VERDICT WAS GUILTY
In Case of Philip L. Kahn, Charged with
Libeling Henry Russell.

Boston, March l5.--Those who crowded
Judge Browns court yesterday, expect.
ing sensational testimony in the case OF
Philip l.. Kahn, charged with having
criminally libeled Henry Russell, man
aging director of the Boston opera COM
pany We're disappointed.
The case ended abruptly, the defense
having offered no evidence. A verdict
of guilty was returned by the jury at
the direction of the court.
Assistant District Attorney LavelIe
was sustained in asking that the defense
be confined to the specifications of the
bill OF particulars.
The defense said in view OF this ruling
it would offer no defense.
Lavelle declared the accusations not
only libel upon Russell, but upon "such
eminent and respectable citizens as Eben
ID. Jordan, Henry Lee Higginson, and
also upon every benefactor, official and
performer connected with the opera
house. II is vicious libel upon the
whole city of Boston"
The alleged libel was under the cap

lONLY "CASCARETS"
IF CONSTIPATED
Salts, Calomel and Cathartic Pills Are
Violent-They Act on Bowels as
Pepper Acts in Nostrils.

Take Casearet tonight and thor.
oughly cleanse your liver, stomach and
bowels, and you will surely feel great by
morning. You men and women who
have headache, coated tongue, can't
sleep, are bilious, nervous and upset
bothered with sick, gassy, disordered
stomach, or have backache and feel all
worn out.
Are you keeping your bowels clean
with Cascarets-or merely forcing a
passageway every few days with salts,
eathartic pills or castor oilY This is
important.
Cascarets Immediately cleanse and
regulate the stomach, remove the sour,
undigested and fermenting food and foul
gases; take the excess bile from the
liver and carry off the oonstipated
waste matter and poison from the in
testines and bowels.
Remember a Cascaret tonight will
straighten you out by morning. A 10
cent box from your druggist means
healthy bowel action; clear head and
cheerfuness for months. Don't forget
the children.--Advt.

DEFEATED
IN GOOD GAME
Spaulding Lost to Montpe-
lier High, Probable State
Champion
SCORE IN FINAL GAME
WAS 35 TO II
Heavy Visitors Were Supe-
rior Throughout the
Contest

Montpelier high school defeated the
Spaulding high school at the Church
street gymnasium last evening by the
score of IS to H. it being the visitors
second victory over the Barre school and
their twelfth straight win.
The game last evening was of great
err interest because of the fact that the
Spaulding school was considered the
runner-up for the coveted muslin rag,
and many prognosticators We're proph-
esying a Spaulding triumph over the
Capital city quintet Large delegations
of Spaulding admirers and adherents of
tao state champions taxed the hall to
overlooking, the Spaulding rooters oe-
cupying the north side of the hall ami
the visiting fans lining up on the south
side. Interest was supreme at all times
during the game and no play passed
both criticism or approval, each as 1t
warranted. While Montpelier outelasSed
the local school constantly through !ht
game, the wearers of the blue and red
thought resolutely to the finish. When
the heavy visitors bore down on the
'Spaulding players their combinations
were of no avail on the small playing
space, causing them to resort to at.
tempts for the basket from middle floor,
but at this style of play they were
weak.
Montpelier's players worked harmo
niously and to place the credit of the
victory on any Individual or group
would be an injustice to the cham
pions. j. Laird. the husky forward Of

cred unceremoniously into the game.
proved to be nothing short OF marvel, |
and was worthy alternate for Capt. |
Smith, who suffered a fractured collar /
bone in recent practice. Demng was |
figure in nearly all the combinations
of the champions.
Troup, Sowles and Levin excelled III
playing for Spaulding. Sowles was the |
victim of circumstance. He played a I
logged game, following the ball and
breaking up combinations with effect,
but when the ball was within close I
proximity of the basket he had little
assistance. Troup was equally effective
on the defense and closed his career as
basketball representative of the school
in manner worthy of comment. Levin
was prominent figure, working the
floor but shooting with poor success.
Wendell Averill, who was short time
ago elevated from the ranks Of the
scrubs, was called onto the scene of ac-
ton during the final moments of play.
In his brief time of playing Averill To-
Gated the hoop once. He was
stumbling block to the visitors and had
his appearance happened at an earlier
stage there is little doubt but that the
winners score would have been smaller.
Averll will be valuable acquisition to
quintet next season.

Poisoned Needles and What Doctor
Thinks of Them.

New York Telegraph: DR.. James J.
Walsh ridicules the idea of women
being made unconscious by 'pois-
oned needless The doctor says: Il
believe some of these women ara
suffering from hysteria and have
perhaps, pricked themselves with a
pin" Most persons will agree with
DR.. Walsh and readily accept the
now prevailing idea that the alleged
vitcims of the needles are hys-
terical and the writer's and the po-
licemen who evolved the idea and
the stories are suffering from the
same malady In order to inject
anything into the arm Of a person
with needle it would be necessary
to pinch up the skin tightly, drive
the needle in good distance and
then do the injecting. It is not a
thing that can be done in an istant
or without the victim" knowing
what is going on. If one is pricked
with a pin or needle the involuntary
Jump" or starting up Of the pricked
person would prevent an injection
Regarding those mysterious poisons
which produce immediate uncon-
sciousness DR.. Walsh says: I know
of no poison that would cause i'm
mediate unconsciousness admins
tered with needle" Imagination,
hysteria and a desire. perhaps, for
notoriety make many stories for
guillible newspapers. And as to the
white slave feature of the ''pois-
.oned needle yarns it is nonsense.
