DANVILLE INDICTMENTS READY

Miit nl the state's attorney's olllce to

not more than half through with Its

The grand jury spent the ontiri

New Clocks In School ! .
Through thu successful efforts on
the purl of Superintendent F. M. Hun
ter nnd C. K. Thew , manager of the
Norfolk Long Distance Telephone
company , the Norfolk schools are the
only schools In the state equipped
with satisfactory electric clock system.
The system was completed last Salur-
drty under Mr. Thaw's supervision.
In Ihe high school building there Is
bill one clock from which wires con
nect to llttlo buzzers Installed In every
room of the building. These buzzers
announce Ilvo minutes before every
period of change of studies and also
nt Ihe moment the change Is lo be
mndo. This Is done through a delfcnte
electrical and automatic system In the
master dock in Ihe superintendent's
oillco. Other schools of Iho city are
on the name circuit with this clock ,
but the high school building Is the
only school equipped with the buzzer
system. There nro four clocks In Ihe
Washington school ; four in both Lin
coln schools and six in Ihe Grant
school. These schools have nlways
boon equipped with clocks while the
grades nnd high school classes in the
high school buildings were not. How
ever , with the Insinuation of those
electric clocks there Is no danger of
one clock being faster or slower than
another , all governed over the same
circuit from a muster clock In Iho lele-
phone oillco nnd through Ihe clock In
the superintendent's oillco.
When the bell rings for the students
to enter Ihelr rooms before 0 o'clock
each morning al the high school build
ing , they have no way of telling what
time of the day It is unless they pos
sess a 'timepiece. Immediately after
they have commenced their day's work
a little buzzer Installed on Iho roar
wall of each room announces Hint in
live minutes the period Iho class has
been working on will have passed nnd
after ihe llvo-mlnute warning another
announcement comes from the buzzer
to change to other studios.
It has required careful study on the
part of Mr. Thew tp make Iho arrange-
menls for this contrivance through the
medium of electricity , owing to ( ho
fact that nil the buzzers in the room
are on ono circuit and Hint the grade
and high school classes have different
periods. lie was successful , hpwover ,
and Superintendent Hunter Is highly
pleased over nn electrical Installation
which ho claims the best in any school
in the state.
A Psychological Experiment.
Whether the idea of not having
j clocks in any of the rooms will help
i the student to put nil his energies into
i frtudy is not known , but ono student
has already announced thai ho can lell
the time of the day by the sound of
the buzzer
The clock which is doing this work
from the superintendent's office is not
(
I n now one to the students. It 1ms been
| used automatically for some time , but
i' without the necessary success. Bat-
[ tcrles which , were piled In Ihe room
i soon grew old and weak ; the clock re-
i fused to wind and often stopped. Mr.
j Thew visited Mr. Hunter's oillce some
i time ago and after examining the
| mechanism of the large clock announc-
cd that with some remodeling it could
i bo made to work on the circuit with
Iho master clock in his olDce.
The members of the board of edu
cation gave their consent Ihrough Mr.
Hunter's recommendation , and Mr.
i Thew soon had the clock's mechanism
i scattered over his work bench. The
I main works were thrown out and si
I regular automatic clockwork replaced.
i There was no need for a pendulum.
I Condensers were put in the case and
wires connected the workings of the
, paper tape to the relays , which were
< taken from a shelf and also placed
within the case.
I Then came the puzzle as lo Ihe dif
ferent grades which should be notified
l at different times. Metal pointers
were made to run along the tape , in
which small holes are cut in various
places. The tape is numbered. At
o'clock each morning the pointers
, diop oil the tape nutomatlcally , and 1
when the ( ape revolves and brings s
with it the small opening , the pointers 5
( Ftrlke through this onto the metal be
! neath , making' a connection which i
sounds the buzzers for a length ol
tlmo regulated by another Instrument
in the cas-o. If there are two holes li
the tape , both pointers come in con
tact with the metal beneath nnd a ! '
rooms receive the signal. One side
of the tape designates the grades ant
the other the high school clar.sos
therefore holes are cut on whatevei
time of Ihe day the superintendenl
wants either of the classes signaled
j Should he doslru to signal either oi
the classes without the aid of the
clock ho can do BO by pressing elthoi
I one of the two push buttons at the
bottom of the clock.

Omaha Girl Lost in Berlin.
Now York , Feb. S. Advices receiv
ed hero from Berlin say that Margaret
Damm of Omaha , Neb. , a young music
student popular in the American col
ony in Berlin , has boon missing from
her lodging slnco January 21. Details
of the case as detailed in a special
cable dispatch to The Times- indicate
that It is not dissimilar in many .re
spects to Dorothy Arnold's disappear
ance.
The young' woman Is 23 years old ,
tall , good looking and a talented mu
sician. She was last seen by her
landlady. Miss Damm knocked at the
hitter's door at 5 o'clock on the morn
ing of January 21 saying she was goIng -
Ing away. ' She carried only a small
handbag and declined to give either
reasons for her departure or her desti
nation. Her American friends fear
she has committed suicide , because
latterly she had been despondent over
her health and her failure to make
moro progress in music.
A few monlhs ago Miss Damm join
ed the local Christian Science church
which is also mystified by her strange
disappearance. The American consu
lar authorities and the German police
nave been asked to search for the
inisiing girl.

[ saver at the beach declined to nc.com-
pnny her , believing she would give up
f the attempt. But the fair nlhlolc , ac-
t' ' companied by her brother-in-law in a

FAMILY TROUBLES ARE TOLD.
Crlsmores Man and Wffc- Tell Re-
voltlnf ] Stories to Court.
County Attorney James Nichols took
very llllle purl In the case of Charles
Crlsnnoro , charged with assault nnd
battery and disturbing the peace , by
his wife , Mrs. Kdlth Crlsmore , before
Judge George C. Lambert Wednesday
morning. Jack Koenlgstvln defended
Mrs. Crlsmoie. while K. P. Wenlherby
appeared for Crlsmore. From the ov-
Idcnco obtained from direct and cross-
examination Mr. Wontherby in his
final statement to the court agreed
that Crlsmore should not be allowed
to live with his wife any longer , but
that lie should not bo put In the coun
ty jail because of his physical condi
tion.
Attorney Wenlherby's stand In the
case was a surprise to the large crowd
of curious spectators who came to
hear eensnllonal developments. The
rensationnl testimony wns given by
both Mr. and Mrs. Crlsmore. County
Attorney Nichols won some admira
tion from the crowd In the little court
room when ho asked permission to
suggest that two small children be
longing to the couple bo taken from
the room while porno of the testimony
was being heard by the defense. This
canlo when Attorney Wcntherby or
dered Crlsmore to tell his story in
plain words.
"You act as If you arc concealing
something , " said Mr , Wentherby , "I
want you to tell all you know to the
court. "
aCrismoro thtn declared that his
wife had told him that she had been
leading n wayward life while he was
locked up In jail nt Center and that
she loved another Norfolk man as
much as tsho loved him. He mention
ed the man's name and declared he
had found postal enrols on which were
written endearing terms to his wife
aont by this inau. His wife , however ,
line torn up the card , ho tebliQod , but
ho said that ho had found the man's
calling card in his homo when lie re
turned. This card was produced with
a large number f other postal cardf ,
some written with words of love , all
addressed to Mrs. Crlsmore. It was
when Crlsmore declared his wife had
told him thai slie had been dragged
down by two men living in this city
with whom she drank whiskey nnd
had been drugged , that County Attor
ney Nichols asked that the children
be taken outof the room. This was
done , the little tots being cared for in
Ihe ollice of Attorney Koenigstein
Among the other charges against his
wife by Crlsmoio was one that she
drank a great deal of whiskey.
The tldest daughter of the Cris-
more's followed her father on the
stand. The little girl is 10 years old
and she declared that her father swore
at her mother , using very foul Ian-
jnngc , some of which the child was
iskcd to repent. She was not cross-
jxamlned by Attorney Wealherby.
Mrs. Crismoro was asked to testify.
She denied every charge made against
icr by her husband. She emphatically
denied knowledge of the persons send
ing her the postal cards , admitting ,
liowever , thai she had received them.
The calling card she said she received
from a man who had known her as a
waitress in a local icstaurant. She
declared that for the past eleven years
Orlsmoro had failed to provide for hor.
She said she was now being aided by
the county.
At Niobrara , she said , sho. was com
pelled to sleep on the floor with straw
for a bed. She was working nt that
time ns a domestic.
"I will scrub the sidewalks If neces
sary to support my children , " she said ,
but not for that man ( pointing at her
husband ) . I linvo supported my chil
dren for the past eleven years. My
husband has never helped me. 1 have
clothed them myself with the aid of
friends. I never drank until my hus
band taught me. He started mo drinkIng -
Ing whiskey when I did. I would take
a drink now if 1 had It. "
She also denied the charge made by
frlsmorc that his wife threatened to
shoot him with a revolver. She said
it was himself who had the gun and
used It. to intimidate her. Ho had
threatened to kill her and himself , she
said. After Attorney Koenigstoin had
llnlshed with his final statement to the
court , Attorney Wcnlhorby In a few
words announced that his client

place , I would not live wllh the "man.
They are not suited for each other.

scribes. On account of his disease it
is also not right thai ho .should be
locked up in Iho county jail. Ho needs
the opaji nlr. It is the only euro for
tuberculosis. For humanity's sake ho
should bo kept away from his homo

Lambert decided the case , and it was
decided that the matter should bo tak
en under advlsomonl unlil afternoon ,
owing to the fact thai Allornoy Keen
igstoin immediately agreed with Mr.
Wealherby.

Chicago , Feb. 8. All except , two
people in n hundred have neglected
teelh , a condition responsible for
half of all nervous and mental disease
which prevent thousands of children
from continuing in school , according
to Dr. D. M. Olkon , u'denllst , who
spoke at the public library under the
auspices of the Chicago Medical p-

the care of the teelh were as follows :
"Don't use toothpicks , except when
norussury , und thsn with the utmost
care.
"Don't chew gum ; don't let children
chew gum. Teeth need a rest.
"Let children have candy ; but make
them wash their mouths afterward ,

stomach too alkaline , and thus Impairs
digestion.

fer lodging places for bacteria. "
Contrast the Acts.
Wayne Herald : Contrast jLho ac
tion of two Indian women in sacrific
ing themselves for the comfort of
their little ones In Tripp county , S. D. ,
with the diabolical treatment accord
ed the llttlo 3-year-old Stehr child by
ils parents at Norfolk. The Indian
mothers , caught in a storm , took off
their blankets to ndd to the warmth of
their children , and froze to death ,
while llieir lilllo ones survived with
out harm. The unfortunate Stehr
child was neglected , abused , allowed
to freeze nnd finally died. An Indian
knows how to be humane , and oven
nn animal treats Us offspring with
consideration. Thus , Iho Stohrs , If
guilty as charged , are worse than
brutes. In short , to call them brutes
rellocts unjustly on the humane In
stincts of Iho lower order of animals.
