LOVE OF ANIMALS
IS ARSON DEFENSE
Man Who Tried to Destroy
Packing Plant Sent to
Insane Asylum.
Bv tile Associated Tress.
ROCKFORD, 111., February 24.
Frank Lilts, self-styled cowboy, who
claimed his love for animals spurred
his attempts to destroy a horse meat
packing plant here, has been found
guilty of arson and declared insane.
Litts will be sent to the Chester
Penitentiary for Criminal Insane as a
result of a jury verdict returned lat<
last night. The defendant vigorously
fought the insanity defense of his
counsel.
Litts made numerous attempts to
raze the Chappel Brothers plant,
where horses are slaughtered for for
eign consumption and for domestic
use as animal food. One fire started
last October resulted in damage of
SBO,OOO. while others were extin
guished with little damage.
His plan to blow up the plant with
dynamite on the night of December 3
led to his arrest. Surprised by a
watchman while placing the explosive.
Litts was shot. He was found the
next day weak from loss of blood.
He claimed he came to Rockford to
destroy the plant after learning on a
Montana ranch that animals were
sent here for slaughter.
I.itts’ claims of having been a cow
body later were denied by authorities,
w ho said lie was a miner and a mem
ber of sevi ral industrial societies.
During his stay in jail lie prepared
an address to the jury defending his
actions on biblical precepts.

LADY FISHER DANCES AND HIKES
DESPITE 28 DAYS OF FASTING
Leader of Forty London Society Wqmen Taking
Fruit Juice “Cure” for Bodily Ills Finds Treat
ment Effective—Prince of Wales Watching.
By the Associated Press.
LONDON, February 24.—While it
is considered unlikely that many Eng
lish people will emulate the example
of Lady Fisher and her fellow
abstinents from food, who have adopt
ed a regimen of fruit juices and fast
ing to heal bodily ills, the “cure,” as
described by Lady Fisher, is attract
ing much notice.
From Trlng. In Hertfordshire, Lady
Fisher announces that instead of
"those appalling long course dinners,"
she is taking the fruit juice cure and
ended her twenty-eighth day without
eating by a three-mile walk yesterday.
“A banquet could be spread before
me without whetting my appetite.”
she says. And she added that she
would fast another month, if neces
sary to overcome an attack of auto
intoxication due to general debility.
Forty other guests are at the old
mansion in the Herts lliiis with Lady
Fisher, who is the wife of Sir Warren
Fisher of the British treasury. AH
of them are living on grape and
orange juices, lemon and apple waters
and water in which vegetables have
been boiled.
The director of the nursing home
where the treatment is being given
holds the view that virtually every
disease may be cured by it. As proof
be points to the improvement in the
condition of his patients, who are
described as having been “the despair
of doctors after years of fighting
against illness.”
It seems, however, that the health

course embraces something more than
ffuit and grape juices and the ab
stinence from solid food. It Includes,
in sortie cases, electrical treatment,
and Lady Fisher herself Is undergoing
this, lying part of the day in a small
room, swathed in electrically heated
blankets. Bhe nevertheless ascribed
the betterment of her physical con
dition mainly to the juices and avoid
ance of solids.
Lady Fisher says that notwith
standing the lack of food she is able
to dunce with enjoyment every eve
ning and walk two or three miles
daily. Moreover, since undergoing
the treatment, she finds her brain
working better. Whether she appre
ciates equally all the drinks prescribed
is not clear from her statement, but
those who have not been initiated
into the regimen express doubt
whether water in which onions have
been boiled, which is part of the
proscription, is taken with the same
gusto as the grape, orange and lemon
juices.
The Prince of Wales has not yet
adopted the fruit juice treatment, but
the Westminster Gazette says that
lately he has reduced his daily diet to
the least possible compatible with the
fitness which it is necessary for him
