LAW AS TO COLOR BLINDNESS

Superior Court

Color blindness does not mean total

Judge Pendleton's decision cleared
legal point raised only once before
In the United States, so far as is shown
by court records. This was in Ne

and the State Supreme court held that
color blindness means total blindness.
The question was raised in suit
brought by George L. Fallin, who was

association, however, declined to pay

Chinaman and His Queue,

On April 16, at what was once the
village of Fanpoux, I met a Chinese
who was trying to grow a queue. It
was only about a foot long and did
not improve his appearance any. That
day while out in the fields salvaging
ammunition, his nose told him he was
in the vicinity of some unsuccessfully
buried foreigners. He was hardened
by this time to all sorts of disagree
able things, but the incident went to
the back of his head and only served
to strengthen his belief that he should
grow a queue. Foreigners wear their
hair cut short. He had been in France
going on two years and had long since
concluded that he did not want to.imi-
tate them. Hence the queue.-World's
Work.

the hint given of our intention to an

The other Sunday it was Mary Ell

custom of the school carried with her
four pennies to place in the birthday

Still smiling she stood in row with
the other birthday children and wait

When it was taken to the others and
she saw them put their pennies into
the basket Mary Ellen became dis
tlnctly uneasy She seemed about to
flee; then to reconsider and stayed.
But when it reached her, instead of
dropping her pennies into it as the
others had done she held to them
very tightly indeed and said: 'No,

brings about a rapid and continuous augmentation of expenses. causing un- rest and strikes, which in their turn disinish production, making to reia- tions between the classes increasingly difficult and dangerous.
 Furthermore the situation gives the character of alarming instability to the whole economic life of the coun- try, rendering possible abnormal oc- currences and gravely disturbing home production and foreign commerce.
 Takes Defensive Steps
 Italy has adopted all measures at home which will contribute to the de- organization but her efforts must be complex must have an international solution.
 Tt is in the interest of America herself that the exchange question should not become worse, but should immediately be solved by international agreement. We must all act together for the safety of all and in my opinion the problem must be attacked immedi ately and energetically.
 Tt might. at first sight, appear that the United States has no immediate interest but this question of exchange will end by being most injurious to the United States. If steps are not taken in time there will be one of the most colossal crisis the world has ever seen. and America. will be drawn into it. It is imperative that condition of equilibrium be reestablished i'm mediately.'

DESCRIBE REIGN
 OF bAND|TRY IN
 TEXAS DISTRICT
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

FL PASO, Texas, Feb E. W. NevilI's story of his attempt to defend his ranch on the Rio Grande against marauding Mexicans was told today to the senate subcommittee inveStigat- ing the Mexican situation. It was the beginning of a record of outiawry in what is known as the Big Bend, that has been prepared for presentation to the committee. which expects to de- velOp the causes of conditions requir- ing the maintenance of a strong force of American troops along that part of the Mexican frontier.
 Mrs. James Carney, once a wealthy resident of Mexico City, and now car- rying messages here for a telegraph company, related a chapter of her misfortunes in Mexico to the commit tee. Her husband, she has been as- sured, she testified, had been killed by bandits. Ruined financially, he had gone to Durango early in 1915, and it was from there he started with a few other Americans on a tramp across country toward the west coast. They had been ordered out of Durango by the Mexican officials. One of the party succeeded in reaching Mazatlan and was named as the authority for the statement the others had been killed.
 One of the several punitive expedi- tions conducted by the American army was incident to the fight made by Nevill. It was in March, 1918, he told the committee, that his ranch just south of Van Horn. Texas, was at tackled. His 1S-year-old son, Glenn NevilI, and a Mexican woman house. keeper were with him when the at tacking party arrived early in the evening and without warning began firing into the building. For several hours Nevill stood off the attackers, adding that he knew that he had "got two of them." He planned to leave the building some time during the night and find refuge in an irrigation ditch. It was part of his plan to expose him. self enough to attract the fire of the Mexicans and in that way make more certain the escape of the boy and the woman. 1t was not until the next day, he learned his plan had failed. He had succeeded in reaching cover but his boy had been shot to death and his body mutilated. The woman also had been killed.
 The assault on the property ended with the appearance of troop of the Eighth cavalry. while another troop, pursued the Mexicans 40 miles into their own country.

 Proceedings
IRepublioan A. p. Leased Wirel

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Feb A. Two bits of testimony, given today in the trial of Senator Truman il. New berry and six score Michigan polite ians, were considered by government attorneys as important to the charge Of conspiracy, which they are seeking to establish.

 Walter Chappelle. editor of a coun- ty weekly at Harrisvilie. Mich, testi- fled that Benjamin F. Reed, another defendant had solicited him to become organization, and told him:
 The freight will be paid
 Defense Offers General Objection
 The eighteen witnesses on the stand today practically all testified in the face of a general objection by the de- fense. This objection, entered as wit ness after witness took the stand. and overruled by the court, was to the eff feet that the government had failed to prove that conspiracy existed to violate the federal election and postal laws, and that therefore the individual acts of defendants could not be offered in evidence at this stage of the pro- ceedings.
 Federal Judge Sessions held that government counsel had d right to marshal their testimony as they saw fit.
 The government forces were in turn frequently overruled when they tried to confine cross-examination of their witnesses strictly to the material de- veloped by the direct questioning. De fense attempts to search the motives Of witnesses in certain campaign acts were, however, halted by the court.
 Women Witnesses Are Popular

Shanahan testified that he had received $40 from John B. Harris. chairman of the committee and one of the defendants. w. H.

 Among the witnesses were a num- Der of stenographers and typists em- ployed at Newberry campaign head merous defendants they had seen cash. and some of them related that there was a cash chest in the vault al headquarters.
