MORE WITNESSES
TO PROVE INSANITY

The reading of the late Mrs. Reeds
deposition, telling of a siege of fever
the defendant suffered in childhood, re-
sulting in mental weakness, took place
in the Jones murder trial yesterday
morning.
James l.. Brett, who worked with
Jones in the hardware department of
Theo. II. Davies & Co., gave evidence
of similar tenor to that of several pre-
eeding witnesses. indicating a belief that
the defendant was lacking in mental
balance.
Anthony Gilman, an uncle of Jones,
was on the stand for some hours. His
levidence generally supported the state
ments in Mrs. Reeds deposition.
John Jones' a brother of the defend
ant, was next called. His evidence and
that Of ]. W. Podmore, the last witness
of the day. went to show that the de-
PENDANT was of weak mind. Podmore's
evidence gave rise to frequent objec-
tions from the prosecution and several
volunteer statements were struck out

THE WAR OUTLOOK.

Special correspondence from st. Pc
tersberg lays emphasis on the fact
that Russia wants peace with Japan.
but desires some great military or ma
val success before proposing it. on
that account Kuropatkin made his re-
cent advance, only to be checked and
driven back into his intrenchments.
Whether he will advance again will
perhaps depend upon his tenure of
command; but there is hardly any doubt
that somebody will, for, with over AGO.
600 men in hand, the Russian COM
mander could not hope for public re-
spect or the favor OF the emperor II he
should hesitate to strike. There seems
to be the making of one good battle in
Manchuria before the war comes TO an
end.
In that battle the odds would be
against the assailant, Both Kuropat-
kin and Oyama are strongly fortified
and the one who assailed the other
would pay for the venture in blood. In
deed, Oyama has not only intrenched
himself before Mukden, but, in his adj
vance north. he has left line of for
midabIe earthworks behind him, as well
as the elaborate captured works at Lao
yang. To drive him back would re-
quire the eostliest sacrifice of Russian
life that any war has seen. Should the
attempt be made the chances are that
Kuropatkin would meet his Waterloo
and that Russia would have to make
peace on dictated terms.
In naval way there is nothing tina
looks more promising for the Russian
than in a military way. Rodjestvens X!
confessed, at the outset, that his gun
were outelassed by those of the Japan
csc and he has not yet ventured anon
dangerous seas. 1t does not look no'
as II he would. There is no port 70
him but Vladivostok, and the subma
rines of the enemy make that perilou
TO approach. The dispatch of a thir
squadron to his present base is prob
ably ruse to frighten the Japanes
into seeking peace for themselves. thu
saving Russia's face while at the sam
time extricating her from grave d
lemma.

USES OF THE MILITIA.

The star is worried lest, in case OF
the Federal artillery and the navy
would suffer for want of assistance by
the Hawaiian militia. Hence the en-
tire propriety, indeed the common
patriotism, of spending large sums to
keep the militia going in time OF peace.
For an the Star knows to the contrary
a war with a great power will sud
denly come upon us and, when the
enemy's feet is reported by Diamond
Head Charley, capture will be certain
unless the general at the forts may
count on the embattled employees Of
the Public Works department led by
the sourt stenographer and inspired
to feets of daring by the patriotic
shouts Of the chief of the garbage de-
partment.
1t Is always with pain that the Ad-
'yertisep disagrees with the Star, but
Il hesitates to think that the United
States cannot put a sufficient garrison
here to man all the defensive works 1t
is going to build and that the islands
may be lost unless the taxpayers keep
N. q. regiment In being. Indeed this
journal is inclined to think that if our
militia ever put in an appearance at
the firing lne-whch Is very doubt
ful-the garrison In the forts would
ask a policeman to shoe them away.
If, by any chance, the regulars need
ed help they would be far more likely
TO draw upon some of our veteran
Japanese laborers, than to disturb the
peaceful avocations and unsettle the
sensitive nerves of the N. Gs. But, as
We have already said, when Uncle Sam
gets ready to defend these islands, he
will probably do it with his accus-
toned thoroughness
There is one sphere of action, how
ever. which might Justify the mainte-
rance OF the local militia for war pur-
poses and we are not prepared to say
that a serious proposition, under this
head, would not receive the Adver-
Users support. If war comes, the reg
ular troops would have to be well fed
and II the First Regiment were sent
into the hills to dig sweet potatoes
and other vegetables and into the val
leys to pluck taro, the occupation
would not only be more congenial to
1t than war-more familiar, in fact
but It would contribute several hum
dredweight a day to the success of
the Cause. What more inspiring word
could be sent to the hungry fighters in
the forts than a wireless from Colonel
Jones at the head of the Kalihi val
ley: Am hurrying reserves of cab
bages to our extreme front at the Por-
tuguese church. Have ordered Cap
tain Johnson to come in after dark
with forty-six cans of poi. First bat
talon will leave for the Waianae
range tomorrow to hunt goats" A
message like that would afford Uncle
Sans artillerymen so much more
solace than the news that the First
Regiment was coming to fire its mus
kets at the enemy's fleet, that We are
not sure but the militia ought to be
kept up after all. But we submit, in
such event, that It should be provided
with truck farm to drill in instead OF
an armory.

There is more or less talk about a re-
vision of the Hawaiian tax system. In
stead OF having property taxed for its
full value and the rate maintained at
one per cent, the proposal Is to increase
the rate TO two or more per cent and
tax property one-half TO two-thirds of
its valuation. Several states follow
the latter course, but find that it leads
to dissatisfaction and discrimination.
Once the principle is admitted that
property is not to be assessed at its
full value, the tendency is to discount
unevenly, resulting in favoritism, etc.
The efforts of tax reformers in the
States where this system prevails are
to get into the position Hawaii now
occupies, with property assessed at its
full value and low rate of taxation.
Where We are we had better stay.
What trouble Hawaii has is due to the
fact that the assessment was put at
the top-notch during boom times and
has not yet been brought to earth
The remedy lies with the assessors
and there is nothing to warrant legisla.

the absence of previous study by 4

No moking i'm Waiting Room.

Persons addicted to smoking will
have to eschew the weed while about
the waiting rooms or the platforms of
the P. g. R. depots. hereafter. Sta
tion Master P. H. Foust has received
an order from headquarters requesting
that the "no smoking" notices hereaf-
ter be strictly enforced. Many of these
notices. it seems, of late years have
not been strictly observed. Even in
the waiting rooms. when no ladies'
we're about, it seems, by common con-
sent the habit of smoking is INDUCED.
All this will be different hereafter.
Cigar and pipe will be unoompromis.
ingly banished. Ladies or no ladies.
hereafter the least suggestion of smoke
whether it be of the odor or the smoke
itself will not be tolerated about the
waiting rooms.
The Philadelphia and Reading Rail-
way Company is also waging a relent-
less war on cigarettes A decree has
been issued by the company that is far
reaching and bars the .'coffin nails"
on all sides. Hereafter the sale of
cigarettes is prohibited either on its
trains or at the stations. 1t goes fur
ther and prohibits the use of the cigar
cites either on trains, in the stations
or upon the station platforms. An
order has been issued to the Union
News Company prohibiting the sale of
cigarettes on any railroad property.
The war on cigarette fiends will, it is
said, be waged over the entire system.

Report on Bridge Approach.

During an interview with P. G.
Bay lor, Supervisor of Gearhart Town
ship, for tho upper end, yesterday, it
was learned that as things now stand
Northumb mberland Colnty will build the
expensive retaining walls at the ap-
proach to the river bridge on the South
Danville side, although it will be left
for Gearhsrt township to do the filling
up. which will be big proposition in
itself.
Mr.. Baylor said that the report made
by the viewers was in favor of the
county building the two high retain
ing walls. The township, he said, it
was understood, did not object to the
filling mp. provided they we're reliev-
ed of the more expensive part Of the
work involved in the retaining walls.
Mr.. Baylor says that the report of
the viewers has already been before
the Judge and that as he understood it
| the County Commissioners were en-
powered to proceed forthwith with the
construction of the retaining walls It
was a matter of much surprise to him
that the work was not begun several
days ago.

are very anxious that the approach
should be constructed by the time the
bridge is completed or as soon after

ing touches are put on the approach

l1ausdale rIan in Bad Upset.

Nicholas Overrender. W no /, employ.
ed at Wise's Hotel, Maustale, was
painfully, and possibly seriously, in.
jured yesterday afternoon, by being
thrown beneath heavy cattle wagon,
that upset on the gravel Jank near
the entrance to the old fair grounds.
Mr.. Overrender was in thiH city yes.
terday, and upon starting home was
able to catch a ride with a farmer,
who was taking a large cattle wagon
in the direction of Mausdale. Near
the gravel bank school house the horses
took fright at a traction eugine. aud
becoming unmanageable. dashed up
the steep bank that bordera the load
at this point. The wagon was upset,
and Mr. Overrender was thrown from
his seat and fell beneath the heavy
vehicle, where he lay pinned to the
earth until assistance could arrive.
Mr.. Overrender was taken to his
home in Mausdsle and DR. Shultz was
summoned from this city He found
the injured man suffering greatly from
the shock of the accident, and badly
bruised especially about the right hip.
1t is possible that internal injuries
may develop.

City Planting a Forest.

Los Angeles, GAL, has 5000 acres of
brush and land called Griffith park
which 1t intends to convert into a
commercial forest. This will be done
as the first instance Of city in the
United States creating a forest. The
practice is quite common in Earope,
where the forest parks have not only
contributed to the pleasure of the peo-
Pile, but have been more than self-sup-
porting through their timber output.
Under Its cooperative effort, the
Bureau Of Forestry had last summer
at Los Angeles four OF it's experts max
ing a comprehensive planting plan for
the forest. The plan was completed at
the end Of September.
What adds to the interest in the
above proposition is the fact that Mr..
Griffith, who presented the above
magnificent park to Los Angeles. was
a Oauville boy and lived here for
many years.

Trout Season Opens Saturday.

Trout fishermen are getting ready
their tackle for the opening of the sea-
son on Saturday and men have been

more. 1t is said that the weather has

tions are good in various small streams
near this city.
In the central section of the State.
Centre. ClearAeld and Clinton coun-
ties. are much sought by trout fisher
men. Wonderful luck usually attend

turned loose In them, and as many more
will be placed there this year. Fishing
along most of these steams is consider
ed almost ideal. They are wide. with
scarcely any brush upon the banks.
Furthermore. wading is easy. Scarce
ly any one goes bait fishing in these
waters. where it is q delight to cast
the seductive fly. 1t is estimated that
at least 6oO.0 900 young fish have been
