MONTROSS. Va, April 26.-Efforts
to complete the panel Of twenty jury

tire early session here today Of the
trial of Miss Sarah E. Knox, charged
with numbering Mrs. Margaret L
Eastlake.

opinions about the case.
Twenty Of the twenty-six names in

only four having been added to the

with her lawyers frequently when the
jurymen were being examined.
While her counsel have not stated
on what the defense will base its
case. the presence in court today of
the state, would indicate that moral
insanity" would be the contention Of
her lawyers.
The three alienists present were:
DR., j. S. De Jarnette, superintendent
of the Western State Hospital, at
Staunton, Va; DR.. A. L. Pretty. his
assistant. and DR.. w. F. Drewry, su-
perintendent of the Central State
Hospital at Petersburg.
Word was received last night that
Mrs. Meta r. Salter OF Ocean City,
N. j., sister of the defendant, would
arrive at Montross today and remain
with the accused woman throughout
the trial..
A. r. Crothers of Ocean City. who
testified in the Eastlake case as to
sharpening the hatchet for Miss
Knox, is also at Montross and will
be one of the principal witnesses
against the nurse
Sentiment still seems to be in ia
vor of Miss Knox. Farmers freely
express the hope that she will be
acquitted, as the reported marriage
of Eastlake has convinced them that
efforts have been made to throw the
whole burden of the crime upon her
shoulders.
Eastlake remains in Fredericks-
burg, and it was said last night by
w. w. Butzner that he would not
come to Montross unless 1t was i'm
perative.

The reason is declared to be the
disposition to relegate spelling, as
major study, to the rear.
According to members of the
commission the remedy lies in
compelling the teachers to give
the subject of spelling the atten-
tion which it deserves. This, thew
think, should be the case not alone
in the grammar grades, but also
in the high schools.
1t is expected the commission
will recommend to the state board
of education that the subject of
spelling have especial attention
at the hands Of all school super
intendents.

GREAT FALLS PARK
Committee Impressed With
Plea to Protect D. c.
Water Supply.

After the absolute necessity of pro-
tecting the water supply of the Dis
trict of Columbia and the govern
ton at it's source was impressed
upon the House committee on public
buildings and grounds today, there
was strong indication that favor
able report on the Linthicum joint
resolution. which has passed the Sen
ate, providing for development of the
Great National Park about Great
Falls. will be made.
Lieut.. Col. Clarence o. Sheriff., Of
ficer in charge of public buildings
and grounds, and Representative j.
Charles Linthicum of Maryland made
full presentation of the plan. Col.
Sheriff. estimated that $500 or 5000
acres of land will be required.
Representative Linthicum urged
that this land could be acquired now
much cheaper than at any other time,
and that it should be taken over by
the government, not only for park
purposes and to preserve the natural
tomac, but that it was absolutely
necessary to prevent pollution of the
water supply to the National Capital.
Both Lieut.. Col. Sheriff. and Rep
resentative Linthicum, pointed out
that in the District appropriation bill
for the next fiscal year project
which will eventually cost ss,700.000
for building a new conduit from
Great Falls to the District is author
ized. with s1,S00,000 made Immediate
Iy available, and authority to obligate
s1,15U,000 more is specifically writ
ten into the bill.
They told the committee that in order
to protect that investment and to pro-
tect the water supply of the city, which
any city should look forward, the preser-
walton of the wooded lands at Great
Falls and beyond should be protected.
Col Sheriff. called the attention of
the committee to the pollution Of the
water in the Tidal Basin, where chemi-
Gals have to be used in order that the
water may be sufficiently pure for bath
ing, and that a similar situation existed
in the streams in Rock Creek Park. He
also told the committee that his Office
had intended establishing a bathing
beach for colored people near Anacostia,
but found the water impure.
IF you want a good water system for
your National Capital in the furture you
must protect it from pollution at the
source" Col Sheriff. said. He told the
committee that the necessary land could
be bought reasonably now and that
Congress should provide for its acqui-
Sition.
