A NEW TRIAL FOR MARINES APPEAL FOR LOCAL AID TRAI ,Y, JUNE-11 In circuit court yesterday Juilgo f.-nlklns. nftnr pnnfpi-rtntr with nistrii't i Attorney Roberts and Attorney GuS Newbury, set the new trial of Mrs. M. M. Garwood for next Monday morn ing, to begin ut 9 a. m. This is one of the most Bensationnl cases that ever came up in the county. Last week Mrs. Garwood was tried on the charge of conspiring to burn the. Strickfaddcn house in Ashland last March, and the jury failed to reach an agreement, standing six for conviction and six for acquittal. Just before the Garwood case came to trial Mrs. Nan Strickfadden and Mrs. Dreyfoos, her sister, who wcro indicted on the same charge, pleaded guilty before Judge Calkins and later turned state's evidence against Mrs. Garwood. As before District Attorney Roberts will conduct the prosecution and Gus Newbury will defend Mrs. Garwood. Each side claims to have discovered new evidence. The case also promises to bo as before very hard fought from beginning to end, and to attract even more public interest, if possible, than the previous trial. A new Jury, of course, will hear the case and It is thought there will be no trouble in getting a jury early Monday forenoon. The setting of the second trial so soon indicates that Judge Calkins will not impose sen tence on Mrs. Strickfadden and Mrs. Dreyfoos until at least the second trial is ended. Mrs. Garwood is still in jail, having been unable to furnish bail of J5000. MUR.L1N. June 5. Personal be longings of Princess Louise of Bel gium, daughter of the late King Leo pold, were disposed of at public auc tion in Munich today in the presence of a large crowd of women bidders. Pawned articles placed on sale includ ed ninety hats, twenty-seven evening gowns, twenty-eight theatre wraps, fifty-eight parasols, ninety-five veils of fantastics texture and sevonty-two bottle of foreign perfume, in addition to other articles required to complete the wardrobe of a princess. During the sale the police were fre quently called on to restore order among the clamorous bidders. Princess Louise of Belgium Is the eldest daughter of the late King Leo pold. She Is also the divorced wife of Prince Philip of Saxe-Coburg and Golha. The princess for many years j has been occasionally before the puh- i, on account of her love affairs, her 'i Quarrels with her family and her sen sational extravagances. Shortly after the war broke out a dispatch from Vienna said she har been requested to 1 leave that city. In response to the l'nllowimx lele frrum from Major (ii-orjie Unmet t, cotiumitulunt of the United States ma rine corps, received from Pliihick'l pliiu yesterday, Jfnvor K. ('. Gates today issued. an appeal to the people of M'edi'ord and Ilio valley to help get enlistments for the corps next week: "Four thousand enlistments in United States murines are called for (luriiij; marine corps week, June 10 to 10. We need your support in this ex traordinary recruiting effort and I ask your generous personal and of ficial co-operation with the marine corps local recruiting officer and help of your city departments and patriot ic citizens' committees in bi'iniiinj; up. to war strength the marine corps, I the soldier branch of the nation's' first line of defense anil the minute men of today." Mayor dates' appeal is as follows:' to the Citizens ot Mediord: I have just received the above tele gram from the major general com mandant U. S. marine corps. In con sideration of this telegram I respect fully urge the support of all the peo ple of Medford in this very important' work of bringing the marine corps up to its full war strength. The marine corps is the soldiers' branch of the nation's first line of defense, and it is therefore necessary to have this branch of the army up to the full strength. Tlio above telegram is n trumpet call to the citizens ; everybody should rally to the support of the marine corps; everybody should help get en listments during marine corps week, June 10 to 10, for tile soldiers of the sea.

Fifty sparrows eat tlio equivalent of a quart of wheat per day. There have been many guesses as to the amount of grain consumed by English sparrows, but whether It Is millions or billions of bushels, the loss is seri ous and the sparrow Is good to eat. The Germans are paying 15 cents ! apiece for them. Ned Dearborn, expert biologist, on the trail of the sparrow nulsiince tor the U. S. department of agriculture, says: "In most localities in the United States English sparrows are a pest. Thero Is therefore no reason why the birds should not be utilized for food 1 In this country, as they have been In the old world for centuries. "Their flesh Is palatable, and tlio their bodies are small, their numbers fully compensate for their lack of size. "Birds can be trapped and kept alive in large outdoor cages, sheltered from storms and cold winds, until wanted for the table. It is unprofit able to keep them long, however. "Clean water, bread, oats, wheat, bran or cornmeal much will keep them in good condition. "To kill mercifully a trapped spar row, place the thumb nail at the base , of Us skull and dlslocato its neck by hard, quick pressure. "To dress it, cut off the legs, the wings at the outer joint, and the neck close to the body, strip off the skin, beginning at the neck, make a cut thru the body wall extending along the backbone tjll the ribs are severed, then around between the legs to the tail, and remove the viscera. "If sparrows are to be broiled, save only breasts, as this method of cook ing so shrivels and parches the lesser parts as to render them worthless. Sparrows may -be cooked by any of the methods employed for reed birds or quail." The department of agriculture rec ommends the trap as the best method ot extermination. Hb farmers' bulle tin No. 94 3 will he sent free to any one writing for It. The verdict of biological experts against the English sparrow Is unani mous. He Is as big a thief and para- sito as the rat, nnd when driven to cat bugs at all be consumes only those harmless to crops.

A cam paign to recruit and train 10,000 men to officer in the new Amorlcan mer chant marine was announced today by tho federal shipping bonrd and the department ot commerce. Henry Howard of Boston has been appointed director, with offices In the Boston customs house. The first nautical training school under government di rection was opened today near Bos ton. Fourteen similar schools will bo established along the Atlantic coast and later the training system may be extended to the Pacific coast and great lakes. Applicants may be of any ago, but must bo in good physical condition. Previous nautical experience Is do sirahlo and the men will be paid "rea sonable compensation" during train ing which probably will last two months. An announcement made today points out that merchant skippers re ceive $350 a month and mates $250, with additional war bonuses. It is understood tho war depart ment plans to exempt from the army draft practical navigators and sailors who probably would bo more valuable In the shipping service than in the army or navy.
