SENSATIONAL TRIAL
ALI London Excited Over the
BaCCarat Case.
OVER $4,000 APPLY FOR SEATS
The Scene When Court Opened This Morn
ing an Interesting One.

The Prince of Wales WIN Be Called Upon
to Tostiry-His Testimony VIII Have a
Great Bearing On tho Result-It Is
Rumored that the Defence VIII Plend
Justification.
LONDON, June 1.-Beginning with the
baccarat scandal trial to-day, the Brit
ish public will be regaled with a series of
sensations, including eight cases of
breach of promise Of marriage, and a new
trial of the notorious Wolpole-Wiedema
case, which has thrown such n lurid light
upon the state of English society in the
East.
So great Is the interest taken in the Sir
w. Gordon Cumming trial by the public
that there have been over $4,000 applica-
tions for seats, and the court has accomo-
dation for only 250 in that portion re-
served for the public.
In order to meet this unparalleled de-
mand, extra seats have been placed in
the body of the court and a row upon the
bench itself, but these latter are reserved
for the most distinguished applicants.
In order, too, to prevent any possible con-
fusion, Lord Coleridge himself has signed
every ticket for admission.
The scene, therefore, when the court
assembled this morning was an interest
ing one, not only by reason of the fact of
the Importance and gravity Of the case,
or the circumstance that the Prince of
Wales will be called as one of the chief
witnesses, but also because of the position
and social consequence of the audience
which is in attendance to watch the pro-
ceedings.
The great event of the day will natur-
Ill Al
and it is expected that His Royal High
ness will follow Sir William in the wit
ness box. Much will depend on the
Princes evidence, so that apart from the
consideration of his rank, his testimony
will have a great bearing on the case.
Nothing is definitely known as to the
nature of the defense to be brought for
ward, but it is rumored in legal circles
that justification will be pleaded.

A YOUNG GIRLS GRIMES.
She Says She Cannot Resist the Tempta-
tion to Steal.

tion to Steal.
CARROLL, Ia. June 1.-Many crimes
are charged to pretty 18-year-old girl,
who is locked up in the county Jail. She
calls herself Katie Faulkner, but
says she is concealing her real name to
shield relatives from disgrace. She says
she was left an orphan when only year
old, and went to live with an uncle.
Her great passion was for money, and,
seeing circular advertising counterfeit
money, she answered it and placed quite
an order. When it came it was sent by ex-
press with S35 charges, and, not having
the money to get the package out Of the
office, she ran away and went to another
uncle, where she stole $50.
After securing the money she went to
Council Bluffs and put up at the best no,
tel in the city. In short time she left
without paying her board bill, and on ar.
riving at Panama she robbed a store, SO,
cured a suit of mems clothes, and In this
disguise started for Defiance, where she
was arrested, but was released on condl-
tion that she would reform
She says she tried hard to keep from
stealing, but she could not resist the
temptation. She says she failed to se-
cure the money and jewelry Of Mr. and
Mrs. Yates because they would not lie
still long enough, but If she had had a
revolver they would have lain still long
enough for her.

MORE BARNAeY MYSTERY.
An nloEitimate Child Now Brought Int,
the Famous Case.

the Famous Case.
DENVER, Col, June 1.-Developments
in the Barnaby case continue to interest
the public, but are at present mostly
confined to the experiences of witnesses.
A story has come to Denver that might
show up motives in startling manner.
For some time the detectives in the
East have been working steadily on a
clew and attempting to find a certain
mysterious individual.
This person is said to have been the
great and primal cause for the disruption
in the Barnaby family, which eventually
led to Mr.. Barnaby cutting off his widow
with 50, 500 year.
The individual who could account for
so many things has not, so far as is at
present known, even by word or action
placed himself or herself in in position
to cause fear or trouble
This person, who Is likely to become
one of the most important personages in
the case, is said to be an illegitimate
child Of the late Mrs. Josephine B. Bar
naby.
The latest piece of information comes
as thunderbolt in the pervading dull
ness in the unraveling of the great pois-
oning mystery.
Little is known at present beyond the
bare fact that such complication exists.
What its full significance may be can
not be fully determined until the day
when the jury shall be hearing the evil
dence which is to pronounce DR.. Graves
either an innocent and much prosecuted
man or criminal who planned and car
ried into fatal execution the most diabol-
ical murder ever perpetrated in the West.

THEY ARE TOO POWERFUL.
A Movement a gaiust Mercantile Agencies
in Massachusetts,,

in Massachusetts.
BosToN, June The contest over the
Mercantile Agency bill is one of the most
important matters before the Legislature,
and its whole course has been attended
with much public interest. The history
of the movement this year is well known.
An order was introduced authorizing the
Committee on Mercantile Affairs to con-
slider the eNpediency of enacting a law
making mercantile agencies amendable
to the libel and kindred laws.
The committee reported that such Leg
islatiou was ineNpedienJ. Representa-
tive Mellon, of Worcester, disseuted from
the other members of the committee, and
offered a substitute bill
The bill at present before the Legisla-
ture is not a radical one. It's provisions
are that mercantile agencies shall be
liable for injuries inflicted by false reports
on the same basis as newspapers and
private individuals, and that their re-
ports be not regarded as privileged COM
munications.
The whole movement is the result Of
the unique position which the mercantile
agencies hold in business circles. A New
York man who testified made some sworn
S,si ~ $40 a5|tH9O "5SLSIo9 III SohoIal'
The whole question, as viewed by the
promoters Of the bill now before the Leg
islature, is whether the mercantile agen-
cies shall be allowed to proceed in their
business entirely free from legal restraint,
as is now the case. 1t Is claimed that
they are now possessed Of far too much
power, Their whole work is done in So
cret, and man may be injured without
being able to defend himself OF know
from what source the blow was stru clI.

sLR JOHN,S CAREER.
For Years He Has Been Prominent Fig.
ure in the Affairs of Canada.

Sir John Macdonald was born in Suth-
erlandshire, Scotland, January II, 1915.
He was brought to Canada in 1920, when
his father, Hugh Macdonald, settled in
Kingston, Ont. He was educated at
Kingston, and when 16 years old began
to study law He was admitted to the
bar in 1888, and in 1886 became counsel,
and achieved distinction by his defense
of Schultz, who made raid into Canada
In 1896,
Macdonald entered public life in
1874, as the representative of the city of
Kingston in the House Of Assembly and
continued to sit for this constituency
| until the Union of 1878 when he was
defeated. Several other constituencies
| then elected him and he sat for Lennox
County. In May, l847 he was first ap-
| pointed to office, becoming Receiver
General and subsequently Commissioner
of Crown lands. Early in 1913 the
government was defeated, and Macdonald
remained in opposition until 1854. In
September, 1854, the government was de-
feated on the question of secularization
of the clergy reserves, and he entered the
coalition cabinet which was formed, be-
coming Rttorney-general and under his ad-
vice the clergy reserves were secularized
on what was considered a fair basis.
In 1856, on the death of Sir Allan Mo
Nab, Macdonald became the leader of the
Conservatives which position he has held
yer since, exercising great influence on
Canadian history.
In 1858 the Macdonald ministry was de-
feated on the question of the location of
the seat of government, but the now min
istry was defeated on the first day in the
In 1864 Macdonald and his associates
succeeded in convincing the people that
confederation of all the British North
American provinces was desirable. In
bringing about the confederation Mac
donald was an active factor and it may
be claimed that he was the creator of the
Dominion of Canada.
The new constitution went into force
July /, 1867. Macdonald was sworn in
as privy counsellor and appointed Min
lister of Justice and Attorney-General.
In recognition of his services he was
created a Knight Commander Of the
Bath by Queen Victoria and in 1884 he
received the grand cross of the same
order. He remained Prime Minister un-
til 1878 when he was defeated on what
was known as the Canadian Pacific scan
dal. He remained in opposition until
1878 when his party were successful in
the tariff issue and he resumed his office
pledged to protection. In 1882 and again
In 1887 he carried the country. His sue
cess at the recent Dominion elections is
known.
Sir John was one of the Alabama
Claims Commissioners, and for his sue
cess on that Commission was made a
Privy Councillor of Great Britain. He
married twice. His first wife, Isabella,
daughter of Alexander Clark, of Delna-
vert, Scotland, died in 1856. His second
wife was Susan Agnes, daughter Of T, j.
Barnard, member of the Priyy Council
of the Island Of Jamaica.

Grip Communicated After Death.

LONDON, June 1.--Sir Morrell Macken-
zie has made some startling statements
with regard to influenza. Sir Morrell be-
lieves the disease can be communicated
by dead bodies. In support Of this opin-
ion, he quotes a case from the American
newspapers, In which a gentleman of
that nationality, having died with in
fuenza in Paris, his body was en-
balmed and sent TO Philadelphia, where
it was exposed to the view of the family,
all of whom were Immediately attacked
by the disease. Sir Morrell does not
doubt that the influenza was introduced
into the House of Commons by the wit
nesses from Sheffield, where the disease
was at it's worst, who gave their evidence
