Why Tucker Could Not Write Morton
Address.
Handwriting assumed the position IN
the case Of being a factor upon which
a human life depends. If u L. Morton
Charlestown. Mass" could be proven to
have been written by Tucker the con-
yictfng conclusions must follow that
he was at the Page house, and being
there must have committed the crime
So the government Procured ABOUT 200
sales slips in the handwriting Of the
defendant from which the State experts
selected 113 to be used q; standards of
comparison. which ne5t be the ac-
knowledged handwriting, or be positive
ly proven. These were not shGwn to the
counsel for the defendant until at the
trial and then were admitted 10 be the
handwriting of Tucker and were accept
ed by the defense as standards of COM
Darfson also. There was IN the writing
simfiarities to capital letters, but
total dissimilarity as To characteristics
or personal habits, which are the pc
culiaritfes or individuality. So the reason
of a difference OF opinion arose. no
doubt from The weight of importance
given by the experts to siTr7ilarities and
dissIniIarftfes- Charts, composite writ
| ings fn1ade up of Tucker-s), photograph
Autographs. blue prints and board IL
Illustrations were exhibited to eIucidate
/ to the jury the .'hows and why's, and
| right curves and angular joinings and
/ shadings. slurrings and crossings. and
! letters OF the old school andsuew school
were presented for several days until
many of the jurynen nodded with wear
| mess. and one of the judges seconded
| the motion several times as the ids
went down.
It was then said for these reasons the
hand that wrote the standards wrote
also the u. L. Morton" address The
defense, using the very same standa rds
and making equally as clear u compari-
sen. found more convincing testimony
| TO offset this conclusion and expressed
| the opinion that the hand that wrote
the standards did not write the u. L.
| Morton address, which, of course had
rather the effect of disa agreement
This should have giveH rise to doubt If
nothing more. And the defendant was
entitled to it. Each witness is consid-
cred skilled. Years OF experience has
ripened the knowledge he possesses and
he is entitled to certain credit. And
rightfully, too. He should not claim
generally to be infallibIe. Specifically
sometimes he can do SO and give as an
opinion fact and claim that ii is i'm
possible TO be otherwise.
The Washington times., 1905-02-12
Mabel Page Wrote Address.

The defense in this case went further
than To show that Tucker did not write
the address. but asserted from the writ
ing itself that it was the work of Mabel

point as the property of Miss Page.
Tucker, therefore. must be the man for
the Commonwealth. Now this was Il
theory, and from the verdict seemed
reasonable, at least the jury by the
subtle power of the English language
marshaled by a capable general were
forced to think so.

WANTS DRY DOCK RETAINED.
Congressman Nudes Efforts In
This Behalf.

Always keenly alive TO the best in
terest of Maryland, Congressman sgd
ney Z Mudd is endeayoring TO per-
suade the Navy Department at Wash
ington to have the floating dry dock
Dewey remain at Solomon's Island.
and 70 utilize that place as one of the
regular navy repair yards. 1t will be
remembered that this dock was origi-
nally intended for service in the Phil
ippines, and is now at Solomon's Is
land undergoing a series Of tests be-
fore it is officially accepted by the
government.
Solomon's Island would make an
ideal harbor for the navy ships, and
the floating dock could be successfully
and economically manipulated there.
As III is. Uncle Sans ships have TO so
to Newport News. New York city or
Boston to be docked for repairs. The
water apptoach To Solomon's affords
ample depth of channel, and the bluff
of Drum Point makes an ideal anchor
age. By having a floating dock there
the ships Of the navy could be repair
ed aud their bottoms cleaned at q
great saving to the government, as
they would escape the heavy tolls
charged by the owners of the shore
dry docks.
This floating dock mas already dem
onstrated its ability toIdock the lar
gest ships of the navy, having docbed
the Colorado and the Iowa during the
tests in less than two hours, which is
a much shorter time than would be re-
auired by the old method If the
Navy Department should decide to
utilize the natural advantages of such
a harbor as Solomon's has for the re-
pairs of the navy, the floating dock
would cost less than the old style land
dock and would be cheaper to conduct.
in this event another floating dock
would be built to go to the Philip.
pines should the Dewey dock remain
here.
In time of war the navy could put
into the Chesapeake for repairs, with
the forts on the Capes as a safeguard.
The navy recognized the utility of
the floating dock and has had one at
New Orleans fer several years. The
Dewey dock is 500 feet long and is
also self docking. 1t is fully equipped
with necessary machine shop on
board. The cost was about 81 200, 600.

Failed To Reach Explorers.

Former Section Director OF the
Weather Bureau, Baltimore, DR.. Oliver
T.. Fassig, has sent a cable message
to the associate professor of meteorol-
ogy at Johns Hokpins University, an
ouncing the failure of his expedition
To discover the members of the Ziegler
relief party on Shannon Island in the
Arctic Ocean. The message was dated
Edinburgh and read: 'No member
of Ziegler on Shannon Island July 2l.

York Goth. -
The failure of Dr. Fassig to find
traces of members of the Fiala expedl-
tion on Shannon Island does not imply
that the explorers are lost. The opin-
ion of experts in polar research is that
Fiala has got into trouble, and there
is a possibility that she may be lost,
as he has not been heard from since
the summer of 1903, when he sailed
on the steamer America from Norway.
He intended to make his base Prince
Rudolf Land, COZ miles from the pole,
and expected to average ten miles q
dav in his effort to reach there by
sledges. All his men have been III the
Arctic before and were exceptionally
hardy

STRIKE At NAVAL ACADEMY
Carpenters Employed BY The Noel
Construction Company
Leave Jobs.
BALTIMORE EMPLOYEES GET
TING MORT MONEY.
This Led The Annapolis Men of
The Carpenters Union
To Strike.

All of the Annapolis carpenters en-
ployed by the Noel Construction Com,
pany on the firms construction work
on the Naval Academy buildings left
the works on strike this morning
The strike came after failure to ad-
Just the carpenters wage scale TO suit
the local members of the trade en-
ployed by the firn.
For some past the Construction
Company has been at loss TO get
sufficient men of the carpenterinR aud
Joining trades for their needs on the
various buildings now under construc-
tion in the government institution.
This forced the contractors TO import
men from Baltimore, but the men
from the Monumental City refused TO
come to Annapolis to work for less
than,S SO. 90 a day, and to get the neces-
sary labor they were forced TO meet
this demand.
The Annapolis carpenters, belong
ing TO the United Brotherhood Of Car
penters and Joiners, Annapolis Local
No. lfs6, had been getting only SO a
day, and when they learned yesterday
that the men from Baltimore, beside
whom they were working and doing
30 cents more per day, they registered
a kick. The Constructor Company,
however. refused to meet their demand
for a so cent raise, it is understood.
When this became known TO the Annapo
lis carpenters employed by Noel they
left the work on the Chapel, Bancroft
Hall ana the other buildings under
Noel's contract. and many of the men
have since found work with the other
contractors at the Academy or on
Jobs in the eitY
In all there were only seven men
effected, these being the only ones en-
ployed by Noel, and they simply de-
olined to do work under firm while
men working right with them and do
ing the same amount of similar work
were getting 80 cents more PER day
than they.
