shows, ct cetera. Music was furn-
isbed By brass band from Center
town The entire program was
greatly enjoyed by the fatteringly
large crowd present. The proceeds
will be used for the benefit of the
school. The active control of this
was entrusted to Prof.
w. p. Rhoads. He was most loyal
ly and efficiently assisted by the
other teachers, members of the P.
r. A, other patrons and, above all,
the pupils themselves. Each one

 EXAMINE FLAKE
COURT CLOSES THURSDAY
Alleged Murderer Of Wallace Wilson to be Tried Later if Specialist
 Pronounces Him Sane.

George Flake, alleged slayer of Wallace Wilson, whose beheaded body was found in the woods in Cypress township last October, will be eX- amined tomorrow by Dr. C. c. KirE, superintendent of the state hospital for nervous diseases, to determine whether or not he is sane, Prosecuting Attorney w. J. Waggoner said today. If the alieniest decares Flake, who has been indicted for murder in the first degree by the present grand jury, to be sane, his trial will be set down for an adjourned term of the present session of court, Mir. Wag- goner said, and if he is found to be insane he will probably be transfer red from the county jail to the state hospital
 Flake has not yet been arraigned and his counsel has not interposed in- sanity as a defense for him, but the state attorney anticipates, in view of the fact that Flake is said to have confessed to the killing, that this will be the defense offered for him, and in order to save the expense of trial, 1t was decided by the prosecuting at torney to test his mental condition before the trial.
 The grand jury will adjourn this Wednesday, afternoon without bring ing any indictment against s. D. NJ. Flake and wife, father and mother of George Flake, E. H. Edwards. Jr.. Mon Honsinger, David Williams. Mrs. Edna Wallace, (sister of Georqn Flake and widow of the slain man). Mrs. Jodie Flake, (wife of George and Mrs. Frankie Edwards. all of whom were arrested as accomplices Tn the killing. All of their cases. it was stated, will be referred to the next grand jury, as the present grand Jury was unable to secure the attend ance of some important witnesses in the case.
 The unusually extensive labors of the present grand jury were practi- callv completed at noon today. Two or three witnesses remained to he ex- amlned this afternoon and adjourn ment sine die was to DC taken as soon as ther testimony was heard and the final report completed
 The January court will adjourn to- morrow, Judge George w. Clark said this afternoon. Three separate liquor cases against Check Winston, who has already occupied much of the time of the court, remain to be tried and are docketed for tomorrow. This will conclude the work of the present ses- sion, Judge Clark said

Griffo "Sour on World" That
Once Acclaimed Him
as a Hero
BY DAVIS J. WALSH,

NEW YORK, July GA littlo
figure whose eye and jowl betray a
wasted past, walked aimieszly down
Broadway early today and. reaching
Times Square, instlnctively turned
west on Forty-second street to tho
doorstep beside the Republic the
ater where one may rest peacefully
provided one is quiet and unob-
trusive.
There was nothing Of the unusual
about this figure. There are thou
sands OF them walking the streets
OF New YORK and iolling on park
benches II the weather les kind. They
have plenty OF time And every
last man of them has a story TO tell.
Figure Tells Story.
This one Is not telling his. His
lips have nothing to say on the sub
Ject, but his eyes. his clothes and
his bearing. as he made ready to
compose himself upon the ungra-
cious marble, We're more than elo-
quent. They were garrulous.
4 disinterested glance up and
down the street and the man sat
down to watch the human tide
flow on as he watches It daily with
an eye that holds not the slightest
interest in what 1t sees. lie heaved
a sigh. Young Griffo was home.
Yes, Young Griffo. the dcbonair
lightweight champion OF the distant
past. no longer a lightweight. Tho
gay young blade who came out Of
Australia years ago to amaze the
f!stic world with his speed and clov-
erness. He is no longer young and
gay. The man who could stand on
a handkerchief, according to legend,
and avoid punches with ease. lie
could not stand on a tablecloth and
avoid a paralytic. so fat and broken
Is he.
Once Good Fellow.
Griffo, the man who was a good
fellow when he had II. He IL not a
good fellow now because he has not
got any part OF IL. He Ia broke.
Mayhap. he reads the newspapers.
II he did so today he will learn that
Benny Leonard and Lew Tender are
to meet tomorrow night In n no-de-
cision bout that will net the pair OF
them some s250.0OO. The first
three digits OF that sum would make
Young Griffo rich beyond all dreams
today.
But the chances are that Griffo
would tell you he does not read the
newspapers nowadays. There Is too
much bad news in them. Even the
