How to Prepare the Fruit

If using berries, wash them well
and then hull and look over care
fully. Divide the berries into two
parts, placing about two-thirds of
them in a bowl. Brush and sweeten,
using powdered sugar. Now re-
move the shortcakes from the oven
and allow to partly cool, then split
open and spread lightly with soft
butter. Now place a layer of the
whole berries on the cake and then
cover these with the crushed fruit.
Place on the top layer of the bis
cult and dust we'll with powdered
sugar and serve with a thin Gus
tard sauce.
How to Make Custard Sauce
Place two cups of milk in a sauce
pan and add four tablespoons of
cornstarch. Stir to dissolve and then
bring to boil and cook for five min
utes. Now add
FOLK Of one egg,
! One teaspoon of UdnilId.
Beat to thoroughly mix and then
cool and chill. Place the white Of
one egg in a bowl and add one-half
glass of jelly. Beat this until the
mixture holds its shape. Beat this
into the custard sauce and then
serve on the cakes. This delicious
dessert will linger long in the men,
ory of those who are fortunate
enough to have the opportunity of
eating it.
Now the thrifty housewife of the
New England states also feels she
cannot afford the luxury of using
the best butter and an abundance of
cream, so she makes a shortca!le
that is delicious in its way and will
prove equally attractive. Make a
fruit sauce by placing one quart of
crushed fruit in the saucepan and
add
One cup of sugar,
Three tablespoons Of cornstdrch

luncheon-that is, half of it, and

MAYOR SILENT
ON REPORT OF
THE Grand JURY
Butler Blames Council for
Governors Police Probe Or.
der-Ure Firm On Pres
ent Station Site,

City Commissioner Butler stated
that the grand jury report, referring
to lack of leadership during the
afternoon of Sunday, September 20,
at the court house, justifies his con-
tention that the city council should
order a public investigation, as pro-
posed in his resolution, which will
be brought before the city council
for action Thursday morning.
"You will recall that my resolu-
ton provided for a public hearing
at which the governors representa-
tive should be permitted to take
part" said Mr.. Butler. This reso-
luton was laid over until the grand
jury report was received. If the
council had adopted that resolution,
it would not have been necessary
for Governor McKelvie to have
written his letter last week to the
mayor and city commissioners.
Favors Open Hearing.
"This hearing should be held and
it should be open. Let us know
what the facts and the truth are and
place the blame, if any, where it
belongs. l am going to insist
Thursday morning that the council
adopt my resolution. Where would
we get with a secret investigation
OF this kind?"
Mayor Smith was told of the con-
tents of the grand jury report with
reference to the police at the court
house and he was asked to express
his opinion.
II wish to read the entire report
before | comment and when I have
read it may not make any COM
ment," the mayor replied. CAS- |
stated before" he added, Il have
asked for reports from every men,
Der of the police department"
He added that he arrived at the
Harvey street side of the court house
as early as S p. m, on the Sunday of
the riot.

Ebersteiu to have every member of

will hand them to Mr.. Wilson, the

Commissioner Ure asserted that
he would not make any comment of
the grand jury's reference to the po-
lice department until he shall have
read the entire report.

Testimony, and Case Is Ended

Attorney Council objected to this,
as not coming within the range of
subjects opened up by the direct
examination.
After considerable argument Judge
Redick sustained the objection.
Attorney Shotwell then attempted
to question the editor about an edi-
torial squib of November 8, prior to
the publication of the contempt"
story, which squib read:
"Our grand jury makes a mis-
take when it permits itself to be
manipulated by the discredited po-
lice department in pursuit Of per-
sonal grievances"
Did you write that editorial?'
questioned the county attorney.
81 did," said the witness.
stop. Wait" said Attorney Con-
nell. Il want the answer stricken
out. The witness answered before
l could get in an objection, and I
object on the ground that it is not
cross-examination, and that | have
right to warn the witness that he
has constitutional right not to
answer the question if he so de-
sires."
The court admitted the objection,
and Editor Rosewater then said 'he
wished to consult his attorney be-
fore availing himself of a constitu-
tional right to refuse to answer a
question.
The Judge permitted the con-
sultation, after which Mr.. Rose
water again took the stand and said
that he had in fact written the edi-
torial

He was asked if he had written
it in reference to the Moore case,
and replied that he had not done SO.
Il wrote it following a CONVEX
sation l had with Sheriff Clark at
the JAIL" said Editor Rosewater,
Gin which we had taken up various
phases of the police activity in con-
nection with the work of the grand
jury, and attempts to get an indict-
ment against me-"
Editor Rosewater then testified
that on the evening of the publica-
ton of the editorial he had attended
an entertainment, at which Judge
Redick himself was present, and had
remained there until The Bee had
gone to press.

is not satisfactory, and therefore the
proceedings against him are dis

Holds Editor Rosewater.
The Bee, however, as publishing
company, has admitted the publica-
ton of the article, said the Judge,
and therefore must be held. IT'LL
In the case of Editor Rosewater,
said the judge, the decisions were
many that the editor of the paper
is its responsible head, and must be
held liable FOR the cast of his sub
ordinates. Whether or not Mr..
Rosewater knew of the news arti-
Gle before it was published made lit
tie difference, and if it did, the fact
that he had allowed continuous arti-
Giles along the same line to be pub
lished afterward indicated that he
had ratified the action of his subor-
dinates.
The court then announced that he
would hold Mr.. Rosewater, and was
prepared to impose the penalty.
Attorney Cornell asked that the
case go over until morning to give
him time to prepare argument for
an arrest of judgment.
THAT is a new kind of a motion,
isn't it," questioned the judge.
1T is merely. like motion for a
new trial in other cases." said At
torney Cornell.
The judge then announced that
he had already made up his mind to
allow the attorney five days to pro-
cure a supersedeas, for which con-
sideration the attorney thanked him.

Dismissing the charge against Re-

In announcing the determination
of this case | will take occasion to
say that the defense has rested I'M

already mentioned, that before in

the information of contempt | had

Preliminary to announcing the

81 think the articles entirely un-
justifiable, and inspired by a desire
to attack the police and Captain

beyond the line of defense allowed
the man under indictment. In the
evidence, however, l find a conflict
of testimony between two of the
grand jurors, and that of two other
