PRESIDENTS RAM
DON'T BELIEVE
WAR EOVER

Hi" the prize ram OF President
Wilson's flock OF sheep. which
now are permitted to roam the
front grounds of the White House,
is on a regular rampage. There
have been several casualties and
a dozen near ones.
In front of the Executive Offices
yesterday sfternoon n he put "Dick"
Jervis, chief Of the Secret Service
detail. to flight, and drove him
through the glass doors at
merry clip. The burly animal
then turned on Eddie" Crocker,
Secretary Tumulty's chauffeur.
and "treed" him in the big tour
ing car for several minutes before
a policeman came to his rescue.
Down in the south grounds he
chased Jack" the diminutive col
ored youth, around for several
minutes before he caught him, and
a wrestling match ensued. Police
Sergeant McQuade was forced to
jump the fence TO escape, and De-
tective Sergeant Horne was an
other victim.
The sheep were to have been
sheared by Department OF Agri-
culture expert today, but because
OF the continued cold weather the
clipping was postponed. There
are twenty-six sheep and twenty
two lambs In the flock.

Girls who fear that the wear

may make the needed changes in

calling for extremely violent agi-

tight corsets, according to offi-

cility will be given such girls
to ease their pain.
whether a girl should wear a
corset while dancing is a per-
sonal, private, individual matter"
said one of the officials OF the
beach today. we would make
ourselves ridiculous by banning
corsetless dancers: for we would
be put to the embarrassment OF
asking every girl dancer ~ she
had corscts on. We understand
that many girls prefer to dance
with their corsets ofr-for rea-
sons OF health and comfort-snd

tournament WAS taken following this
mornings session until tomorrow

The Introduction Of testimony into
the case was brought to an abrupt
end this morning when Justice Gould
requested that all technical and alb
struse terms be eliminated as much
as possible.
The request from the bench came
during the cross-exsmination OF DIR.
william A. White. superintendent at
st. Elizabeth's. who had been called
by the defense to testify that Cock
relI was insane when he killed his
wife, Pearl Hortense Cockrell.
Assistant District Attorney OLeary
had been trying TO obtain DIR. whites
definition Of insanity, and had started
off with a line of technical questions
which previously had been put TO DR..
John II. Lind and DR.. Ladd. experts
for the defense.
"Mr. O'Leary, ! would suggest that
in your cross-examination you elimi-
nate as much as possible all techni-
cal, abstruse terms which few, very
few Of us understand" said Justice
Gould.
In answer to the direct question
whether he considered Shirley Cock
reIl legally insane. a question which
has been put to practically every wit
ness for the defense, DR.. White re-
piled:
mo man Is legally insane until he
has been so declared by proper legal
process, and as the defendant has not
gone through such process he could
not be declared legally insane. -.
Dr. White testified that Cockrell
was suffering from an emotional
storm" caused by love for his wife
and hatred for her, the combinations
Of which emotions resulted in an un-
sound condition of the mind.
No rebuttal testimony was intro
duced by the defense.

TOBACCO GROWERS

of the Burley Tobacco Growers Asso-

here Monday, with large attend
ance from the 81 counties in Ken

ing is for the purpose of ratifying
the action taken recently when the
organization was completed
Madison county is not officially rep
resented, owing to there having been
no association formed here or any
official delegates selected for the meet
ing. 1t was believed when the move
ment was first started that there
would be cooperation from Madison
county to the extent of an organiza-
ton. However, after it was voted to
include a crop next year, the move
ment locally stopped and there have
been no developments since. There
are no meetings called for any of the
growers of this county, and it is the
presumption of local growers that
there will be no further action in this
regard. At the last meeting held at
the court house one week ago Satur-
day there was no action taken re-
garding the perfection of an organi-
zation, although this was favored by

tidy sum, according to Adjutant Tur-

eral patronage. -
The closing features were appreci-
ated by the banner crowd of the en-
tire week, most of the shows being
exceptionally well patronlzed. There
were some especially interesting and
entertaining numbers on the program
the final night pleasing to the big
attendance. One of them was the

great wrestler, who accompanied the
exposition, and James Altman, of this

professional ability was in play for a
period of more than four minutes that
he succeeded in putting the Rich

This athletic feature was followed
by what was to have been a six-round
go between Knockout Nixon, of the
exposition company, and young col
ored man named Walker, of Rich
mond. He took the visitor on and the
exhibition that followed for a period
of trife over three rounds was out
