LONDON, April 15.-The Hurlbert suit
was resumed to-day. The courtroom was
packed. Public interest in the trial is at
fever heat and there were many fashion
able women among the audience. The
plaintiff and defendant sat next to each
other in front of their respective counsels.
The defense has alleged that it will make
the case one of the most remarkable
that has been tried here for years and the
feeling in court was decidedly favorable to
the defeddant. But there are many mys-
terious points which are not cleared up.
The "Wifred Murray" whom Mr.. Hurl-
bert alleges to have been the woman s lover,
passed under the name of McDermot, and
it is suggested that he is identical
with ''Red jim" McDermot, the Irish
informer. Mrs Hurlbert will probably be
called to swear that her husband was with
her on several occasions when Evelyn al
legged he had been with her. If Hurlbert
can only produce his alleged imper5onator
he is bound TO get verdict, but this is im-
probable. The evidence is so directly con-
Trajectory that 1t is extremely possible for
the Jury to disagree

In the annual report of the President OF the
Trust, as laid before the meeting, the con-
Guiding paragraph has the following regard
ing the peculiar circumstances now being
investigated by the Federal Grand Jury at
Chicago:
"I In conclusion 1 wish TO say that, mas
much as the papers have been teeming with
what is commonly called the Gibson case,'
the stockholders of this company would
naturally expect from the board some refer
ence to the matter. Gibson declares TO US his
innocence, and after investigation the mat
ter so far as lies within our power, we have
no reason to doubt his statement, and tur-
ther that aS long as we are connected with
the affairs of this company we propose 10
shall be run as straight and upright as has
characterized our business from the begin
ming Of organization"
No action was taken on the subject by
the meeting. A full b0ara of nine Directors
was elected. Eight of the old Directors were
chosen and one new One-JuiinS E. French,
q wealthy business man of Cleveland, Ohio.
The sales by the company for the past year
aggregated Al. 73S, III gallons an Increase OF
nearly 100000 gallons over the sales OF the
preceding year, and nearly 9,000,G00 gallons
over the sales of the twelve months ending
two years ago.
Regarding the tests with the new japanese
method of distillation, the Presidents re-
port says the preliminary indications are
very favorable, aud if confirmed by later
auf
ness, with advantages to the trust which ar
incalculable. The trust has the exclusive
control of the patent and pays therefore
nothing except one-ffth Of whatever saving
is made.

INCORRECT SURVEYS.
Mistakes in Locating the Boundary Line Be

OTTAWA Ont, April 15.-Captain De-
vile, the Surveyor General of Canada, dis
credits the correctness of the discovery made
by Ensign Moore of the United States Coast
Survey to the effect that an error in deliniatng
the international boundary gave the United
States slice of Canadian territory equal
to that of Rhode Island. On the contrary the
survey made by the Canadian Government
at Port Moody indicated that Canada had
secured quarter of a mile of American ter
ritory for q distance of several miles The
Suryeyor-General added that grand mis-
take was made in 1913 in surveying the
boundary line between Quebec province and
the United States. For a distance of $50
miles, the Americans secured Canadian
territory amounting at some points to over
mile over the true line, but this was COM
pensated for by errors in favor Of Canada.
