An ancient story of the greed OF
kings has Ueen resurrected by an
erudite member of the Institute de
France, Mr.. Adrien Blanchet. The
fact is there is some p Uspective work
on hand for the utilization of the
RhOne water power. Thus do ancient
history and modern enterprise come
to hobnob in the revue des etudes
anciennes. The story tells how the
king of France, Charles IN, coming
one day TO Aries, saw the Roman Sar-
cOphagi and wished them his. He did
not covet long. for the next act in this
klngly episode was the shipping of
the most perfect of ROme's monuments
en- route for the capital city. This may
have furnished later king of France.
namely, Louis NV. with the precedent
for the removal of The statue of Mes
salina from BOrd, aux; not that that
mOnarrf eveI. needed either precedent
or encouragement for his actions. The
sarcOpl1agi started on their journey. 1t
was in the year 1860. They had unfOr-
tunately not gone beyond the famous
POnt-Saint-ItSprit. before the boats
sank beneath so unusual and we:ghty
a load. Now, the congress for the de-
velOpment of water power. which sat
in February us year, discussed among
other schemes the transformation of

The statement still stands however,

is interesting to quote paragraph
from a speech delivered at Sioux

forget that we have an autocracy in
this country that is ten times worse
than any autocracy in Germany.
am for CONSUMPTION of men to fight
this war, but this is a war brought on
by the rich for their own enrichment
and 1 am also for conscription, of the
money to pay for this war. 1 am for

the stock of the Wichita Northern,
formerly the Anthony & Northern
Hutchinson to Wichita, but the sub
scription can only be made condition
al that the road be built westward
from Wichita at least 100 miles, so
this ends the question of Mr.. Byers
building the Anthony & Northern
from Larned to Hays this year, if
ever. He has already purchased some
rails that were taken up from some
other road. that was putting down
heavier rails, and it will require all
his time, attention and money this
year to build out of Wichita, so as to
get that 100000 subscription, as the
law specifies it lapses after few
years.

Berlin, Jan. 3.-Germany will not

A section of the cabinet, 1t was
learned, was of the opinion the demand
for the meeting should be refused II
the French planned a "triumphal
entry"
The demand probably will be refer

new TRIAL TO.
CONTINUE
ANOTHER week
Prosecution viii Submit to Its
Three AIienists Questions
Practically as Long as the
Defense Prop0unded.

Los Angeles. Cal, Jan. 3.-There
were strong prospects today that the
Harry s. New murder trial would drag
out another week.
All day yesterday was consumed with
the reading of the hypothetical ques-
tion of the defense and the exami-
nation of DR.. Ross Moo.e, alienist.
1t became known today that the
prosecution win submit to its three
alienists question practically as long
as the one submitted by the defense.
There was little doubt but that de-
fense attorneys would subject prose-
cution alienists to a cross examination
as thorough as that given DIR. Moore
yesterday by District Attorney WOOL
wine.
DIR. Moore defined News case as one
of a moron with psychopathic per-
sonalitv whose mind had started to
deteriorate at two years of age. He
defined moron" as u high class inn
beetle, saying New had the mentality
of boy slightly under IL years OF
age, but had full physical development.
A psychopathic personality, he said,
meant that New could not adjust him
self to meet the stresses of life.
He said News mind began to de-
teriorate about two years ago when
he was on the Mexican border and that
i
night of July 4, when Frieda Lesser is
alleged to have refused to marry him.
| Harry S. News mental condition
was the subject of further detail tes-
tiruony when his trial opened today.
DIR. e. b. Hoag, of Pasadena, mental
expert and special lecturer for the
University of California, took the stand
as an alienist for the defense. He
analyzed News case as follows:
ca.. ..tny.
person; is of psychopathic PERSONAL
/ ity; paranoiac; suffers from demen-
tia praecox:' Is feeble minded and in
sane.
He based his testimony on an ex-
animation of New, a study of News
history and of the evidence and ,depo-
sitions presented at the trial.
1t was learned this morning that
the prosecution win not deny the alle-
cation that New Is of an inferior mind,
but will present expert testimony IN
an attempt to prove that he Is only
duh and is not demented.
New sat unmoved while DIR. Hoag
| lfguiutively picked his brain TO pieces.
DIR. IIoag's testimony was given In
| a more conversational style than any
so far introduced and was interspersed
with sparkling observations which
added to the interest.
There are many men practicing
/ law who are not balanced" he confided
to District Attorney Woolwine. "Yes,
many doctors, too"
| "Friedai Lesser must have been a
] remarkable girl not to have realized
News mentality" he declared, In
answer to n question. t
New had a theoretical knowledge OF
right and wrong up to his standard
of intellect" He agreed with DIR
Ross Moore. who testified yesterday
that News mentality was that of a
boy slightly under IL years of age.

New York. Jan. 3.-The end of the

will be left no empires and kingdoms
but the world will form federation of
the United States of nations. There
will only remain four great giants -
the Anglo Saxons, the Latins the Slavs

Thus prophesied Count Tolstoi. the
Russian philosopher, in 1910. Today. a

referred to many times during the re-
