A special feature Is fistic combat between the soubrette and the ''boy" in which the latter Is done to a finish In the third round. The Sabbath audience was in sympathy with the show and the applause was noisy and frequent

DUBBS'S DEFENSE.
A Strong Case of Imbecility Being Present
ed-Many Witnesses Examined.

Strong Case of ImbeciIity Being Prose Mt
ed-Many Witnesses Examined.
Special to the Register.
Steubenville, O., December 15.-The
defense in the Dubbs murder trial is
proving a strong case of imbecility for
the accused. Twenty residents of
Hopedale to-day testified to Dubbs's
strange actions, talk and his epileptic
movements.
John Dubbs, father of the accused,
said he never did think the boy was
right. He told of his persistent lying,
ravenous appetite, etc. DR.. T. B..
Mansfield, who has studied the boys
case five years, said he was congeni-
tai, inherited, mental, moral and phys
ical imbecile. He gave exhibitions of
Dubbs's epileptic tremors. His is a
case of arrested development of mask
ed imbecility lacking muscular express
sion of thought.
The second sensation in the trial
came tonight, when DR.. H. W. Nelson
stated that Dubbs told him in Jail that
he confessed to numbering the girl to
get in some place out of the cold: that
he got enough to eat in there, and he
did not always get enough food out

Washington, D. c.. December 10
Major General John R. Brooke testified
before the war investigating commits
sion to-day that most of the volunteers
at Camp Thomas came supposedly with
ten days rations, but this was the so
called field ration. and at first they
were hungry. This was remedied by
the commissary department quite
promptly. The volunteers were sup
piled with all sorts of tentage, most
of it antiquated, their uniforms were
old, and their equipment in general
was what had been accumulated
through the pIrsimonious policy Of
the War Department through the pre-
cedirg twenty-five years" Some were
unarmed and some in their citizens
clothes with only one blanket.
The whole energies of the command
ing officer were bent on equipping this
heterogeneous mass of men. but the
work was necessarily slow.

Gen. Brooke said that there was in
the beginning a great many complaints
of scarcity of medicines, but that the
army had abundant food supplies. The
Army of the Potomac in 1861, he said,
was not nearly SO we'll furnished.
While there was some shortage in
shoes and some varieties of clothing
at times, it was only what might nave
been expected when three armies We're
being rushed to equipment at three
points, Chattanooga, Tampa and San
Francisco. He emphatically denied a
statement by one of his staff officers
that the headquarters camp was in a
distinctly filthy condition.
Speaking of the hospital, General
Brooke said:
'In justice to myself, I should say
that the location of the First division
hospital was not my own selection. |

Charles N. King, and E. f. Charles,

of New Yor'- This includes the gen.

States, with very few exceptions, and
the others are expected to be absorbed.
Special to the Register.
East Liverpool, December 15.-Start-
ling rumors have gone the rounds the
past two days that the Homes Laugh
lin China Company and the Harker
Pottery Company, who have formed the
backbone of the opposition to the gen
eral ware trust. had been absorbed
into the combine. Both these concerns
have received propositions from the
trust the past three days, but they have
refused to consider them.
1t is now stated that no action will
be taken by the promoters of the trust
until sometime after the first of the
year. The situation has become
pretty we'll defined. Seven local con-
Germs will remain out of the trust, al
though they assert they are not openly
antagonistic to it. They say they are
not fighting the combine; that it will
be a good thing for everybody; that
they will cooperate with the managers
when they organize, in the matter OF
selling prices and trade details. The
trust people have the privilege of re-
newing the options on the factories.
which expire January /, and will prob
ably do so. They say they will go on
with the organization, even without the
fourteen potteries in the west, and the
two in Trenton, on which they have
failed to secure options.
mately associated with the trust peo-
pie state that there is no intention of
forcing a reduction in wages if the
new scheme goes through They say
the combine will insure steadier en-
ployment, and the output of the Ameri-
can potteries will be increased rather
than diminished. They point out that
the thirty-eight plants controlled by
the trust must run to their full capacity
to pay interest on capitalization of
20,000,000. 1t will require $14,000,00
paid-up capital to put the combine in
existence under the present plan, and
the hitch now is in raising the funds.
The promoters of the deal have not
yet disposed Of that much stock. That
is understood to be all that is holding
back the deal at present.
