W0BbLY CASE IN HANDS OF
 IHf JURY

Seminary Hill. Vanderveer disagreed with the courts instructions relative to self-defense. He said also that he had not been permitted to make a showing which he said would have shown that Warren Grimm was the aggressOr.
 Judge Wilson, in instructing the iury, said the law of self-detense do- rs not permit of the statiOning ot armed men at outside points and any person or persons have right to de- fend themselves or property from act ual or threatened violence.
 Addressing the jury direct, Judge Wilson said: eff you find any two or more of the defendants planned to defend the I. W. w. Hall by stationing armed men in the Avalon or Arnold hotels. or on Seminary Hill, for the purpose of shooting from these points the placing of such men is unlawful acts. If such was done and as a natur- al result or probable result Warren Grimm was killed, such killing was murder"
 Judge Wilson said that in case Roberts was found insane, a special verdict must be returned as to the liklyhood of a recurrence, providing 't was found he was insane at the time of the crime. but not eXistant now.
 If Smith merely advised the others to repell the attacks, acquit him.
 Prosecutor Cunningham, in open ing his argument, said he wanted a legitimate verdict free of bias or pre- iudice. He said the arguments and the testimony of the defendants showed they were guilty on their own state ments and admissions on the stand.

Wilson Appeals For
 StarUing Children

Washington, Dec. 13.--President Wilson today called upon his "fel- low countrymen to contribute funds to save three and one-haf million children who are facing starvation in Central Europe" The president announced that he would adopt 20 of these children as his temporary wards and said that $10 contributed through the European relief council would save the life of a child.
 "Three and one-half million chil- dren are facing starvation in Gen. tral Europe" said the presidents statement Ut is estimated that they can be tided over until the next harvest by money and service equivalent to $50 per childr. The countries involved can furnish two thirds of this cost in the personnel and machinery for distribution, but for the other one-third they must

 Since 1914 our people have given with unparalled generosity, and they should not rightly be called upon for additional charities.

Old Nick Carter
 SaUes BOy's Life

Rlvtheville, Dec. 13.-Oll Alfred
 of Gosnel. five miles west of here
 is today thanking his stars for the possession of one of NICK Carter
 bloodiest thrillers. This volume ot literature saved the live of the young farmer last night in an attack upon him by a bold highwayman.
 Young Alfred, tiring of the pros pect of a long evening without en- tertaiument, determined to fl6e over to a neighbor's home and bor- rcw a book with which to regale himself and the family circle sitting around the open fire. After going through the library of his friend, the searcher for knowledge chose a 5OO-page piece of literature chock- full of interesting detective stories by such famous authors as Old King Brady" Sherlock Holmes and Nick Carter, and stared home Tn the murky darkness of rainy Sab bath night.
 Upon passing the mouth of a long lane Aired was accosted by a ban dit. who demanded that he throw up his hands and deliver over such property as he might have. How ever Alfred was armed, and, de- clining to do as directed, he thrust his right hand into his overcoat pocket for his artillery, at the same time clutching the precious literature just over his heart with his left hand. Seeing that the intended victim intended ti resist, the high wayman fired pointblank, his bull let penetrating some 253 pages of the tightly clutched classic and spending it's force at the chapter where Old King Brady caused 50 redskins to prematurely bite the dust. Bending low on his mules neck, Alfred made wild dash into the night and was soon out of gum shot, At page 253 of the life-saving volume a 38-caliber pistol bullet was found. Mir. Alfred was unable to identify his assailant.

WANTED TO KNOW ALL

He was no travelling man. That much was noticed by clerk in the consolidated city ticket office at Main Street and Court Avenue.
 "Let me have sleeping car ac- commodations on the train to New York;" said the man approaching the clerk cautiously.
 For a single passenger" asked the clerk, smiling.
 "No," replied the man. "Tm married, but I am not taking any body with me. A single shelf will answer, I suppose"
 Upper or lower?" again asked the clerk.
 "What's the difference?" inquir- ed the passenger.
 "A difference of about $4," an- swered the clerk.
 The passenger paused, as he fum- bled his money, and the clerk ex- plained:
 You understand of course, the higher is lower than the upper. The higher price is for the lower berth. If you want it lower you will have to go higher. We sell the upper lower than the lower In other words, the higher the lower"
 "Why do they al lask for the low err" asked the man.
 "On account of its convenience, !" replied the clerk, hastily. Most persons don't like the upper, al- though it's lower, on account of it's being higher, and because when you occupy an upper, you have to get up to your bed and then get down when you get up. I would advise you to take the lower, although it's higher than the upper, for the req sons 1 have stated, that the upper is lower than the upper because it is higher. You can have the lower if you pay higher; but if you are will ing to go higher it will be lower."
 For a time it seemed a sthough it would be necessary to call an ambulance and send the bewildered customer to a hospital.

 q suggest to my fellow country men that the circles around their Christmas trees will be incomplete unless, mingled with their own ex- pectant children, they shall visual ize some of the waifs of Central Europe stretching out their thin hands to pluck from the boughs of the trees, not toys but bread, with out which they must perish.
