Interesting Developments in the Trial OF
John ~Kennedy-The FFisoner Betrayed
by q Woman-A Female Relative of tho
James Boys On the Side of Lava Strong
Case Against Kennedy, Who is Defiant.
KANSAS CITY, No. April 23.-Inter-
est in the trial of John Kennedy, the
reputed leader in the recent Blue Cut
train robberies, was quickened yester-
day by the appearance in the proceed
ings of a relative of the notorious
James brothers. Following the testi-
mony of James Flynn, the Cracker
Neck farmer, who confesses to ON
plicity in the ~robberies, and who went
on the witness stand and told every
detail of the two holdups which, he in
sists, were committed by Kennedy.
two men whom he does not know and
has never seen since, and himself.
Miss Maggie Ralston was called to
the witness chair. Miss Ralston is
about thirty year of age, tall and
good-looking. She comes from the
Cracker-Neck district and is a sister
in-law of Frank James.
Miss Ralston is said to have been a
favorite in the eyes of the accused
robber. She testified that n few days
after the last robbery Kennedy told
her hat he had So, 900. The express
company has claimed all along that
but 81, 800 was secured by the robbers,
but there have been persistent rumOrs
that the robbers secured a large
amount. Miss Ralston testified that
Kennedy had been a frequent visitor
at her home. The last robbery was
committed on Christmas Eve. The
day after Christmas, Miss Ralston said,
she met Kennedy in Independence,
Mo-, and one of the first things he said
was:
1--WE got 'em again"
Miss Ralston then asked:
you did get something, this time,
them" and Kennedy answered Yes"
Kennedy then got into the young
woman's carriage and rode with her.
During their ride he described the rob-
berry infinitely, but he did not state di-
rectly hat he participated in the adj
venture, though he did tell her that
the robber chief bore 4 strong resem-
blance to him, and that he might be
arrested for the crime.
On the Sunday following this con-
versation Kennedy visited the Ralston
house, and it was then that he told
Miss RalstOn that he had S32, 600.
though he stated that he had won it
gambling.
During this testimony Kennedy's at
titude was defiant, and he frequently
declared that the witness lied.

WILLIAM STEEL HOLMAN,
"The Watchdog of the Treasury Passes to
His Reward.

Ills Reward.
WASHINGTON, April 22.-Representa-
tive Holman, of Indiana, died at his
home here at 2:05 p. M, after an illness
of some weeks. Spinal meningitis was
the cause.
William Steele Holman would have passed
the three-Quarter century mark had he lived I'M
til next September. and his career is remarka-
Bile for the large proportion of his life that was
given up to the service of the public. No liv-
ing man, and few men dead, have a record as
he had Of 16 terms in the house of representa-
tives, and in all 81 years of his life we're Spens
in some public capacity, beginning with q judi
cial position in his native state, and winding up
in the house OF representatives, which he tirsI
entered in the Thirty-fOurth congress.
Mr.. Holman was a great force in political af-
fairs for many years and even of late. when adj
vancing age made it harder for him to meet the
more severe demands OF his place, he was an
honored and respected counsellor in the demo-
cratic party caucuSeS, where his ripe wisdom
and long political experience was freely ayailed
OF in shaping party policies. As the watch
dog of the treasury he was known to the Amer
lean people, and the policy OF strict economy
that he consistently pursued when in charge of
the appropriation bills has been followed so
long that it has come to be regarded as one of
the party tenets in all congresses.
Mr.. Holman was born in Indiana, in the coun-
try, at a little pioneer homestead in Dearborn
county, called Verestau, in September, 1872.
As he wrote his autobiography for the con-
OCCASIONAL directory it is recorded that he had
q common school education, supplemented by a
two years course in Franklin college, Indiana.
Then he taught school and practiced law until
1Si3. when at the age of q years he en-
tered the public service as probate judge.
He was prosecuting attorney from 1877 to 1919,
and in 1850 he attended the constitutional con-
ventior. The following year he entered the
legislature, and from 1882 to 1856 he was judge Of
common pleas.
His congressional career began with the
Thirty-siXth congress, and out of the twenty
congresses that have elapsed since that time he
has been absent from only four. namely the
the thirty-eighth, fOrty-fifth. forty-SiXth and
ffty-fourth, an almost unparalleled record.
Personally, Mr.. Holman was OF a most genial
and approachable disposition. He was entirely
willing to listen to any person who called for
his assistance, and although often obliged by
his sense of duty to resist the opportunities OF
his colleagues in favor of some measure Of
vital interest, he always did so in such an i'm
personal manner as to take away largely the
sting Of his refusal. In fact, it vas one of the
strong points of Mr.. Holman that in his long
congressional career he refrained entirely from
personalities, and consequently he had few per-
Sonal enemies.

LONDON, April 23.-The Athens cor

that the Crown Prince Constantine has
sRired to King George as follows:
1.-The Turks are quiet to-day, owing
to our success yesterday (Thursday).
We have destroyed the Turkish bat
terry at Ligeria. The Turks have re-
tired from Nezeros and Rapsani. The
action of our fleet at Katerina was ex-
,cellent. l was in the first line of fire
yesterday"
The Chronicles correspondent says:
The Turks are greatly dismayed by
h destruction of their stores at Kat
-erina and Litochorion. Commodore
Sachtouris destroyed the stores from
the coast to the foot of Mount olympus.
Nothing remains, therefore, for Edhem
Pasha to carry away but hunger. The
coast road being barred, the only re-
manning road from Salonica is the
Ferri road, eight days from Elassona.
The reports of the injury to the rail-
way line by the blowing up of bridges
and a tunnel are confirmed.
Financially, everything is going
well, and the value of paper money

that the Turkish troops will be with

Private advices from Volo say that
all the villages between Katerina and

THE ONE-WAY RATE PLAN
For Christian Endeavor Passenger Traffic
to San Francisco.

IL S6h
CHICAGO, April 2+-At a meeting of
the western roads yesterday afternoon,
held to consider Christian Endeavor
rates, a resolution vas submitted for
the adoption of a one-way rate of SIS
in both directions between Chicago
and San Francisco via the Missouri
river, and S32. so via st. Paul and Port
land. This resolution is assured OF
adoption.
The Southern Pacific road objects to
the one-way rate plan, but the other
lines think it is the only way left them
of protecting their local business. OF
course the Southern Pacific can refuse
to adopt the plan, and if so, that
would kill it. In that case. however.
the western roads would simply say
that under such Circumstances they did
not cart to go into the business at all.
The result of thai course would be to

A Strong Point for the winchester

In time everything breaks or wears out.
Outlines a break can be repaired if the prop
er means are at hand. One of the many
great advantages of using a Winchester
make of rifle or repeating shot gun is that, if
any part of the gun is broken, it can be cas-
lily replaced at a trifiing cost. All Winches-
ter guns are made by a system of inter-
changeable parts so that a part will fit any
Winchester gun of like model. This per-
mits the owner of Winchester to renew any
part of the gun without the aid of a gum
maker. Parts can be obtained through
any gun dealer in the country. This fea-
ture alone should recommend strongly

gravest apprehension. The break al
Delta has inundated rs, 900 acres of the

Reports from Grecnville are not en-

river at Memphis fell three-tenths of a

the river there fell seven-tenths Of a

and will continue to fall at that rate
for some days to come.
At V~icksburg and New Orleans there
are no changes, the river remaining
stationary. At all other points from
which bulletins are issued a decline is
reported varying from one-tenth to
e~ight-tenths of a foot. The greatest
fall is at Shreveport, La, where the
gauge shows a decline of eight-tenths
of a foot in "a hours. The Missouri
