ELECTRICALLY HEATED.

Correspondence of The Associated PressD
 Vienna, Nov. 5.-Austrian soldiers will not suffer from cold weather if the army adopts the new electrically heated garments which have just been invented by the professor of electrol- ogy at Innsbruck university. The cs- sential feature of the professors in- vention, according to the Austrian newspapers, is a method of weaving electric heating threads into soldiers pants and coats and then connecting the threads with a battery or supply wire at a distance of from 100 yards to a quarter of a mile. It is asserted that the current can be regulated so that any number of soldiers in the trenches can be kept warm simul- taneouSly.

four to six names. A glance at any Dutch directory brings to light many instances of family names being pre- ceded sometimes by nearly half the alphabet. However, the tax is evil dently not to be very heavy, as the to- tai amount it is expected to bring in only about $20O,000.
 Distilled liquors, tobacco of all kinds, beer, salt, sugar and playing cards are all to provide their share toward the increased government out lay, which, in consequence of the re- cent issue of loans, promises even to augment with the coming years, as the interest amounts to a large sum.

AERIAL WARFARE
 ON THE INCREASE
Germans Now Using Many New Types of A1mored Aeroplanes on
 Western Front

Correspondence of The Associated Press)
 London, Nov 11.-German air strategy has changed since last May, when, TOT a period of some montla5, lew German aeroplanes appeared near the allied lines on the western front. But the latest reports from Sir John French show that more than 2o0 air battles have been fought re- gently With the British aviators, by Wfofn sixteen German aeroplanes were brought down. These included several new types, besides the fla n1iliar Taube.
 inc new types the Germans have teeh experimenting with are modelled On the battleplane idea. One of these was big heavily armed biplane "ltn twin bodies and two or three engines. But it did not seem to be ehtlrely successful, as it was rather stow and unwieldly. Next to appear were two very similar biplanes of the ordinary tractor type with single but very powerful engines. The two used TO chase up and down the German lines at a terrific speed and with an unusual amount of noise, apparently to frighten away British airmen. Ap- parently they impressed the Germans as useful, as more of the same type made their appearance. Machine guns fore and aft, the range of the first limited by the propeller and the after gun having a clear field in an upward direction, gave them a cer- tain formidablenessa as scouts. Several of these were brought down by both British and French, but their num-

come into the latter category, has the task before him of convincing the Dutch public of the necessity of these inroads upon it's income. It is gen. orally assumed, however, in parlia- ment circles, that Dutchmen as 2, rule will coincide with him in the view that it is better to pay the higher taxes rendered necessary by the national defense than to leave the Netherlands open to violation by one or other of the fighting nations which might see fit to enter its territory ill order to further it's military ends.
 The sum of the increased annual appropriations for the Dutch army and navy (now together about $22,- 50O,0OO( does not appear very big when compared with the present mill tary budgets of other nations The Netherlands, however, make only a very small spot on the map and the addition for this purpose of $3,20O,- 900 to the already existing expenses of it's five million inhabitants is regard ed as a considerable further burden
 One Objection.
 One of the principal points of ob- jection by the Dutch public against the newly-proposed taxes is that con- corning the impost on railroad tickets Tn this proposition the Dutch govern ment has. knowingly or not, followed the example of Germany, where rail road travellers are taxed proportion ately to the class in which they travel The proposed tax here amounts to if teen per cent on the price of first-clasS tickets, eight on second and three on third. Laborers' communication tickets and schoolchildren's tickets are to es- cape taxation.
 Tax on Names.
 Another point has aroused discus

bers have nevertheless continued to increase of late. They keep largely 10 their own lines which seem to be the German plan of air strategy.
 The German plan is obviously to destroy the greatest number of enemy aeroplanes with a minimum loss to themselves. They do this by en- t;cing the foe over their own lines. It is an immense advantage to fight an adversary over ones own lines, as the airmen not only has the support of high angle guns below but can land within his own territory in case Of injury to himself or his machine.

PETROGRAD MODS RIOT
WHEN BUTCHERS WON'T SELL

Petrograd, via London, April 20.
-Petrograd butchers refused to
sell meat today, in. protest against
a recent government order warning
all retailers that prices must not
be raised above rates fixed by the
government. Customers who went
to the shops for their usual pur-
chases found them empty. They re-
ceived little encouragement from
the butchers, who said there was
no prospect that supply Of meat
would be available.
This action led to disorders and
in some shops excited customers
broke into the meat cellars and on
finding them we'll stocked insisted
that they be served. Incipient riots,
which resulted in the partial wreck
ing of several shops, were ended by
the police, who made an investiga-
ton as a basis for court procedure
against the butchers.

FRANK LOSES
FIGHT FOR Life
U. s. Supreme Court Denies He Was
Sentenced UncOnstitutiOnally
HIS LAST CHANCE GONE NOW?
Thirty Days Allowed for Lawyers to
Ask a Rehearing-Then Par.
don, or Death Believe
All Means Exhausted

Washington, April 20.-The SUI
preme court today held that the
state of Georgia had denied Leo M.
Frank no right under the federal
constitution in sentencing him to
death for the murder of Mary Pha-
gan, an Atlanta factory girl. the
court affirmed the action Of the
United States district court for
northern Georgia refusing to release
Frank on a writ of habeas corpus
Justice Holmes delivered dissent
ing opinion, in which Justice Hughes
concurred.
This decision, it is believed here
exhausts all means of fighting IN
the courts to save Franks life. His
attorneys will have, however, thirty
days in which to file an application
for a rehearing; then the courts
mandate will issue and apparently
only the possibility of pardon will
be between the prisoner and death
The habeas corpus proceedings
rested on the claim that the trial
court had lost jurisdiction over the
prisoner by reason Of mob domi-
nation" during the trial, and by
Franks involuntary absence at the
time the verdict was rendered. 1t
is claimed this denied him "due
process" as guaranteed by the fed
eral constitution.
The majority of the court held
that the findings by the supreme
court Of Georgia, that the alleged
"mob dominance" amounted to
nothing more than irregularities,
not prejudicial to Frank, should not
be disturbed upon the mere asser-
ton of the prisoner that the facts
were otherwise than as found.

BILE of filling.
Fifteen of the men, led by Don
M. Roberts, the mayor, came to the
prison in a special car and were put
through the entrance routine, while
six, under special permission of the
federal court at Indianapolis, came
unaccompanied. While guards and
officials on the train reported that
the convicted men had laughed and
joked on the journey from Indian
apolis, their demeanor, once inside
the prison, changed and officials
said they had never seen more
sober, better disciplined group OF
men.

ined before both sides announced
they were satisfied with the twelve
men in the box. Immediately after
the jury had been completed coun-
sci for Colonel Roosevelt made a.
motion to dismiss the complaint
against their client upon the ground
that such allegations as he made in
the statement upon which the suit
is based were privileged, and that
in naming Mr.. Barnes and Charles
F. Murphy of Tammany Hall as the
controllers of "rotten government
in the state of New York, he did
not mean anything personal or to-
imply that either of the two men
named had in any way profited by
the alleged "rottenness.
The motion was denied by Justice'
william s. Andrews, presiding.
Actual taking OF testimony will
begin upon the conclusion OF the
opening address of William M.
WINS, chief of Mr.. Barnes legal
staff. The first witnesses will be-
newspaper men to whom Colonel
Roosevelt issued the offending
statement.

OVID ITEMS

Ovid, Feb Bishop Lindsay,
whose health has been quite poorly
for some time past, will leave next
Monday for Los Angeles, where he
will spend a month or more in the
hope that the change of climate will
bring him relief. He will meet his
son Clarence in Salt Lake, who is re-
turning from his labors as q mission
ary in England. Clarence will take
charge of the store during his faith
ers absence.
John Petersen, who has been con-
fined to his bed for month or more,
is gradually growing weaker and the
doctors entertain no hope for his re-
covery.
Word was received here last Sat
urday that Jim Peterson had been
accidently shot in the thigh at an
early hour that morning, while at
tending to his duties as foreman of a
sheep camp near Idaho Falls. From
information received, it appears that
Mr.. Peterson arose before day light
and was out in the sage brush some
distance from the camp, when one OF
the herders mistook him for a coyote
and getting his rifle took shot in
| that direction. The bullet entered
Mr.. Peterson's thigh and ranging up
wards lodged in his abdomen. The
injured man was hurried to the hos
pital in Idaho Falls, where he is re-
ceiving every attention possible. The
last report from there was that the
bullet had been located. Mr.. Peter
son is about 80 years of age and was
raised in Ovid. His brother, Ira
Peterson, went to Idaho Falls Satur-
day to assist in caring for him.

play IA Woven Web" last night in
very creditable manner.
There are three basket ball teams in
Fish Haven and they have played quite
a number of games with the other teams
in the valley. The lead team has not
yet met defeat. The second team, known
as the Cubs, has been defeated only once,
and the smaller boys once. Altogether,
"A games have been played and out of
that number the Fish Haven teams have
been defeated twice. There will be an
other game here Saturday afternoon, II
all the boys in the valley took as much
interest in doing their work as they do
in playing basket ball, what an energet-
ic band of young men there would be.

BLACK DEFEATS WILKES

The boxing match at the opera
house last Monday night, between
Teddy Wilkes of Kemmerer and
Eddie Black of this city, was short
but lively affair, as the Kemmerer
lad went down for the count in about
the middle of the fourth round. The
first round was rather slow, with the
points somewhat in Wilkes favor,
although he was on the defensive
from the start. The second round
was a little livelier but was consid-
cred about draw as far as points
were concerned. In the third round
Black was more aggressive and it
was plain to be seen that Wilkes
welcomed the sound of the gong
The exhibition was brought to a
close early in the fourth round wher
Wilkes went down and out as re.
suit of clean cut blow on the jaw
M. S. Roberts officiated as referee
The exhibition was witnessed BY
something over hundred lovers o
that sport.
