PUZZLE TRIAL
OF 0zARKS TO
START MONDAY
Opinion VeerS Toward Be-
lief That Mystery Man
Is ImpoStor.
BY DUKE MERRITT

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Ark, Dec. 13
The fantastic Connie Franklin
puzzle, on which the lives of five
men may depend, remained I'M
solved today.
Opinion was yeering. however,
toward the belief that the Connie
Franklin that Tiller RUNNER claims
was snatched from her side on a
lonely mountain trail and burned to
death really is dead, and the man OF
mystery who says he is Connie
Franklin is an impostor.
Many we're unconvinced and the
tension among the hill folk was
drawn even tauter as the opening
Of the trial Of the five mountaineers
charged with the murder of the
mountain lover drew nearer.
Monday, in the stone courthouse
here, the strange drama of the
OZarks will approach its climax. In
a courtroom guarded against feud
violence by twenty armed deputy
sheriffs, the man who claims he is
Franklin will appear to save the
five from the moose.
Sheriff Sam Johnson, his giant
bulk towering even above the lank
mountaineers, began serving forty
eight SummonSes for veniremen
from which to pick jury.
That jury will sit in one of the
strangest trials ever conducted, with
enc of the most picturesque groups
ever assembled as spectators.

WHITE RATS LOSE
TEST TO STUDENTS

the Journal of Comparative
Psychology by r. w. Husband,
psychologist at the University of
Illinois, show that the students were
quicker that the rats at learning
the maze route.
The students. who were familiar
with the idea that maze paths turn
right and left confusingly, tended
to make mistakes by taking
alternate turns to right and then to
left too regularly. The rats erred
most frequently by taking left turns
persistently because one left turn
proved correct, or else taking too
many right turns.
Rats, as well as students, appeared
to exercise some ideation in solving
the maze, though in the animal the
process is rudimentary, the
psychologist suggests. Rats that had

and were learning its turns would
run into the entrance of a blind
alley, and then stop suddenly and
change direction into the correct
path.
Differences in alertness were
noted in rats as well as humans.
Certain rats always pushed ahead
when released from their cages, and
among these were the animals that
learned the maze first. At the other
extreme were the laggard rats which
we're slower in running through the
maze and slower to solve the route.

The expected battle on uniform closing hours. which was anticipated at the meeting of the mercantile bureau of the Chamber of Commerce fizzled out. this morning. when not enough men appeared to hold a meeting.

Those who were present at the meeting were Steve Robb. chair man. representing the John Boyle Co.,. of which he is president: Ralph H. Benson, secretary of the Cham- ber of Commerce.: Ray c.

 mere Was no uiSCusSioi, MT. Young, chairman of the uniform hours committee made no report. and Mir. Robb opened the business session only long enough to declare the meeting adjourned until 10 o'clock next Tuesday morning.
 The principal issue upon which a battle is expected is the proposal Of opponents to Saturday night closing. to return to the old system of re- maining open Saturday nights. Senti- ment as gathered from general dis cussion among merchants on the street is that it resolves itself as has been the case heretofore for years into the old battle of the Northend- CTS versus the !Southenders. with the railroad track as the division line. Those who favor the Saturday night closing. and who point out that the experiment last summer was sue cess from their point of view. do not admit that the plan is defeated this year. Others claim this is a "Satur- day night town and having always shopped on Saturday night, the peo- pie always will.
