All Men Are Liars

We sit around at eventlme,
and TRANQUILITY we lie, and tell OF
fhow our cars can climb stupen-
dous hills on high. We used to
be truthful lot before the auto
came; we used to ween and wist
and wot that falsehood was a
shame. And when from fishing
trips returned we stretched the
truth a yard, our conscience like
a bonfire burned, and scorched
us pretty hard. But that was
in time gone by, time that's
vague, remote; and now we sit
around and lie, each of his old
tin boat. And when we to Our
beds repair, some alto SHORES to
spring, does conscience, while
we're lying there, make night
solemn thing? Does she point
out that falsehood's wrong?
She tries that stunt no more !; |
we've lied so much, we've lied
so long, that conscience is a
bore. Our old tin cars are red
with rust, they're long since out
of style, and something's always
sure to bust before they go a
mile. We're always tinkering
with tools, DER motors broken
down, and hiring farmers with
their mules, to haul us back to
town. But when we smoke Our
evening pipes the fiction graft
prevails, and Ananias has the
gripes if he can hear our tales.
And so we sit beside the sea, and
TRANQUILITY we lie, of how Our
autos climbed tree, and did the
trick on high.

to keep all women employees out Of
the building during the noon hour yes

writer for throwing a bomb. Police

on guard around the building and on all

the threats as the intended victim Of
the mysterious bomb throwers, waited
in vain for the attack until after one
o'clock and then went TO his lunch.
sWhen ne returned he said that he
was being threatened for his activity
in prosecuting violators of the pro-

state police, who were in headquarters

larson ring" turned its torch on the
Fayette City district again early to-
day, after two weeks Of inactivity.
They fired forr structures, one barn
on the farm of Andrew Brown, presi-
dent OF the Fayette City National
Bank, e mile and half east of here,
which was destroyed with its contents
The loss was $4,000.
The three other fires were at the
home Of George Stark, one mile from
the Brown farm; the residence of
Fred Dreyer, former councilman of
Fayette City, in Main Street, and the
grocery and lodging house of John
Kane, of Gillespie, a mining town just
outside Of Fayette City. The total
losses from recent incendiary fires in
this area has reached $500000.
Six other attempts were made to set
fire to buildings, all of which were
unsuccessful. due either to the flames
being discovered before they made
headway or else dying out.
Road to Farm Blocked
Taking extensive precautions lest
their plans go awry, the freoug :
blocked the main road to the Brown
fa1n at intervals OF mile fol more
than four miles, using steel tar bar
rels and logs. The Chartered depart
ment arrived 800 late TO save the struc-
ture, after having been delayed all
along the road by The DISTINCTIONS
The fire, breaking out in four diff
ferent sections of the barn, modern
structure and one of he largest IN this
section, was discovered by Mrs. Brown
and her SON, Clark. Mrs. Brown tele-
phoned the Charleroi department.
When the fremen arrived the barn
Was in ruins.

dence, the blaze started on rear porch.
The loss was $500.
The fourth fire, which destroyed the
store and lodging house OF John KAN
caused loss of $4,000.

and Theft of $4,000
Insanity Plea Is Secuted
Prisoner Unconcerned and
Polls jury; Accomplice
Will Be Tried January 4

CAMDEN, n. j., Dec. 2O.-Frank !.
James to-day was found guilty Of mur-
der in the first degree for the killins
of David S. Paul, bank messenger. on
October 5 last. The jury was out
orty-fve minutes. Supreme Court
Justice Katzenbach announced he
would sentence James on January 4,
the day on which the trial Of Raymond
W. Schuck, charged with the same
crime. begins.
James heard the verdict unainch-
ingly. He demanded poll of the jury
and each member was required to an
nounce his verdict individually. The
verdict virtually condemned James to
death IN the electric chair because the
jury made no recomm endation for life
Imprisonment.
John Harris, counsel for James, an
nounced he would file an appeal on
three grounds. First, because there
were no women CT the jury; second,
because the court would not permit
James's father to testify to hereditary
insanity in the family, and, third, be
cause he charged the confession was
extorted from James by unfair methods
by Prosecutor Charles A. Wolverton.
Insanity Plea Refused
James's plea Of "taint Of INSANITY
in the blood" offered by his counsel,
WAS refused by Justice Katzenbach He
ruled that unless the defense sub
mitted evidence to prove that James
was insane at the time Of the killing
OF Paul, no testimony could be ente--
tained to show that the prisoners mind
might have been unbalanced when he
c0rr n itted the crime.
Paul disappeared on October 5 with
$40 600 in cash aod $4,000 in checks
which he was taxing from a Camden
bank to Philade phia banking institu-
ton. Eleven davs later his body was
found in a shallow grave in the Jersey
pines in Burlington County. Suspicion
was directed to James, who was the
last person seen with Paul Schuck
was arrested later as an accornplce
Both are alleged TO have made confes-
sions, accusing each other Of the crime
James also wrote Z confession, in
which he declared that he and SchucE
rad spent four days in Philadelphia
making merry on some Of the money
they had stolen from Paul. Most OF
the money was found buried under 4
Il ,wer pot near the grave of Schuck s
