State Department Furnished Additional
Information.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3l.--The state de-
partment has been furnished further
details of the status of affairs in British
Guiana concerning the boundary agi-

IT'S NOTHING SERIOUS
Governor of British Guiana
Talks About Matters in
Venezuela.
Recalled to England to Con-
fer With the Colonial
Secretary.
Concessions to Americans, He
Says, Not Affected by the
Dispute.

LONDON, Oct. 31.-Sir Charles Cam
eron Lees, K. G. M. G., governor Of
British Guiana, arrived at Plymouth at
midnight, having been recalled to Eng
land to confer with Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain on the Venezuelan bound
dairy question. Sir Charles was seen
upon his arrival by a representative Of
the Associated Press, who sought to OBJ
tain his views upon the Venezuelan
interview. He said:
Il regard the frontier outrage (the
so-called Uruan incident) as a purely
individual act, as the British subjects
Barnes and Baker, who were arrested
by the Venezuelan officer, when
brought before the higher representa-
tives of the Venezuelan government
were asked by them to return to the
British territory. But they declined,
on the ground that there was no means
Of transit back"
The Uruan incident referred to by
Sir Charles Lees was that upon which
the reported British ultimatun to
NeneZueld was DdS6u.
Expects No Serious Trouble.
He was asked if he thought that any
serious affair would occur in the event
of a crisis, to which he replied:
II think not, as there is only very
small police station ON the Venezuelan
frontier. The VeneZuelans tried their
utmost to persuade Barnes and Baker
to return to British territory after they
had been arrested"
The Associated Press representative
then asked the governor if any difficulty
was likely to arise out of the concessions
made to American capitalists by Ven
ezuela. He said:
"No concessions have been made
within the British sphere of influence,
and therefore no difficulty is likely to
arise. have no idea that there will be
any serious resistance to the British de-
mands growing out Of the Uruan Incl
dent, as the Venezuelan government
seems desirous of doing everything pos
sible to repair any injury done to Brit
ish subjects"

Shocking Story Of the Wretched
Woman Fails to Affect
the Prisoner.

PHILADELPHIA Oct. 31.-For four long
hours, under the scrutinizing gaze of a
courtroom crowded with strangers to
her, pale, worn woman underwent an
ordeal which well might have broken
the nerve of many strong man. She
was Mrs. Carrie Alice Pitzel. With
bravery and fortitude she stood the
test, in spite of the fact that her phys
ical condition has been so shattered by
the battalion of woes under which she
has all but succumbed that she was
obliged to interrupt her pitiful narrative
at frequent intervals to accept spoon
fuls of medicine from the trained nurse
who attended her. In a voice broken
with grief she told the whole distress
ing story. How her husband was spir-
tied away from her and murdered outof
sheer greed of grain; how she bade her
little ones goodbye, confiding them to
the care of the man Holmes in all trust
fulness, little thinking that whc1 next
she should set eyes ON them tie TWO lit
tie girls would be lying sideby side on
The Marble Slab of Morgue,
cold in death, and the boy parcel of
mouldering bones. Between her bitter
sobs, she related every detail-from the
first meeting with Holmes almost up to
today-and so affecting was the story
that even District Attorney Graham,
long used to tales of misery and dis
tress, paused in the examination to wipe
away a furtive tear. The woman's
physical condition was such that the
court crier had to repeat her testimony
after her, because of her weak voice.
Throughout it all the shrunken, pal
lid figure in the dock-who, to one un-
familiar with the shocking story would
never be taken for the arch criminal of
the age-sat unmoved. Not O muscle
quivered, not lash moved, even when
the strain became so great that the
hearing halted to give the wretched
woman an opportunity to recover her.
self. Indeed, once or twice, as some
statement from her lips struck chord
in his breast-if chords there be in such
a mana malicious sneer played
around
His Thin and Bloodless Lips.
But never once did the woman look
towards him. During every moment
of the long examination she kept her
eyes rivited on the commonwealth of
ficers or counsel for the defense, as if
fearing to shift them to either side lest
in their. course they should fall upon
the face of the man in the dock.
The cross examination of the wit
nesses was conducted actively by
Messrs. Shoemaker and Rotan, the law
yers whom Holmes dismissed on Mon
day and recalled later, but it was ap-
parent that it was really Holmes him
self who was conducting the defense.
He continued to take copious notes and
almost momentarily his attorneys were
at the dock side accepting suggestions
from him

British Troops Are Marching Through

CHICAGO, Oct. 31.-A special from
Washington says: The confirmation
that an armed British force was march
ing through Brazilian territory to that
part of Venezuela claimed by Great
Britain will, it is said, bring the inter-
national dispute to crisis at once. In
some quarters fears are expressed lest
the negotiations be prolonged until
England gets all the soldiers she wants
in the disputed territory. Possession,
in law, as in diplomacy, is several
points in favor of the aggressor, and
for possession England, it seems, is
playing her trump cards.
