Evidence that would show defalca-
ton would simply be accamulative. said
Justice Murphy, after the evidence was
all in. No stronger motive could be
proved than has already been brought
out here. But proving motive does not
establish suicide. The court is prepared
TO announce its findings"
Judge Murray then delivered his. YER
dict as follows:

The December crop report estimated
the winter wheat area at 34,0O000O
acres about 100000 acres more than
the largest on record, the 1901, and about
100000 acres in excess of the area har-
vested in 1902. If the full yield of
wheat, representing 100, is taken as 1875
bushels per acre, the April percentage
of condition, 97.3, would suggest yield
per acre of about 16 bushels. This yield
per acre on an area of 100000 acres
would mean a winter wheat yield Of
GA, 100000 bushels compared with ILL.,
100000 bushels winter wheat raised in
1902 and compared with $4,000 600
bushels winter wheat raised in the record
crop of 1901. If the present growing
winter wheat crop should realize the
government predictions the total would
be 1873, 100000 bushels in excess of last
year and $4,000, 900 bushels in excess Of
the largest ever raised, the 1901 winter
wheat crop.
The average condition of winter rye
on April ] was 90, against S5.4 on
April /, 1902, 93.1 at the corresponding
date in 1901. and $40 the mean of the
April average of the last ten years.

Scientist Finds Trace of People Living

An American civilization far ante
dating the generally accepted limits of
pre- Columbian peoples has been traced
in Peru by DIR. Max Uhle, director of
the anthropological excavations and ex
plorations Of the University of Califor-
MIA in that country, where Inca tradi-
ditions had led scientists to believe Peru
vi civilization existed only few cen
turies before the coming of the Span
iards. The work of DR.. Uhle has es-
tablished the fact that a great ciyiliza-
tion fiourished 1000 years earlier. at the
least, and that a cultured race of higher
development than the Incas was in ex
istence before the Trojan war.
