John O. Stewart, father Of the boy, was
the first witness in his defense. He said
the boy acted queerly last December
about the time Of the ''hold-up" After
the entrance into the Moffett home. he
said, his son begged him to buy a lock to
put on his bedroom door to keep Moffett
from him.
He expressed the opinion that the
boy was mentally irresponsible when
he shot up'' the courtroom.
He admitted he never told the court
that he considered his son insane when
he asked for probation.
Other witnesses offered by the de-
Tense told the court the boys conduct
was freakish They were not allowed
to give opinions as to the mental con-
dition of the boy.
In rebuttal the government called Dr.

Insanity was the defense interposed to-
day for Ray NJ. Stewart. eighteen years

before Chief Justice C1abaugh and a Jury
to answer an Indictment charging as
saults to kill Police Sergeant c. j. p.

occupied chair on almost identically the
same spot on which he stood when the
shots were fired.

that brother committed suicide while
insane. Other traces of insanity existed.
the attorney stated, a brother and Sis
ter of Stewards mother having been sub
ject to periodical attacks of mental IN
soundness.

Threat "to Get Even.

Sergt Weber said young Stewart had
threatened ito get even with Moffett and
also with the witness. Patrolman Moi
felt testified that he had caused the ar
rest of Stewart and that the boy had
seemed to have some resentment toward
him.
He stated he had advised Prosecutor
Hawken to oppose the release of Stewart
on bail. as he feared for his children,
left unprotected at home. He said Stew
art had been seen with a gun patrolling
the dividing line between the property of
his father and tie home of the witness.
The appearance of Stewart at the Mof-
felt home on Magazine road, witness
said. at the time of the alleged house
breaking, caused his wife to be taken
to the Government Hospital for the In

leased.
Edward Blaine. who throttled Stewart
at the time of the shooting and threw
him to the floor of the courtroom, told of
his stopping the boy from further use OF

floor and handing it to Clerk Mckee. He
identified the pistol.

Grudge Held to Be Motive.

United States Attorney Wilson and
Assistant United States Attorney Hawken
conducted the prosecution. Mr.. Hawken
made the opening statement. telling OF
the firing Of the three shots in the court
room after Justice Stafford had refused
to admit Stewart to bail. He pointed out
that Stewart had a 'grudge" against
Se:gt. Weber and Officer Moffett for his
arrest and the damaging testimony told
by the policeman at Stewards trial.
Moffett had also charged Stewart with
breaking into the home of the ofhcer,
which adjoins the Stewart place beyond
Anacostia-
When the boy learned he was not to be
admitted to bail, the prosecutor sug-
gested. he determined to get even with
the policemen. He attempted to shoot
both Moffett and Weber. Mr.. Hawken
said, and was prevented only by being
overpowered by Edward Blaine, broth
er-in-law of Moffett. who sat near Stew

The testimony In support of the gov

for thousands of acres which it hardly
appears possible can yield more than
from 1000 to 1000 pounds per acre.
These figures will be regarded in
some sources as decidedly pessimistic,
but the fact that the greater part of
the crop has not had the stimulus of a
single heavy rain in itself explains why
even under the most favorable condi-
tions from now on, the 1913 New Eng
land crop cannot be an average yield as
regards either quality or quantity.
In Suffield the range of prices for the
new crop is from fifteen to twenty-five
cents a pound in the bundle. Most of
the sales are said to be at from sixteen
to eighteen cents. These figures are
hardly up to last years average prices
but are probably as high as the prices
paid at the outset of the 1912 buying
movement which it will be remembered
quickly developed into a competitive
bidding bee of which the grower made
the most.
The American Cigar Co. is reported
to have bought upward of 200 acres OF
the new crop in Suffield. Probably an
equal amount has been contracted for
by other firms and individuals.

THAT one of the reasons for the high
cost of living is the over production of
non-producers is shown, by the recent
school census of Minnesota as analysed
by The Christian Science Monitor. The
Monitor has found, by an analysis of
the statistics, that out of $4,000 chill
dren being educated in the Minnesota
public schools, -tenths of per cent
were educated as producers and 1916
per cent as consumers. 1t is that ten
dency among teachers and parents,
among proprietors of business colleges
and special schools, which is making so
many poor clerks, dub lawyers, poor
doctors and dentists, thousands of
worthless engineers of various kinds,
out Of excellent material for carpent-
ers. bricklayers, blacksmiths, farmers,
gardeners, orchardists and other pro-
ducers whose hands are intended to
work for the worlds life. 1t is the ten
dency of the young folks themselves,
INDUCED and trained by their parents
and encouraged by their child teachers,
to seek ''boiled shirt, >" clean hands,
jobs that are cutting an influence in
modern life.

LANCASTER, Pa, Aug. 20, 1913. +
The heavy sales of 1911 tobacco,
which were chronicled last week, have
had a wonderful influence on our to-
bacco men, for it has heartened them
up amazingly. That such big concerns
as the United Cigar Manufacturers Co.
and the American Tobacco Co. should
want the tobacco to the degree evinced
by the purchase of some seven odd
thousand cases is regarded as full of
significance. The goods were bought
cheaply, to be sure, and some of those
who sold lost money, doubtless, or at
most made none, but it is not likely
that any more of these goods are going
at any such prices. The 1911 is all
right, and before very long it is felt
that the cigar manufacturers will want
it badly. It is here for sale and to be
had at a fair price. Undoubtedly,
though, such heavy selling as was re-
Gently carried on will mean an advance
of prices.
Slowly, but surely, the 1909 tobacco
is also moving, but the big sale we re-
ported last week came as such sur
prise as actually to startle the trade.
These goods have been a nightmare to
packers and they will be mighty glad
to see the last of them. But all will
not be sold as cheap as the packing
lately bought in the country by George
Hoffman, 200 or 300 cases, reported to
be at seven and half cents.
The cold nights of last week were
not good for the plants, and the condi-
tons lately have been anything but
favorable for backward tobacco. Top
ping is now going on, and it is being
topped low, in order to give the leaves
the fullest possible development. And
there has been some cutting too, but
not much, for there has been so far
very little ready for cutting.
The cigar industry in this district,
and in Lancaster county particularly,
is lust about fair

Now that business in the state house
has squared away following the adj
journment of the legislature and the
departments are getting down to rou-
tine again, it is found that under the
budget system a great many adjust
ments must be made, if the $37, 900, 900
appropriated for the biennial period is
to be used up. Already number of
new positions have been created and
others are in process of incubation,
while several salaries have been in
creased to conform to the new order of
things. The budget system, undoubt-
eddy, is the correct principle, but when
it is turned over to Wisconsin politi-
clans, the hope of the taxpayer for re-
lief from the ever increasing burden
goes glimmering, unless the officials in
charge of the various departments of
state government at once take up the
serious business of hewing close to the
line. The legislature itself increased q
large number of salaries under one pre-,
text or another and then turned over
to the departments of state budget
plan with liberal allowances for each
department and gave to the heads Of
the departments power to determine
for themselves the number and quail
fications Of their subordinates and the
salaries which they are to receive. AnC
now from the fact that several of the
more important employees in a number
of the departments have already haC
their salaries increased, it is but fail
to suppose that this will occur all dow
the line, at least until it comes to tn,
janitors and scrub women, who, il
fact, of all the workers about the stat,
house, are the most faithful and SHOULD
be considered in this connection NOR,
than any others. Just what will hap
pen in this regard it will be most inter
esting to note hereafter. = Madison

How many of the millions of people
who sit at the steering wheel of their
automobile realize how greatly the
smashing effects of collision are in
creased by an increase of the speed?
Those who have been through a smash
and survived-have a more or less in
telHgent appreciation of this relation
ship. 1t would be interesting to learn
how many out of every one hundred
drivers of automobiles are aware of the
fact that the destructive effects of an
overturn or a collision are increased,
not in proportion to the speed, but to
the square of the speed. A driver who
has touched the curb or "side-wiped"
a fence at ten miles an hour and es-
capped with unexpectedly small injury,
is surprised at the damage which en-
sues in case of a collision at 20 miles
an hour, and perfectly dumfounded-
should he survive the disaster-at the
havoc wrought when the speed is 80 or
90 miles an hour. If he were conscious
of the fact that the smashing energy
was four times as great at 20 miles an
hour as at 10, nine times as great at 80
miles an hour, and sixteen times as
great at 40, he might still contemplate
the wreckage with dismay, but not
with astonishment. The moral of this
as applied to the automobilist is, that
an increase in his speed is most i'm

of vigilence and caution, for nicer

SOME day the farmer may wake up
to the fact that all the fun he has been
having going for the railroads and 9th
err great corporations is coming home
to roost right on his own farm. Every
tendency Of the so-called tax reformers
is toward higher assessments on land
and toward the single land tax. 1t is
hard to make the farmer understand
that after all the hullaballoo of years,
the trusts that have been ''dissolved'
are mot only making money out of it
but they are assessing all the costs
back upon the consumer. 1t is nice
endless chain, this scheme of "taxing
the other fellow" and the only man
who can escape it is he who has nc
taxes to pay and who neither eats nor
wears clothes That man is ga dead
