CLIFTON CRAWFORD TELLS
HOW TO TRAIN MEMORY

Committing to memory comes
easier as you get used to it," says
Clifton Crawford, OF the Three
Twins" company, which comes to the
Detroit Opera house, the last half of
next week. There Is hope for you
of the poor memory. When you are
dull apafnetfc, unenthusiastic, your
senses aren't open to impressions.
Nothing strikes you hard enough to
leave an impression. Result, a slack
memory. When you are one Of these
objectless, motiveless individuals who
take no pleasure in their work and
your blood Is too thin to move your
thought mill, you complain Of forget
fulness. When engaged in certain
pursuits where one faculty is used or
oyer-used, to the exclusion of others,
the memory lobe Of your brain may
lie fallow and inactive. Dear me-
you say, how things slip my mind
These are most OF the conditions
that create poor memory. And now
here are a few ways to conteract
them, as I know from experience. II
you have found the work for which
you are fitted, and in which you take
pleasure. select certain particular
facts, names or dates, and by con-
scious effort inscribe them on your
memory tablets. DO this each day.
Review them once, twice or three
times before you leave in the evening
or when you return in the morning.
II you have considerable leisure and
are fond of reading. each day commit
to memory a line or so of poetry,
some aphorism, epigram or joke. At
the end of the month you'll be sur
prised to note how your efforts TO
memorize have enriched your mind.
Some might even think you prodigy.
when your whole brain acts like
a balky-horse and memory suffers
with the rest of 1t. the only thing to
do Is to call halt. Over-work al
ways results In poor memory. II you
try to memorize too much you forget
that you can remember. Do not try
to become a memory marvel. Memory
prodigies seldom make their mark as
great thinkers. Don't read too much.
II is much better to read a little of
the best, and select few facts for
your memory tablet than to wade
through jungles and morasses OF
reading matter without any definite
at the end"

JEROME APOLOGIES.
Says His Remarks Were Aimed At
Court System and Not Judge.

NEW YORK, Feb. By a left
handed" apology, William T. Jerome
escaped being sent TO the Tombs for
contempt OF court, yesterday after
noon. Called before Judge Swami 20
explain why he had assailed the court
and jury, which found Promoter Rob
in sane. Jerome admitted that he had
characterized the action In effect as
a 'travesty OF Justice" He made II
plain, however. that he had not in.
tended this as a reflection on the
court and jury. but rather on the
court system In force In New York.
Jerome also said he had been Mis-.
understood" when he was quoted as
saying that Judge Swami was "Crea-
ton OF Charlie Murphy OF Tammany.
He said that what he had meant to
convey was that the courts Of the city
are too much a part OF active politics.
Judge Swami accepted these state
ments as "Vindication OF all con-
cerned"

STRONG
FOR RECIPROCITY
Michigan Particularly Interested in
Promoting Trade With Canada, Says
Board of Commerce Head.

Abner E. Larned, president of the
Board OF Commerce, is heartily In
accord with the proposed reciprocity
agreement between the United States
and Canada and hopes to see Il
adopted. He ysays: cs.1 s'~y'7-
Detroit has always taken pro
nounced and leading stand in favor
of better trade relations with Can
ada. The famous old conference OF
1866, held in Detroit, under the aus
pices of the Detroit Board Of Trade
passed a resolution requesting the
president of the United States to en-
ter into negotiations with Canada
having In view the execution Of a
treaty between the two countries for
reciprocal commercial intercourse.
The conference of 1909 passed a
resolution declaring for permanent
tariff board to adjust giving the execu.
tive authority TO adjust a maximum
and minimum tariff rate for reci-
procal purposes, and calling on con.
gress to take immediate steps look
ing to the establishment Of trade
agreement with Canada.
During the interval of years be-
tween these two important confer
ences there never has been a moment
in my opinion, when the people OF
Detroit have not been strongly In
favor of reciprocity. This sentiment
prevails throughout the country.
There is popular demand for reci-
procity and the government In Wash.
ington will be making a big mistake
II 1t does not listen to this demand
instead Of being Influenced by a few
isolated cases Of selfish opposition.
THE Board of Commerce since its
organization has been active in en.
deavoring TO induce favorable action
by congress We have always recog
nized this dominating economic fact
In every action the board has taken
Canada buys more from the United
States than from any other nation (;
the United States sells more to Can.
ada than to any other nation, with
two exceptions. II has always seemed
to us that two nations which deal
with each other SO extensively should
be getting closer together instead OF
drifting apart.
I'm exports of domestic merchan.
disc Detroit far surpasses any other
customs district, and Michigan sur
passes any other state on the whole
chain OF lakes and the entire north
ern frontier; two-thirds or more OF
all these exports go TO Canada.
1--WE believe IL is especially impor
tant to the industries OF Detroit and
Michigan that trade with the Domin
ion should be continued and enlarg
ed by helpful treaty provisions"
The Progressive Republicans
League Of Michigan. Incorporated, has
adopted a resolution requesting Gov
Osborn TO urge the legislature to ash
the representatives OF Michigan in
Washington to give the reciprocity
agreement their support.

ADMITS he KILLED
HIS S|sTER.|N-LAW
John Fox Makes Confession To
Sheriff After He Is Captured
At Oxford.

FLINT, Mich, Feb. 3.-Sheriff
Parkhurst says Frank Fox has con-
fessed that he killed his sister-in-law,
Miss Ella Blade, at her home early
yesterday morning, and attempted to
kiH~ Mrs Catharine >Faibott, another
sister-in-law. He has admitted every
thing except the motive, the sherin
says.
Mrs. Talbot, in whose house the
shooting of Miss Blade occurred, says
that Fox came to the house early yes
terday morning and, after they had
admitted him, he told them that his
wife was dying at the station and he
wanted them to go and see her.
Mrs. Talbot returned to her room,
she says, and within a few minutes
she heard a struggle in the kitchen.
followed by a shot. She ran from the
house and her sister followed her,
with Fox in close pursuit, she alleges.
The fatal bullet was fired when her
sister was running through the yard
to escape. 1t was then that Fox turn
ed and fired at her MRS. TalbotD.
Jonatha Gordo, a friend OF the two
women, advances the theory that Miss
Blades refusal to move to Pittsburg
and live with Fox was the motive be-
hind the shooting. Gordon says that
Miss Blade informed him that such a
proposal had been made to her by
Fox about ten days ago, at the close
of q two-weeks' visit with his sister
in-law.
The officers had little trouble in
capturing Fox. The trainmen on the
ID. u. r. had been given his descrip-
ito, and when he got on one of the
morning cars at Myers Crossing,
few miles from here, he was recogniz-
ed. When the car reached Oxford he
was placed under arrest.

ADDS ANOTHER LINK TO
PUZZLE OF MANS TRIAL:
Jury Convicts Prisoner Who HAD
Been Declared insane, Then
Acquitted AZ Third Trial.

SSdStttCo ~ tUtE0 Et0ts
CHICAGO, Feb. 3.-One of the
queerest phases OF the American Jury
system was revealed In Chicago, yes
terday, when a man, found insane by
one jury, declared sane by another,
acquitted of killing one daughter BY
a third jury, was found guilty Of mur-
der by the fourth jury. for killing
another daughter at the same moment
he killed the first.
A jury returned verdict of guilty
against William Muetsch, As, wagon
maker. who on Jan. 80, 1908, shot and
killed his two daughters, Jennie. aged
two, and Gertrude, aged three: seri-
ously shot his baby son, John, and
fred several shots at his wife.
On the first trial, charged with muE<
der of his daughter, Jennie, he WA
found to have been sane Mt the time
OF the killing, but insane at the time
OF the first trial and sent to the asy-
lum. In a year and a half, he wno'
found to be sane and immediately
placed on trial again for killing Jen-
ME. The jury promptly acquitted him
on the ground that he was insane g.
the time of the killing, but sane g
the time OF the trial.
This time he was tried for the kill
ing Of Gertrude, who was killed 1t the
same time.
Today the jury returned verdict
OF murder, at the same time declaring
Meutsch was sane both at the time
of the murder and at the time Of the
trial. He was sentenced to life I'm
prisonment.
Meutsch, who had been married
twice, blamed his second wife for his'
troubles and tried to kill the entire
family.
