ment for the state yesterday afternoon
and this morning Attorney Johnson
took up the Anal argument for the de-

plea for the acquittal of one of his
clients, court attaches say At one time
it seemed probable that Attorney
Johnson and Attorney Shiveley, who is
assisting the prosecution, would come
TO blows, but like all word battles"
between attorneys in court the one
this morning ended amicably, and 1t
was hard to Judge which attorney
made the best impression on the jul

With his best characteristic pose At
torney Johnson stood before the jury
box and declared that Eschenfelder,
the prosecuting witness against Mrs.
Bodkins, is the prince of thieves. the
like of which has never been known in
the criminal annals of Wayne county.
Johnson declared that he was defend
ing a poor and oppressed woman, fall
sely accused, and that he gave his ser
vices to her the same as he would to
a woman of high social standing. The
attorney for the defense likened Esch.
enfelder to Pagan. one of the principal
characters in "Oliver Twist" saying
that Eschenfelder taught the small
youths who accompanied him on his
thieving trips, to steal.

Some years ago the government
transplanted about 10000 eastern lob.
sters in Monterey bay. Before ship
ping wooden pegs had been put In
their claws so that they couldn't fight
with each other en- route to this coast.
Before transplanting those in charge
neglected to remove the wooden pegs,
with the result that the Holsters all

The government accordingly sent au-
other shipment and this time saw that
the pegs had been removed before
planting the Holsters.
Some time thereafter the Albatross
steamed into Monterey bay, under the
command Of the United States fish
commission, looking for results Of the
transplanting. Lobster traps were set
at different points, but nary a lobster
was captured. The government then
posted notices offering $1,000 for a
specimen of the transplanted Holsters.

.STEREOTYpERS ARE
ORDERED TO WORK
President of Union Declares
They Struck in Violation
of Contract.
(Nationai News Association

CHICAGO, May 1.-THE strike of
newspaper pressmen, stereotypers,
newsboys and wagon drivers took
new turn today when President James
J.. Freel, of the Stereotypers' Interna-
tional organization, came to Chicago
with the avowed intention of forcing
the men in his union to return to
work. The walkout of the stereotyp-
ers, Freel asserted, was illegal. They
had, he said, violated their contract
and he ordered them by telegram and
long distance telephone from Newark,
\. j., to return to work. When they
refused, Freel, with other International
officers, hurried to Chicago, Today he
planned to meet the officers of the
striking local here and order them
back to work.
The strike which was called only a
few days after the stereotypers had
signed their contract with the publish
ers here may involve the local union
in serious difficulties with the Inter-
national bodies. President Freel's
telegram ordering the men back was
specific. Since the order was disobey-
ed, it is likely that serious penalty
will be imposed on the strikers here
and it is said that the executive COM
locals charter for disobedience and
violation of contract.
One Curious Phase.
The most serious phase of the strike
today is the newsboys' walkout. Dis
tribution of papers is still greatly ham,
pered. Although the papers were sold
on the streets in the downtown sec
tions yesterday under heavy police
protection, the morning papers distri-
tuition was again seriously impeded to-
day. Morning papers issued in six
teen-page form were published as u.s.
ual but they were an hour late in
reaching the suburban stations and in
all parts of the city it was impossible
for those going down town during the
early hours to get copies of the pa
pers. No papers were on sale at the
elevated stations until late in the
morning while in the downtown sec.
ton no attempt was made to sell pa.
pers until the morning rush was fair
ly under way.
In sections of the city where VIC.
lence was anticipated the newspapers
were sent out under heavier guard
than ever. Automobile trucks were es-
corted by a convoy of motorcycle pc.
licemen.
No reports of violence were received
during the early hours. Disorders
marked the sale of papers late yes
terday, however, and streets in the
loop district today We're strewn with
late editions Of the afternoon papers
that had been taken away from ven
ders by strikers5a and their .sympathiz
ers 7

Bowels are Basis
of Child Health

The careful mother, who watches
closely the physical peculiarities Of her
children, will soon discover that the
most important thing in connection with
q child's constant good health is to keep
the bowels regularly open. Sluggish
bowels will be followed by loss Of appe-
title, restlessness during sleep, irrita-
bility and a dozen and one similar evil
dences Of physical disorder.
At the first sign of such disorder give
the child teaspoonful of DR.. Caldwell s
Syrup Pepsin at night on retiring and
repeat the dose the following night if
necessary-more than that will scarcely
be needed. You will find that the child
will recover its accustomed good spirits
at once and will eat and sleep normally.
