SCHMIDT FIGHTS FOR NEW TRIAL

Lon Angeles, January 1.-THE mo-
ton for a new trial for Matthew y.
Schmidt, recently convicted of first de-
gree murder as one of the principals
with Mcnamara in the blowing up of
the Los Angeles Times building five
years ago, will be given hearing here
today. On the allegation that the ju-
rors were permitted to take motor car
rides and allowed to dine at home on
various occasions, Schmidt holds out
hope that the courts will grant re-
hearing of the case. Backed by many
former friends in his fight to clear
himself of the dynamite murder charge
Schmidt still retains hope that he will
be able to escape the term of life
Imprisonment fixed by the jury.
Schmidt was found guilty on the
first ballot by the jurors. it is said, and
on the third ballot the term of life i'm
prisonment was fixed. 1t took the jury
just forty-siX minutes to decide the
fate of Schmidt. The finding of the
jury came as a surprise, for the judges
charge was taken as a favorable one
toward the accused dynamiter. An
other peculiar phase of the trial was
the failure of the prosecution to cross
examine Schmidt when he was placed
on the witness stand in his own de-
Tense and denied all connection with
the Times disaster
David Caplan, who was indicted with
Schmidt on the same charge of muir
der, will also appear in court today,
and his case will be set for trial at
once, should a new trial for Schmidt
be refused.

THAT CURTAILED HONEYMOON.

The very general criticism of Pres
ident Wilson's prolongation of his hon.
eymoon finally penetrated to the Sc
clusion which he and his wife had
found at Hot Springs, although not
until he had informed the newspaper
correspondents that he purposed still
further to prolong his absence from
the White House. Then, fortunately,
from the administration standpoint,
the Persia was sunk, and Mr.. Tumulty
resorted to his yellow journal" meth
DDS. That afforded the President his
excuse for a change of plans and he
announced at Hot Springs that, be-
cause of the gravity of the European
"crisis," he would hasten back to
Washington to handle the situation
himself 1t is true that President
Wilson's desk has been piled high with
public matters, many of which have
been awaiting his attention for some
time, and it was because of his long
neglect of these domestic matters that
he was being criticised.
But the sinking of the Persia af-
forded no reason for his return, be-
cause Secretary Lansing was hand
ling the situation more ably and more
dignifledly than is the President him
self. There has been on President
Wilson's desk for more than four
months the court-martial case of an
officer who for upwards of year was
under arrest, who was sentenced to
dismissal from the army and to i'm
prisonment OF course, no action
could be taken by the War Department
until the findings of the court we're ap-
proved by the President Mr.. Wilson's
neglect of the case will now, no doubt,
save him the trouble, as the officer in
question has broken his arrest and
escaped, presumably into Mexico. This
is only one of the numerous cases
which long ago should have been at
tended to.

UNITED STATES BUILDING UP ITS
RIFLE RANGES.

Washington, January "a Tho
meeting today Of the board of direc-
tors of the National Rife Association
marks the first step in the new move
ment to bring the rifle ranges of the
country under federal control, as one
of the fundamental measures for the
national defense. II will also be de-
cided whether there will be annual
matches during 1916. Sentiment out
side the War Department seems to be
unanimous for these matches to be
held annually, but the department is
expected to take the stand that 1t is
impossible to spare the troops for the
matches during maneuver years, which
comes in 1916 This objection may be
met by using national guardsmen to
do the work.
Tomorrow the annual meeting Of
the National Board for the Promotion
of Rifle Practice will be held in the
Office of the assistant secretary of war.
There will also be meetings of sub
committees on rules and range con-
structon and legislation, and it is
probable that meetings will be held
with the military committees of the
House and Senate.
Congress is being asked at the pres
ent session to provide for a cimmission
to investigate the entire subject of
rifle range construction from ma
tional defense standpoint. Such a
commission should survey the entire
country according to the promotion
board, and recommend a permanet ma
tional policy oof rifle range cnstruc-
ton and fix the localities where such
ranges should be provided.
The National Rife Association which
is meeting here today, is asking for a
national charter ut this session, with
an annual appropriation of $4,000
from Congress to assist in carrying on
the rife shooting propaganda is 1t
should be done. 1t is also the inten-
ton of the National oBard for the
Promotion of Rife Practice to seek,
through the Secretary of War, an in
crease in their annual appropriation
from $4,000 to $4,000.

BRYAN MUST EXPLAIN.

New York, January 12.-William ]
Bryan, former Secretary of State, who
failed to put in an appearance when
he was subpoenaed to court to tell
what he knew of the circumstances
surrounding the sale of two American
battleships to the Greek government.
has been given until today to explain
to the court why he should not be held
in contempt. A libel case was up for
trial during the Colonel's recent visit
to this city and he was summoned as a
witness. One Tantais was suing a
Greek newspaper for libel, and the
plaintiff wanted to question the former
premier as to whether certain secrets
of gun fire control were divulged to
officials of the Greek government
when the battleships were sold.

TAFT FOR SUPREME COURT.

Some of President Wilson's ablest
advisors have urged him to appoint
William II. Taft to the Supreme Court
vacancy resulting from the death of
Justice Lamar. 1t is pointed out that
the PresideDd could find no ADLER Judge
and no man whose experience has so
we'll Fitted him for service in the high
est. tribunal in the land. 1t was Mr..
rTaft's earnest desire to go on the Su-
preme bench during the Roosevelt adj
ministration and he did not do so only
because he felt that he could better
serve the Filipinos by remaining at
the head of the War Department. Mr..
Taft's legal decisions handed down
when he was a member of the United
States Circuit Court, constitute some
of the most valuable contributions to
American jurisprudence. No promi-
nent Republican has been more con-
siderate of Mr.. Wilson, both as rival
candidate for the Presidency and as
President. Moreover, Mr.. Taft as Pres
ident exhibited an absolute indiffer-
ence to partisan considerations in Sc
lecting members of the Supreme Court,
having made Justice White, a Louisi-
ana Democrat, Chief Justice. and hav-
ing appointed Messrs. Lamar and Lur-
ton, both Democrats, members of the
court.

ABOUT "SOME BABY"
Which WIZ Show At the Washington
Monday Night With Joseph De

There will be plenty of laughter at
the Washington Theater Monday night,
January II, when the Estate of Henry

new three act farce by Zellah Coving-
ton and Jules Simonson, revised and
staged by Percival Keith Some Baby"
is said to be some farce" with the ac-

pany is headed by that brilliant fun
maker, Jefferson DE Angels. The en-
gagement here is for one night only
after which Some Baby" with this
same cast will play at the Lexington
Opera House, Lexington, KY, and the
McCauley's Theater, Louisville, KY,
and will then begin Boston season at
the famous Hollis Theater.
Some Baby" deals with the remark
able experiences of an old scientist,
who believes that he has discovered
the Elixir of Youth and Judging from
the remarkable events that seem to
follow the application of this elixir
by two of the characters, his "discov-
cry" is indeed marvellous. OF course,
everybody knows that there is no such
thing as an Elixir of Youth, but in
this case the professor has really dis
covered a remarkable compound, for
if his potion doesn't actually restore
the old to infancy it produces enough
laughter to shake off many years from
