ROSENFELD Held
As MAN Slayer
City Judge DiSmisSeS DyCh
and Third Man Is
Missing
REVIEW STORY OF
CARLIN'S DEATH

Judge Churchman in City Court to-
day announced his decision in the
cases of Louis Rosenfeld and Harry
Dych, charged with the murder Of
Frederick Csilin, aged "a years, a
resident of Baltimore. He dismissed
Dych but held Rosenfeld without bail
for the grand jury.
Judge Churchman said Carlin had
had trouble with three men. First,
Dych had pushed him out of the yard
at No. 622 West Third street and
that another young man had then
grappled with Dych and had since
been missing and that a third man
was supposed TO have struck Carlin
He stated that the alteration Dych
had with Carlin was not likely to
have fractured Carlin's skull, as il
was not of violent character. He
therefore dismissed Dych. Assistant
City Solicitor Lynn suggested that
Dych might be wanted by Attorney
General; Wolcott as a material wit
ness. The judge said Mr.. Wolcott
would have to determine as to .wheth-
er Dych was a material witness and
finally after some thought he decided
not to hold Dych as a witness.
In regard to Rosenfeld, the court
said that one witness had stated that
Rosenfeld was not near enough to
Carlin when he fell to have struck a
blow and was not corroborated, while
another witness said he was near
enough and was corroborated He
said that if the positive evidence
against Rosenfeld was to be believed
he should be held, while il it was not
to be believed he should be discharg-
ed He therefore thought that the
case should go to the grand jury.
J. Frank Ball, counsel for the men.
asked whether Judge Churchman
would not admit Rosenfeld to bail If
Attorney General Wolcott should sug-
gest it.
The judge said that If the testi-
mony of Mrs. Viola Lee was to be
believed Rosenfeld could not be ad-
mitted to bail as she said that she
heard thump just before Carlin fell
and that Rosenfeld said: God -
you were looking for trouble, now
you got it,"
Mr.. Ball admitted that habeas cor
pus proceedings might be begun to
have Rosenfeld admitted to bail.
Judge Churchman said that there
was an absent witness who might have
cleared the mystery. Assistant City
Solicitor Lynn said that the man had
not yet been located.

BEYOND MEASURE OF YEARS
Geologic Time Cannot Be Computed
by the Ordinary Methods Of
Science.

Scientists hesitate to estimate geo.
logic time in terms of years. Such es-
Inmates have. however, been made,
and one published by Prof. Charles
Schuchert in 1910 states that about
100000 years have elapsed since
the close of the Carboniferous age, an
age, as the name suggests. in which
being formed in many parts of the
world. This age has been divided by
biologists into the Mississippian,
Pennsylvania and Permian epochs. of
which the Mississippian is the oldest
and the Permian the youngest. The
Pennsylvania epoch alone Is esti-
mated by Schuchert to have covered
2,160,000 years. and animal life is sup
posed to have existed on the earth for
over 100000 years before that time.
Geologic periods are recognized pri-
marily by the animals and plants that
lived in them, so that the study Of fos-
sils plays a very real and important
part in the progress Of geologic
knowledge. Rocks of Carboniferous
age, as shown in their fossils, have a
wide distribution in the United States,
and they are apt to abound in these
remains of plant and animal life. The
fossil shells which are found in them,
however. may vary greatly from point
to point, because the animals they rep
resent lived in different periods of geo.
logic time or in different regions in
the Carboniferous ocean.

MlKAD0 FOND OF QUAIL EGGS
Emperor Devours Two, Raw, Every
pay-Kotaro oda Enjoys Monopoly
In Metropolis of Tokyo.

OF the many dainties which daily APP
pear on the imperial table the eggs of
the quail. which are additionally
known in Japan as an elixir of life, are
perhaps the most expensive.
The emperor daily takes two of
these eggs raw, for which he is re.
ported to have great fondness.
Very few people keep quail, and
even II they did it is very rarely that
the birds lay eggs. Perhaps Kotaro
oda may be the only dealer in quail
in Tokyo who can successfully obtain
their eggs.
Last year Mr.. Oda presented some
OF these eggs to the emperor, who &C
cepted the rare gifts, which he highly
priced. Since then the quail eggs have
formed favorite dish for the emperor,
who now never fails to partake them
once every day.
A farmer of Echigo, Oda worked in
the fields when quite young and later
made regular trade of hunting. He
started the rearing of quail which has
now almost become his monopoly In
AOhyO anu vicinity, sOme years aILer
coming to the capital.
He first procured a pair Of quail
from bird fancier and tended them
carefully. In due course the pair
furnished him with a number of eggs,
and thus he obtained some fine young
birds.
One day." narrated Mr.. Oda, "a GER
tain noble looking young young man
called on me and asked my views on
quail breeding. When he was leaving
presented him with 20 quail eggs,
which he duly accepted.
The young man was later found to
be q son Of Prince Takatsukasa, for
It was known that the prince offered
the eggs to the emperor several days
hence.
Some time afterwards I received an
inquiry from Baron Kameda, chief
Imperial veneur, II had more quail
eggs to be presented to his majesty.
This was an unexpected honor to me.
and presented a box of the eggs sew
eral days before the emperor's birth
day last October by way Of wishing
him longeyity."-New York Sun.

The Locust az Human Food.

The curious species of insect life.
known as the locust, which, according
to it's family traditions, visits and pays
its respects to the outside world once
in Is or IL years, has furnished much
food for discussion among scientists,
students and farmers. In addition to
theae there are others who anticipate
with pleasure the advent Of the locust.
for whatever might be said about the
strange creature. in spite of its de-
structive ability and its appetite for
choice foliage, 1t has one good quail
ity which was probably discovered by
NO less \ person than John the Bap-
tist when he decided that specimens
which he found in the desert we're
g00d 10 eat.

Was II a Dark Horse7

An ex-bookmaker tells this one: One
day in the palmy days of horse-racing,
he was operating book at one of the
western racetracks. There had been
considerable betting on the third race
of the day, and Just before post time
an excited rural.looking individual
rushed up to the stand with a roll of
bills in his hand. The man shouldered
several fellows out of line and posted
himself in front of the stand, but then
seemed to lose himself in his reflec-
lions.
We'll. come on" exclaimed the
bookmaker. Don't stand there. Who
do you want to bet on?"
Mister" sighed the man, Il can't
tell you. It's secret."-Lou'r'..

Spectaeles for Cows.

The idea OF COWS wearing spectacles
seems ridiculous. Nevertheless there
are cows that do wear spectacles, and
they may be seen on the plains or
steppes of Russia, which are covered
with snow more than six months of
the year. The cows subsist on the tufts
OF grass which crop above the snow,
and the rays Of the sun on the snow
are so dazzling as to cause blindness.
It occurred to a kind-hearted man to
protect the cows eyes In the same
way as those OF human beings, and he
manufactured smoke-colored specta-
cles which could be worn by cattle.
These spectacles proved q great sue
cess and are now worn by upward OF
10000 head Of cattle. The animals no
longer suffer from snow blindness.
which once caused such untold suffer
ing among them.

Solid Alcohol Fuel.

The raw fuel, solid alcohol, is q
helpful means Of enjoying hot bev-
erages and meals when out of doors.
Special small stoves are constructed,
under which can be burned the small
container Of solid alcohol. This needs
only to be lighted with a match and
the fame is put out by placing the
cover over the can. 1t is hot fuel
and enables the outdoorer to cook a
chop eggs, or heat water for coffee,
beef tea, canned soup, etc.

Why Men Arc Bald.

Men get bald more frequently than
women, according to q scientist, be-
cause they wear hard, heavy hats,
they cut their hair too short, and they
eat more than women. The doc"
says the scalp is like soil, and the hair
like the vegetation that grows upon
It When the scalp is neglected the
hair does not grow and its roots die,
Just a. grass dies when the soil Is
poor. A heavy. hard hat constructs
the blood vessels that nourish the
scalp. Clipping the hair short leaves
its tender roots at the mercy of tho
cold, heat and dust The oil that
exudes from around the roots of tho
hairs and keeps them nourisAed In
coaguiated by the cold and chokea M
the matrix In which the hair ID formed.

RESOLUTION OF coNpoLENcE
From Class No. 1.

In the midst of life we are in death.
and Christian brother cause us to
pause and pay reverence to a fallen
comrade. Those of us who knew
brother Thomas Reed best. loved him
most He was full of years and with
his shield untarnished he yielded at
last to the ConQueror of us all. His
genial presence. his spiritual strength
will be missed by Shorter church, for
years having been one of its most
faithful members. With my imagina-
ton l can almost see him sitting over
there in his favorite seat. A class
leader whom We loved to follow. be-
cause he not only talked Christianity
but lived it. Ii the Christian life
means anything. if devotion to duty
brings reward. then our departed
brother is this morning rejoicing with
the angels and looking over the bat
Elements of glory. We can hear that
silent admonition. Seek ye the mar
row path and the straight gate that
leads unto eternal life"
Sleep on, dear, good and faithful
brother: sweet be thy rest.
Whereas. Shorter church loses one
of its most consistent members. and
Glass No. a former leader and one
of its most Christ-like characters:
Be 1t Resolved. that copy OF these
our sentiments be given to his devOt-
ed wife and son. a copy preserved for
our records. and one to the press.
