Automobiles to Carr
individual Stills
Prediction of Edison

Boston, June A prediction that
automobiles within a few years,
would carry individual stills to pro-
duce fuel for their operation was
made last night by Thomas A. Edi,
son, jr.
Discussing carburetion at the
graduation exercises of the Knights
of Columbus Automobile school, the
son of the inventor said he had beer
seeking substitute for gasoline foi
10 years. The problem would be
solved, he said, by the manufacture
of individual distilleries to be at
tached to cars, the stills to be oper-
ated by the heat and motion of the
motor. ..-

Jury in Trial of Negro Convict
Who Killed Guard Reaches
Verdict of Murder in
35 Minutes.
Victim Stabbed to Death

Lincoln, June 4.-(Special.) y
James B. King, negro convict who
killed Robert L. Taylor, penitentiary
guard, May II, must die.
A jury in Lancaster county dis.
trict court this afternoon returned q
verdict Of murder in the first degree
against King and recommended the
death penalty.
The verdict was reached in 8;
minutes, the case having been given
to the jury at 2:35 and returned to
the court room at $40.
Marched Into Court.
Officers were sent to the peni-
tertiary for King and he was
marched into the court room at $50
His handouts were removed and
the verdict of the jury read to him
He was then handcuffed and returned
TO the prison.
There wasn't change in the ex-
preston on Kings face as he stolidly
held his hands out to Warden Fcnton
for the handouts.
1t was the best way to do it, "
King muttered as he was. being taken
back to prison. Prison officers stated
this remark referred to the theory
which they held that King, when he
Killed Taylor, did so partly to settle
a grudge and partly to insure his
own death. King has told officers
that he tried to kill himself several
times and always failed through his
fear of pain.
This theory was strengthened dur
ing the trial when it was shown to
the jury that King had requested
the county attorney to see that he
was electrocuted and said:
TRY to see that it won't hurt
me"
Asks for Smoke.
The attorney presented these re-
quests to the jury. When he reached
the prison, King asked for smoking
tobacco and writing paper.
Warden Fenton said tonight pris-
On records showed King had ninth
grade education, instead OF fourth
grade as the defense claimed,
The court room was crowded with
men and women. Daughters of
Rctert l.. Taylor, the murdered
guard, sat in front seat as the YER
dict was read. They made no COM
ment.
The defense has three days to ask
for new trial Until then the Judge
will moi set 4 date for the elecrocu-
ton. Under the law King must be
electrocuted within 90 days after the
death penalty is pronounced, unless
legal complications, similar to the
Cole and Grammar case delay.
The defense pleaded emotional IN
sanity.
The state demanded the death
penalty.
Confessed to Murder.
He will be the third person to be
elcctrocuted in Nebraska, the other
two having been Alison B. Cole and
Allen w. Grammer for the murder
OF Mrs. Lula Nogt
Judge w. f. Stewart will pro-
nouncc sentence on King.
King stabbed Taylor to death
while on his way to his cell from
supper. Taylor had reported King
for breaches of prison regulations
and the negro had been placed in
solitary confinement as punishment.
He slew the guard but few days
after he had been released from soli-
tary confinement. He confessed.

DICKENS HOME IN
DAYS or BOYHOOD
He Worked in Backing Factory at
the Time.

A member Of the St. Pancras bor-
ough council has offered to present the
freehold of Is johnson street, Somers
Town, the home of Charles Dickens
during several years of his boyhood, to
be preserved as a permanent memo
rial on condition that the council
makes a grant toward its upkeep.
This is the house in which the nov
elist's father, John Dickens, established
himself after his release from the
Marshalsea. 1t was at this period of
his life that Charles Dickens was work
ing in Warren's backing factory, de-
scribed in the 18th chapter of 'sDavid
Copperfield." Warren's warehouse was
originally lat Hungerfood Stairs, close
to the present Charing Cross railway
bridge. but about the time of John
Dickens release it was transferred to
Ahandos street, Convent Garden, where
little Charles continued TO manipulate
the backing pots, but this time in a
window facing the street, where he was
gazed on by crowd of onlookers out
side
The boy felt degraded by his posi-
tion and sobbed by the hour at his lack
of opportunities for further schooling.
His earnings were small and it was
with deliberation that - -andered
round the pudding shops and the beef
houses comparing the prices and dis
covering where he could spend to the
best advantage the pence he could af-
ford for his midday meal.
However, soon after settling at ID
johnson street, the novelist's father
found himself in a position to send his
son to school again. and, to little
Charles delight, he left the backing
warehouse and went as day scholar

BRAND AN UNUSUAL TYPE.
Picturesque Head of French Delegates
Has Had Varied Career.

Perhaps the most striking and pic
turesque foreign delegate to the arma-
ment conference is Aristide BRAND
Premier of France, who headed the
French delegation.
BRAND has thrice served France as
premier His home is in the big indus
trial city Of Nantes, at the mouth Of
the River Loire. He began his public
career as leader of the socialists. This
fact, however, did not deter him from
throwing the entire power and author
ity Of the French government against
the organized railroad workers of
France when they inaugurated their
nation wide strike in 1910, which they
anticipated would place all of France
in control of organized labor. NJ.
BRAND broke the strike by calling all
workers TO the eolors," in which capa
city they were under military rule and
oath and could not, without being
guilty of treason, lift their hands
against the French government. He
did this upon the ground that "the in
trrest Of the whole nation is supreme
and must and shall outweigh the in
terests Of any class, section or bodv.s
In addition to being three times
premier of France. prior to the present
premiership, he has served as minister
of the interior minister of justice and
minister of forein affairs He is al
SO connected with the lcgue of nations.
and is president Of the allied supreme
council
NJ. BRAND has been called ''the intel
lectual Colossus Of France. and Is
said to WELD an influence such as is
welded by few men OF contenpora-
neous history.--Philadelphiai Ledger.
