MRS. HARE'S STORY.
Mrs. Hare stated positively that
she had no acquaintance with Cours-
ney. that she had never to her knowt
edge, seen him. and that she did not
know man by any such name.
She stated that on the night of the
shooting, she retired sometime be-
tween eleven and twelve o'clock, hay-
ing come home about 10:30. May
Lutsenheimer, a young woman stay
ing at the Hare home. was going out
on No. 4, early in the morning and
that that train was three hours late,
and she went back to her bed, but
a short time afterward was disturb
ed to someone rapping at the door,
the rapplng being repeated few
minutes afterward. Mrs. Hare states
that she went to the door and said
who is it and what do you want?@
There was no reply. but repe-
tition of the rapping. Again Mrs.
Hare asked the name and business
of the intruder. and again there was
no reply.
Then she threatened to shoot un-
less the person at the door made
answer and when the rapping was
repeated, she shot, intending to shoot
in the air and attract attention and
help. She was compelled to unlock
the door to fire, but Immediately clos

chen and laid the gun down on a
table. Not frightened away by the
first shot, the visitor raped and

is watched night and day lest in his
delirium he should slip beneath the
surface and drown. He is fed and
sleeps in the water, and there is now
hope of saving his life.
The water, which is constantly
changed, is kept at temperature of
1O4 degrees and a weak solution OF
antiseptic is added to it.
When the treatment was determined
on he was almost at the point of death,
but an Improvement is now reported.
The water absorbs all the impurities
discharged by the skin and supports
the patients weight, two advantages
which make all the difference be-
tween life and death.
This bath treatment was first recon-
mended by an Arabian doctor about
fifteen years ago. In some cases, such
as typhoid fever, it has been found
most successful in reducing the tenn
perature when the cold pack of ice
and other resources had failed. 1t is
pointed out, however, that it should
only be carried out under expert adj
vice.

REPUBLICANS GETTING READY
Members of G. o. p. of Tennessee Are
Laying Plans for Their State
Convention.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, March 1.-THE
republican state executive committee
of Tennessee met at the Maxwell
House at 10 o'clock this morning in
answer to the call issued by the chair
man, J. c. R. Mccall, for the purpose
of selecting time and place for hold
ing the state convention in which can
fifates for governor and railroad COM
missioner shall be nominated and 9th
er business may be transacted.
The committee consists of thirty-two
members, two from each of the ten
congressional districts of the state
and twelve from the state at large.
The latter members were appointed
by the permanent chairman of the
last state convention In addition to
fixing the time and place for the next
state convention the committee, unde,
the precedents of the republican party,
will also fix the basis of representa-
ton in the convention. For many
years this basis has been one delegate
for every 200 votes or fractional part
thereof, cast for the republican presi
Dental electors in the preceding ma
tional election. Upon this basis, and
there is no probability that it will be
changed the convention will have
about 525 votes.
1t has been suggested that an ef
fort would be made to have the COM
mittee rescind the action taken two
years ago in providing that hereafter
admission to the convention hall
would be by certificate only, from the
secretary of the state committee.
1t is not likely, however, that the
committee will make any such change
in the rules.

DENIES He HAS PRESIDENTIAL BEE
Secretary Of War Taft Declares the
Idea of His Candidacy Is Pre-

ST. LOUIS, March 7.-William H.

guest of honor tonight at the annual
banquet of the Western Federation of
Yale clubs, declared in an interview
before the banquet that he is not now
and will not be a candidate for presi.

the frequent mention of mis- name as

secretary smiled and said:

is preposterous. l am only considering
The matter jocularly-in no sense seri.

Secretary Taft does not agree with
the expressed view of military authori-
ties that the United States is apt to
have war with China.

peated," said he, but the government
of China has much better control over
the masses now than a few years ago,

"RoCKEY" JR. DEFENDS CORNER
Says He Sees in Joseph's Work in
Egypt Justification for Oil
Schemes.

NEW YORK, March by defend
ing Joseph's action in cornering the
food supply during the seven years OF
plenty and selling it to the people in
the seven years of famine, John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., in his bible class
made the first real public defense, by
intimation, of similar methods adopted
by his father in building up the Stand
ard Oil monopoly. Middle-aged and
old men crowded the pews of the Fifth
Avenue Baptist church when Mr..
Rockefeller began to speak, there be-
ing in all Pol members present.
Mr. Rockefeller made the point that
Josephs foresight and ability saved
the people of Egypt from starvation,
being unprecedented in all the great
famines of history. Furthermore, &C
cording to the best commentators on
the subject, Joseph, in storing the
food. exacted only one-fifth of the reg
ular crop from each farmer, this one
fifth being really only the tax each
man had to pay to support the gov
eminent.
Joseph not only knew the famine
was coming. but all Egypt knew it.
Anyone could have stored up the food
in anticipation of it, but, said Mr..
Rockefeller, Joseph knew, as we all
do, that it is difficult to get the people
to look ahead and provide for emergen-
cies of this kind 1t required man of
Joseph's foresight to do this, and 10
seph did the people a great service
thereby.
In conclusion. Mr.. Rockefeller said:
Let us so live that we can walk along
the street and look everyone in the eye
unf1inchingly."

MINNIE HEALY MINE.
First of Many Cases in Famous Copper
Litigation Is Disposed Of.

BUTTE, Mont, March 7.-Striking
a demurrer from the records of Judge
Bouquins court today in the celebrat-
ed s10OOO,O00 Minnie Healy mine suit,
marked the beginning of the settlement
of all cases now pending between f.
Aug. Heinze and the Amalgamated.
This settlement is the result of the
taking over of the Heinze mines by the
Cole syndicate. In a short time,
sweeping motion will be made to dis
miss all actions now pending, consist
ing of more than 100 cases and involv-
ing untold millions.
The Minnie Healy fight will be re-
membered as the most bitter and by
far the most fiercely fought contest in
the annals of Butte litigation. In 1t
figured the Ada Bracket scandal IN
which Judge E. w. Harvey, who first
awarded the mine to Heinze, was ac-
cused Of being influenced by the Brack-
EFT woman, engaged for the purpose
by Heinze. The epistles passing De-
tween the two were interrupted by
Amalgamated detectives. The alleged
offer of $3.50, 900 to Harvey by Amalga-
mated lawyers, and Charles w. Clark,
son Of Senator Clark, to confess he
was bribed, was also a feature.

Cutting OFF Appropriations Said 10
Be Serious.
NOT MONEY ENOUGH FOR CONTINGENCIES
FUND ALLOTTED TO PENSACOLA
NAVY YARD WON'T MEET
ELECTRIcL LIGHT EXPENSE.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March T.
The navy department has begun to
hear from the commandments of navy
yards, who have just received the in
structions from Washington to reduce
all expenses in the way of mainte
nance and to discharge many Of the
employees to bring the cost of opera
ton and protection of property within
the limited amount required by the re-
fusal of congress to provide a urgent
deficiency appropriation for the re-
mainder of the fiscal year
Rear Admiral Coghlan, commandant
of the Brooklyn navy yard, says: THE
effect Of the reduction of funds seri-
ously cripples the service; the balance
is insufficient to carry on maintenance
work in an efficient manner"
Similar conditions are reported from
other yards and stations elsewhere.
From Pensacola it is stated that the
money at the disposal of the yard will
not suffice for the operation of the
electric light plant alone for six
months, to say nothing of doing other
work devolving upon those in charge
Of protecting public property. In ad
dition, it is reported, the station is
left without the means of protection
against an outbreak of yellow fever in
the spring and summer, and this is a
feature which has more than merely
local effect. There is no way out of
the difficulty. Congress has made no
provision for meeting the deficiency,
and there is nothing to do but cut
down the expenses and make the avail
able funds go as far as they may.
Whatever cost may result from this
form Of economy will have to be borne
later.

CURE FOR A POKER FIEND
IrresistIble Passion for the Game
Cooled by Salt water
DuclxinG.

1.-The most peculiar case l ever had"
said the old doctor, was that of n young
man who possessed an uncomfortable mania
for playing poker. This mania finally be-
came so acute that the most strenuous ef
forts of his father and the family doctor to
cure him were fruitless The young man
was the son and heir OF a wealthy southern
planter. When the boy reached his ma
jority his father insisted upon my desert
ing a growing practice and dcvoting my
self exclusively TO his SON. The poker
mania was his sole weakness For his
cure l was promised compensation that
would have tempted any young practi-
toner.
1.-THE planter told me that at any early
age the boy had evinced a surprising fond
ness for cards He had frequently locked
himself in his room, and even the sound OF
the dinner bell would not tempt him from
solitaire and the study of games of chance,
Instead of the ordinary liking for poker,
he suddenly acquired an uncomfortable pas
sion for the game.

bined efforts and watehfulness failed 10 ef-
