SALINAS, Nov. 3. - The trial OF
George Suesser for the murder OF Sher-

ser maintained his usual compOSure,
and seemed Indifferent to most OF the
testimony.
When ex-District Attorney Zabala
and Joe Tial, both eye-witnesses OF the
murder, testified to having the gun OF
Farley's assassin pointed at them, Sues
ser appeared greatly amused.
The facts brought out to-day were to
the effect that Farley told Suesser ne
would shoot if he did not come to him.
Suesser's only reply was to fire at the
officer.
Sheriff Keefe, Marshal Nesblt and
Constable Allen told of the capture OF
the murderer. Keefe was first under
the house where Suesser was hiding,
while Nesbit took his life in his own
hands in an attempt to kill Suesser
Allen exchanged shots with Suesser.
To-day the case was rehearsed from
the time Suesser was arrested on the
afternoon of September 18th for steal
ing a harness from Delaney, when he
assaulted Delaney with an iron bar,
after which he tried to kill the Delaney
family with a Winchester, fired the
Delaney haystack, tried to shoot Offi-
Ger Allen and finally assassinated Sher.

Subjects Who Are Peeresses.

Ten women subjects of Queen Vic
toria are peeresses in their own right
In Norman days such peeresses were
always called on to be present at the
Kings council to represent their own
properties, but this privilege was grad
ually delegated to some one else. al
ways man, as proxy, and SO the
women gradually lost it. But they
can still demand many privileges of a
peer, such as private audiences with
the sovereign for the purpose of rep
resenting views on public affairs. A
peeress in her own right keeps her own
name after her marriage If her hus-
bands rank be inferior to her own.
Nearly all of the ten women are Baron
esses. The present representative of

The fifteenth bearer of another old
name is the Baroness Berkeley. who
is the wife of Major General Gustavus

widow of Sir Thomas Henry Trywhitt.

Memorized His After Dinner Story.

JesSington belonged to a club, and
one night not long ago there was half
formal gathering of members, and Jes-
sington was called on for a story. He
could not recall one to save his life,
and yet he remembered laughing hard
not two hours before at a story a man
in, the street car told. 1t was hope
less. The only thing he could do was
to stammer an apology. But he vowed
he would never be caught thus again
He bought a book on '"Toasts, Mots
and After Dinner Speeches." He COM
mitted one of the short stories, and
rehearSed it to his mirror the after
noon of another half formal event at
the club, and he asked neighbor at
the board to call on him.
The story was that of young look
ing old man who was asked by a Lin
coin Republican how he managed to
preserve his youth by drinking new
rum and voting the Democratic ticket
is the answer
"Oh. see," says the Lincoln Repub-
lican. "One poison neutralizes the
other"
That was the rejoinder in the book
Jessington told the story, clear down
to the climax. From there out he went
this way: Drink new rum and vote
the Democratic ticket, eh? Oh, see.
One neutral poisons the other"
He saw the mistake after he had sat
down, sweating profusely, and he
would have thanked any gentleman to
shoot him.-Chicago Post.

alism, and it is understood to be Mr..
Cooks policy to limit the discussion OF

these two issues and matter affecting
the National Administration so long as
he performs the duty of editor.
The significant thing about the omis-
sion of silver articles from the "Bulle-
TIM is that Mr.. Cook is supposed to
be acting under orders from the chiefs
of the National Committee. He said
yesterday in speaking Of his work as
editor:
Il will endeavor in preparing matter
for publication in the Bulletin to rep
resent faithfully the ideas of a major

Committee. The object of the 'Bulle-
tin will be to disseminate ideas on cur

The following passage on the subject
of bay occurs in Parkinson's Garden
of Flowers printed in 1929: 1.-The bay
leaves are of as necessary use as any
other in the garden or orchard, for they
serve both for pleasure and for profit;
both for ornament and for use, both
for honest civil uses and for physic, yea,
both for sick and for the sound, both
for the living and the dead, so that
from the cradle to the grave we have
still use of it, we have need of it,"
The bay leaf was also popular in
England in the seventeenth century as
a charm against thunder and lightning.
DeviI'':
Reach me the bays:
III tie a garland here about his head;
Twill keep my boy from lightning.
The charm against thunder was ac-
knowledged by the ancient Romans,
and Leigh, speaking of Tiberius Caesar,
said: He feared thunder exceedingly
and when aire or weather was anything
troubled, he ever carried chaplet or
wreath of laurel about his NECK, be-
cause that is never-as Pliriy reporteth
blasted with lightning"
Because of Apollo's experience, the
Greeks believed that the plant had the
divine power of publication and pro-
tection and for that reason it was set
before the doors of their houses. The
Romans shared in this belief and
placed it at the gates of the Caesars.
The silver laurel, with which the SEN
ate decorated Admiral Dewey, may be
more beautiful than the classic LEAF,
but it is not the bay of story, and to
the student of the subject the $500
wreath of silvery white is less effective
than it would have been had it's leaves
been dark green like those that have
decked the brows of heroes through the
ages.
The Waldorf-Astoria and Mr.. Boldt s
house, where Admiral Dewey made his
home while he was in New York, were
decorated with laurel Of the real color.
Some of 1t came from Europe, but the
greater part was the common, or cher
ry, laurel, which grows in many parts
of the United States.-New York Tri-
bune.

Say mister" remarked Mr. Brown,

didn't want my butter, you would have
told me that right away and not keep
me here and try to make fool of me-
why, what do you mean?" I said.
Didn't you see me speaking to my
wife and ask her if she wanted any
butter?"
"Ah, go on" replied the farmer I'm

me believe you keep your wife locked
up all day in that little box on the wall,

FACTS Misunderstood.
Controversy Between Gen. Funston
and chbishop Ireland

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 3.-Thomas
Campbell, late of the Thirteenth Min
nesota Regiment, says the controversy
between General Funston ani Arch
bishop Ireland regarding church desc
Grafton in the Philippines is basel OH a
misunderstanding Of the facts.
He says that he himself is a Catholic
and that there were a score or more
Catholics in his company, all of whom
had as many church relics as did their
Protestant comrades. The reason, he
says, is that the Filipincs themselves
had desecrated the churches before the
United States troops came. The build
ings were loopholed for small arms, and
used as storehouses and hospitals, SC
that the destruction of the buildings
became a strategic necessity. The par
aphernalia either had to be taken away,
or suffer destruction with the. building.

The firm does this on the theory that
Congress intended that at least two of
the six vessels should be constructed
on the Pacific Coast, and as the Union
Iron Works at San Francisco, the only
other bidder on the slope, bid for only
one of the ships. the Seattle firm feels
that if it reduces it's original bid TO
the same figure as that of the San
Francisco corporation, it should have
it considered on even terms. The prop
osition being irregular, it has been re-
ferred to the Board of Construction,
and the general opinion is that it can

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-The Cabinet
meeting to-day lasted two hours. Most
of the time was spent in the reading
and discussion of the preliminary re-
port of the Philippine Commission. The
report is considered very satisfactory,
and received the full approval of the
Cabinet.
There was some incidental discussion
of the status of our insular possessions
in relation to the postal union. The par
ticular point under discussion was that
involving the right under the law or
our soldiers in the Philippines to send
through the mails to friends in this
country souvenirs of little or no COM
mercial value. Under a strict con-
struction of the law articles of any
commercial value except books are pro-
hibited from being sent through the
mail. But the Government, realizing
that with the approach of the Christ
mas holidays the soldiers serving in
the Philippines undoubtedly will wish
to send home some mementoes of their
service, an earnest effort will be made
to overcome the difficulties presented
1t is probable that Secretary Gage will
-
meet the situation.
The subject of a civil Government for
Cuba also received considerable atten-
ton. The necessity for change in
the present military system, it is said,
becomes more and more apparent, and
the President is waiting only until an
entirely suitable person can be found
before taking action in that direction.
General Wood is said to be very favor
ably regarded in this connection, but
there are obstacles to his appointment
which at present are deemed unsur-
mountable. One of them is that there
are number of officers in Cuba who
rank General Wood, and his promo
tion over them is not deemed advisable.
The report coming from Canada TO
the effect that Sir Louis Davies
member of the Canadian Cabinet, who
recently returned from England, was
treated with scant courtesy by the GUS
toms officials at New York, was men
toned. The President sincerely regrets
that Sir Louis was put to any incon-
venience or suffered annoyance at the
hands of the customs inspectors, and it
is probable that the regrets of this
Government will be forwarded to him.
