brief outline of the case made to the

the ineredibility of the testimony Of

Dunno began his argument with a
careful analysis of the testimony OF
george Greenwood, Lagan's companion

OF Greenwood as beer befuddIed'' and
classed his testimony as rubbish. He
requested the jury not TO convict this
old man, as he dramatically pointed TO
-Conboy; man who had served his
city faithfully for 81 years That it
was no place for sympathy; that the
charge was a serious one and called
Tor careful examination was the con-
tention of Dunno.
Dunno was just as severe in dealing
with the testimony of Edward Nc
henna- witness for the prosecution. as
he was with that of Greenwood He
insisted that McKenna had contradicted
himself many times. He read from the
leColu VI testimony before the coroner
and the record of the testimony in the
present trial to substantiate his claim.
Dunno asserted that McKenna had not
witnessed the shooting of Lagan, but
had turned and ran when the first shot
was fired He ridiculed the testimony
OF Mckenna relative to a red automo-
bile standing between him and Lagan.

culing the evidence of Greenwood Nc

Rumored Branded false

VALLEJO. Feb. IA false rumol
has been circulated in Vallejo to the
effect that Naval Constructor Evans
who formerly had charge of all boiler
work at Mare island, had received ar
anonymous letter relative TO a warning
that the boiler tubes on the torpedo
boat Hopkins were in bad condition and
needed Investigating.
An unsigned letter was received by
the engine crew of the torpedo boat
Stewart, stating that the boiler tubes
on that vessel were in bad condition
Upon an investigation being held b.
Evans Is boiler tubes were found to be
stopped up with rolling tubes and such
other material as used by a boiler
maker in the performance of his duty.
Any one of the 13 tubes found in a
faulty condition were capable OF caus-
ing the same trouble that took place
on the Hopkins.
The last work done on the Hopkins
was performed about one year ago
when the boilers were partially re-
tubed. The rest were reported as being
in good condition. but having been il
use for several months previous to
this time.

HERO WORSHIP.

We are all hero worshipers.
| We admire our hero because there Is
something in US like that which we
admire in him.
The boys early hero is the police
man or the fireman or the soldier, be-
cause there is something in his hero
that is like something in him.
| And so Of the race.
My cave man ancestor made his hero
of the man who could crush the most
skulls with his club. And there is
something of my stone age ancestor
| in me, his heir.
Therefore the worship of the war
rior while the hero Of the gentler arts
goes unsung.
But the time will come when we
shall build our monuments to the
heroes of peace, to the men and wo-
men who serve the race and sacrifice
for the race. rather than to the war
riors who roll garments in blood.
Some day we shall cease to admire
Charlemagne, who made his special
ty that of killing men. and celebrate
the virtues of Pasteur, who by his
patient laboratory discoveries saves
men from such horrid deaths as that
Of hydrophobia.
Some day an Edison will rank above
q Caesar.
Some day we shall understand that
one David Livingstone, on his knees in
Africa, praying for "the open sore Of
the world" Is worth hundred Charles
Martels. who hammered the Moham-
medans; that the perils of Paul and
his labors are incomparably greater
greater In sacrifice and patience and
heroism--than that of all your blood
letting generals.
We shall see clearly, some day
That the Thirty Years war was
mere skirmish compared with the
age long campaign great and good
men have made against ignorance and
superstition and brutality and poverty
and the evils of political and social
life.
Some day
The race of man will pull down the
statue of the mere military hero pos
ing on his bronze steed and set up
memorial to that great Austrian, DR..
Lorenz, who teaches the young physi-
clans of the world how to cure the
dreaded hip disease" in children.
Hasten that day!
The sooner we cease to worship the
military butcher who makes a bust
ness of killing men and begin to sing
the praises of the evangel who saves
men the sooner win real civilization
appear.
For then our heroes shall be like US
-only greater. nobler, better.
And we shall be like them. but less
great and noble and good.
