MOVE TO STRIKE OUT STANFORD TESTIMONY UNDER CONSIDERATION
Hearing v of the divorce complaint of Maude D. Stanford vs. Roscoe L. Stanford, which was interrupted on the evening of "Wednesday, July 13. by the death of Leland H. Stanford, father of the plaintiff, who succumbed to heart disease while testifying In behalf of his eon, was resumed before
Judge Bond in Wayne circuit court
Monday.
Immediately upon the re-opening of
the case. Denver Harlan, attorney ior
Mrs. Stanford, moved that the testi
mony given by Leland H. Stanford be stricken from the record. He based
his motion on the fact that it was in
complete for the defense and that the
plaintiff had had no c nance to cross examine. -
A further motion to require the de
fense to produce the will of the late Mr. Stanord In court was made by
Mr. Harlan. Objects to Motions
Objections to these motions were
made by Attorney George Pigman of
Liberty, for the defense. He based his objections to the first motion on
the grounds of the unavoidable cir
eumstances of Mr. Stanford's death. And the second he contended could
not be ruled on as it was not a con
tention in the primary complaint made
by Mrs. Stanford. He stated that if
the matter was brought up by the defense, the plaintiff would have grounds for requiring the producing of the will in rebuttal. Judge Bond took fhe motions under consideration and stated that he would examine a number of authorities before ruling on the motions. Marguerite Downing, 25 years old, a niece of Roscoe Stanford, the defendant, and granddaughter of the late Leland H. Stanford, was the first witness put on the stand by the de-iense.
She was questioned regarding circumstances at the Stanford home when she visited them from 1911 until 1915. She stated that Mrs. Stanlord often remarked regarding the mental condition of her husband and stated she feared bodily harm to herself and children. Mrs. Downing also testified that she thought Mrs. Stanford wore extravagant clothes and was possessed of expensive tastes. On cross-examination Attorney Harlan asked Mrs. Downing how much she profited in the will of the late Leland Stanford. Attorney Pigman strongly objected to this question and was sustained by Judge Bond. Ross Vitt Testifies. Ross Witt, a farmer, living near Boston, was put on the stand following Mrs. Downing. He testified that
Mr. Stanford was a hard working,

PLAYGROUND SYSTEM WELL ESTABLISHED, SAYS SLOCUM REPORT
COUNTY BOARD ASKED TO MOVE ROADWAY
"I feel that Richmond has made a good start on a playground system. The foundation has been laid."
Thus is summed up the report for the past six weeks' activities on local
playgrounds, made by Executive Secretary P. H. Slocum, to Superintendent J. H. Bentley, of the Richmond public schools, Monday. "Richmond is fortunate in having among its people leaders of character
and ability to conduct the activities
on the playgrounds. The corps or supervisors is made up of men and women who haye lived their lives in Richmond or vicinity. Instructors Well Qualified "Through previous training and the experience gained on the playgrounds this summer they are an asset of increasing value to the city. Playgrounds are a part of American community life, and playgrounds depend on leadership, not equipment, for their success. "Richmond community service is proud to have been of assistance in organizing this group of playground leaders from among our own people."
A petition to move the roadway of
Northwest Eighth street, which abuts the west side of the new David W.
Dennis junior high school grounds, 50 feet to the west, was presented to the board of county commissioners Satur
day morning.
ine petition was filed br Levi C.
Peacock and the School City of Richmond. It states that an addition of 50 feet to the west is necessary to provide adequate grounds for the building and playgrounds. If the roadway is moved it will necessitate a jog in
guilty for Felsch and Weaver unless more evidence was found. Attorneys for both the state and defense today Issued statements predicting a speedy verdict In their favor. "The state has fully established the guilt of all the - defendants," said George Gorman, chief counsel for the state. "Three have confessed. The confessions have . not been denied. Clearly the state has proven the charges in the indictments." "The state has failed to establish there has been a criminal conspiracy,"
Benedict Stfort, attorney for the defense said In his statement "It is true there has been some evidence of transactions with gamblers, but to find the defendants guilty the state had to establish there was a conspiracy, as the indictments charged. And this they have signally failed to do."

the defense in the baseball trial today ; opened 10 hours of argument In an ef-;
fort to convince the jury mat mere i was no conspiracy between former j White Sox players and alleged gamb-, lers to throw the 1919 world series to Cincinnati. I Henry Berger, representing Carl j Zork, the St Louis man, opened for
the defense, which probably will complete its case late today .or tomorrow morning after which the state will close in about two hours, the case going to the jury late Tuesday or early Wednesday. Judge Hugo Friend has announced that he will not sustain a verdict of guilty against Zork and Mr. Berger's testimony dealt for the most part with technicalities of the conspiracy
laws. Michael Ahern assisted Mr. i
Berger, who will be followed by Thomas Nash, representing Felsch, Weaver and Risberg. James C. O'Brien, representing Gandil and Ben Shorti representing Cicotte, Williams and Jackson will "be among other defense attorneys to be heard.

About the Pipeless Furnace: What It Is Its History Success or Failure? Divided Opinions How It Saves Coal Where Can It Be Used? (By Joe J. Marx, connected for several years with The. Monitor Stove Company, Cincinnati, now located permanently in Richmond). They laughed at the horseless carriage. At first it was a novelty today a universal necessity. Who now doubts the success of the automobile? Consider the pipeless furnace. Twelve years ago, an age-old theory that "warm air rises and cold air falls" was BUILT INTO the product of a company making heating appliances for 102 years. - The new scientifically constructed furnace was patented, experiments were made, and it was pronounced a success. This revolutionary heating plant was called CaloriC. Now it is the sole product of the largest warm-air furnace company in the world. With a single stroke, the cumbersome cold-air ducts and warm-air pipes, with registers in every room, were eliminated. Thousands of tons of coal formerly lost in the cellars through heat-wasting pipe furnaces are now saved. This CaloriC heats the house directly. This CaloriC, because of its scientific design and installation, never heats the cellar. It is a SUCCESS from every standpoint: even heat circulation, economy in fuel, low first cost, healthful moist heat. It has made good in 135,000 homes in the United States and Canada. It heats large homes as well as small ones. . WARNING! IMITATIONS ARE NOT CALORICS! Richmond has had enough of so-called pipeless furnaces. Any tinner can make a pipeless furnace that 'looks like the CaloriC." Manufacturers are supplying cheap imitations to meet the demand. When you buy a CaloriC you get the highest quality at a reasonable price. When you , buy a CaloriC you get scientific installation. When you buy a CaloriC you get a guarantee of "complete satisfaction or a return of the purchase price." "Seventy degrees in the coldest weather." Don't condemn the CaloriC because of your experience with a cheap imitation. , The CaloriC is a nation-wide success. We'll prove this to you by the statements of 150 satisfied CaloriC users in Wayne county. Come to "Heating Headquarters" at 7 South 7th street, and let us demonstrate the merits of the CaloriC.
