STATE RESTS
Defense in Ellis Glenn Trial Begin
the Presentation Of Their
Side Of Case.

Parkersburg, July 1S-The state
rested its side of the Ellis Glenn case
at noon today, but reserved the right
to recall any witness it might deem
necessary. All the witnesses for the
state stated that Ellis or Bert Glenn
had a scar on the head and hand.
The defense put two witnesses on
the stand this afternoon both of whom
testified they had made a personal
examination of Ellis Glenn's head and
hand and that there was no scar in
either place and no evidence that
there have been any. This was one
of the states strongest points in the
Identification of the prisoner and the
defense found conclusively that the
prisoner was free from the scars men,
toned.

TIME NOT YET RIPE
Civil Government Failure in
Three of Philippine
Provinces.

Manila, July 1S-The United States
civil commission announced today
that after a three months trial of a
provincial form of government in the
islands of Cebu and Bohol and the
provinces of Batangas, Luzon, control
of the districts, owing to their incom-
plete pacification, has been returned
to the military authorities, it having
been proved that the communities in
dicated are backward and undeserv-
ing of civil administration. The pro-
vincial and civil officials of the prov
inces designated will continue their
functions, but are now under the au-
thority Of General Chaffee, instead of
that of Civil Governor Taft, as here
tofore. General Chaffee has the power
arbitrarily to remove from Office any
civil official, in any section by the
laws promulgamated in these three
provinces.
The residents of the island of Cebu
have protested, but without success
against the return Of that island to
military control. Several towns in
Cebu are still besieged by the insur-
gents. The insurrection in the is
land of Bohol has been renewed and
insurgent sentiment in the province
of Batangas is strong.
General. Chaffee has ordered a bat
TALON Of the Thirtieth infantry to
begin the occupation Of the island Of
Mindoro. The province OF Batangas
will be occupied by the entire Twen-
tieth infantry.

REMARKABLE SCORE MADE BY
ADoLPH sTRECKER.
BEATS ALL KNOWN RECORDS
San Francisco's Crack Shot Again
Demonstrates His Ability
as Marksman.

San Francisco, July 1S-Adolph
Strecker, barber of this city, at to-
days shooting of the Third National
Bundles festival, completed a score
which has never been equaled in the
United States on the ring target and
which will doubtless give Strecker
king prize. Out of 200 shots he
has made a record of 1876 points.
breaking the highest score of King
Hays, made three years ago, by %
points.
F. G. Ross, the first bundles king
made 371, six years ago..
Strecker is among the most noted
marksmen in the country. His record
score is 452 on 25 ring target. In
1874 he was crowned king" of Amer
lean rifle shots at Baltimore and two
years later he was one of the team
of Californians that took first rank
and honor in the Centennial contest
at Philadelphia.
The highest scores made today
were: On king targets-Jacob E.
Grueller, Sacramento, 341; D. B. Fax
ton, San Francisco. 321.
On the honorary target. H. Dean,
Colorado, So; L. Rogers, San Fran
cisco, 65
On the ring target Emil Berg,

Adolph Rosenthal, German consul,
together with the consular corps,
were guests Of the bund today. The
Colorado delegation was entertained
at luncheon by the president of the
bund, F. M. Kuh1es.

THEIR GUILT is DOUBTFUL.
Negroes Under Arrest for Assault
May Be innocent.

negroes OnoeF Attest TOT assault
May Be innocent.
Kansas City, July 18-Had the mob
which gathered around the county
jail last Friday night, clamoring for
the lives of Joseph Robinson and
Bull Holland, negroes suspected Of
assaulting Vernon Newton and Grace
Davis, accomplished it's desire, it is
probable that great wrong would
have been done.
From evidence produced at the pre-
liminary hearing, it appears doubtful
that the three negroes now under
suspicion are the guilty persons, and
it seems possible that the assault on
young Newton was committed by
three white men and not by negroes.
This has not been thoroughly estab-
lished, but sunicient evidence was
brought out to cast doubt as to the
color of the assailants.

here from Pittsburg to give courage
to the striking mill men.
The Amalgamated officials Trus-
tee John Morgan, Vice President John
Chappe1le and President Shaffer were
almost smothered by the crowd which
greeted them here. A procession Of
several thousand people followed
them to the city hall where public
meeting was held at which Shaffer
was the principal speaker.
y The address of President Shaffer
was listened to with deep interest
He said in part, after advising
against violence:
81 want the people Of Wellsville
now to konw what this sight is and
just who are our opponents. Just be-
fore the last conference we had with
the operators in Pittsburg, National
Trustee John Morgan, who is here to-
day and will bear me out, was called
with me into private conference
with those representing the United
States Steel corporation and we were
plainly told that we did not under
stand the magnitude of the work we
were about to undertake. We were
told the United States Steel corpora
tion had reserve fighting fund of
$2OO,OOO,000 or as 1t was put, re-
serve to bolster up the stocks of that
corporation should there be trouble
with workers:
'This was no idle boast it now
seems, for last week stocks of the
steel corporation went down and now
they have shot up again, showing the
world that at least part Of the $780,
100000 has Deen put into circulation
to uphold the stock"
