The trial of Ray Weaver for
manslaughtcr in causing the death of
Lena Specrs, by sending her poison,
occupied the attention of the district
court last Thursday, and resulted in
the acquital of the defendant. 1t
was contendcd by the defense that
there was no criminal intent on the
part of Weaver and that the prose-
cution had not shown that the poi
son had caused death. The jury
was out about an hour and returned
verdict on the second ballot. I'm
mediately upon his release Weaver
was again takcn into custody to
answer an indictment from the l..
). Court for the improper use of
the mails. Weaver was fined 5000
for the offense, and the court gave
him his liberty for 30 days in which
to raise the money.

DEFENDS HIS ATTITUDE.

Replying to a criticism as to his
attitude III supporting the state
democratic ticket, editor Wells of
the Bliss Times, defends his posi-
ton as follows
In the first place the third party
ticket cannot hope for victory the
first year i'll this state, much less in
national politics. 1t is essential
that the Carey Act vote be used ef
iectively if it IL to accomplish that
for which the many Unions were
organized year ago. TO throw
this vote away il to play directly in
To the hands of the enemies of the
lrrigator; it is To capitulate to the
men who have viewed with alarm
the organization Of the water user,
and who have seen their corrupt
lawless power slipping away from
them by reason Of the the corrupt
Legislators fear Of the weapon which
through organization is held by the
mere settler Why should the
dishonest legislature, the dishonest
Judge, the traitorous official of any
description fear the vote Of the Ca
rcy Act farmer, if il iS not Ia be a
factor in the election?
BY all means scratch the ticket foi

that the fruit business is going to he over

thirty-hve to forty thousand boxes oi

alarm upon the candidacy of this
popular lady, rs il meant defeat

Oook was approached with the al
tentative Of resigning her position
IN the schools or taking her name
lrom the ticket. Like the plucky
woman she is, she stuck TO the
ucket and the voters of the county
afegolng to reward her for her bra

FOR STONEY GREER BRIDGE.
County Commissioners Out This After.
noon to Finally Choose Site for
Structure.

Following their morning session, in
which practically all of tle routine
business was crowded into a few
hours, President Smith and the MEM
bers of the Board of County Commits
siouers, together with County Engi-
neer Green, arted from the city this
morning for Stonev creek, in the up
per section of the county, for the pur-
pose of making the final selection of
the site for the construction of the
new bridge over that waterway.
The building of this bridge was
authorized by an act of the last
Legislature, and the question of a
site has been hanging fire for weeks.
Two or three locations have been
under consideration. Some time ago
a committee of the Board was ap-
pointed to investigate the matter,
but somehow has been unable to
reach an agreement.
As the Commissioners desire to
place the bridge at point where it
will be of most service to the commu-
nifty. it was decided that the whole
Board should finally pass upon the
matter.

DISTINGUISHED VISITOR.
Father of the Pure Food Law Now
in Annapolis.

For the weekend Annapolis enter
tained distinguished visitor, DR..
Edwin A. Ladd, of the faculty of
the Northwestern University, at

Dr. Ladd is East in the interest
of Hygiene and represents his city
at the National Hygiene Congress,

With Professor Ladd the ure Food
Law had its inception. He drew VI
the bill, framing it and presenting il
to the North Dakota Legislature.
The bill passed and the Pure Food
Law had its origin in Fargo. Other
cities took it up and other states fol.
lowed the good example set by North
Dakota.
DR.. Ladd is Father of the Pure

panied him East, was before her mar.

n almost solid wall against an at

an almost solid wall against an at
tack.
The idea in raising the value of a
touch down to six points was the out
come of the controversy regarding
the relative value of field goals and
touchdowns. Under the old ruling
a touchdown was not as much as
two field goals and it was generally
held that touch down ought to equal
goals from the field because of the
great dfficulty in securing them.
With the extra point allowed for kick
ing goal after touchdown, team
making touchdown can beat the one
scoring twJ field goals.
The change in the rule allowing a
forward pass to be made any distance
is not likely to affect the play to any
extent. There will be few passes
made that will be longer than twenty
yards. the distance allowed under the
previous code. The ball is to be pat
in play from the 20-yard line after
touchback, instead of being put in
play behind the 25-yard mark
The field Judge is eliminated and
the head linesman is given control of
off-sile play on the line of scrim-
mage. The number of men allowed
on the side lines is decreased and,
and from this time on only one man
will have the privilege. a bounud-
ing ball will not be allowed to score
a goal, even though it goes over the
bar. this is merely claritication of
a condition not governed by any pre-
vious ruling.
The interval between the first and
second and third and fourth periods
is decreased fro m to minut es to ons
minute. This will barely give the
team time enough to change goals
ana will only cause the conditions
made by the wind and elements or
field to be equaled.
On a kickoff the ball, instead Of
being put in play from the center of
the field, will be kicked from the DO.
yard line Of the team kicking off.
Taking into consideration the short
ening of the field and this change in
the rules, the kick is heightened by
five yards.
Besides these changes there are
several instances in which the code
has been clarified and in which rules
which might Ehave been considered
ambiguous were rendered more ex-
plicit.

MAY REVISE COURSE
At NAVAL ACADEMY
Changes in Entrance Examinations
Also Are Urged.
CAPT. GIBBONS IN WASHINGTON.
Superintendent is COnferring With
Officials Of Navy Department in
National Capital Today.

Following an all-day session of the
Academic Board yesterday. in the
course Of which plans for a revision
of the course of study at the Nava
Academy, as well as the character OF
the examinations of candidates fol
admission as midshipmen were out
lined, Capt. John H. Gibbons, super.
intendent of the Academy, is in con.
ference with Navy Department OFF,
calls in Washington today.
Ever since Captain Gibbons became
the presiding chief of the naval school
year ago, it has been his idea that
the course should be so adjusted that
more attention be given to the funda-
mental principles cf training the
youths to become officers, instead of
the cramming process. This refers
particularly to the sameness of the
preparatory work of the candidates
for the Academy.
fhe contemplated revision of the
course was the primary subject up for
consideration by the Board yester-
day. Various other matters pertain
ingto the re-opeDing of the Academy
for the academic term on October !
were, however, taken up, such as
planning the usual daily routine of
studies, drills and practical exercises.
Sessions were held both morning
and afternoon, and it was late in
the day before final adjournment
was taken.
Announcement was made at the
Academy today of the designation
of Commander r. H. Jackson as head
of the department of English to
succeed Commander E. H. Durell,
transferred to sea. Commander
Jackson is at present in command
of the gunboat Helena, on the Ash
attic station. His selection COM
pletes the academic staff of the Acad-
emy. Lieut.. Commander Ralph
Earle is acting head of the depart
ment in the interim.
Officials of the Academy are busily
engaged today in working on the list
of appointments OF cadet officers for
the regiment of midshipmen for the
forthcoming term. 1t was announced
at the Superintendent's Office this
morning that none of the appoint
ments have as yet been decided upon,
but that the roster will be completed
before the end of the week.
1t is rdmored, however, that
Midshipman H. P. Blandy will be
named as the cadet commander of
the regiment. This is the highest
military honor that may be attained
by a midshipman, and the position
is much sought afer. The holder is
more commonly termed as the "five
striper" of the regiment. as the rank
carries that many sleeve stripes.
The new fourth class was organ
ICED into battalion some time ago
and drills are being held daily. The
officers of the battalion are: Cadet
