that the construction of the subway

are superior 10 that of Mulberry street

opinion. affect the value of properties

The South Second street subway
would be the shorter haul" said Mr..
Spicer but l doubt if it would he bet
ter as 1t now is than the Mulberry
street viaduct route. because there are
grade crossings to be passed on the
Second street route
The Eject On Values
Mr.. SpiCer, incidentally. said he be-
lieves the properties affected by the
subway construction in Second street
have been decreased in value because
the improvement has driven away the
retail business. He believes that in time
the completion of the proposed freight
station improvements will be advan-
taseous to property values in that sec

ly nervous state for several months
preceding the death of Mr.. Peck, that
he was subject to 'obscessions" and
the victim of mental suggestions com
ing from another self, which the de-

Among the important witnesses for
the defense are DR.. Morris J. Karpas
and DR.. Allen r. Diefendorf and
Frank Waite, the prisoners brother,
who, 1t is expected. will tell of the de-
fendant's early life and family history.
Waites attorney has announced that
the defendant will take the stand and
he may be called before the end of
to-days proceedings.
Was of Unsound Mind
Walter r, Deuel., counsel for Waite
began his opening address for the de-
fense when the trial was resumed to-
day. Mr.. Deuel. said he expected to
finish the case for the defense by Fri
day night.
Attendance at the trial was some
what decreased to-day.
In beginning his address Mr.. Deuel.
told the jurors II would be shown that
DR.. Waite was of unsound mind He
also announced that the prisoner
would take the stand in his own behalf.
Waite's history, the attorney added,
would show his mental weakness.
while his father and two brothers
would testify as to the prisoners con-
dition and concerning circumstances
in his early life. Counsel promised to
produce alienists to show that Waite S
mind is diseased.
Frank A. Waite, the dentists broth
er, was the first witness for the de-
fense. He said because DR.. Waite had
a large head the other members of
the Waite family "poked fun at him. d"
Always Got Into Trouble
Frank Waite said his brother lag
ged on the way to school when a child
and was always getting into trouble
with other boys. Arthur was IS years
old when he entered the University
of Michigan. He sent back $1,000
from South Africa and brought $1,000
more when he returned, the witness
said.
The brother described visits to
Waite's apartment when he lay in a
stupor from narcotics and said the
dentist then talked at random and in
his lucid intervals acted far different
from when normal.
DR.. Waite, the witness said never
discussed his intention to marry Clara
Peck until after their engagement
was announced.
Cross examined. Frank Waite said
he remembered telling a physician at
Bellevue Hospital there was no
epilepsy, mental deficiency nor Grim
inality in the Waite family. He said
he did not see his brother reading a
book on arsenic and did not recall
hearing Arthur say after the death of
Peck that he had been told he could
get arsenic from a gardener to put

AMERICAN Navy
Wins PRAISE
FROM G. F. BROWN
Popular Harrisburg Auto
Truck Driver Endorses
Tobacco

There's juicy richness and a
lasting flavor in American Navy
that you never find in ordinary
chewing tobacco. This statement
from G. F. Brown, of 343 Brook
Street, well-known auto truck
driver here in Harrisburg, Pa, is
one out of many enthusiastic en-
dorsements:
81 have been using AMERI-
CAN NAVY about four years and
have never found any other to-
bacco that pleases me as well"
American Navy is made of
choice selected, whole leaf, in a
clean, sanitary factory. The leaf
is the same kind as used in good
cigars but instead of being loose
cuttings and clippings, it is whole
long leaf, pressed into plug form,
forcing the sweet, fruity juice
through the entire plug.
Follow Mr.. Browns example
and you'll have the same pleasant
experience. Ask your dealer for
a &C or Ioc cut of American Navy.

Stringent Rcmarria9e Laws
More stringent regulations regard

isters of divorced persons are provided
in q report submitted to-day by the
committee on the state of the church.
The church has never recognized any
cause for divorce except adultery and
has always forbidden remarriages in
any case where a divorced wife or
husband is living. BY the proposed
change a minister who performs such
a marriage is guilty of maladministra-
ton and is to be held answerable to
his conference. The total abstinence
by Methodist church members from
the use of tobacco is urged in another
report. PolyEamy and the social evil
are condemned by the committee on
temperance and public morals. The
enactment of the laws prohibiting the
former is urged.
Discuss Social Evil
Regarding the social evil the COM
mittee asserts that neither segregation
nor punishment by fines is a remedy.
The community should officially expel
and disperse vice, it continues, and
the State should provide industrial set
