NEW JERSEY STATE NEWS


AS Clifford Kraft, four years old
was playing with his brothers and sis
tiers in the yard in front of his home,
which fronts on the river bank, at
Belleville, he accidentally fell from
an improvised wharf into the water
The swift current seized the little fell

shrieked and brought their mother.
Mrs. Eugene Kraft, to the scene.
When Mrs. Kraft reached the end OF
the pier Clifford sank for the first
time. Without moments hesitation
the mother, who is a splendid swim
mer, plunged into the icy water and

gone down. She dived in the hope OF
reaching him, but while she was I'M

He Opposes Bottle Babies.

DR., Richard Cole Newton, of Mont
clair, who has devoted years of study
to the health of babies, says 'twhop-
per jaws" are becoming common in
the human race because so many
mothers continue feeding their little
ones on bottles when they should
have hard food to chew. DR.. Newton
says every baby should be trained to
eat hard foods as soon as it is weaned.
The early chewing of hard foods. the
doctor says, develops strong, we'll
formed lower jaws, which are the ac-
knowledged evidence of strong and
we'll balanced characters. Make the
babies chew hard crusts and hard
cookies" asserts the physician, land
they will develop the lower jaws and
have places for their teeth, which will
naturally fall into their proper posi-
lions if they have the room. AIDE
noids and enlarged tonsils, which
come from crowded and ill shaped
jaws and from mouth breathing

CAPTAIN HAMS GUILTY
OF MANsLAUGHTER
First Degree Verdict by the Jury
on a Compromise.
ONLY FOUR BALLOTS TAKEN
Six Stood For Murder in the First
Degree in the First Three, and
the Others For YER
dict q Surprise.

Flushing, L. Neither the plea
of insanity nor indirect appeal to the
"unwritten law" was successful in
saving from punishment Capt. Peter
G. Hams, U, S. A., who with an auto
matte revolver that made twenty bull
let wounds caused the death of Will
lam E. Annis at the Bayside Yacht
Club in last August The soldier
was found guilty of manslaughter in
the first degree by jury in the
Flushing Supreme Court that for
more than three weeks listened to
testimony concerning the actual
shooting and the causes of it. The
Jury was out from 1906 to 4.06 p.
M, and spent an hour and a half of
four ballots in all, the first three
In the first degree and six for acquit-
tai on the ground of insanity.
The verdict was a compromise.
Spectators in court who listened to
the testimony were sure that on the
evidence there must be either a YER
dict of murder in the first degree or
HCQulILdl. Inc QSLGTluludLlOu Oh y u
ror No. 6, Wilbur G. Craft to stay in
the jury room until "hell froze over
before he would vote to send free a
man he believed guilty undoubtedly
caused the six holding out for acquit-
tai to yield to manslaughter In the
first degree. BY the verdict Captain
Hams may be sentenced to from one
to twenty years in prison unless his
counsel can obtain new trial.
The verdict caused much surprise.
After the acquittal of Thornton Hams
and the comment in Flushing it was
expected the Captain would be set
free. Those who reasoned in that
manner lost sight of the fact that
Captain Hams killed Annis The
story of the alleged intimacy between
Mrs. Claudia Hams, the Captains
wife, and Annis was expected to have
such weight with the jury as to lead
them easily to the conclusion that
the Captain was insane when he
killed Annis The counsel for the
defense also were startled, and they
announced their intention to fight for
a new trial. One Of the unusual
grounds which they will urge is the
statement that the jurors were per-
mitted to move about unguarded.
There was no objection to the action
of Justice Crane at the trial of
Thornton in letting the jurors go to
their homes each night.

There ARE some advantageg in d

There are some advantages in d.
rect taxation, and some disadvan-
tages, argues the Christian Register.
While the expenses that are legiti-
mate, although burdensome, are
sometimes more easily raised by an
indirect tax which leaves the victim
unconscious of the amount he pays,
expenses that are not legitimate may
slip in without criticism. For our
army and navy and the expenses OF
past wars every man, woman and
child in the United States, on an av-
erage, pays more than $50 a year.
How many of us would tax ourselves
to this extent If the money had to be
raised by voluntary contributions for
the support of these things?

The best work for girls to do be-
fore they are married is the kind
which they should do after they are
married, muses. the New York World.
To be able to make her own clothes
is an accomplishment for any girl to
be proud of. The knowledge of how
to cook well is a most valuable matri-
monial accomplishment, whether the
wife has to do her own cooking or
can afford to hire some one to do it
for her.

We can label poison and we can
