THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM.

LARGE PERCENT OF POPULATION IS IN SCHOOL

According to figures compiled by ; Superintendent J. T. Giles of the city j schools, 14.6 per cent, of the popui lation In Richmond represents the 1 total average daily attendance In the schools. The percentage Is based upon a total population of 24,373 estimated by adding one-half of the gain from ; 1900 to 1910 or 2,049 to the 1910 ' census which was 22,324. Fort Wayne, with a population con- , eiderably greater than Richmond, has t a ratio of 9.2 per cent, of Its population as the total, daily average attendance in schools. This comparatively low percentage is due to the great number of the Fort Wayne children attending parochial schools. The table showing the ratio In other cities according to their population, is as follows: Pet.

So far this month, all records have been broken and 1,070 licenses have been Issued to hunters and fishermen in this county. This is the largest number in any one month for the past five years. There was only one month during the year that no license was issued, that being February. In October 260 licenses were issued but this month will show four times that number. Last year, from January 1 to December 31, 1,726 licenses were issued while up to November 23, 1915, 1,791 licenses have been issued and prospects of raising this number to over 2,000 for the entire year.

A Smooth, Hairless I Skin for Every Woman j (The Modern Beauty.) With the aid of a plain delatone paste it is an easy matter to rid the skin of unsightly hairy growths. The paste is made by mixing some water with powdered delatone. This is applied to the hairs not wanted and after 2 or 3 minutes rubbed off and the skin washed when ever trace of hair will have vanished. When you go to your druggist for delatone, be sure you get the genuine article. Adv.

SCENE OF CONFLICT HAY SOON CHANGE TO GREECIAN SOIL

LONDON, Not. 24. The battlefield In the Balkans may soon be transferred from Serbian to Greek soiL even if Greece remains neutral. German, Austro-Hungarian and Bulgarian armies in northern and central Serbia continue their victories advance southward. - Already the Serbian retreat into Montenegro and northern Albania has been cut off by the German allies west of Pristina. Although successes for the 8erbs and the French have been reported from southern Serbia, the Anglo-French-Serb allies have been unable to inflict a decisive defeat upon the Bulgarians. In consequence of this state of affairs and as a result of the apparent check to the French invasion of Bulgaria south of Strumnitza, the onrush of the . Austro-German and Bulgarian troops southward may soon push the Serbians and their allies over the Greek boundary. It is learned definitely from a German source that the Germans, Austiians and Bulgarians are determined to pursue the Anglo-French and Serbian forces to Salonika until the Greek government Interns and disarms the retreating armies. "TANK SCRAP" SUIT DISMISSED BY JUDGE LAFAYETTE, Ind., Nov. 24.

The father in his complaint sued Purdue university as a corporation and the court decided that the university was not a corporation. The court also re fused to summons W. E. Stone, president of Purdue, to appear in court. The attorneys for the plaintiff say they will bring another suit against the trustees of the university. BOYD ESCAPES Continued From Page One. taken impression that it was a fishing worm, the enraged bug, or insect, biting him in the cheek. One of the most sensational features of the trial was the action of the codefendant, Frank Infamous Braffett, turning state's evidence again Boyd. Braffett admitted that when Boyd Informed him, for the purpose of filling out his membership application, that he was born in 1S66, be knew that Boyd was misrepresenting his real age. Braffett Admits Perjury. "When a small boy, about forty years ago, I used to run errands for Boyd and he was then a man about 26 years old," Braffett' declared. Upon cross-examination Braffett admitted that he had perjured himBelf in stating his own age, 49 years. Demas S. Coe when called to the stand by the counsel for the prosecution. Will Reller, Wilfred Jessup and Philip Robbins testified that he had never known Boyd to be a scientific farmer, as set forth in his application for membership. He said the Irst time he met Boyd was in Cincinnati. Boyd, he said, had represented to him at that time that he was the personal representative of John Wanamaker, the merchant prince, but later he ascertained that Boyd had been selling books published by the Wanamaker company. Coe also testified that in the I. O. O. F. cash book for 1866, the year Boyd represented to be the date of bis birth, there appeared an entry of payment of $5.00 to Robert E. Boyd for a wagonload of lime. Upon cross examination Coe admitted that be possibly might have been too greatly excited to have fully comprehended any statements Boyd might have made to him in Cincinnati, having been chased out ot the zoo, a few hours previous to the meeting, by a playful lion cub. Escapades Suppressed. W. R. Poundstone testified that as a newspaper man he had never known Boyd to have any occupation. He also stated that he had been - at times called upon to suppress certain escapades on the part of the defendant. Wilbur Hibberd testified that he was the foremost handwriting expert in America. He identified Boyd's signature on the I. O. O. F. cash book for the year 1866. Clem Carr, Joe Lamson and R. G. Leeds swore that Boyd was merely a plain farmer, not a scientific one. It was brought out in their testimony that Boyd once tied a cow's tail to bis coat, while milking it, with painful results to the defendant; that he tried to raise potatoes without watering the soil, planting, instead, an onion in each potato hill, expecting that these odiferous vegetables would bring tears to the eyes of the potatoes, thus providing the irrigation. Dr. S. C. Markley testified that Boyd was a paranoia victim, being as much obsessed with the idea that he is a scientific farmer as Joe Lamson, another victim of the same malady, with the idea that he is a bridge player. Mortgages Property. Boyd appeared in court without counsel and at his request Attorneys Foulke and Freeman were appointed by the court, at the lodge's expense, to defend him. Boyd represented that he had pawned and mortgaged all his property to defend himself of the charges preferred against him. His attorneys made emotional pleas to have the charges against him dismissed on the ground that he was non compus mentus. Boyd was a pitiful witness in his own defense, not being able to give bis own name and admitting his guilt, to the horror of his two attorneys. Reller, Jessup and Robbins prosecuted the case In the most brilliant manner. The Jury was composed of the following: B. G. Price, Charles McGuire, John Bayer, E. G. Hibberd, Joseph Peltz, Thomas Nicholson. Lee B. Nnsbaum, A. O. Gayle, William Seeker, Frank Land, W. D. Williams, and Frank Chambers.

A special meeting has been called tonight when the Sons of Veterans will nominate officers. The election has been set for December 13. RUPE DELIVERS Continued From Page One. quires that the jury bring to bear upon the consideration of a given case the little intelligence it has, and it imposes the duty upon the court to Instruct the Jury in matters of law, procedure and the application of legal principles, matters which the court is often found as incapable of understanding and appreciating as the jury. But the law in its application to the administration of so-called Justice, upon the principle of general average, regards the court as PROBABLY better able to understand the law than the jury, and therefore requires the jury to take the court jargon of confused and confusing statements as their guide in the consideration of the case, and this whether the same may be in accord with sense and reason or not. These instructions will, therefore, be given you gentlemen by the court because the law requires it, but the court is persuaded that they will In no way embarrass you. for the reason that from the earliest time in the administration of justice through the courts like instructions have been given to juries without their having any influence whatever in the Jury' deliberation of the determination of the cause. Let Each One Guess. You gentlemen are charged with the duty of determining what facts are proven by the evidence. You should do this if you can. If you find you can not do it with reasonable certainty then you will, as the court knows, resort to the common practice of guessing it off. If this custom is resorted to. be careful to let every mem ber of the jury have his guess, and whoever seems to have the best guess, bring the other members of the jury to it, adopting whatever means found necessary to that end. You should not adopt the method often used in the jury room of determining the result by the flip of a coin. While this method is no doubt better in most respects than trying to follow the law, which no Juror understands, it Is not permitted because the interested parties are not allowed to be present. There is no presumption that men will tell the truth. While it is a recognized fact that most men SOMETIMES tell the truth, it is equally true that most men at times and under provocation lie. If you have the least suspicion that a witness has lied before you, whether from his actions on the stand, your knowledge of him personally, or any cause you may know or imagine, you will exclude his testimony entirely. Use Preconceived Ideas. You have the right, and no doubt will give your main consideration and approval to the testimony which seems best to accord with your own preconceived ideas of what the verdict should be, and that which will best satisfy the demands of public sentiment, for at la6t it is the public sentiment which is looked to by the jury. The defendants are presumed to be guilty as charged until the con trary is shown by tbem beyond a rea sonable doubt. In all courts where a supposed sol vent defendant is charged, for the better security of the court and its officers as to collection of penalties and costs, the presumption of guilt of the party charged prevails; then the further consideration is, that by the experience of mankind a charge would not be made unless the party charged was probably guilty. If the evidence should show that the defendants are members of respectable families, the court charges you that this will make no difference. We know, as men and citizens, that all our best families, so-called, have one or more black or dark brown sheep. Something has beevsaid before you of the unsoundness of mind of the defendants, and so-called expert testimony has been introduced before you on that subject. The court cautions you to examine this question with all the care you can command. We know that according to modern scientific teaching, the great majority of men are either asses, fools or mental defects. Testimony Is Untrustworthy. You have heard so-called expert testimony. This is the most untrustworthy of any ever heard in our courts. Because a man may say be is a doctor, or may think himself an expert and be willing to say so, indicates nothing. You should give no consideration Some men get angry about that 7th point. Wise men sit down quietly to think it over. tetttftG Thepoirrtum Cinnamon -atuc

If you find the defendants guilty, as It would seem from the evidence you should do. you will return your verdict accordingly and fix such punishment as you think will fit the case. As to the defendant. Boyd, the charge is that he fraudulently repre sented himself as a fanner by occupation, and furthermore, a scientific farmer, whereas it is charged he is wholly without any occupation, that he was not, and is not now, a scientific farmer. Fix Own Punishment. The court, therefore, suggests to the jury that, in addition to fixing any punishment you may think the evi dence justifies on behalf of the lodge. that you have the right to bind him over to the circuit court, with a recommendation that he be committed to the state penal farm where he may be taught at least the rudiments of farming. Manifestly, gentlemen, be has reached the age when he should have SOME occupation, for the benefit of society, and the recommendation contemplates that he should receive such instruction in the occupation he claims to have, to enable him to at least plow corn; and this recommenda tion by the court is upon the assump FACE COVERED Willi SHALL HIRES Itched Badly.
