GRACE BROUGHT INTO COURT ON STRETCHER
 TO ACCUSE WIFE

Atlanta, Ga, July 29.-The judicial unraveMing of the mystery skeins of Atlanta's most perplexing shooting began. today, when Mrsi Daisy Opie Grace-''Daisy of the Leopard spots" stood before the bar of the Fulton court, charged with attempted. mur- der of her husband, Eugene H. Grace, prominent clubman and member of an old Georgia family.
 Mrs. Grace arrived several minutes before court opened and watched Judge Roan's> entry with interest. She gave close attention to the drawing of a jury and frequently consulted with her attorneys.
 .Grace arrived in. Atlanta shortly after 10 o'clock, being brought from his mothers home at Newman, Ga., in a baggage car, lying on a stretcher. He was transferred in an ambulance to the courthouse.
 The jury which will try Mrs. Daisy Opie Grace on the charge of attempt ed murder of her husband, was com pleted, shortly after 2 o'clock, this afternoon. The prosecution immedi- ateIy called Policeman R. A. Wood as the first witness. He was the off, ficer who broke into the Grace home to find Eugene Grace wounded.

lcebera Journeys.

IcGbergs from Greenland are carried down toward the middle of the At
 lantfc by the Labrador current. They
 travel right down the coast of Labra- dor, passing Newfoundland, until they
 reach the warm waters of the gulf
 stream, when they disappear, melting
 completely away. It is only the largest bergs that reach the middle of the At lantic before they disappear. On one occasion berg, 100 feet in height and
 nearly POO feet in breadth, was found in latitude 3S degrees 40 minutes, or nearly in line with southern Spain. Generally speaking, icebergs travel at the rate of three to five miles an hour They are carried forward entirely by the strength of the current. The dis
 tance they cover is enormous. Thou
 sands do not get farther than the coast of Labrador, where sthey become stranded. As they have come from the Greenland glaciers they have then cov- cred at least 1900 miles while those that reach the warmer waters of the Atlantic make journeys of from 2,500 to 5000 miles.-New York Sun.

ROSENTHAL SUSPECTS ON
 RACK TODAY
Coroner to Decide Whether They'll Be Held Without
 Bail on Murder Charge

New York July 29.-When Coroner Feinberg, sitting as a magistrate, re- stunned his inquiry today into the mur- der of Gambler Herman Rosenthal, it was expected that he would require the police to uncover just enough evi- dence against the men accused to war rant holding them without bail until the inquest, set for August 15. The cases against Harry Vallon, Jack Rose. Frank Cirofici, better known as "Dago Frank Louis Libby and Will heard first while Sam Paul and Jack Reich, alias Sullivan, might be given individual hearings.
 AS soon as the first cases were called Coroner Feinberg adjourned them un- til 23O this afternoon, announcing they would be consolidated. Whitman said he intended making c lengthy statement to the jury before he called lieutenant, Becker, but he declined tc indicate the nature of it.
 Meanwhile, the police were 11nvestl,. gatings a report that a.. "get-away' fund, running into the thousands, was being raised to permit the actual murderers of Rosenthal to leave the country.
 There. is wide conflict between police circles and private detectives at work on the case. It is emphati- callys asserted that the real murder CTS escaped in another car that was waiting near the scene and that the fblind'' y Because of this, the private detectives say, no attempt was made to cover up the number of Shapiro's (1G

NORTH AVE. WIDENING
Proposition to Widen Thoroughfart From Park Avenue to Lindley
 Street.

The question of widening North ave- ed that many of these originally op- fore the Common Council at a hearing Monday night. The original petition was to have the street widened from Lindley street to Main. street. Those who opposed that petition thought that if the street was widened at all it should be done the full length of the street. The first petition was passed by the council when Mayor Buckingham was in office. Mayor Buckingham vetoed the petition and the council sustained his veto.
 Now comes another petition to have the street widened from Park avenue to Glenwood avenue, and it is expect Formosa and Korea and many diplo- posed to the widening will this time favor it.
 The committee on Claims will meet Wednesday night to prepare it's re- port for the council meeting next Monday night; the committee on Sew CTS will meet Thursday night, and the Streets and Sidewalks on Friday night

Emperor of Japan Dead
 Has Reigned 43 Years
Continued from Page 1.)

Under Mutsuhito, however the peo-
 pie awoke. In a general movement
 they msdeeslp lost ground which vest
 ern nations were covering. They are
 not only willing to hear but insatiably
 greedy to acquire all that the occident
 has to teach. @
 Under Mutsuhito, too, Japan was
 victorious in two great wars--With
 China and with Russia. It annexed
 Formost and Korea and many diplo-
 mats believe it is now about to take
 Mauchuria, too. ss It has created an
 army and navy. In short, from a country of barbarians, it has trans formed itself since Mutsuhitoss reign began, into a power of, the first class. Had it been genuine, the most notable Of the Mikado's acts, however, would have been his resignation of absolute power and. establishment of a const1- tuition, but the truth is that the con- stitution is an ornament rather than a reality and Japan is as absolutely ruled today as it ever was.
 | Mutsuhito has no children by his inn- perial consert, but several by his sup plementary wives. Of these, the
 Grown Prince Yoshihito, now B years
 old, becomes Mikado.
 :, Crown Prince Yoshihito, who now comes to the throne, was the only one of the Mikado's near relatives who was unable, from the first, to be near ms LdLnGr. Tie was Just T6COV0T- ing from a severe attack. of chicken pox and his doctors told him it would be unwise for him to leave his bed. Later he was able to be at the palace 1 in person and was at the bedside when the Mikado passed away.
 The streets of Tokio were thronged from the moment bulletins of the Mikado's critical condition appeared. The Mikado is a semi-sacred person age in Japan and though the old be- | lief that he is something more than
 human is gradually disappearing, the older Japanese still adhere to it and through the influence of heredity and the influence of the government
 many retain the old habits.
 The occasion thus had a spiritual solemnity such as had not been pos- 1 sible in western country. Voices were hushed, street sounds silenced, tears were shed and general at l mosphere of sadness and tragedy fiji | ed the ordinarily cheerful, bustling people. When the bulletin was finally posted informing them that their 1 monarch was no more, the watchers
 turned signing away and, on their l Queerly clicking clogs turned their ! steps homeward.

The Sea of Space.

The mind cannot comprehend what is meant by the four little words in the expression ''the sea of space" If the volume of "space'' included within our solar system-which is perhaps but a single train of planets among hundreds of millions of similar kind-were oc- cupied by one single globe 5,600, ,OO0,- 900 miles in diameter it would be but as feather in the marvellous spread of vacancy" surrounding it. In fact. it has been calculated that in the space occupied by our solar system 2,7OO,- COG, ,OOO, 100000 globes of the size of our earth could revolve, each at a dis tance of 5O0QOO miles from the other, and the whole business would be noth- ing, for there is no wall to the treas ure vault of heaven.-Exchange.

GERMAN DAY
 AT SEA BREEZE


 The annual outing of the local Ger mans, arranged under the direction of the German-American Central Yer band, is in progress today at Sea Breeze Island. The Wheeler & Will son band played concert this after noon and will play another tonight.
 The Arion, Germania and Schwaeb- ischer Maenner Chor singers expect to take part in the vocal numbers. The Arions and Schwaebischer Maenner Chor will sing the songs with which they have recently scored sweeping victories in big singing meets.

 Many athletic events will mark the gathering this afternoon, and this ev- ening the singing, fireworks, German dinners and other features will be available

There will be refreshments on board, also music and dancing. There will be no intoxicating drinks sold and good or der will be maintained.

SAaahaIIa.

A seashel1, whether in one piece (uni- valve), as in periwinkles, or in two pieces (bivalve). as in mussels and cookies, is formed in much the same way. 1t consists of a colored outer horny layer, middle layer of prismatic structure and an inner pearly coating of innumerable very thin plates, the edges of which break up white light into it's constituents, so as to give rise to beautiful play or frideseence. The body of shellf1sh is invested in soft flap of skin known as the mantle" !" By the activity of this the shell is se- creted, and sticky fluid exudes from its surface and quickly hardens to form horny or ca1careous matter. The salts of lime are chiefly in the form of car bonate, but there is also a percentage of phosphate. Only the edge of the mantle is able to manufacture the two outer layers of the shell, and repair of injuries is entirely carried out in nacre, or mother -of-pearl.

Simplest Way of All.

The following story is told of Colo nel George W. Goethals, who at the time it took place was an instructor in engineering at West Point. One day, in a recitation, he gave out this question to class of cadets:
 "The post fiagpole, sixty feet high, has fallen down. YoW are ordered by your commanding officer to put it up again. You have under your com mand a sergeant and ten privates of the engineer corps. How would you get the pole back into placer X Each cadet, after long considera tton and much figuring over derricks, blocks, tackle and so on, evolved a different method
 'tNo," said Goethals; you are all wrong. You would simply say, Ser geant, put up that fagpole? "-Satur- day Evening Post.

Alderman Walker put in appearance at tlfe city hall today and was given cordial greeting by his friends in the city clerks office.
 In speaking of his trip, MT. Walker related many interesting incidents and said that he enjoyed himself greatly. He told of visit to the insane asy- lum in Matteawan. The magnitude of the place; it's facilities for handling the large number of inmates and many other things about the institu- ton impressed him. It was expected that Harry Thaw would be there at the time MT Walker visited the asy- lum, but Thaw had not been returned from his trial for freedom

 IDENTITY { OF MAN ] I||| DROWNED IN DERBY
Name of George A. Bender, 82 Cedar Street, Appears
 In His Effects

Identification was made today of the drowning victim of Housatonic lake, above Derby, as George M. :Benuder, a teamster, aged about 30. of S2 Cedar street. This was made through effects found in the clothing of the drowned man. The body has not yet been re- covered. 5sz.,..- s.<a < Mystery surrounds the presence of Bender at the scene of the drowning. None of the campers in the vicinity knew the man, though they talked with him before he plunged into the river for swim, and warned him of it's dangers.
 As nearly as the authorities of Der by and Shelton have been able to aS- certain, Bender rode into Shelton on A bicycle from Bridgeport, Saturday evening, and secured a room at the Howe hotel Shelton. He remained there overnight and Sunday noon ap- peared among tthe campers oI .5tne shores of the Housatonic river where it spreads out like a lake back of the Birmingham dam.
 He spoke of swimming, and the campers, more familiar than he with the dangers <of the river, warned him He scoffed at their fears, borrowed bathing suit and plunged into the; rlv, CT. With vigork, us strokes he started to breast the wide channel and had gone about half way when the watch CTS saw him fling. up his hands and disappear.
 There vas no boat on the shore whence he had set out and the mans plight was not seen from the opposite shore. Search for the body continued throughout the afternoon and evening and was resumed this forenoon.
 The mans name was given as both Smith and Thompson, but a bank book showing a $5 deposit in Bridgeport Savings bank disclosed the name and address of George M. Bender, 82 Cedar street Other effects in .ne garments indicated that he had been employed with the Salts Textile Mfg. Co. He was about 30 years of age.

WILSON, THE WINNER.
Hartford Tfmes.l

Report has 1t that the democrats are to direct their assaults to the head of the bull moose party and prac- ticaly ignore the Taft following in the campaign.- This coincides with what is discernible on all sides. Is the real fight to be between Governor Wilson and the Oyster Bay states man? A well informed Hartford man in speaking a day or two ago declar- ed that he had little doubt of the. cleo ton of Governor Wilson. He based his conclusion on the absence of >dem- ocrats fin y.the- third party movement. Ftirtherfnofe, he Said that by October many of the Taft men will be so afraid Colonel Roosevelt will win that they will cast their ballots for New Jerseys governor in order to escape a third term of Roosevelt.
