DISTRICT COURT
The wilson Murder Case Will Be
 Tried Today.

"A jury after being cut more than twenty-four hours in the case of Jay Lambert, charged with assault upon William Spaulding with intent to com init murder, late last night returned a verdict of not guilty. The only un- usual incident attending this case was the presence of the defendants wife, ever praying that he might be con victed.
 G. A. Snyder was tried for passing a forged check and was convicted Snyder is a prospectcr. About a year ago he gave Charles Salari a check for S160, receiving S75. The check was signed by John Young, who, Shy der said, is not now in the country The jury evidently shared prevalent belief that thera is no such person as John Young
 The case against Barney Riley, in dicted for an indecent assault upon little girl, was nolle pressed. There was hardly a chance of convicting him and. in fact, the evidence to which both sides agreed was rather in his favor. Judge Street in accepting the nolle prosse, said he was constrained in part to do so by the fact that a con- siderable part of tha testimony would have to come through tho mouths of children.
 John Hawk, indicted for robbery, will be tried this morning. Following this case there comes the cause celebre of the term, the trial of Henry Wilson. the Wickenburg constable, for the murder of Ja-Les Davenport.

THE SHORTEST ROUTE
Hay Easily Be fhe Lonaesf Way
 Around

If you were going to sail from San Diego to Manila. and had plenty Of coal and water so that you would not have to stop, and wanted to take the shortest and most direct route, in what direction would you sail?' This question was propounded < to several persons yesterday by /Thomas D. Moiloy, and all naturally answered incorrectly: Straight southwest" This seems reasonable. since Manila lies west of San Diego and nearly twenty degrees south. It is true also that all vessels sailing from the Pacific coast to Manila. stop al the Hawaiian islands, which are al most, but not quite, on an apparently direct line.
 But as a matter Of fact. the so-callsd direct line is not by any means the shortest line and if one were going from San Diego to Manila So as to cover the least number of miles, he would first sail northwest.
 A geographical. but unexpected fact is shown by means of a string and an ordinary globe. Draw a string tight ly between San Diego and Manila. and then without moving the ends Of the string move it's middle ncrth, and it is no longer taut Still holding t-.e ends at San Diego and Manila and de- scribing an arc of circle with tce string one finds that it cuts the Aleutian islands and barely misses the southern extremity of Kamstchatka. So one in travelling over the apparently straight course between San Diego and Manila travels as far a5 if he should go around by Alaska, cross over almost within sight e frozen Russia in Asia and a--irt along the northern and western coasts of Japan.
 There is no such thing as a straight line on the earth's surface The near est approach to a straight line is one whose curvature is the least and such lines lie on the so-called great circles, whose center is the center of the earth, such as the meridians and the equator. The least number of miles, therefore. between San Diego and Manila is in the arc of great circle joining those two points Such an are would extend north about as far as San Francisco.
 In travelling directly south one would go in an apparently direct course, because there is no shcrt2r line than a meridian. So one travCl- ing between two points on the equs ). would go directly east or west because any other direction would be rund about.

of the Standard at The Hague says:
The proposal of Mr.. Hollis, of the Ameri-

been postponed for the present; but
there is no doubt it will eventually be
approved. In the whole arbitration
matter the United States has scored q
signal success, most Of the ideas of the
American delegates having been
adopted. Their representations in Ber-
lin secured Germany's assent. The full
conference will deal with the American
proposals as to private property at sea,
all opposition based on the question of
competence being abandoned. Most
probably, however, it will be adjourned
to q future conference.
