CHURCH SEEKS TRANSFER

1t was decided by the congregation
of the ElktOn Presbyterian Church at
meeting held following the morning
service Sunday to renew the fight to be
transferred from the Presbytery of
New Castle to the Presbytery of Balti-
more.
The congregation in accordance with
the decision reached at the meeting
Sunday will present a petition to the
Presbytery of New Castle at its meet
ing to be held Tuesday of next week at
Frankford, asking that body to give it.
consent for the withdrawal of the Elks
ton Church to enter the Presbytery of
Baltimore. While no delegates have
been elected by the Elkton Church to
the session of the Presbytery of New
Castle, it is likely that Dr. H. Arthur
Mitchell, one of the new elders of the
church, who is a son-in-law of DR.. John
McElmoyle, former pastor will attend
the session and present the petition.
The congregational meeting Sunday
was presided over by DR.. Joshua Wit
worth and no objection was voiced
against the proposed move of trying to
get transferred to the Baltimore body.
DR.. McElmoyle preached at both the
morning and evening services Sunday
on invitation of the congregation.
The Elkton Church controversy which
started about two years ago when OBJ
lection was made to DR.. McElmoyle
marrying so many couples that came to
the Cecil County Gretna Green from
other sections of the country has been
heard on various points involved in
both the Synod of Baltimore and the
General Assembly of the church. The
Elkton Church has been without pas.
tor since DR.. McElmoyle was ousted by
the Presbytery of New Castle as pastor.
A large majority of the congregation
who have stood back of DR.. McElmoyle
are anxious for the transfer to take
place.

The Key That Unlocks The Door to
Long Living

The men of eighty-five and ninety
years of age are not the rotund, wei!
fed, but thin, spare men, who live on a
slender diet. BE as careful as he will,
however, a man past middle age will
occasionally eat too much or of some
article of food not suited to his consti-
tuition, causing indigestion or constipa-
ton and will need dose of Chamber
lain's Tablets to move his bowels and
invigorate his stomach When this is
done, there is no reason why the aver
age man should not live to a ripe old
age.

 IN TOMORROW
Downtown Section to Be Orna- mentally Illuminated End of This Week or First of Next, According to City Manager
CFrom Fridays Daily)

Saturday night, or possibly not un- til Monday, the downtown street lights will be turned on for the first time.
 City Manager John Robinson yes terday estimated that by the end of the week Nyne Brothers would be through with their big job, and both the plaza lights and those outlining the streets in the central paving dis trict will be hooked up on the city meter.
 Since test run of the plaza lights, for which the juice was furnished gratis by the Arizona Power con- pany, little street lighting has been afforded downtown. Under an ar engagement between the city and county, the plaza lights will be shared equally by the two.
 Completion of the Vyne contract has been delayed somewhat by the weather, but installation of all the heavy work has been finished and it is believed the wiring can be finished in time for the formal turning on the end Of this week.

IL is a well known principle of cattle cases that the actions of a COW toward a cali that is alive and kicking, may constitute evidence of relationship, but Judge Sweeney ruled that inasmuch as cattle usually act peculiarly in the presence of fresh blood. the behavior of this particular cav was not conclusive.

WOUNDS SELF
 WITH BULLET.
Young Man at Pioneers Home Accidentally Shoots Self in Leg While Unloading Revolv- CT; Injury Is Not Serious

While unloading a revolver yester- day evening, Enoch Collins, dish- washer at the Pioneers Home, acci- dentally discharged the weapon and shot himself in the leg. The bullet took effect just above the right knee and emerged just below the joint. It made only flesh wound, though there is some possibility, according to Judge George A. Shea, superin- tendent of the home, who immed- lately called in Dr. Yount, that the bullet may have grazed the bone. This, however, is not strong proba- bility, he said.
 The accident occurred, Collins told Judge Shea, while he was unloading a revolver he had, an old-fashioned model Smith & Wesson.
 Collins is young man in his twenties who came to Prescott re- gently from near Oklahoma City: He secured employment as a dishwasher at the Pioneers Home about two weeks ago. He will, of course, be cared for at the home, which has a standarly-equipped hospital of its own.

SAWDUST IS ONLY PARTIAL PAYMENT
 OF CATTLE RATION
It is and it isn't.

It IS and 1t isn't.
 Such is the inconclusive conclusion reached by the bureau of animal in- dustry after experiments lasting four months to determine whether saw dust is a nourishing food for battle. As q fodder, say the experts, saw dust is admissible to the stomachs of cattle ii it IS unaccompanied by other foods. Its use as q "filleN IS thus established.
 The experiments were taken mp by the bureau of animal industry follow ing experiments of the Madison lab oratory, which were related here in an interview some months ago by H.. B. Wales, supervisor of the Prescott National forest. upon his return from the east.
 Four pounds of sawdust per day is the limit of any normal cows ca pacity in this direction, says the bu- reau's report to the local forest serv- ice. After that, fodder of greater nutritive value is to be depended up on for milk with a fair cream and butter-fat content.
 The experiments will be continued, to determine whether COWS fed a ra- ton of one-third treated sawdust and two-thirds real food, will afterwards exudc plausible milk.

HOSTETTER AND
 HOWARD FREED
Two Men Acquitted Are of Calf Stealing Charge on Directed Verdict Case Which Started
 Thursday, Ends Unexpectedly

Frank Howard and William Hos letter were acquitted by jury on a calf-stealing charge, when Judge Sweeney yesterday granted motion by defense counsel to direct the find ing from the bench.
 Ruling on a point of law involving an attempt by the state and the Co., conino Cattle company, assisting the prosecution, to prove ownership of the red, bald-faced calf mentioned in the information, the court blocked the states case. County Attorney John L. Sullivan went into long consultation with Perry NJ. Ling, the special prosecutor, and at its con clusion they moved for dismissal.
 The defense through C. (. Norton interposed another motion for directed verdict which was granted, and the case was ended, rather uneX- pectedly.
 The effect of the denial of the states motion for dismissal is that under the directed verdict the prose cution cannot be resumed.
 Attempts by the state to prove ownership of the calf were made the day before, but Fred Hawkins, chief state witness, was obliged to admit that the hide and head of the calf had been so far destroyed as to make it questionable that the animal the defendants were said to have slaugh-

CATTLE TRIAL
 IS UNDER WAY
tFrom Friday's Dauy)


 lions have arisen in the course of q short hearing of testimony in the grand larceny case against Frank F. Howard and William L. Hostetter, which started after nooh in superior court yesterday. Other points of law were in prospect
 Facing the court in this, one of the most interesting trials of the jury session, were the representatives of three administrations in the office of county attorney. The prosecution was being handled by County At torney Sullivan and his assistant, R. E. Westervelt, and Perry NJ. Ling, who was deputy under Lee Haworth, was employed as special prosecutor by the Coconino Cattle company. Neil (. Clark, county attorney before Mir. Sullivan, conducted the defense.
 Testimony yesterday was chiefly from Deputy Sheriff Fred Hawkins, the officer who arrested the defend ants for the offense charged in the information as the illicit slaughtering of one red bald-faced cali During cross examination, the defense laid great stress on the condition of the carcass when 1t was first viewed by the officers Mr. Hawkins testified that most of the hide had been burn ed, but that patches of it left were recognizable as that of red animal. The head had been cast in fire and was burned to "a crisp, the witness said.
 The state introduced i'll evidence three snapshots, purporting to show the ground near the Coconino border, where the alleged offense had been committed. The defense asked Hawk ins what each figure in the photo graphs represented. They might and they might not be men," said Mir. Clark. Continuing: Do you mean to say, Mir Hawkins, that that man is the paunch and offal?" MT. Hawkins said that this interpretation of the significance of the photograph was not necessarily the exact one. The man standing there, he said, was merely to show where those parts were when found.
 Il object to this sort of examina- tion," Mir. Sullivan broke in. These snapshots were taken and introduced merely for the purpose of showing the terrain"
 With that, the defense abandoned further attempts to identity the re- lationships of the various photo graphic figures.
 Questions of the admissability of certain forms of evidence were being passed up to the court during the afternoon, so that the examination of the first witness required nearly all the afternoon session. The jury had not been picked until few minutes before F o'clock.
 The defense line IS directed just now to the identification of the slain cali with the exact calf specified in the information, which sets up two distinct facts: the redness of the ami nal and the badness Of its face. It is understood that further testimony IS to be injected by the state to com plete the Identification of the unfor- tunate young beef.
 Adjournment was taken until the usual time this morning.
 These are the jurors in the cattle case: R. L. Hume, Edward Loy. James Terry, Ross A. Layne, w. E. Reese, George Montgomery, Robert Marian, D. G. Phillips, F. D. New hall, Con Johnson, ]. w. Swinney and William Crampton.
