Slayer of Husband Is Freed by Jury Charlotte, July 22.—The jury freed Mrs. Nellie Freeman, the 17-year-old Charlotte bride, who cut her husbands throat in May with a razor, after deliberating for nearly two days. The verdict was received on Wednes day without any demonstration. The throngs that had crowded the Char lotte courthouse for several days dur ing tile trial had left and only a few people were present when the jury returned its answer. The plea of insanity had. played the chord of sympathy until twelve men agreed th&t she should not suf fer for embracing her husband and cutting his- head half off with a razor in an effort to make a better man of him. Pastor Kills Leading Citizen in Church 1 V,- Forth Worth, Tex. July 20.—One of the sensations of the past week v.as the killing by Dr. J. F. N orris of one of the leading citizens of Fort Worth, Tex, D. E. Clipps. Dr. JS'orris, a leading Baptist preacher, who, however, was out of harmony with' the rank and. file of " his church had built up a Kreat fol lowing, and has been preaching to one 'of the largest congregations of any church in Fort Worth. Dr. Morris had previously bean tried for burning a church, but was acquitted. He now asks that he be indicted, that he may face the court to answer the charge of murder. Friends of Dr. Nurris are building up a line of defense upon, the ground that he killed Chipps in order that he might free himself from a conspir acy which had been formed againßl him by other church peo Pi* Many people put ,\or,ris down as a fellow who liked to criticise and make charges against others, but when others disagreed with him it was treason iii his estimation. The fact that a preacher has a pistol at .hand when friends come to see him and a heart to shoot them down befpre they passed out places lum in the list of uncertainties.

I Byrd in Airship and Doughnut I g Boat. 1 a ■ A MODERN home built In the Arctic defied the death-dealing cold of the Polar Regions and proved an In valuable aid to Lieutenant Commander Richard E. Ryrd In his successful flight to the North Pole, which he circled three times In a record breaking flight of 1,000 miles in 15 hours and 80 minutes at an ■verage speed of 08.715 miles an hour. ' It was at the Spitsbergen base, King's Bay. where this first modern house was constructed amid the snow and ice of the Arctic Immediately upon the arrival of Lieutenant Byrd and his companions, as a permanent home and observation sta tion for the explorers The house, which roße up on the horizon of the.frigid north in marked con trast to the Igloo of the esklino, WUB Equipped with it com plete radio outfit that those who remained nt the base while Lieutenant Byrd made his thrilling dash to the Pole In his speeding Fokker might keep In touch with their chief and the outside world, which they kept In formed as to the progress and success of the flight. It was to this same home that he returned after his hazardous trip and from which some of the first mes sages were sent to the waiting public, telling them through the lanes of the air that Byrd had circled the pole three times and had returned to his Spitsbergen home in safety, adding one of the most memorable pages to the history of Arctic exploration. Sugar Can* Fight* Polar North. When Lieutenant Byrd left the Brooklyn Navy Yard on the ship Oh antler he declared.he had the best and most scientifically equipped expedition that ever liad started for the North I'ole. Special plans were mude for .the erection of his Arctic home. Boards of celotex insulating lumber made from bagasse (sugar cane fiber after all sugar Juices have been extracted) were carried along with the latest inventions to aid In polar exploration. This building material Is very light and Is filled with millions of sir cells, which give it great Insulation value and resistance to change in temperature, especially the severe cold. One odd circumstance In connection with the use of this material Is that the sugar cane of the south was utilized to fight the cold of the north. Celotex was selected Instead of lumber because tests made by the United States Bureau of Standards and its universal use In building construction all over the world, had demonstrated that this insulating lumber would keep the quarters of the explorers warmer mid protect their living conditions more securely than ordi nary building material. It was only after careful investigation by the scientific men In the expedition that celotex was selected. These authorities pointed out that the protection afforded by Its Insulation efficiency was three times as great as ordi nary lumber and nearly twelve times as grout as that of brick and other masonry material. The ship Cliantler also was lined with celotex as an added precaution to keep the ship warm while the explorers used It In the preliminary stages of the expedition. In practically every other way this expedition was more scientifically prepared than any of its predeces sors. These included inventions of Commander liyrd himself. A simple sun compuss conceived by Byrd rind developed by Mr. Bumstead of the National Geographic Society, superseded the complicated Uerman device, de veloped three years ago' for Amundsen. The drift In dicator also was Byrd's invention. The bubble sextant by which the navigator obtains his bearings while In flight was another one of his inventions. Still another sclentic development was a quick method of telling when one Is at the North Pole. This has been worked out by O. W. Littlehales, the navy's hydrographlc engineer. Davie* Locate* the Pol*. Byrd and others contributed to a chart of the mag netic lines flowing toward the magnetic North Pole, which is In Bolthla Land, 1,200 miles south of the Pole. Between Bolthla Land and the Pole the campass points south instead of north and over much of the Arctic It is badiy disturbed by the discrepancy of position be tween the geographical North Pole and the magnetic North Pole. This chart of the magnetic lines, flowing to the mag netic North Role, although It was far from complete, was such as to «nable the navigator to tell In what direction the compass should point from any spot In the Arctic. With this knowledge, the erratic behavior of the com pass becomes orderly and it Is once again a useful instru ment. A third type of compass used was a device ofl infinite sensitiveness—a revolving electrics! coll, which la ad- Justed to a given relation with the magnetism of the earth. This, the sun compass, and the magnetic com pass were each used to correct the other. Lieutenant Byrd in his flight used a quick method of telling when he was actually at the Pole. This WHS the invention worked out by Mr. Littlehales, the U. S. Navy hydrographlc engineer. It shows the sun's posi tion from the North Pole at every hour of the day and every day of the year. When the flyer Is uear the Pole he can, by ascertaining the exact position of the sun, prove that he Is near the Pole. File* 3,000 Mil** Over Arctic. The expedition, backed by such nien as John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., hud three main objects.

C. ' having nek shapes, metes, courses With him this time Commander Byrd took a noted fuel export, who Is Flying Commander 0. 0. Noble, us it requires great skill and pains to prevent the freezing of lubricating oil and Btlffened uctlon of the motors, If forced to work on the plane in the open at great altitudes with the thermometer at 60 to 70 below zero. The points which favored the month of May were that the Arctic fug hud not begun to rise and heavy snows still covered the land and afforded many good landing places. A factor of safety pointed out by (Commander Byrd In connection with the use of the Fokker machine Is that tt carries a reserve engine. It has three engines. With a light load one Is expected to he sufficient to maintain the plane In flight. With a normal loud, two engines wIH do the work, if two engines break down at one time, when the plane Is not too heavily loaded, it may fly with the use of one engine, The Fokker machine has a wing spread of slightly more than 04 feet. It Is said to be u marvel of airship construction. The other airplane—the Curtis Oriole—was to have befit used chiefly In finding landing fields so that If the fliers found their main landing place covered with a fog they might go elsewhere. The Chan tier was equipped with a powerful radio trans mitter to send back the news of the expedition. The Fokker also Is equipped with a receiving and trans mitting set. Commander Byrd not only kept the world informed of the progress of the expedition, but received "through the Chantler weather warnings to guide him In Ills flight. How Expedition Was Equipped. Forty-five hundred pounds of whole beef were Included In the rations of the Byrd'crew of forty-seven filers, seamen and technicians. Also four hundred pounds of pemmlcan (meat fats and raisins), huge quantities of bacon, dried milk, erbswurst (pea soup) and other sup plies In proportion were carried along. Cod ll**»r oil was Included for its healthful properties. Herbert Griggs, who had charge of provlsionlug l'eary's expedition In his famous dash to the I'ole, worked out the rations for the Byrd explorers. Two pounds per man per day was the allowance to take care oft alt emergencies. No amount of clothing Is really sufficient when flying 1,000 or more feet In the air In the Polar regions, but every possible precaution was taken by Commander Byrd against exposure. The men were equipped with the warmest und lightest of reindeer suits and with fur parkas, a garment that reuclies to the knees and has a hood covering the head. Plenty of goggles were found to be an absolute necessity to protect them ugalnst the glure of the snow. In spite of all the precautions the undertaking was foil of unseen danger. None of this equipment would be of the slightest avail against some unexpected and un precedented situation which might arise. There Is always the danger of snowbllndness, exhaustion, freezing, some mishap to the engine. Lieutenant Byrd and his com panions, however, were particularly fortunate4n escaping with practically no 111 effects except the exhaustion due to such a perilous trip. Pick Up lea Pilot. The ship Chontler'B first stop was at Tromso, Norway, where an Ice skipper was taken on to pilot the Chantler and Its crew through the Ice-filled waters around Spits bergen to King's Bay, where preparations for the first flight to the Pole were made. The planes, the Instruments and the various oil mixtures used la connection with the airship tests, were carefully examined and tested* Lieu tenant Byrd's original plans called for six flights as follows: I—A 400 mile flight from Spitsbergen to Peary Land to unload oil, provisions and equipment at a place that looks promising for a landing. 2—A 400-mlle flight back to Spitsbergen. B—A second 400-mlle flight from Spitsbergen to Peary Land base with further food, fuel and equipment. 4—An 850-inlle flight to and around the Pole and back to the Peary base. B—An 800-mlle round trip flight to the northwest over unexplored ureas In search of new lands. O—A0 —A 400-mlle flight from the l'eury Land btwje back to jSpltzbergen. It was his plan In his second flight to attempt to dis cover new land, but when he received the report of the flight of Amundsen In his dirigible, In which It was stated that the Norge had failed to find any trace of new land, Lieutenant Byrd decided to abandon further flights and the trip over land on sleds he had planned In his search for new land In unexplored areas. Now he has decided to try to accomplish by airship at the South Pole what he did at the North. As he left the Spits bergen base he stated that he would have just as well un equipped expedition for his southern flight u he had in his recent adventure In the North, LEGAL NOTICES and distances as will more fully ap pear by reference to a plat thereof made by J. 11.
