chairman of the committee on the prevention of blindness of the American Medical association, talked on The Prevention of Blindness," a subject in which the welfare exhibit is taking more than a passing interest.

Leslie, who were on trial with him, were acquitted.

During the trial be was his own lawyer. Solitary Confinement Once a Year.

According to the provisions of the Wisconsin law. the judge included in the sentence the additional penalty that on Oct. 8 of each year. the anniversary of the crime for which Dietz was convicted. the prisoner shall undergo solitary confinement for twenty-four hours, to meditate upon the crime for which he was sentenced.

It is said this provision of the law is rarely enforced except where a prisoner Is unruly. There are other complaints pending against the other members of the Dietz family, but It is thought they will nct be prosecuted by the state. There was a moment of silence following the reading of the verdict, and then the judge asked Mrs. Dietz and Leslie to stand up. He Informed them they were discharged.

Dietz made the usual motion for a new trial. V. W. James of Eau Claire, special attorney for the state, suggested to the convicted man that he get an attorney, draw up the motion in proper legal form. and ask the court for a ten days' stay in which to me the exception.

Dietz ignored the suggestion and plunged headlong into a denunciation of the lumber trust." The court also advised him to get an attorney, overruled the motion for a new trial, and gave the defendant ten days in which to file exceptions. WOMAN SENT TO PRISON.

I NEW TRIER VOTES BONNSSUE TO ERECT A SCHOOL ADDITION Case of Nicoll Petrona. The floral decorations of the Coliseum were completed during the day. 'The big white arches, which formerly shone plain and bare, are now draped with leaves and roses. On account of the haste in getting the exhibit together, this was left until the last. The change it has made in the appearance of the hall was often remarked upon.

Here is a sample remark made by a botanist aged about 14 years: Wonder what kind of flowers them ars" On being examined, the young man testified that his name was Nicoll Petrone, and that he had been raised in America. He said he thought the flowers were pretty, and expressed his delight on learning that they belonged to the family of crimson ramblers. He said they didn't have any in his neighborhood. He is, not suffering from the form of blindness expounded by the blind exhibit. At the ornithological exhibit Nicoll net better luck.

It appears that there are no certified bird museums in Chicago dedicated to children, wherefore the academy of sciences In Lincoln park has attempted to fill the deficiency. Have Nature Study Course. They have free courses in the work with selected museum collections, lantern slides stereopticon views, laboratory work, and nature studies in birds, insects. shells, mammals, plants, rocks, minerals, and so on. Curiously enough, Nicoll knew nothing of this.

He confessed that his ornithology was weak when he arrived in front of a certain glass case in the exhibit The case contains twenty-five birds. Among them are no rocs, whiffle-tits, or other particularly rare specimensto the contrary the exhibit is composed of such comparatively frequent visitors as robins, sparrows, swallowsbut more would be telling. The academy isn't ready yet to have It told. They intend to give booklets with American birds in life colors. to such brilliant child ornithologists as can name the twenty-five.

Up to date they haven't given any away: instead they are reflecting on changing the number of identifications required from twenty-five to ten. Will Spend $170,000 to Triple Oppose Plan, but Fail to Develop Strength. "KEEP THE FARM FOR THE BOY," SAYS IOWA BANQUET ORATOR. Social settlements on boulevards and in exclusive sections of American cities, to train little sons and eavtgihters of tne rich to escape the pampering and indulgence th-ey- receive at home, were advocated yesterday by Rabbi Tobias Schanfarber in a sermon at the K. A.

M. temple, Thirty-third street and Indiana avenue. Deterioration among poor children is due chiefly to poverty and ignorance, he said, but among children of wealthy parents it is principally caused by excess indulgence and encouragement of distorted ideas arising from possession of wealth. We find too little attention paid at the Child Welfare exhibit to children who come from the boulevards," said Rabbi Schanfarber. Brought up amid affluent surroundings, they believe that their wealth can purchase freedom for them from the law of punishment.

A society made up wholly of these pampered children of the rich would soon degenerate into the lowest scum of humanity. Given the same opportunity for education that the rich child but minus evil Influences of which I have spoken, the paor child would probably surpass him in mind, body. and morals."

The charges against Whitford grew out of the sentencing to jail of a dozen striking miners for alleged violation of an injunction.

Later she confessed in court, when she was being tried for perjury.

The jury, after being out almost twenty-four hours en a robbery case. announced that no verdict could be reached and was die-missed. In the room where the twelve men considered the case was found the following tentative 'verdict: We, the jury, find the defendants, William Spitza and John Konszyriski, guilty of involuntary robbery while in a state of Intoxication, and that the plaintiff.
