Frank, Judge I A. G. Powell, a former member of the j State Court of Appeals, asserted that j the late Judge Roan, who presided at Frank's trial, often had expressed to j him the belief that Frank was inno- j cent of the murder of Mary Phagan. "I was an intimate friend of Judge Roan," Judge Powell's letter stated. "If he were living I would not at tempt to speak for hirr.. Since his mouth is closed by death. I feel it is clue to him and to Frank that I should give you the benefit of what I know of how he felt as to the defendant's guilt." At Judge Roan's request. Judge Powell said, he had prepared portions of the court's charge to the Jury. "I mention this fact," the letter added, j "merely to show I had opportunity of intimate knowledge of the state of Judge Roan's mind." Judge Powell said he wm unable to j explain "why Judge Roan, with these i views, did not grant the new trial. | which from conversations with him 1 fully expected him to grant."

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH ipouLTßy^ngwsi DISEASES PREVALENT AMONG YOUNG CHICKS Something About Their Causes and Symptoms; How to Prevent or Cure Home Treatment For the Or j dinary Troubles of the I Amateur By W. G. Kram jDept. of Poultry Husbandry, New York State College of Agriculture, j Cornell University. j Copyright, 1916. j At this time of year, the amateur poultry raiser Is at the mercy of any number of diseases that may make serious inroads on his flock unless he is prepared. In >his article, the author tells how ito identify a numl>er of the diseases that are most likely to manifest them selves. Also he tells how to get them in hand before the damage Is done, i Many amateur poultry raisers are ; anxiously looking forward to the i brooding season, having in mind their troubles and losses in previous years. Therefore, let us look over the list and see if we cannot get a better in sight into the causes, symptoms, cure and prevention of the more common diseases, with the Idea of avoiding loss, if possible. While diseases may not be inherited, yet many times the susceptibility to them is strongly inherited and there fore we should see to it that we breed only from stock that are well bred, strong and vigorous. We should make sure that the birds have been prop erly housed and fed only wholesome food, and this latter given In such a way that they are obliged to take enough exercise to maintain a good circulation of the blood. It is prefer able to have them take much of this exercise out of doors. The hatching eggs should not he kept too long and should be well cared for. Many times weakness in chicks Is traceable to chilling in transferring to brooders or to Insufficient heat in the breeders. Overheating, as in too small brooders where they have no way of escaping to a cooler place, gives the same symptoms as chilling. Symptoms, loss of appetite, lack of activity and a tendency to crowd even after the temperature has been regu lated; also looseness of the bowels. Treatment —This calls for prevention rather than cure. As large numbers die directly or indirectly from this cause, it is well to Imitate the other hen in all our brooding systems. Fol low above instructions. Toe picking Is quite common among young incubator chicks during the first week that they are put into the brooder. If the chicks are taken to the brooder at night instead of in the morning, there is less danger of it. They can then be fed the following morning and kept active. In case chicks get to toe picking, feed often hut sparingly and scatter the grain into a light litter where they can work for it. In addition throw them some finely chopped meat or green bone and green food once or twice daily. This plan will keep the chicks occu pied and make them healthy. Under these conditions they will forget about toe picking. Leg weakness is caused by damp ness. insufficient ventilation, improper feeding and lack of exercise. Treat ment, first remove the cause; let the chicks put on the ground and feed proper rations. Sore eyes. The sticking together of the eyelids with a thick, dark-colored secretion is not generally fatal. Treat ment—Bathe the eyes In a weak solu tion of peroxide of hydrogen and grease them with vaseline. Gapes—Symptoms, frequent gasp ing for breath due to the parasitic worms In the windpipe. These are known as gapeworms. Many of these are coughed up and live in the ground. These or the eggs are picked up the next season and thus the trou ble continues year after year. Treat ment—A feather may be stripped so as to resemble a small paint brush. Moisten this feather slightly with oil of turpentine and quickly thrust Into the windpipe when the chicken gapes. ] It will kill the worms which are coughed up. To prevent a reappearance of this trouble raise the chickens In new ground the following season. Do not let them on the old run for two or three years. Do not move infested chickens to a new area and thus spread the trouble. Coccldiosis is quite common and Is usually fatal. Chicks from poor breed ing stock are very susceptible. Symptoms Drowsiness, stunted growth, common diarrhea. A post mortem shows the caeca or blind in testine enlarged, hardened and often of a brownish color. The liver Is cov ered with yellow spots or particles. This disease is similar to blackhead In turkeys and no cure is known. Treat ment calls for prevention by the use of strong vigorous breeders and thor ough disinfection of the brooders with one part crude carbolic acid to three of kerosene or the use of any good strong disinfecting material. Give plenty of sour skim milk or butter milk from the first feeding. White diarrhea.—Many forms of bowel trouble are often mistaken for this fatal disease. The bacilary white diarrhea Is usually Inherited from the breeding stock, the germs ure found In the ovaries of the hens and are transmitted to the chicks, many of whom die at less than ten days of age. Symptoms, drooping wings, listless attitude, a thick pasty discharge and a wasting away of the body. Treatment—Liberal use of sour milk. Some poultrymen use a foun tain pen filler and force feed Into the chick before they are old enough to be taken from the Incubator. This trouble can be somewhat avoided by rigid selection and proper care of the breeders. Moldy feeds Hnd moldy litter are re sponsible for much of the mortality among fowls and especially young chicks. The mold dust from the litter Is Inhaled through the lungs, while mold in feed is taken in through the digestive organs. Symptoms—The bird Is Inactive and sleepy and stands around with the wings hanging down. The breathing is rapid, with a tend ency to catarrh, and the chicken has little disposition to eat. The excre ment is usually white. A post mortem will show soft yellowish growths in the lungs and sometimes in the In testines. These are in size from a pin head to a pea. There is no known cure. This is a case calling for prevention by the use of only clean, Bweet food and using litter free from mold, and keeping the yards well spaded or planted to some green food. The best and cheapest tonic* are pure air, pure water, wholesome food, plenty of exercise and sanitary sur roundings. Most of the commercial feeds are very good. In buying them avoid those with too much millet or other hard shelled grains. Grit should be fed separately. Be absolutely sure that all foods are free from mold or mold dust.

A summary of general essentials for growing young stock: 1. Chicks well hatched from strong vigorous parents. 2. Reared in brooders large enough so they can stay in them till moved to the laying pen in the Fall. 3. A good brooder should be roomy, have plenty of fresh air under a good cover, the air to be uniform and sufficiently warm. 4. A good range on clean, uncon taminated soil with plenty of green food to pick. 5. Sufficient shade for hot days. 6. Plenty of pure water at all times. 7. Good food, free from mold and properly fed. 8. Make the surrounding condi tions absolutely sanitary. Endeavor to prevent troubles rather than to cure them, as the most profit able fowls are those that have been grown normally. > Hatching Summer Chicks For Future Broilers and Roasters There's money for the amateur in raising broilers and roasters for the iocai markets.

"I am pleased with everything except the physical condition of the Central High School building," said he, "and you can hardly expect me to be very exuberant about that. The boys and girls are not getting the chance they should have there, and I shall lend every assistance in obtaining the proper facilities for these young people." Much of the evening was devoted by the board to a discussion with Archi tect C.
