TRIAL OF R. S. FOSBURCH
FOR MURDER OF HIS SISTER AT
AT PITTSFIELD, MASS.
State Produces Testimony That VIII
Prove Damaging In the Extreme
to the Cause of the
Defendant.

PITTSBURG, Mass, July 19.-The Fos-
burgh manslaughter trial dragged along
slowly today. The government won
decided victory over the defense when
Judge Stevens announced that he would
permit the Offering of evidence as to the
result of tests made by experts to show
the distance at which marks of powder
from a revolver would be deposited on
cloth, provided 1t was clearly proven by
the government that the revolver and the
cartridges used in the test were similar
in every respect to the ones with which
it was argued the fatal shot was fired.
The first bit of testimony of a sensa-
tional nature was the statement Of Dr.
Paddock, the medical examiner, TO the
effect that little Beatrice Fosburgh, who
would be the government witness, told
him that she had seen no burglars at all.
although she was behind her sister, May.
when the latter fell. Another feature vas
the emphatic statement of Dr Draper, the
gun expert, to the effect that the shot
which ended the life of May Fosbdrgh
was held not more than eight inches
from her breast.
There were a number of witnesses for
the government who testified today. but
the one from whom most was expected
by those not connected with the Gaze, CT ief
Of Police Nichols, said but a few words,
and those were in explanation of tes.i-
mony of a previous witness. He will be
called again. John p Connor a detective.
proved disappointment. because he ex-
planned he had been working on the case
solely from the point Of view that the
crime had been committed by burglars.
and he did not connect the defendant
with it in any way.
Testimony was given by local hard
ware dealer with reference to the revol-
yer, which was sold to the defendant, and
of a Boston gun salesman, with regard
to the carrying power of revolvers. The
court adjourned over Saturday until Mon
day morning and District Attorney Hay
wood stated afterwards that he expected
to rest his case Monday night.

Kansas Farmers Are Flowing Their
Corn Fields Under, and Nebras-
11a Corn Is Now En-
dangered.

Topeka, Kan, July 19.-This has been
an exceedingly hot day in Kansas. All
the. good effect of the local showers of
, the past week has been lost. The mer-
curry mas ranged from los to 109 The
air has resumed it's former dryness, and
as a result the heat was not so oppres-
| siVe.
While the feeling of utter helplessness
attendant upon the drought has passed,
, the people of the state do. not attempt
to deny that the fail crops are in a des-
perate condition.
Farmers are beginning. to plow the
early ruined corn fields and SOW them
in wheat and alfalfa to make pasture for
the stock in the fall and winter. But
the ground is so hard and dry as to make
ploughing practically impossible. Unless
rain shall come soon, farmers will not
be able to plow for regular fall wheat
sowing
The Kansas river running through To-
peka is so dry that the green grass is
growing in the center of the river bed
and the stream can be walked across
in some places. Most of the streams Of
the state, except the larger ones, have
gone dry, and there is. a poor prospect
for stock water.
OMAHA, Neb., July fd9-The mercury
in Omaha today mounted to SO and sew
eral degrees higher at some points in
the state. There were rains last night
in three counties, but they did not cover
great area of corn growing country.
The condition of that crop is beginning to
alarm the farmers of a considerable por-
tion of the state, and unless general rains
shall come soon, the damage will neces-
sarily great. The rainfall of the past
week has in nowise been general, but
where it has occurred the melting heat
mas been reduced.
LINCOLN, Neb., uly'19-The tempera-
ture mounted to 101 in Lincoln again to-
day. No rain fell anywhere in the state
today. Grainmen place the damage to
the corn crop thus far at 80 per cent and
say that each continual day of drought
adds 5 per cent to the damage The Platte
river is very low and4in places entirely
dry, and fish have taken refuge in the
shallow pools, where they are scooped out
with ordinary shoVels. The state fish
commissioner will start out with the fish
car tomorrow and transfer as many fish
as is possible to other rivers.
DULUTH, Mimi, July 19-The hot wave
has the head of the lakes in its grasp
again today, and between the hours of
10 a. m. and 1 p. m, the temperature sh Ut
up 80 degrees. 1t registered 62 at 10 and

BURLINGToN, Iowa, July 19.-The

HOUSTON, Tex, July 19-Heavy rains
are reported from many parts of Texas
last night, today. and tonight. While the
rain is not general nearly all sections
have been reached. The reports from
Denton, Fort Worth and Vernon, in
Northern Texas. say that the down pour
covered a wide area in the vicinity Of
those towns.

DICKINSON WARNS BULGARIA..
Efforts to Save Miss stone Musf No
he Hampered.

A dispatch from Sofia. Bulgaria yester-
day says: Consul General Dickinson OF Con-
stantinople has supplemented his verbal
representations to the Bulgarian govern
ment by note today. in which he recapit-
ulates the history Of the. abduction by
brigands Of Miss Ellen NJ. Stone and her
companion, Nine. Tsilka. and the steps
taken to obtain her release. and reminds
the foreign minister of his promise to give
every assistance. He cites instances where
the attitude of subordinate officials has not
conformed with this assurance. Finally.
Mr.. Dickinson repeats his demand for the
non-interference of the government in the
negotiations. s
Mr.. Dickinson quotes from Miss Stones
letters saying that the chief danger TO
which she is exposed is flight from hiding
places by night, owing to the approach OF
troops. He declares that the people of the
United States will hold the Bulgarian gov
ernment morally and legally responsible
for the lives of the captfves. should the
bandits, exasperated by pursuit, slay them.
The governments reply, according to the
opinion expressed In Official circles Will set
forth that while hesftating to establish the
precedent that the government gives pro-
lection to brigands In treating for the ran
som of captives. IA the present case. In
volring the safety of two ladies. the gov
ernment, as an act of courtesy and hui
manity. will comply with Mr.. Dickfnson's
request
A private agent who was employed to
visit Doubaritza reports that the members
of the secret committee We're discussing
the lowest terms OF ransom that would be
acceptable.
One member of the committee informed
the correspondent of the Associated Press
here that he had been invited to join the
band and TO take part in the kidnapping.
but that he refusel and deprecated an at
tack upon ineffensire women, pointing out
that such action was calculated to cost the
committee more In sympathy and support
than the value OF twenty ransoms.
This view seems 10 be dawning gradually,
even in Bulgarian circles. where kidnapping

UNDERTAKERS.
TREATING AND GuFT-GryING.
Hospitality and Generosity Carried Z
Excess nt TutuilIa

While Captain Benjamin F. Titiey. COM
mandant of the United States naval sta
ton at Tutuila. Samoa, was in Washington
recently he submitted to Secretary Long
his annual report upon affairs and condi-
tions in that island possession.
Captain Tilley says that the Tutuilians
are a gentle. kind. simple minded people
and that the form of government instituted
by the United States has proved very pop
ular with them. He recounts the numer-
Gus improvements in the system Of self
government, which have been suggested to
the people. and eagerly agreed to by them
Two of the conditions which needed reform
are noteworthy.
Every once and while" says Captain
Tiiley, "a whole village would make up
it's mind to go on a 'melanga' or visiting
party, All work would be abruptly stopped
and all ages and sexes would start out on a
wandering holiday. The spirit of hospital
~fty is cultivated to an extreme degree
among the natives, and at every village yis-
tied by the royers the hosts felt IL their
bounden duty to entertain lavishly. The
visiting party would stay at one village
Just as long as their entertainers could
provide food for them. When supplies ran
out they bade hasty adieus and moved IN
to the next village to be entertained
There was never time that 'melanga'
was not in progress somewhere in the
island"
Another custom was the bestowing of
presents of great value at weddings and
on other occasions which was carried to
such excess that a single wedding often i'm
poverished a whole village. Both these
practices Were stopped upon the sugges-
tion of Captain TilIey by the natives them
selves.
Summing up the work of the year in Tu-
tuila, Captain Tilley says that an organized
and successful government has been estai-
iished which keeps the people quiet ana
happy, and is helping them materially In
their journey along the pathway toward
complete civilization

ing from the uncertain soil. Water in
abundance falls in the Eastern half of
the United States to insure bumper crops
every year, but it is distributed unevenly
as to time. SO perfect, however. is the
drainage system provided by that same
nature that with a little help on the part
of the government, the inequalities of
rainfall can be overcome and the farmer
made absolute master of his surround
ings. Complete and absolute prosperity
for the tiller of the soil will never come
until he can turn on the rain with
shovel when his crops require it. We do
not believe this would be interfering with
the divine arrangement Of things-we do
not believe it is showing a lack of faith
in the Ruler of the Universe to attempt
to improve on his method of water-distri-
button. The sprinkling process of the
rain storm is great institution. but it
proved upon. Rain often comes when 1T
is not wanted and oftener comes not when
it is wanted. A reservoir of water al
way ready to be used, is like a bank ac-
