GETS CLOSE VIEW
Of PLANET MARS
Observatory Director at Flagstaff OBJ
serves Diminishing of Snow Cap
at South Pole-Photo=

BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
BOSTON, June 26-Percival Lowell,
director Of tie observatory at Flag
staff. Ariz., who arrived in Boston
yesterday on a business trip, announced
some of the latest information he had
gathered regarding the planet Mars.
While the relations of the earth with
Mars in their movement about the sun
are such that it is usually the north
pole that is presented during an ap-
position, the case this year is reversed,
and Mr.. Lowell has had an opportunity
to view the south pole of that planet
In doing so he has secured some con-
firmation of what was seen fourteen
years ago. AS with the earth, Pro-
fessor Lowell explains, the snow cap of
the south pole of Mars Is much larger
than that of the north pole and the
melting of this has been seen under
excellent conditions. The cap at first
observation was enormous in extent,
covering an area of more than a hun
dred degrees on the planets surface.
At a second observation this cap had
diminished greatly, and at it's base were
certain appearances that Mr.. Lowell
thought bore out his belief in vegeta-
ton there.
Photographs of the planet have been
taken recently, and Mr.. Lowell has
with him pictures showing two canals.
The planet reaches it's closest proximity
to the earth the middle of next month.
Mr.. Lowell has prepared for this event
by sending an expedition to South
America, where it can be better OBJ

CROWD SEES DELMAS
IN LEGAL TILT

Continued from Page One)
Sanderson said because-well, because
he came into the grand jury room that
day and just babbled and babbled."
Says He BabbIed
what Go you mean by 'babbled'?
Do you mean that his words were I'M
intelligible?" Desmas asked.
mo, 1 just mean he babbled. 1 un-
derstood what he said at that time,
but 1 can't recall any of it now. He
talked up and down, and up and down,
and you couldn't stop him. He was
on the stand at least five minutes.
Some questions were put to him by Mr..
Heney and several members of the
jury"
"What were those questions?"
"I don't remember"
"Do you mean that they babbled
too?" Delmas asked, a shade of sar-
casm in his voice.
NO" said the foreman, controlling
an evident inclination to answer
sharply, they have always spoken in
telligently,t to me. But do not remem-
ber what questions they asked that
day
Here Heney interjected suggestion
to Oliver, and Delmas intimated in re-
sentiment that the assistant district at
torney was offering to put words in
the witness mouth. Heney jumped up
to his feet.
"Do you think" he demanded of Del
mas, knowing him as long as have,
that any man could put words into this
Pgentleman's mouth?"
IT don't know" said Delmas. II
certainly could not, but you who are
so powerful might"
Proceed with the witness" sternly
ordered Judge Lawlor.
Foreman oliver will resume the stand
again tomorrow morning, after the
court has heard further authorities
from the state in opposition to the con-
tention Of the defense that the present
grand jury is an illegal body because
it overlived it's lawful term, and that
hence all of the later indictments by II
returned are void.

While Santa Fe officials claim the
site chosen is the most practicable,
many allege that F. ]. Abbott, owner
of the terminal townsite, is back of the
scheme, and it is considered great
victory for the promoter.
Material is now en- route for a big
concrete depot and large warehouses
to be built Immediately 1t has been
announced that as soon as the depot
site was settled great building opera
tions would start, and a two-story
hotel and other buildings are to be
