A German paper has been asking
Scandinavian men Of science and ac-
ton to state for what they are in
debted to German science-rather as
though, in face of British denunciation,
Germany were q little anxious to reas-
sure herself on the subject. The
answers may give a modified satis-
faction to The German mind, though
there are conditions stated and implied.
Thus Professor Lovenz, Of Hyde, not
satisfied to answer the question, adds
that the debt of science to France and
Great Britain is equally great. And
no states what, in his opinion. are the
three leading characteristics Of the
three nations in their attitude to
science. Would any one guess them at
g hrst attempt? He praises France
Tor clearness. Germany for thorough
ness and p~rofundity. and England for
originality.

The mysterious loss OF gasoline.
which embarrassed the polar expedi-
ttons Of Scott and Amundsen, and
which was the principal cause Of the
disaster that befell the former has
been made the subject Of investiga-
ton by several persons. and O very
plausible explanation is made by B. r.
Brooks. Of the Mellon Institute Of
Industrial Research, in an article iii
Science. He has observed that at low
temperatures ordinary tin is liable to
be converted into the allotropic form,
graz tine power. This change takes
place at a maximum rate at 48 degrees
Centigrade (54.4 degrees Fahrenheit),
and may occur more slowly at other
temperatures below 10 degrees Cent?
grade (65.4 degrees Fahrenheitl. Hard
solder, which may contain IS per cent
tin. is subject to the same process OF
di~stntegration. Hence danger Of leak
age along the solder seams of the con-
tainer-a fact That should be duly con-
sidered by future polar expeditions.

New Haven Man Thinks
 Bridgeport Police Are
 Severe on Automobi lists

Charles Billings giving his address as s13 Humphrey street. New Haven, and said to be retired lawyer of that city, today paid $15.97 into the city court because he was driving a car through the streets of Bridgeport at a speed of 35 miles per hour according to Motorcycle Policeman c. W. Cor gas, who issued the summons for his appearance in court.
 It was asserted that Billings car had been followed for distance of three-fourths of a mile and that up- on overriding the driver it was found he had no license issued this year.
 The prisoner told the court his ma chine was four years old and could not possibly make 35 miles an hour though it was probably. going at a rate of 27 miles hour He further com mented on the strictness of the Bridge port police as compared with those in New Haven s'who had frequently let him run about that city in another car at speed exceeding 40 miles. He explained that a new license has been sapplied for but not issued. On charges of reckless driving and because he had no license an aggregate fine of $15.97 was assessed by the court.

Doesn't Know He Lost
 Wheel Until It Passes
 Automobile on the Road

ssGee! But that seems funny said a, man believed to be Charles w. Bostick of Thonpsonyille. Conn, as he drove westward on Fairfield ave- nue at S:30 o'clock yesterday after noen.. large automobile in which was seated his wife. The cause of his interest was an automobile wheel speeding ahead of his car bearing the license number 7891. As the driver turned his head around to see what the cause of the racing wheel might be. his wife suddenly declined at a peri1ous angle and the axle be- gan to drag over the pavement. With much difficulty in avoiding traffic and trees at that point on Fairfield ave- nue the driver escaped injury in bring ing Athe car to a stop. Later; the
 machine was lowed to a, local garage and the incident reported to Police man Gorgas. The automobiie direc- tory gives the name of Bostick as the owner of license 1891.

LEO M. FRANK
 MUST DIE. IS COURT ORDER

Continued From First Page.) before the trial that if he were on the jury he would hang that Jew sure.'' Judge Roan denied the motion and the Georgia supreme court affirmed 1 is action on February 1T, 1914.
 An extraordinary motion for a new trial was made on several grounds, among which was that of newly dis
 covered evidence. That was denied by the trial court on May 6. 1914, and the supreme court of Georgia affirmed the
 action. On October +, 1914, Franks attorneys made a motion in the trial court to set aside the verdict on the grounds that the trial court had lost Jurisdiction over him by reason of mob violence manifested during his trial and by reason of his absence from the court room, along with his counsel, when the jury returned its verdict. That motion was denied and the Geor- l gia superior court affirmed that action 1 on Nov. IA, 1914.
 To review that action, application was made first to Justice Lamar, then
 Justice Holmes, and finally the entire supreme court of the United States,
 for a writ of error. All held that the decision of che Georgia supreme court could not be reviewed because its ac-
 ton was based o ngruonds of preced- ure, namely, that the grounds for set ting aside, the verdict should have been advanced in the motions for new trials.
 Application was then made to Judge
 Newman of the federal district court for northern Georgia for a, writ of ha-
 beas corpus,1 claiming that the trdaI Icourt had lost Jurisdiction over the
 prisoner during the trial because of the alleged mob violence and Frank $ absence from court when the verdict was returned. On December 21, 1914. Judge Newman held that to grant the writ would mean that a Federal court should review the action of the state fcourts in a manner hot warranted by the law of the country, and that, too, after the supreme court of the United
 States had decided no federal question lremained for consideration in the case.
 Judge Newman refused to issue a cer-
 tfdcate of probable cause, for appeal | to the supreme court, but it was is- sued by Justice Lamar and the case
 came to the supreme court for a re-
 view of Judge Newman,s action.

Summary
 OF THE w ar News

Abandonment by the German general staff of plans for the gen eral offensive in France is infer red in Rome from information re- ceived there. It is said this de- cision is indicated by official com munications to the Italian cabin ct as well as by statements of Germans in official circles and that hope of penetration further into French territory has been put aside.
 A despatch from Geneva. gives, the impression that the Austrians and Germans have decided to concentrate their energies on the eastern campaign It is, said that at a council of war presided over by Field Marshal Won Hin denburg it was determined to transfer the Austrian heavy arr tillery now before Verdun to Po- western Gahcis. the Hungarian cavalry now on the western front.
 The situation in the east is still to be cleared up. Confident assertions from Berlin last week that the Russian advance in the Carpathians region had been halt ed or onset By the claim of the Petrograd war office that the principal chain of the mountains, comprising a 75 mile section of the front. is now in possession of the Russians and that 70, 1000 Austrians have been captured in the last few weeks.
 It is said in Petrograd that the : movement toward the interior of 5 Hungary would be resumed after the troops have been rested and reinforced. The Austrian war office, however. maintains that the Austro- German forces are gaining further victories. S Count Alvaro De Ronanones. former pramier of Spain, has made a. public statement to the effect that a solemn decIaration'' should be made by Spain to show where her sympathy lies in the war without violating her neu- tra1ity. He pointed out that Spain's relations with the triple entente consisting of Great Bri- tain, France and Russia, had been more and more friendly dur dng recent years

WE SHOULD WORRY ON CAR THAT HIT
 l3-YEAR-OLD GIRL
Picture of Auto Smash up Decorates Machine That
 Causes Child's Death.

A hanboyant bapTter, on which is depicted an automobile smashup and the inscription s'We Should Worry was on the back of the taxicab that struck and fatally injured 13-year-old Dorothy c. Hooey of 919 Madison ave- nue, yesterday at Capitol avenue and North Main street.
 When Policeman Alexander Hatch took Campbell Abrid, driver for James Leon, to police headquarters in the car that hit the girl, superstitious persons who had heard of the accf- dent, regarded the banner in horror.
 Abrid was arraigned before the city court this morning and was remanded under bonds of $2,0oo for hearing on the charge of nanslaughter next Saturday. He was released on bonds furnished by his employer.
 Coroner John J. Phelan announced today that he would begin his inquest into the death at g o'clock tomorrow, asking the police to have all witnesses present at that time,
 Though it is the contention of the driver that the little Hooey girl started to cross the street with two other companions and that they so occupied the street that he would have to either hit two of them or one, and that he had no other choice, it is believed that witnesses will be brought forward who will testify that the car was going at excessive speed and that after hitting the girl the car proceeded a distance of nearly 100 feet before it turned about and came back to the spot where the child lay.
 Greatly in favor of the driver is the fact that when he saw the girls help less condition he put her in the car and sped to St.. Vincent's hospital. where she died at il o'clock last night. having received a fracture of the skull and internal injury. Abrid lives at 42 Clarence street and is reputed care .fu1 driver.
