COLE IS GUILTY,
SAYS JUDGE IN !
REFUSING WRIT
Says No Doubt Man Choked
\ And Shot Mrs. Lulu
vogt for Her
Money.

Lincoln, March 2.-(Special.)-
This court feels that the verdict of
the jury and the sentence of death
is under all circumstances in this
case richly deserved and should be
carried out as soon as possible that
our laws may be respected and
obeyed," said District Judge Bayard
H. Paint of Grand Island in denying
a writ of "coram nobis," common
law molten for a new trial, for Al
son B. Cole.
Judge Pane sentenced Alison E.
Cole and Allen ". Grammer to
death in Howard county two years
ago for the murder of Mrs. Lulu
Vogt, the latter's mother-in-law.
Judge Reviews Case.
The judge issued lengthy opin-
ion, in which he reviewed the history
of the Cole-Grammer case, with par
ticular reference to Cole, after argu-
ments before him BY Assistant At
torney General Mason Wheeler and
]. N. Priest, attorney for Cole.
The execution of Cole and Gram
mer has been stayed until March 19
to dispose of Grammer's appeal in
the United States CIRCUIT court of
appeals. .
Touching on the question of Coles
guilt in the murder of the aged
Howard county woman, Judge Paine
said:
"In the courts opinion, Alison B.
Cole Us guilty of the crime charged;
first, because he deliberately and
upon the advice of his counsel,
Judge Wall, entered his formal plea
of guilty in this court. The court
is of the opinion that he is guilty,
aside from that voluntary confes-
sion, because of the surrounding
facts, evidence and circumstances
produced on the trial, which, out
side of his own confession of guilt,
would have been the basis of the
same verdict at the hands of the
jury; and in addition, his own
signed confession, made in the
Paxton hotel in Omaha, July II,
1917, set out with the utmost min
utia each and every detail of the
crime from its first inception to the
moment that he took the life Of

Goodyear Creates TUo Districts for
 Western States

Plans of the Goodyear Tire and Rub Der Company of California for hand ling business throughout it's territory comprising the 12 western states, for the fiscal year of 1920-1 1921, involve the organization of the territory into two divisions, with headquarters at Los Angeles and Salt Lake City.
 Each of these is divided int two dis tricts which in turn comprise the ter ritory covered by the various branch sales organizations. District offices are now located at Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Salt Lake City.
 The new plan concentrates much of the detail work in the district head quarters and permits the sales manag- CTS in charge of branch territory to de- vote their energies solely to sales ac- tivities. Operating functions are hand led under the supervision of an office manager for each sales territory.

ARIZONA CRATER IS MYSTERY

The so-called crater of Canyon Di- ablo in Arizona is still as much mys- tery as it ever was. The supposition IS that it was formed by the impact of a giant meteor. Perhaps the projectile was cmet. The crater is circular, three quarters of a mile in diameter, and 200 feet deep. But if it were made by meteor. the latter was presumably good bit smaller. Strong support for the meteoric theory is given by the finding of thousands of fragments of meteoric iron, some of them weighing many pounds, in the immediate vicin- ity of the hole. Repeated attempts have been made to dig for the meteor
 It should be mass Of metal (chiefly iron, presumably,) big enough to be worth getting hold of-though, of course. it's chief value would be as a

The past week has been one of un- usual activity about the premises of Cal Messner. It looked for awhile as though all of Messner's dealers had made a raid on his place for the pur- pose of getting new Chandlers.
 Thomas II. AcKivett of Globe came in and took delivery on a 7-passenger Chandler; E. $. Peters of Tucson, also a dealer, took away Chandler Dis patch model. To top this off, W. H. Hummer. Messner's new dealer in Fl Paso, who was originally the Chandler dealer at Beaumont, Texas, came into Phoenix, got on Messner's trail, and bought 50 Chandlers for distribution in Fl Paso. He took carload back with him.
 In addition to these sales to his dealers, Messner has just placed locally a 7-passenger with R. E. L. Shepard and another 7-passenger with T. E. Welch. J. F. Peck, cashier of the Tempe National bank, is also another Chandler purchaser of the last few days

BEST TO REPA|RCRACKED
 WATER. JACKET

As a result of an unexpected cold snap. water jacket may crack, due to q very slight freeze. If the crack is of some length it may be repaired by the following method. according to the technical editor of American Motorist:
 On the line of the fracture drill and tap for 9s inch threaded copper rod. This rod is screwed in firmly to a depth about equal to the thickness of the metal of the water jacket Cut off the copper rod with hacksaw. allow ing it to project about 1-32 inch then drill succeeding holes, each hole being drilled partly into the previously in serted copper plug, so that when all of the plugs are placed in the cylinder casting they form continuous band of copper along the line of fracture. The copper plugs should now be peened down and trimmed off flush. The only possible chance for leakage after haV ing repaired the crack in this manner, is for the water to follow the joint be- tween the metal of the jacket and the copper plugs; but as the copper rods are threaded into the castings, it is not likely to occur. Should leakage take place. little extra peening will suf- flee to prevent it.
 Stil another method involves fusing copper filings or granulated brass spelter into the crack. This has the advantage of not requiring the removal of the part to be repaired. Drill and tap a small hole at each end of the crack to prevent further extension of the weakness, and screw in an iron stud. Next clean the outside and in- side of the fracture very thoroughly. using a scraper and gasoline. File up some soft copper or brass spelter, and fill the crack, heaping the filings over 1t. Then take a powerful blow lamp or n torch and direct the flame on the copper. By this method a fair amount of metal can be worked into the open ing. After cooling the studs are cut off flush and the copper filed smooth.
 In many cases the crack may be closed by making a rust joint. The first step is to drill a very small hole at each end of the crack to prevent 1t from spreading, and to drive in or screw in a metal plug in each hole. The crack is then filled up with a paste made of 66 per cent iron filing or iron dust and B per cent salammoniac in the pulverized forr., with just enough water to make a mixture of proper consistency to be forced into the crack eaisly. The action of the salammoniac is to rapidly oxidize the fine iron fil- ings, producing rust which joins the various iron particles together and eff fectively seals the opening when it has properly hardened. As a number of prepared cements for use when cast iron breaks may be purchased at low cost, 1t is often cheaper to buy the cement than to attempt to make it.

curiosity of interest to science. One company organized for the purpose started to excavate at the crater's bot tom, but it's operations were brought 10 a pause by quicksand which the machinery could not handle. Now an- other concern, calling itself the Crater Mlnlng company, is drilling with two powerful rigs on the inner edge of the nole. IL IS thought that the huge projectile from the sky may have struck at an angle to the vertical. and that consequently the mass may not lie directly below the crater's center but off at one side. In some of the scattered meteoric fragments above mentioned were found tiny diamonds. which lend additional interest to the problem.-Cincinnati Inquirer.

OILERS BREAK TIE AND BEAT
 MESA N 1OTH

In game that was a pitching bat tie throughout it's eleven innings, when the Oilers brought home their winning run in the face of two outs, the stand ard Oil baseball team defeated the Mesa Independents yesterday after noon iE one of the fastest games ever seen in the valley. The score was 5 to ?, the Oil men breaking a to tie
 A crowd of 1000 persons saw the game. which was played at the Stand ard Oil grounds at Nineteenth avenue and Fillmore street.
 The sensation of the play was the pitchers duel between Cross for the Oilers and Gill for the Independents Both were in the best of form, and both received the steady support of their mates, though each side made four errors. Cross struck out 13 men during the game. and Gill s, while Cross walked three men and Gill four.
 As in the last game between the two teams the Oilers got good start by scoring in the first inning, bringing in one run. In the third the Oilers made their second run. After that, however, it was another story, the Phoenix nine failing to get another hit until the 11th inning, when, after two men were out. the third and winning run was made on hit by WestfaIl batting for Thomas.
 Meanwhile the Independents made one run in the second, and in the sew enth an error by Thomas of the Oilers came near bringing the Mesa men vic- tory, for it gave them a second run tying the game. In the tenth inning the Independents again came near a victory, and only close work on the part of Cross, with two men on bases saved the day for the Oilers.
 The Oilers have no game at present but expect to play some fast team in their next appearance.

TRIP OVER APACHE
 TRAIL EXPENSIVE.
 PLAN IMPROVEMENT

Ut cost me more than $50 to drive the 120 miles from Globe to Phoenix over the Apache trail," remarked J. T. Butler of New York, who arrived in the city yesterday on a trans-con- tinental trip. '.I don't begridge the ex- pense," he explained. because I feel fully repaid by the wonders which ma ture lays bare along that historic high way. That is scenery to inspire the soul and cannot be measured in dollars and cents. But how much more at tractive the trail could be made if the road were better improved
 According to garage men of the city who were interviewed on the subject yesterday. many motorists voice very similar opinions when they arrive here over the Apache.
 Tt is a very expensive trip for the motorist.' one garage man said. Be : cause of the many exposed rocks along the road, tires are mercilessly cut and biowouts are common. A tire which should stand up for about 5000 miles under ordinary conditions would not last more than 1000 miles over the Apache Trail Then there is a hard strain on q car which travels over a road in that condition which effects the engine and bearings. If that road could be kept in repair with funds realized by a toll system the motorist could afford to pay pretty stiff toll and then save money on the trip by the saving of his tires and repair bills.
 A meeting to consider the advis- ibility of a toll system or to plan other methods of improving the Apache Trail will be held in Phoenix next Sat- urday when railroad representatives. county supervisors and members Of the Water Users association will get together.
 William Sproul, president of the Southern Pacific railroad went over the Trail lasr Friday and expressed
