strength is no longer unchallenged;
that the aeroplane is not toy, but
a possible instrument of warfare,
which must be taken into account by
soldiers and statesmen, and that it
was the one thing needed to wake up
the English people to the Importance
of the science of aviation.
According to the statement made
to one of the newspaper correspond
ents, B1eriot has practically decided
to abandon aviation in the near flu
ture. He said: Il have five children
and I have promised my wife that
my coming attempt at the Rheims
races shall be my last fight.
Replying to question as to
whether it would have been possible
to cross the Channel in bi-plane,
Bleriot said emphatically that it
would not, because the increased sur
face OF the planes could never have
withstood such wind as he expert
enced.

Kansas City, Mo-Six lives we're

and some fifty were injured in the
wrecking of a Wabash passenger

Suit For Alleged kissing.

Mrs. Joseph Rosenberg, wife of
business man of Paterson, is disap-
pointed owing to the fact that she
has lost her suit Of $500 damage
against Frank Applebaum, a drug
gist, whom she said had forcibly
kissed her. She is a good looking
and demure little woman of twenty
two, and in the District Court as she
told her story of the kissing she
wept. She said that when she called
at Applebaum's drug store for medi-
cine the druggist asked her to step
into the prescription room, and there
he seized her roughly and kissed her
on the cheeks several times. Apple
baum denied he had kissed or tried
to kiss Mrs. Rosenberg, and Mrs.
Belle Blosky's testimony turned the
tide in his favor. She said she was
in the drug store about the time Of
the alleged kissing, and talked with
Mrs. Rosenberg, but the latter made
no complaint to her and left appar-

verified the theory of Professor Met

1t will be recalled that Professor
Metchnikoff declared it to be his con-

large intestine was the breeding place
of the majority of harmful germs in
the human body, and that when this
intestine was removed the majority
of germs remaining in the body were
beneficial, with the result that life
was prolonged. DR.. Distaso.s investi-
cations were directed to comparing
the germs found in normal individ-
uals and in those whose large intes-
tine had been removed by operation.
He so satisfied himself by his studies

BOY WHO SHOT WEE GIRL TELLS OF DEED
Know What Made Me Kill Frances Says Joc
Kane, Aged Eleven.

Burlington, N. declaring that
he deliberately shot three-year-old
Frances Lord, but unable to explain
what impulse forced him to the act,
eleven-year-old "Joe" Kane, held for
the Staying of the little girl last Sat-
urday evening, made a complete con-
fession to Assistant County Prosecu-
tor Robert Atkinson and Policeman
Claude Sell, of Burlington, at the City
Hall Jail.
II knew 1t would kill Frances and
I know they hang people for doing
things like that, said the youthful
prisoner Then recovering some of
the braggadocio he displayed when
arrested, Kane said he had been in
spired to play "robber" by moving
picture shows which he had wit
messed.
"All the boys play robber." con-
tinued Joe. Sometimes we use
sticks for swords and hold up all
the kids that come along, but it's
more fun to use a gun, because you
can scare all the kids with that.
I'VE often used the old gun when
we were having fun playing high
wayman. I came near shooting
II L
the trigger and the gun went off Just
over his head We used to swipe
caps and shoot them off on the gun
when there weren't any other loads
in it, as there was this last time
when l shot Frances. My brother
had loaded it to shoot blackbirds
last week. Sometimes I'd chase the
whole gang out of the yard, telling
them I'd shoot them. Once l got q
pistol and made fellow run like
sixty.
But 1 never had fight with
Frances. She was just a little girl,
said the boy, in tears for the first
time during the interview, and he
added remorsefully. IT don't know
why I did it.
when Frances ran up to see what
we were doing I said, I'm going to
shoot you'll! She says, Please don't
shoot mel and put her hands over
her face and peered through her fin
gers. She started to run and / shot
the gun at her. The old gun kicked
so hard it nearly knocked me over.
My mother and father told neigh
bors it was an accident, so l just
said it was an accident and blamed
1t on Tommy Ocas. knew 1t wasn't
right to kill her. l didn't mean to
shoot her, and don't know why
did We were having such good
time playing robber!"
"Ever go to Sunday school, Joe?"
asked the prosecutor.
Nope, but I'd like to go. Never
got any good clothes to wear. / amt
a bad boy. though. Folks say I'm
bad when I'm just having fun"
Kane had an opportunity to tell
his story again before coroner's
Jury.
Local officials who listened to the
boys story believe he suffered sud
den attack of insanity, and assert
that his case is a study for alienists
rather than jury.
The boy prisoner seemed to enjoy
his experience on the trolley trip to
the county seat with Patrolman
Claude Sell. II wonder if they'll
hang me for this" he asked the po-
liceman. When assured that hang
ing was no longer in force in New
Jersey the boy seemed easier in his
mind.

II wish I was out in those woods y
he exclaimed as the car passed a
shady grove. That's a bully place
to play robber.''
s'Playin' robber'' seems to be the
boys chief joy in life. He was
'tplayin' robber" when he killed
Frances Lord
"Joe's" eyes bulged and he wept a
little when the policeman led him UP
the steps of the old county jail, but
A.e recovered quickly and chatted
with the turnkey and Sheriff Wor-
rell before he was assigned to a cell.
What to do with "Joe" is becom-
ing more of puzzle to the authori-
ties every day. He is too young to
be put on trial for manslaughter,
and local officials wish that he might
be turned over to some home So
ciety," and saved from the reform
school
Testimony of Mrs. Lord at the in
quest that she saw her daughter
shot, and of cleven-year-old Thomas
Ocas, boy companion of Kane's that
the latter deliberately shot Frances
after threatening her life, destroyed
the theory that the shooting was an
accident
He said. Me shoot you; me shoot
you, Frances" She cry, and then he
shoot her." the Ocas boy testified in
broken English, when Prosecutor At
kinson asked him to describe the
tragedy. Kane at first charged Ocas
with the shooting. but afterward con-
fessed that he did it himself.
Smiling and crying alternately as
he answered the prosecutors ques-
tions, the Kane boy was by far the
most interesting witness at the in
quest. Rather small for his age,
with his round face plentifully free

ly normal boy, and murmur of pity
ran through the room as he was
called to the witness stand.
The prosecutor asked him If he
knew what would become of him if
ne told an untruth.
eyes, you'd send me to the reform
school," answered the boy
s'But If you died, what would be-
come of you then. Joe?'
I'D go to the bad man"
The little prisoner then rehearsed
the events leading up to and sur
rounding the tragedy, which were
substantially the same as he had
given in part in earlier confessions.
He again changed the story to deny
that he shot the girl deliberately.
Tommy had the gun and / took
it away from him; Frances came
around the corner. lookout, I'm
going to shoot YOU said. She be-
gan to cry and then the gun went
off," the witness testified 81 had
my hand on the trigger he contin-
ued, "but I just pressed it little.
I didn't mean to kill her. We were
good friends and played together"
For nearly an hour and half the
jury deliberated before returning a
verdict which was the mildest form
under which the boy could be held.
Mrs. Kane, Joe's mother, broke
into tears as the assistant prosecutor
read the verdict, and tainted when
Coroner Bisbing remanded him to
Jail to await the action of the coun-
ty authorities.
Joe gravely shook hands with sew
eral boy friends, who said they were
sorry for him and hoped he would
get out soon. But he didn't cry.

TO Be Executed when Sane.

Only continued insanity will save
the life of Archibald Heron, the
Middlesex County man sentenced to
death for killing the Rev. Samuel
Prickett. The Supreme Court at
Trenton decided that he cannot be
removed from State prison, as there
is no statute in this State permitting
it, despite the fact that he has been
legally declared insane He must
stay in the custoday of the. principal
keeper of the State prison and be
executed should he become sane.
The Rev. s. B. D. Prickett, re-
tired Methodist minister and editor,
sixty-eight years old, was shot on
July Is, 1908, in Metuchen, by Her
ron, because two years before the
minister, when Recorder of Me-
tuchen, had sentenced Heron to ten
days in Jail on charge of disorderly
conduct. Heron had been brought
before him several times on various
charges, once for failure to support
his wife.
