CONDITION or THE CROPS
COOL WEATHER OF PAST WEEK
DELAYS GROWTH.
Damaging Frosts Reported in Several
states--Corn Planting Makes
n Slow Progress.

Washington, April 26.--The weekly
summary OF crop conditions issued by
the weather bureau Tuesday Is as fol-
lows:
In nearly all districts east OF the
Rocky mountains the week ending
April "a averaged decidedly cool and
was unfavOrable for termination and
growth, damaging frosts occurring as
far south as the northern portions OK
the east gulf states on the 18th. Rains
interrupted work in Texas, Arkansas,
northern Mississippi, Oklahoma, Colo
rado and northern Indiana, while
drought Is becoming serious In cen.
tral and eastern Missouri, and rain
ID needed In Montana, the Dakotas and
New England. The absence OF rain
over the southern portion Of the CEN
trail gulf districts has afforded much
needed opportunity for farming opera
tionB.
Rather slow progress with corn
planting was made during the week,
excepting In Missouri and Kansas,
where this work advanced satisfactor-
ily. Preparations for planting have
been actively carried on In Nebraska.
Iowa and Illinois. but no planting has
been done In these states, except In
southern Illinois
While the growth Of winter wheat
has not been rapid, owing TO the abb
sence OF warmth, the condition Of this
crop continues promising In all dis
tricts.
Spring wheat seeding Is now well
advanced in the northern portion OF
the spring-wheat region and Is prac-
tically finished In the central and
southern portions.
Oats also need warm weather " pro-
mote growth, which has been general
ly slow, but on the whole the outlook
Tor this crop is favorable. Some dam
age by freezing Is reported from South
Dakota and Nebraska.
Cotton planting has been active, un-
der favorable conditions, over most OF
the cotton belt, but was delayed by
rains In Oklahoma and Indian terri
tories, Arkansas and northern Texas.
Fruit prospects have been further
Iessened during the past week
throughout the Ohio valley, east gulf
states and on the Atlantic coast south
Of New England, peaches suffering
most.

DOCTOR CHANGED his MIND
PHYSICIAN TEsTIFIEs IN NAN
PATTERSON TRIAL.
Once Thought Young Had Committed
Suicide, but Has Different
Opinion Now.

New York, April 26--Perhaps the
most interesting development 10 the tes-
timony OF Tuesday In the trial OF Nan
Patterson, charged with the murder OF
Caesar Young, came when Coroner's
Physician O'Hanlon took the witness
stand for the prosecution and said, in re-
ply TO questions, that he had changed his
opinion that Young had committed sui
eide. DR.. o'Hanlon performed the au-
topsy on Youngs body. In his testimony
Tuesday he sald "My present opinion
Is not the opinion formerly expressed
to Coroner Brown" 8JBi '
The counsel for the defense, Lawyer
Levy, asked the doctor:
Did you report this case to Coroner
Brown as one OF suicide?"
When DR.. oHanlon replied In thesaf-
hrmatiye, Mr.. Levy asked: Ia9
do you now say that in your best
judgment 1t is q case OF sulclde?"
mo, won't say that"
"Didn't you say 80 OnceW was asked
II did; but think now II Is a case for
the jury TO decide. thought at the time
that detected powder marks on the
hands Of Caesar Young"
Assistant District Attorney Rand
then produced the Official report OF DR..
o'Hanlon, which did not define the case
as one Of suicide, and the doctor said
that he simply expressed the suicide
opinion In conversation with Coroner
Brown.
After some further questioning, Mr..
Rand asked the witness II he still held
the same opinion that he expressed 10
Coroner Brown, and DIR. OHanlon re.
Piled:
II will only say this, my opinion now
Is not what II was when talked 10 Cor
oner Brown"
This incident came al the close OF the
days proceedings in the trial. When
court opened Miss Patterson appeared
Ia a black and white checked dress, IN
direct contrast 10 the mourning costume
which she has worn during days OF this
and previous trials. khi
At Tuesdays hearing Police Captain
Sweeney told Of conversation ne had
with Miss Patterson soon after her ar
rest, In which she said she had put her
hand In Young's pocket after the shot
had been fired. had looked at the re-
yolyer and then dropped II back In the
pocket. The scenes on West Broadway
where the shooting took place were gone
over by witnesses and the cab driver
who was on the box when Young was
shot was on the stand but the testimony
did not differ materially from that al the
previous trial When Frederick
Michaels, the cab driver was asked why
he did not look In the cab when he heard
the shot fred, he replied; III wasn't
my place Suppose | had looked in and
got shot?"

Tracy, Iowa, April 26.--Frank Sher,
man, aged 10 years, son OF Mrs. Mary
Sherman, residing short distance
north OF this place, was instantly kill
ed near here this morning, being run
over by Wabash coal train. The
boy fell under the wheels and four
coal flats passed over the body, cut
ting 1t in two and literally grinding
the flesh into shreds.
Young Sherman had been at Tracy
on an errand. He noted the coal
train starting for the mines north OF
town and thought to catch on the cars
and ride to the crossing near his
home. The train was moving quite
rapidly. The lad missed his hold and
fell directly upon the track and under
the wheels. The train men saw the
boy fall and the engine was stopped
as soon as possible, but eight pairs Of
wheels had passed over the form be-
fore the cars could be brought TO a
standstill. Death was upon the in.
stant.
