JUVENILE LAW IS
 BEING ATTACKED Argument Based on Ira Perry
 man Case HIS AGE IS CONCEDED Boy Under IA Years of Age Is Held In Anniston On the Charge of
 Murdering Negro
 Man.
HIS AGE IS CONCEDED

Anniston September 14.-(Specia5) D. Another hearing was had this morning before Judge Coleman of the city court
 in the case of Ira Perryman, the IA year-old slayer of Phil Crook, in which the state, represented by Judge H. D. McCarty and Solicitor Tunstal, at tackled the constitutionality of the new juvenile law on various and sundry grounds
 One of these was that the act made no provision for trial by a jury and the action provided that no person could be deprived of his liberty until a jury shall have passed upon it. This argument it is said was effective in securing the supreme court of Mich igan to declare unconstitutional a 16- year-old juvenile law in that state.
 Another point for the state was that title for the act is broad enough to cover that provision of the act par ticularly in the matter of establishing a Juvenile court, and because it eX- cepted from the operations of the Juvenile act boys charged with other offences, such as criminal assault, etc.
 The issue being tried this morning was that charges against Ira Perry iiiaH po lidHslefIeu IFom Ine Cflfnlnal to the equity docket. or juvenile court which was proposed by the defense which led to a great legal battle be- tween the attorneys.
 The defense was represented by Col. John B. Knox, Hon. Fred l.. Black mon and Capt. A. P. Agee. The state abandoned it's proposed attack on the evidence before the court last Saturday showing Perryman's age. and instead conceded to be yet under II years of age.
 Judge Coleman anonunced this aft ernoon that he would take the ques- tions under advisement until next Wednesday, when he would announce his decision. The defendant was con- tinued under the care of his parents as since last Saturday.

A well known physician, in speaking Of
the value of fresh air and sunlight for the
insurance of better health, taboos the
greatly mistaken idea that might air. Is
unhealthful He not only ridicules the
idea, but declares that the air we breathe
between sunset and sunrise is really purer
than that which we call DAY air."
In arguing the question. he says: Just
as II the great Creator would poison us
with the air while we slept"
Is 1t not reasonable to believe that the
might air." as it Is called. is far more
healthful than the air we breathe in the
day time? Is must be so, since at night,
the air Is cooler, purer and less vitiated.
If might air" is not healthful, what would
have become of the original inhabitants OF
the earth who had no house and no roof
but the sky, and was 1t not meant that
they should breathe the pure night air
while they slept that their bodies might
be refreshed for the labors of another
day?
And yet, in the face Of all this, there are
really we'll informed people who sleep in
poorly ventilated rooms night after night,
without ever a thought of allowing the
fresh pure air to enter their sleeping
abodes.
II could never think of sleeping in a
room with the damp air blowing on me- a
nervous, irritable woman was heard to say
one night this week "I would choke and
smother to DEATH" and no amount of rea-
sonlng would make her think otherwise.
She could not be made to believe that even
the sultry, damp air we have had to endure
for the past week was far better than
sleeping in a hot, close room.
After all, how little value we put on the
air we breathe. 1t is only when we have
to endure sultry days and nights, such as
we have lived through during the past
week, that we really appreciate the cool,
refreshing air that it was our privilege to
enjoy in the mountains during vacation
time. If we could only feel today that
cool. crisp air blowing in our faces, which
made our blood tingle to our flnger-tips
how we would resolve to obtain the full
benefit of the fresh air in our city homes
But, then, we seldom appreciate the good
things provided for us. We are not often
content with what is within our reach.

girl whom knew only slightly came to
call. Before she left she had me simply
filled with horrible ideas and forebod-

entered my head. Everything looked
blue to her, and she did her best to
make my vision of the same color.
Seating herself by the window she
leaned back comfortably and looked
out. MY goodness!" she exclaimed,

WEDDING DAY NEAR
TITS THAT OF ARTIST JONAS
LIE. OF PLAINFIELD.
Will Marry Miss Charlotte Nissen,
Whom He Began to Court in Nor
ways Mountains Last Year.

| PLAINFIELD, Sept. 5.-The an
nouncement of the approaching wedding
of Jonas Lie, the well-known land
scape artist, of this city, and Miss
Charlotte Nissen, is the culnination
of pretty romance which had its be-
ginning in the Norwegian mountains
during the summer of 1906. 1t is of es-
pecial interest because it will unite two
Norwegian families, which have at
tanned eminence for their artistic talent.
Miss Nissen, who had been visiting
her cousin. DIR. H. Nissen, of Minneap-
oils, since last February, is now SPEND
ing a-few days in Chicago, prior to
coming to Plainfield for her wedding.
DR.. Oscar Nissen, father OF the bride.
Is one of the best known physicians in
Christiana, and Miss Nlssen's mother.
Mrs. Erika Nissen, was a celebrated
pianist. famed throughout Europe. She
died - two years ago. Miss Nissen's
brother, Karl Nissen. has already
reached fame. This year he played in
London before Queen Alexandra. The
other two brothers are engineers. Her
sister, Erika Lie. is the wife of a Sec
ond cousin of Mr.. Lie and they are
now in Paris
Miss Nissen is famed for her natural
beauty and many accomplishments.
Mr.. Lie is probably one of the best
known among the younger artists Of
this country. His uncle Is a famous
Norwegian author, and in point of
number of readers ranks ahead of
Isben and Bjornsen. Mr.. Lie left his
native land at the age of thirteen
years. going to Paris. He remained
there but short time, when be came
to this country.
He has travelled into all parts Of the
world, and his work has gained recog-
milton in many of the most famous
galleries. He constantly receives more
invitations to hang his pictures in gal
leries than he is able to accept Dur
ing the past summer he has camped
out on the mountains back of North
Plainfield. where he has busted himself
withS his work in preparation for the
fall and winter exhibitions.
The exact date for the wedding will
not be fixed until Miss Nissen reaches
Plainfield. Both Miss Nissen and Mr..
Lie are adverse to notoriety and dis
play, and when they became engaged
it. was decided that the wedding should
be as void of pomp as possible
