$4,000 cash, less 81, 80 charges for making
the loan.
On Cross-examination Birmingham said
Sherwood represented himself from the
Eastern Brewing Company, OF which
Charles Katz. also under Indictment was
president.
Several questions by Mr.. Mcintyre. which
he explained we're intended TO throw more
light upon the trust company's part in the
affair. were overruled. Birmingham limited
his responsibility by stating that every
move by him in the transaction was ap-
proved by President Young.
Henry Ullman, manager of the brewing
company. said that he signed note for

Davis-D Daily and Ohio Copper stock to the
market value of s1Oo.1OO appeared as the

Mr.. Katz explaining that ne desired him
To- sign the paper an accommodation.
He said he had never authorized Persch

Persch did not take the stand, only two
witnesses testifying for the defence. Their
testimony did not take five minutes when
the defence also rested.
Mrs. Helen n. Persch, wife OF the de-
fendant. testified that Walter l.. Clark
who turned states evidence. called at
Persch's home the evening before the trial
began and said:
Don need have no fear. He has done
no wrong. and the note which he gave to
Ullman protects him. Don was used as a
tool and dupe by other people"
George F. DemareSt, who was present
testified that he heard Clark make this
statement Perschs brother also was pres

Mr.. Mcintyre the summing up was de-

NO CLUE YET IN
MURDER MYSTERY
Body of Man Found in Clump OF
Bushes in Highland Park Is Still
Unidentified.

Detective John Downey. who, with
Detective Fox, is investigating for the
detective department the case or the
unknown man found dead, the victim
of a murderer. in clump or bushes
at the west end of Webb-ave., In High
land Park, Sunday afternoon. said
Tuesday morning, that the tragedy
was sill shrouded in mystery. The
body has not yet been identified and
until ii is the police fear they will be
unable to make much Roadway with
their inquiry. II is still their opinion
that the crime was perpetrated out
side of Detroit and the remains
shipped here ia a box.
Edward Druillard. of River Canard,
below Sandwich, Ont, scrutinized the
body to see If 1t was that of his
brother, Dolphis, who disappeared
some weeks ago. but found that 1t did
not resemble his brother.
The description OF the corpse is said
to tally with another missing man, an
acquaintance of the Rev. F. b. Cutler,
pastor OF the Fourteenth-ave. Baptist
church. Mr. Cutler is ont of the city
and the authorities have, therefore,
been unable to have him view the
body
Sheriff CASTOR and number OF his
deputies made search of the local
ity where the corpse was found, In
the hope of finding some clue to the
murder. but failed to get any.

FARMERS BUILDING
OWN TROLLEY LINE
Call II the Jersey Car Route, the
Short Horn Used AS An Emblem
On Everything.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Dec 27.-The
farmers who are building the electric
railroad from Springfield TO Joplin,
with branches to Mount Vernon anu
Pierce City, to be in operation IN
1911. have adopted Jersey COW as
their emblem and have named their
road the Jersey Cow route. The short
horn appears on all OF the stationery
OF the company and will be spread
rampant in yellow paint on all OF the
rolling stock of the company. several
attempts were made in years gone py
to build an electric line over the
route, but the regular type OF inter
urban promoters never could get the
farmers interested. Then J. /. Wood
fill, a retired railroad man who owns
big farm near Springfield, took up
the proposed road with his brother
farmers, and more than year ago
the company was organized. Now
the work is we'll under way. The stock
il all owned by agriculturists who
will be users of the road, and it Is so
held that there will be no chance for
a hostile influence TO get hold of it.
In getting the new road launched,
Mr.. Woodfill first went over the
route He convinced the farmers
that the road would add $4,000 a
mile to the value of their land and
afford them quick and certain access
to market. In few months the
right-of-way was all obtained and
$4,000 per mile had been subscribed
by farmers Then broker was call
ed in and under his direction the
financing plan was worked out The
bonds draw eight per cent interest.
The stock in the road is convertible
into coupon books which may be
used to pay either passenger fares
or for freight transportation.
The territory tributary to the line
ia we'll adapted for dairying. and that
is now one Of the chief prospective
sources Of revenue.

FEET IN A|RsH|P
Arch Hoxsey Braves Biting Cold To
Eclipse Record Made by French
man Recently.

AVIATION FIELD, Los Angeles,
Cal, Dec. 27.-Seventy-five thousand
persons saw Arch Hoxsey. OF the
Wright team OF aviators, break the
worlds record for altitude here Mon
day He scared more than two miles
up into the sky, his Paragraph regis
tering 11,474 feet, or almost tnou-
sand feet above the altitude OF l0,4ss
feet recently attained by LeGagneaux
at Pau. France.
This is the second time the worlds
altitude record has been broken In
Los Angeles, the first time being last
January, when Louis Paulhan rose
little more than 1000 feet.
Mr.. Hoxsey accomplished his feat
in a 4O-mile gale that wrecked Hubert
Latham's Antoinette monoplane ana
kent more cautious aviators on the
ground.
Mr.. Hoxsey sailed into the sky at ]
o'clock. At 2:45 his Paragraph show
ed the greatest height, while he soar
ed over Venice, seashore resort
more than 20 miles from the aviation
field. Coming down, he made a series
of thrilling spiral glides while thou

came lightly TO earth, the crowd was
on its feet cheering. He was lifted
from his biplane by fellow aviators'
who paraded up and down before the
grandstand bearing the intrepid hier
on their shoulders.
The chrowds insisted on making a
hero OF Mr.. Hoxsey. They did not
give him time to doff his furs, but
marched him back and forth before
the grandstand.
"Was it windy up there" he was
asked.
1T blew so hard replied Mr.. Hox,

Antoinette machine completely. The

aviator into a gully.
The Frenchman was unhurt, but MS
machine was tangled mass OF wire

only part left intact, and M. Latham
declared that having enough parts
for three extra machines, he would
build a new monoplane and be In the

NEW WRIT|NG
SYSTEM SPREADS
Modern Kids Chant Their Way
Through Second of Three RS"
By Palmer Method.

CHICAGO, Dec. 27-The old copy
book in which you practiced your
writing lessons when you were boy.
and which has survived these many
years I'm most OF the schools of the
country. has been RELOCATED to the
waste basket.
Chicago, New York, Boston and
other places have something new in
the writing line, II is called The
Palmer method OF business writing.
1t eliminates the painful process of
copying stereotyped sentences that
characterized your own efforts to
learn the art OF writing.
Instead. the teacher reads poetry
or plays the piano. or recites childish
jingles, while the pupils commit their
copies to paper.
The modern emphasis is on fast.
free, easy and beautiful writing, and
these ends are accomplished by re-
Taxing the muscles of the pupils, in
sisting upon correct sitting posture,
and a free, easy, arm movement.
The old copybook was made by a
skilled engraver of script. The pupil
was expected to equal his uniform ex-
cellency. With cramped fingers, the
pupil would waste hours trying TO
duplicate the success of the engraver.
The copybook style of writing, say
the advocates of the Palmer system,
cannot be written rapidly nor with
east. When an attempt is made to
make il serve practical business pur-
poses it degenerates into an ugly and
irregular scrawl.
The first exercises Of the new sys'
tenn are the making OF ovals in a
connected line, to the accompaniment
of the teachers counting AS the
originator of the system, A. n. Palm
er of Cedar Rapids, Ia, puts 1t,
counting makes the work more in'
teresting, tones down the movements
Of the naturally nervous pupil, acts
as constant spur to the habitually
slow boy or girl, and keeps the indo-
lent student busy"
The student soon gets in the habit
of making rhythmic motions, and
shapes his exercise upon easy and
graceful curves upon which as y
basis he builds the letters Of the al
phabet and learns to write connected
letters and whole sentences.
The idea OF molding the writing to
the rhythm Is also developed by the
teacher, who passes through the room
making her comments and correc-
tons in some such way as this !:
Drop them down, drop them down,
lightly drop them on the paper: get
the. rhythm, get the rhythm; make
t'em smaller. make 'em smaller; ciose
'em up, close 'em up: slide along
slide along round e mout. round 'em
out.
The same psychological effect is
produced upon the pupil by playing
certain slow airs on the piano.
The result is astonishing in the
clear, rounded script which pupils OF
ten, eleven and twelve years write
with ease. The only objection ad-
vGnced against the system is the
great uniformity of the work of all
the pupils. scores of examples look
ing almost exactly alike. II is said,
however, that pupils cannot fail to de-
velop original characteristics in their
writing, as they continue to use It..
while retaining the beauty and
clearness developed by the system.
