A Remark able Defense.

Poughkeepsie. y. V, Oct. 21.-Oliver
Hustled and Mrs. Theron Sherow. the
couple who eloped from Schultzville
and were arrested near Holly. Mich.
were brought back to Poughkeepsie
last night. They set up most re-
markable defense to the charges of
grand larceny and kidnapping on which
they were arrested. Hustled says that
on Aug. 80. Sherow suggested an eN-
change of wives and that he and Mrs
Sherow left for Michigan taking Sher-
ow's 3-year-oid daughter with them.
He says that he heard Mrs. Sherow
ask her husband If he wished her to go
and he told her to go and stay. He
SAYS he gave the woman $40 dollars TO
pay to her husband. Hustled was sent
to iail while Mrs. Sherow was allowed
to go home with her husband out of
sympathy for the children. She says
that Hustled tells the truth.

Washington, Oct. 27.-In diplomatic
quarters there is felt to he some sig
nificance In the fact that France, Rus
sia and Japan. as well as the United
States. have not yet accepted the in
vitatfon TO accept the principles of the
Anglo-German alliance. 1t is under
stood that this non-action OF the pow
ers is not due to any concerted move

pears to be halting on the third clause.
A diplomatic official explains that on
mature consideration OF this third
clause II was seen to involve two con-
structions: first, that II any power took
territory In China as n result of the
present trouble. then Germany and
Great Britain also would take terri
tory, or second. that II any country
took territory In China, Germany and
Great Britain would seek TO prevent
this action. or otherwise Jointly act
against the country seeking to ex-
tend It's domains. Either construc-
tion. II Is pointed out, was such that
the powers not party to the agree |
ment could not be expected to bind |
themselves to Its acceptance. Under |
these circumstances II was said that |
the powers probably would seek to /
learn Rnssia's views on the third /

edly would remove the idea that there
Is any possible menace Intended But.
II IL recognized among diplomatic Off
cials that II would he extremely diff
cult to secure an expression from Rus

10 give. would amount to n declaration
that she had some territorial designs
Dn Manchurfa and n refusal to answer
would be similarly open to such con-
Itruction. The impression is growing
among the representatives Of these
powers that the present non-action will

third clause than either of these gov
ernments has given thus far.

crops alone the farmers received a to-

the producers of the United States
The live stock statement is equally
gratifying. Swine are not included in
