For SEVERAL DAYS after Biddy Chick
adee found the feast that was spread
for her on the outside window sill OF
the dining-room window, she and
CHEEKY had enough to eat and plenty
to spare. You may be sure that kind
little Mary Jane attended to that!
Every morning before she went to
school she put some fresh seeds and
some more suet out for them and
every noon when she came home she
stopped out in the yard few min
utes to feed them from her own
hand.
With such kindness showered upon
them, 1t is not much wonder That the
little chickadees grew more and
more friendly. CHEEKY learned to
hop from the tree to Mary James
shoulder and Biddy, quite fearlessly.

GADSKI'S HUSBAND NOT
GUILTY IN GERMAN PLOT
Captain Hans Tauscher Acquit-
ted of Part in Conspiracy to
Blow UP Welland Canal

NEW YORK. June S0.-A verdict Of
not guilty was returned today in the trial
of Captain Hans Tauscher. charged with
conspirng to blow up the welland Canal
In Canada.
Tauscher, who is agent for the Krupp
interests in this country was specifically
accused of furnishing the dynamite with
which pro-German sympathlzers were to
blow UP the canal.
The defense was based upon the con-
tention that Tauscher. while favoring the
German cause, had asked Captain Won
Papen, former military attache to the
German Embassy at Washington. to give
him work to do which would not be in
violation of the laws Of this country.
Nine. Johanna Gadskl, prima donna and
wife of the German captain. was in court
when the jury announced its verdict and
enthusiastically thanked every one of the ~
men,
Testifying in his own behalf yesterday.
Tauscher intimated that he had been duped
by Captain Won Papen. whose recall was
asked by the United States. Tauscher was
stationed here by the German Government
as its representative in munitions purchase
early in the war.

verdict Not Unexpected,
Says Michael F.. Doyle

= LONDON, June 30. - Michael
francis Doyle, the Philadelphia
lawyer who went to England as at
torney for Sir Roger Easement, has
made the. following statement re-
garding the conviction of the Irish
iead6r .!ni for high trt ason:
The verdict was not une xpected
oy either Sir Roger Easement or his
counsel, as the defense was not able
70 call or produce documents and
WITNESSES from Germany. The state
OIL feeling was such that any other
verdict would have been a surprise.
NO man of Irish name was permit
Id to serve on the jury, and no
English lawyer of prominence would
undo rtake the defense.
The Lord Chief Justice conducted
the case in an eminently fair man
ner. think If the trial, had been
before an American jury the YER
dict would have been different.
Sir Roger Easement is in no way
detected at the outcome. An appeal
VIII be lodged Immediately with the
criminal Court of Appeals.
