HANOVER, Germany, Dec. IL
Fritz Haarmann, butcher OF young
men and boys, was declared sane
today by two alienists who took
the stand at Haarmann's trial.
1T is wrong said the first
alienist, Professor Schulze, ito con-
cIude that such criminal must be

deeds can be committed by sane
person"
Schulze then went on to relate
Incidents in Haarmann's life. This
brought an emphatic objection from
Hartmann. The aIienist then
pointed out that Haarmann has
had lifelong dread of insane
asylums
The second alienist was Doctor
Schackwitz. He testified:

The navy bill just passed by
the Senate provides for the
"modernization" Of thirteen battle
ships by adding blisters to their
underwater hulls to resist tor
pedo and mine attacks; heavier
deck armor for, defense against
bombs; new oil-burning boilers for
six ships; money for six river
gun boats to cost 100000 each,
and eight scout cruisers to cost
$11 ZOO, 900 each.
The bill as passed ~ def;es

(3) encourages waste, (4) forgets
the budget, (5) adds no fighting
power to the fleet, and (6) re-
fuses the two weapons without
which our navy is doomed in war.
No Strength Added.
An analysis of this bill reveals
the fact that an expenditure of
$110. 100000 will add not one iota
to the actual fighting strength of
our navy in battle. This bill pro.
vides for nothing but patches to
our battleships. and the addition
Of fourteen cruising ships, big and
little, to our surface fleet-nothing
more. The word Submarine" is
not found in the building program.
Not an ounce of strength is added
to our naval air force. And vet
without these two forces, above and
below the surface of the sea, our
fleet will remain as it In today
helpless in defense and completely
impotent in offensive war.
Our battlefield is strong as such

Oil Burners Necessary.
OF course, new oil-burning boilers
should be supplied the six battle
ships. They are useless if their

Is their only real weakness. Money

This is the newest role which
the jockey turned pastor. now on
trial for his life for removing an
embarrassing husband from his
road to happiness with Elsie
Sweetin, is to assume.
His counsel, Nelson Layman,
let this be known today, formally
announcing that, when the time
came, the little circuit-rider would
argue his own case before the
jury which will hold his life in
their hands. This course, Layman
holds, will serve q double pur-
pose-first, it will give Hight a
chance to protest his innocence,
and second, it will enable the jury
to accurately gauge the mental
capacity of the preacher.

Hight will not again be placed on
the witness stand, Layman said. as
he has a tendency to wilt under
hot cross-examination.
The State today was placing on
the stand it's final witnesses, and il
was expected to close its case late
this afternoon.
Yesterday the town folk of Ina
who have seen Elsie Sweetin grow
up from pig-tail days. AMI who
have worshiped at the shrine Of
the minister, had their day. They
took the stand to repeat the GOSSIP
