HARDING BUYS THE
OLD HOME PLACE
LIFE AS GENTLEMAN FARMER
IN OHIO PLANNED BY Exc,
CUTIVE ON RETIREMENT.

MARION Ohio-When he leaves
the white house, President Harding
plans to return to the scenes Of his
early childhood, to become a gentle
man farmer and spend much OF his
time writing.
This was announced here today by
the presidents home town friends,
following his purchase yesterday OF
the farm in North Bloomfield town
ship, Morrow county, where he was
born. The purchase consists of
265 IL acres and was made by French
Crow, Marion postmaster, and init
mate friend OF the president.
The original farm where the presi-
dent was born consist OF 1855 IL acres
and is far away from any railroad. 1t
is about a 20-mile drive from Marion.
The land is described as rolling, with
corn the principal crop.
The house in which the executive
was born is still standing, although
in a bad state of decay. At present
it is being used as a storage space
for farm machinery.
President Harding has told close
friends that he expects to visit the
farm in July, and possibly sooner,
to plan Improvements.
The farm was purchased from
Harry E. Erickson, who has owned
it for several years and whose wife
is a second cousin of the president. 1t
Immediately adjoins the quiet little vii
lage of Blooming Grove, a town OF
about 200 persons, where the presi-
dent obtained his first schooling The
village of Blooming Grove was laid
out and founded by Simon E. Hard
ing, a great great uncle OF Warren
c. Harding.
President Harding lived on the farm
until he was 7 years old, when his
family moved to Caledonia, in Marion
county, about ten miles northest of
this city.
His first impressions and recollec-
tions were obtained on the old farm.
1t was there he played about his
daddy's barnyard as a chubby-faced
little fellow He first experienced the
joys of the old "swimmin' hole" on
the farm in little creek that cut
through the 1885 IL acre tract.
The presidents father, DIR. George
T. Harding, ST. who is a practicing
physician here, today told of the presi-
dents earliest ambition.
He wanted to be, fisherman.
The desire came from frequent
fishing trips with his daddy in the
creek running through the home farm.
Intimate friends say the president
never has become a good fisherman,
although he plays at the sport at
times
Announcement of the presidents
purchase developed the fact today
that Dr. George T. Harding, jr., of
Columbus, recently purchased the
birthplace farm Of his mother, who
was a Dickerson. The old Dickerson
farm, three miles south of Blooming
Grove, consists of 90 acres.

Fire Extinguishing
Pistol Shoots Dust
Operates By Shooting Carbonate
Of Sodium Over Scene of Fire.

Berlin night Watchmen are now
equipped with piece of fre-hghting
apparatus which has all the appear
ance Of a pistol and is used in much
the same manner. 1t is dry eXtin
guisher making use of a cloud of dust
for smothering the flames. Compared
with old forms of extinguishers it
seems better able to combat a we'll
developed fire, as it operates by the
rather unique means of shooting
powder over the scene of the fire. The
powder itself is nothing new, being
merely the carbonate of sodium which
has so often been employed in fire
extinguishers. 1t is packed into air
tight iron cartridges provided with a
cap, like hunting ammunition; and by
means OF conventional bayonet clasp
these cartridges are easily and quicyly
affixed to pistol shaft, thus actually
forming the barrel of the latter. A
simply constructed trigger allows the
gun to BE cooked and discharged its
contents then being sprayed very eff
caciously.
Experiments with this eXtinguisher
have been most encouraging. The ef-
feet Of about 900 grams of the powder
is to suffocate a blazing fame extend
ing over a space OF three cubic yards,
with a single shot, Even benzol and
gasoline fires can be thus eXtinguished
if the fame has not gained too great
extension. In case one cartridge is in
sufficient further cartridges can be
shot off until the fire is under con-
troll. In the case OF buring walls and
hangings the use of the cartridge eX-
tinguisher is particularly satisfactory.
For use on automobiles the eXtin-
gushing pistol is also highly recon-
mended

RREEDLOVE CASE
GOES TO JURY
This AFTERNOON
Masterful Speeches Mark
Closing Hours of
Second Trial
First Degree Verdict is
Demanded by the
4! Prosecution

Second trial of Phil Breedlove,
charged with the murder of Rex
Samples in a local hotel on February
5, 1929, because of alleged miscon-
duet between Samples and Breed
loyes' wife came to a close this
afternoon after more than week
spent in hearing testimony and the
ease turned over to the jury for de-
liberation.
The defense rested its case late
yesterday afternoon, following
which Attorney Harry b. Ellison,
associated with r. r. Simon in the
prosecution, delivered the state g
opening argument to the jury III
which he asked that Breedlove be
convicted of first degree murder,
torming the crime a deliberate and
cold blooded one. He contended that
Breedlove carefully planned the
shooting Of Samples and had come
to FL Centre on the day Of the
shooting, primarily to "get' the
man whom he accused of wreeking
his home.
Masterful Pleas Made
! Upon the resumption Of court this
morning, Frank b. Erzinger, asso-
ciate counsel for Breedlove, pre-
sented the argument for the defense
in an impressive manner, claiming
that Breedlove shot Samples during
a period of mental alteration, caus'
ed by brooding over his troubles If.
ter he had learned that his wife had
been guilty of misconduct with
Samples.
Following Mr.. Erzinger, Joseph
r. Seymour, Jr., chief counsel for
Breedlove, delivered masterful
plea in behalf of his client, his voice
now and then ringing with emotion
as he pictured the destruction OF
Breedlove's home and family, ant
sinking to whisper as he recounted
the illicit relations which he eharg
ed the testimony showed existed be
tween Mrs. Breedlove and Samples
and discovery of which it is charged
drove Phil Breedlove in a moment
Of insanity, to kill.
Stirring Appeal by Simon
Attorney f. r. Simon, conducting
the prosecution, closed the ;,rgu
mcnts with stirring appeal FOR up
holding of law and order ana the
tradition of the American people
that those who break the law must
pay the penalty for their transgres
sions.
At the conclusion of the argu
ments, Judge Franklin j. Cole in
structed the jury as to their delib
erations, defining the many points
of law that must be taken into con,
sidcration in reaching verdict. The
jury retired shortly after 4 O'Clock
