MRS. BONINE'S TRIAL
witnesses so Far Fail to Tell Who
Did Sensational MUIR
der.

Washington, Nov. 23.-Five Wit
nesses were heard yesterday in the
trial of Mrs. Lola Ida BOnine for the
murder of James $. Ayres, Jr. -Four
of these witnesses were police officers
who had gone to Ayres' room after dis
coyery of the body by employees of the
Kenmore hotel. and the fifth was W.
w. Warfield. who was proprietor of the
hotel at the time of the tragedy. The
policemen testified TO details of the
wounds. position of the body and ar
rangement of the furniture in the
room. Warfield's testimony was very
brief. In response to question by At
torney Fulton. of Mrs. Bonine's coun-
sci he said that Mrs. BOnine had made
arrangements TO leave the hotel before
the tragedy occurred, but both Ques-
tion and answer subsequently We're
ruled out.
1t is understood to be the intention
OF the defense TO recall Warfield later
for the purpose of eliciting information
from him upon this and other points
in Mrs. Bonine's behalf. Only once
during the day did Mrs. Bonine dis
play emotion. and that was when the
bloody undershirt which had been
worn by Ayres on the night of the
killing was identified by Officer Brady
The court adjourned until Monday.

today: Never before in the history of
the United States was there such great
reason for a day of national thanks

Cedented strides toward Il position of
international supremacy. not only in
commerce. but also i'm finance. To Il
marked degree business enterprises
have prove successful An idle wheel
in mills or factories is the exception,
while labor is so well employed at high
wages that cOnsumptive demands sus-
tain the market values of all the sta
pie commodities. Transporting facili-
ties have been unable to keep pace
with the nations requirements, many
complaining of tardy deliveries. which
alone act as Il brake on commercial
progress.

WAS A REAL THING
That KlOndike Conspiracy Not a
Matter Of Inaugura-
ton.

Toronto, Ont, Nov. 23.-1he follow
ing is official: About three weeks ago
the police at Dawson, under the direc-
ton of Superintendent Woods, shad-
owed a man whom they deemed q sus-
picious character. The police got into
this mans confidence and he finally
disclosed plot which he said had been
formed by people ut Skagway and Seat
tie. The idea was to rush the posts in
the lower part of the Yukon and then
take possession of the country.
News Of the plot was quickly sent
from Dawson to White Horse, and the
police there soon had under surveil-
lance all suspicious characters. The
headquarters of the conspiracy was To-
Gated at Skagway, and it WAS ascer-
tained who the characters associated
with 1t were and where the papers
bearing upon the plot were kept. Cana
dian officers went down to Skagway
and consulted with United States Off
GERS, and concerted action was agreed
upon in case of necessity. In the
meantime the parties connected with
the plot are closely watched.

dence of Jerry DOlye. Sr.. farmer in
the neighbOrhood. whose daughter
Maggie, his aifianced. he had just TAX
en- home from church. One of the
shots took effect in Ryan's shoulder.
Andrew Ryan, cousin of Thomas, was
suspectedof being the would-be assas-
sin. Andrew Ryan was found early

Colombia Wants Our Help.
Washington. Nov. 23.-The govern
ment has received Il communication
from the Colombian government set
ting forth that the Colombian govern
ment cannot guarantee protection to
the iSthmian railway. This cOmmuEl-
cation was an answer to the represen-
tations of Consul General Gudger, and
was purposely developed in order to
make perfectly plain the fact that the
United States was thoroughly justified
in landing its forces ut Colon. With
this formal acknowledgment from the
Colombian government of its inability
to maintain communication it becomes
