TRY DENVER PRIEST ON
DRY LAW ACCUSATIONS
Jury Probably VIII Get Case Today
sisters Name Was Forged to
Application.

Denver, July 25.--The case of
Father Walter A. Grace. whose trial
began in federal district court here,
yesterday, probably will go to the
jury today. in the opinion of attorneys
interested in the trial. The defend
ant. former pastor of the Shrine of
st. Anne at Arvada, a Denver suburb,
is charged with forgery in connection
with applications for permit to ship
liquor In considerable quantities to the
Millen Home for the Aged In this
city. The name of Sister Germaine.
superintendent of the home. was
signed to the application. The latter
says she did not sign 1t.
: The cleric claimed in q letter to ].
X. Mullen. founder of the home. that
in obtaining liquor for the institution
he was actuated by the highest mo-
tives. Some of the whiskey that
reached Denver presumably for the
home later found its way into the
cellars of Denverites who are prom
inent socially, according to govern
ment agents.
Sister Germaine testified that Father
Grace signed an application for per-
NIT to obtain and transport one bar
rel of liquor returned later and told
her the application had been can
celled due to error whereupon she
signed another application supposing
it to be for one barrel. The applica-
ton presented as evidence in court
yesterday called for ten barrels.

TWO LIVES THREATENED
BY "TAYLOR'S SLAYER"
Man Under Arrest In California Is Be
lieved to BE Hallucination
Victim.

Martinez, CAL, July 25.--Albert
Sans, alleged author OF threatening
letters to Mabel Normand, film ac-
tress, and to Mack sennett, motion
picture producer. was held today
pending hearing to determine his
mental condition. Police declare he
apparently is obsessed by an hallucin-
alton that he is responsible for the
death of William Desmond Taylor.
screen director slain In Los Angeles
In 1921.
The missives to Miss Normand were
loosely written, but the text of some
indicated that Sans entertained an
idea that he was engaged to wed the
actress.
In spite of the similarity between
the name of Sans and that of Edward
Sands, valet who was sought in con-
nection with the killing of TAYLOR
authorities secuted the theory that
the men are related.
For more than a year Sans had
worked as a section hand for the
Southern Pacific Co. In his rooms
police said, were found MANY m
mailed letters addressed to Miss Nor
mand and Sennett.

LIGHTNING RODS
FIRE PREVENTERS
Blazes Can be Prevented BY
Proper Equipment Of Dwellings

New York, July 25.-Property own
to equip their buildings with lightning
rods by the National Board of Fire
Underwriters, which today declared
that 80 per cent of the fires caused
by lightning could thus be prevented.
The losses by fire caused by lightning
total $30,000,000 annually.
A widespread indifference to this
form of protection exists, however.
due to the swinding methods en-
ployed by lightning rod dealers in the
past, and the fact that 1t is highly
difficult to obtain an expert who can
determine whether or not installation
has been correctly done.
Careful research by electrical au-
thorities including DR.. Charles P.
steinmetz of the General Electric
company. and Thomas A. Edison have
proven conclusively the efficiency of
the lightning rod as safety device.
the Underwriters declare,
To guarantee property owners that
their lightning rods have been prop
erly installed and are protection in
stead of menace, the Board of Fire
Underwriters has adopted plan
whereby a representative of their or
Eanization inspects all installations in
his district and affixes a master la
bel'' to the work If 1t proves worthy.
Insurance companies will grant
reduction of insurance for lightning
rods, in states where reductions are
allowed, only on those buildings
where the master label is attached
along with the Identification tag OF
the company which made the installa-
ton" the statement declares.
Laboratory service will be provided
by the Fire Underwriters, where ma
terials submitted by lightning rod
companies will be tested for certifica-
ton. The master label will be at
tached to the work of only those COM
panies which maintain an inspection
service along with their installation
service, the Underwriters have ruled.
No lightning rod company is barred
from this laboratory service.
The adoption of the master LABEL
system will mark an era in prevent
ing loss of property and life through
Lightning. the Fire Underwriters state,
and for the first tome standardize
lightning rod installation. The sys-
tom will cover the entire United
States and Canada.

Wooster uses the American Univer-

driven by an electric motor and a
