WEST TELLS
HIS STORY.

Media, Pa, March 21.-Th,
case Of Albert West, charged
! with the murder of Policeman
Mark a. Allen, will be given tc
tine jury tomorrow. The taking
OF testimony closed late to-day
and the attorneys address to the
jury will begin tomorrow morn
! ing.
West was the last witness call
ed. He detailed his movements
on the night the murder was
committed, but his memory was
not Of the best as to lust what oc-
cured when he shot Officer Allen
at Third and Pu,cy streets. He
purchased the revolver in store
near the Philadelphia, Wilmington
a. Baltimore Railroad, and, uc-
cording to his statement, lie car
ried it in his hand for some time.
West told about the quarrel
with the Ballard woman and said
that when the policeman came
upon him suddenly and grabbed
him, the revolver, which was still
in his hand. went off, The officer
loOscncl his grip on West and,
according to the story told by the
latter, he fell back and the rcyol-
yer, being sclf-cocking was dis
charged twice in succession, one
OF the balls striking the officer
in the head and causing death.
81 ran said West, but did
know that ! had killed any one
George =. Eckcnroth, the most
important witness for the Com
monwealtll, was called when Court
opened for the day. He cav 'lo
shooting. His version of the
affair WIS that the officer met
West about the middle of the
street during Vests quarrel with
the woman and said: What is
the muttcr?:'
West made no reply, bat fired
one..shot and the officer fell to the
pavement. After moving away
several steps West fired two more
shots Ill quick succession. Other
witnesses had also testified that
the shot, had been fired with u
considerable interval between the
first and the second.
West was given good rcpuia-
ton by farmer, from Chester
County for whom he worked from
1892 until 1900. They were
Patrick Corcoran, John Nipple,
Frank Green. J. G. Haincs and
George Emerson. They testified
that West behaved well when he
worked for them.
District Attorney Smith believes
that the evidence is strong enough
to convict West of murder in the
first degree. Counsel for the |
prisoner will try to convince the |
jury that the murder was of the |
second degree,

SETTING OUT
PEACH TREES.

Dover, Del. March 1.-Two thol,s.
and peach trees have just been set
out on the big poor farm near Wyom.
ing. where OvcrSecr James =. ArOn
has been placed in charge of the un-
fortunates and penniless people Of
this county.
The peach trees, which will all he
in bearing in three years, are of the
Reeves Fayorite, Elbertas and Craw-
ford varieties, some of the finest
known to fruit growers of this state.
1t is intended that every inmate of
the aims house Shall not only be af-
fOrdcd some Of the luxuries which tie
people of Delaware enjoy during fruit
season, but shall be kept busy in har-
vesting the fruit and then in spraying
pruning and caring for the orchards
all the ycal round.
Thus, by receiving extra care from
the unemployed inmates, it is thought
that the almshousc fruit farm will
prove valuable from an experimental
standpoint now that peach growing
by the wholesale is being generally
revived on this peninsula.
Beside the peach orchards, pears,
apples and small fruits are being
grown. There are already 800 pear
trees OF the successful kcitfcr variety
in bearing on the farm, and recently
the trustees ordered 800 more to be
set out at once. Berries. sufficient
to supply the institution and. have
enough over to take to the local mar.
kcts, are also being grown.

LEpRosY IN DENMARK.
CareIessness, and No Effort Made
to Eradicate 1t.

United States Consul Victor E.
Nelson at Bergen, Norway, has sent
report to the marine hospital serv-
ice, in which he says that the preva-
lence of leprosy in Denmark must be
imputed to the uncleanliness and the
grotesque carelessness Of the people
of that country. He says there are
six leprosy patients there, of whom
four are in Copenhagen. In Denmark
leprosy does not belong to those few
diseases which are subjected to public
treatment.
Iceland has its own leprosy law.
AT the Laugarnoes hospital in Ice
land, established by the Odd Fellows
order, there were 81 patients received
during 1890, and OF these IS are now
dead and only two have been dis
charged as fully recovered. Relapses
are usual in leprosy cases. The death
rate has been fearfully high, which
is somewhat offset by the fact that
that was the first year of the hos
pitfalls work and the worst of Ice
lands population first were admitted.
The report says that DR.. Armareuer
Hansen, of Bergen, has found the
leprosy bacillus, but it's antagonist is
not yet discovered. The Icelanders
are declared to be imprudent, the
sick people using the same beds, eat
ing and drinking utensils as the
healthy.

sUNKEN TREASURE SHIP.
Old Hulk Found in Long Island Sound
Believed to Contain Over $780,
900 in Currency.

After resting at the bottom Of Long
Island Sound for over 60 years, dur
ing which her whereabouts has been
complete mystery, discoveries were
made last week that led to the belief
that the steamer Lexington, which
was burned and afterward sank on
the right of January 10, 1910, causing
the loss of 100 lives, has been found
and that 100000 in United States
currency, which went down with her,
will be found in her waterlogged
hull.
On January 10 of this year, the
sixty-frst anniversary of the fatality,
one of the witnesses wrote q letter
to Bridgeport paper calling atten-
ton to the disaster. This brought
forth other letters and from these
wrecking company of that city drew
information of the location of the
sunken steamer. After weeks of pa
tient search divers reported that the
Lexington had been found. Since
then several explorations have been
made under the direction of officers
OF the company, but rough weather
and other engagements have inter-
fered with the work of the divers
and only some iron work has been
brought up. The treasure of the
Lexington, If found, will become the
property of the wrecking company
under the marine law.

STILL IN THE LEAD.
United States Greatest Exporting
Nation of the World.
Great Britain Comes Second, with
Germany, France, Russia, Meth
erlnnds and Indin Following
in the Order MINED.

The United States continues at the
head of the list of the worlds export
ing nations. The comparative fig
ures prepared each month by the
treasury bureau of statistics, exhib-
iting the imports and exports of each
of the principal countries of the
world and the average per month
during given period, show that the
domestic exports from the United
States are greater than those from
any other country, and that the
monthly average during the year 1901
has been higher than that of any
other country. For the nine months
ended with September our exports
of domestic products were 1924 $685.
1s1, against s1,o1s,s45,76s from the
United Kingdom, the next largest ex-
porter of domestic products, in the
same period. While a comparison
during the same period with Ger
many. France, Russia, Netherlands
and India, which follow in the
order named in the magnitude of
their exports, is impractical BILE be-
cause their fiscal years are not con-
terminous with that of the United
States, the totals of their exports
during the latest available years
show not only that the United States
is clearly in the lead as an exporter,
but that the growth in her exports
has been more rapid than that of any
other great exporting nation. In the
calendar year 1900, for which the
statistics of most exporting countries
are now available, the figures for the
United States were $1,453,O13,659 of
exports of domestic products, against
$497,26s,737 in 1875, an increase of
nearly 200 per cent. during that pc
riod; while those of Germany were
in 1900 $1,O5o,611, 900, and in 1875 $6o7,-
100000, an increase of 70 per cent;
and those of the United Kingdom, in
1900, $1,41s,34s,0O0, and in 1875 ST.
os7, $4,000, an increase of about 40
per cent,
