Sun S Rays Not as Hot
As They Used to Be,
Says Noted Scientist

CHICAGO, June 17.-Because the
sun is not as hot as it used to be
spring is far behind. according to
Prof. Henry j. Cox, of the United
States weather bureau here, and
Prof. Edward Frost. of the staff of
Yerkes observatory, in Williams Bay.
Wisconsin.
Sun spots, which in reality are
great sw!rling storms of gas and
flame, cast up haze which obscures
the suns rays and lowers radiation,
the authorities say. These sun spot
disturbances occur in regular Sc
quence and reach a crest about every
eleven years. Resultant decreased
radiation causes bad weather.

Has Seen Too Many Bottles
in Her Life to Identify Posi-
lively the One Offered as
Evidence

LOS ANGELES, Cal, June IL
A battery of sidelights on the New
Years night party at which Court
land S. Dimes, Denver oil operator,
was shot and seriously wounded by
Horace Greer, then chauffeur to Ma
bel Normand film actress, was ready
to be turned on before jury of ten
women and two men at today's ses-
sion of Greer's trial OF. 2 charge of
attempting to murder Dimes.
Greer does not deny that he shot
Dimes; but will seek acquittal on the
ground of self defense, according to
his counsel. So far no witness has
taken the stand to deny that Greer
shot in self defense, and even Dimes
himself has exhibited no eagerness
to testify against the chauffeur.
Miss Normand's description Of the
party at Dimes apartment, given on
the witness stand yesterday, was ac-
companied by many gestures, sore
of them Illuminating. many Of them
amusing.
She began with the day she hired
Joe Kelly to be her chauffeur. He
was Joe Kelly then, she explained,
not Horace Greer. She did not
learn his name was Greer until
all this trouble popped up"
Her narrative had progressed as
far as her arrival at the Dimes apart.

Edna Purviance. with Dimes, when
she again referred to Greer as Joe
Kelly. Reminded that his name was
not Kelly, at least In this trial, she
apologized.

I mean the defendant. How's that?'
Then Greer Arrived.
Well" she continued, II cleared
away all the cigarette butts you

And then Greer knocked on the
door.
Greer was not intruding, she said:

GEORGIA ASYLUM IS
BRANDED F|RETRAP
BY STATE AUDITOR

That the state sanitarium for the
insane at Milledgeville is inadequate,
that it's financial condition is UNI
satisfactory, due to lack of funds
for operation, and that the general
assembly should Immediately take
steps to remedy the situation, is the
recommendation contained in the re-
port of the state audit department
on the sanitarium, submitted Tues
day to Governor Walker by S. }.
Slate, state auditor.
1.-THE fire hazard at the sanitarium
is much greater than it should be,
according to the report, which rec
ommends that the Southeastern Un.
derwriters association direct sur
vey of the property with a view to
removing the deficiencies.
Il regard the fire hazard, par
ticularly the lack of fire escapes, as
a danger to life not longer to be
neglected" says the report.
The sanitarium now receives
100000 annually from the state but
every year there is a large deficit.
The non-payment of last years de-
ficiency appropriation of $239, S64.6S
is responsible for the large deficit
shown at present, according to Mr..
Slate. The general assembly should
appropriate sufficient funds for the
proper operation of the institution,
or should enact laws making it pos
ssole to operate on the present fl
nancial basis, it is stated.
The failure of the legislature to
appropriate funds to complete the
nurses home, on which $1,000 al
ready has been spent, is causing
great loss to the state, the report
declares, and no time should be lost
. in providing funds for the compile
ton of this building.
The report. which covers the period
from January 1 to April 80, inclu-
sive, shows that S542, 52222, has been
received in the general fund, and
that a balance of $10,52S31 remains
on hand to run the institution until
the close of the fiscal year, June 80.
The per capita cost per day is .644
cents, according to the report, which
is considered lower than the average
OF similar institutions. The net OPP
Grating cost of the sanitariuna for the
PEI 1 designated was $316,141.T8.
The total deficit on April 80 was
1929, $500.
Officers salaries for April, taken
as typical month, We're $5,S18.20,
and the wages CT other employees
ranged as follows: Eigh receive from
500 to 1925 per month; So receive
from SIS to sos per month; 129 re-
ceive from $50 to SIS per month, and
AIT receive from SIS to $45 per
month.
