semi-Centennial Bill in Doubt.

In a previous letter l stated that
the bill providing S1,500,0O0 for the
Semi-centennial celebration under the
auspices of the State Fair association
would pass. 1t did look that way at
that time, but it looks considerable
different now. The proposition that
the State Fair association would pay
the entire sum back from returns
seemed so fair and probable that
thought it would go through, but it
seems now as if it was very doubtful
of success. This is probably great
mistake, but the members of the legis-
lature are inclined to be very prudent.
This exposition is something which
would interest every resident of the
state and especially the farmers, SO
that it would seem to be in the public
interest.
The question of the capitol ap-
proaches" is another matter which is
under the harrow. A change of plan
has been inaugurated by st. Paul and
1t is now proposed to have the city
shoulder all the responsibility for the
bonds, principal and interest, and only
ask the state to buy some surround
Ing property to help carry out the
capitol approaches" scheme. 1t looks
as if this was the best that can be
done under the circumstances and
perhaps even this cannot be done.
There is evidently a great fear that
the general appropriation bill will

jacent curb and shall come through the
wall of the building in horizontal direc-

five degrees from the horizontal. sign

building upon which shall be placed the

No departure from the provisions of this

NEW YOEN January 9.-Dur-rg the
first hour of business the transactions in the
stock market were characterized by great
irresularity and in some instances there
appea red to be a renewal of the liquidation

ever by any means urgent or general

the first half hour of trading the pressure
seemed to be lifted almost entirely from

SLOW PROGRESS MADE
TRIAL OF MRS. MAXCY AND PAUL
MEAGHER

But little progress was made this morn
ing in the trial of Mrs. Kate Maxcy, alias
Kate Ellis. and Paul Meagher for an al
legged criminal operation on Miss Claudia
Parrish. a sixteen-year-old girl who died
at Columbia Hospital June % last. large
portion of the morning session was con-
sumed by the arguments of counsel on the
question Of the admissibility of the alleged
confessions of the two defendants which
were offered in evidence by the government
just before the court adjourned yesterday.
Standing room in the court was again at
premium today.
At the conclusion of the arguments JUS
tice Stafford declined to admit the alleged
confessions in evidence. The court review
ed the history of the right of all accused
persons not to be compelled to bear witness
against themselves and declared that the
confession secured by detectives at police
headquarters in response to an injunction,
You had better tell the TRUTH or such,
was not a free and voluntary act.
The first witness called today was DR..
Louis A. Walker. who testified that In
the latter part of last May Claudia Parrish
and her sister. Mae Brooke. called to see
him and that he was informed by the girl
now deceased that her condition was abb
normal. but attributed the cause to a cold,
cine.
S. Nee. Hawken. clerk of the court was
next sworn and testified that the records of
the court show that no license was ever
issued to the defendant Maxcy to practice
medicine in this District.
Governments Case Closed.
After recess the government offered to
call Matron Thornburg of the house of
detention to testify as to an alleged con-
fession made to her by Mrs. Maxey while
in custody The defense objected and after
an argument Justice Stafford declined to
admit the testimony. The prosecution
noted ar exception to the ruling, as we'll
as to the decision to exclude the alleged
signed confessions secured by the .,olice at
headquarters.

called to prove that house Al G street
southwest and the Columbia Hospital are
within the District. The government Their
announced the close Of it's case.
Attorney John G. Cuttings, representing
the defendant Meagher. made a motion to
instruct the jury to return a verdict of not
guilty as to that defendant. Justice Stat
ford excused the jury until tomorrow
morning and the arguments on the motion
were in progress at the close of this re-
port.

MASONIC FAIR PLANS.
Meeting Of Board Of Control to Discuss
Prelimiaaries.

Exhortations to committee chairmen to get
down to hard work for the fair were given
last night at the meeting of the board of

held in Convention Hall April Is to May l

last meeting to define the duties of the va
rious committees reported last night. F..
A. Sebring, the chairman. outlined the
work of each committee, ant, laid out plans
that will keep all the members hustling
until after the fair is over.
Many applications for space at the fair
have been received, but they are referred
