Second Fritch Trial Begins.

Detroit, Mich, June 27.-The case
of DR.. George A. Fritch, which at
tracted countrywide attention two
years ago, was called in court today
for its second trial. Dr. Friteh, who
was a we'll known Detroit physician,
was convicted of killing Mabel Mill
man, through criminal operation.
The home of the Millman girl was in
Ann Arbor. On September 6, 1909,
after she had been missing from home
for several weeks, her dismembered
body was found in Ecorse creek near
this city. The medical examination
revealed that she had been the vic
tim Of a criminal operation. On a
clue furnished by friend of the dead
girl DR.. Fritch was arrested and
charged with the crime. He was con-
victed chiefly on the testimony of a
chauffeur who declared that DR..
Fritch, with whom he was we'll &C.
quainted, had hired, him for a mid
night drive to dispose of the remains
of the murdered girl, who had been
cut up and the parts Of her body sew
ed in several sacks. After DR.. Fritch
had served more than year in pris-
on the state supreme court reversed
the decision and granted new trial
of the case. Since the action of the
supreme court the physician has beer
at liberty on bond. The chauffeur
whose testimony convicted him has
since disappeared, though the prose
cutting attorney hopes to locate him
and have him testify at the SECOND
trial. - 80

Baltimore, June 27.-Progressives
in the Democratic national conven-
ton claimed a notable victory last
night when they carried the motion
abrogating the rule by which some
state delegations were bound to cast
their votes as unit. The fight for
and against the unit rule was waged
about the state of Ohio, where eigh-
teen district delegates had been in
structed by the primaries to vote for
Woodrow Wilson but where the state
convention controlled by Harmon
forces had invoked the unit rule bind
ing all the Ohio delegates to the Ohio
governor.
The convention by vote of SIS
1-2 to 40 1-2 voted that no state del
egation should be bound by unit con-
troll except in such cases where the
state law was mandatory on the sub
ject.
The Wilson supporters in the con-
vention who earlier in the evening
had carried on a demonstration last
ing thirty-five minutes regarded the
vote as distinctly favoring their can
didate. The Wilson boom had been
growing throughout the day Wilson
gained and Harmon lost eighteen
votes from the Ohio delegation as a
result of the fight. It was said the
abrogation Of the rule might lead to
breaks in other delegations and this
left the REORGANIZATION race in great
er doubt than ever. New FORKS solid
block of ninety votes was cast In fav-
foring of continuing the unit rule and
amid Kisses and groans. Missouri,
the home Of Champ Clark, split 20 to
e in favor of the unit rule and this
was also received with groans. When
Nebraska and Kansas solidly voted
for the absogation of the unit rule.
there were cheers from the Wilson
forces. Pennsylvania, Wilson state,
gave big majority for the abroga-
ltion.
There had been reports during the
day of a growing sentiment In the
New York delegation In favor Of
Woodrow Wilson. The delegation
voted under the unit rule last night
in casting its ballot against the prop
losition fostered by the New Jersey
governors supporters.

SAYS IDAHO WILL WIN

handle team. And it is the possibility
that Washington's inexperienced back
He'd and ends will make phenomenal
progress this week that gives Washing
ton any chance to take the measure of
its opponents.
For three years past Idaho has con-
tlnued to improve, as its scores against
Washington will show. Three years
ago Washington won, so to 0 the next
season Washington won, q to 0. and
last year, at Spokane, Washington won.

washington had to scrap every inch of
the way. Idaho today has players that
nave been through all three games and
are at the acme of their playing ability.
Three years ago it was Idaho that

condition is reversed, and Idaho comes
here with every advantage to pull down
the score still more, and, more likely
than not, to win. This year. if ever,
Idaho has the opportunity to grab the
honor Washington so long has held
And, while it will be admitted that
Idaho always puts up wonderful bat
tie against Pullman, owing to their
close proximity and intense rivalry, it
is also true that the honor of being
whelm the Washington eleven is an
incentive to fierce fighting if there ever
was one.
IN addition to the inexperience of the
Washington players, Coach Dobie has
mad the hardest kind of luck all season.
Scarcely two days in succession has he
had the same combination together, due
to injuries. The fact IS that
the men have had hardly more than
TWO weeks real practice on the first
team, contrasted with Idaho's settled
lineup from the very first of the sea-
son. The fact that Dobie has been
forced repeatedly to break up a good
