isA Railnvn


Use Bailey
With. these words, Atty Levy,
counsel for Mrs. Florence Carman,
today outlined the exact defense he
will make to save the beautiful wife
of the Freeport physician from the
electric chair. He admitted that he
could not give the identity Of this
man murderer of Dr. Carman's pa
tient, but asserted ability Of the de-
tense to prove beyond a doubt that
the hand which shot death through
a window in DR.. CarmAn's Office was
a mans.
Levy said the defense will show
that on the day of the shooting Mrs.
Carman, her mother and daughter
went to town. Mrs. CaTman, he said,
came home suffering with a head
ache. She went upstairs to her room
to rest, the attorney said.
Later she called downstairs and
told Elizabeth to stop playing the
piano,p he said. Then she heard a
peculiar sound and put on a hmono
and slippers and went to the head OF
the stairs. She saw'the backs Of two
women leaving the office. She did
not 90 down to the Office at all.
"The doctor had previously told
her following the episode with the
nurse that If she ever entered the Of
fee again when patients were there
she would have to leave. That was
Why she did not go down"
Levy began his outline Of the de-
tense shortly before noon. The pro-
secution had rested with rebuttal ex-

events on the night Of the murder, as
given then differed materially from
the story She told on the stand yes

Far more pale and nervous than
her daughter, Mrs. Conklin, mother
of Mrs. Carman, appeared in court
for the first time today. She came
in with Mrs. Powell, sister Of the pris-
oner, and Elizabeth, the daughter OF
the accused.
The little, sweet-faced old lady was
visfbIy confused and she was on the
verge of tears as Mrs. Carman ap-
peared in the courtroom.
Seeing her mother, pleased smile
appeared on the prisoners face and
she hurried to her side. Mother and
daughter embraced, the latter cool,
collected and apparently perfectly at
ease. while the aged woman was
trembling violently and on the verge
Of tears.
The family remained in close
group, talking, until court opened.
Mrs. Carman is determined to go
on the stand to tell her own story.
She will deny every statement Of the
maid as to her being downstairs on
the night Of the shooting, or Of going
to her room the next morning, and
especially that she confessed the
shooting to her.

FRIDAY EVENING, FEB. %
THE BECKER CASE

IT seems to be an almost accepted
fact that Lieutenant Becker, now
remanded for new trial in con-
nection with the murder of the
gambler Rosenthal, may never again
face a jury.
This is all wrong. 1t is admitted
that If Becker escapes it will be on a
legal technicality. The bulk of the
evidence was strongly against him.
There was no apparent doubt as to
his guilt either on the part of the pub
lie or the jury If he was not the
man higher up" in the plot that re-
suited in the killing of RosenthaI, he
at least was representative of the
System" that was back of the mur-
der. There seems to be no doubt of
that.
Nevertheless, in the face of these
facts, friends of District Attorney
Whitman say that he may never press
for a new trial. and the likelihood is
that Becker will go free Whitman
faces grave responsibility in this. He
thus practically admits that the bar is
unable to obtain a conviction in the
face of overwhelming evidence point
ing to guilt, and that the judge on
the bench is ruled by legal technicali-
ties instead of the facts in the case.
The efficacy of the whole legal sys-
tenn of New York State, if not the
country at large, is at stake. The
plain duty of the District Attorney is
to do his full part in the matter. He.
displayed fine type of courage when
he first prosecuted Becker and the
men convicted with him. He must not
shirk now. The only thing he can do
is to move for a new trial, and that
promptly.
New York might take a lesson in
this respect from Pennsylvania. Men
of wealth and prominent in the State
were brought to the bar here for COM
plicity In the Capitol furnishing
frauds. Neither fear nor favor was
permitted to stand between them and
Justice. The facts in the case and not
the ingenious devices of clever law
yers governed the judge and jury. 1t
Is this kind of criminal law that New
York needs at this time.

THE POPULAR SONG

etkCHoULD the popular song be
censored? 2" asks the editor of
~ the "Woman's World" On
first thought we are inclined
to reply, no, it should be prohibited.
1t is pretty nearly a fault of the
language to designate both annie
Laurie" and that ribald snatch of tin
horn melody, when 1 Get You Alone
Tonight" by the common name of
song. There is about as much differ
ence between them as there is be-
tween the tinkle of sweet toned bells
and the croaking of family of frogs
in a puddle, with the difference in ia
vor of the frogs who never say any
thing offensive, no matter how dis
turbing their racket may be.
Listening to the crimes that are
perpetrated in every vaudeville house
in the country in the name of music
one must pause to wonder how the
performers "get ii over" Many of
all, but this variety seldom reaches
the stage that might be called "popu-
lar'-when hurdigurdies play them
and street urchins whistle them.
The attraction certainly cannot be
with the words. They often do not
even make sense. Eliminating the
words, then, there must be something
of merit in these tunes that do get
over" the footlights and which catch
the popular fancy. The Tilt, the time
and some haunting phrase in the re-
frain may be at the bottom of their
1t matters not. The tunes
persist until they are virtually worn
out by constant repetition.
The thing to do then, it would
seem, would be to let the composers
go their ways and get after the writ
ers of the words Eliminate the OBJ
jectionable sentiment and there will
be small harm in the popular song
tune, albeit little to elevate.

OLD FARMER scHNITzEL
BY Wing Dinger

BY Wing Dinger
Old farmer Schnitzel. who lives Just
outside of town,
l neffer knew q single soul to harm,
But there's vun thing dat makes him
mad as effer he can get,
He don't like no vun to trespass on
his farm.
Not long ago he stood upon his porch
und looked about,
For nothing in de vurld he gif a darn.
Ven all at vunce he noticed strangers
digging great big holes
Nit picks und shovels all around his
barn.
He walked up to de foreman und said:
wat you doin' here?"
Der foreman answered Ivy, we're
digging holes
Because der company wants dem for der
telegraphic line
Dat dey're goin' to run across der
farm on poles.'
IVY dis is my farm" Schnitzel said.
"und l don't know about
NO pole line vat l said could go in
here"
oh, dat's all right" the foreman said.
you see desc papers, veil
Nit dem I can do anythins-you
hear?'
Old Schnitzel turned upon his heel,
went over to his barn,
An angry bull he turned loose in der
yard,
Und all the men got out der way except
the foreman who
Vas taken quito completely off his
guard.
The chase began, the foreman ran
around the yard three times.
While Schnitzel laughed und on his
pipe did pull.
The foreman yelled for mercy, but old
Schnitzel only asked:
wy don't you show your papers to
der bull?"

IS estimated that he earned and spent
more than million dollars during
his career in the ring. He quit the
game broke and broken.
Now here is where Sullivan differed
from most other lighters Defeat and
loss of money usually precede physical
and moral ruin to the fighter. Not so
John L.! Five. years more of success
ful boxing and his magnificent body
would have been ruined by alternate
training and dissipation. But when
Sullivan found himself down and
out" physically and financially he
gathered himself together and set
about earning a living by other
means.
To-day he is married to quiet
little woman who does not know the
difference between the Marquis of
Queensbury rules and right arm jab.
He is bringing UP two little boys, not
his own, who would otherwise be
homeless, and he is running little
moving picture theater so successfully
that he will soon have enough money
laid aside to enab him to retire on a
comfortable comp petence in his old
age.
He has no more hankering for the
ring. The white lights hold no at
traction for him. He indulges in none
of poor old Bob Fitzsimmons' talk of
coming back" for Sullivan has
come back" in a way that beats
prize ring supremacy to a frazzle.
The lesson in this is that success
often lies in defeat, if we will only
see it, and that NOBODY is SO far down
that he cannot rise again if he is de-
termined to do SO.

VICE PRESIDENTIAL VIEWS

IT Is a grand thing for the country
that the personal views of a Vice
President do not have the weight of
those of his immediate superior.
Else one T. r. Marshall would be
keeping the nation in hot water half
the time and "cussing" his foolish
prattle the other half.
Just now he has chosen to express
himself in generalities that would
shame the wiseacre of a country cor
ner store. Says he, for example
100000 people annually come from
our schools to achieve success and
100000 are failures"
What constitutes failure? Is if
the sober, Industrious citizen who goes
about his daily tasks, year in and
year out, paying his debts, caring for
his family and obeying the laws? Or
is IT the favored son of political ,ip
heaval who, finding himself unexpect-
edly In office by a minority vote.
chooses to spend his time saying wise
sounding things that mean nothing?
Speak up, Mr.. Marshall. It's your
turn to say something.

GETTING AHEAD

= WING on a salary is a more or
less precarious form of exist
IL ence, but it is not wise for every
man to go into business for
himself. Some men are not fitted for
that responsibility, and there are a
great many failures of men who
strike out for themselves without suf-
icient backing of capital or expert
ence.
However, if you never save any
money out of your salary, you will
never get ahead financially. You al
ways will be the tail of another mans
kite, always stoking to keep up steam
in the boilers of somebody elses busi-
ness.
Plan your course so that you will
not always be dependent upon your
salary. Build up reserve fund.
From time to time make wise invest
ments, and in a comparatively few
years you may become independent,
and in the meantime you will be able
to do better work and more of it, be-
cause your mind will be relieved of
anxiety as to what would happen if
your regular income should fail.
How one salaried man got ahead is
told in this letter Chicago man wrote
to his savings bank:
1 was married in 1904 on salary
of SIS a month In November, 1910,
l was receiving $1S5 month. That
,.rt,, tar oh II nd
we had very little money in the
bank to pay for It, We determined
that we would save.
To show what people can do with
a fixed determination to succeed,
we began Immediately to save from
s35 to SIS month, and in eighteen
months 1 paid in sl,O50 on a lot
and sold my equity for $1,000 cash
and also paid back loan Of $50
with interest
Two days after received my
cash l reinvested my money in an
$4,000 lot. L then had about ST.
ed again | paid $3.50 cash on two
one for 1915 cash, making 5000 net
on transaction. That afternoon I
bought another one for $2,S00, pay
half days I sold my s275 equity for
$575, making 5000 on th~t lot
1 then had one lot left on which
had paid $1,000 down, keeping rhe
balance for investment. In about
five and half months / sold my
$1,000 equity for $4,000. November
II, 1913, | purchased another lot
for $2,638.
One does not need to deprive
himself of the comforts of life to
accomplish the foregoing results,
for we have lived very comfortably
and / have given my mother from
So to $40 per month during this
time, and last summer I purchased
motor boat and my family and |
spent three months at one of the
nearby lakes.
/ have a checking and savings
account also with about 5000 to my
credit after paying for my last lot.
l consider 1t worth any mans time
and interest to save and go with
out some of the luxuries of life. if
he can start with $40 in November,
1910. and have $4,000 cash in No
