He testified that Emerton caused the
marks on his neck and face at the
time of the trouble in Giles store.
Didn't say he was glad he had killed
Emerton.
The respondent was then TUNED
over to States Attorney :'aigent,

cared to ask him any questions, and
prisoner was not cross-examined.
John Armstrong, Frank Foster.
Cuisine Rix, r. II. Osmer, Frank
FELTON,, Frank Kendall and +. H.
Sargent, followed the respondent,
their evidence being mainly us to
Emerton's disposition, habits, etc
and as to the marks on Bugbee's
face.
Foster saw Emerton on the day of
the tragedy at Lebanon; thought he
had been drinking a little. Rix said
he was inclined to be quarrelsome
and "vindicative," but to questions
of Mr. Sargent he replied he didn't
know exactly what the latter word
meant.
DR.. Goss was recalled and asked
about the size of the fish knives
Bugbee carried in the back of his
cart. They were large and sharp,
one wide blade and one narrow.
Some evidence in rebuttal Of de-
Tense was introduced to show that
Bugbee received his facial injuries
in falling from his cart after the
affray, and to prove that Emeiton
was not of quarrelsome DISPOSE
ton.
The evidence was all in Tuesday
morning and F. &. Southgate open
ing argument for the state, followed
by A. G. Cox for respondent.
The closing arguments began
Wednesday morning, Gilbert A.
Davis, respondents counsel, urging
that he be acquitted on the ground
of self-defense, or at most verdict
of manslaughter he returned.
States Attorney Sargent reviewed
the evidence at length. claiming that
it showed the respondent to be the
aggressor in the affray. He claimed
there was sufficient evidence of
malice and premeditation to warrant
a verdict Of murder in the first de-
gree.

Happened In New York.
NEW YORK, Oct Gus Rubin, the
big fighter, demonstrated two traits in
his makeup which are not generally con-
coded with a man of his profession.
They are honesty and will power. The
latter had to be done at the expense OF
embarrassment to two Engiishmen. Gus
entered Corbetts saloon on Wedne sday
to see him on some business. Two Eng
lish friends were drinking wine. The
Akronite was introduced and an invita-
ton to join them was made. Gus refus-
ed, but they persisted and filed a glass
for him. But it was still there when
he went out, despite the entreaty that
lone glass wouldn't hurt soy
What a bloomink in hospital chap" was
the Britisher's comment.
Then Gus strolIed down Sixth avenue
In front of him were two matinee girls.
One carried pocketbook in the same
hand she held her dress up with. From
it dropped fat wac of bills The cham
pionship seeker picked up and with all
politeness handed the young lady her
lost money. She was profuse in her
thanks and Gus blushed A crowd was
around, and among them was police
man. They opened their eyes in won
derment. An honest man on Sixth eve

CLARA BARTON, IN AN APPEAL FOR
AID FOR GALVESTON
SUFFERERS
ADDRESSED TO LUMBERMEN
Lumber Is First Need, Although
Money, Household Effects and
Other Articles Can
Re Used.

GALVESTON, Tex, Oct Miss Clara
Barton. president of the National Red
Cross society, has issued the following
statement TO the manufacturers and busi-
ness men of the country, in which she
appeals to them for aid in the way of
material to be used in the building Of
homes for those who lost their all in the
recent storm:
To the Manufacturers and Dealers in
Lumber, Hardware. Builders Materi-
ais and Household Goods, and to the
Business Men in General Of the United
Ste es-
Gentlemen: This unfortunate seaport
island and town had, four weeks ago, a
population of 10000 persons. IN one day
and night it is estimated that approx
mately 10000 of these were either drowned
or killed by the fury of the storm.
These buildings were largely slate or
metal rooted; this broken. rock and metal
must have been hurled through the air
like cannon shot. The bodies found are
badly mangled.
We believe it is reliably stated that
there is not one house in the area of the
storm unchanged by it. A large proper
ton of those persons formerly occupying
Them are entirely without homes, or even
shelter, save such as persons nearly as
destitute as themselves can offer them
temporarily, to their own great inconven-
fence and cost.

TACTICS SHOW A GAIN
FILIPINOS ARE LEARNING FROM
UNCLE SANS SOLDIERS.

MANILA, Oct. -Four troops of cav
airy and two troops of infantry have
recently reinforced Gen Young in North
Luzon, where the insurgents are con-
centrating in the mountains of North
and South Ilocos province under the
leadership of Aglipaya, the ex-communi-
Gated priest and renegade.
Gen. Tino and Gen. Villaneuve, who
had been quiet for some time, a,,e now
showing signs of becoming active, as the
end of the rainy season approaches.
Of late there has been considerable
scouting and skirmishing in the provinces
Of Abra and North nocos, though with
out decisive results. 1t is obvious. how
ever, that the maneuvers of the F'iIipinos
are more skillful than formerly, and that
the field tactics of the Americans are
being followed by them.
Senior Mabini, the virtual founder of the
so-called Filipino government, who was
captured by the Americans last Decem-
Der and lodged in jail in Manila, has been
liberated. As he had always persistently
refused to take the oath of allegiance to
the United Safes government, he had
maintained his reputation among the Fill
pinos as a reselute patriot They now
believe that he has reached private I'M
derstanding with the American authori
ties which has secured his release. and
consequently he has lost some of his pop
ularity. although he IS still considered the
leader of the dormant revolutionary eIe-
ment
This week the commission viii begin
the work of revising the tariff making use
of the results of the investigation of
the army board IN this direction. 1t is
the intention of the commission to give
American trade better chance than Il
has heretofore owing to the high duties.
The transports Sumner and Venus have
sailed for the island of Martinique. off
the west coast of Luzon, carrying two
battalions The former has already ar
rived there. The transport Logan will

convention would be held This and other
questions to be considered at the conven-

Indications are coming to the surface
that hasty action will not likely be reach

BROKE TWO WORLDS RECORDS.
But Fitzsimmons and Joe Ixinpe Did
Not Go On.

NEW YORK, Oct. I. New worlds
records for putting the twelve and six
teen-pound shots were made by Dennis
Horgan at the benefit games held today
under the auspices of the Pastime Ath-
letic club at its grounds. Morgan put
the underground shot IS feet 915 inches,
or nine and one-half inches further than
any other athlete in the world had ever
done before. In putting the sixteen
pound shot Horgan added half an inch
to his own worlds record of 4S feet 2
inches.
Both records We're made in exhibition,
and not in competitive trials, but as they
were properly measured by Amateur
Athletic union officials they will stand as
the best for the two events named.
Several boxing exhibitions were sched-
uled between well known amateur and
professional pugilists. Bob Fitzsim-
mons was to have boxed three rounds
with Joe Knipe, the amateur heavy
weight champion. The principals were
ready and willing to go on, but the po-
lice refused to allow the bouts and they
did not go on.
