PENDANT, 10 said Saoo National bank.
In his opening for the defense Lawyer
Haley said that he would show that what
ever Mr.. Bates and MIR. johnson did wa $
legil and was within bounds. They
denied intimidation or anything OF the
kind aud Mr.. johnson claimed that he
had good grounds for q Islander suit and
told Mr.. Sturgis so and rather than face
the music MIR. Sturgis settled. The trial
was a most interesting one and In its
course many things were brought out
which did not adu much In support Of
the claims of Mr.. Bates and Mr.. johnson.
When the arguments came to be made
Judge Wing had many sharp things to
say about the practices OF certain attor-
neys and characterized Messrs. Bates,
johnson and Haley as having been party
TO something which was not greatly to
their credit as professional men. Lawyer
Hales was also very acrimonious In his
arguments for the defencs and finally the
case was given to the jury.
AT 4.30 o'clock the jury returned YER
dict for plaintiff for si0s.g7 the full
amount claimed. 1t was charged In the
plaintiffs writ that Mr.. Haley, counsel
for the defendant la this suit and In
whose name the suit on the notes WAS
brought had charged the plaintiff s5 for
the writ when the law provided only for
a charge OF s. o. This was an over
charge OF $l.46 and In his charge to the
Jury Judge Savage indicated that the
plaintiff would be entitled TO recover this
amount whether tho panel found YER

REMOVAL OF SOLDIER DEAD

Disbursement of the Remains at San
tiago Now In representations
Cemetary.

Washington, March 6.-The transport
Roumania has reached Santiago from
San Juan with the bodies of $50 soldiers
who died in Porto Rico. The records OF
the war department show that about $50
are buried in the neighhorhood of San
tiago and the work of uncovering them
may take two or three weeks.
Most of the Americans sleeping in
graves at Santiago are regulars.
Quartermaster Ludington has the work
in hand and reports satisfactory progress
being made. The graves of the American
heroes were carefully marked at the time
of burial and the officers in Cuba and
Porto Rico had instructions to make it
possible to locate and identify the bodies.
The bodies will be forwarded to the
relatives if desired. The government also
offers to provide permanent burial places
with the 1900 other heroic dead in the
national cemetery at Arlington
In most cases the relatives have ac-
cepted the offer to have their dead laid
to rest with the army of patriots at Arl-
ington, and it is probable that nearly 100
of the bodies will be inferred in the ma
tional cemetery, within sight of the White
House.
No arrangements have yet been made
for ceremonies in connection with the
burial. but it is probable all military
honors will be paid the dead.

KANSAS BRUTE'S CONFESSION
MURDERED HIS WIFE AND FOUR
CHILDREN.
John Gilbert Admits That He Beat
Their Brains Out and Says He
Gould Not Help It.

Kansas City, March GA special to the
Star from Emporia, Kan, says: John
Gilbert, in the county Jail today, con-
fessed to brutally numbering his wife and
four children near Enterprise, Kan, last
Tuesday. Gilbert, for whom a reward
had been offered, was arrested here yes
terday. He feigned not to know of the
crime and today AT first slammed in
sanity. Finally, hard pressed by Sheriff
O'Connor, Gilbert confessed.
He said he was badly in debt. and had
been trying to leave Enterprise for long
time. He could not take his family, he
said. and offered his wife a divorce.
She kept nagging ME about the child
rem" said Gilbert. And throwing them
up to me. 1 told my wife if she would
give me so I'd leave and never bother
her any more. During the night l got
up and went out into the yard Coming
back l picked up the hammer and hit the
baby in the head My wife ran out into
the road and was going over to the neigh
Dor S. / ran after and caught her. She
said she'd come back if I'd behave, and
thought 1 would then. But when I got
in, why the baby was thrashing about
on the bed and when | saw it L could not
hold myself but hit my wife on the head
and pounded her until she could not move
and then took the children"
When asked why he did it, Gilbert said:
II don't know. 1t seemed like 1 just
couldn't help it. after seeing the baby
there on the bed"

COLOR PHOTOGRAPHY.
New and Simple Method Discovered
Ry Professor Wood.


Madison, w. s., March 6.-Professor
R. w. Wood of the university of Wis
consin, the originator of the electrical
thaw, has new method of photograph
ing in natural color.
Professor Wood reproduces the colors
by attraction, a method not hitherto
tried, and though at present the pro-
duction of the first finished picture is
somewhat tedious, duplicates can be
printed as easily as ordinary photo
graphs are made.
not only colorless but almost invisible
when viewed in ordinary lights, but
when placed in a viewing apparatus,
consisting of a convex lens, on a light
frame show the colors of nature with
great brilliancy. Professor Wood to-
day said:
The finished picture is simply a
diffraction grating of variable spacing
In other words. it is a transparent
film Of gelatine, with very fine parallel
and equidistant lines on it, about 1000
to the inch on the average. The colors
depend solely on the spacing between
the lines and are pure spectrum colors,
or mixtures of such, the necessity of
colored screens, or pigments used in all
other processes except that of Lippnlan
having been overcome. The pictures
can be projected on a screen by en-
ploying a suitable lantern or can be
viewed individually with a very simple
piece of apparatus, consisting of a
lens and perforated screen mounted on
a frame.
"A popularity of the process is that
there is no such thing as a negative in
it, Half a dozen pictures have been
printed one from another in succes SION
and all are positive and indistinguish-
able from each other

SCRAMBLE FOR APPOINTMENTS.
Selection of Volunteer Officers May
Be Indefinitely POSTPONED.

Washington, March 6.-Secretary AL
ger was fairly overrun today by con-
gressional callers, nearly every one of
whom had one of more candidates for
appointment in the regular or volun-
teer army, under the terms of the re-
organization act. 1t is a safe estimate
that rs per cent of the officers in the
present volunteer army are anxious to
remain in the service.
The secretary, in answer to a ques-
ton today, said that he had not yet
been able to make any selections for
appointment. There is some doubt
whether appointments of officers for the
volunteer branch of the service under
the new law will not have to be de-
ferred indefinitely, that is until such
volunteer regiments have been actually
recruited. As there is disposition at
present to get along without these vol
unteer soldiers as long as possible, the
chances of any appointments being
specially made in the officers grades
are not very bright.

LATEST THING IN COMBINES
STEEL TRUST AND sHIPBUILD-
ERs WILL UNITE.
Purpose Is to Give the Steel Com
pany Sure Market For Its Prod
ucts-More Interpretations.

Cleveland, O., March 6.-The latest thing
in the way OF combinations is a joining
of the Federal Steel company with the
shipbuilding interests of the great lakes
and the Atlantic seaboard. Already there
has been talk of a shipbuilding combina-
ton affecting the yards on the lakes. and
this is said to be preliminary to the larg-
er consolidation that is to come later.
The movement is said to have been pro-
NOTED by several big stockholders of the
Federal Steel company, who are the own
ers of the controlling interest of the Chi
cago Shipbuilding company with yards on
the Calumet river. The object of the
proposed consolidation is said to be to
give the Federal Steel company a market
for some of its most important products,
and enable it TO control the prices of man
ufacture from the iron mines to the ship
yard.
