Kelly Down and Out in
Round Seven, Seconds
Give Up Fight

New Orleans, Feb. 4-Abe Attell
of California found no difficulty in re-
tanning the featherweight champion
ship when he met Eddie Kelly of New
York In a scheduled ten-round bout
before the Southern Athletic club here
tonight. Kelly's seconds threw up the
sponge in the seventh round
Kelly stood up with his opponent
with fairly well divided honors until
the sixth round when Attell made his
attacks more vigorous and landed a
number of lefts TO both face and body
and gave Kelly plainly the worst
OF it,
When Kelly came up for the sew
enth round, Attell sent him to the
floor four times In quick succession
and his seconds, seeing that he could
not last longer, gave up the fight.

Jurors Summoned from Out
side Villages

MUSKOGEE, Okla, Jan. 25.-With
a view to obtaining a grand jury free
from local environments, in order to
relieve possible embarrassment, the
federal authorities have called men,
with two exceptions, from outside OF
Muskogee to investigate the charges OF
conspiracy and fraud in connection
with the holding of. Muskogee town
lots.
It was discovered today that the va
rious lists of names of dummies
claiming alleged possessory rights tC
town lots are missing from the records
of the townsite commission which had
charge of the appraisement, appor-
tionment and scheduling of the lots.
This commission completed its work
six years ago. It was composed Of
Dwight f. Tuttle. of Connecticut and
John @. Adams and G. f. Marshall
both of Muskogee. The government at
torneys say the disappearance of these
lists has little or no effect on the sit
uation.
The sessions of the grand jury will
be held in the federal Jail with secret
service men on guard as a precaution-
airy measure.

HAVANA, Jan. 25.-On this, the
eleventh anniversary of the arrival of
the old battleship Maine on her mission

TESTIMONY ENDS IN BLANDY
VS.. GLEASON CASE
WITNESSES FOR PROSECUTION
AID DEFENSE
Defendant Testifies and DispeIs Lin
gering Doubts Of Commission
as to Her Status in
Charges

At the end of the ninth session of the
CIVIL service commission, and after
more than thirty-five hours had been
consumed in hearing testimony, the
library case of Blandy versus Gleason
was concluded. The commission took
the case under advisement and expects
to render a decision within a week.
Miss Gleason's friends were predict
ing last night she will be acquitted OF
the charges brought against her.
Attorneys Goudge, who represents
Miss Gleason, did not offer any argu-
ment He submitted his case OF his
evidence, and he had put only four wit
nesses' on the stand. His case practic-
ally was made for him by the witnesses
the prosecution introduced.
Attorney G. D. MunsOn, who repre-
sented Miss Blandy, made a short ar
gument, but his talk clearly indicated
the charges had been brought against
Miss Gleason only because the civil ser
vice commission has no jurisdiction
over the board Of library directors or
the librarian. In his argument he ar
raigned the library board and the libra
rian because, as he declared, they hal
made Miss Blandy superintendent OF
branch libraries and then shorn her of
power. He asked that the commission
find some way Of forcing the library
board and the librarian to let Miss
D1dI1Oy dlOu0 dIiU 10 permit n6T TO QC
her work in her own way.
Towards the end of his argument,
remembering that the charges were
really brought against Miss Gleason,
Attorney Munson attempted to connect
her with the charges be made against
her superior officers by declaring she
was an agent of Librarian Iumn1is and
in carrying out his orders which had
hindered Miss Blandy's work. she was
equally culpable with the librarian He
said he did not want anyone dismissed
or even punished, but he did want Miss
Blandy let alone
Defendant Aids Herself
Miss Gleason was put on the stand in
her own defense during the evening and
made satisfactory witness. She was
straightforward in her answers to
questions and not equivocaI or evasive
She told about the little incidents that
have been brought against her as evil
dence in the support Of the charges an5
readily dispelled the lingering doubts in
the minds of the commission.
Through it all she was the same
calm, cool, collected young woman of
large affairs that she has shown her
self during the entire trial One Of the
commissioners had declared that If
Miss Gleason held malice towards Miss
Blandy, as was stated in the charges,
she would show it on the witness stand
If Miss Gleason holds any malice she
certainly cid not display anything of

tBy Associated Press. /

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The impor-
tance of the preservation Of the home
was the central theme of discussion at
the conference on the care of dependent
children which was opened by Presi-
dent Roosevelt at the White House late
today.
The subject under consideration was
Should the Breaking of a Home be
Allowed for Reasons of Poverty or for
Reasons of Inefficiency or Immorality?'
1t was the unanimous opinion of an
array of notable charity workers that
children can best be removed from the
family circle only when proper super
vision at home has become impossible.
II also was the consensus of opinion
that where poverty exists in the home
state aid should be given.
President Roosevelt, previous to call
ing the gathering to order, received the
delegates in the east room.
After outlining the scope of the work
before the conference the president
called Homer Folks, president of the
state probation commission of New
York to the chair and spoke in part as
follows:
Presidents Address
There can be no more important
subject from the standpoint of the ma
with, because when you take care of
the children you are taking care OF
the nation of tomorrow, and it is in
cumbent upon every one of us to do all
in his power to provide for the inter
ests of those children whom cruel mis-
fortune has handicapped at the very
outset of their lives.
II earnestly hope that the members
of this conference will take a progress
sive stand, so as to establish a goal
toward which the whole country can
work. In other words, earnestly hope
each of you will consider not only the
interests OF his own immediate local
ity, but the interests of the nation as
a whole.
There are, of course, several differ
ent types of conditions which you are
trying to meet. 1 believe we, all of us,
have come to the conclusion that where
possible the thing to be done for the
child is to provide a home for it, and
that where that is not possible we
should make the conditions as nearly
as possible like those which the child
would have in a home.

Iowa Oats Special.

Professor Holden's first oats special
proved a gratifying success. OF course
it is easier now. When Professor Hol-
den announced that he had something
of interest and of great value for the
farmers of Iowa, and when he proposed
to instruct them at the work OF growing
corn many held aloof. They looked up
on the whole thing as a huge joke.
professor, mere man Of book to tell
them something about growing corn.
The idea was ridiculous and presumptu-
Gus. They had grown corn from child
hood, even as their fathers had grown
corn before them, and no professor
could tell them anything about corn.
And vet Professor Holden came and did
show them many things about corn of
which they had never had the remotest
idea In the main, however, what he
told them was so simple that they I'm
derstood it all, and SO reasonable that
they acted upon it, to their great pro-
fit. And instead of scoffing at Holden
they began to swear by the professor.
And when he announced his oats special
there was no need of arguing the case
or of introducing the professor. There
was no predjudice to combat. They
knew the professor and they were con-
fident that he was again going to show
them how to put money in their purse
how to raise more oats and better oats
than ever before. And SO the first oat
special played to big houses, and others
are being planned.
