HALE TO TAKE STAND
AND TELL OF TRAGEDY
Ii Is Said That Witnesses Will Be In.
troduced to Show That Hale Had
Reason to Fear Morse, Whom
He Is Accused Of Muir
dering.

The trial of George o. Hale was in
progress again in Washington county
court this afternoon when the defense
commenced the introduction Of evil
denee. Ii is expected that the respond
ent will take the stand in his own be-
half and that he, will tell the story of
what took place at the place where
Mr., Morse was killed, claiming that his
life was in danger and that he shot in
self defense. 1t is understood that
witnesses will be introduced to show
that Hale had reason TO fear Morse,
with whom he had experienced trouble
for a year. The iurvmen spent the
time Sunday at the Tracy and Lawson
farm on the north of Wrightsville.
They walked 10 the sugar bush in the
morning and were under supervision Of
Sheriff f. II. Tracy and Deputy A. A.
Emery Deputy Sheriff H. C. lawson
was also present. They had chance
to get their fill of sugar or syrup.
One of the peculiar things in eonnec-
tion with the Hale case il that not an
exception has been taken thus far in
the trial of the case on either size.
This is particularly interesting, in view
Of the fact that generally in criminal
Ease there are many exceptions taken.

saw a man on the inside OF the store

glass from the door. He Immediately
weat to the front entrance Of the
building, found the door unlocked and
entered the store. He went through to
the back door, where he had seen the
man. but the latter had evidently de-
cided TO make his departure.
Officer Canty telephoned the local
police headquarters and another officer
was sent to the scene. +. Per Lee
Smith, proprietor of the store, was
also notified and he went at once to
the store and began an investigation.
He found that the putty had been tax

the door had evidently been forced

LAWN LAID LIKE A CARPET.
Britisher Uses His War Idea to Grow
Grass for Lawns

Garden lawns cut to measure and
laid ike carpets is a fair promise OF
the near future, due to the recent in.
vention Of an Englishman, James Mac.
Donald The invention consists of a
specially prepared fabric on which seed
is sown. When the grass has well
sprouted the fabric is cut into lengths
and conveyed to its ultimate resting
place. S
During the war, at the invitation OF
the British war office, much use was
made of these artificial lawns in COW
ering trench parapets, which in the
ordinary way would have been exposed
to aerial observation.
II studied the soil Of the grass" said
Mr.. Macdonald, specially prepared my
fabric and sowed the seed When the
grass had well sprouted covered many
yards of trench with the fabric. It
proved success, for the position be-
came invisible to airmen. Unlike plant
ed wood and grass, the fabric was in
distinguishable from the ordinary
turf"
Mr.. Macdonald laid ten-acre fabric

France, and had il ready for use in six
months, and his invention has been
used in many other PLACES where it
was impossible to lay turf and inadvis-

Special grasses, he pointed out, have
to be grown for different localities, and
at the houses or factories at Harpen-
den he produces different varieties Of
fabrics, which are rolled into lengths
for conveyance to any spot where a
lawn, a cricket pitch, golf green or
tennis court is to be laid.
The fabric used is woolly canvass.

"PERJURED
TESTIMONY
And "Doctored Report" Is
Charged by Defense of
Expelled Socialists
FUMES OF LIQUOR"
ACCOMPANY "CRIME"
Says Assembly
Members Voted at Be-
hest of Leaders

New York, April 5.-Charges Of per
jured testimony and doctored record
in the trial of the five socialists ex.
PEELED last week from the New York
assembly were contained in state
ment issued today by the national
executive committee Of the socialist
party.
The closing hours of the shameful
proceedings at Albany, where the
fumes of liquor accompanied the com
mission of the crime, have awakened
many thousands TO the danger which
a war crazed reaction has brought to
the nation" read the statement. which
was headed "The New York Revolu-
ton"
After asserting that assembly mem
bers who voted to suspend know moth
ing regarding the charges and voted at
the orders OF their party leaders, the
statement said, "a trial followed which
was reminiscent Of the black days Of
the inquisition" and "pariured testi-
mony was introduced and refuted by
unimpeachable witnesses" The state
ment also declared that the record was
'doetored" for consumption OF news
paper readers.
For many years the statement
continued, the socialist party has con.
tended with the criminal practices of
the politicians in elections. Our voters
have been brutally slugged at the polls.
Having beaten over the combined OPP
position OF the two major parties, our
assemblymen are denied their seats in
the assembly chamber.
"A Republican form of government,
guaranteed by section four OF article
" of the constitution OF the United
States has been abolished by usurp-
ing oligarchy in the Capitol at Al.
bany.
Our resources are by no means ex-
hausted and the solidarity of all the
forces Of labor assures us
ultimate victory. We caution our
friends not TO permit any conduct that
would reflect upon the great cause OF
human emancipation.
The socialist party will not be driv-
en- underground by its enemies. 1t will
not allow itself to be manoeuvred into
a secret organization prosecuted by |
the enemies Of workers. Instead Of be- |
ing driven under ground, we shall drive
these treaeherous 'oligarehs into the OBJ
scurity of private life"

The Sweat of Other Mems Brows.

The important question is how to
keep farmers on the farms rather
than TO make farmers out Of town
people.
The United States railroad admin
istrstion recognized the need Of in
creased rural population in many Of
the states and advertised the advan-
tages of the country to the city dwell
ers.
Did the city folks accept the railroad
administration invitation to 90 to
farming Not to the extent Of crowd
ing the trains Many thousands Of
city people wrote TO the railroad sd-
ministration that they wanted to live
in the country-on farm of from one
to five acres. within committing dis
tance OF town. 80 they could enjoy
the comforts Of the country and the
convenieuces of the city. But that
DOES net solve the production problem
nor meet the situation.
Doubtless many town folk could 70
hsrk 10 the soil and get a satisfactory
living out Of It, but the hundreds of
thousands " them who don't know the
difference between a stalk of corn and
gOoseheTry bush would do well to
think tWicc before deciding 10 make
