MACHEN'S $4,000
Government Questions Nature
of His Income.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 10.-The
postal trial today was made interest
ing by several lively tits between coun-
sci for the defense and Mr.. Conrad,
representing the government, Judge
Pritchard constantly admonishing
them to proceed orderly.
August w. Machen occupied the
stand the entire day, for the most part
of which he was under cross examina-
ton. He went over his connection with
the oil venture in great detail and in
many instances did not require docu-
ments to refresh his memory saying he
could give the facts "by heart"
He reiterated the statement that he
recommended the Croft fastener be-
cause of its merits and not through the
influence of either of the Groffs or Lo-
REM. He explained that when he came
to Washington to assume his duties he
owed $4,000 and at the present time
owes but $4,000 of that debt
1t was brought out by the govern
ment that since 1899 Machen had de-
posted in a Westminster (Md.) bank
over $1,000, and the government
sought to show that it was impossible
for him from the various sources men
toned by him to have received this
amount of money
Machen testified that when he ac-
quired his uncles interest in the oil
property in the face of impending fall
ure and the double liability law of
Ohio, he simply took chances on the
company getting out of it's difficulty.

Nicholas Talks of "soIicitude for the

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 10.-The

Russias, ETC., make known to all our
loyal subjects:
In our solicitude for the mainte-
nance Of peace, which is dear to our
heart, we made every exertion to con-
soldate tranquility in the far East
In these peaceful aims we signified as
sent to the proposals of the japanese
government to revise agreements re-
gard1ng Korean affairs existing be-
tween the two governments. However,
the negotiations begun upon this sub
1ect were not brought to a conclusion,
and Japan, without awaiting the re-
ceipt Of the last responsive proposals of
our government, declared the negotia-
tons broken off and diplomatic rela-
ton with Russia dissolved.
Without advising us of the fact that
the breach of such relations would in
itself mean an opening of warlike OBJ
erations, the japanese government gave
orders to its torpedo boats to suddenly
attack our squadron standing in the
outer harbor of the fortress Of Port
Arthur. Upon receiving reports from
the viceroy in the far East about this,
we Immediately commanded him to an

LOS ANGLES, Cal, Feb. 10.-The
channel between San Pedro and Cata-
lima is alive with the most wonderful
run of sardlnes ever seen In the waters
of Southern California. The water is
black with them, huge splotches being
pointed out on all sides of passing YES

Never in the nine years that the Cali

the elusive sardine has such a run of
luck been struck, and the packing plant
at San Pedro is being worked night and
day to handle the immense hauls that
are being made. Wednesday, Jan. 6,
over ten tons were taken in by the ship
Alpha, and when anchor was weighed
the happy fishermen felt like Simon,
James and John, who Enclosed a great
multitude Of fishes and their net brake,
and they beckoned unto their partners
which were in the other ship, that they
should come and help them, and filed
both ships SO that they began to sink"
The reference is apropos, for even as
the saints of old "toiled all night and
took nothing" so the men Of the Alpha
have been patiently searching the wa
ters for five long months without sue
cess. The Alpha is the largest vessel of
the two which the California Fish COM

Alleged Slayer of Miss SChafer
Tells Strange Tale.

AS an accompaniment to his protesta-

in connection with the murder of Miss

to the officers at the reformatory:

wanted to make people think I knew
something about the murder.
II know absolutely nothing about the
crime. The nearest I was to the place
where Miss Schafer was murdered was
over half block away at the doctors
office. I did not see her that night,
never did see her and did not know
there was such a woman living. I am
not afraid to go back to Bedford, for

Parsons sustained his declaration of
innocence with a courageous demeanor
and does not appear greatly worried
over the position he is in. He mani
tested no desire to get an attorney and
seemed to rely implicitly on Sheriff
Smith and to feel that the further in
vestigations of the sheriff would prove
his innocence.

MISS Gibbons was retainer and

evening how Rosa Gibbons came into
the family service as a young girl.
probably about twenty years of age.
