Judge Maddox Renders Import

Under Agnew-Harf Law
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

NEW YORK. Jan. 11.--Judge Maddox,
in the supreme court of the second
judicial district department, handed
down today the fifth and the most i'm
portant decision in all the racing cases
that have arisen under the Agnew-
Hart law.
1t was in the case of Orlando Jones
and Sol Iichtenstein and the question
there came up broadly as to whether
frequency in betting was synonymous
with occupation. In other words. the
office of the district attorney in Kings
county contended that in making of
many wagers lay the definition of what
constitutes a book.
The court held that the making of
wagers, whether at even or at varying
odds. did not make the layer a book
maker so long as there was no record
ing or registering of the wagers.

Puritas, the Water Essential
to All Stages of
Your Growth
From Infancy Through Old Age
Puritas Is an Important
Health Factor

Puritas is the only absolutely pure
water obtainable hereabouts. 1t has
none of the vegetable or mineral i'm
purities of natural water. 1t contains
no impurities of manufacture boiling
or handling. It is carefully and scien-
tifically distilled twice; it is aerated
with pure ozone to give it vim; it is
bottled and sealed in absolutely clean
demijohnS.
If you can obtain such pure water
isn't that the kind you want to give
your baby on whose delicate organism
all foreign matter and impurities easily
work such detriment?
Then you will surely not discontinue
so important habit of health as the
baby grows into childhood. Children
who drink Puritas are far less liable TO
all forms of contagious disease And
late authorities, contrary to the opinion
of preceding generations, assert that
these diseases are not necessary in the
matter of child's existence. Puritas
will save many an anxious night over
a sick child.
Especially when the child reaches
the student age, or forms sedentary
habits in a business office, the use of
Puritas is wisely kept up. The danger
from lack of exercise is guarded against
by Puritas.
So with all older people likewise, for
distilled water is a natural solvent, ana
Puritas prevents such clogs in the sys>
tenn as result in rheumatism, govt, liver
and kidney troubles.
Puritas is inexpensive-five gallons
cost but 40c. Just telephone us-Home
10053. Sunset Main S191-and we will
see that you are supplied promptly.

MRS. DICK FERRIS IS
A BALLOON ENTHUSIAST
Says Aeronauts Get Real Grip on
Their Earthly Insgnificance
When in Clouds

Mrs. Dick Ferris, who shares with
Mrs. Roy Knabenshue the honor Of
being the first woman to enjoy a bal
loon ascension on the Pacific coast,
through their trip in the United States
from Pasadena Tuesday afternoon,
says she will have another pleasure
voyage as soon as Mr. Ferris returns
the ballon from his try at a trip across
the country
With nearly everyone else who makes
balloon ascension, Mrs. Ferris was
most thoroughly impressed with the
fact that sailing in a balloon brings
out ones finer feelings.

said yesterday. that l have a soul.

The Vastness of the air and the utter
insignificance of the earth beings be-
low us brought me the real sense of
what, we are on this earth. When, an
hour later Captain Muellers balloon
came up through the clouds, it seemed
as though another soul was coming up

Mrs. Knabenshue is an experienced
aeronaut. and by her trip from Pasa-
dena this week holds the unique record
of making ascensions at the edge Of
both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.

MRS. DUDFN TO
TESTIFY TODAY
ALLEGED SLAYER WILL TAKE
STAND IN DEFENSE
HUSBANDS EVIDENCE SAID TO
BE DAMAGING
Experts Discharge Revolver with
Which Fatal Shot Was Fired
and Will Report Findings
Today

SAN DIEGO, March 17.-Mrs. Ellie
Duden will take the witness stand To-
morrow and give her version of the
shooting of Bert Shelter, Tor Whlch sue
is ON trial for her life.
This announcement, made by Attor-
ney Daney late this afternoon, Is ac-
cepted as meaning the defense is near
ly ended and that the defendant VIII
prove its star witness.
Mr.. Duden, husband of the prisoner,
continued his testimony today, and 1t
was generally favorable to his wife,
although on cross-examlnatloh ne
made an admission or two that were
regarded as somewhat damaging.
Toward the close of the day Stanley
Andrews, manager of a firearms con-
Germ, was put on the stand to explain
tests as to powder burns, tne testS
having been made with pistol hred
at pieces of muslin at various dis
tances.
The prosecution suggested that tests
be made with the pistol with when
Shelter was shot.
The defense agreed, and the witness
and an expert representing the prose-
cution withdrew from. court to a base
ment. where new tests were made. The
results will be given to the jury TO-
morrow.
When Duden testified at the morning
session today that the last shot, which
was fired at Shelter as he staggered
down the steps of the Duden rooming
house mortally wounded, was acciden-
tai, he allowed the prosecution to Sc
cure a decidedly advantageous point.
according to the claims of the states
attorneys.
Tells How II Happened
Duden testified that when his wife
came out of the room in which Shelf
f1er had just been shot into the hall
way as Shelter was going down
stairs, he (Duden) cried to his wlte
to stop, and that she did SO so sudden
ly that she stumbled and the gun was
thus discharged.
have been a physical impossibility for
the last bullet fired at Shelter. the
course of which has been traced by
the place where it lodged and which
missed Shelters head but by mar
row margin, to take the course it did
except by having been fired by per-
son leaning far over the bannisters
and pointing the gun downward.
The theory of the prosecution now
developed is that Shelter was pre-
meditatedly murdered, and that the
last shot was fired at him as he stag
gered down the steps with his death
wound.
1t will be impossible, say attorneys
for the prosecution, for the defense to
show the last shot could have possibly
been accidental, as testified by Du-
den. If the prosecution substantiates
this claim the entire theory of self
defense set up by Mrs. Duden's at
torneys will be greatly controversial.
Duden also made a damaging wit
ness against his wife when he testi-
fed that she had said to the officers
after the shooting:
"I did it, l was afraid he would
knock the revolver out of my hand
and 1 shot him.
This was later toned down by Duden
adding that Mrs. Duden had later said
to him:
Jack. I just had to do it; he tried
to kill me-"
