Georgetown, June 23.-No motive
can be ascribed for the murder of Is
year-old John E. Rogers, within
sight of his fathers home, late Tues
day afternoon, by Henry Williams
and George Sharp, better known as
Joe Short, unless there were old
grudges against him on the part of
the colored boys. Sharp, who was
an accomplice in the murder, was
apprehended by State Detective
Walls late yesterday morning and
lodged in Jail. The story told by
each one at the Jail and inquest was
about the same. Williams said that
Tuesday morning, while they were
in the field thinning corn, a dispute
arose between the white boy and
Sharp and the latter suggested to
him that they strike him, (Rogers)
over the head with their snckering
canes, but they abandoned the idea.
Williams said they worked up until
lunch time, when they went up to
the house and after concluding their
meal went back to work. Rogers
took his gun hoping to shoot birds.
They worked until between 8 and
o'clock when Rogers lay Gown on
ditch bank under a large oak tree.
Rogers gun was lying beside him.
Loading the gun and cooking it,
Williams said he walked up to with
in a yard of Rogers, who appeared
to be asleep or about half asleep, and
discharged the weapon, the lead TAX
ing effect in the back of his neck
and penetrating so far as for some
of the shot to lodge in his lower lip.
Williams said Sharp was looking at
him when he fired. but Sharp said he
turned his head. After the shooting
Williams told Sharp to go up to the
barn and procure two shovels so that
they might dig hole and bury the
body in order to conceal the crime.
When Sharp went to the house he
said that none of the family could
be seen so he got the shovels and
hastened back to the scene of the
tragedy where Williams was guard
ing the body At first they decided
to drag the remains short distance
in the woods and bury it, but think
ing that it would be more easily
found so near the edge they decided
to bury the gun and take the body
on the other side of the woods and
hurry it at the edge in an old sedge
field. Grabbing the murdered boy by
the feet, face downward, according
to their story, they proceeded in {
westerly direction for about tive
hundred yards until the e5ge of the
woods was reached. They then dug
a hole just deep enough to put hin
in and have little dirt to spreat
over the body. This done, the.
gathered some of the sedge eras
and covered the spot Both boy
then repaired to their labor an
worked until supper time when the
went up to the house.

,mperauce as a Health Problem

The keynote of the new spirit IN
Temperance teaching was sounded
Athe other day by DR. George W Web
ster, President of the Illinois Board
of Health, when he said:
"More may be accomplished By
teaching the people the truth in regard
to the fatal effects Of alcohol upon
mental and physical efficiency than By
espatiating on the moral ~iehed"ess Of
drinking.'
This is doctrine which everybody
interested in the genuine develop
ment of temperance would do we'll
to bear in mind. Long-haired orators
who come around and grow eloquent
over drunkards' graves and blighted
homes and deserted wives may or
NAV not do permanent good. II
drinking is sin, then it's sin be-
cause it Injuries man, and if a tenn
perance advocate is to accomplish
any permanent good he must show
lust how it Injuries man. Life in
surance tables show that man of
thirty stands 25 per cent better
chance to live to be seventy if he
doesn't drink-and one demonstrat-
ed statistical fact like this outweighs
all the eloquent generalities in Ten
Nights in a Room. '-Ro'e'gh

LEGAL ROW ON TRENTON

Filtration Bed Location of River
Front Selected.

TRENTON, April 1.-The city is likely
to get into an interminable legal tangle
if the intention of the Board of Water
Commissioners, to locate the proposed
municipal filtration plant OF the river
front lands between the pumping sta
ton and Capital Park, is carried out
All doubts as to what site was IA
vored by the board We're set at rest
last night when George w. Fuller, ar
expert engineer, hired, by the board to
make preliminary Investigations as tt
the character of plant and the location
of a proposed site, submitted plans
and drawings at the meeting Of the
commissioners.
Mr.. Fuller's plans provide for the
construction of a plant to be located on
the lands extending about 700 feet along
the water power, much of which terri
tory was sold or dedicated to the city
with the proviso that it should be used
for park purposes only.
Should any of these original prop
erty owners insist upon their agree
ments being lived up to. Common Coun-
Gil will be asked to institute condemna-
ton proceedings in order that these
lands may revert to the city for other
than park purposes.

APPELLATE COURT MOVES
TO DISBAR H. A. ROBINSON.
New York Lawyer Approved
Queer Traction Co. Vouchers.

NEW YORK, April IAN order made
by the appellate division of the Supreme
Court discloses that the Bar Associa-
ton has brought charges against Henry
A. Robinson, who was chief counsel for
fifteen years for the Metropolitan Street
Railway Company, up to 1908.
No other complainant appears pub
licly behind the action of the Bar Asso-
citation, which alleges that the attorney
was guilty of unprofessional conduct
and malpractice in approving vouchers
improper in character and made for the
purpose OF delaying and defeating the
claims of persons suing the railroad
The court ordered the
charges to be heard by a referee.
one feature OF the complaint has to do
with items purporting to be the e&-
penses for taking three city court
judges out to dine; buying hats and
cigars for court clerks in Manhattan
and Brooklyn; paying clerks for special
services; making payments to sheriffs
in Queens and Westchester counties;
buying dinners for court attendants,
who had been kept up late with juries.
and entertaining plaintiffs counsel, and
sometimes plaintiffs counsel's female
stenographers."
Robinson denies the charges and
holds that it is unreasonable to expect
him to meet them after a lapse of eight
to eleven years.

WOMAN KEEPS NO HORSES;
THINKS HARVESTING CRUEL

PLAINF1ELD, April Mrs. S. G.
Van Hoesen, of Fanwood, who is the
Union County agent of the S. p. c. A,
has been unusually busy lately looking
after the condition of horses used on
ash carriers wagons and in other lines
of draft work. Her special interest in
the subject just now is on account of
plans for an ash carriers parade as
soon as warm weather comes SO that
the people can see the kind Of horses
and equipment used In this kind OF
work. She has hopes of stimulating a
rivalry among the drivers of horses to
keep their steeds in the best condition.
Mrs. Van Hoesen says she keeps no
horses herself, because she does not
want to think of them being harnessed
and used as animals of burden, SO she
keeps an automobile, which cannot feel
pain.

BREACH OF PROMISE SUIT
FOLLOWS FREAK WEDDING

POUGHKEEPSIE, n. Y, April l.
A novel marriage contract was. brought
to light here when Henry Webendorfer,
a wealthy resident of this city. filed an
amended answer to a $780, 900 breach OF
promise suit brought against him by
Mary Horner.
According to the terms of the o n
tract, as stated in his answer, Weben-
dorfer and his bride might separate at
any time, at the will of either and
without cause, and thereafter live
apart. At their separation the husband
was to pay the bride a stipulated sum,
the amount to be regulated by the
period of their married life.
Webendorfer now says h a this
stipulation was contrary to the inter-
ests of society and the policy of the
State of New York" and is therefore
wholly unenforceable.

Lilenthal, a local horticulturist, an
nounces the discovery of an edible fruit
from the climbing rose. He declares
that this fruit will in course of time

fruit by cross-grafting. The fruit,
which he says is quite nutritious and
has a flavor like a pineapple. may be
eaten either raw or cooked.
