The genius, John E. Mellish, of St.

Charles, is one of the four men the world capable of making the sensitive telescopic lenses upon which all astronomical knowledge depends. He faces 20 years' imprisonment for a crime he has confessed, involving hiu 15-year-old daughter. What shall the law do with him? Impressed by eminent 'scientists' pleas for mercy, courts wondered if Mellish might be sentenced to "20 years of nights" in jail, while being escorted daily to his workshop to grind out lenses and work on delicate telescopes. When State's Attorney George p. Carbary would not consent to this, a plan was evolved to build a laboratory within the walls of a state penitentiary so that Mellish might continue his work while satisfying society for his crime.

Tho proposal awaits approval of state officials. Meanwhile, Mellish remains in nominal custody of the Kane county sheriff, passing his nights in the comity jail at Geneva and walking out with a guard each morning to his workshop. He has been a free man by day and a prisoner by night since he was indicted nine months ago. Mellish's interest in astronomy began in his boyhood when he was given a $2 telescope at Christmas. He soon outgrew this and bought another for $19.

Then because of his astonishing a'mateur astronomical observation and the remarkable lenses he had made at home, he was given a job at Yerkes observatory where his fame became world-wide. Mellish will be brought to trial soon and the unusual arrangements for his confinement defined by Circuit Judge John Newhall. The charge against him was brought by his wife, who has borne him 11 children. HOORAY! HOORAY! STAGE MANAGER: received, a tremendous ovation. They are still clapping.

CHICAGO, July' 1, (A 3 )--The womenfolk of six contenders starred. in the democratic nomination drama --a drama in which official feminine participation was more spectacular than ever before in a political convention.

Candidates' kin last night contributed as well as human interest. Mrs. Melvin A- declared a "personal-second choice of darkhorse. Newton Bakers" even as she watched a demonstration for her own husband, Mrs. "Alfalfa Bill" Murray apparently stayed away.

But the Smiths, the Roosevelbs, a Byrd, a Resd and a White were watching all night long in Chicago Approach Climax It was the approach of a climax for women. Feminine delegates, seconders and enthusiasts--taking pOxSsession of the platform; joining and leading in the wild, parading, dancing, howling demonstrations; stilling the throng with, formal speeches--these had given more than their proportionate share to the day's activities? Tine preliminary Jockeying in which they couldn't lead was done, and the women on the floor seemed to realize this was their day. They made the mast of it. In a box directly across from the speakers, Anna Roosevelt Ball followed her father's progress with so much rooting she actually lost her voiae. With tills blonde, vivacious leading contestant's daughter sat her sister-in-law, Mrs.

James Roosevelt. They glowed with confidence. 1 "Of course, he'll get it," Anna caJled out, "what ballot it'll be I don't komv. Bivt I hope it's soon." Later, when an Iowa Roosevelt- pledged delegate rose and seconded Alfred E. Smith, however, she gaaed fine carpefc of human heads with a very sober visage.

"What a speech!" she exclaimed, -putting down and forgetting nter leononade. Smiths Look On The moment was one- triumph in a box on the same side of the stadium--from which the Smiths looked 'on. Emily Smith Warner exulted: "There! And 'there'll more of such; I believe, tonight." Her mother looked on in evident Between, the mother and daughter sat Mrs. Daniel Mooney, wife of their man's long-time friend. They were joined later by Mrs.

Charles Dana Gibson, of New York, reiterating way over." Between Roosevelt and Smith groups the Traylors watched--Mrs. Traylor, a pa.trician dai'k: beauty, perefotly in pink and brown, her sub-deb and 17, and Meivin Traylor, 16. It was, Mi's- Traylor said, "a great honor for Mr. Traylor to be mentioned." "They promised, me they'd omit gestured to the strutting Traylorites, "but at that it's nice to know we have so marry friends." It was asked if she had a second choice, swiftly responded, "personally I'd like very much to see. Baker nominated." At the rim of the noise-making throng sat Mrs.

James A. Reed of Missouri, white-haired, gracious and calm. She received a call from Genevieve Clark Thomson, who saw her own fattier, Champ lose the nomination under the two-thirds rule in 1912. The rangy Oklahoma candidate himself didn't know -whether Mrs- Murray was there. She stayed out of the fray, though she had attended all previous sessions, making picturesque comment.

Elliott told officers he had been guarding his barn, live miles north of Weinert in Ha-skell ccmnty, several nights. He said a car occupied, by two men stopped near the bam this morning. One went into the barn and carried out several sets of harness, throwing them over a fence on the other side of which the car had been parked.
