FRANKLIN, Ind, April 2.-The

lowing the verdict Of a jury which
deliberated only 20 minutes before de-
Gliding against the state.
The Judge told the jury that the
evidence in the case was not sufi-
cient to warrant the death Of the cor
poration. The state sought to have
the charter of the company forfeited
and a receiver appointed on the
grounds that some of it's contracts re-

ENGLAND PREPARES DRASTIC CAMPAIGNC
 ON ALL SMUCGLERS
(RY Associated Pressl


 LONDON, Jan. 21.-Hundreds of miles of lonely stretches along the coastline of England and Scotland will shortly come under the eagle eye of the revenue department focus ed from the skies in an airplane. A fleet of machines has been added to the existing equipment to protect the northern and eastern Scottish coasts, long suspected of being the favorite stopping off places of international smugglers.
 Patrolling the long coastline sur rounding England, when almost every section is within days run from countries producing dutiable goods, has always been problem for the British government except for the few intervals when the Liberal Free Trade party occupied Downing St.. In Victorian days only in the pOpu- lous sections was any permanent en- deavor made to guard the coast line against smugglers. Revenue ships often made circuits of the island, or busted themselves in some locality suspected of harboring defaulters against Her Majesty's rightful du- ties, but daily patrolling of some B. 800 miles was not even attempted
 Faster travelling, which develop ed after 1895, found the government also in a comparative condition of

speed, and in single year the per sonnel of the coast guard was trebled and all of the English coast and much of the inhabited Scottish coast was patrolled. Certain sections in north ern Scotland where several hundred miles are not broken by a single will lage or cabin always have been a source of trouble to the revenuers Heavy seas have not allowed the small revenue boats to be used, and the cold winters made it impossible for man or beast to make such a long journey without shelter in sight
 During the war it was necessary to use the personnel of the coast guard for other work, and the smugglers were handed over to the watchful- ness of the British Navy. The navy smuggling to almost nothing, but after the armistice and before the end of the years necessary to reor- ganize the guard, smugglers became more active than ever before
 According to reports there were S9O convictions last year for smuggling and about $15,OO0,OoO worth of goods were confiscated.
 The revenue department has now obtained fleet of hydroplanes which will cover all the bare spots along the coast, and for the first time in history every bit of coastline of the islands of England, Scotland and Wales will be under surveillance.

Editor Gateway: What would Christ do if he came to Seattle? Was Sodom and Gomorrah any worse than our present day metropolis?
 Ans. Seattle is not an unduly wicked city as cities go nowadays Perhaps little more graft exists in high places due to the indorsement of vice by the present mayor, but his reign will be short when the people of the city really realize the name he is giving them. There is more vice in Seattle today than existed in a whole flock of biblical cities of the olden days.

BERLIN, Jan. 21.-The secondary schools of Prussia have decided against co-education on the ground that girls are generally superior men, tally to boys up to the time they are Is. Thereafter the boys surpass the girls in general intelligence. This in equality of intelligence, it is argued puts both the boys and the girls at a disadvantage if they are compelled to attend the same classes.

Editor Gateway: What do people mean when they say "he has the eye of an eagle"?
 Ans. An eagle instinctively ad- justs the vision of it's eyes so that he can see an object just as plain at a distance of ten miles as he can at 20 feet. This is made possible because the eye of the eagle is surrounded by 15 little shutter-like bones that over lap each other a very little and com pletely surround the ball of the eye. If an object is a great distance away the bones open and the eyeball flat tens, but if the object is nearby the shutters contract and squeeze the eye ball in a rounder form. As the eagle is noted for the keenness of it's vision so is the keen sighted man said to have an "eagle eye"
