RAGT!ME IN PERSIA.

Persian Minister Orders Big Graphic

n of the largest and probably the
most costly graphophone eve manu-
featured. The Persian minister is plan
ming his present as a surprise, says the
New York World. The 100 records
which will accompany the graphic
phone cost alone $1,000. The instru-
ment cost $1,000.
The shah of Persia is especially fond
of Italian opera selections, and to graf
ify his taste music of this class pre-
dominates in the records. He has new
er heard ragtime, however. and therein
lies a treat for him, the Persian minis
ter believes.
A dozen of the liveliest and most
popular "coon" songs are included in
the repertory. The Persian ballet
which dances before the shah may
soon be picking out steps to brush
By, Coon, Brush By "When You
Amt Got No Money, You Needn't
Come Around" and ""Those Googoo
Eyes"
The graphophone is a multiplex
grand as high as a Pullman palace car
and as square as a car is wide. The
case is Of selected wood artistically
arved It has three horns, and the
records are 21a times as large as the
records on the regular size instru-
ments. The volume of sound is equal
to that of a high class organ.
It will be sent in parts to be set up in
the shah's palace after the end of it's
long journey.

A reporter of the New York Sun Wis,
tied the Glasgow exhibition recently
and found that it was well advanced
although the opening is not to take
place until May 2. It was especially
gratifying to see that America, though
unofficially represented, promises tc

Providence and Syracuse and many
other manufacturing firms are repre-
sented. Two companies have theil
own buildings on the grounds.
Another feature is the bold effort OF
Russia through her finance minister

world to her ~immeasurabie supply OF
raw produce. The United States has
three great buildings devoted respec
lively to agriculture, forestry and min

THE BooZ INVESTIGATION
A Cadet Opens His Mouth and Puts
His Foot In 1t.


WEST POINT, n. Y, Jan. 17.-When
the congressional committee on hazing
at the United States Military academy
resumed its session here today, Cadet
James Prentice of New York was called
to the witness stand. Before swearina q
him, Congressman Wanger handed him
a copy of the record Of the military
court of inquiry and asked him to read
the report of the testimony which he
gave at the military investigation. AZ
ter he read it over, Prentice was sworn
and said that with the exception of a
few typographical errors the report was
correct.
Prentice is the cadet who is respon-
slble for the report that former Cadet
Booz had secreted a novel inside of a
bible and was reading it, while to all
appearances he was reading the Bible
General Dick questioned the witness
closely in reference to this report. Wit
ness said the book was a paper covered
French novel, but later on the general
made him admit that he could not
swear positively that it was. He also
had to acknowledge that it might have
possibly been lesson leaf or a supple.
ment TO the Bible.
Witness said he told this to Mr.. Bur
nett, president of the cadet branch of
the Young Mems Christian association.
but that Prentice had kept the incident
to himself for over two years.
"What brought up the recollection of
the episode?"
1--WE were all reading about Booz's
charges in the Philadelphia newspa-
pers?"
"What charges?"
''He had stated that he was killed bv
the hazing he received in this academy, :"
replied the witness, who evidently did
not see the "bull" he had made.

THEY WILL SOON
KNOW THEIR FATE.
Trial of Alleged Murderers of
Jennie Bosschieter
EXPECTED TO END TODAY

The Accused Men More Hopeful Than
at Any Time Since Their Arrest.
States Attorney Makes the Opening
Argument For the Prosecution.
PATERSON, N. j., Jan. 17.-There was
a large crowd gathered around the
courthouse today, eagerly awaiting the
close of the trial of Walter McAllister,
William Death and Charles Campbell
for the murder of Jennie Bosschieter, q
young silk mill employe. 1t is gener-
ally believed that a verdict will be
reached by the jury before evening.
The accused men were apparently
more hopeful this morning than they
have been at any time since the trial be-
gun. Before they were taken from the
Jail to the courtroom they talked to-
gether and seemed to entertain the be-
lief that their testimony of yesterday
had had a favorable effect on the jury,
and that tonight, or tomorrow at the
latest, would see them once more at lib
erty.
AS soon as court opened, Assistant
Prosecutor Ralph Shaw arose and be-
gan mis- address to the jury. He said
that killing that occurred in the per-
petration of felony constituted murder
in the first degree.
1--WE have learned" he continued,
"that Jennie Bosschieter was not quite
Is years old. She is entitled to the pre-
sumption that she was virtuous, hon
est and upright girl. There is no evil
dence to the contrary Her physical
q ho hos
been able to take two or three drinks
without bad effect.
The prosecutor then proceeded with
brief survey of the incidents of the even
ing and night of October l8 as they were
brought out by the witnesses for the
state.
In conclusion, Mr.. Shaw said:
''All the defendants are equally gull
ty as principals in this crime. The sto-
ries told by the defendants on the wit
ness stand proved a miserable failure as
a defense. Such defense is worthy of
no consideration. Their story is to be
weighed by what they had said before,
no matter under what circumstances
they told it. With these facts present.
ed, the state is compelled to ask you,
putting aside all sympathy, but in the
name of justice, for verdict of murder
in the first degree.
Judge Francis Scott then begun the
closing argument for the defense He
asserted that the case of the state was
not supported by legal proof, and that
the state was charging an impossible
crime. He alluded to the general una
nimity with which the community had
accepted as true the published statements
that the death of Jennie Bosscheiter
had been brought about through the at
tempt of the accused to commit a felony
and of the difficulty of the jurors di-
