MOTHERHOOD

ARE TO MEET IN INTER

EVELYN MAY A S S S I.
Now There Is to Be a Mere Friendly
Spirit That All May Work for tho
Acquittal of Young Thaw.
Coming Together.

Drawn to each other by the subtle
instinct of motherhood in distress,
Mrs. VIM. Thaw plans a reconciliation
with Mrs. Charles ]. Holman, mother
of Mrs. Harry K. Thaw, accordiBsAto
statements made to friends by MRS.
Thaw since her arrival in Pittsburg.
The Importance and significance or
such a move on future developments
in the case of Harry X. Thaw, who is
waiting in the Toombs for his second
trial, are great, and friends OF the
prisoner hope for the very best results
from it,
In brief, after Mrs. William Thaw
goes to her summer home, in Creston,
Mrs. Holman WHY be invited to go
there and have friendly talk with
her hostess. There is every reason to
believe that Mrs. Holman will be
valuable adjunct to the forces of the
defense in the next trial of young
Thaw.
Friends of Mrs. Thaw hope for even
more They believe Mrs. Holman can
be induced to take the stand in be-
half of her son-in-law; that informa-
ton of inestimable value may
be secured from her. Mrs. Hol-
mans statement, given out last
Tuesday, is the primary cause for
this sudden change in the situation,
it is said. and awakened response
in Mrs. Thaws breast. Mrs. William
Thaw now realizes that she thought
too harshly of Mrs. Holman.
Now that Mrs. Holman has shown
herself ready TO take her daughter
into her own home and to aid her in
every way possible, the young Mrs.
Thaw may be called to Creston to aid
in the adjustment of the situation.
Mrs. William Thaw's daughter, the,
countess of Yarmouth. will have as
signed to her the delicate task Of
making the first overtures 10 Mrs.
Holman, according to the present
plans.

There used to be told a comical
story about judge who occasionally,
when off the bench, yielded to tempta-
ton and imbibed too freely for his own
good. The tale went on to tell that on
one occasion the worthy man having
dissipated to an extent regarded by
the judge as scandalous, the offender
arraigned himself at the bar, where a
plea Of guilty was entered and the jur-
ist imposed an exemplary fine upon
himself. There seems to have been
a similar working of conscience down
in Mississippi, where grand jury in
dicted every one of its own members
for violating the Sunday law, with the
result that the culprits we're arraigned
in court and were fined $40 apiece.
That grand jury certainly furnished
proof Of sincerity whom 1t gave Up
so readily.

The Bryant Disappearance.

Double disappearance-this may be
the development in the case of Lora
A. Bryant, the State Normal student
who dropped out of sight on Monday
morning of last week. Saturday her
father, George Bryant, of Downing, was
missing.
Mr.. Bryant left Ypsilanti for Battle
Creek Friday afternoon to interview
a mail clerk at Battle Creek relative
to his statement that he sat at the
same table at a restaurant with a girl
of Miss Bryant's description. Not a
word has been heard from Mr.. Bryant
since.
1t is known that Mr.. Bryant was on
the verge of nervous prostration when
he left there for Battle Creek. 1t was
his intention to go on to his home at
Bowling from Battle Creek. Efforts
to communicate with his home today
were futile.

Allen in a compromising position. he

SIDE LIGHTS
ON MICHIGAN
TWO EATON COUNTY FARMERS
NEARLY 70 YEARS OLD
TO BE TRIED.
MURDER OF JOHN BOUTS.
Levi and Charles Tubbs. Father and
Uncle of George Tubbs, to Stand
Trial for Conspiracy to XIII.
History of the Case.

The first criminal case to be tried
In circuit court, Charlotte, will be the
murder charge against Levi and Chas.
Tubbs, father and uncle respectively
OF George Tubbs, now serving a life
sentence for the killing of Contractor
John Bouts in November, 1904.
Both men are nearly 70 years old.
Before the Bouts shooting the fam
lily were rich, but the trial Of the son
made it necessary to put a mortgage
on the farm, which is one Of the finest
in the county.
The prosecution will attempt to
prove that the trio entered into con-
spiracy and that the old men are
equally guilty with the boy who flred
the fatal shot.
The defense will contend that the
old men did not know that George
had a weapon and that the bellef that
shooting was necessary was the pro-
duct Of his own mind.
On the trial of the young man ne
swore that he shot to protect his
aged father, whom Bouts threatened
to strike with an uplifted club. George
bought the revolver in Nashville the
day before the murder, which &C.
Cured on a Sunday morning, and the
prosecution will try to prove that the
weapon was purchased with the I'M
derstanding that it would be used the
next day to prevent Bouts ana MS
men from working on Sunday.
After the shot was fired Powers and
Bigley, Bouts workmen, picked up the
wounded man and lifted him into the
wagon and drove away. He died before
the men reached the road. The de-
| PENDANTS dragged the tools Of the
ditcher out in the road and put back
the rail fence and started for the
| house. where George was arrested a
couple of hours later. The two elder
| Tubbs were taken into custody few
days later, but were afterward released
| on bail.
George win be brought from jack
son to testify for his father and Uncle
| Charles and in all probability tell the
jury that the old gentlemen knew
nothing about the weapon. which he
claims he bought to shoot a trouble
some dog.
| There is considerable local senti-
ment against trying the old men, out
in Kalamo, where the Tubbs farm is
located, the sentiment is against the
old men. it being the general belief
in that section that the father and
the uncle are really more TO blame
than George, who mentally is weak
ling and who has been quiet and
peaceful man all his life.
Uncle Charley" is bachelor and
has a reputation for being quarrel
some, and many lay the present trou
BILE to his aggressiveness. Levi has
more friends than Charley and George
has more sympathizers than both MS
father and uncle combined.
In view Of the wide publicity giver
the case both at the time of the
tragedy and the trial Of the youni
man, considerable trouble Wiz IN
doubtedly be experienced in getting q
jury.

Honey bees are generally credited
with instructive skill in making the
cells Of the comb hexagonal in shape,
but It is probable that this construc-
ton is merely the ordinary result of
mechanical laws. Solitary bees al
ways make circular cells, and the
bees in a hive no doubt make them
circular also, but mechanical press
ure force1 them into hexagonal
form. A well-known naturalist, in
speaking of the matter, sage that all
cylinders made Of soft, pliabis sub
