The jury In the case of State vs.. Martin
l.. Mowry was secured with but little
delav this morning. The first two jurors
examined were from the baby city, and
they had read but little of the case and
had not formed any definite opinion Of
the guilt or innocence of the defendant.
They were accepted. The attorney gem
erals opening statement TO the jury was
brief and the chief motive, ne said, the
state would rely upon was that Mowry
had become infatuated with young
Savilla Reynolds ana that much testi-
mopy would be introduced upon that
point. The prosecutor also referred 10 the
financial condition of Mowry just before
the crime was committed.
Mowry was quite nervous at times dur
ing the trial today, Tut the production OF
the pillows from Mrs Reynolds bed.
covered as they were with blood, had no
effect on him SO far as could be judged by
any outward sign. The attorney general
made one statement in his opening ad-
dress to the-iury that created some sur
prise for il wasa new incident namely.that
a.truss belonging TO Mowry was found
near the body Of Sayilla Reynolds In the
ruins of the Durct mansion.

WASHINGTON, Nov. T-In his annual
report TO the Secretary Of the Navy
Chief Endicott OF the Bureau OF YARDS

necessity Tor ample docking facilities, not
only for small vessels but for the bat
teships upon waters near Key west.
lie said this place was during the war
and may be I'm the future, an important
base Of naval operations. able strategists
having pronounced Key West and Dry
Tortugas the key 20 the GuE Of Mexico.
Therefore it is held, that careful study
should be given to the subject to deter
mine some point at which the very best
docking facilities shall be provided.
Had the war with Spain continued many
months more. the absence Of docking IA
cilities in those waters would have been
most seriously felt and might have af-
fected it's fortunes.
The estimates submitted for the next
wear provide for only one new dock
which is TO be Of the largest type con-
siructcd of granite and concrete. and
located at the Norfolk Navy Yard.

Compression Into Bricks Is Said to Keep
It Sweet and Wholesome.
Both the British admiralty and the
war department are testing under vari-
GUS climatic conditions the new method
Of conserving flour. One objection to
the establishment of national granaries
has been the difficulty Of storing wheat
for any length Of time. The grain ger
inmates and 10 ,,uinea, a.S 10 Aovp vust
quantities in a sound condition has
been pronounced by the royal commits
sion impractioable.
Experiments are being made with a
system Of compression into bricks by
hydraulic pressure. The trials show
that flour so treated is not affected by
damp even under unfavorable condi-
lions, is free from mold and is sweet
and wholesome. Moreover, compression
destroys all forms of larval life, and
flour is thereby rendered safe from the
attacks of insects. The saving in stor-
age is enormous, as the cubic space &C.
cupied by 100 pounds Of loose flour will
hold more than 800 pounds Of the ON
