Judge Grout Discharges Accused When Black mail Charges Collapse -Skebo Arrested Af- ter Trial that Lasts "A Hours - Court Backs Up State Police.

"The accused is charged with blackmail. I do not find probable cause and the accus- ed is discharged.' With these words the trial of Hezekiah R. Elwood, constable of Fairfield, was brought to close by Judge Jonathan Grout in the Fairfield town court this morning.
 After a plea whi oh lasted for a half hour made by Prose cutor Bacon Wakeman and af- ter a most touching and stir ring plea made by Hugh J. Lavery, counsel for Elwood, the case, was brought to a close.

 The next witness called was Sheriff William H. Gould, who for seven years has been deputy sheriff. He was asked by Hugh Lavery: 'Did Elwood tell you about Skebo's arrest?"

Al the very outset we wish it clearly understood that we do not claim, and the warmest friends of the Ford offered cannot claim, 5f-5 it is without Objection" the report began. If the Ford offer is accepted. we do | not forecast that it will bring the
 millennium. But we fear that if it is
 reJected the waste and losses at Mus Gle Shoals since the arnistice will
 continue increasingly.
 l Certain objections to the Ford of-
 fer seem apparent but we insist with out fear of successful contradi ictit,fr, that none of the objections to the Ford | offer can he re11edied by government oWnerSh1p~sand operation at Muscle | Shoals. For Congress to adopt such | a policy when Henry Ford's offer makes 1t unnecessary for the govern
 ment to do so, would subject Con- gresS to the just condemnation and repfoach Of all sober-ninded people. Sweeping aside all controversy. confusing heafngs and debates, we believe that the present fuel and transportation energenceis will cause every member of the Senate to feel as we do, that the development of such great hydro-electric power as is found at Muscle Shoals is the only certain
 and permanent relief in the future
 from the present paralysis of Ameri- can industry.
 f'No electrified railway and no in- dustry served by water power can suf- fer suspension on account of fuel supply, because hydro-eIectric power both in it's production and distribu- tion is practically free of all labor troubles Fuel and transportation are the big national problems which now distress our people.
 Muscle Shoals with the Ford offer accepted may furnish an opportunity
 for the Senate to discover how such
 fuel and transportation emergencies
 can be, at least in part, avoided in the future"
 Summing up their reasons for urg-
 ing acceptance of Ford's offer, the seven Senators declared that Ford, if given the project. would: 1.-Contribute a great war plant to the national defense.
 i 2.-Provide for large scale produc- ton of fertilizer at reduced costs. 3.-Reduce the cost of hydro-elec-
 tric power to levels now existing in Canada and Norway where great nat
 ural waterway power projects abound.
 4.-Develop a great inland water
 way through the Tennessee valley.
 5.-Create a great industrial cen- ter at Muscle Shoals.

then TO become familiar with the
various sources of vitamines, that
she may not unwittingly deprive her

There are three distinct kinds Of
