c. R. JUDEN FREED
OF ASSAULT CHARGE
Jury Finds Him Not Guilty of
Charges Made by Miss
Farrar.

Claude r. Juden was found not gull
ty on the statutory charge preferred
against him by Leola Farrar in the
Circuit Court of Jackson late last
night. The Jury was out less than an
hour, when the verdict was reached.
Juden was charged with having at
tackled Miss Farrar last June, and
was defended by Senator Thomas F.
Lane. He produced several witnesses
to testify as to the morals of the
prosecuting witness. Several other
witnesses were heard in behalf of the
defendant.
The first witness to be called was
Charles Farlar, father of the prose
cutting witness.
Only four witnesses were heard for
the defense. They testified as to the
character and reputation of Miss Far
rar.
After the testimony had been heard
and both sides had held their argu-
ments, the jury retired for delibera-
ton. It was about 7 o'clock when the
verdict was rendered. The case had
consumed the entire day.
The Jurors for this trial were: NJ.

dol, H. P. Siemeris, A. J. Schroek, Au-
gust Covert, Henry Grossheider, Ben

HOME FOR MOTHERS
AND CHILDREN OPENS

Earl Park, Ind, Jan. 10.-Mrs. Jen-
ME E. Caldwell's memorial to mother
hood-a beautiful big home for home
less mothers and babes-was opened
today. Set in a peaceful community,
surrounded by prosperous farm houses
and contented people, 80 homeless
mothers and their children will live
in happiness.
The will of Mrs. Caldwell provided
5000 acres Of land, valued at nearly
100000, for the home. Relstives
contested the viii, and all but $500
acres of the land went to them. The
home will have a handsome income,
however.

SENATOR STONE
WILL aid CAPE
GET U. 5. PLANT
Writes Commercial Club He
FavOrs This City for
ArmOr Project.
REED FOR MISSOURI,
HE SAYS IN LETTER
Congressman Russell Joins in
Enthusiastic Effort to Bring
Plant Here.

United States Senator VIM. J. Stone
of Missouri has pledged the CONNER
cial Club his hearty support in the
fight to land the Government armor
plate plant for the Cape in letter
read at last nights meeting of the
Commercial Club. He expresses the
hope that the Cape will be chosen for
this huge plant, which is to be $11,-
100000 establishment.
II will do everything IN my power"
he wrote, "to aid Cape Girardeau to
secure this plant"
Several other letters pertaining to
this question were read at the meet
ing. The missives We're sent by Sem
ator James A. Reed, Congressman
Russell, and Senator r. B. Oliver. The
latter informed the club that he was
on the verge of leaving st. Louis for
Washington to make the preliminary
arrangements to have the armor plant
commission visit Cape Girardeau in
his contest.
The letter from Senator Reed was
not so encouraging as that OF his col
league. Senator Reed emphasized the
fact that he would boost Missouri in
this fight, but inasmuch as there were
several other cities in Missouri COM
peting for the plant, he would not ex-
press himself in favor Of any town.
Congressman J. ]. Russell has
pledged himself solely in favor Of the
Cape and has promised to do every
thing he can to get the commission to
consider Cape Girardeau. He will join
Senator Oliver as soon as the latter
arrives in the national capital and will
use his influence to get the commission
to hear Mr.. Oliver.
Nothing will be left undone, Mr..
Carter said last night before divesting
himself of the presidential honor OF
the club, to have this plant located IN
the Cape. He -iutinlated that approx
mately $3.50 to $1,000 would be spent
by the club in making this fight. This
sum will be raised probably by popu-
lar subscription among the members.
r. B. Oliver, w. D. Vandiver and /.
r. Kelso will appear for Cape Girar-
deau before the commission and IN
vite the members to visit this city.
Oliver has been in Jefferson City on
legal matters, but is now enroute to
Washington. 1t is thought he will
arrive there today.
Several members of the club ex-
pressed enthusiasm over the chances
Cape Girardeau has in this race. a
copy of the bri.f, outlining the natural
advantages of Cape Girardeau over Its
opponents, was read to the club. A
copy of this brief has been sent to all
the representatives of Missouri in Con-
gress and other prominent Aisssurlans
in the State Legislature.
Cairo, H., is considered the strong
est rival the Cape will have in this
fight, but the chances Cape Girsrdesu
has are considered better than those
Of Cairo. It was brought out last
night that the water system in Cairo
reuld be 4 severe handicap.

32nd Infantry Players Will
Not Make Any CHANCE Cohen
Athletic Officer Says That Arrangements Have Been Sasfac-
tory in Oahu Servce-Was Not Notified of Any Change and
States That He Had No knowledge of Such Move Until This
Mornlng-May Amagamate But OAHU Service Will Be First

Sometime ago it was announced
that the 25th Infantry and 32nd In,
fantrF teams would begin a series OF
games in the Honolulu League. They
didn't. Sometime ago 1t was report
ed that Rogan and Fagin would play
for one of the teams in the Honolulu
League. They didn't. Now comes
the announcement that the 32nd In
fantry and LIST Infantry players would
play in the Honolulu League. For
the answer-see Grimes Fairy Tales.
Lieut.. Cohen, vice-president Of the
Oahu-Service League and athletic Of
ficer of the SIND Infantry, said this
morning that there was nothing to
it. He said that he had not been no
titled of any arrangements, and fur.
thermore said that the 32nd Infantry
players would not play in that league.
Favor Oahu-SerVice
1t is known that the players on the
32nd Infantry team and those on the
lst Infantry team were satisfied with
arrangements in the Oahu-Service
League, and if Sratton, auckland.
Rails, Judd, Maddis and others were
asked they would also make this
statement.
It stands to reason that If the 32nd
Infantry players and LIST Infantry play
ers were going to play in an organ

"Wm the champions Of Manila be
able to down one Of the fastest teams
in Honolulu?' Is a question that is
being asked around the city since the
announcement was made that the
champions would play here on Sunday
NJ Moiliili with the Fort Ruger Giants
No more definite news can be learn
ed. but inasmuch as the wireless mes
sage said champions, a strong team Is
expected. It viii be remembered that
"Speeder" Rogan at one time played
in Manila, and other stars have come
10 Honolulu from that league.
Cummings, who has been doing the
hurting for Ruger, has not yet been
defeated, but II is expected that he
will be given a real test when the boys
from the Philippines arrive. Manager
Stewart has had his men out for prac-
tise this week, and will be ready
when the gong sounds on Sunday.
Who IL t4e2
One Of the local ball fans who has
watched the games in Manila, says
that there is one pitcher in the army
who would given Rogan and Crumpler

possible that he is on the champion
team. It is to be hoped that they have
a real aggregation 10 go against the
Rugers, as Manager Stewart will have
strong squad.

raise the prices for this game, mas

necessary expenses, decided that with
a good crowd out to the game
they would give the fans the benefi,
OF the doubleheader at the same price
IN Justice to the oahu-Service Leagus
II might be said that this movement
is going to boost the game here.

South Makes His First Appear
anCe for Some Time; Holds
Navy to Five Hits

In the first game of a double header
at Moiliili field Wednesday afternoon
the LIST Company lost to the 3rd Com
pany Of Fort Ruger after a hard bat
tie. The game was the last event
Of a post field meet, and was wit
messed by almost 500 service men,
most Of whom remained for the sec
ond contest between the Giants and
a navy team from Pearl Harbor. The
Giants played errorless ball behind
South, who made his first appearance
in the box after a six months rest
AS usual the Giants played a bang

to all corners of the lot. Ferris in
right field made two "granGstand'
catches of hard drives from the
healthy willows Of McClain AMI Cum

third out with the bases filled and
both meant a four-pIy swat. South

Greatest Ever
I owe a debt Of gratitude TO Ludy
L,.nger. He gave me many a valu-
able hint and l learned almost as
much watching his wonderful per
| formances. Ludy is the greatest
swimmer in the world. His style IS
so effortless and perfect At his own
distances, from a quarter to a mile,
no one can approach him. Like all
the great athletes he owes his sue
cess to his strict observance Of form.
In swimming, correct style is every
thing Ludy is as careful in every
detail with the last stroke as with
the first. even in a long, exactlng
swim. If he is tired his style does
not betray the fact. That is the ideal
l aim at.

someone says: You swim like Ludy

are prompted to say such things
proves that l am moving in the right

Eastern Girls
suppose the Australians are won

seen. Miss Olga Dorfner of Philadel'
phia and Miss Claire Galligan Of New

their respective distances. When |
saw Miss Dorfner for the first time
she was a revelation. "She swims
like a man." l kept thinking to my
self, and This is real swimming" /
did not know a girl could achieve so
much power and maintain such per-
lection of execution.
The Pacific coast ought to develop
Dorfners, Duracks and Galligans. We
have safe, accessible water and con-
genial climate. The one important
advantage they have in the East is
more competition. But recent devel-
opments Of the sport should result in
a veritable crop of champions of both
sexes.

Dorothy Burns, American champion
swimmer for 220 yards, won a glori
Gus victory from Frances Cowells II
San Francisco. Owing to a mixup II
the race her time was slower thar
that made by Olga Dorfner for 100
yards, but many believe that she Is

has a good word to say for Ludy

Honolulu, who is sch "duled to swim
in the Y. NJ. C. A. In an article'in
the San Francisco Bulletin the mer
maid writes:
Since swimming joined the ranks
of the grown-up sports people often
say to me:
Can you think Of anything else
that would help the game along?
I always reply: More competition.
Competition is the very breath OF
sport. In the South there is at pres
ent a sad lack Of it among the girls.
Tens Of thousands Of women patron
ize the Los Angeles beaches, but for
the welfare Of the pastine far too few
are actual swimmers, and the number
of those who race can be counted on
the fingers Of one hand.
Never was this poverty so unm1s-
takably revealed as the other day
at San Diego. when Miss Aileen Al
len was pressed into service at the
last moment to prevent Mrs. Mildred
Pollock Peck having to swim over
the course in solitary loneliness. l
am told that such an event in San
Francisco would have attracted any
where from a dozen to a score OF
girls.
Northern Climate
/ suppose loyal San Franciscans
claim it is the northern climate that
produces such a wealth of talent.
Since Miss Dolly Mings retired and
Miss Aileen Allen assembled the div.
ing pedestal there heI been no one
in the South to equal the first flight
of the San Francisco girls. Miss Eve
lyn Ross Of the Venice High School
made favorable impression in the
back stroke and at the crawl but she
has migrated, und stand, to San
Francisco. If so she will be a valu-
able acquisition to- the club that is
clever enough to find her first. We
all expected her to develop into a
champion.

satisfactory in the Oahu-ServiCe
League, they would remain there. II
they were not, then IT would be no
more than right for them to seek else,

tnion held by the majority Of the Of,
ticers OF the regiment who have been
interviewed on the subject
First in Field
The Oahu-Seryice League was the
first league to arrange for inter-parh
games at Honolulu and Schofield. and
II there is any change to be made,
the fans can rest assured that the
Oahu-Service League will first be
asked what terms and arrangements
they are going to offer.
The announcement of these facts
without notification by the athletic
officers of the regiments isn't going
to help the baseball situation here.
and the next time the announcement
is made, the fans are going to call
wolf" There Is hardly a possibility
that this arrangement could be put
through without the consent Of the
athletic officers.
The announcement that one team
would be organized from the two
regiments has been in the air for
some time, and this may be done, but
the amalgamated teams cannot do
anything else but ask the Oahu-Ser-
vice for teams. as the players have
all been participating in the league.

braska and South Dakota with thir.
teen, Kansas with sixteen, Montana

These are all agricultural states
and it is certain, not only from these

become valuable part of the farmers
equipment. It is not the great manu-.
featuring states, like New York. with
a car to every fifty inhabitants, or
Pennsylvania, with a car to every
thirty-seven, that show the highest
popular use Of the motor vehicle.
The fact Is that the farmer, like tho
rancher in Arizona, where there is a
car for every twenty-one persons,
finds the automobile invaluable in re
moving the isolation Of country life
and he Is now willing to concede that
good roads. which enable him to use
his car at any time in the year, are
a necessity.
