CHILD FAILS
CONFLUENCE JURY
"Papa" Is Convicted of
Burglary as "Mother" and
Baby Shed Tears.

CHICAGO. September 23-Borrowing
baby to display it as her own in an effort
to influence Jury to acquit her husband
Of burglary, failed to impress Benton
Harbor. Mich. jury and Mrs. Harry Gil
verton barely escaped a charge of kid
naping the borrowed child. Sollie Smyth,
four years old. The mother recovered
her child yesterday by aid of the police.
The Cilvertons had no children. SO Mrs
Cilverton, believing in Jury persuasion
by sentiment, borrowed the child of Mrs.
Rosie Smyth in Chicago. Unknown to
Mrs. Smyth she boarded the first train
to Benton Harbor. where Cilverton was
on trial.
Sollie played his part in the drama to
perfection. All he was supposed to do
was to cry at intervals and gaze on the
jury. He did his part. but the jury
did not live up to expectations.
In the closing plea for the defense,
counsel asked the jury, in behalf OF little
Sollie. not to send papa to jail. There
were tears in the lawyers eyes, in Sol
lies eyes and also in the mothers"
eyes.
It was dramatic scene but the jur-
ors voted guilty. Meantime Mrs. Smyth
became alarmed when Sollie did not re-
turn home. She told the Chicago police
and they got trace of the child, which
was returned to the mother at Benton
HarbOr.

FAVOR HEAD FOR PARKS.
National Superintendent Want Blu
reau to Control Those of u. S.

Unanimity of opinion marked the con-
ference of national park superintendent,
held in Yellowstone Park last week. as
to the advisability of the establishment Of
a separate bureau or division for the ad
mnistration Of the national parks and
monuments, according to Clement S.
ticker, chief clerk of the Interior Depart
ment, who acted as secretary of the con-
ference. This opinion, said Mr.. ticker,
was held by park superintendent, rail-
road men, those having park concessions
and others.
AT present" said Mr.. Ticker. there is
no one in direct charge of the parks of
the country. There should be some one
who could give his whole attention to this
work. study the parks and their admin
istration and try to bring about uniform
ity in their management This work is SO
divided now that it is impossible for peo-
nile to know to whom to go If they de-
sire any information in regard to our
parks.

PROF. TODD PROPOSES
OPEN-A|R TELESCOPE
Astronomers Commenting on
Suggestion Recently Made by
Amherst Man.

An open-air telescope. a project for a
large. long-focus telescope view Of the
heavens. described by Astronomer David
Todd of Amherst. Mass. and formerly as
sistant chief of the United States Nautical
Almanac in this city, Is the subject of
comment among astronomers, inasmuch
as the suggestion is regarded as one of
the most unique in the line of practical
astronomical observation made in recent
years.
Prof. Todd proposes to do away with
the costly dome and use the telescope
in the open air. His description at pres
ent represents an altazinauth mounting
in which azimuth motion would be Sc
cured by revolving. vertical shaft work
ing on rollers. To secure the easy work
Ing of this he proposes to take up most
of the weight by fiotation with an ar
rangement by which the telescope would
be clamped in a safe position when not
in use by pumping out part of the sup
porting liquid. The tube would be built
on the cantilever principle. OF angle steel,
and would be supported in the middle.
Cost About $4,000.
Prof. Todd estimates that a sixty-inch
objective would cost about $125.OOO. and
such a mounting as is proposed would
probably cost like amount. Instead OF
observing chair. rising floor. as is now
used at all observatories. he proposes to
carry the observer in light chair or
carriage attached to the revolving tall
piece of the telescope.
Prof. Todd suggests the practicability
Of erecting such an instrument at some
such altitude as that of Fugi-Yama In
Japan, an elevation of u, 400 feet. where
q saddle within the crater provides an
ideal location such that wind would rare
~ shake the telescope.
Prof David Todd is wei known in To-
cal astronomical circles. having been con-
nected with the Nautical Almanac and
scientific expeditions from the United
States Naval Observatory. all of which
makes his open-air refracting telescope
q matter of special interest.

tional cup.
The fact that Larned would act as cap
tain of the American team this year has
been known ever since the challenge was
dispatched, last February. 1t will be
the first time that Larned has led an
American team of challengers to Austria
liza. Mclaughlin visited Australia as one
of the challengers along with Melville III.

FAVORS MORE OFFICERS.
Gen. Bliss Points Out Need of Artil-
lerv Branch in California.

Expressing the belief that the artillery
district of California. of all others in the
country, should be supplied with an ade-
uuate number of officers, Brig. Gen. Tas-
ker H. Bliss. commanding the Depart
ment of California. has reported to the
War Department that there Is a great
deficiency in the number OF officers of
that arm In his territory. He urges an
increase in the number of field artillery
officers.
Gen. Bliss also says there is a loss of
effic,ency in the Coast Artillery Corps in
Caiifornia. by the frequent moving from
station to station Of officers of that
branch, after short tours OF service. He
noints out numerous evils attending this
scheme and recommends the adoption of
a more definite policy regulating the time
Of continuous duty in any one place, as
IL done in other arms of the service.

face and hands entirely. breaking out
at intervals with severer torture. She
