 To questions from Attorney Day the witness said KrakAs was good looking man and told him he was seeking work. He has known Mont- vi1 four years and got him job when he first came to this country. He kept this job five months and went to New Bedford and did not return to Taun- ton for three years when he came back and opened barber shop on Washington street in Taunton. His onl- employee wa Charley Petracu- ka3, a cousin of the accused
 Steve Pauauchas, another Taunton ] m .n identified Montvid as an old &C., quaintance and said he knew Peter K ,akas. Montvid pulled nervously at his coat as he was pointed out by the witness. Witness saw Peter Krakas on the streets of Taunton about four week before last Christmas. The last time he saw him was "a ' couple of weeks before Christmas but never saw him in Montvid's barber shop. The witness saw Montvid on Christmas eve the last time. On this evening the accused shaved him, he said.
 At this juncture recess was de- clared until o'clock.
 Stanislaw Barron of Taunton iden- tified Montvid as a man who leased a barber shop of him in Taunton on August 2S, 1914. intending to keep it for five years. He disappeared short ly after Christmas, taking his effects with him. States Attorney Alcorn at this point introduced bill of lad ing and freight bill for a shipment of goods made by Montvid from Taunton to Chicago. John Barron, son of Stanislaw, told a story similar to that of his father and said he saw Krakas learning to shave in Montvids s shop.
 Jcweler Identified Loot

These, he said. were stolen from him when he was held up. The iewelry was found among Montvid's
 
 Krakas in Wilmington, Delaware.
 Local Man Identifies Montvid.
 Otto Breither of 330 Arch street, this city. testified to renting a room to Montvid and Krakas on January 20. The men said they were Charles Morris and "Jack Kelson' and appeared to be we'll supplied with money, Breither said. He identified a bag taken from Montvid in Whining ton as having been in his possession at the time he hired the room.
 Breither said that his roomers rop- resented themselves to be insurance agents. On February 3, Montvid said to Krakas: Did you read the letter we received from the home office to- day?'' Krakas winked. as a sign to keep silent, Breither said That night Krakas went away and Montvid said: "He will not be back for scv- eral weeks. We are not insurance agents but are detectiveA."
 Breither identified a portable type writer found in the possession of Mont yid in Wilmington as I1a1 Ing been in his possession in the Arch street house. The state claims that this machine was used by the accused to write black mailing letters such as were re- ceived by Rev. Lucyan Bojnowski.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE. - In the
worlds history it is noticeable that
peoples speaking the same language
generally refrain from war with each
other. Of course there have been
marked exceptions, as in the case of
the United States and Great Britain.
But even in this case for over hun
dred years have these two peoples
who speak English refrained from
wars. Looking at the land area of
the earth we find the British isles,
nearly half of Africa, India, Australia,
Canada, the United States, Alaska
and the Philippines either speaking
English entirely or destined to use it
ultimately.
This does not include all the spots
where English is used or understood.
Several ports and islands of the sea
belong to England and will or do use
English. There are other ports that
understand it as well as many people
on continental Europe.
Should the allies win, most of Ger
man Africa. would pass over to Eng
land. This would throw over half the
land area of the globe in the English
speaking class. This will make over
half the people of the. earth either
English speaking or destined to be-
come so. This can be said of no 9TH
er language. Possibly 400,000,000
Chinese can understand one another,
which puts this language second on
the list as to numbers.
: The Russian tongue with it's vast
people of 18O, 900, 900 comes next, al
though there are, no doubt, various
tribes who do not understand Rus
sian, The next on the list would be
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-06-11

either the German or Spanish
tongue. So we can go on indefinitely.
None of these peoples who speak
the various languages are willing to-
give up the language spoken and T
adopt another. So the confusion of
togues" goes on. D
But English is the easiest language +
to learn, which is proven every day ,
by the various foreigners who come
to America. They learn English in +
from two to six months so that they ,
can all be understood. This ought
to be argument enough for all peo- 4
pies to learn English. But to learn
English means the ultimate peace of
all nations. 1t may be far ahead, y
possibly a hundred or two hundred I
years, but l think the time is coming !,
when all children will be taught Eng
fish because of the love of the LAM
guage.
England and her colonies, together
with the United States, will not sur q
render English, so it is well to send a
out "missionaries" to all nations and n
virtually "sell'' or urge upon them 7
the English language. 7
do not mean by violence, but in !
a friendly way, because English s
means the peace of the earth to all
who learn it.-AlIen Steven, 1888 M
