WHITE MANS AUSTRALIA.
Fanciful Story Brought to Light by a
Brutal Murder.

Special Cablegram to The Star
SYDNEY, Australia. September GA
lad named Brown, only eighteen years OF
age who is about to be tried for the muir
der of an old man and his wife, named
O'keefe and their servant Gillck, tells
an extraordinary story as to his motive
for the crime.
He says he had no grudge against the
O'keefes who had been most kind TO him.
But he was member of a secret society,
whose objects were to start a revolution
in favor of white Australia" The
oaths binding the members were, he de
clares so stringent that he would hang
before he gave the names of his asso-
ciates.
The society was short of funds, and it
was decided that OKeefe's bank boob s
must be stolen. He was deputed for this
work and set out on a Sunday, armed
with a bayonet and a sandbag. He had,
he states, no intention of murder. but
meant merely to stun the old couple by
means of the sandbag.
| He found Mrs. O'Keefe seated by the
| fire and struck her on the head with the
| sar dbag. The bag burst and the old lady
| struck Brown on the neck with a bottle.
MI. OKeefe ran to his wife's' help with a
| gum and then Brown stabbed both of
| them. Gillick appeared at the end of the
| struggle and flung himself on Brown,
| VINO stabbed him as well.
| Brown cannot be induced to express the
| slightest regret for his crimes or to d.
| vuige even the name of the secret society
| at whose orders he attempted the theft.

Trial by Jury Losing Ground.
he London Law Journal.

From the London Law Journal.
Trial by jury continues to decline In pop
ularity in the county courts, notwithstand-
ing the numerical change in the jury and
the increase in the more important cases.
The number of actions determined in 1905
was S75, $50. and only S43 were tried by
juries. This is the lowest number of which
there Is any record in the returns. Juries
have never been much in request in 3e
county courts. The demand for their serv-
ices has actually diminished as the bust
ness of the courts has increased: 1875,
1,O30; 1888, 1,150; 1895, 1,1S6; 1908, S43.
There were ten circuits in 1905 on which
the number of cases tried by juries did not
exceed three On the circuit which includes
Bolton, Wtgan and Oldham not a single
case was tried by jury during the year.
In the employment of jurors, as in the
treatment of debtors, the views of county
court judges differ. The decline of trial by
jury in the county courts may be attributed
not so much to an increasing want of faith
in the institution on the part of litigants
as to the strong prejudice which some coun-
ty court judges exhibit against 1t.

rope, trusting to chance that he himself
might survive the fall while Herr Kuep-

Finally Herr Kueppers cut the rope and
CROPPED his way to safety and told the
mountaneers of this plight of his friend.
A relief expedition found Herr Overbeck's
body at the bottom of the -crevasse next
morning. He had, after his fall, cut steps
almost to the top of the peak. and then
with safety only few feet away, he slip

Special Cablegram to The Star.
DUNEDIN, September 22.-Mr. Gilruth,
the chief government veterinarian, adj
dressing the New Zealand meat exports re-
Gently, said a new trade in boned beef has
sprung up with the old country in the last
year or two.
The boned beef was not the best that
could be bought in the market for the pur-
pose, as 1t consisted of old cows and bulls
and young stock that were neither calves,
teers nor heifers, all in comparatively poor
condition.
The flesh was removed from the bones,
packed in boxes, frozen and sent to Great
Britain, chiefly to Glasgow, where it was
supposed to be required for sausages, meat
pies, etc.
