FRANK CASE UP BEFORE

Several hours were allotted by the
high court today to hear the celebrat-

A decision may be expected within a
few weeks, certainly, it is believed
before the adjourns for its summer

Georgia also had its most powerful
solicitors opposing Franks motion, in

THEY SEE THE WORLD
THROUGH BABY'S EYES

COLORADO SPRINGS, Feb. 25.-
In little home at Lake George, 25
miles from here, there is baby boy,
who, when he grows up, will be able
to tell his father, his mother and a
brother and sister, of the beauties of
the mountain region in which they
live, but which have been SHUT out
to them throughout their lives.
This baby, the pride and wonder
of the entire district, possesses the
blessing of sight, denied all other
members of the family. The baby's
father is Benjamin Richards. He is
blind. The little mother, now the hap
piest woman in all Colorado, was Miss
Myrtle Highly. She was born blind
She was student in the State School
for the Blind and while there met
Richards. His sight had been de-
stroyed in an accident.
Drawn together by their affliction
which sent them through the world in
darkness, Richard and the little blind
girl were married. Five years ago a
baby girl was born. Anxiously, they
waited for the word that would tell
them whether the innocent little new
conner had also entered the world in
darkness. Their hearts were torn
when they were told the baby girl
would never see. Three years later a
baby boy arrived and he, too, had been
denied the gift of sight.
Two years passed. A little girl
now five years old, played in a world
of darkness about her mother, who
had also never seen the light of day

ing despite the blight cast upon then
at birth. But neighbors told mother
Richards that her little ones were
pretty children and she smiled anC
coddled the little hands and faces she
could not see.
| Time went on. AS mother Richards
heard the voices of her two little ones
as they played in the darkness Of
their baby lives, she knew that th'
great, good bird, the Stork, woult
soon hover over her home again. She
knew that he was about to bring an
other baby soul into the world, ant
mother Richards prayed that this in
nocent might be spared the blight Of
eternal darkness. Mother Richards
was cheerful and hopeful, but wher
the time came for father Richards t.
summon the village doctor, his hear
fairly stood still.
Some friends accompanied the maj

We may not all agree with the Pu-

will be remembered President Taft

munition for the fighting Mexicans
and we believe the same policy should
There should be an embargo on all
arms and ammunition purchased for
use among the warning nations of Eu-
rope. The Chieftain concludes an ar
ticle dealing with the situation as
follows: Had the government at
Washington taken the position that
foodstuffs would be sold on equal
terms to all the governments for con-
sumption by those not engaged in
conflict; that ammunition and arms
would not be sold to either side, and
that the American flag should not be
used by either of the combating ma
tions as means of safety, we would
not now be facing the situation of
having to guess whether we will be
at war with the allies, with Germany,
with the whole bunch or with no one
in the next thirty days. Our situa-
tioh today results from the fact that
our state department has been used
as weekend headquarters for a

of having been filled by man well
versed in international law and prece-
