y
"Yec, If you destroy the Industry you
will certainly kill the combine" said
Mr.. Gary, but he doubted whether the
evil could be corrected by the enact
ment or repeal of tariff laws. What
was needed was plenty Of light and
plenty of discussion SO that the matter
should be understood. No adequate
law could be passed by congress un-
der the present constitution and he did
not believe the constitution could be
amended, as it would raise the question
of state rights, and states would be re-
luctant to agree to an amendment that
would deprive them of their present
powers. He held that congress could
not go further than to regulate the
interstate business of corporations, and
could not regulate the corporations
themselves.
In reply to questions about foreign
markets Mr.. Gary said the Federal
Steel Company was endeavoring to
keep In the foreign markets, even in the
face of the present great demand at
home, so as to have market to fall
back on in times of slack demand at
home, and keep the plants running at
all times. 1--WE have got said he, "21,-

duty to look after their welfare as that

Ketchum for the death of Harold Erie,
a little child of Henry Erie. The child
was taken sick Thursday last and a
physician came and prescribed.
He was followed next day by "the
faith healers," who persuaded those in
charge to throw away the medicine and
rely upon the Dowie method of treat
ment. This sort of treatment was con-
tinued until Sunday. when the child
died A death certificate was refused
by the physician, and the coroner was
notified. He held an inquest and
granted burial permit

he not only censured the three women
by name, but further recommends that
they be arrested and held to await the

JESTER OFFERS NO DEFENSE.
strong Evidence Against the Alleged
Murderer of Gilbert Gates.

Murderer of Gilbert Gates.
Paris, Mo-. Oct. 2O.-The preliminary
trial of Alexander Jester, which has
been in progress at Paris for ten days,
closed last night. The state examined
sixty-three witnesses, drawn from five
states. The defense introduced no tes-
timony. and the prisoner waived his
constitutional privilege of making
statement. The court reserved its de-
cision until today, but it is a foregone
conclusion that Jester will be held
without bail to await the action of the
grand jury, which meets at Paris next
week.
Yesterday was one of the worst days
of the entire trial for the old prisoner.
The first witness examined was Joe
Livesey, farmer, who swore that in
1871 Jester confessed to him that he
murdered young Gates during fight
east of Middle Grove and hid his body
under the ice at the ford on Reece
creek. To substantiate this alleged
confession, w. b. Riley, Mrs. Amanda
Clark and Mrs. Fannie Satterlin, all of
whom lived below the ford on Reece
creek, testified that when the ice went
out of that creek one morning in
March. 1871, they saw the body of a
dark haired man or boy carried down
the creek, which was then raging tor
rent.
They, as we'll as others, followed it a
long way down stream, but could not
rescue it because of the running ice and
lack of boat. The women also testi-
fled to having seen body covered with
a blanket in one Of the wagons driven
by Jester on Jan. %, 1871, and also a
trail of blood on the road over which
Jester had Travelled.
