 Charge of Forgery.

Parkersburg, w. Va. July 10.-On this, the third day of the trial of Ellis Glenn, charged with forgery only two witnesses were examined. Every legal point is be- ing bitterly fought and it may take weeks to try the case as there are over one hundred witnesses to be examined. Judge Stapleton made d ruling this morn ing that Ellis will have to sit during the remainder of the trial with her hat and veil yemoved from her head and face. This pleased the crowded court room as they have been desirous of seeing her.
 The first witness today was c. w. May hew of Parkersburg, who stated that Bert Glenn worked for him for a year in a meat shop In NWilliamstown, the scene of the alleged forgery. He testified that he believed Ellis and Bert Glenn were one and the same person. He said he had known her many years when she ap- peared as a man and nowt that she was dressing as a woman he stillxwas positive Ellis was Bert The defenseN asked him to swear to it, but he refused
 George A. Hoover of WilliaApstown gave practically the same testimorfy. al- though Glenn did not work for him, he had had dealings with Bert on many ocA casons. He said that he believed the prisoner was the same person but would not swear to it.

 Mrs. Martha Patterson the last of the children of ex-President Andrew Johnson, died this morning at 4:15 o'clock. pr. E. E. Smith, the physician who attended her, states that the immediate cause of her death was dysentery complicated with chronic diseases.

NEGRO RACE INCREASING.
The Last Census Shows the Ratio To
 Be Almost Equal to Whites.

New York. July 10.-A special to the Herald from Washington says:
 Predictions based on the census of 1890 that the negro population of the United States would gradually decrease in proportion to the total population are not borne out by the statistics of the present census.
 ''The negro population in the United States in 1880 was 11.9S per cent. of the total. a decrease from 1912 per cent. in 1880. This year the percentage will be somewhat less than Il, though until the compilation of statistics has been more nearly completed 1t will be impossible to give exact figures.
 Tn sonse of the Southern States the negro poprl4a ton is increasing faster in proportion than the whites. In the border States there seems to be a little falling off and in the Northern States, to which the tide of European immigration flows strongest, the white population is increas- ing more rapidly, though this does not hold good in some special localities, such as cities in which negro servants, especial ly in hotels, are rapidly displacing white men and women"

 THE INDEMNITY
Minister Leishman Effects a Set tIement and Uncle Sam Gets
 a Good Size Check

Washington, July 10.-The State De- partment has received the amount of the American indemnity claim against Tur- key $s0,00o, through the American Lega- ton at Constantinople.
 The money which was paid by the Turkish government to MT. Leishman, our Minister at Constantinople, was by him placed in the Ottoman Imperial bank and drafts remtted for the amount. Those drafts have just reached Wash ington.
 As is always the case, the claims in the aggregate considerably exceed the amount of the indemnity actually paid, but our government has expressed itself satisfied with the payment. It assumes full responsibility for the distribution. The Turkish government paid down lump sum of $y5,00 and leaving 1t to the State Department to distribute this among the claimants at it's discretion af- ter Its own fashion.
 It is stated that as soon as the de- partment officials can prepare their list they will communicate directly with the claimants
