WRIT SOUGHT IN
MOVE To FREE
NEGRO LEE
Attorney for Waterman Declares
Client Knows Nothing of the
Actual Crime,

Bernard L. Chappell. attorney for
Newt Lee, negro night Waterman
at the pencile factory, held in the Pha-
gan case, stated Thursday morning
that he would swear out a writ of
habeas corpus for the release of the
negro.
Attorney Chappell stated that he
had come to. the conclusion that there
was nothing the negro knew about
the crime except finding the body, and
that the State had no right to keep
him without some charge or as a
material witness.
Lee was the first suspect arrested
in connection with Mary Phagan,s
murder. He was ordered held by the
Coroner, but when a bill of Indictment
was offered the Grand Jury at the
same time of the Frank indictment,
no action was taken against the ne
gro.
Weak Spots in Conley Tale.
Chappell said the writ of habeas
corpus would compel the State either
to order the negro held as a material
witness or make some charge against
him
Conley, in relating his dramatic tale
of carrying the body of Mary Phagan
from the rear of the second floor and
disposing of it at the direction of
Frank in a dark corner of the gloomy
basement, said that when he reached
the elevator he had to wait until
Frank went into his office for a key
to the elevator door.
The defense will maintain, 1t is I'M
derstood, that the elevator door had
not been locked for some time. Wit
nesses will be called to testify that
the door had remained unlocked in
accordance with instructions from the
firms with which the building was
insured. From this alleged circum-
stance, ii will be argued that the ne
gro's story is fabrication devised to
shield himself from the charge OF
murder and to shift the responsibility
onto another man.
To Assail Whole Story.
This is only one particular Of at
least a score which will be aSsailed
by Attorneys Luther T. Rosser and
Reuben r. Arnold, who are represent
ing Frank. They Will say in the first
place that the elevator was not run
ming at all on the day OF the crime
in spite OF Conley's story that the
body was carried down to the base
ment by this means. Harry Denham
and Arthur White, who were working
on the fourth floor Of the factory, will
be called TO testify to this
With the defense and prosecution
awaiting the day when the great le-
gal battle which will send Frank 70
the gallows or free him from the
stigma Of the murder charge shall
begin, Franks lawyers are occupying
much of their time in making a criti-
cal ANALYSIS of the succession OF weird
statements credited TO the negro from
the time he said he wrote on the
Friday before the murder at the die
tation of Frank the notes .hat were
found beside the body of the dead
girl until,he issued his last affidavit.
The negro admitted lie story #
writing the notes on Friday was false,

CURRENCY BILL
SURE To PASS,
SAYS CRISP
Georgia Congressman Believes
Wilson Measure Will Not Be
Altered by Senate or House.

Congressman Charles R. Crisp Of
the Third Congressional District, who
is spending a few days in Atlanta,
believes that the Wilson currency bill
will pass Congress without particular
amendment, and that it will be the
law before the summer is over.
Mr.. Crisp said:
The House, feel sure, will pass
the measure promptly, and I think
the Senate will follow suit, although
Of that am not so certain.
THE House has 1t in committee
now, but my understanding is that
the committee is inclined to bring
1t out as 1t was sent in, and as the
President desires. It generally Is re-
garded in the House as an admirable
measure and the President is given
credit for genuine craftsmanship in
framing it.
Senator Owens, who will have it
in charge in the Senate, be-
lieves that it will pass the Senate
pretty much as it comes from the
House, although it seems reasonably
sure that a fight will be made on
it there.
THE bill is looked upon by a ma
jority of Congressman as necessary,
following the tariff legislation. and
think it Will pass largely on that I'M
Outstanding.
President Wilson's personal appeal
to Congress in this matter undoubted-
ly had a tremendous effect in hasten
ing things"
Mr.. Crisp will remain in Georgia
week or so, as the House is doing
nothing now, awaiting the coming of
the currency bill from the House
Committee and the action of the SEN
ate on the Underwood tariff bill

BERRY GROWERS NEED
TO Use GREAT CARE.
Preparation of Soil of Utmost
Importance-Must Con-
serve Moisture.

This is the season when berry
growers should give their best at
tention to the soil. Much more
depends on doing the proper thlnS
at the proper time than many peo-
pie suppose, says the Puyallup VAL
| ley Tribune. The days OF haphaz-
ard methods are past and the grow
er who is going TO be at the fore
front when the returns are made is
the grower who gives the closest at
tenton to details.
Extreme care should be taken in
blowing and cultivating at this sea
son. Mistakes in this regard are
| Injurious and ofttimes fatal. DC
casionally, through the summer, the
lgrower finds the leaves on MS
canes off color. The chances are
F, that this caused by too deep plow-
ing. too close TO the canes, where
by many of the feeding roots are
Eeut off. Particularly may this be
the case with red raspberries. whose
roots come much nearer the sur
race than do those of most other
berries. Earlier in the season il is
OF the rows. But not more than
two burrows should go deep and
when within six inches of the canes
the burrows should not be more
than two inches deep. First cult
walton can be done deeper than any
subsequent one.
In addition 10 this, extreme care
must be takne 10 prevent too great
an escape of moisture while eulti-
waiting. The grower who uses on
ly one horse should plow for half
a day and then harrow what has
been plowed. II the soil is allow

more moisture will escape than
can be supplied by several hours
hard rain.
II two horses are used one should
pillow while the other should tol-
low in the next row aud cultivate
The finer the soil is pulverized. the
less moisture will escape. More par
ticularly is the foregoing the fact
in the spring than in the fall. In
the fall the land should be plowed
and permitted TO stay open all WIN
ter TO allow the rains TO penetrate.
Otherwise much of the moisture
will run off.
| All weeds and grass should be
| taken out of the rows. as they roo
| the soil of much fertility that
| should be conserved. Berries or all
kinds need all the sustenanee con-
tanned in the soil. To feed worth
less growths with what should by
rights go to the berry plants Is
very poor policy.

TWO IkFINITIES?
Mathematician Know Betten Than to
Think of Space and Eternity.

Can there be two kinds of inf1nities;
or two infinite spaces? The nearest
star is distant $4,000, 900 000. 900 miles.
Go write a row of units HILL. to the
star and let each unit represent 1 mile;
of Is, 5000, 0OJ, 900, 900 miles long, sub
merges all human powers of magma
ton. But write a row of 222222... 25,-
900, 900, 900 900 miles long, then the num-
Der of miles represented would be twice
as great. Then write a row of 999999...
equally as long, and the distance ex-
pressed would be nine times as great
as that represented by the Is. But no
human mind can think of the distance
expressed by the Is. Let the first row
of figures extend $4,000 O00, 100000 or 50.-
600 OOO, OO0, 900 or 1000, 600 600 00O, 900 miles

tended toward the west. Many mill
lions of years would be required. to

write IS both ways during 1000. 900, 900

would be thinner than a spiker's thread

BRICK PLANT BRIDGE.
1t Was opened Today After Many
Delays.

The bridge across the Kaw opposite
the brick plant west of Topeka has
been completed. and was opened to-
day. The county commissioners in
spected the bridge on Thursday, and
voted to accept it at their meeting
yesterday afternoon. The work was
in the hands of the Leavenworth
Bridge company, which completed the
steel structure at a cost of $29, 800.
The contract was let more than a
year ago. The company promised to
have the bridge completed by January
1, 1913, but ill luck pursued the I'M
dertaking.
Shipments of steel were delayed,
two spans were washed away by
heavy spring rains, the cement was
imperfect. When the flooring was
finally laid, it was condemned by the
county engineer. After a series of
difficulties, the bridge was completed.
A loop for motorists and drivers is
made by the connection of the bridge
with a township road joining the lower
Silver Lake road and Highland ave-
nue., which connects the Sixth avenue
road at Gage park with the south end
of the bridge.
The new bridge is 1850 feet long
and 16 feet wide. At low water the
floor clears the river by Is feet and
6 inches. The bridge replaces the
one washed away by the flood of 1903.
The county pays $4,000 for the
bridge, and the Rock Island railroad
$4,000. The bridge crosses the tracks.
The county auditor has been instruct
ed to collect the money due from the
Rock Island.

BUILDING A BATTLESHIP.
Two Years Too Short a Period fol
the Modern Dreadnought.

Some interesting figures are given by
Mr.. Alexander Richardson. of Engineer
ing, regarding the number of man-hours
required to build battleships in order tc
support the contention that two years Is
too short period for the completion of
the larger and more powerful ships of the
present day.
The battleship of fifteen years ago hav-
ing length of 800 feet and a displacement
tonnage of 1850 tons, involved in the CON
struction of the ship 5,273, 1858 man-hours;
at So hours per week and 80 weeks per
annum this required, for the hull alone
the employment for two years of over
1900 workmen. The first dreadnoughts
required 5,4S9, S63 man-hours, and the Iron
Duke class, of $50 feet in length and 25ON
tons displacement, involved 200, 600 mar
hours, or about $500 men for two years.
Only about 1000 men can be engaged on a
ship without getting in each others way.
The corresponding figures for the con
struction of propelling machinery
equally interesting. The reciprocating en-
gines of the battleship of fifteen years
ago. of 1850 horsepower. required 1,7S9OOc
man. hours while the turbine machinery
of today, of more than double the power,
requires /. $4,000 nan-hourS. The small
increase is explained by the fact that
whereas in the case of reciprocating en-
gines only some So per cent of the cost
was for material, the remaining 40 per
cent being for labor. the material for .tur-
bines. much of it machined ready to hand,
notably the blading, absorbs Y per cent
of the total cost, leaving only Is per cent
for labor.-London Chronicle.
