simple but homely offerings of the first
garden flowers that bloom in the spring
time Above some rose costly monu-
ments. Only simple slabs told the names
of others who slept beneath. Some lost
their lives in the blood-red storm of Civil
War; a tear was dropped over the grave
OF another no less a patriot who gave
his young life to his country at Cardenas.
Some names are unknown; others are
household words in our State, garlanded
with wreaths which crown the victors in
peace and in war. Over all these the
blessed calm of a typical Easter Sunday
rested with its hope and promise The
mother weeping over the grave of her
babe looked up through her tears with
faith to the promised reunion. Husbands
and wives, bereft of the partners of their
joys and sorrows, with eyes suffused from
the flood gates of memory at the tomb Of
buried loves, were enabled this glad day
of hope to anticipate resurrection morn.
One sad thought was suggested to me
which the bright sunshine, and the pro-
fusion Of flowers, and the hope of bud
ding trees could not dispel. | saw no
flowers on graves twenty-five years old
The highest banks of floral tributes arc
on new made mounds. The mourners
stand by the freshly turned clods The
cares of life, the mad struggle for place
and power, gradually efface the memory
of the dead. A quarter of a century US
ually suffces to heal the wounds of the
mourner or to place him by the side of
the one mourned. 1t is sad, man, to
think that so soon we shall be forgotten,
and yet the world move on in its accus-
toned channels!
But the shadows lengthen, the mourners
take their departure, the birds sing an
Easter anthem, in the tall oaks, the
theme of which might be interpreted,
Live forever, 0 man, in good deeds, in
works of love and living truth, written
on the hearts and lives Of others; there
is no death" Under this inspiration
made my way buoyantly from the city of
the dead to the city of the living.

BERLIN EDITORS
ARE BEING TRIED
Are Accused Of Insulting
Major General Won
Ketteler.

BERLIN, Dec. 2-Trial was begun to-
day in the Berlin Criminal Court of three
members of the editorial staff of Vor-
waerts, the Socialist paper They are
charged with insulting Major General Won
Ketteler by the publication of the So
called Hun letters which accused Gen.
eral Won Ketteler and his column of sum-
mary and barbarouS treatment of the
Boxers during the Chinese expedition, es-
pecially of shooting twenty-five Boxers
al Yachiao.
General Won Ketteler maintained that
these twenty-five men were shot in pur-
suance of a sentence of court-martial for
the massacre of 200 Christians.
Lieutenant Stolzenberger testified that
the inhabitants of this village were driven
together in the market place, where two
Chinese Christians picked out Boxers
whom they accused of participating in
the massacre in question.
An English missionary named Lawry
then examined the men accused by the
two converts and selected twenty-five of
their number as surely being Boxers.
These men were executed at General Won
Ketteler's orders.
The general told the court that these
executions were necessary in order to
break UP the reign of terror established
by the Boxers throughout the whole dis
trict.
Two of the prisoners, named Schmidt
and Jon, were convicted of the charges
against them and sentenced to six and
seven months Imprisonment, respective

ENGAGED YOUNG
COUPLE MISSING
Strange Disappearance
Puzzles People Of
Bakersfield.

BAKERSFIELD, Dec. Belle Kline,
10 years old, and William Martin, who
has just reached his majority, have dis
appeared from their homes in this city.
Up to a week ago Martin was in the en-
ploy of the local telephone company as
a lineman and Miss Kline had been in
the employ of the same company as an
operator. They were engaged to be mar
ried and no objections were raised on the
part of the parents of either.
On the Afternoon of November q the
couple started out for walk. Since that
time they have not been seen. They
were attired in their everyday" clothes
and nothing of value belonging to them
has been missed. The authorities, who
have been notified of their disappearance,
hint at an elopement, but the parents or
the young lady do not agree to this the
ory AS grounds for their contradiction
they say that there was no reason for an
elopement, as the young pair had been
told that they were welcome to marry
when and where they pleased. Further
than this. it is said Martin was not finan-
cially in position to marry, and because
of this would not have been able to pay
the expense which would be attached to
a runaway marriage.
The officers do not fear for the safety
of the missing couple, but the parents of
the young woman say that this hopeful
view does not allay their anxiety. It is
known that they are of the opinion that
a tragedy has been committed, but how
or when is a perplexing addition to what
has already proved a mystery.
Descriptions of the missing couple have
been sent by Sheriff Borgwardt through
out the country and deputies have made
a thorough search of this and Kern City.
A statement which would tend to
strengthen the opinion that Miss KLINE
and Martin have eloped was made to-day
by Charles P. Fox Of this city, who but
recently returned from Los Angeles. He
says that Mrs. Fox noticed on the streets
of Los Angeles a few days ago a young
lady whom she supposed at the time was
Miss KLINE. Not having heard of her
tention was paid to her and the incident
was forgotten until it was recalled to-day
by the publication of the story in this
city.

MORE ABOUT MAX
kERSHOW' WILL
McAllister Says Kowal-
sky Showed Him a
Document.
Gives His Reason for Refus-
ing to Serve as Executor
of the Estate.

The trial of the Kershow will contest
case was resumed yesterday in Depart
ment of the Superior Court. Alice
Kennedy, Kershow's nurse, was on the
witness stand all morning. She testified
that she never saw Morgan Smith do
any writing at Tortoni's, but that she
saw him frequently at the Maison RiclIc
take a sheet of paper and do a little
scribbling." On these occasions, SAID
the witness, he always remarked that he
was writing to friend.
Rhea GettingS was recalled by Attorney
but did not go to live with him until 1900
She left him, she said, in February or
March of this year.
Hall McAlIister, who was named as ex-
ecutor in the disputed will, testified that
he saw KerShOW only twice before he
died. and then only for a few minutes.
McAllister said the first time he saw the
document purporting to be the last will
of Kershow was in the courtyard of the
Palace Hotel, when it was shown to him
by Attorney Kowalsky. McAllister also
said that the reason he resigned the office
of executor was because he was going to
leave the State.
DR.. Henry L. Wagner, who attended
Kershow in his last illness, was placed
on the stand. DR.. Wagner said the first
time he met Kershow was in 1899, when
he was called to attend him for sickness
due to overindulgence in intoxfcantS. In
April, 1901, the month in which the al
legged will was written, the doctor stated
that he called upon Kershow thirty times
as a physician and made fully fifteen
friendly visits. He said also that ne
never saw any one in the rooms of the
collegian but the nurse and occasionally
John Roland. his office boy, whom he sent
to Kershow's rooms at the latter's re-
quest.
The case was continued until this
morning at IL o'clock.

CH|LEhNs OBJECT
To ARBITRATION
Some Fiery Speeches in
the Pan American
Congress.

CITY OF MEXICO, Dec. 2.-The session
of the Pan-American conference took an
unexpected turn to-day. The order of the
day called for a discussion of the project
for a Pan-American bank and the ex-
change of official publications, but at the
opening of the session Mr.. Baez of Para
quay took the floor and made a speech
advocating comprehensive scheme of
arbitration.
Delegate Baez said that the Monroe doc
trine protected the American nations
only from European aggression. What
was needed was another doctrine to pro-
tect them from aggression on the part of
supplied by the Diaz doctrine, recently
eniinciated by Senior Chavero at the ban
quet given by the Mexican delegation in
honor of their colleagues. The basis of
the Diaz doctrine, he said, was peace,
but peace could be assured only through
justice, and justice could be assured only
through arbitration. Therefore, said MIR.
BaeZ. 1t was necessary to proclaim COM
pulsory and universal arbitration as the
basis of the international law of the
Americans.
The Chilean delegates showed manifest
Indications of impatience during the
speech of Mr.. Baez. AT it's conclusion Mr..
Matte of Chile arose and said that he
thought it would be better for the con-
ference to contine itself to the order OF
the day, instead of listening to mere
academical discussions.
Mr.. Bermejo of Argentine, when he
arose to report on In0 PROJECT LOT the
Pan-American bank, took exception to
Mr.. Mates remarks, saying that the SUBJ
ject of arbitration was not academical,
but one that vitality concerned the future
peace of the American continent. He then
went on to show the expediency of the
Pan-American bank.
The Chilean delegate then offered an
amendment to the effect that interested
Governments give the proposed bank a
subsidy of 100000 gold per annum for five
years, to start with. to be contributed
according to population by the several
countries. The project was referred back
to the committee with this amendment.
The project for the exchange of publ
cations was also referred back to the
committee with an unimportant amend
ment.
The session was about to adjourn when
Walker Martinez of Chile sprang to his
feet and made fiery speech denouncfng
what he called the premature introduc-
ton of the subject of arbitration. He said
that. as the subject was still in commit
tee. it was manifestly improper to pre-
cipitate a discussion thereof before the
had r6OOrted.
