Wore Kimono and Bit Tops Off Beer
 Bottles

New York, July 25.-Biting the tops off beer bottles and going to the corner for a morning eye-opener in the wife's kimono need not necessar- fly be signs that person is insane and unfit to make a legal will, according to a decision yesterday by Surrogate COholan.
 Although witnesses had testified that Jason c. Lotterh and, an inventor, was for days in an alcoholic trance, the surrogate denied the petition of Mrs. Gertrude Patricia Lotterhand to set aside the will upon the grounds of instantly. Upon his death it was dis covered that his will so effectualIy tied up his property, including Valuab ble patents, that Mrs LOtterhand was forced to go to work to support her three little children.
 Upon the plea that her husband had been unduly influenced by John Bar leycOrn in making of his will, Mrs. LOtterhand brought witnesses to the

PLOT IS NATION-W N-WIDE

DR. HARRIS DYING
at Point of Death in Boston HospitaI-POlice Suspect Dr. Celia Adams Was Also Murdered

Boston, July 25.-The death of Dr. Wilfred E. Harris, who was shot by pr. Eldridge D. Atwood a week ago, was expected hourly today.
 The police, so far as known, have found no explanation for the death by poisoning of pr. Celia P. Adams, be- yond that given by Atwood, who upon his arrest said he had shot Harris because the latter had come between the young woman and Atwood mak- ing their marriage impossible and causing the suicide of Miss Adams.
 It was planned to change the charge against Atwood from assault with intent to kill, to murder in the first degree so soon as death came to Harris.
 Atwood's attorneys have intimated that the defense would be temporary insanity. Atwood has said that the death of his sweetheart was the cul- animation of a series of incidents that drove him mad.
 On the other hand, the police are giving much attention to theory held by staunch friends of Dr. Harris that Miss Adams was murdered

Kansas CitY's Manless Park.
(BrOOklNn Ea gle)

The decision of the authorities of Kansas City to set aside one of the city parks for women, forbidding any man to enter at any hour, is de- hghttUl experiment. It's about what the fine daughter of King Cana did with her reservation for a girls semi nary, where the inmates sang loudly though hiding, it may be, the senti- ments of Lots wife just before she was turned to a pillar of salt: We hate and we abhor the tyrant
 man;
 We scout him, and we fout him, and
 we do not care about him, v~ And we're going to do without him, if
 we can.
 It will be remembered that the prince and his companions came in to redeem that Adamless Eden. For the present our prophecy is that the Manless park of Kansas City will be lonlier than any Deserted Village" a Goldsmith ever dreamed of. a void beside which neVer-visited Sahara oasis would seem a congested centH of population.
 Sunragcts can convert no voters three. Maiden ladies of uncertain age will not want to be seen going in School girls will prefer park coeduca- no better scheme could have been de- vised. Women officials would have made no such erros in applied psych- Ology A manless park is as absurs as a Womanless park. Only wild anil mals thrive in such an environment.

Fruits of Anti-Preparedness Propa-
 ganda.
(New York Sun).

The fatal assault made on the Say Francisco marchers for preparedness and the spectators who were watching them Saturday afternoon is attributed anced by arguments for and against preparedness" The bomb maker was not mentally incapable of fabricating and concealing a deadly internal ma chine; it killed six and wounded halff hundred persons.
 But a mind open to evil suggestion might find in the anti-preparednes propaganda sufficient excuse for the most diabolical crime. Its unfortu- nate possessor is told that soldiers are murderers; that governments main- tain armies not to defend the uber- ties and rights of their peoples but to oppress, exploit and subdue them, ana to rob their neighbors; that patriot ism is only a mask for greed, devo- tion to national honor a pretext for -aggrandizement.
 Nor do these pernicious and de- structive doctrines come always from men of bad reputation. They are proclaimed and upheld amid respeet- able surroundings, by men who3 pre- tend to reason and boast that their motives are pure.
 The sanity of the San Francisco bomb throWer may be doubted; what shall be said of the mental quality of those whose methods in opposition to adequate defence of the nation may have upset his weak intellect?

Must Be Naturalized.
Bridgeport Standard)

There are 20,OO0 Americans. more or less, who have gone to Canada since the war began and have enlisted in the British army thus forfeiting their American citizenship where they were citizens before. Those who sur vive the war and return home will have to go through the process of nat uralization, like any foreigners. if they wish to resume their citizenship. But that is not a very devious or difficult process. If they are very anxious 1t will not take them long to set the machinery in motion. What the aveg- age immigrant does they can do, of course.

The company refused to accede to the demands and the mon went on strike and since that time there has been little or no progress made in getting the excavation work done.

CHIROPRACTTC HINTS,
Chirapractic in Accord With Nature.


 Chiropractors do not prescribe medi- cine, make use of surgery nor prac- tice osteopathy; nor do they treat heal or cure disease. They locate and adjust the cause of disease Ma ture will do the healing, curing and repairing after such adjustment has been made.
 The cause of disease is vertebral subluxations, which produce pressure on spinal nerves, thereby shutting off life currents, passing through nerves from brain cell to the parts of the body affected or diseased.
 Chiropractors adjust subluxated yer tebrae relieving pressure on nerves, thereby enabling innate intelligence to restore normal function. The result is l. edith.
 Innate intelligence will afford health if allowed uninterrupted trans mission; uninterrupted transmission insures perfect expression of function. Fifty years ago medicine was an un- certain science. Today it is as cer- tainly uncertain.
 Chiropractic ministers to the neces- sity of afflicted humanity, and is a public need.
 Our work tells it's own story; give chiropractic a trial and know for yourself.
 We deal with conditions, not theor- ies, that is why we correct causes with adjustments instead of eXperi- menting with effects by the use Of remedies.

MAYOR GIVES CUP;
 POLICE TO WIN TT
Hartford Police Department Baseball Team Challenged Today-Game
 Early In September.

Chairman E. G. Babcock of the board of public safety this afternoon iourneyed to artford where he visited police headquarters and hurled a challenge at the head of Chief Gar rett J. Farrel, demanding that inc Hartford policemen's baseball team come to this city during the first week of September and accept defeat at the hands of a team made up of local policemen.
 Mayor George A. Quigley is also imbued with the athletic spirit and says he will do his part towards mak- ing the game a success. He has of fered to donate a handsome silver loving cup. Chief William J. Rawl- ings will undoubtedly be secured to act as umpire, so there is no doubt but what the local team will win and the cup will remain in New Britain. Therefore it behooves Mayor Quigley to buy good one-
 This baseball game will take place in connection with an outing of the policemen, but will be an official out ing and not the one for which the police are already planning. Chair man Babcock expects to have the supernumerary police force filled and will have 8 street parade of the po- lice department and the fire depart ment, including the new motor trucks. The baseball game will follow. There is some doubt as to who will be dis oovered'' as baseball players of abil tty in the ranks of the local police department, but Chairman Babcock says it is not necessary to have real players in order to win. The chief will umpire, that will be sufficient" he states. The game will be staged at Walnut Hill park.
