STATE RESTS.
Much Evidence Adduced to Establish
Sanity of Ala.

Denver, Colo, March 11-Anticipatine
plea of insanity on behalf of Giuseppe
Ala, District Attorney George A. Std
ger has taken the unusual course of at
tempting to establish the defendants
sanity before it had been denied by his
attorney in his trial for the murder
of Father Leo Heinrichs. Four ply
sicians of cknowledged repute as
alienists, testified positively yesterday
that in their opinion Ala is absolutely
sane and in full possession of his men
tai faculties and was so when he shot
the priest in st. Elizabeth's Catholic
church Sunday, February %, after re-
ceiving the sacrament at his hands.
When court reconvened today, three
other experts who have examined the
prisoner were ready to give their testi-
mony to the same effect.
When the district attorney completed
the examination of the alienists, he an
nounced that the case was closed for
the state.
On cross-examination of DIR. George
w. Neuhaus one of the prosecution s
experts, it became evident that the de-
tense is to be "larvel epilepsy" other
wise known as masked epilepsy" a
condition similar to the brain storm"
theory developed in the Thaw case.
Attorney Robert II. Widdicombe, for
the defense, tried to establish by DR..
Neuhaus' testimony that Ala might
have suffered from this form of cpl
lepsy. He demanded to know if with
his two short examinations of Ala,
lasting in all less than four hours, and
with no corroborative information as
to the previous life of the defendant the
doctor could be sure that the prisoner
might not be suffering from ''larvel
epilepsy" DR.. Neuhaus testified posi-
lively that his examination gave no in
dication of such condition. The other
experts of the prosecution were rigidly
cross-examined for information of
''larvel epilepsy" but all denied that
they found any evidence of it in the
prisoner.
Immediately on the conclusion of the
case, Attorney Widdiscombe asked for
an adjournment until o'clock. which
was granted.

SCHOOLS CLOSED.
Chicago Inspectors Are Searching Out
the Dangerous Places.

Chicago, March 11.-Because of
violations OF the Chicago fire ordi-
nances, the two upper floors of the St.
Agnes school were closed summarily
yesterday by order of Acting Building
Commissioner Robert Knight.
Three other buildings out of the
fifty or more inspected during the day
were declared by members of the fire
department to be in condition which
menaced the safety of their occupants.
Two of these werepublic schools which
have been reported as safe by school
officials.
Locked doors, which had to be pried
open with chisels, barred windows, and
inadequate exits were among the con-
ditions found by the investigators.
Except in the case of the st. Agnes
school, however, the persons respon-
sible in each case escaped with moth
ing more serious than a warning.

New Drug, Poslam, Now Obtainable
in Small Quantities

Since its discovery one year ago,
the new drug. poslam, has success
fully cured thousands of chronic cases
OF eczema and other distressing skin
Affections Heretofore poslam has
been dispensed solely for the benefit
or eczema patients in large jars suffi-
Gent for a months treatment This
was found to be an Inconvenience to
many thousands who use 1t for minor
skin troubles. such as pimples, black
heads, herpes, acne, scaiy scalp, COM
piexion blemishes, itching feet, piles
etc., which require but a small
quantity to cure. To overcome this
and in response to urgent appeals
the dispensers of poslam have been
obliged to adopt, in addition to the
regular two-dollar package. a special
hfty-cent size, which in future may
be found on sale at Fred A. Shows
and other leading drug stores in To-
peka, or may be ordered direct from
the Emergency Laboratories No. 80
West 25th Street, New York City. In
all eczema cases poslam stops itching
with first application, and proceeds to
heal Immediately; chronic cases being
cured in two weeks. In less serious
skin troubles, results are seen after
an overnight application

SHUTS OUT DOG SHOW.
Council Committee on Public Building
Raises the Ban.

They can't have the Auditorium for
that dog show again." said the council
committee on public buildings with one
accord when they heard that an appli-
cation would be made for the use of
the building again next year.
1.-THE building was left in awful
shape" said Chairman Tandy of the
committee. The plumbing was dam
aged and the dirt and filth that was
permitted to accumulate was beyond
description. If I have anything to do
with the committee next year I shall be
opposed to renting it for another dog
show. When I asked them to clean 1t
up there seemed to be no one who pos
sessed the authority, had to run from
one person to another. A few more
shows like that and the Auditorium VIII
be unfit for public gatherings. Dog
shows, chicken shows and attractions
of that character should be given in
another kind Of building"
