BARRETTS, FOUND GUILTY OF
MANSLAUGHTER

A jury in Judge Kersten's court
yesterday, after four hours of de-
liberation, decided that Ed Barrett,
Hearst slugger, and his brother, Hen
ry, were guilty of manslaughter,
which carries with it sentence of
from one year to life.
Ed Barrett stabbed Walter Master
son to death in Tursch's saloon, 3415
Lincoln avenue, February 8. .
The verdict seemed to come as a
surprise to their relatives and friends.
When it was read they broke down
and had to be assisted from the
courtroom. 80
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-04-19

On the outside of the building a
serious clash between the Barrett
and aMsterson clan was only averted
by the timely arrival of few deputy
bailiffs. More trouble is anticipated
from the factions.
Edward S. Day, counsel for the
convicted men, made a motion for a
new trial. The motion will be heard
later.
Ed Barrett must still stand trial
with his brother, Charley, and Arthur
friedman on a charge of having
murdered Frank Witt, street car con-
ductor, last summer The Barretts
and Friedman then were employed as
gunner for the Hearst papers.

FOR SANITARY CELLAR
LIGHT AND VENTILATION ARE
THE THINGS MOST IN NEED.
No Apartment In the House 10 Of So
Much Importance az That In
Which Food for the Family
ls Stored.

The IDEAL cellar should be as light
and dry and clean as any room in the
house. 1t should have windows on OPP
posite sides, easily accessible and
easily opened. Air at night in sum-
mer, as to admit air warmer than the
inside air causes moisture to form and
trickle down the side walls. Remem-
Der heated house acts like a Chin
Dey, the movement Of the air being
from the bottom upward. If any one
doubts this, let him unstopper a bot
tie of ether or boil a kettle Of onions
In the cellar. then go to the top Of
even six-storied dwelling, and think
his sense of smell would soon convince
him that there is an upward draughtI
Of no mean abilities.
Indeed, German inventor has
proved that one-half the cellar air is
found in the first story, one-third in.
the second, one-f1fth in the third, and
so on, which impells us to think of
the cellar as a reservoir of air for the
entire house. A good coat Of lime
whitewash should be applied every
spring. No decaying vegetables or
rubbish of any kind should be stored
there. The cellar bottom and sides
should be preferably Of concrete.
Where coal is stored, 1t should be light
and dry, as the decomposition Of the
sulphides in the coal goes on much
more rapidly in a damp atmosphere.
Sulphides cause silver to tarnish.
The cold-air box of furnace should be
30 located that the outer air admitted
be as pure as possible, and 1t should
be 80 constructed that through no
cracks or crevices could the cellar air
be admitted to the heating chamber Of
the furnace.

Old Ship still staunch.

Said to be the Oldest ship in the
world in active service, the Copen-
hagen yacht Constance has been sold
to a fisherman of Skaw, in Jutland,
who will use the ancient craft in his
trade. The Constance was built one
hundred and ninety-three years ago,

into almost every port in the world.
Her timbers are still staunch, and her
new owner declares he can see no
reason why she should not sail the
seas for a century to come.

Representatives of eleven sand COM
panies met with the state executive
council here to discuss the new law
passed by the 1913 legislature, which
requires that a royalty must be paid
the state on all sand and gravel taken
out of navigable streams in the state.
The executive council will meet soon
to fix the amount of the royalty. Just
to get the matter of the size of the
royalty up for discussion at the meet
ing it was suggested by a member of
the executive council that a royalty
of 10 per cent of the gross earnings
be assessed on sand. A number of
the sand dealers who spoke on the
matter objected to that amount, say.
ing that If any royalty is assessed, s
per cent of the gross earnings would
be enough. An average price for sand
received by these companies is 20
cents per ton. 1t is not improbable
that some of the sand companies may
bring suit to test the law.

letter to Charles Sessions, secretary

discrepancies in the history of the
bill. He says that the bill as signed
by Governor Hodges never was pass
