FOR SOUTH sRooKLYN sREAkwATER.

Washington. March u.-Representatives Bassett.
Fitzgerald. DunweIl and Alexander and J. 5. Seager
and Irving T. Bush. all OF New-YoriI were before
the House Committee Rivers and HarbOrs
to-day, and presented the Brooklyn breakwater
project. They cOntended that the refusal OF the
War Department TO project further into the stream
the pierhead line alOng North River. is making Il
impossible for long piers to be built around Man
haitian They pointed out that the great need Of
New-IOrk harbOr is accommodation for long
steamships and low dOckage rates The current
OF the East River prevents that accommodation
there. and the North River front is largely pre-
empted now. while Staten Island is easily
available account OF the BLUFFS. and consequently
there is only available location left to-day tor
long piers. That. they stated. Is the Brooklyn
waterfront between Thirtieth and Sixty-fifth SITS.
Mr. Bassett said that the government is now
spending great TO deepen the channel IN mont
Of tais shore. and that some OF the largest piers
in the world being built there The main
drawback he said. is the made By the
northwest wind. which has a sweep five miles
across the Bay rendering the work OF trans
shipping difficult and dangerous. He urged thar
the government erect a breakwater One-third OF
mile long opposite these piers where there Is now
a shOal. Such breakwater would not be IN the
way of ships. but the contrary, he said. would
assist in securing out the present channel. The
delegation submitted a large number OF letters
from shippers and other business tndorsins
the project. The committee to-day took no action
in regard TO the measure.

they are examined on bones, on muscles
and other things that all people must
know before they can practlce liltelh-
gently no matter what system they use.
If an osteopath ever does study ana
tony he must study the same books used
by the regular physicians, and TINS is
true Of other elementary branches. When
it comes to practice then we differ, and
the Legislature expressly states that
those persons who do not beheVe IN the
practice of regular physicians shall not
be examined on this subject What more
can any just and fair man ask!
AS said before, it all resolves Itself INTO
a question of competency. 1t is the Key
note of the whole controversy
But nothing is settled until it is set
tied right, and the chances are million
to one that this decision has not settled
the question in this State.

left hand leans upon an anchor, diagon-
ally across the vignette from left to right
in the genuine, there is hair line very
distinct, as if the stone from which the

broken or cracked. In the counterfeit
there is no such blue or hair line. In the
centre vignette, right side near the cotton

distinctly executed, and the mule looks as
if he was walking from you, presenting
only a tail view. In the counterfeit it is
much palmer. and the mule presents al
most a broad view"

FOOTBALL TODAY.
owenton and the Birmingham High
 School at West End.


 The football teams from the Birming- ham High school and the North Ala bama Conference college. at Owenton, will meet at West End this afternoon and do battle for local athletic honors
 The two teams were to have played last week, but on account of the ln- cessant rain the game had to be post poned These boys have been training hard for the contest and the football en- thusiasts may expect to see a very spir- ited exhibition of the great college game
 The game will be called promptly at S;SO o'clock, but as yet there has been no arrangement as to the time of the halves The result of this game will be very closely watched by other local foot ball teams, and 1t Is possible that the winner may have to play the team of the University High school, which has been very successful so far this season.
 Several days ago the owenton team was badly defeated by the Normal col lege team at Jacksonville, but so far the High school has not played a cham pionship game. As yet they are an un- certain quantity.

tlemen, this man murdered his own wife; he is the man!
 The commonwealth's attorney. with growing eloquence, went on to discuss the various theories of the murder ad- vanced by the defense. His argument here was along the line of that of his associates who had preceded him. He ridiculed the theory of a burglar, who would go so far as to Kill the wife and knock the husband senseless, and then walk out of the house. leaving everything untouched-a burglar who could open half dozen windows and doors before he left He likewise belittled the suggestion of a man seeking vengeance on either the husband or the wife CT both.
 Then, gentlemen" he cried If it could be none of these. who was 1t? Who was the man who killed this woman? Gentlemen, it was Sam McCue"
 The bloody shirt and the night gown were held up by MT. Gilmer. He pointed to the blood spots on the former He showed where the sleeves had been washed, and he called attention to the fact that there was not a stain upon the cloth below the point to which the trousers reached. The tell-tale spots on the back were also pointed out, as was the tear in the front. A man would have ripped the entire shirt off in a scuffe; this little tear was where the weak, but desperate, hand of a woman had fallen. The night gown was taken through the same process. The rents in it were ex- posed and were declared by the speaker to be the work of the raging husband.
 The Shirt Sleeves.
 Finally MT Gilmer made another test of the length of the sleeves, designed to offset the Wednesday night test by MT. Sinclair, of the defense The speaker called to Woods, a deputy sergeant, and asked him to pull off his coat. Woods removed a variety of weapons from his person and then walked forward in his shirt sleeves. Gilmer laid the sleeve against his muscular arm. It came nearly to the wrist.

him with the murder is what overwhelm- ed the twelve. The bloody shirt was per haps, the strongest point against McCue from the viewpoint of the jury. The love from the viewpoint of the jury. The love scarcely at all in the deliberation over the verdict
 On Its Merits.
 MT. Gilmer, one of the attorneys for the state, discussed the case on its mer- it's He denied that the commonwealth had sought to blacken the name of Dr. Frank c. McCue. All the commonwealth had done was to bring out the indisputa- ble fact that the physician was at his brothers house at least ten minutes be- fore Grady arrived. Then he went on to lay down three propositions, which he declared pointed clearly to the priso- ner as the murderer of his wife. These three points were the fact that McCue was not and could not have been un- conscious; the tell-tale blood marks on his shirt and finally the conflicting state ments of the accused.
 A mathematical demonstration was made by MT McCue. He referred to the fact that the witnesses of the defense itself had stated that the murder had occurred some time between 9:15 and 9:30 clock. Thereafter, he proceeded to show that at 9.05 D. m. McCue and his wife were on the street and engaged in conver- sation with MT. Dnwiddie and others, which could not have taken less than eight minutes This brought the time to 9:13 D. m At that hour the man and wife were at the gate bidding adieu to MT. Dnwiddie. They went in, opened the house and proceeded to the bed chamber. It was in evidence that Mrs McCue was one of the best-dressed women in Char lottesville; it was also in evidence that she had disrobed and donned her night gown when she was killed She wore her Sunday clothes. It was reasonable to sup pose that she was careful in laying them away. She had partially unloosed her hair Ten minutes, the attorney declared. was a reasonable estimate for the time necessary to complete these duties. This brought the time up to 9:23 D. m. Between that time and the utmost limit given by the defense for the moment of the crime there was an interval of about seven minutes. Into this brief space many things had to be crowded. The woman was attacked, beaten. choked; she was chased from the bed-chamber 10 the bathroom, where she was shot.
 Thou Art the Man..
 "Gentlemen,o declared MT. Gilmer' soi- emnly, "think of it. All of this was done in seven minutes. Was there any tlme to be unconscious? Was there? Gentiemeh of the jury, he was not unconscious' 1eh-
