WANTS NEW TRlAL

Athens, Ca, Sept. 25.-The hearing
on the motion for new trial in the
case of J. w. Griffin, formerly presi
dent of the defunct Athens Trust and
Banking company, who on July 5 was
sentenced to six years and six montha
in the state penitentiary for wrecking
the bank Of which he was the head
which was set for today, is attract
ing considerable interest in legal and
official circles owing to the peculiar
circumstances upon which the motion
is based.
The case was tried before Judge
Brand Of the Clark county superior
court and a jury during the first week
of July. After the Judge had charg-
ed the jury the latter withdrew 10
consider the case. Before returning
to his home in the evening, Judge
Brand stopped at the court house and
through the door Of the jury room, in
the presence Of the sheriff and The
bailiff, called to the members Of the
jury and asked them whether they
wished to retire for the night. They
declared that they had agreed on a
verdict and would be ready in few
minutes, but that they desired further
advice from the court as to their
rights to make recommendations re-
garding the punishment. Judge Brand
declared that he could not make any
statement to them till the defendant
and his attorneys and the states at
torney were present He sent for
them at once and explained the situa-
tion.

Griffn's attorneys, had heard Judge
Brands statement, he made a milton

Odd Transfer of ConVicts
A most remarkable case of its kind
was the recent transfer without any
guard whatever Of a group of convicts
from the state farm at Valatie, New
York, to the Great Meadow prison al
Comstock. There were eight Of them
all long term men, three having
been convicted Of manslaughter. Ac
cording to the farm authorities their
prison records were so good that nc
fear was entertained Of any attempt
to escape when thus placed on theil
honor, although a lay over of nearly
an hour at Albany afforded ample op
portunity. All were dressed in over
alls, except one young member of 9

resplendent in new suit of clothes

SCHOOL PARTIES

We would like to see some high and
mighty authority established or dis
covered this year that could regulate
school parties and limit them to once
month or once in two weeks at
most, in each grade, says the Jewell
(Kas.) Republican. When boys and
girls are out until midnight two OF
three nights week it's cinch that
they can make no headway in their
studies; and there are other obiec-
tions to the party business, especially
when long late trips are made into
the country, There are usually two
or three girls in each grade who are
party crazy, the Republican says fur
ther. These are organizers and the
ones who start things" and keep
them going Parents might squelch
such girls by refusing to open their
doors to any party if another has
been held In that grade during the
month, or by refusing their children
permission to attend if a place is
hired for holding IT. Well conducted
parties at reasonable intervals are all
right, but the party business can be
oyerdone to the injury of the young
people and the schools.

trial upon the ground that Judge
Brand. without the presence of the
defendant or his attorneys and without
their consent, had had communication
with the jury in regard to the case.
After some heated argument Judge
Brand overruled the motion, called
the jury in and after having given
them further instructions, sent them
back to their room to decide upon
their verdict. In a short time the jury
returned, found Griffin guilty, but re-
commended him to the mercy of the
court. Griffn's attorneys promptly
submitted motion for new trial
and the hearing was set for today

STOPPING WORK

Thomas Edison has been advised by
his physicians not to take another va
cation. He took one some time since,
the first for eight years, and was Sc
riousIy i'll little later. The doctors
thought It was the direct result of
knocking off his regular 16-hour day
work schedule.
The theory is the same as that con
cerning various habits. If man
uses tobacco, which is a poison, the
system starts to work to prepare an
antidote. II he keeps using tobacco
his system keeps manufacturing anti
dote If he stops tobacco suddenly
his system goes right on for a time
manufacturing its antidote, which,
like many poison antidotes, may be
poison itself with the agent it was
meant 10 act upon out of the way.
Mr. Edison is one Of the hardest
workers in the world and 1t is pre-
sumed his system long ago got in the
habit Of manufacturing a hard-work
antidote until now he doesn't dare
quit wortine entirely without being
IN dancer If being poisoned by him
self Bosh2 Perhaps So But Mr..
Edison's doctors are good doctors and
that is their theory.
The way to do, Of course, is to take
a lesson from nature. After a long,
tireless summer Of effort, nature does
not settle down into winter rest all
in jiffy Rather, she quits work
gradually, letting loose like an old
man turning his business over 10 his
sons And the next spring she doesn't
start to work with full sails spread.

weather The locality was without a
good soaking rain from the third week
in May to the second week in Septem-
Der. One week ago the Peru Can
ming company had picked 35 tons of
tomatoes from ten acres, and there
we're at least that many more toma-
toes on the vines to ripen. This is not
a heavy yield, but it is remarkable
in the drought.
The Peru Cannsng company ac-
counts for the result by its method
of scientific cultivation. The method
consists of setting a stake about six
feet high at each hill and training the
vine up the stake, pruning it so that
it will not spread over large area
of territory and compelling it to grow
high instead. Among the advantages
of this method Of cultivation are the
following:
The rows are planted only four feet
apart instead Of five and the vines
only three feet apart IN the rows in
stead Of five, making more than
twice as many vines to the acre.
That leaves plenty Of room between
the vines for cultivation and makes
it possible to cultivate yne field all
summer, thus conserving the moisture
and making fair crop even in, such
dry year as this.
More tomatoes are raised to the
vine The tomatoes ripen about two
weeks earlier. None of the tomatoes
lie on the ground to rot. More than
20 per cent Of the crop is lost in this
way under the old method of cultiva-
tion. The crop can be picked much
easier and more quickly.

Christian association of this city, on
Huntington avenue near the Boston
opera house, having reached its com

spection of the public today and this
evening will be formally dedicated at
a reception in the new building. Gov
ernor Eugene N. Foss of Massachu-

will attend the reception and are ex-

that occasion. About four years ago
the plan was proposed to erect a

the place Of the handsome but alto

required funds for the new building
a vigorous campaign was begun and
daily the amount of the aggregate
subscriptions was shown by means
Of the dial of a big clock displayed

Lincoln memorial structure, in Poto-
mac Park, on the axis of the capitol
and the Washington monument, held

DROWNED IN WISCONSE
Leonard Fielder, Aged 8,
Carried Beyond His Depth
While Bathing Sunday
Funeral this Afternoon.

Leonard, the 9-year-old son O
Mr.. and Mrs. John Fielder, who
reside a mile and three-quarters
north OF town, was drowned ii
the Wisconsin river at that point
about 8 p. M Sunday.
The boy in company with his
brother Harold, aged 10, and
Mark johnson, aged II years
had been bathing in the Wiscon-
sin river two bends below the
Short Portage bridge where they
had a play house. Leonard was
carried beyond his depth by the
swift current and the boys on
shore tried to rescue him with a
long pole but could not reach
him. Mr.. Fielder also waded
out in an attempt to reach his
son, but his efforts were futile.
lie ran to town and gave the
alarm and Immediately search
parties left for the scene of the
drowning. After about three
hours of searching the body was
recovered some twenty feet from
where it was last seen.
Short funeral services at the
farm home will be followed by
services at the Congregational
church at $50 this afternoon,
Rev. Griffith officiating Inter
ment will be made in the village
cemetery.
The sad drowning brings to
mind with serious intensity the
great freedom that children are
allowed around the numerous
lakes and streams in the vicinity
and it is hardly short of miracu-
lous that more fatalities do not
occur. However it is through
such sad lessons, regrettable as
they be, that parents are taught
and the drowning Of little
Leonard Fielder strikes deeply
into the hearts of many whose
own little ones may meet such
an end unless a more strict hand
is kept over them while so much
danger is near.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fielder have the
deepest sympathy of the commu-
nifty in their hour of grief
