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

gium, daughter of the late King Leo
pold, were disposed of at public auc

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

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.

pliiu yesterday, Jfnvor K. ('. Gates

MEDFORD
BY HARPEU LEECH.
WASHINGTON, June 5. Eat Eng
lish sparrows and save the grain crop.
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.

WASHINGTON, June 5. 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

rection was opened today near Bos
ton. Fourteen similar schools will bo

must bo in good physical condition.

sirahlo and the men will be paid "rea
sonable compensation" during train

ment plans to exempt from the army
