+ District Attorney Hildreth at this
point asked whether the bible in this
church was not gift. from the Ger
man emperor Judge Knauff of James
town, chief of counsel for the defense,
objected, and the court sustained him.
Podall was allowed to testify that the
bible had been received some time
prior to 1916, when he came to New
Salem, and an argument as to the ad'

Sinking Of Lusitania was Humane Act.
"The sinking Of the Lusitania
was a humane act, because the
Lusitania carried ammunition
which would have been used in
killing Germans, and the sinking
of the Lusitania saved the lives
of these Germans"
This, said J. L. King, cashier
of the First National bank OF
New Salem, and one Of the first
witnesses for the government,
was a statement made to him by
Rev. Fontana last October, when
King, as a member Of the New
Salem Liberty Loan committee,
called upon the rector for a sub
scription.
"Fontana told me, that Wilson
was elected to keep us out Of
war and that he had then ex-
posed us to war and finally
forced us into it. Wilson could
do this, he said, because he had
something on every member of
congress. He told me he did not
want to buy Liberty bonds or to
use his influence in any way to
prolong the war. | noticed a
picture Of the kaiser hanging in
his room, and | asked him if he
knew the kaiser. He said he
knew the kaiser to be a man Of
peace, that he had kept peace in
Germany for 40 years, and that
the world could have peace now
if it would accept his terms. He
has offered peace, why don't
they accept his terms?' Fontana|
asked.
I'm defending the sinking Of
the Lusitania, Fontana said the
United States would have done
the same thing under the cir.
cumstances."
The defense objected to this
testimony, contending that it
was irrelevant, inasmuch as the
Lusitania was sunk before Amer
lea declared war on Germany.
The prosecution retorted that
this conversation was had in Oc-
tober, 1917, months after war
had been declared, and the court
sustained the government.
REV. Fontana told me bel
couldn't help but be proud Of the
fight the Germans were max

told me he wouldn't sign for any
Liberty bonds or War Savings
Stamps that if he ever changed
his mind he would buy, but that

work Precision Was Necessity.

In speaking Of his connection with
the Fox American pantomimes, the
late F. W. Hofele, once manager Of the
Old Bowery theater, told me that the
making of these many mechanical
tricks consumed much time, "T. w.
w" writes In the New York Sun.
Many skilled workmen were employed,
as these devices had to work perfect
~ and not get stuck when In use. The
duties Of the stage manager were
arduous indeed. From the time the
stage manager tinkled his little bell
for the rise of the curtain to his sig
nal to ring down the act drop he was
as busy a man as could be found any
where in any capacity on earth.
Everything had TO be done when the
order was given to do IT or everything
would be instantly thrown out OF trim,

he took it up with him. The points

STORY OF A FAMOUS STATUE
Bronze Piece, Work OF Leopard,
Cause Of Quarrel Resulting In liz
Being Badly 0ishgured.

Another statue that has been con-
veyed by sea and landed safely in
Rome is the great equestrian one of
the famous General Colleoni, which
stood on its lofty pedestal in the Cam
po of SIS. Giovanni e Paolo. Ruskin
says of it: 'tT do not believe there is
a more glorious work OF sculpture ex-
listing in the world" This statue is,
of course, Of bronze, and was mod
eled by the Florentine sculptor and
painter Andrea Verrocchio in 14S1, as
sisted by his m ore famous pupil. Leon
ardo da Vinci, Rev. Alexander Rob
ertson writes I'll the Christian Herald.
After VerrocchIo's DEATH 1t was cast
in bronze by Leopard.
There is story told to the effect
that when Leopard had finished hts
work, he quarreled with the republic
over 1t. AS he could not come to a
settlement he knocked OF the horses
head and escaped to Florence. The
republic ordered him to return, but
he refused, saying: 81 have knocked
off the horses head, 1t is true. but
can put 1t on again; but If come
to Venice and yoiI take off my head,
you could not put. it on again." The
republic forgave him. assured him of
his life and reward, and he returned
and finished his work.

NOT Easy TO Get on the Earth"
So great is the power Of gravitation
that man is practically prisoner upon
the earth's surface, even the aviator
who temporarily escapes TO height Of
10000 feet or more. Yet human be-
ing might leave 1t forever. If he made

The muzzle velocity Of a shell from
the most powerful cannon Is about g.
900 feet per second, but this projectile
win fall 10 the ground after traversing
a few miles, so its speed would have
TO be greatly exceeded by the indiUdu-
al desiring to penetrate into space.
IL projectile could be fred at a
rate Of 10000 feet per second, writes
Charles Nevers Holmes In Popular Sci
ence Monthly, 1t would probably never

When science makes possible an ini-

about seven miles, then projectile
would burst through the attraction Of

SULZER CONES
BACK AT WICK
IN YALDEZTAL
Especial to the Daily Times)

VALDEZ, Oct. 19.-Delegatc Charles
astic meeting here tonight. The dele
gate rendered a complete account of
his activities in behalf of Alaska at
Washington, and was frequently in
terrupted by prolonged applause
clearly indicating that the audience
was we'll pleased with the energy
shown by the delegate when looking
after Alaska affairs at Washington.
Delegate Sulzer analysed the vari-
Gus speeches made by Wickersham,
and showed the fallacy of Wicker
shams pretended claims to having
worked sincerely while he was in of.
fee for the advancement of Alaska.
The delegate conclusively established
from the records that Wickersham
during the eight years he had been
out personal animosities that he had
no time left to devote to needed legis-
lation for Alaska generally
Mr. Sully fully disproved. to the sat
isfactiOn OF all, every charge Wicker
sham had made against him during
this campaign He established Wick
ersham's insinCerity in regard to home
rule from Alaska. and read from the
record in the contest case where Wick
erSham had stated that when he drew
up the organic act of the territory he
deliberately worded it so that the
Alaska legislature was not to be
trusted with power to alter or amend
election laws.
Mr. Sulzer has covered the Anchor
age and Seward districts. and after
holding meeting at Cordova will
proceed to the First division for the
tail end of the campaign.
Those who have made a careful can
vass of the Third division are abso.
lutoly confident that SuI2cr will carry
it over Wickcrsham by more than five

A BUDGET PROPOSAL.

That the budget plan heretofore referred to
as having been introduced, would be approved
by the Massachusetts, constitutional conven-
ton was expected, because it is supported by
Boston IS fortunate experience. The convention
has not yet taken final action, but its probable
course is indicated in the vote sending budget
proposal to the committee on form and phrase
ology. The budget plan has been adopted by
every nation except the United States, and a
constitutional convention would show little
of the strength of the demand for
this reform if it did not provide for its in
corporation in the instrument to be submitted
to the voters. The city of Boston has reduced
its debt four million dollars since adoption of
the budget system, while the debt Of the state
of Massachusetts, has increased twenty million
dollars in the same period. Of course other
factors have contributed to these movements,
one in the right and the other in the wrong di-
rection, but the changes are significant, and the
value of the budget system in the promotion
of economy and efficiency can no longer be ques-
toned

FALL STYLES AND 1.-THE PRICE"

zone great advantage in the present styles,
says New York City writer on the modes, is
that one may wear almost anything. 1t
seems reasonable to suppose that necessity Is
here at least the stepmother of invention; that
we may wear what we can get, because we must
wear what we can get. 1t is basis for real
economic inquiry, this rise of prices in wearing
apparel. Some things are readily understood.
We know all about wool; we know lot OF
things about cotton and credit the adnalnlstra-
ton with knowing even more; leather and labor,
transport and taxes, all these and more have
their part in the leveling that lifts the price OF
what we wear But yet something ought to be
accomplished by the spare use OF materials;
many garments have so much less to them than
of old that the price ought to even up. Then 1t
seems to require only rumor to send prices
kiting; we have seen as never before the sym
pathetic bond between thread and tailoring,
steel and corsets, paper and padding; the ru-
NOR of shortage in the one causes leap to
safety-frst position in the price of the other.
Fancy may run free in the fall styles but 1t
will find crimp put in the demand if it be-
comes extensively ni1nble.
