A Remarkable Trial.

For oddity Of procedure and for gen.
erai unusualness the Hall-Mills trial,
now in progress at Somerville. \. j..
passes any court case ever known in
This country. In the first place, the
crime itself was exceptional. A clergy
gregation found slain in highly COM
promising circumstances. An immedi-
ate furore of investigation, with little
result in terms OF evidence to indicate
the identity Of the slayer or slayers.
The lapse of nearly four years, and
the apparent dropping of the case into
the category of unsolved crimes. A
sudden revival through significant
circumstances disclosed in the course
OF an ordinary divorce procedure only
remotely connected with the crime.
The appointment by the State of 4
special prosecutor, who with dynamic
energy attacks the problem and un-
covers evidences of a systematic pro-
lection Of the wife Of the dead clergy
man and her family by county OFF,
Gals. An investigation which elicits
sufficient testimony for the return of
indictments against the wife, her two
brothers and cousin. a speedy trial
and the securing of a STRUCK jury"
within an hour and a half from the
fall of the gavel of the presiding Judge,
despite the notoriety Of the case
Then, after surprisingly brief in

America merely jests about the
claim of Mansfield Robinson. a Lon
don lawyer, that he sent a radio mes
sage to Mars and received reply by
telepathy from a woman on the earth's
planet neighbor. The story is re-
garded as too absurd for serious treat
ment.
Two words sent out by a powerful
radio station, "opestinipitia secomba."
constituted Robinson's message. "Any
lonely girl. marooned off there on
Mars" remarks the Birmingham
Press, "ought to be glad to get a couple
of nice words like those all the way
from a lawyer in London. But he
explains that most of the messages
between him and his unseen friend are
exchanged by telepathy. And, radio
being what 1t Is, and the science of
telepathy being what it isn't, that
method of communication seems. on
the whole, to be more satisfactory. In
case you'd like to test It, the Martian
lady's name Is Gomaruru. Try that
on your telepathic set"
The Lafayette Journal and Courier
gives this version Of the incident:
Robinson Of London. who has chat
Martians beat Marconi to wireless,
and that the inhabitants Of our neigh
Dor planet have been aviators for a
thousand years. He gets his dope
from Gomaruru, and, as the girl is
40, ,000, 900 miles away. with nothing
but q telepathic comeback, 1t would
not be chivalrous to go around back
Of the earth and talk about her data.
However, we have feeling that
Gomaruru is Martian for Sapphira."

DR.. Robinson's statement that the
words, "opestinipitia secOmba," SO far
as we knew, were not "in any Ian
guage spoken by terrestrial beings"
causes the New York Sun to conclude
that presumably that is all the more
In favor of their being understood by
astral beings. If they understand any
words. why not 'opestinipitia secom-
ba'? Whether they are understood or
not" continues the Sun, "they are
impressive, round mouth-filling words.
II they don't belong to any language,

Nor is It essential that the Martians
should understand them. II they don't
they will need only to wireless back
the Marian equivalent for Come

will be sufficient to establish the main
fact that there Is, somebody on Mars.
II there ts no answer, why, Of course,

note Of our interest, and, of course,
nothing else was required"

BUTTER PRICE DROPS
ON HEAVIER SUPPLIES
Free Selling Policy Is Adopted by
Receivers Not Willing to
Begin Storing.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. May 29.-Supplies OF
butter in excess of the demand to-
gether with sentiment influenced by
the approaching season of flush pro-
duction, caused the butter markets
during the week to develop an easier
tone which resulted in a slight re-
cession In prices.
The butter markets for the past
several weeks have been nervous and
sensitive, with sentiment for the
most part in favor of lower prices.
With the advent of heavier receipts
during the week under review. and a
slowing up in buying activities. 2
free-seliing policy was adopted by
receivers who did not feel that the
storing of butter at the current
prices was advisable.
On the other hand. however, there
were those who were sending con-
siderable volume of their better
grades to the freezer. as they felt
that prices were close TO or at the
low point for the season and that
there was slight possibility Of obtain
ing butter for storage purposes in the
near future at a more advantageous
price. Those operators holding their
view of the situation appear to pre-
dominate at the moment. although th"
market at the close of the week ruled
slightly easier. with some inclination
toward lower prices.
Stocks of fine butter throughout
most Of the week were ample TO meet
moderate demand and when they be-
came slightly excessive dealers moved
the most desirable lots into storage,
rather than take loss or force the
goods on the market at concessions.

further upward readjustment Of

The change was made in view OF
the promotion Of Maxwell c. Byers

Rockefeller interests, he added, owned
less than 20 per cent Of the stock
capitalization. Thus the popular des
ignation Of the Western Maryland as
a Rockefeller road would appear err
roneous. The Rockefeller investment
is understood to be concentrated In
