.GARLAND JAILED
 PROMISES TALE
 OF CROSS WILLS
Almost Nervous Wreck Over Arrest Has Given Detective Much Information That Is Being Corroborated.

With the failure to secure $1O. 900 bonds Frank M Garland was yester- day taken a prisoner to the county jail where he will await trial next week. His professed wife secured ac- comm citations at the Hotel Stratfield that she might be near him and secure such aid as possible.

 That Garland is on the verge of be- ing nervous wreck and in the hope of staying the tide which might at least greatly inconvenience his present plans and enterprises, will make pub lie all the details of the Cross will codfci1s. is the statement today of the man who brought him to Justice.
 At the county jail Instructions have been left with the keepers to prevent his communicating with others beyond the jail, and it is expected that the police within a few days will have full facts upon which other arrests may be asked.
 A further examination of the meth ods used in transferring securities at a Shelton bank in the dead of night is among the features of the case which will be looked into within a, few days.
 No action as yet has been taken by Judge Foster, representative. of the Cross heirs in this city, whom it was intimated was searching for Garland for his New York clients.
 Judge Wilder, of the firm of shan mon & Wilder, who drew up the origi- nal will at the request of Mrs. Hannah Cross has not been retained to repre- sent Garland but his testimony is ex- pected to be heard at the coming trial of Garland.

 It was a blow at the Kaiser's cal culation that, in such a, crisis, India a would be in rebellion against the mother country Instead, India, down to the last of her nearly FOO states, has come to the aid of the home Gov eEnment.
 The Commons cheered itself hoarse and wrung its hands in patri- ptic joy, as the Government unfold ed the catalogue of men and muni- lions and transports, comprising a ed by the TOO Princes of India for the support of the Empire.
 Then came pledges of amounts of money, even of personal jewels, and offers of individual service from the Princes Of the East.
 Among these was the demand of the Gaekwar Of Baroda, though sew enty years old, of. his right to take the field and to bring with him his grandson. aged sixteen a

In the course of a lecture on Gov ernment Finances and Social Life In Japan" before the Japan society in London. Kengo Mori, financial commis sioner and attache for the imperial Japanese government, said that in the olden days gentlemen tried to keep aloof from all money transactions. Of course there were borrowers and lend CTS then, as there are today, and even among the SamuraI class. But their agreements, if written at all, were al ways worded in a manner characteris- tic of the spirit of the times.

Mvstified the Missionarv. ,

1t is well known that some of the most determined and powerful oppo- nents that missionaries have to meet in India are those who profess to be able to work wonders such as the magicians of Egypt used to support their religion. One missionary decided to test what they could do, so be asked one of them fora demonstration of his power, The magician asked the mis- sionary if he had rupee. The latter produced one from his pocket, showed 1t and was asked to hold it tightly in his hand The juggler was seated on his carpet about six feet away from the missionary
 ..Are you sure you have the coin?" he aslzed
 -sOh, yes, Twas the reply.
 .'Now, then, open your hand,r said the juggler.
 The missionary did so with great eau tton, but all his caution was in vain, for there leaped from his hand small snake, which the juggler immediately seized, at the same time taking out of his bag the rupee which belonged to the missionary !-London Family Her aid.

All for New buildings

One of the most enthusiastically
received talks was that of M. H.
Malott, president of the Citizens
bank. After calling attention to
the many activities of the high school
and the splendid work of its faculty
this year he showed the handicaps
under which the teachers work and
the great need of the city for new
high school building. "The average
home in Abilene pays taxes on about
$1,000" said he. "A levy Of one
mill on the 100000 valuation Of
the district would raise an abund-
ance to care for an appropriation
for an up to date building and give
money for keeping a high class fac
ulty with the extensions In work de-
manded by the times. 1t would
cost the average taxpayer one dol
lar year. Can you spend dollar
any better? Our schools are not
merely a preparation for college
they are a preparation for life"
His talk was applauded by the large
audience and met with hearty Sap-
proval.
