KILDED UNCLE TO PROTECT ?
Woman Wins Freedom by Dramatic
Statement at Commitment Trial.

Calhoun, Ca, March 26.-At the
8 preliminary trial in the Chapman
murder case held here this afternoon,
Mrs. Charles Chapman, who was
believed to be the principal in the
tragedy, startled the court by max
ng full and free confession or nav
mg taken the life of her uncle, Sid
Chapman, last Saturday morning.
Immense crowds attended the trial
and the court house was packed 10
yts utmost capacity.
Quite a number of witnesses were
examined and all the facts were
brought out as to occurrences imme-
diately following the killing.
Two Women on Stand.
Some damaging testimony was
given against the defendant which
tended to show that she had made
threats upon the life of Sid Chapman.
When the States case was made out
the defendants, accompanied by
their counsel, retired for few min
utes, and when they came into court
again statements were heard from
both women.
Mrs. Starnes, the gray-haired mo-
ther Of Mrs. Chapman, went on the
stand and stated that she knew moth
ing whatever about the killing. She
said she was asleep until late the
morning it took place and did not
hear the sound of the gun.
When the young woman took the
stand to make her statement, the
crowded court room was tense with
suppressed excitement.

released with her mother and hus-

the arbitrament of arms to decide
whether or not the framBrs OF the
constitution had the power to break

The rapidity with which Jerusalem
is extending, through the return Of
the Jews in such large numbers to
the city of their forefathers, has rem
dered these improvements necessary.
Indeed, to the north and west of the
old city there have sprung up within
the last decade large Jewish colonies
populous residential sections. as well
dc converts, hospices, institutions,
schools and other buildings, with the
result that to-day there is a greater
Jerusalem without the walls than
within.
Four separate tramway routes are
to be laid down. They will all start
from the Jaffa Gate, the principal
entrance into the city, and run out
side the city walls through the newer
parts of Jerusalem. The first. which
will have length of about two
miles, will give easy access to what
may be termed the business quarter
Of the Holy City, while the second, of
similar length, will link up the large
Jewish colonies to the north with the
city's principal entrance. The third
will encircle the oli city, embracing
many Of it's most historic sites such
as Gordon's Calvary, believed by
many to have been the scene of the
CrucifiXion; the Tomb of the Kings,
the Mount of olives and the Valley of
Jehosaphat.
The fourth line will run from the
Jaffa Gate to Bethlehem. some six
miles distant, traversing what is per-
haps the most sacred thoroughfare in
the world. 1t teens with reputed
holy places-sacred wells, tombs and

The city walls, which have cir
cumference of about three miles and
rise in places to a height OF 3S1A

government for sale as building ma
teral. 1T is expected, however, that
efforts will be made to save isolated
sections, more particularly the mas

Der Of players that each club could

This number, II may readily be seen,
is entirely too small, as a team left

II the limit were set at fifteen the
plan would work out wonderfully.
Fifteen men would leave the infield
and outfield intact and allow the

which to operate when bolstered up
by the recruits.
I UNITING a teams reserve list to
II fifteen, it would mean that many
players, OF no value to one team eX-
cept in substitute positions, could be
obtained by a club that has need for
their regular services. The case of
the Philadelphia Athletics is a sample
Connie Mack has some mighty good

infelds and in this way the clubs
fielding strength would be increased
and the player would be given a
chance to show his real worth and
make himself valuable enough to
earn more money than he now does

Such a scheme, it seems, would
tighten up the league races and
make baseball a better paying prop

every one of the first division teams

that is far better than the first de
Tense of the tail-end clubs.
The same is true concerning the
pitching STATS II the fifteen players
reserve rule were in effect 1t would
mean that many Of the first division
clubs would have TO let their second
string pitchers go to some one OF
the other clubs not SO we'll fortified.
THE league could appoint a com
mittee of magnates to set a
valuation on every player that
was not included in the reserve list.
Each club that wanted a particular
player could put in a request for him,
II more than one club wanted a
player, lots could be drawn under the
same system as during the drafting
season.
In case no major league made a
bid for the player who was on the
market then the class IA teams
would be permitted to hid for him.
II they made none. the class A teams
would be given chance, and so on
down the list. The minor league
