Recently through letter Brandt
had written to United States Senator,
Nelson of Minnesota, tue attention Of
District Attorney whitman of New

Whitman's investigation led him TO
believe that Brandt had been improp

New York on writ of habeas corpus
and while these proceedings were pend
ing Justice Otto Rosalsky. who sen

John Ericsson was born at Lansban-
siiyttan, Sweden. in the fourth year Of
the nineteenth century. He received iii
his childhood the uGual education of II
boy of Il studious family of good posi-
ton and moderate means. As he grew
up his interest in mathematics was 50
noticeable that when be was only
twelve years old he became cadet Of
engineers. The training he received in
this position impressed itself upon his
quick brain and founded the structure
for his later achievements.
: In 1928 he constructed fame en-
CINE A year later he invented steam
engine which won the Liverpool and
Manchester railway prize in competi-
ton with George Stephenson, and in
the same year he turned out a steam
fire engine.
In 1888 Ericsson constructed the ca
loric engine. but 1t was twenty years
afterward before he perfected it to
such an extent that he devised the ship
Ericsson. of 1000 tons, propelled by this
motor. In the meantime. however, lie
had invented and patented the screw
propeller. In 1S41 he designed for the
American government the screw pro-
PEELED warship Princeton. two years
after he came to the United States.
The Princeton was the pioneer screw
warship. She carried twelve inch
wrought iron gun. designed by ErirS,
son. and wrought iron gun carriage
which took up the recoil without break

Neither the Stoner girl nor the Sidis

Mrs. Stoner has replied to Professor

WatsOn's Poem
; to
ECharles Dickens:

"FlLLIAM WATSON. one of the
" most distinguished of the
contemporary poets of Eng
land. recently made a trip
to America for the special purpose of
reading a poem which he had written
for the occasion of the celebration of
the one hundredth anniversary of the
birth of Charles Dickens.
Mr. Watsons poem follows:
When Nature first designed
In her all procreant mind
The man whom here tonight we are met
to honor q.
When first the idea of Dickens flashed
Where, where" she said. upon my pop
ulous earth
Shall this prodigious child be brought to
birth?
Where shall he have his earliest WONDER
ing look
Into my magic book?
Shall he be born where life runs like a
brook.
Pleasant and placid as of old it ran.
Far from the sound and shock of mighty
deeds.
Among soft English meads?
Or shall he first my pictured volume scan
Where London lifts its hot and fevered
brow
For cooling night to fan?
Nay. nay she said. 81 have a happier
plan!
For where at Portsmouth. on the embat-
tied tides
The ships of war step out with thunder
ing PROV
And shake their stormy sides
In yonder place of arms, whose gaunt sea
Filings to the clouds the far heard bugle
CALL
He shall be born amid the drums and
guns
He shall be born among my fighting sons.
Perhaps the greatest warrior of them ALL.
So there, where frown the forts and bat
tile gear
And all the proud sea babbles Nelson's
name.

INNOCENCE TO LAST

COLORADO SPRINGS, Feb. g.
With final declaration that he knew
nothing that would throw light on
the murder Of six members Of the
Burnham- Wayne families in this city,
Sept II, Arthur ]. Burnham, for a
time suspected of the crime, died this
morning of tuberculosis Of which he
has been a sufferer for years. Short
ly before his death he again protest
ed his innocence. "God knows | have
suffered" he said, "and not the least
part of my suffering had been the
consciousness that there are people
who still suspect l am guilty of con-
cealing the crime"
The crime was the most horrible in
the history of the city. Burnham's
wife and two children and Mr.. and
Mrs. F. W. Wayne and baby, the VIC
tins, were brutally murdered with an
axe while asleep and their bodies were
not found for three days.

LIZARD HEAD PEAK STILL
STANDS.

Shall the mountain come to alahom-
ct? In the west sensational news
paper writer's seem to be determined
that it shall, if the prophet happens
to be near the foot of the peak OF
late we have read numerous stories of
sliding mountains, slipping mo lntains,
the demolition Of the cross on the
Mount of the Holy Cross (whi,n was
conclusively proved untrue), etc, etc
And to these was recently alded n
plausible tale to the effect that Lizard
Head latitude 1888 feet), one of
the most striking peaks in southwest
ern Colorado, on the Rio Grande
Southern railroad, had yielded to the
force Of gravity and toppled over
or at least a great portion Of it.
But, alas for the credulous newspaper
mani The railroad superintendent
now states authoritatively that the
published report Of the accident was
due to a joke perpetrated on the daily
press, which innocently published the
item; and, it being a most attractive
calamity, the news was reprinted
broadcast throughout the land. How
ever, the huge head still stands, nose
upward, and, having never been scaled,
presents a tantalizing challenge to
American mountain climbers. Who
win be the first on the summit?
