The supreme court at Hamburg. Ger

In the oyster.
A young woman who was eating oys-
tiers In n restaurant found n pearl worth
$3.50. Naturally she claimed II. 4
young man who had paid for the young
woman's oysters was gallant enough to
support her claim. Findings keep
ings" seems to be rule peculiar to no
country. But the hard hearted restau-
rant keeper wanted the pearl too. So
he sued to recover It. II the chicken
bones belonged to him. why not the
oyster shells-and this particular pearl?
When the case came to trial the court
held that the disputed pearl belonged
neither to the young woman who found
It nor to the restaurant keeper who
sold the oysters. BY right 1t went to
the young man who paid for the oys-
tiers. AS he had already declared that
1t belonged to his fair companion. he
was doubtless logical enough to give
Il to her and she grateful enough to
take 1t and him. Romance has its re-

TAFT is GOING TO PANAMA
Secretary of War Planning n Trip to
the Canal Site During the
Month of November.

Washington, Oct. 9.-Following the
announcement that it had been decided
to make no change regarding the de-
partment of the government which
should control the affairs of the Pam
ANA canal, Secretary Taft announced
that he would go to the isthmus, unless
something unforeseen prevents. He
will leave Washington about the first
week in November, although conditions
may be such, that he will be delayed
until the 18th. The decision to keep
the control of the canal in the war de-
partment, instead of transferring it to
the state department was definitely
reached in discussion that followed
a cabinet meeting. When Secretary
Taft returns from New York, in few
days, he will take up the question of
the finances of the isthmian canal COM
mission with President Roosevelt The
great problem to be decided is whether
the work on the isthmus shall be car
ried on by money obtained by appro-
priations from congress, or whether con-
gress shall be asked to authorize the
issue of Panama bonds, the proceeds
of which will be applied to the con-
struction of the canal.

BOSTON BARBOR MYSTERY
The story of the Crime Told by Kate

She Witnessed 1t.

Boston, Oct 6-The police are ap-
palled by the narrowing story unfold.

who told, between gasps of suffering
and long lapses into terrified silence,
how she stood by and saw the body
Of the girl victim of the mysterious
suit case murder cut to pieces, packed
and delivered to the slayer's aids, who,
she declared, threw it into the harbor
at Winthrop.
She said the body was that of Miss
Mary Ella Kelly, former belle of
Lewiston, Me. The operation which
resulted in Miss Kelly's death was per-
formed, she said, by an East Boston
physician, whom she named, and the
crime was committed in roadhouse,
near Plaistow, N. H. Kate Mayo says
she nursed the girl, and, after her
death, saw the doctor cut up the body
and later put the corpse in suit case,
which he gave to two young men, one
Of whom was Miss Kelly's sweetheart
with instructions to take it to Win
throp and throw it into the harbor.
The police do not give the story full
credence. as Kate Mayo's reputation for
truthfulness is not the best.

The WRECK or THE ST. PAUL


Eureka, CAL, Oct. 7.-Fast upon the
rocks, one and one.half miles south Of
Point Gorda, the San Francisco & Port
land Co.'s steamer, ST. Paul, Capt.
Randall, lies o total wreck. Its SO pas
sengers and crew OF 65 men are safe.
Some are on board of the steamer
Pomona, en- route to San Francisco,
but the greater number are in Eureka,
having arrived on the tug Ranger and
the steamer Vanguard. The captain
and most of the crew are in Eureka.
The steamer passengers suffered
much from exposure, and number of
them tainted when they realized their
peril.
J. F. Wickman, of San Francisco,
who arrived here on the Vanguard,
gave the following account OF the
wreck.
"The first bump was as though we
were rushing over stones. There was
a short interval Of quiet, then severe
rumbling, throwing the boat from side
to side. I jumped from my berth and
opened the door. It was raining, and
the deck was apparently deserted,
thought we had been struck by some
heavy sea. Just then heard some bells
ringing and loud talk and knew that
we were in for it.
II saw officers and members of the
crew awakening the passengers. Some
women were in a state of excitement
After making q poor attempt at dress
Ing, they appeared to gain control OF
themselves, when assured by the off,
GERS that they had plenty of time.
Il left the ship in the second boat
We stood by the steamer according to
instructions from the captain, when q
heavy fog shut down and we put out
to sea. Two hours later we sighted the
st. Paul and shortly after the Ranger
hove in sight"
Capt. Randall says the disaster was
due to the thick fog and attaches
blame to no one.
The vessel will prove total wreck
The cargo, LOO tons of miscellaneous
freight, will also be total loss.

EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS
The Volume of Early Fall Trade,
While Not Quite So Active, still
Larger Than Expected.

New York, Oct. -Bradstreet's
weekly review says:
While not SO active as in recently
preceding weeks, the volume of trade
still.exceeds expectations. Contributing
to this are better reports from retail
lines, necessitating recorders of reason
able goods, fall festivals, enlarging
crop movement and continued i'm
mense turnover in idustrial lines. Com
plants as to car shortages increase,
the grain, coal, coke, iron and lumber
trades all reporting congestion from
this cause. Undiminished activity is
witnessed in the iron trade, demand for
crude and finished products surprising
previous years at this period. Higher
levels of future cost, particularly as to
coke and ore, confront these trades.
Collections for the country as whole
are good. Money is still moving to the
country and while in liberal supply
for ordinary trade purposes, higher
quotations at home and abroad seem
certain. Bank clearings testify to new
heights being reached for this season
of the year.

MOSQUITO EXPERIMENTS
viii Be Conducted During Winter
by Louisiana Professors.

bY LOUISIANA ErO1eSSorS.
Baton Rouge, La, Oct. 9.-The
Louisiana State University announces
that DR.. ]. w. Dupree will conduct ex-
periments during the winter for the pur-
pose of ascertaining definitely the effect
of cold weather on stegomyia fasclata
mosquitoes. DIR. Dupree does not be-
lieve from his past experiments with the
stegomyia mosquito that it hibernates
during the winter as an adult, but he
believes that the first cold spell kills the
stegomyia and that it hibernates in its
egg.
There is, however, difference of opin-
ION among the scientists upon this ques-
tion, and it will be finally determined
during the winter months. Whether a
stegomyia mosquito that has fed upon
the blood of yellow fever patient can
transmit its poison to its eggs is an
other question that will be finally deter
mined upon this winter DR.. Dupree
expects to make some experiments along
this line.
DIR. Dupree will let some mosquitoes
feed on yellow fever patient and will
keep their eggs through the winter and
then send them to the United States
Government to experiment with, as a
citizen would not be allowed to do such
dangerous experimenting under the
laws of Louisiana.

DECIDED NOT TO OPEN

Peoria, ILL.,, Oct. 7.-As direct result

dent, announced shortly after midnight

rectors lasted all evening behind closed
doors. 1t was admitted that disas-
trous run would be inevitable, and the
only recourse was to liquidate at once.
The loan of 100000 by the Peoria
clearinghouse was tied up in such
wise that it could not be accepted. It
was learned that quiet Withdrawals
from the bank had been going on all
day, most of the calls coming from
banks in neighboring towns. The bank
was capitalized at 100000.

One OF the BLACKLIST ever committed in
Fulton county must go unavenged,

is here with his famous bloodhounds.
The hounds trailed the assassins from
the barn, where Roach was shot, to the
road where the fugitiyes had left their
horses, ands OF course, lost the trail
there.
1t is now generally believed that the
assassination of Prof. Roach was the re-
suit of pEell-laid and carefully-exe-
cuted plot. 1t is also believed that
others than the two men who did the
killing were concerned in the plot.
Other families in this Reighborhood
have been intimidated by this gang,
and should they know who committed
the dastardly crime 1t is doubtful If
they would appear as witnesses against
them. just a few nights before the
killing Mr.. Roach reproved several
young men for misbehaving at a pro-
tracted meeting. Theyoung men did not
openly resent the reproof, but several
threats were made against Mr.. Roach.
The officers have rigidly examined
several of the young men who were
heard to utter these threats, but no
arrests have been made. These young
men all belong to prominent families.
