CANADA'S FUTURE
Laurier's Hopes Are Better Than His
Judgment

MONTREAL, Sept. 17.-Sir wilfred
Laurier, as Premier of Canada and the
representative of Canada to the Queens
jubilee, is being entertained by the Board
of Trade, At banquet, after treating
of the denunciation of the German treaty
and stating that Canada had attained
its status as nation, he pointed out tina t
tbs American republic had been the CEN
ter of attraction for all Europe. Touch
ing on the prestige established by the
war OF independence and the first estab-
lishment of democracy, he said a new
star Of liberty had risen in the West and
whatever the Americans could claim, the
Canadians could claim also. The day
was not far distant when the tide of i'm
migration to the States would be re-
versed, and Canada would teach those
welcome emigrants to sing God Save tn 2
Queen.
This would be a guarantee Of peace.
They would learn there was as much or
more liberty under the monarchial in
stitutions in Canada as under the Amer
lean republic. Ninety per cent of our
products went to Europe by American
ports. but that state of affairs must be
reversed. The St. Lawrence was ths
natural outlet of America for trade with
Europe. He hoped some day to discuss
this question before an American audi
ence and to bring about more friendly
relations between the two nations.

TRAIN ROBBERS
Take Their Arraignment as a Huge
Joke

STOCKTON, Cal. Sept 17.-George
Williams ard George Slagel, who were
arrested after a hard chase for attempt
ing to wreck the Los Angeles express at
Moreno on two occasions, were ar
raisned before Justice Parker this af-
ternoon on two charges of attempted
train wrecking. Both men seemed in
good spirits and Williams was smiling
all the while, as though the whole pro-
cee6ings were a farce. He smoked a
cigar while the charges were being read
An incident OF the arraigrment was a
tilt between Sheriff Cunningham and an
attorney named Fairall. Williams had
retained the lawyer to defend him and
Fairall wanted to talk to Slagel. Cum
nir,gham objected to this and hot words
passeG between the two. Slagel finally
said that he wanted to retain Fairall
and the lawyer was allowed to talk to
him.
The fact has Leaked out that Williams
and Slagel have been under the espion-
age of the officers for the last three
months. A third party is suspected of
completely in the attempts to wreck the
train. but there is said not to be enough
evidence developed against him yet to
warrant his arrest

Associated Press Special Wire.
CHICAGO, Sept 1I.-When the trial ol
Adolph L. Luetgert opened today, the
crosse examination of Prof. Dorsey was
resumed. He was questioned as to COM
paratively mature sesamoid and femul
bones of the calf, sheep and human be-
ing. His answers were technical ano
adroit, but of a character that supported
his original Identification and testimony
with reference to the bones in evidence
There is said TO be a differe nee between
Luetgert's counsel with reference to thS
defendant taking the witness stasd II
his own behalf. Attorney Vincent is mol
inclined to permit Luetgert TO do so. At
torney Phelan believes the sau.sag
maker should tell his story to the jury
Luetgert himself is quite determined tc
go upon the witness stand. He not only
desires to tell his story, but also wants
20 address the jury. In all likelihood he

at least three weeks longer. The prose
cution will rest its case tomorrow, after
three weeks given to the presentation
Of evidence against the prisoner and four
weeks spent in the trial.
The prosecution will close its case with
some strong evidence tending to prove
the motive for the alleged crime. The
state will endeavor to show that in
fatuation for Mary Siemmering, the
servant girl in the Luetgert household
was the cause for the murder. 1t will be
claimed that the big sausage maker de-
sired to make the girl his wife, and that
he put Mrs. Luetgert out of the way TO
permit his marriage with the girl. TIC

Odorofsky, employees of Luetgert, who
have already testified in the case, Will be
put upon the stand and will give evil

testify as to the friendliness of Luetgert
for Miss Mary Siemmering and the in
dignant opposition to the girls pres
ence in the house made by Mrs. Luetgert

suspicious, but to come out boldly and
say that they are yellow fever.
The situation at Edwards is brighter,
the total number of cases officially re-
ported being nineteen, including two
new cases 1t is quieter at Jackson. A
