Vancouver, B, c., Nov. 1.-The com

it will not be opened for business for
about three weeks. The section be-
tween Bamfield Creek and Tanning
island, which is the longest in the
world, has already undergone a
series of tests and proved entirely
equal to expectations. The actual
time occupied in the trans
mission of a message from this
city to Sydney. Australia, will be less
than five minutes in the case of a
short commercial message, and this
time will ne, of course, mainly occu-
pied in the manual repetition of the

Chicago, Nov. 1.-Two great Dane
dogs saved the lives of four persons.
Thursday night and then We're res
cued themselves from a burning
building in Ashland avenue by their
grateful masters.
The dogs apparently became
frightened at the smoke and the
cracking of the flames under them
and began to bark. The noise they
made awakened Henry and Arthur
Hirsch. members of the Calumet
Metal Co., and J. G. Spokane and Ben
jamin Barringan, who were asleep in
the building. AS they were leaving
the building Arthur Hirsch suggested
to his brother that they ought to save
the dogs, so the two turned back and,
CROPPING theireway through the smoke,
found the two dogs huddled together,
almost overcome. Grasping the dogs
by the collars the two men drew them
to rear door and escaped.

Tn the circuit court at Fayette
last week Richard Gaines was con-
victed of the murder of r. V. Comp
ton, an aged merchant of Gannons-
burg, Jefferson county, and SEN
fenced to be hanged on November

last July, Gaines and three accom-
plices entered Compton's store on
the night of July 4 and killed the
old man with Ratchet. The ne
groes were arrested shortly after the
discovery of the body and would
have been lynched had they not been
spirited to Vicksburg, where they
were held until last week, when they
were taken to Fayette, the county

Penitentlary to Rescue.

The pcnitentiary is coming to the
rescue of the State treasury, which
has reached low stage. Warden
Parchman has just sold $4,000
worth of cotton and will turn the
entire amount into the treasury. In
view of the fact that there is not
over $150,000 in the treasury at the
present time, all such aids are very
timely, since in the near future
there will be some heavy demands
on the States funds, notably the
payment of the pensions. By that
time, however, it is thought the pen
itentiary and tax settlements will
have built up a sufficient reserve to
tide over with ease.

ANOTHER ONE convicted.
Circuit Attorney Folk, Of St. Louis,
Secures Another Conviction in
the Doodle Cases.
EDMUND BERsCH GUILTY or PERJURY.
The Jury, After Being Ont Nineteen
Minutes Returned Verdict AS
sessing the Penalty mt Five Years
Ina the PenItentiary-No Defense
Made.

St. Louis, Nov. Edmund Berceh,
former member of the house of dele
gates, was found guilty by jury in
Judge Ryan's court, Friday, of per-
jury, before the grand jury, in con-
nection with the Doodle investigation.
Bersch's punishment was assessed
at five years in the penitentiary. The
jury was out only 10 minutes.
The conviction was expected and
the case was not fought by the de-
will ask for new trial or appeal to
the supreme court.
At the opening of court, Friday
morning, Judge Ryan overruled the
demurrer of the defense in the Bersch
perjury case and ordered the case to
to proceed. Attorney Rowe an
nounced that the defense would call
no witnesses and make no argument,
jury at it stood at the conclusion of
the states evidence.
1T is the most remarkable case |
ever listened to.
This remark by criminal lawyer
describes the Edmund Bersch case.
Circuit Attorney Folk simply over
whelmed the defense with food of
evidence, and there was no stem
ming the tide. On technical points
alone, Judge Krum, John Gernez and
Thomas j. Rowe fought the matter,
and when the state rested, Thursday
evening, the one hope of the defense
was a reversal in the supreme court
or of Judge Ryan's taking the ease
from the jury.
All the inner dealings of the now
celebrated combine were detailed by
John X. Murrell, his brother. f. +.
Murrell. George F. Robertson and
John Helms. William NJ. Tamblyn was
a hating witness. What little he tes-
tilted to was dragged from him by the
circuit attorney. He acted and spoke
like man utterly crushed. His MEM
DRY was defective and his speech hes
itating. The others were different.
They told as to the dealings regarding
the Suburban measure, and said the
combine were determined to make
money out of the promoters. On
| crosse summation Helms, Robertson
and Z. f. Murrell candidly admitted
that they had perjured themselves Le-
fore the December grand jury, and
that it was done as per the agreement
of the combine members in order to
protect themselves and the gang.
Despite what had been promised

ton of the utter debasement of the
lower branch of the municipal assem-

ure came before it. No one doubts

LIQUOR SELLING IN IOWA.
Express Companies May Not Handle
Liquor in Iowa On the
G. o. ID. Plan.

Des Moines. Ia, Nov. 1.-The Iowa
supreme court has reversed two trial
courts in Iowa on the question of the
c. o. D. liquor sales by express com
panies.
In both instances the express com
panies had liquors which they were
transferring to purchasers in ex-
change for c. o. ID. payments. Seiz-
ures were made and the cases tried in
the district court, where the express
companies won. Both cases were APP
pealed. and both are now reversed.
The holding of the court prevents
express companies from handling liq-
uor c. o. d.. and makes such goods
contraband and liable to seizure if
found in the possession of the com
panies.
