Prof. Witthaus has not found in the remains
OF Jennie Sohmer. Zanoli's fourth wife. any
mineral poisons other than those which tho en-.
balming fluid contained and he will not be able
to swear positively that there was any other
poison in tho body. He made experiments which
showed indications of a condition in which the
pupils of the eye became dilated. an effect pro-
duced by certain poisons.
In making his experiments Prof. Witthaus
took n live Kitten and injected into IL a solution
taken from the Sohmer woman's body. Tho
pupil of one of the eyes of the kitten became
dilated. while tho pupil OF the other was con-
tracted.
There is still a charge against Zanoli of de-
~frauding an insurance company by personating

COZ. LOWNDEs's MESSAGE
Wants o Money Damage Placed on Counties
whore LynchinEs Occur.


ANNAPoLIs, Nd. Jan. l1.-Gov. Lowndcs sub
mitted his message to the Legislature this even
ing. Considerable space was devoted to lynch
ings, OF which there have been three during tho
present administration In commenting on mob
rule the Governor says:
at is difficult to understand what precise
methods produce lynchings. 1t is no prevention
to characterize them as 'unjustinable, out
rageous, wicked. cowardly. or lawless.' Lynch
ings constitute murder, pure and simple, and no
legislation could moro clearly define the crime
or prescribe the punishment. And yet it seems
impossible to secure even a presentment against
those who thus set the law at defiance. II o law
could be passed placing upon tho county in
which q l~ynching occurs some heavy pecunlary
penalty 1t might help to- create public senti-
ment against the crime which would bear fruit
in tho choosing of officers who would use intelli.
gent and courageous efforts to protect their
prisoners and discover and prosecute those
offenders against law and order"
The Governor nlso inveighs against bribery at
elections. which he says demands serious con-
bideration.

SEAL GARMENTS MAJ COME IN.

the New Prohibition.

WASHINGTON. Jan. ia special order has
been issued by Assistant Secretary Howell on
account of the difficulties experienced by tour
lists and others crossing the Canadian border at
Detroit and Suspension Bridge through the do
tention OF scalskin garments under the new
sealing law. The order provides that collectors
OF customs shall admit sealskin garments i'm
ported az personal effects II they are shown to
have been in use by owners prior to Dec. 20 last.
1t has been held by the Treasury that sealskin
garments actually in transit to the United
States prior to tho passage OF tho sealing
law were not subject 10 the provisions of the
act. land that ii would be unfair TO hold that
garments purchased by American tourists prior
10 Dec. 30. ana used By them In their travel be-
tween tho United States and Canada. were sub
joct to the law on their arrival in the United
States.
MIR. Howell believes that the exercise OF Or
binary discretion by tho Collector will prevent
the somewhat ludicrOus injustices which have
occurred through undertaking to tax sealskin
garments OF persons who pass across The
boundary at Detroit and other towns every day
In pursuit OF tholr regular occupations.

NEW ORLEANS. Jan. 1l.-A general election
was held throughout Louisiana to-day on the
question Of holding n Constitutional Convention.
At the same timo that the voters voted for or

call was approved and Endorsed by the Demo.

ing n suffrage qualification that would disfran-

Tho Populists combined with the Republi-
