Afternoon
MURDER TRIAL NEARING END

Cambridge, Mass, Dec. 6.-The
prosecutions direct case against Hat
tie Leblanc, on trial for the murder
Of Clarence F. Glover, will probably
be before the jury at the close Of to-
days session. When the court ad-
iourned last night the jury had heard
the evidence of twenty-one witnesses,
seven of whom testified during the
day.
No witness has yet testified to see
ing Hattie lie Blanc enter or leave
the laundry where the shooting is
said to have taken place, and three
efforts by the district attorney to In
troduce testimony that more closely
connected the girl with the crime
have been ruled out by the court. On
the other hand, the defense, during
the seven days Of the trial, has turned
the attention of the jury from the lit
tie Cape Breton girl to Mrs. Lillian
M. Glover, the widow, and the dis.
trict attorney has several times been
obliged to protect her against the at.
lacks of Melvin NJ. Johnson, leading
attorney for the defense.
Hat dozen witnesses testified yes
terday to seeing Mrs Glover In her
own home about the time the shoot
ing Is said to have occurred In the
laundry.
Mrs Glover's personal counsel, S
D. Elmore, was on the stand longer
than any one else yesterday and was
forced to admit that he was paid 81,

lowing the murder to defend hel

He declared also that he readily de
tected marks on Hattle's hands wher
she was dragged from her hiding
place. Whether these marks wer,
powder stains he could not say, bu
they looked like It.

trict attorney intimated that he woult

Seeking His Daughters He Plods from

Mobile, Ala, Dec. 6.-Footsore,
weary and discouraged, Frank Sch
rom, who is within two years of the
century mark in age, has given up the
quest of his daughters, which led him

she lived at 301 Baltimore Street San

Jan. of this year, and has been walk
not heard from him In years they be-
'ieved him dead. When he reached
the Golden Gate City he found that
they had moved away. Mrs. Fleisch-
kamp's husband had sold his plumb
ing business, and with her and her
sister had departed. Some neighbors
said their destination was Southern
California, where Fleischkamp intend
ed to buy an orange grove; others be-
lieved they had gone TO Pittsburg.
How the aged man survived his
long walk; how he found food and
water In twice crossing the desert
beyond El Paso; how he was able to
twice trudge over the mountains

when he described places and scenes
along the road to people who had Wis

BOY BROKER BROKE
into NEW YORK
HORSE SHOW
Took Second Place With BOr-
r0wed Coach
POLICE ON HIS TRAIL
Robert &. Davis Who Fleeced
Many Patrons Believed to Be
in Mexico

New York, Dec. 6.--It was just as
easy for Robert e. Davis, the Boston
financler, sought on charge of lar
ceny, to blaze brief, brilliant path
through the upper social armament
here. as 1t was for him to astonish
the sages of State street at home.
Through the complaints OF angry
creditors here 1t became known yes
terday that on the Saturday before
the national horse show opened. he
entered a coach and four he did not
own for the classic Arrowhead cup,
and with ]. II. Coulter of Boston on
the box and Morris Hewlett, one Of
the best known whips in the country,
beside him. took down second place
In competition against Alfred Gwynne
Vanderbilt and Paul Sorg.
Not content with that, he protested
the winning Sorg entry and the whole
matter went before the judges, who
finally ruled that the protest OF the
Ayrshire farms entry-the name un-
der which Davis booked In the official
catalogue-was unfounded, and con-
Hrmed Paul Sorg in first place.
The coach and four are the proper
ty of Coulter who innocently agreed
to drive for Davis for snug consld-
Grafton and all expenses. Neither
has been paid and the New York po-
lice believe Davis has gone to Mexi-
CO.
When the Boston police first began
their secret search for Davis they no
tilted the New York police that he
might turn up at the horse show. 1t
sounded improbably audacious to
headquarters, but they sent a man to
Madison Square Garden, who search
ed the catalogue, made inquiries and
came away with no more than he
knew before. And all the time Davis
Twas really in the catalogue under the
pseudonym of "The Ayrshire Farms.

ing the amount of public school mon.
ey received by each town In the state
from the various funds the amount of
the grand list, rate Of taxation, num-
Der Of schools and various other
facts tending to show the Injustice
of the present method of distributing
the public school money. The COM
mittee on education Is now wrestling
with the figures In an endeavor to
frame alaw that will remedy the In
justice so clearly disclosed by the
compilation. 1t will be remembered
that early In the session the Free
Press published some of these figures
tending to show that the distribution
Iof the public money which was de.
signed to compel larger and more
prosperous towns to help the smaller
places in educational matters was In
reality working the other way. AS a
matter of fact there is nothing new
about the figures for they are con
tanned in every report of the state
treasurer, but 1t is only when some
such hand for statistics and figures
as Mr.. Cushman takes the pains tc
dig them out that their full and true
significance Is disclosed. The figure:
for the few towns published by the
Free Press attracted considerable at
tention and created some surprise
but when the figures for the whole
state were laid before the gentlemen
who are supposed to shape the edu
cational policy of the state they saw
at once that the matter was serious
and demanded correction by the en-
actment of new legislation. -Burling
