HEMMING, CASE IS COWED TODAY Arguments of Attorneys Will Be Held Sometime Monday.

SEVERAL WITNESSES The case of Charles D. Flemming against Laura Flemming, his wife, was continued today and the arguments of the attorneys will be heard Monday. Flemming is suing his wife for the possession of property, now on her farm near Economy, alleged to be owned by him and held by her, because of an injunction filed against Fleming in a divorce suit in which he is defendant, keeping him from selling the property. The manner in which he obtained the property was told by witnesses to the court yesterday. Flemming was on the stand nearly all day. Flemming said he bought sheep of a farmer for $5 per head and before he could pay for them his wife paid for them and said she would give them to him as a present. It. E. Swallow, cashier of the Northern Wayne bank of Economy, testified that Flemming presented a check to him for $200 and received payment for it, Dec. 22, 1910. The check was marked "Xmas" and signed by Mrs. Flemming, indicating that she had given it to him as a Christmas present. Flemming told the court how he used this money to purchase certain implements on the farm. Harry H. Macey, a farmer living near the farm owned by Mrs. Flemming, Baid he heard Mrs. Flemming state that she had given to her husband the binder and manure spreader now claimed by him. Wm. Starr, hardware dealer, Ilagerstown, testified that Flejnming bought a binder bf him and that Mrs. Flemming paid for it. saying that she wanted to surprise him and make him a gift. County Treasurer Chamness was also called to the stand. He testified that she had told him the same story to which Starr testified. The reaper which Flemming alleges is his, was given to him by his wife, according to the testimony of Arthur Cain, an employe on the farm. He was told by Mrs. Flemming that she gave the reaper to her husband, he said. Other witnesses testifying were Perry Hilton, Henry Bowman, Oscar Edwards and David Gilliland.

MISS ELIZABETS GURLEY FLYNN ON THE WITNESS STAND. PATERSON, July 19. Followers of Miss Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, the I. W. W. leader, who has been hailed as a "Joan of Arc," by the 25,000 silk strikers here, express little fear that she will be convicted of the charge of inciting to riot for which she is now standing trial. Miss Flynn has been the most active agitator among the strikers and it is to her fiery speeches that the silk manufacturers attribute the fact that the strikers have remained out for more than four months.

The Imaginary Ether By EDGAR LUCIEN LARKIN.

Q"Will you kindly explain what is absolutely known as ether? If the space beyond the atmosphere is ether, how is it possible to analyze its component parts, or to obtain it in its present location?" A. Absolutely nothing. It Is not known if ether exists. Professor A. A. Michelson, of the University of Chicago, has, after long-continued and excessively refined research, failed to detect its existence. Modern science has measured physical dimensions of the one-seventy-millionth part of an inch, but no ether comes w.ithin this limit. " His methods were of interference of waves of light in the interferometer, one of the most delicate and sensitive instruments yet made by human hands; and also by processes based on the motion of the earth through infill. te space. I have looked with awe and admiration on these early mechanisms, but have not seen the last, those that he used. But I did go to Winnipeg, Manitoba, to see and hear. The occasion was the meeting of that magnificent body, the British Association for the Advancement of Science, in October, 1909. J. J. Thompson, president and Ernest Rutherford, vice-president of section A, made elaborate reporis of their researches on the capital discovery since man appeared on earth, namely, of electrons. I listened day after day to an interminable array of absolute facts and the highest of high mathematics. The result c the entire week of intense study was that a row of electrons side by side, one inch long, would contain 12,700,000,000,000, and a cubic inch would contain, if they all were side by side, 20,495 followed by thirty-six naughts. But one cubic inch actually contains only 14 followed by eighteen naughts! Then 6pace is indeed nearly empty. There is no longer any use of the

If.-. Xy im'. --v " ' ..- 4 . ' I' J i: - : . ., :' ' .... . , " :

word ether. Electrons scattered in space at great distances apart compared to their diameters take the place of this long-time purely imaginary ether. If there exists in space a resisting medium that increases the speeds of planets, moons and comets, it is matter thousands of times more dense than free electrons. For electrons pass through solids even solid diamonds. A striking proof that the most rigid matter is not actually continuous, since no two molecules, atoms nor electrons touch. These wonderful electrons forever move with inconceivable specific velocities; their energy is beyond human comprehension. The mass of an atom of hydrogen the lightest substance known is 2,000 times greater than that of one electron. Electrons are pure electricity. Nothing is in existence but electrons. ON WRONG TRAIN Hatless and coatless and in an intoxicated condition, Frank Ryan, a Big Four railroad freight conductor, of Dayton, was arrested last night at the Pennsylvania depot. Ryan claims that he was in Dayton and was on the west side of the river last night in an intoxicated condition and he hopped on a Pennsylvania freight train, mistaking it for a Big Four freight. He was fined $1 and costs in police court this morning. NOT YET NOTIFIED Dr. S. G. Smelser whose term as a member of the State Board of Registration and Examination expired in April stated today that Governor Ralston had not acted upon the matter. He said that he had not been notified of his reappointment or that a successor, to him had been appointed. He will serve until a successor is named.

HEYER MET MULHALL JOHN LONTZ SAYS

The Colonel Testified He Had Letter of Introduction, Though. President John M. Lontx, of the F. & N. Law Mower company, stated today that if Colonel Mulhall. the boss lobbyist, now testifying before the senate investigating committee, ever had a letter of introduction to him. it was nver presented, and that h did not know Mulhall. 'If Colonel Mulhall had a letter of introduction to the F. & N. Lawn Mower company during the Watson sampaign of 1908, he never' presented it," said Mr. Lontz. "I do not know Mulhall, but I am sure that if he had ever entered my office with such a letter, that I should remember it. Broke With Aseociation. At that time we were not members of the National Association of Manufacturers. We had severed our connections in 1907, because I was not in harmony with all the association's policies." The F. & X. company was one of four local concerns mentioned by Colonel Mulhall before the committee yesterday. He presented a large number of introductory letters to Indiana manufacturers which President Van Cleave had given him, commending the lobbyist as "an extremely capable and confidential man, who has charge of the semi-political work of the National Association of Manufacturers." The other local companies to which Colonel Mulhall had letters were the Vajen Bader company, Gaar, Scott & Co., and the Richmond City Mill Works. WATSON IS IMPATIENT. WASHINGTON. July 19 Former Congressman James E. WatBon of In diana stated today that he was anx ious to take the stand and answer the statements made by Colonel M. M. Mulhall. Watson Baid: "Mulhall came to Indiana while I was running for governor, and I told him to do what he could. But he raised no money for me, whatever. The whole thing, so far as I am concerned, can easily be explained to the committee." Mr. Watson said he was loosing money on the lecture platform by reason of being detained here. FIRE CHIEF FAILS HEED POLICE CHIEF Chief Miller has not complied with the orders of Chief of Police I. A. Gormon in regard to the siren horn on his automobile. The police chief ordered Miller to stop using his horn as it was a violation of the city ordinance regulating what kind of a horn should be used. Miller contends that the horn on his machine should be distinctly ! different from any other horn in order that people can be warned. No warrant has been filed against him though he uses the horn whenever going to a fire. FARWIG TRIPLETS BAPTISED SUNDAY The Farwig triplets, who will be four weeks old next Wednesday, will be baptised at ten o'clock Sunday morning in St. John's Lutheran church by Rev. A. J. Feeger. Many persons have contributed to a fund which is to be given to the triplet?, and Mr. Farwig appreciates the kindness and help which these people are extending to him. The fund has grown steadily and a part of the money received has been given over to him. KNIGHT TEMPLARS TO MEET MONDAY The Knight Templars will hold a meeting Monday night for the purpose of determining the number which will form the local delegation to the National Encampment at Denver next month. Almost the entire number is expected to go. A special train will be run to Denver by the C. and O. railroad through Chicago. It will pass through this city August 9.

CALLED TO SERVICE. Exodwe 3:1-14. July 2a ! "B Irani or the pr n Kr rt : for thry $hall ! m God." Uatthnc J.t TTES was forty years old ! IVl when he fled from Pharaoh. I discouraged. He was eigtty i years old when God called i him to be leader of Israel. The first forty years were an ordinary schtHl- j in;;; the last forty, a special schooling In meekness. He was now ready for., service at exactly the time when Gh1 j wished to use him. So thoroughly dis- ' couraj,'ed bad he become that he who j was so ready to lead the hasts of Is rael without a special Divine commit- ! sion was now so distrustful of himself , that eveu wheu called of Gh1 he upoloized. pleading his unfitness, etc i He did not realize that he had only then iteconie fit. Moses was tending Jethro's flocks, and perhaps considering how wise it was that forty years before he had been unsuccessful In arousing his brethren to flee from Egypt He could now see. in the light of maturer years, what a herculean task he 3" fJW Burning Bush. would have had as their leader, no could better understand the difficulties that would have attended his people In the wilderness journey and also In attempting to take possession of the land of Canaan. Quite possibly be phlkphized that people unfitted to be delivered were wise In remaining la bondage. The Burning Bush Consumed Not. Thus meditating, while his flocks pastured on the mountainside, Moses caught sight of something most unusual. A bush was afire, yet it was not consumed. Moses approached the bush to investigate. From it came a voice, declaring the phenomenon to be a manifestation of God's presence and power. Moses obeyed the command to take off his sandals, for it was holy ground, by reason of the presence of the Angel of the Lord. Moses then covered his face in reverence, while he listened to the Divine message. The statement, "I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob," brought to this instructed man of God a clear understanding of what was signified by his experience. By it God reminded him of the Covenant which He bad made with Abraham, and renewed with Isaac, and confirmed to Jacob for an everlasting covenant. Thus Moses learned that God's time had come for the deliverance of Israel and for their attainment of the Land of Promise Canaan. If Moses had ever wondered whether God really cared for the Israelites and why He had permitted them to be oppressed by the Egyptians, he now had God's own assurance that lie did care, and that He had a purpose In withholding 60 long. The Lord's explanation closed with an invitation to Moses to be His servant and messenger to Pharaoh, calling upon him to liberate the captive Israelites. -Certainly Will Be With Thee." Then Moses, who forty years before was full of confidence and courage, and ready to lead the Israelites, but who now was lacking in self-confidence, repiled to the Lord. "Who am I. that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel oot of Egypt?" This meant, I am a failure; with all the educational advantages that I had. I am fit for nothing better than to be a sheep-tender. God's reply was: "Surely I will be with thee." I shall not expect you to do it yourself. I realize that it is a mighty work. By way of emphasis, the Lord declared that not only should Moses lead the people forth, but they should worship God in that very mountain. Moses, remembering his previous failure, was cautious. He inquired what response he should make if the Israelites should inquire which God had sent him. The Divine response was that God's name is, "I AM THAT I AM." the self-existent One. But Moses was so distrustful of himself that he urged "1 am that I am.' that the Egyptians would not let the people go, and that the Israelites themselves would not believe that God bad really appeared to Moses. Answering these objections, the Lord gave Moses certain signs, convincing him that he was talking to the Omnipotent, and assured him that these signs would convince the Israelites, and also the Egyptians. So meek was Moses that although he folly believed the Lord and trusted His power, he could not feel competent to do this great work. Humility, lack of self-confidence, meekness, had become so pronounced in him that be prayed that, even if he should be used, some one else might be the spokesman. God heard his request and granted that he should have his brother Aaron for a companion and mouthpiece before Pharaoh. Humility is a quality most essential to all Christians who would be used of tie Lord. Let us say with the poet. Til go where You want me to go, dear Lord. Over mountain, or plJn. or sea; I'D say what You warn me to say. deer Lord. ril be what You want me to be." DONT KILL SNAKES; THEY ARE BENEFIT If Wayne county farmers would not kill every snake, toad and turtle in "the vicinity of their farms a decrease in destructive vermin and insects would be noticed, according to Agricultural Agent A. D. Cobb. People have a tendency to kill snakes which often are of great benefit to them. "Nearly every one despises snakes though they are of more value in gardens than birds and kill more harmful insects," said the official. - -

An agitation will be started by Councilman Harry Wessel at council meeting Monday night to secure for the fire department an automobile ladder truck. Chief Kd Miller of the fire department will ask that an appropriation of $9,000 be placed in the 1914 budget with which to purchase the truck. The ladder wagon of the No. 2 company in the city building is in a dilapidated condition and unsafe. The wagon has been used over 30 years and shows the effect of its hard service. The frame is twisted, and last spring the rear axle was sprung, making the wagon shift over to the right. The damages to the wagon are of such a nature that It would be poor economy to have them repaired. The necessity of the ladder truck will be impressed on the councilmen's minds by Mr. Wessel, he said. Although no other councilmen have expressed their views on the expenditure of such an amount of money for a ladder truck, the condition of the wagon has been the topic of discussion in council several times. "I would not be a fireman." said Mr. Wessel today, "unless the city put up a bond of $5,000 to insure my safety. If the ladder wagon was guided by an inexperienced hand. It would surely turn over when it goes around corners. Should such a thing happen, I for one would feel partly responsible for any accidents. By neglecting to insure the safety of the laddermen, the city is failing in a moral responsibility."

A Dover correspondent reports a curious incident which was witnessed at a farm at Elms Vale, on the confines of the borough. A flock of seagulls flying inland had taken possession of a newly sown field and were pecking away, when a still more numerous flock of rooks swooped down and attacked the gulls. The rooks, being about two to each gull, flapped ami rushed the gulls until they withdrew to a field some distance off. The victorious rooks then proceeded to enjoy themselves in the field, having first set what were apparently sentries along the side of the field. It was amusing to watch these sentries hustling away any gull which strayed too near. It has been noted by naturalists that this setting of sentries is in accordance with the habits of rooks.
