According to London cablegral".
the Russian minister of finance anu
the tariff committee have fixed the
artes for journey through Russia on
the Siberian railroad from any from
tier station on the west to station
in Manchooria, on the Russo Manchoo
rian frontier. The first class fare,
inclusive of an extra charge on ex-
press trains, and not including a
charge for bedding, sleeping, ETC., will
be 154 rubles, or about 500. The Sec
ond class fare will be about IS less. The
Siberian express will start from
Moscow, which may be reached by
way of ST. Petersburg on the Warsaw
branch. Beyond the frontier station
the journey through Manchooria will
be a charge of the Chinese Eastern
railway, which, according to Russian
official statements, has been recog-
nized as a foreign line. Immediately
after this recognition it was announ-
ced at kharbin that the opening of
the line through Manchooria to ira
ffic had been postponed for year.

THE MOLlNEUx CASE.

The acquittal of Roland B. Moli-
neux marks the close of a most extra
ordinary and sensational criminal
case. The defendant, teacher OF ath- |
letics in one of the New Yory clubs, |
was charged with numbering Mrs. |
Adams by poison. The theory of the
prosecution was that the poison was
intended for one Cornish with whom
Molineux was not upon good terms
as the result of some little difficulty
at the club. The poison was cyanide
of mercury contained in bottle of
bromo-seltzer, which had been sent to
Cornish through the mail, Mrs. Ad-
ans taking it by mistake.
The case against Molineux rested
mainly upon the testimony of hand
writing experts, who gave it as their
opinion that the address upon the poi
son package had been written by Mo-
lineux in a disguised hand. There
were some other circumstances point
ing toward Molineux as the sender of
the posion, but they were remote, and
by themselves amounted to but little
as evidence. The case was vigorous
~ pressed by the prosecution and at
the first trial some four years ago
Molineux was convicted and senten-
ced to death.
An appeal was taken and strong
effort was made to procure a new tri-
al upon the ground that the opinions
of handwriting experts is not compe-
tent testimony in such cases. The
Court of Appeals declined to take
this view, but it held that other writ
ings claimed to be those of Molineux
not connected with the case, were i'm
properly admitted in evidence for the
purpose of comparison. The case
was reversed, and upon the second
trial which has just been closed it
took the jury just twenty-fiv minutes
after the case was submitted to find
verdict of not guilty.
The case has attracted worldwide
attention because of the extent to
which the expert testimony as to Mo
lineux's handwriting figured. Among
lawyers there have always been grave
doubts as to whether any man should
be deprived of life or liberty on the
basis of such testimony, in which mis-
takes may be so easily made. Nc
man always writes the same; no two
write exactly alike, but there is fire
Quently so much similarity that the
keenest expert may be easily deceiv
ed. And this is especially true whel
the writing is in a disguised hand
which is generally the case when ,
crime is being committed. The dis
trust of such testimony has certainl,
not been weakened by the Molinen,
case.

A skeleton Of the Brontosaurus. the
largest animal that ever lived. has
been obtained by the American Mu-
scum OF Natural History OF New York.
The skeleton is ages old. 100000
years, according to some biologists,
for the Brontosaurus lived in the Gre
taceus period. when reptiles ruled the
earth, long before man and mammals
made their appearance or the earth as
umed It's present external form.
The Brontosaurus was a gigantic
lizard seventy feet long. His name Ia
formed from two Greek words mean
ing thunder lizard" This name has
been given because some scientists be-
lleve that the animal made a noise like
thunder when he walked-not an I'M
reasonable supposition.
II is gratifying to know that the
Brontosaurus is an American. He and
his friends lived in and about a great
tropical lake where Wyoming and adj
jacent states now are. Thus the AM
erican reputation for big things goes
on growing.
Extraordinary interest Is attached to
this find from the fact that II is the
largest and most nearly complete
skeleton so far found Of this creature.
Heretofore only fragmentary parts
have been brought to light. There
fore Il is considered one OF the most
valuable contributions to the knowl-
edge of the prlmeval world that is in
existence.
