Not Occur-One Bloodless
Duel Fought.

FISH LIVE OUT OF WATER
"A Germans Device Keeps Them Alive
With Oxygen.

Washington. July "a method discov-
cred by a German of shipping fish without
water, and keeping them alive and in per-
feet condition as long as four or five days,
is described in a report by Consul General
Guenther at Frankfort, Germany. Tho
method is based on the fact thai fish re-
quire oxygen. which their gills take from
the water. just as the human lungs take
oxygen from the air.
Discovering that many kinds of fish
would live long out of water IL their gills
were kept wet, the German experimenter
conceived a plan of putting the live fish
into y Theoretically sealed shipping box
containing u small amount OF water
soaked cloths, from which moisture kept
the air saturated. This prevented tho
evaporation of the moisture from the gills.
Then a supply of oxygen was introduced
through a tube into the box. Under this
process the fish lived, and after four DAYS.
when placed IN water, were apparently as
lively as ever.

DESSICATED MILK.
Swedish Doctor Makes Important Food
Discovery.

STOCKHOLM. July 1N.-Erenberg, a
Swedish doctor has just discovered a
process by which he can onvert fresh
milk into a powder soluble in water.
BY the new process the ordinary milk
is eliminated of all water, and is dried
gradually. The lumpy substance which
is left is then ground nto fine powder.
The milk powder contains all the ele-
ments Of pure milk and retains the nat
ural flavor.
For all purposes the dried milk can
replace fresh milk. 1t can be used in
tea and coffee: it is suitable for infants.
cry it is better than the ordinary fluid.
Cheese and butter can also be made
from the powder.

HARTlE'S OWN EXPERT
SAYS %"FORGERlES"
Handwriting Authority Refuses to Tes-
fifty for Employer After Ex-
iminino Letters.


Pittsburg. Pa. July 1l.-One OF his
own experts has pronounced forgeries
letters introduced by Augustus Hartje.
millionaire paper manufacturer. In his
suit for divorce from Mrs. Mary Scott
Hartje. one of the most beautiful wom-
en- in Pittsburg. Furthermore. this
same expert-T. Nj. Williams. who is
recognized as among those at the head
| of his calling in Observation-Disclosures that
IL sample of Mrs. Hartte's handwriting
furnished him by Hartje is u forgerya
too. Dr.
Williams was employed to examine
letters full of passion, said to have
passed between Mrs. Hartje and Tom"
Nadine. q coachman employed by
Hartte. The expert has announced that
ne would fatty refuse to go on the
stand and testify in favor OF Rartje-
He said:
"First. they gave me two letters. one
OF which was written on q scrap OF
paper, and told me that was Mrs.
hIartje's handwriting and that the oth7
er was a forgery. 1 examined them
and decided both We're forgeries.
Then 1 went to the office of Attorney
Freeman, Mrs. Hartje's lawyer, and
asked for a sample of her writing. He
gave it to me and I compared it with
the letters. They didn't look the sama
to me. All the letters looked like for
,geries."
; Nadine has admitted that his trunk
WAS robbed, presumably by a private
detective who used the name of Craig.
Mrs. Hartje's lawyers are searching
for Craig. to bring a criminal suit
against him. They say they expect TO
get him soon.
Mrs. Hartje's lawyers have employed
Handwriting Experts Lewis and Car
,valhoe. of New York. who figured in
the Molineux poison case, to combat
the evidence of experts for Hartje.
John S. Booth, assistant district at
Itorney. now threatens prosecutions
against Hartje and his friends in con-
,nection with an assertion by Hartje
that his wife visited the Lincoln hotel
with a millionaire business man. Mrs
fHartje's lawyers tried to force Hartje
to name the man, but he succeeded in
avoiding doing so. Now almost every
Ione in Pittsburg knows to whom Hartje
je referred. He has visited the district
attorney, and wants satisfaction for
being placed i'm a false and hu%niliating
position, as he says.
Both Mrs. Hartje and her father,
John Scott, are Frustrated by the trial.
Scott is confined to his room, but hopes
soon to be out to attend the trial. Mrs.
lHartje says she is confident of VIM
ming he case and retaining possession
of her children.

DEATH PENALTY SURVIVES.
Bill of Lower House of Russian Par
Lament Defeated

st. Petersburg. July 9.-The bill of the
lower house Of parliament for the aboli-
tion Of the death penalty went on the
rocks Saturday in a caucus of the centrists
and the council of the empire, a majority
Of which was opposed to its acceptance in
dts present form. The substitution OF a
measure %abrogating the provision of the
code whereby civilians come under the
jurisdiction of the military courts in "a
state of exceptional security" a minor
form of martial law which is the chronic
status of n.ne-tenths of Russia, will solid
ify the parliamentary opposition to the
ministry.
This rejection of the first fruits of the
legislation of the lower house revived the
old demand for the abolition of the council
of the empire as a wall between the en-
peror and the people.
