Unen have his testimony usssssa
9Halnst him when the second trial for
hls life begins. No lawyer who would
psrgft a client to do such a thing
would be worthy of the name" v
AS. to Pettibone, Darrow said, the
circumstances were much the same,
Hs is to be tried for his life for the
murder of Steunenberg. Pettibone he
described as an easy going, big heart
ed fellow who had allowed the crea
ture Orchard to work his way into his
house. 1t was more important for
Pettibone to wait and take the stand
In his own behalf than to lay himself
open In the trial Of Haywood, much as
Petttbone would have liked to testify
for the prisoner now at the bar.
The reason the defense put Moyer
on the stand, while he too is awaiting
trial, Darrow said, Is that there is no
evidence of any sort for Meyer to ex-
plain. He expressed the belief that
Meyer never would be tried, for he
did not believe that prosecution
even so foolish as the one against
Haywood would dare to put man ON
trial with such flimsy evidence as
could be entered against Meyer.
Mr.. Darrow demanded to know why

CONSIDER TERMS LIBERAL
Japanese Opinion of New Convention
With Korea,

Toxic, July The manner in
which the news of the convention be-
tween Japan and Korea has been gen
orally received is indicative of satis-
faction. It is felt among the we'll in
formed that Japan might have been
more exacting in her terms, curtailing
even the Korean imperial authority by
suggesting the rescript subject to the
approval of the Japanese resident gen.
eral. The avoidance of such a de-
mand, 1t is believed, was purely out
OF consideration for the prestige of
the Korean court. The extension Of
the power of the resident general SO
that he may appoint his nominees to
responsible positions in the Korean
government is especially welcomed in
Japan as one of the surest means Of
preventing the adoption Of any meas
ure hostile to the Japanese or detri-
mental to the interests of Korea. 1t
is expected that the freer hand Japan
is now able to exercise in Korea will
soon be manifested by the peaceful
development of the peninsula and the
maintenance of order in the Far East.

AMENDED REGULATIONS.
New Rules Governing Manufacture Of
Denatured Alcohol.


Washington, July q Amended de-
natured alcohol regulations have been
issued by the commissioner of internal
revenue to take the place on Sept 1
Of the regulations heretofore issued
and are made necessary by the act
passed by the last congress.
Under the new regulations, in addi.
tion to denatured warehouses on dis
tillery premises, central denaturing
warehouses may be constructed at
such points as business interests may
require and alcohol may be transferred
from denaturing warehouses by means
OF tanks or tank cars to consumers.
Manufacturers using completely de-
natured alcohol are not required to
swear to application for permit and a
permit when secured continues in
force until revoked and retail dealers
In denatured alcohol are not required
to keep a record of any kind. Indus
trial or farm distilleries may produce
alcohol from anything that contains
fermentable matter. At these distil-
leries one room may be used as a
combined cistern, distillery warehouse
and denaturing warehouse.
Industrial distilleries are divided
Into two classes. In the first class are
placed distilleries of surveyed capac-
ity of fifty proof gallons or less of
spirits In twenty-four hours. At such
distilleries storekeeper gaugers are
not regularly assigned unless the col.
lector certifles that in his opinion the
presence or an O1uCor AZ paru1Uu1a1
distillery Is necessary.
Distilleries of the second class are
those that produce more than fifty
gallons and less than 100 gallons of
distilled spirits daily. At distilleries
Of this class an officer will be reg.
ularly assigned unless the collector
shall certify that the distillery can
safely operate without one.

In May made an attempt to murder
the inspector of the political prison
here, wounding him with~~a pistol
which had been mysteriously smug-

The authorities made every effort
during the past fortnight to persuade
the woman to plead for the mercy of
the emperor, but this she obstinately
refused to do. Her parents interceded
with the throne in her behalf, but
their efforts were unavailing.
Madame Fromkina was not charged
with actual murder, but was accused
OF making several Intellectual attempts
to Kill officials. 1t is believed that her
mind was unbalanced and that she
suffered from hysteria.
