When Chief Justice Pearson of
the State Supreme Court issued
a writ of habeas corpus order
ing a hearing on whether or not
bond should be allowed for the
prisoners, Kirk laughed at the
writ and ignored it. Governor
Holden assumed the responsible
ity for the acton of his regi-
mental commander.
When no hearing was held on
the scheduled date, the Chief
Justice wrote an opinion in which
he admitted the power of the
governor to declare the counties
to be in a state of instruction,
but denied the governors power
to suspend the writ of habeas
corpus.
On the ground that holding
Kirk in contempt or acting to
free the prisoners would plunge
the state into civil war, the Chief
Justice declined to take further
action. The closing words of his
decision summarize his position
as set forth in the historical
document:
Il have discharged my duty;
the power of the judiciary is ex-
hausted; the responsibility must

MAN WHO FOUND"
BABE nth DIES

LOWELL, Mass, Oct. 10. -
up - The Rev. Brother Gilbert,
C. F. X, discoverer of Babe
Ruth, suffered a heart attack and
died today during afternoon re-
treat services at Keith Academy,
Roman Catholic Boys high
school.
Officials at the Academy said
brother Gilbert was kneeling in
his pew during the services and
another brother heard him sigh.
At the conclusion of the services,
he failed to arise.
Brother Gilbert first recognized
Babe Ruth's baseball ability while
serving at St. Mary's Industrial
School in Baltimore. In 1914, he
brought Ruth, then a gangl1ng
youngster, to manager Jack Dunn
of the Baltimore Orioles of the
International League, who de-
veloped Ruth as a pitcher.
Ruth, who later became base
balls greatest home run hitter,
was sold in that same year to
Harry Frazee's Boston Red Sox,
where he developed into one of
the games greatest all-time stars.

we see such arches in Rome and
many parts of Italy.
style that seemed to free itself
from the earth and to soar to
heaven. The glorious churches
built in this style are noted for
their pointed arches, magnifi-
cent windows, lofty spires and
flying buttresses, or outer sup

the Renaissance in Western
Europe, came a new style-the
Renaissance-based on classical
principles.
In our own times we have

for the framework of our great
buildings, we use steel. We may
say we are passing from the
Stone Age to the Age of Metals

What Are the Great Styles of
Buildings?

D0AASAAo
The first things men ever
lived in we're holes or caves.
When at last man began to
build for himself he made huts,
such as many men live in even
nowadays. In time man learned
to use stone, and even to make
artificial pieces of stone which
we call bricks, and, Of course,
with these he could make fine
buildings elaborate in design
and detail.
Everyone agrees as to the
finest building made before the
rise of Rome to power. This was
the Parthenon, in Athens. The
Parthenon was built about 500
years before the birth of Christ,
in the greatest age of Greece.
1t was built entirely of white
marble. In a frieze (border)
around the outside were wonder
full figures of men and animals,
made by Phidias. Some say that
he was the greatest sculptor
that ever lived.
1t is one of the remarkable
things about the great buildings
of Greece that they do not have
arches. Their buildings, indeed,
were in principle the same as
you can make with toy bricks.
It is a curious thing that, some
how or other, though the Greeks
learned so much from the Egyp-
tons, they did not know the
art. Yet in very early Egyp-
tan buildings, we find various
kinds of arches, including even
the pointed arch which we see
in churches today.
After the Greeks came the
Romans. The Romans did not
build so beautifully as the
Greeks. However, they did
make one great advance over
the Greeks-they had the arch
and the Greeks had not.
They were very fond OF build
ing what they called trlumphal

WALLACE EXPECTS

the big sales of the past Thurs
day and Friday.
yne Record

Last year the market here sold
between 10000, 900 and 13, 900
pounds. This record is certain to
be broken this year and Skies
forecast that the market would
set an a1l-time high in sales this
season.
With semi-official figures re-
leased Saturday, Wallace kept the
leadership for price average in
the Eastern Belt which it has
maintained all season by a wide
margin. These statistics, complied
from reports from all markets
in the belt, showed that Wallace
had a high price average during
the past week of S47.07 cents per
hundred for 1925 1874 pounds sold
during the five-day period. The
general average for the Eastern
Belt for the same time was S45.55,
giving Wallace a margin of Sl.54
per hundred over the rest of the
belt.
Tops Average
The figures also showed that
Wallace tops the Eastern Belts
general average for the season.
The Wallace mark for the entire
year up to now is S44.06. The
average for the belt as a whole
is $42.52, giving Wallace the
leadership by S1.56 per hundred.
Warehousemen Bill Hussey,
Oscar Blanchard and Rack
Rackley said tonight they expect
ed Wallace's good prices, and its
margin over all other Eastern
markets, to continue and they ad-
vised to bring their tobaccos on
to Wallace as early as possible.
They said they would be able to
take care of all offerings in the
four big warehouses here.

SP0RTSMEN SAVE
SHIPWRECKED MAN
Bernice Hamilton Rescued
After Spending Three
Hours In Atlantic

A thrilling story of his rescue
at sea after his small fishing
skiff had been swamped and he
had been washed out to sea,
was told here last night by Ber-
nice Hamilton, 812 Princess st.
Hamilton and a relative, AL
bert Hamilton, were fishing in
Mason's inlet early yesterday
morning when a heavy swell
swamped their boat and broke
the anchor rope. Arthur Hamil-
ton elected to swim ashore,
about 300 yards away, but Ber-
nice chose to hang on to the
boat and make an effort to save
the craft, motor and fishing
equipment.
After successfully starting the
motor, Bernice headed for land,
but another heavy swell
swamped the boat and the mo-
tor conked out. He tried des-
pratly to start the stalled mo-
tor, but all efforts failed and
the Graf drifted out to sea.
In the meantime, Albert had
successfully reached the shore
and was trying desperately to
attract attention.
Bernice removed his clothing
and hung on to the partly sub
merged craft "a long time, I'M
til l became tired" he said.
Boat Sighted
Capt. T. E. Murreli, and a
party of fishermen had been
fishing about 20 miles at sea
and on their return trip. T. S.
Murray, a member of the par
ty, sighted the disabled, boat.
Murrell piloted his "Sea Gull
III" in the direction of the
laundering craft and faint calls
for help were heard by Muir
ray.
A few moments later, Murray
sighted the form of Hamilton in
the water. Capt. Murrell raced
his engines and came along side
the half-drowned man. He was
hauled aboard and collapsed
from exhaustion Immediately
upon being hoisted aboard.
Capt. Murrell, Murray. r. A.
Brock and Horace T. King, 9TH
err members of the fishing party
labored over the PROSTATE form
of Hamilton and several mi
nutes later he was revived.
Murray said last night that
he saw the small skiff bobbing
in the water and called Capt.
Murrell's attention to it. At first
it was believed to be a log. Sut
later it was discovered it was
a small boat. A few minutes
later the form of Hamilton was
seen.
$500 Loss
Hamilton said last night he
lost his motor, fishing equip
ment and a sum of money. He
had removed all his clothes
rescued by Murrell's boat.
II suppose l lost about 5000 in
Hamilton said.
The two Hamilton men had
eft Mason's anchorage about 10
yesterday morning and
Bernice was taken from the wa
ter about 2:15 in the after
aoon. 81 had been in the water
about three hours" he said.
When rescued Hamilton said
he was about 500 yards off
shore and was drifting with the
tide. At thought my time wa

craft and taken to Mason's an
AS he prepared to go
for Albert, who was stranded
on the beach, Albert came up
in a boat. The fishermen came
home with Bernice wearing
Murrell's coat.
Murray said last night, 1--WE

glad we we're able to res
cue a man instead" He added
that his party failed to catch
