STATE HAPPENINGS.
As Gathered From our Exchanges and
Numerous Correspondents.

Much interest is being taken in the
trial of Ira Adkins at Greensburg
charged with shooting Kelly Parker, on
September Is. On Saturday the court
room was packed with citizens, includ
ing many women of Adams, to hear the
evidence. The evidence of the State
was, in substance, that the shooting
took place at the residence of Mrs
Hazelrigg, who was en- ertaining young
people at party. Parker call to see
Adkins, and Adkins ordered him away
calling him hard names and saying he
would put hole through him Adkins
drew revolver and fired at Parker the
carried home and in a few weeks re-
covered, but still carries the ball where
1t lodged. Parker testified that he was
nnarmed at the time he was shot. The
defense is making hard fight and
claiming that Adkins did the shooting
in self-defense; that Parker put his
uonu " POChCO, duu OlIdO AQhlIo
had every reason to believe that he car
ried revolver and was going to shoot.
The defense has introduced large
number of witnesses to break down the
character of Parker. Both are promi-
ment young men of Adams and well
connected. Parker is son of DIR
Parker, of Adams, and since he recover
ed from the wound he has been attend
ing the Cincinnati Medical College.

HARRY WILL TESTIFY
First intination Regarding the
Matter Comes From At
torney Erwin.
WILL ADMIT BUYING WHISKY
More Evidence Offered In Corr
roboration of the Story
Told by Blixt.

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 9.-Mr. Erwin
was not present when the Hayward
murder trial was resumed and it was
feared that his long bout with Blixt in
the cross examination had exhausted
him. The cross examination of the as.
sistant janitor, Charles Anderson, de
veloped upon John Day Smith, ELECTED
nothing of smportance. Frank Tucker,
the elevator boy ut the Ozark fats, tes-
titled i'm further confederation of Blixt
as TO the long talks the janitor was ac-
customed to have with Harry Hayward
i'm the basement of the Ozark, and es-
pecially as to- the conferences the two
had ON the day of the murder.
Harry VIII Go ON the stand.
Frank McCormick, barkeeper, testi-
fed TO selling Harry Hayward on the
day of the murder flask of whisky
like the one Blixt says Harry gave him.
John Kennedy, a fagman, corroborated
Blixt's testimonyW ~ to his visit 10 the
station on the night of the murder.
The state called s. E. Hance TO further
oorroborate the whisky purchase, but
Mr.. Erwin said Harry would admit the
purchase ON the stand. This was the
fiIst intination that Harry Hayward
would himself go on the stand.

SIoUy Cry, Ia., Feb. 9,--The COM
missioner from the interior department
has completed his report for the tlistri
button of the 100000 appropriated by
congress TO clear titles of settlers ON Des
Moines river lands and the payments
VIII be made soon. In 1916 the dispute
over the title to the lands began. IT re-
suited from conflicting grants by state
and federal governments, and in
volyed all public land within five
miles ON either side of the Des Moines
above the Raccoon river. Bills to ouiet
the title in the settlers passed congress
twice, Cleveland vetoing both. Then q
Dill passed TO appropriate money to buy
the titles from the Des Moines Naviga-
tlon company which has been held by
the supreme court TO hold the fee. About
l,6O0 people win have their titles made
good. The settlers have impoverished
themselves for more than a generation
nghting the cases in courts and con-
gress. and many have been evicted by
force.

THE CABLE TO HAWAII.


Indications Are That the Senate will Make
an Appropriation.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.--The laying of
. cable to Hawaii was further discussed
in the senate during the day, bpt no
'colaclusion was reached and the item re-
mains as stumbling block to the diplo-
matte and consular appropriation bill.
The cable project has been well nigh
Loss sight of in the wide range of Ha-
twaiian debate. 1t is expected, however,
that the cable item will be voted ON
soon, and from the tendencies shown by
the speeches the belief prevails that the
item will be adopted. All of the Re-
Publican speeches have been favorable
10 the cable and it is expected that the
entire Republican vote will be given to
the appropriation of $500, 900 to begin
the work. Several Democrats, includ-
ing Messrs. White, Morgan and Black
burn, and other Democratic members
on the foreign relations committee, are
favorable to, the cable plan, although
certain of the Democratic senators OPP
p0se II as directly antagonistic to the
iAx llfstratf0an policy towards Hawaii.

CAUSE OF STRIKES
New York Board Of Arbitration
Makes Its Report on the
Brooklyn Troubles.
SHOULD Be MADE IMPOSSIBLE
BY Appropriate Legislation.
Prevention ls the OBJ
jective Point.

ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. 0.-The report
Of the state board of mediation and arbi-
tration ON the Brooklyn strike has been
presented to the legislature The re-
port is very voluminous and says:
'The primary cause of this strike and
OF all kindred strikes, is that the legisla-
ture, in creating corporations, has ne
elected to make necessary provisions for
a stable and efficient service of operating
forces upon the lines to subserve the end
for which they were given breath OF
life and clothed with the states power
OF eminent domain. Any remedial leg
islatfon, to be effective, should have
prevention for it's objective point. The
interruption of the operation of a rail-
road in its cofvice to the people, for
which its corporate owner was created,
by reason of dispute between the COM
pany, and operating force or strike of
the latter, should be made impossible. ~

Mow That the Currency BIN Ii Out OF the
Way They VIII BE Considered.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The house
having disposed of the finance bill, viii
devote the rest of this week and part Of
next TO appropriations. The Legislative
appropriations bill viii first be called up
and there seems little In it TO arouse op-
position. Tt win be followed by the
naval bill, which win bring on a warm
discussion over the proposed addition to
the navy of three battleships and Is tor
pedo boats.
The chances for Tire success OF this
bill are thought by its friends to have
been improved by the statements from
the administration that a surplus i'm the
treasury is expected. Representative
McGann expects to be able to call up
the arbitration bill in the course of next
week, and is hopeful that it viii be
passed without formidable opposition.
He considered it conservative measure
since that feature providing for Grim
inal punishment for violation of civil
contracts has been stricken out.

OVERDUE STEAMERS.
Al Number OF Vessels which should Have
Reached New York Before This.

n Number OF Vessels Which should Have
Reached New York Before This.
NEW YORK, Feb. 9.A-Up to 10 o'clock
y m. the steamer La Gascogne had not
been sighted. The fierce gale which
set IN continues, and at Sandy Hook the
wind is blowing &c the rate OF go miles
40 hour, and nothing can be tiistin-
Buished at any great distance from the
shore. A direct telegraphic communica-
non with Fire island is stopped, the cable
Connection with the mainland having
been broken by the vast quantity of ice
an the great South Bay. Should La
Gascogne, now five days overdue, be
anywhere near the coast, she could not
BE- seen until she was close TO Sandy
Hook. The White Star steamer Teu-
tcaic is now about two days behind her
best record time, and the belief grows
that she may be assisting La GasSogne.
Tie Red Star line steamer Rhyn-
land, now l3 days out from Antwerp,
has not been reported. Other steamers
due are the Bolivia from Mediterranean
ports, 10 days from Gibraltar, the Le-
landof City, Is Gays out from Swansea;
the Manitoba. IA days out from London;
the Wittekind, 10 days out from Bremen;
and the Taorinina, 10 days out from
Hamburg.
The probabilities are that when the
weather clears all these latter steamers
will be sighted off Sandy Hook, and it
II hoped that La Gascogne and the Teu-
tonic will be among them.

GROWING ANXIOUS.
Nothing Yet Heard of the Missing steamer
La Gaseogne.

Nothing Yet Heard of the Missing steamer
La Gascogne.
NEW YORK, Feb. S.-There was no
sight nor sign during the day of the
missing La Gascogne, no intimation of
her whereabouts or of the mishap that
may have befallen her. From those
who report all vessels inward bound
came the same answer, mo news" to
the oft-repeated query, "Is the La
Gascogne sighted yet?''
And, with the big French liner five
days overdue and no word of her or the
872 souls aboard, the anxiety has grown
to suspense. Some hope was found in
the theory that the White Star line
steamship Teutonic, now two days
overdue from Liverpool, is standing by
to aid the missing vessel. OF all the
trips that the twin screw flyer of the
White Star fleet has made On the trans
atlantic track, none has been so slow as
this. The Teutonic has heretofore al
ways arrived about ON time.

here from Chee Foo SAYS that the ian
anese have carried oil the Chinese pos
sessions at Wei Hai- Wei, and that thew
have captured or sunk the whole Of the
Chinese Northern fleet.
The Japanese, during the night of
Monday last, Feb. 4, cleared Wei Hal
Wei harbor of all turpedoes, and sub
marine mines, by the slxillful use Of
their small torpedo boats, and the steam
launches from the warships, which
small craft grappled for and cut the
wires connecting the submarine mines
with the shore. When these dangerous
distractions Were removed, the fleet of
the Japanese torpedo boats made a
splendid dash for the harbor, and at
tackled the Chinese feet with such skiIl
that the battleship Ting Yuen was sunk.
These tactics were repeated during the
night of Feb. 5, and the Chen Yuen. Lai
Yuen and other Chinese warships were
blown mp and the remainder of the Chi.
nese feet captured. Following nm this
splendid success, the japanese completed
the capture Of Wei-Hai-Wsi by landing
and seizing the island Of Liu Kung Tao.
which has made gallant defense
against heavy odds.

Chee Foo early in the morning and fired
q few shots at the forts without doing
