teenth annual encampment of the Sons
OF Veterans began to-day in the Hall
of Representatives Five hundred del
egates were present. President ]. L.
Rake delivered his annual address, after
which Charles Bookwalter extended the
welcome of the State to the visitors.
The session was occupied with the read
ing of annual reports and other routine
matter. It is the largest encampment
in the history of the organization.

al, submitted his report 1t showed to-
tai cash receipts for the year ending

lures, 50, AGO A supplementary report

but $570 less than il was at the close

Emergencies may arise that viii neces-
state increasing the revenues, the re-
port says, and if this encampment shall

cents, it recommends that the Council
inChief should be empowered to raise
this amount.

LUErGERT MURDER TRIAL.
The Day Consumed in Hearing
Expert Testimony.

CHICAGO, Sept. 9-The entire morn
ing and afternoon sessions of the court
III the trial of Adolph Luetgert were
consumed in the taking of expert testi-
uony.
Through chemical analysis the State
must establish not only the possibility
of a human body being dissolved by the
action of caustic potash heated to the
boiling point, but also that the bone,
hair and flesh, and the drippings of
pInBish matter from the interior of the
vat in the sausage factory are portions
OF a human body. If they can demon
strate these two propositions beyond a
doubt, one Of the most important pOr-
tiOns Of the case Will have been ac-
coEcplished.
BY circumstantiaI evidence they have
endeavored to prove that Luetgert was
apxiOus to rid himself of his wife, and
that he enticed his wife to the factory
or the evening of May 1st. By expert
testimony they expect to prove that Mrs.
Luetgert's remains are now represented
by the bits of flesh and hair. Two ex-
pert witnesses have been called, DR..
Charles b. Gibbs and Professor De La
Fontaine. DR.. Gibson, whose direct ex-
animation was begun Wednesday, offer
ed further testimony for the State, and
was turned over to the defense for cross
examination. Professor De La FOn-
tame was examined by Assistant State s
Attorney McEwen, the direct examina-
tion occupying the remaining time of
the morning session and the entire af-
ternoOn session.
The prosecution could not draw from
Professor De La Fontaine the assertion
that the bits of flesh were human flesh.
They might be human, but they might
also be the flesh of an animal. The
bones. he was sure, were human bones,
but regarding the flesh, he was very
guarded and careful in his statements.
He viii, in the morning, be turned over
to the defense for cross examination.
At no time during the day did the de-
fendant display emotion, not even when
the big dry goods box, with it's grue-
some contents of flesh and bone, was
placed a few feet from him, near the
jury. He handled the gunnysacks and
inspected with curious glances the bits
of flesh and bone which were passed
gingerly from attorney to attorney, but
at no time did his hand tremble or the
look Of ordinary interest give way to
pallOr or an averted glance.
Innocent or guilty, the verdict of all
IS that Luetgert is possessed of more
nerve than any other man who has ever
been tried for murder within the pre-
cincts Of the criminal court building.
The attorneys for the defense contin-
ue in their confident attitude, and as
sert that when their client is acquitted
a number of damage suits are to be
commenced. They intend that those
who have manufactured evidence" as
they put it. shall suffer for the wrong
which they say has been done their eli
ent.

SECTION TWENTY-FIVE.
National Legislators Profess Ig-
norance of the Amendment.

BOSTON, Sept. 9.-The Herald" to-
day prints letters from twenty members
OF the Fifty-fifth Congress, represent
ing as many States, in replying to cir
culars sent out to secure the facts with
regard to the passage of the famous
section - Of the DfngIey tariff bill.
With one exception, the writers pro-
fessed ignorance of the amendment to
section %. Congressman Cobbing of
Pennsylvania says the change was call
ed to his attention, and he believed then,
and believes now. that it is all right,
and there was no trick or misunder-
standing in the matter.
Congressman Lacey of Iowa saws he
examined the am anded section and Won
dered if it was so skillfullx drawn as
to avoid existing treaties, as he sup
posed the treaties would have to be an
nUlled to make it operative.
Senator Frye of Maine says he does
not believe that, as adopted, it repealed
section 422S of the Revised Statutes,
under which the President has extraor-
binary powers touching reciprocal
rights, and that neither Conference
Committee nor Congress intended to
provide by this law an invidious dis
tinction as to the commercial relations
of our country with others.
The other replies contain various ref
erences to the manner in which the sec
ton was passed, some complaining that
it was rushed through" i" others that it
was ''smuggled in" and denying knowl-
edge of the clause in question.

ROBBERS FOILED
An Engineer Who Has Been Held
Up Before.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. "a special to the
"Republic" from Muscogee, I. T., says:
A daring attempt was made last night
to holp up the southbound passenger
train on the NJ, K. and T. Railway at
Bond, I. T., a flag station thirty miles
south of here.
A short time before the train was due
the robbers, about eight in number, took
charge of the section foreman and COM
PEELED him to signal the train to stop.
The engineer in charge of the locomo-
tive was an old and trusted employe,
who had been held up several times be-
fore. He proceeded to obey the signal,
but when his engine was within 100
yards of the signal he noticed several
men standing near the tracks, and at
once suspected their business. Opening
the throttle, he sped by them as though
no signal had been given The robbers
having been foiled in their attempt, fled
and are still at large.
