Defends Havner.
\ pro-JOneS man said
The accusation against a man OF
F. F. Jones standing is an outrage. To
connect him with the Villisca AK muir
I ders in any way is prepOsterous. This
feeling has been kindIed against him by
WIKI erson, who is seeking to promote
his own selfish ends.
There is no question of kelly's guilt
and his confession cinches the propo-
sition. These third degree stories are
absurd. Havner would not do any
thing like that. Havner is on the
square. His close friends tell me that
when he came TO Red Oak TO begin
the investigation ne half believed there
was something 10 this Jones talk, but
found nothing"
Meantime, interest centers upon the
actual beginning of the trial after
jury has been impannelled
Evidence Against Kelly.
The prosecution claims it will pro-
duce witnesses who viii testify that on
the Monday morning after the Eillisca
murders. Rev. Mr. Kelly described the
crime. told of the position Of the ak
and the smoking lamp in the charnel
house, and gave complete details TO
passengers on a train at 80 a. m,
When the crime was not discovered IN
til after S o'clockk.
The state claims these witnesses will
testify that Kelly said he was one Of
the first in the death house" and that
-l5E1
[KelyJ heard the thud of the ak.
Mrs. Kelly claims the first knowledge
her husband had OF the crime was
gained on Wednesday, when he re-
Ceived a letter from Rev. Ewing. Of
Vi!lisca, at whose home he was enter
talned the night Of the murder.
The state claims that on the Mon
day morning when the murder was
discovered. Mrs. Kelly according TO
witnesses, Visited neighhbor and re-
marked that her husband was wash
ing the blood out Of his shirt; that
ne had d nose bleed the night before
when he was working on sermon"
WiIkerson Claims New Evidence.
WilkersOn claims ne has unearthed
lot Of new evidence that will stand
elated over Havner's indictment. and
in that connection mas given out the
following comment:
The Indictment demonstrates that
the people Of Montgomery county will
not put themselves In the attitude Of
being made a party to police court
practices and third degree work, that
has for It's sole purpose the destruction
Of case which the attorney general
ought TO have protected.
Regardless Of whether my tneur!
is correct or incorrect, Witnesses had
the right Of fair treatment. 'BlackIe'
Mansfield secured judgment against
the Burns detective agency for third
degree work which in no manner for
severity approached that inflicted
by Havncr upon different witnesses
for the state, and for kich he was
indicted
Fl. F.Jones furnished counsel and
witnesses for Mansfield to aid him in
securing judgment against the Burns
people for alleged third degree meth
DDS 1t now remains to be seen
whether Jones will contribute to the
defense fund for Havners third de-
Jones' behalf or whether ne will be as
good to Alice Willard as he was to

unanimous vote OF the stewards
that Mr. Thorp and Mr.. Crew should
be brought to trial, but no time was
set for the hearing. Mr. Crew de-
manded a trial as soon as Il could be
arranged. He said he was going in
% win in the trial and expected 10
come off with flying colors. We pre-
pared for the unpleasant event to
lhe best of our ability. We knew
our witnesses and had the committee
selected 10 try the case, as was our
right under the discipline. We had
the case we'll in hand and Mr.. Crew
would have found himself over the
fence. without doubt, IL we had not

may have Lad something to do with
the other fact that so many OF the

been secretly working against me for
more than year. He presented
protest signed by six of the old trus-
tees asking for my removal at con-
ference time. He knew then that
bitter contest would be waged for the
possession or control Of Wesley
Church. So do l. So did the majority
OF our stewards and all the active
members of the church. The signif-
cant thing about that quarterly con-
ference was that our district super
intendent seemed to show partiality
toward the Russellite faction. He
probably would deny this, but actions
speak louder than words to most peo-
pie who think.
made repeated attempts TO learn
from the six rebellious trustees the
cause OF their dissatisfaction. but
could get no satisfaction. They could
give no sensible reason. One Of the
trustees said openly on two occasions
that I was the cause OF the trouble in
Wesley Church, and that ] was trying
to break up the church. This was so
manifestly slanderous that the stew
ards invited him to resign from the
board OF trustees, and later the church
deposed him on the ground that he
was an unfit man to represent them
on that board This brought up new
issue and intensified the bitterness.
The enemy saw plainly that their cause
was doomed to failure unless they
brought in some outside aid Mr.. Crew
and Mr. Thorp another trustee, en-
ployed Mr. Burchenal as legal counsel
to aid them 10 their fight
From that time Dr. Robert Watt
has been more active in his opposi-
tion. and the Rev. George Dawson,
former pastor, has spent much time
in advising my opposers what to 90

not to the credit Of men in their posi-

such a bad cause This campaign of
slander and intrigue was being car

such boldness and such defiance OF

stewards that they must proceed to

JAPAN's COPPER KING

The greatest COPPER mine of Jaran
is in shimotsuke; and the owner Of
his property is Mr.. Furukawa, known
as the copper king of Japan. The rise
of the first Furukawa interested in
copper, from a tailor's apprentice to
the head of a property producing
copper valued at s5 800 900 a year, is
compared by current newspaper ar
ticle with the s.ody of Carnegie,
Rockefeller and Archbold.
When an apprentice the lad was
sent with a message and a present
OF fish to a friend of the tailor.
On the way, deg fight SO absorbed
the attention of the boy that he quite
forgot the message he was to deliver.
However, he delivered the fish and
explained that he had forgotten why
he was sent. His frankness was
typical CT his whole life. Later he
was adopted into a prominent fam
dly and showed such business ability
in the firm in which the family plac-
ed him that he began to attract the
attention of leading business men. He
interested Baron Shikusawa, among
others, in the re-establshment Of a
copper mine that had been worked
at odd times fer a number of years
with no great success. He worked
the mine fer six years wi hout profit
and his friends advised him to drop
the project, his partners Withdrawing
from the enterprise. Shortly after
this rich vein of ore was discover
ed and the former tailcr's apprentice
jumped into prosperity, becoming a
millionaire at one bound. He added
to his COPPER holdings and establish
ed the Furukawa Mining company.
He was a man of conservative tenn
permanent ard when the imperial or
der went forth to cut off all top
knots, the copper king refused to ac.
cede to it. The emperor, however,
wished to decorate him for what he
had dcne for the empire and this
necessitated an audience with the
emperor a thing impossible with the
top knot. Marquis Inouye prevailed
urCn the conservative to cut off the
Objectionable hair and he at last
agreed and had his audience with the
emperor and was Mining
American.

POINTERS ON GARDENS

/. II you would realize some of
the joys mother ear,h has in store
for you, begin by cultiyating more
intimate acquaintance with her in
your garden.
2. To get most out of that little
garden. put grey matter into it-plan
1t all out carefully on paper before
trying to work out your plans on the
ground.
3. Make the garden secluded
beauty spot by hiding the boundaries
OF whatever kind, with Towering
shrubs, climbing wires or tall grow
ing plants of some kind.
4. A flower border of hardy per-
enuials and ANIMALS banked against
the boundaries will give a profusion
Of bloom,' and make the place bow
er Of beauty throughout the season.
.. A Central lawn or grass plot
imparts to small grounds an air OF
sra, iousuess, and affords restful yiev
po.nss for the occupants Of this Eden
to enjoy the beauties CT their sur
roundings.
6. In these later days, a clothes
reel may be a great convenience on
wash days, but It is sorry substi.
tute fer shade tree all the rest OF
the week. Why not have one that
disappears with the washing?
T. The abundance Of the supply OF
crisp. tender vegetables from the gar.
den depends more on the skill and
energy OF the gardener than en- the
size Of the garden.
s. Are you going to enlist in our
campaign for the bettermeut of the
hcme. the improvement of the city
and at this time, the service of our
country, by doing what your hand
finds to do in your own yard?
