Bureau of Investigation Of the Depart
ment OF Justice, and to Ben A Matthews,
Assistant United States Attorney. before
his arrest on a charge that ultimately
became treason. was read to the jury
yesterday at Frickes trial in the United
States District Court. Fricke was ar
rested May 20. 1918, and has been in
the Tombs prison.
Fricke maintained in his story that
he had aided the alleged spies, Vessels
and Mime. Victorica, after the United
States became a belllgerent only to the
extent of concealing their ante-bellum
activities and their presence in the coun-
try from the Government. He asserted
that he had become involved with them
preceding the declaration OF the war
through his business connections. He
was New York manager for Richter a
Co, German dealers in toys and drugs
whose office w4s at 1890 Washington
street. Adolph richter, head Of the firm

Fricke took her TO meet Rodiger At an
uptown hotel. Fricke said that the wo-
man told him she knew Rodiger In
Berlin. While he was with them they
talked on innocuous subjects, Fricke
said.
Fricke described Rodgers relations
with Behrens as follows:
"Behrens or Binder had received
money. $4,000, and he (Rodiger) drew
from that amount until think there
was $4,000 left Then Binder died,
Rodiger told me. and Behrens did not
want to give any more money; I sup
pose he wanted to keep 1t for himself"
Fricke Appeared Dissusted.
FrIcke's attitude at the time OF the ex-
amina ton was one of disgust with the
way he had been treated by vessels and
other Germans. but particularly oy
Richter. his employer.
Thomas ]. O'Neill. chief Of counsel
for Fricle, fought vigorously against the
admission OF the photographers record
of the examination as evidence.
Fricke said he was 80 years old. was
born in Germany, came here in 1904 and
was naturalized in 1912. He visited
Germany every two years before the
war.
The Government opened yesterday.
The case was presented by George Win
ship Taylor and Robert p. Stephenson,
Assistant United states Attorneys.
Mr.. Taylor in his opening address said

Of the statements made by Fricke while
he was ostensbly trying to assist the Of
ncials were false. He said Vessels re-
| ceived between $4,000 and $4,000 a
month. He said the Government would
prove that Frlcke knew Of Wessels's ac-

An Elephants Hair

Many persons wonder why young
elephants have hair on the top OF
their heads. This seems peculiar,
but the answer is really simple
enough. Historians tell US that, in
prehistoric times, mighty masto-
dons and mammoths were covered
from head to tail with very
coarse hair, which, in many cases,
grew long. So the elephants fore
fathers had long hair, but as the
world changed with regard to
weather conditions, from the bitter
frosty glaciers that were encount-
tered to the modern climate of ex-
IRENE heat and cold, the clephane
gradually DOTTED his overcoat. The
hair sometimes seen on the top Of
his head alone remains as a re-
minder. Christian Science Monitor

The Story Of Tommy

Once upon a time there was a poor
woman and she wanted some chill
dren, but she didn't have any. She
was sixty years old and thought she
would soon die, but she said she
would never be happy till she had
some children. So one day she
went to a place where she heard of
some children and she took one of
them home with her. She gave it
every thing she had. She spent all
her money on it and she named it
Tommy. And Tommy grew up to
love her and the old lady died when
she was ninety years old, Tommy
was heart broken. But kind lady
took him to raise and was very nice
to him, but he missed his mother
more and more, he would often cry
for her. But Tommy grew moro
every day. Finally he was twenty
one years old. He got older and
older till finally he died. His adopt
ed mother grieved over him SO did
his father and sister and brother,
But Tommy got to see his mother
at last.

Old New England

Sunday was very dull day in
New England The people had to
get up Sunday morning early to go
to Sunday school and church. The
children could not play in the after
noon.
In church the people would leave
their OverCOats on all morning in
the winter, because they did not
have stoves in those days.
The boys would have pew all to
themselves. The men had a pew,
too, and so did the women and girls.
There was Il man who had long
pole, which on one end had brass
knob and on the other, a rabbits
foot. When a boy was bad, he
would hit him on the head with the
brass knob. When the women
went to sleep, he would tap them
on the head with the rabbits foot
end.
The people had big dinners on
Sunday.
The people did not celebrate
Christmas very much, because
England celebrated Christmas, and
New England did not like England
very much,
Thanksgiving was the big day.
They would have big dinners. They
had turkeys, chickens, pineapples,
all kinds of vegetables, corn, apples,
bread, butter, cake, all kinds of
pies, buildings, potatoes, beans and
peas. The children played games
and popped corn.
The children used states instead
of paper They had reading, writ
ing and arithmetic.
Some of the houses had as many
rooms as twelve. Some of the rich
people had a houseful of servants
that did all the work. They lived in
small houses close by. There were
colored children running every
place, getting in their masters
way. The men who owned these
houses were very happy.

There was once a little boy who
dreamed there was a stick of candy
as high as telegraph pole.
He jumped up out Of bed and put
on his clothes and started out to

He walked and walked until he
met an elephant. The elephant
said, "Eny, meny, miny mo; won't

Il know stick Of candy as high
as a telegraph pole and am going

plant. Il can hold it with my

So they walked and walked. Aft
er while they they met sawfish.
The sawfish said, "Eny, meny, miny,

So they all started off. After
while they came to the mountain.
They climbed up the mountain and
when they got to the top, they saw
the stick of candy.
The boy put his arms around it;
the elephant put his trunk around
it; and the saw-fish began ia saw.
And they lived happy ever after.
