrettson refusing
to admit the testimony of Il witness
which was intended TO show that the
murder was committed for the sake of
robbery.
Counsel for the defense in his open
ing address declared that Wood was
insane and that he was possessed of II
familiar" or apparitlon, whom he
knew as Henry Wolff, and appeared to
he his half brother. This Pigment of his
d%lsordered mind. constantly pursued
Wood, rendering his life miserable.
Wood, counsel declared. suffered 1t
strange mental lapse from Jan. 30 to
Feb. 3, two days after the murder. of
which period he retained nc recollec-
ton.
Counsel told of many strange acts
and delusions of Wood, some long be-
fore the time of the murder. but none
stranger than those of the week which
the prisoner atfilms is an absolute
blank to him.
In these a little black man. appar-
emily a very genius of evil, a man
named Mae and one Henry Wolf
figure. All these, the lawyer declared,
are entirely mythical and existed only
as the vagaries of a madman's mind"
On Jan. 30 Wood believes he met
Mae and wolf the latter an old
annoyer. They asked him to go to
Scarsdale. promising to get for him a
loan of $1,000. At II lonely junction
they had beer, and the little black
man came in. Then the others left,
and the little black man took Wood
in charge.
1--WE 10 not deny the case of the pros
ecution. We can neither admit nor de-
ny the facts. The defendant knows
nothing Of what happened between
Jan. 30 and Feb. 3. He is not a crimi-
nal. but n crazy man.
The wife of the prisoner was the first
witness for the defense and told Of
her husband, who. she said. was sub
iect TO spells on recovering from
which he was unable to recall his ac-
tons. He had apparently, she said,
been in one of those spells when he
came home the day of the murder.

STRIKE TO BE CALLED OFF.
Predicted That Trouble Will End
Tomorrow.


CHICAGO, May II. Although no
facts as yet have transpired to fully
warrant the prediction, it is asserted
both by. members of the Employers
association and by the conservative
element in the ranks of the teamsters
that the strike will be called off prob
ably within tw~enty-four hours.
1t is not likely that any definite ac-
ton looking to an adjustment of the
trouble will be taken prior to the meet
ing of the national officers of the
Transfers union which it is expected
will be held here today.
Chief among the causes which lead
to a prediction Of a settlement are the
firm stand taken by Mayor Dunno.
when in conference with President
Shea and officials of the local cam
sters' union he assured them that any
further spread of the strike would GER
tainly make 1t necessary for him to
call for troops.
Warrants were sworn out by Super
intendent. of Compulsory Education
Bodine for the ~ringleaders of the
''strikes'' at the public schools and also
for the parents of many of the pupils
whose children have not returned to
school. The school officials decided to
put down the school strikes" If it
should be necessary to take several
hundred pupils and their parents into
De courts.
Drivers for the musical instrument
house of Lyon Il Healy have struck

liver goods to the boycotted stores.

runner of Future Badness.
That such is the case has been con-
clusively proven by scientific research.
Prof. Unna, the noted European skin
specialist, declares that dandruff is the
b~urrowed-up cuticle of the scalp. caused
by parasites destroying the vitality in
the hair bulb. The hair becomes ~lifeless,
and, in time, falls out. This can be pre-
vented.
Newbro's Herpicide kills this dandruff
germ, and restores the hair to its natural

The bullet was a 1920 soft nose and it

The wounded man was in a terrible

be sent after help. Frantic with pain,

Duluth, Minn.-The annual invasion
OF Duluth by members of the bear
tribe began the other day, and has
been continuous ever since. Ten bears
have been shot in Duluth and one was
captured alive. In addition to these
several bears have been seen, but were
either not molested, or succeeded in
making their escape when pursued.
Guns are kept loaded and conveniently
placed in scores of homes. On one day
four bears were killed and on another
three 1t is believed that several bears
have been shot in the city limits late
ly that have not been reported
Bear steaks may be had in the
butcher shops, though the supply does
not come entirely from animals killed
on the front lawns of $4,000 dwell
ings, but from the country round
about Duluth. The bear invasion this
year has been especially interesting
in Duluth for the reason that the ami
mails are found deeper into the resi-
dence section than usual. In previous
seasons most of the bears were killed
in Lakeside suburb. but they have
become utterly fearless and stroll right
through the residence sections. Many
of the bears that have been seen, and
several that have been killed. were dis
covered near the state normal school
building in this city.
The annual bear hunts in Duluth
usually begin about this time, as was
the case this year, and it is supposed
that the animals wander in to the city
by following up the ravines that lead
from the forest to the head of Lake
Superior, while in search of berries.
Wild berries of several kinds, for
which bears have fondness, grow
in profusion about Duluth. The wild
raspberries and blueberries are gone,
but there is another called by some
mulberries, and by others snake ber-
