that his suspicious had played any part in
prompting the proceedings against Freeman
In the Giglio case, though he did admit
that when Information was brought to him

getting letters in Gglio's behalf he started
an investigation which resulted in the dis

subsequent admission that the money was
Intended for Freeman.
While on the stand Freeman openly
charged that as a result Of Investigations

convicts from giving testimony that might
be harmful to the deputies or other prison
officials. Freeman cited several instances of
alleged intimidation and after he had re-

Loss

ST. JOHNS, n, F., July 1.-THE Nor
wegian American Line steamship Kris
tianiafiord, which went aground near Cape
Race in a fog on Sunday, was pounding
heavily in the surf today, and II was feared
that she would become total loss. She
had swung about so that she was parallel
with the shore and all her forward holds
were filled with water. The Kristianlafjord,
a ship of 10000 tons, was bound from New
York for a Norwegian port, with passengers
and freight. She had touched at Halifax.
where she was examined by the British
authorities.
The passengers, all OF whom were landed
in safety without much excitement or dis
order, have arrived here.

nON'T you often wander across the
- seas in thought to our boys in France
and wonder just where they are now and
what they are doing and whether they
are yet near the trenches? Among those
young men who went over with the Fifth
Regiment of marines from here were
sgd Thayer the son of Mr.. and Mrs
Sydney Thayer, of Haverford, and Henry
Geyelin, son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Laussat Geyelin, Of Villanova, Sydney
Gest, too, the son of Judge Marshall
Gest, Of Overbrook, and, in fact, there
were fourteen young men from the Main
Line in that regiment
They had all enlisted in the marine
corps reserve, and were transferred at
the last moment to the Fifth, for when
they heard there was a chance Of imme-
date service ahead, they gave up all
chance Of becoming officers by training
at home and managed to get transferred
TO the immediate service branch. Their
transfer was made only twenty-four
hours before sailing time, and they are
now with General Pershing Somewhere
in France"

SCHOOL NOTES

The game last Friday with Spen-
games of the season. The two teams
were well matched and there was very
speedy playing from both sides. The
fact neither team scored proves that
a team who has played with star
squads, can't put it over M. H. S.
Spencerians had a special car and
brought about Is people with the team.
The enthusiasm and roofing on the
sidelines waxed eloquent. M. H. s..
is justly proud of its roofing and she
surely out-yelled herself at that game.
The high school dance last Friday
was in every way a success. The hop
pers limped home in dilapidated.
tired way, but all agreed it was worth
it. The opposing team left town
much earlier than was expected and
consequently we couldn't show them
what good sports we can be. Spen-
cerian is o. K. and we were glad to
have their people with us. Godlove
may congratulate himself on both.

that Medina will be victorious.

care during the growing period
gradually improve q leg that is crooked
at birth.
When picking up a colts foot teach.
him to stand on three legs and not
depend on the n holding up his foot
for the fourth point of support. The
handling OF u colts foot begins with
the near front foot. Tie a rope around
the pastern, grasp the rope close Ia
the foot, push gently against the shout
der, and quickly lift the foot. The lift
Ing of the foot must be simultaneous
with the weight shifting to the other
feet. Gentle the foot and leg and let
1t down. Repeat several times and
then trim and level the hoof.
