indictment charging Glrton with as

In speaking Of the case this morn
ing one of the members Of the jury
declared the entire affair to have
been nothing more than a farce.
THAT the county should be put

THE testimony Of the plaintiff was
conflicting, especially that portion
charging Girton with having fired
several shots The entire affair was
merely an attempt to settle a private
and personal dispute in the courts
at the expense Of the taxpayers,
when, as a matter Of fact, it appears

thus avoid future trials. The costs
of the trial are estimated to be In
the vicinity of $4,000 or $4,000.

IN LITTLE FALLS.
WAGES P|T|FULLY SMALL
Half of Men Receive Less Than Nine

Albany, NJ Y, March 19.-The re-

the Little Falls textile workers
brought to public attention by the. re-
cent strike---was made public today
Certainly it is matter of grave
public concern the report says
when considerable body of wage
earners are found living in such con-
ditions as are revealed by this re-
port There Is reason to suppose
that more or less similar conditions
are to be found elsewhere"
The investigators state that prior
to the strike, half of the men workers
received weekly wage of 50 or less,
while half of the women received
less than $3.50.
"The settlement of the strike" the
report adds. made but little, If any
change in conditions as to wages"

filled with water ashes, waste, gar

Sleeping rooms are small and es-

Overcrowding is the rule. Owing to
ignorance of the need of fresh air

constantly closed, even the cracks be-

the sleeping rooms is charged with
odors from the kitchens, the wash =

as a kitchen, while all others are

the geographical knowledge of that
land In 1864 he returned to England
and spent one year
He set out for Africa again in 1865.
In this last stage of his career he
sought to solve the problems of civili-
zation, the suppression of the slave
trade and the opening of central
Africa. The knowledge of the re-
sources Of this land hitherto un-
known to the world, is largely due to
Livingstone 1T was in this period of
his work that he gave most attention
to geographical exploration and sought
the source of the Nile Previously
he had crossed the continent from
the Zambesi to Congo, and again from
Loando to Cuilimane, and had made
the discovery of Lake Nyassa.
For several years no word came
from the great explorer and it was
generally supposed that he had per-
ished in the African Wilds. The story
of how he was sought and found by
Henry M. Stanley, the American jour-
nalist, is one ofrthe most thrilling in
all history. After Stanley had found
him, the two Travelled together for a
time, but Livingstone persistently re-
fused to return with Stanley to civili-
zation.
In poor health and becoming weaker
with each day Of travel, Livingstone
was one day found by an attendant
kneeling lifeless by his couch. The
place of his death was on the south
shore Of Lake BangWeoli, and the date,
May l. 1873.
The body of the great missionary
and explorer was embalmed and
brought home and on April IA, 1874,
the remains We're inferred with i'm
pressive ceremonies in Westminster
Abbey.
In connection with the centenary
celebration, the London Missionary
society has raised a $4,000 fund to
found memorial station in Africa
while the directors of Charing Cross
hospital, where Livingstone studied
medicine, have started a similar fund
for the building of new wing to the
hospital as a memorial to Dr. Living
stone.

of all that is best among the working
people of Scotland. AS boy the fu-
ture missionary worked in cotton
factory and his life from the begin
ming to the end was one of pluck and
endurance.
He saved his money and put it into
books which he studied diligently un-
til he was able to enter the University
of Glasgow. His purpose was to study
medicine. but after a short time at
the university he turned his attention
to the subject of theology. His knoWl-
edge of both medicine and theology he
turned to good account in his mis-
sionary work later.
In 1910 he went to Africa under ap-
pointment of the London Missionary
society. The first stage of his work
was that of the teacher and preacher
and founder of mission stations. But
he soon became dissatisfied with the
prevailing methods and his character
istic impulse urged him to go further,
gaining the confidence of the natives
by his medical service during a 700
mile trip into the interior.
The second stage of Livingstone s
missionary work was conceived on
broad lines. Colonization and trade
were combined with mission teaching.
Christian civilization became his OBJ
ject. With the aid of government sup

with the association, Milton d. Purdy,
attorney for the lumberman's organi-

that the two men owned small yards,
not sufficient to meet the business de-
nands of their localities.
Mr.. Purdy said that when a man
opens a lumber yard with only few
hundred dollars worth of stock, ol
when he enters business solely to get
lumber at wholesale prices for his
own use, he is not entitled to shipments
from manufacturers. This is the con-
tention of the defense, he said.

David Livingstone and Shuttle Row,
in Blantyre, near Glasgow, Scot
land, where he was born.

London, March 19.-The Tooth an
niversary of the birth of David Liv-
ingstone, the famous missionary and
explorer, was celebrated today in
many parts of the United Kingdom.
In London, Glasgow, Edinburgh and
other ictes largely attended meetings
were held in observance of the cen
tennial.
London's contribution to the general
observance of the anniversary includ
ed several notable features. In the
afternoon a meeting was held at the
rooms of the Royal Geographical So
ciety and a free church thanksgiving
service took place in New Wesleyan
hall, Westminster. These We're fol-
lowed by a great public demonstra
tion in the Royal Albert hail. at which
the Archbishop of Canterbury pre-
sided. Among the speakers We're Lord
Balfour of Burieigh, Sir Harry john
stone, the African explorer; DR.. Ward
law Thompson, secretary of the Lon
don Missionary society, and the ven-
cradle Sir John Kirk, who was an
intimate friend and companion of Dr.
Livingstone.
In the popular mind the name of DR.
Livingstone is associated chiefly with
the exploration of the Dark Conti
nent" But greater and more fruitful
than his work Of exploration was his
work as a Christian missionary AS
an explorer he tracked deserts and
described the wealth of the country,
in it's plants, fruits and minerals. AS
a missionary he strove for freedom
and security among the natives, ac-
quainted them with the ways of civili-
zation, and by striking a blow at the
slave trade commenced a new era for
the natives and for the traders who
wished to carry on legitimate trade.
Born in Scotland.
Livingstone was born March 10, 1S13
on the banks of the Clyde, at Blan-
tyre, in Lanarkshire. Scotland. His
parents were splendid representatives

SHOOTS BUFFALO OFFICIALS

Buffalo, N. Y, March 19.--Joseph
Stefunski a cowboy from deyser,
Mont, apparently demented, threw the
city hall into a panic this afternoon
when he entered the mayors office
and opened fire on the clerks and a
policeman on duty there, with a re-
volver. Charles F. Lang, a police
man, who grappled with the man, was
shot four times, but probably will re-
cover.
Stefunski called twice at the
mayors office this morning, asking for
Mayor Fuhrmann or his secretary.
This afternoon he called for the third
time and asked Charles Egloff, license
clerk, for the mayor. Egloff told
him the mayor was out.

While Lang, who had overheard the
demand for money, walked toward
him. The sight of the officer appar-

reason why"
Lang closed with Stefunski, but was
unable to seize the revolver. Ste

lodged in Lang's neck and shoulder.

antagonist and began to reload his
