A couple Of tourists who were jour-
neying on horseback in the rural dis
trict Of the South had ridden many
miles when they came to o. small log
cabin, out of which children of all
sizes and ages came swarming out like
bees from hive.
The tourists were tired and raven
ously hungry. Hailing an old negro
at the cabin gate they told him that
they had come to take dinner with
him.
"Xo' is welcum, gemmen!' he said.
II amt got much to eat, but I'll do

Then raising his voice to shrill
yell, he said:

one Of the tourists.

= Few persons realize the cost Of
the war news sent from Manila each
day. The regular rate Of the Eastern
Telegraph Company from Manila to
New York is s2.3a word, and dis
patch filing one column Of the usual
length would cost about $4, 900 simply
for cable tolls. When large number
Of newspapers use the same dispatch,
as in the case of matter distributed by
press associations, the cost Of it to
each paper is, Of course, much re-
Iuced, although the annual expense Of
collecting news has been increased for
all American newspapers by the coun-
try's oriental expansion. 1t is no
more than fair for the reader to credit
an expansion paper with unselfsh mo-
tiyes.

Agricultural Department to Exper-
iment With Them in Arizona.

WASHINGTON, April 20.-The most
expert pathologist of the Agricultural
Department, Dr. Zwingle, is in Morocco
on mission which the department
hopes will launch new and profitable
industry in the most arid sections of
our Southwest. 1t has been found that
date palms with some irrigation will
grow as we'll in Arizona as in Arabia.
EARLY Mormon settlers in the Terri
tory proved this many years ago, but
the trees We're not of the best variety
and date growing never developed as
an industry.
DR.. Zwingle is making a close study
of the African date palm, selecting the
very finest varieties and those best
adapted to our arid region. These young
trees will be carefully shipped to Ari-
zona, where they will be planted and
cared for under the close supervision of
the department experts.

Presents Evidence to Show That the Sigma
ture Was Not Genuine.
Many Exhibits of the Known
Handwriting of William MUIR
Signatures to Which, Witness
Asserts, Showed Strong, Posi-
tive Hand, While That to the
Note Was Hesitating and Ner-
vous.

WILLOWS, April 2O.-Daniel r.
Ames, the famous New York handwrit-
ing expert, was ON the witness stand all
this morning in the Murdock case. His
testimony was very interesting. He
said that for thirty years he has made
a speciality of this business, and had
testified in 1,2O0 such cases.
Answering General Barnes, he said
that he first saw the Murdock note dur
ing 1897. 1t was shown him by l.. S.
Megginson in San Francisco law office.
One year ago, in January or February,
he was first spoken to- by the executorS
in the present case. He had examined
nearly 800 checks signed by William
Murdock and he had made a study of
their chirography.
Six exhibits were handed the jury,
and Arnes commenced a recital as to The
difference between the admitted and
disputed signatures. Ames said the
admitted signatures showed a strong,
positive hand, while that on the note
was hesitating and nervous; that the
flow of ink in Murdocks signature was
uniformly solid and smooth, and that
the signature on the note is gray and
uneven
Professor Ames said that the slant in
the admitted signatures is about 40 de-
grees, and 90 in the note signature
: The word VIM" in the signature to
the 1890 deed was compared to the
+ VIM" in note, and the remarkable
similarity was shown. The defense
claim the note signature is a tracing.
The signatures to the deed and the
note were looked at by Judge and jury
through a powerful microscope
Anes claims that two kinds of ink
We're used in the note signature, and
that the fibre of the paper has been
torn in grinding off the ink.
The large exhibits were exhaustively
treated to show Murdock's peculiar way
of writing.
Comparisons of signatures of William
Murdoch We're taken up again by Ex-
pert Ames at the afternoon session of
court. The signature to the S10OO0O
note was again placed under the micro
scope, and the jury was asked to look
at the letters of the signature, and to
note certain differences from the sig
natures on 1913 checks witness had ex-
amined.
After more microscopic examinations
of the surface of the paper on which
the note was made, General Barnes
asked Ames:
DO you believe the signature to this
note is the genuine handwriting of WILL
lam Murdock ?"
1T is not answered the expert.
Have you any doubt about it?" asked
the attorney.
None whatever was the reply.
Further questioning brought simply
a repetition of former testimony.
Take the Witness said General
Barnes.
Grove L. Johnson's first question to
Ames was: do you call your business a
science, art or trader"
"All three" was the answer
Witness said that it was not an exact
science like mathematics.
johnson asked Ames if mistakes could
occur.
The answer was Yes" and with that
answer court adjourned.

FILIPINO JUNTA DIVIDED.
LONDON, April 20.-It has been

among the members of the Filipino
Junta, a majority of whom are in favor

disagrees with this view, have started
for Manila, leaving Agoncilio, Rio and

total loss being estimated all the way
from 100000 to S125,O00
The fire started in the cooper shop of
the winery, which had not been used for
some time, and had made strong head
way before it was discovered. The
buildings being outside the city limits,
the lack of facilities to fight the flames
could lead to but one reSult-the total
destruction of the property menaced.
The fire quickly spread to the resi-
dence of Ed Brown, who had charge of
the winery, and then ON to the extensive
and valuable warehouse of Castle
Brothers, the warehouse office and resi-
dence and the small buildings in the
neighborhood.
Next to the cooper shop was short
railway switch line on which a number
of cars were standing. All but three
box cars We're saved. These had 70
