Crown Point Register. THE SIZE OF BRAZIL. Brazil is a giant. It is bigger than the United States of America (excluding Alaska) with another Pennsylvania added. If Brazil's seaboard of 4,000 miles had its southernmost point pitched at Key West, it3 northernmost point would extend to Hudson Bay, and if its greatest east to west diameter were measured on our map, it would extend from New York to the foothills of the Rocky mountains. Brazil occupies nearly half of the South American continent and touches every country there excepting Chill. It has every, known climate of the torrid and temperate rones, but continuous enow is not seen even in the most southern area. Everything man needs for life or luxury will grow there, and water power enough to run the machinery of the world can be had for the asking. Albert Hale in the Reader,

MOTHER IS BARRED

FROM COURTROOM. Judge Kartnaugh Excludes Material Witnesses la Trial ot the "Hammond Bride." (Special to Lake County Times.) Chicago, Nov. 16. There was a sen sation in the courtroom of Judge Kavanaugh this morning when the trial of Lucille McLeod-Memhard was opened. The young woman's mother was barred from the room, and the bride was left alone to face the jury which holds her life in its hands. In a clash between the attorneys Judge Kavanaugh intervened and finally ordered Mrs. McLeod to leave the de of the pretty defendant. The bride bowed her head as her mother was escorted from the courtroom, but a few minutes later she raised It to glance at the jurymen. It was the first time that Lucille had been separated from her mother from the time that she was found danger ously wounded in the Empire hotel beside the dead body of Nieman, whom she is accused of shooting. When Mrs. McLeod entered the ourtroom she was wrapped in a seal skin coat and wore a close-fitting dark allor-made suit. Her face was covred. Assistant State's Attorney Crowe rose to interpose an objection to her presence. T ask that Mrs. McLeod be exclud ed from the room. She is an important witness for the defense," said the proscutor. "If Mrs. McLeod is to be excluded then I insist that Walter Nieman, the brother of the dead man, be ordered to leave his seat in front of the jury," said Attorney Patrick H. O'Donnell of counsel for the defense. 'All witnesses must leave the court room until they are called to testify," Judge Kavanaugh ruled, after both lawyers had made arguments protesting against the order of exclusion. Before a crowded courtroom the opening statements to the Jury were made, and sensational charges against the character of both the accused girl and the man she is charged with murdering were uttered. Here are the accusations made against Lucille McLeod in the State's opinion: That she was a dancing girl, and had been involved in many escapades before she met Nieman. That she murdered Nieman after having hounded him for months. That she followed the man like a Nemesis for months before the Em pire hotel tragedy. That she had written threatening letters to Nieman advising him to jump in the lake. To offset the charges of the State Attorney O'Donnell made the follow ing accusations against the man who was slain: That Lucille McLeod was a pure girl until she met Nieman. That Nieman was a "masher," and forced his attentions on the girl at the Coliseum skatlng-ring, and finally gained permission to become her es cort. That Lucille McLeod became the fian cee of Nieman in June, 1904, and that the girl's mother consented to their marriage. That Nieman gave the girl a written promise of marriage. That he insisted on postponing the marriage, and finally took the girl to Milwaukee, and posed as her husband after their return. O'CONNELL DISAPPEARS; EAST CHICAGO WONDERS, Ex-Alderman Who is Implicated in the Charges Made by Carsknddon Leaves the City Suddenly and Has Not Iteen Secu Since. It i3 rumored about Indiana Harbor and East Chicago that ex-Alderman O'Connell, who is implicated in the charges of bribery that have been been made by W. T. Carskaddon in con nection with the National Construe tion company's sewage pumpink sta tlon contract, has packed up his trunk and left the city. He was seen to take the train for Chicago several days ago and has not been seen or heard from since. His friends said that he was expected to return yesterday but as far as they know he did not get back to the city. VISIT OF STATE SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT Lawrence McTurnnn Firmed "With System Employed Ry Hammond Teachers. Lawrence McTurnan, assistant state superintendent of schools, visited the schools here today. While here he made a special comment upon the working spirit of both the teachers and pupils and also upon the self-govern ment plan introduced by Superintend ent MeDaniels, and which he says will accomplish great good for the pupils in giving them training for their fu ture citizenship. He thinks the work in reading is receiving special attention, and that the plan of having the pupils of the reading classes asking other pupils of the class on (1) pronounciation of words, (2) meaning of words in the se lections, (3) the thought of the sele tion, and (4 purpose of lesson, is highly commendable, and that he would like to see other schools follow the ex ample shown here. Superintendent McTurnan spoke en thusiastically of the untiring efforts shown upon the part of the teachers to show the pupils the importance of do ing things thoroughly, saying that when a pupil is taught to do his work accurately he is fairly well prepared for his life's work. This afternoon Superintendent Mc Turnan addressed the teachers upon the following subject: "Training For Thoroughness and Ac curacy in Education." Before leaving he expressed himself satisfied with the work being done in the schools, and that as good a system was being introduced here as any school he had yet inspected, and predicted a bright future for any student completing his high school course here.
