Wonderful Poison Gases.

Canned, solidified, poison gas, which
is claimed to be absolutely foolproof
and mobile, has been perfected for use
by tie American soldier, according to
Popular Mechanics Magazine. That
two studies-defensive and offensive
gas research-go hand In hand al
ready has been demonstrated, for, in
addition to the development of new
forms of gas, army experts at the
Edgewood (Md) arsenal, have had TO
improve the gas masks to make them
effective against some of the new
gases brought into existence there. In
technical military progress, every new
weapon means a call upon the armorer
for a new defense. AS a result, this
country today has not only gases
which surpass anything used during
the World war, but mask which, in
recent tests was worn "a hours a day
for week, except at mealGme, with
out any discomfort whatever Breath
ing was normal, speaking was simple,

Cotton Stalks Will Furnish Paper.

The possibilities of cotton stalks as

The nearest approach TO success has
been made recently, and it is an

mobile was arraigned before the may

The accused protested, said 1t was
poor law under which he was fined

The mayor declared any law found

him. The defendant said he couldn't
see where a tail light had anything to
do with the Bible. The mayor looked
pityingly at the accused, and said:

TESTIFIES
AGAINST FATHER
Tells How Emil Schultz Killed Entire
Family and Burned Their
Bodies.

MIDDLET0WN, Conn, Oct. l2.-Jul
Jus Schultz, second son of Emil Schultz
G0-year-old storokeeper of Shailerville
testified against his father yesterday
when the trial of the storekeeper on
charges of numbering three members of
the Bali family on Dec. 10, 1875, was re-
sumed in superior court.
Julius, -, who served in the navy
Through the World war, declared that
his father placed two bags of oil
soaked shavings against the shack where
the Ball family lived, set fire to the
shavIngs and shot Joseph Ball, his wife
and their l7-year-old son, Jacob, when
they attempted to flee from the house.
After the shack fire was well adj
vanced, the witness said, his father
dragged the three bodies into the burn
ing building. He and his father then
went home, he testified.
Under cross examination by Gustaf
b. Carlson, counsel for the defendant,
the witness said the first person he told
of the shooting was his brother. Wal
ter. on May II last, and then he re-
peated his story to State S Attorney
Inglis, of MiddleseX county. Under fur
ther cross-examination, the witness adj
mTtted he would like to see his father
convicted.
In his direct testimony Julius Schultz
iLOiu OF Il dispute DcINtth HIS IdLltI

a piece of land in Shailerville. He de-
clared that on the afternoon before the
tragedy Ball shot at his father and him
self as they were driving past the Ball
place. ne .rr
Witness said that he carried a can of
oil that night when he accompanied his
father to. shack which had been used
by wood choppers employed by Schultz
and then his father set an alarm clock.
He quoted his father as saying;
when the alarm goes off we will go
to the Balls and burn them down.
The alarm rang at ? a. m. and his
father arose and they took the shaw
ings to the Ball shack, where he placed
them against the door and his father
lighted them. 4
The Witness told of screams and shots
as the fire spread and the Ball family
tried to escape. After the third shot,
the witness said, he saw Jacob Ball,
who was lying on the ground, raise a
revolver. The witness said he fired
twice at young Ball with a rife, but did
not hit him.
Walter Schultz. eldest son of the de-
PENDANT, testified briefly. He said he
was not at home on the night the Ball
shack was burned.
William. third SON of Schultz. also
was a witness. He said lie remembered
his father leaving the house the night of
the BAH fire, but he knew nothing of
the fire until the following morning. Re
|ferring to the argument over land, he
testified that his father once said that
he could not sell the property as long
as Ball vas alive.
Telling of a visit to the Jail to see
his father, witness said his father of
fered him "several thousand dollars -
if he would help get his brother Julius
