"The German losses were very heavy.

SHANNON YOU, MARS, AND YOU
URANUS TOBETRAYPROFESSOR
Where Are Those Earthquakes and Billiards You Prom
sed Mr. Meyers9 You Didn't Even Demolish PhIadel-
phia and Now His Rival Laughs and Laughs.

Mars and Uranus got together in a
dark corner Of the Milky Way one
night last summer and framed up
something on the eartn. Between Feb
ruary Is and February Is, they de-
creed, this mundane sphere should
bounce and jangle like tin can on
the astral tail.
Professor Gustave Meyers told the
world all this last November, tucked
away in a little book that settled
astrologically the fate Of empires and
moving picture shows.
Now comes another reporter of the
planetary four hundred and says Mars
and Uranus did nothing of the sort.
They merely had the River Tiber rise
psltry 30 feet, sent a trifing three
day storm 20 whip around Cape Hat
teras and blockaded the English coast
with winds that drove King Georges
ships 10 port.
Professor Frank Theodore Allan,
astro- expert Of Lake
wood, and director Of his own Astrol-
ogcal Research Society. says, in other
words, that Professor Gustave Meyers
is as nebuar in his foreknowledge as
the hypothesis is in fact.

Professor Meyers predicted that in Feb
ruary the worst cold snap and biz

dicted other things earthquakes
would destroy Albany, Philadelphia,
Baltimore, Chicago. st. Louis. Wash
ington and Portland, that this country
would go TO war with Mexico in Deem
Der, and calamities international and
marital. But il was the blizzard that
reused Professor Allan's ire. He waited
all this time TO prove that the blizzard
wouldn't come, and now he is out on
the trail of all false prophets.
"The frothings of such negalo-
m -Iiac," says Professor Allan, bring
unmerited ridicule and discredit to an
essentially useful and honest science,

Condemned Mans Lawyer
Charges Partially Hurt
Case of Defence.
POINTS OF EVIDENCE
AND LAW RAISED
Exclusion of Dago Franks Dy-
ing Statement Protested-Sev-
eral Witnesses Scored.

Justice Scabury, who presided At the
second rial OF Charles Becker, expo
lice lieutenant, IS accused Of unfair
ness and extreme p8rtiality in the $40
page brief filed yesterday by Martin
T. MAnton, the condemned mans coun-
sci, with the Court Of Appeals and
with the appeal bureau OF the District
Attorneys office. No reference is made
20 the motion for q new trial denied
by Justice Weeks Friday. The afr
dsvits and accompanying papers IN
cluded in that action probably VIII be
fled in a supplementary brief.
In his brief Mr.. Manton finds fault
with Justice Seabury's entire conduct
o. the trial, and especially crltc!ses
the charge TO the jury.
"The charge was unfair" the brief
reads. erroneous, and highly prcju-
dicial in many respects. Both the facts
and the law were srrayed and mar
shallcd In way mighty inlmical 70
the defendants rights and wholly de-
void Of any serious and anxious desire
for their preservation"
After several general references 10
the extreme partially OF the charge,
and the citation Of certain SPECIFIC IN
stances 10 substantiate the accusation
Of unfairness, Becker's counsel later
says:
"These are only few instances
which 20 70 show that wherever there
WAS discussion OF circumstances
which might warrant the inference Of
guilt the court presented the Peoples
case with great force and miEuteness
OF expression; but, on the other hand,
whenever q circumstance warranting
sn inference Of innocence was under
discussion u was passed over with the
lightest possible comment"
Besides this criticism Of the court
many points Of law and evidence are
raised. The general claim is advanced
that the verdict is no lessly against
the weight of evidence and has nc legal
corroboTation. A discussion OF these
two points with their many sub-topics
consumes 4l5 pages.
II is claimed that the second trial
was staged in an atmosphere preJu-
diciai 10 the defendant, and IN the
thirty pages Of discussion on this point
IL is asserted that at the time many
highly Objectionable newspaper &C
counts emanated from the District At
torney's Office.
The testimony concerning converse
Lefty Louie's" wife, Lillian ROsen-
berg, were objected 20, and sixteen
pages Of the brief are devoted TO a pro-
test against the exclusion Of "Dago
Franks" dying statement.
Considerable weight is placed on the
Corroboration Of Jack Roses testi-
mony, which In the second trial was
rested largely On that Of James Mar
shall, whose conflicting afidavits were
the cause Of motion for a new trial.
The credibility of Charles B Pitt,
jr.'s, testimony Is also attacked. Plitt
Is characterized as zone Of the most
miserable specimens OF humanity that
ever stalked in court Of justice"
1t is probable that after the legal
preliminaries are completed the case
will be argued in the Court Of Appeals
on March "a, and decision may be
expected about two months after that.

20 pursue their researches, and at the
same time give free advertising TO a
mountebank, who prospers from the
resultant fees he extracts from the
credulous persons who apply TO him for
horoscopes
within the confines Of the United
States and Canada no blizzard of even
mild proportions occurred within or
near the period named in this mans
forecast. And this is but one Of a
long list Of lurid and startling predic-
tons made by the same prophet in the
last dozen years, not one Of which has
had any substantial verfcation.. If but
tenth part Of the calamities he has
predicted had been experienced then
most all the important centres of our
population would long since have been
in ruins and the country generally i'm
poverished and devastated by disease.

risings of the masses"
And then, just 10 show that there
are horoscopes and horoscopes. Pro-
fessor Allan "<rects" one of his own.
He even picks on Mars and Uranus as
authors Of the direfulness he foretells.
He admits the Tiber and Cape Hat
teras affairs were due 10 them. and.
taking a long view across the next few
months, he sees them engaged in still
more nefarious work
The week OF March Il, for instance.
Professor Allan thinks, will be remem-
bered long by Mars and Uranus ad-
mirers. 1T promises to be one of the
most stormy weeks OF the winter" he
says. Along a line drawn from about
Cape Hatteras 70 the southwest coast
Of Hudson Bay, and running through
Lake Erie and Lake Huron, a wide area
on either side will experience the
most severe results that we can an
ticipate."
Professor Gustave Meyers, il is said
is going to walk from here to Hudson
Bay along that very line. And he does
not believe that even the timid violets
will suffer from Professor Allan's
storm.
