 STORY OF BORDET TEST

Allentown, Pa, January 2O.-The battle of the experts of blood in the Bechtel trial came to an end this afternoon, and tomorrow every member of the Bechtel family will be placed on the stand in an endeaver to prove that the aged mother is not guilty of being an accessory after the fact, in the killing of her wayward daughter Mabel.

the Bordet test admitted that ne had never made a test by that method. This caused Judge Trexler to instruct the jury to pay no attention to any testimony given relative to the Bordet theory by a witness who is not fully conversant with the principles of the test

The experts called today testified that only one of the many articles taken from the Bechtel home, contained human blood, and that was on the undervest worn by the girl when she was found dead

Cotton and Grain Combined.

The complete official figures show that the south and west-cotton and grain-saved this country from an ad- verse balance of trade in the year 1903. These are the figures:

 Instead of an adverse balance in the last calendar year, we had favorable balance of s4sS, ,455, e3e. created in good part by the cotton and grain of the south and west The entire country would be in the pinch of hard times if the south and west had not come to it's rescue in the depths of financial distress involved in drain of gold and increased indebtedness abroad. The south and west sent enough cotton and grain abroad to pay the travelling ex- penses of our globe-trotters, the inter- est and dividends on American se- curities held abroad, and the freight on American products carried in for eign ships. We give below the record of favorable balances of trade, largely created in each of the years named by the south and west, as followse:

GTHE BENCH
THE HOGAN CONTEMPT CAsE-HOw HARRISON
WAS CONVICTED WITHOUT COUNSEL SIDE
CAsE-HOGAN

A number of attorneys gathered in
Judge De Bolts court this morning to
listen to the aftermath of the Harrison
trial yesterday in the shape of con-
tempt citation for Attorney Henry Ho-
gan. They listened to the most scath-
ing rebuke ever administered to an at
torney here, as it is described by those
present. Judge De Bolt was exceed
ingly quiet and deliberate in his re-
marks, but his severity was only the
more marked by his manner. He i'm
posed a fine of $25.
Hogan addressed the court when his
case was called. He said that he did
not plead guilty of contempt. He had
not intended any contempt of court and
had tried to conduct his case, in his
own wav for the benefit of his client.
AS an officer of the court, said the at
torney, he had always had the highest
respect for the court. Judge De Bolt
asked if he disclaimed all intention to
be in contempt and Hogan responded
most assuredly."
Judge De Bolt talked for about fif-
teen minutes, addressing himself to the
attorneys. He said the lawyer had

The Star is again obliged to

ers for the absence in this

similar request had to be
made once before, it was the
hope of the Star that it would
be the last. Both the mail and

acquaint the publishers with
the conditions, and to apprise
them of the steamship sched-
ules. The supplements arrived
by the Nevadan this morning
but 1T has been impossible as
yet to get them discharged,
and the Star is obliged to pub
lish this Saturdays issue with
out the supplement. These
supplements are prepared in
New York, and with 5000
miles intervening, it is not al
together surprising, though
none the less annoying on that
account, that there should be
failure occasionally to make all
the many shipping connections
necessary in that distance to
get every number here
