Without offering 3 reason
for his action, Justice Frederick
II Siddons, IF the District 81.
preme Court, today discharged
the jury "a the mansIaug liter
trial Of James O'DonneH and
ordered 4 re-triaI Of the case.
|O Donnell is charged with re-
sponsibility for the death of
Lieut.. Samuel 4. Callahan.
While no one intimately connected
with the action would discuss the
justices ruling Il was reported that
iury tampering had been changed
IN an affidavit presented by As
slstant District Attorney Neil Burk-
sinshaW.
Both the prosecution and the de-
Tense closed their cases last night
and the jury was sent home to
await the charge by the court this
morning before elaboration.
Re-trial April 16.
Instead Of changing the jury,
Justice Eiddons announced:
Information has been presented
to the court which in the opinion
OF the court requires that the trial
should proceed no further. 1t is
unnecessary to discuss the details.
The only thing necessary is =
declaration Of the court Of q mis-
3 fvsiu al -. n
from further consideration Of the
case.
And In justice to the defendant
and the Governenieit there should
be a speedy re-trial of the case and
il counsl can agree win set the
date now"
The reason for the silence it was
explained is the fact that there was
no actual contact with the juror I'm
question, and no direct accusation
to be made.
1t leaked out, however, that the
affidavit was sworn to by a prohibi.
ton agent who saw one of the
jurors at lunch with a man who
had been identified with a violation
Of the liquor law, creating the i'm.
preston in the agents mind that
the juror was not a fit person to
serve in the trial OF the O'Donnell
case.
1t Is also known that the LIQUOR
law violator has been a constant
attendant at the trial and was in
court this morning when Justice
Siddons discharged the jury.

 Preventive medicine. is tho watchword of tho hour, he reminds us, and tnnumerable schemes are being developed for putting into effect the knowledge of disease and control that is now available and prolonging human life.

This obsession Is distorting our mental life as individuals and as . nation."
 Tho suggestion that our hygiene in the past has been . moral rather than q scientific hygiene is not new. A survey Of the books used in the schools for the last l 5 or 20 years reveals them as a constant series of don'ts in relation to the taking of tea. coffee. alcohol. tobacco-in fact almost anything that might afford . n,odicum of stimulation or pleasure.
 The warnings have been given, moreover. with little reference to the scientific evidence available or to the pharmacology of the sub stances concerned or to their actual effects in producing pathologic changes in the human body.
 The doctor believes that the oi.ly way out of our present trend to- ward madness $ systematic study of the human personality and of its disorders, involving the special biologic difficulties in adjusting life that are formally designated as nervous and mental disorders.

Instead. he stopped short and look ed wildly around as if he contemplat- ed following the example of the red bearded man. But he stood his ground. and when I reached him and seized him Tn my arms. I read the reason for his slowneas in his troubled eyes.
 Honest. Mother I didn't mean to go away alone," he said remoSse- fully, but Patsy was chasing cat and I was afraid he'd kill her. add he wouldn't stop when called him. and he kept going farther and far ther. and I kept going farther and farther and pretty soon I was at the hig red mans house. What are you going to do with me, Mother? I s'pose I ought to have . whacking."
 But his voice held no fear that he would receive the punishment he suggested and in my relaxation from fear I had all I could do to keep from irretrievably spelling dis ciplne with laugh.
 No, I am not going to whack you." I told him. Just now. when I have worried 50 much over you, to switch you would hurt me much more than it would you. Besides you are getting too old for switch ings. Those are only for little pup pies and children too young to know what they are doing. must think up something else, something which will make you remember not to run away again. But we won't talk any more about 1t TOW. We'll go home and have some lunch. and then we'll talk it over."
 Junior looked at me graveiy.
 "I'd rather know now" he said.
 T know you would" INreturned. "but that is part of your punish ment. I will tell you what it Is as soon as I decide"
 I heard a decided sniff behind me, and knew that Katie was expressing as positively as she dared. her dis approval of any punishment for the small boy she adores. Then came Lillian's voice, oddly hesitant, a bit roughened.
 May I speak to Junior by him self minute Madge, please!'

 Shadow the Weasel is hardly half the size of his cousin. Billy Mink. But that makes no difference to Shadow. l don't suppose that Shad- ow really knows the meaning of the word fear" There are enemies he has to look out for. as. for instance. Hooty the Owl and Reddy Fox, but even in the presence of these enc mics he has no fear, in the meaning of the word as other little people understand it. So, when Shadow dis. covered that Billy Mink was right behind him, he was not afraid. He was simply angry.
 What are you snarling at?" de- manded Shadow.
 Billy Minks eyes glowed red. He drew back his lips so as to show his glistening white teeth. What are you following my hare for?" he de- manded.
 Your hare." snapped Shadow. Your hare! How do you get that way?"
 "Yes, my hars!" snapped Bill, Mink. 'I"ve been following that trail for a long way and you've only just picked it up. Now get out of my way and go about your business"
 Tut. tut, Cousin Billy" cried Shadow in a most provoking way. This is free country. You may have found this trail before I did, but got in on it ahead of you. So supposing you forget it and go off about your own business. That hare is mine."
 "Yours!" snarled Billy. "Yours." Why, you little pinch of nothing it's mine."
 Let's see you get lt!" cried Shadow. Come on, you brown-coat- cd thief, let's see you catch it. I'll show you whose hare it is,'

 Shadow the Weasel declared that he wouldn't get off that trail for Billy Mink and Billy declared that he wouldn't get off that trail for Shadow. So there they were. not get ting anywhere at all.

 Our eyes followed Katie's shak- ing hand as she pointed down the woodland road along which We were searching for Junior. The path. us- ually dipping and winding ran com- paratively straight from the spot where we were standing and silhou- cited against the trees several rods away we saw the massive figure of the red-bearded Transvanian who in the woods. He had just come round curve in the path. and Junior was clinging tightly to his hand while the puppy frolicked around them.
 We were all out of the car the next second, and hurrying down the path. Fortunately I had stopped the machine at a place where it was easy to turn 1t around, a matter of difficulty if We had proceeded fur ther down the old road.
 l knew Of course, as soon as saw the red-bearded giants protec- tive attitude toward Junior that our fears for the boys safety at the hands of our queer neighbors had been absurd. But they were no more fantastic than the behavior of the red-bearded man when he caught sight of our advancing fig ures.
 He stopped short, released Jun ior's hand, pointed to us. apparently gave him quick command and then, wheeling. struck into the thick undergrowth at the side of the road and a second later was out Of sight.
 Someone behind me caught her breath quickly. but at the moment I was encapable of enough coherent thought even to try to identify the source of the sound. I wanted only one thing at that moment to clasp my little lad close and assure my self that he had come to no harm. swiftly l ran down the path, calling his name.
 But Junior. with a manner wholly unlike his usual eXuberance when meeting me. did not run toward me.

While the senate was discussing a bill to cut taxes
by 5000. 100000 the president issued another warning
that congress may vote SO much money that taxes will
have 70 be even increased to cover the total. To the
Washington correspondents Mr.. Coolidge submitted his
list OF bills making huge demands on the treasury, quite
beyond the sums provided for in he federal budget. Il
does not require a very great number of appropriations
running from 500, 100000 to 1926, 100000 in order to ar
contemplates it. One trou-le seems to be that congress
and the country have been so long accustomed to think
ing in hundreds of millions that the significance of the
vast OUTLAWS proposed is not easily grasped. When we
have a federal budget now running beyond $4,000, 100000,
il il hard to get people excited about a bill carrying a
mere s50,OO0,O0o. But President Coolidge knows to what
the piling up OF such items inevitably will lead, and
takes this way Of notifying the public that he still stands
firmly for rigid economy.
A singular instance Of the perils which attend the
use Of big figures was given in the senate the other day.
Senator Smoot il a man ordinarily precise and accurate,
but in a debate about the war debts owed our treasury
by foreign countries he asserted that approximately
half Of those debts we're made after the close Of the
war" This statement prompted Senator Glass to send
for the treasury reports, from which he established the
fact that prior to the armistice the credits given by our
government amounted to ss,17l, 976 $50. while the credits
after the armistice added up to only 81 .475.i22.743 The
Virginia senator naturally said that these figures proved
that the senator from Utah had made a Every egregious
blunder." This the senator from Utah had to admit
reluctantly. Mr.. Shoots explanation was, II forgot to
take into consideration the amount England was owing
to the United States. That was $4,000 100000. When it
is so easy for the chairman Of the senate finance com
mittee to forget" such a sum. il is easy to understand
how the constant handling Of billions by congress tends
TO blur the mind to the real meaning OF financial sta
tistics.
