AMERICAN GRAIN
TO SOUTH RUSSIA

New York, Nov. 2O.-The ship
ment Of cargo of 10000 bushels
OF grain from gulf ports direct to
Odessa was announced on the Pro-
duce exchange today. This is believ-
ed TO be the first instance in a num-
Der Of years in which the United
States has shipped direct to south
ern Russia. 1t Is usual to ship the
surplus product OF the Russian
fields TO European cities.
The shipment is due TO the fact
that the Russian government has
sharply advanced railroad freight
rates. 1t Is believed to indicate that
the foreign demand for American
wheat this winter viii be heavy.

WOMAN CONTINUES HER
STORY OF LIFE
TRAGEDY
Victims Son Wants Her Pun
iShed For Killing His
Mother.
SAYS FATHERS DEATH
..as WAS NOT ONLY CRIME

Washington, ID. c., Nov. 20.--JThe
trial of Mrs. Bradley today was an
other tale of the love woman bore
man who scorned her, the defend
ant in broken tones, attempting to
tell the jury of what led her to shoot
Arthur Brown and how she per-
formed the act. The jury at times
showed a deep sympathy with the
woman.
Son Wants Her Punished.
Max Brown, son of the slain man,
will hold to his conviction that the
accused should be punished for a
double crime.
Il will not say that 1 hope the
extreme penalty of the law will be
visited upon her." he said today.
"but she should be punished-not
alone because she killed my father,
but because she was the cause of
my mothers death, as well. She is
not on trial for the latter offense,
l know. but It is none the less one
that shall never forget"
one of the memorable characters
in American history, Aaron Burr,
possessed a personality that gave
him a peculiar mastery over women.
He fascinated them, and, possessing
power akin to that of Burr, 1t is
evident that Arthur Brown used It,
He played fast and loose with the
hearts of four women who figure in
the trial now In progress, weaving
into their lives a warp and woof Of
deception and despair. There is but
one whose faith in the murdered
man remains steadfast. She is Mrs.
Annie Adams, mother of Maude Ad-
ans, and Browns financee when a
bullet from the revolver given to
Mrs. Bradley by Brown laid him
low.

8 INCHES IN TEN
HOURS At lOCKHARI
Entire Southern Part of State Is
Flooded. Rivers and Streams
Having Passed the Danger
Point and 1t is Still
Raining.

Houston, Texas, Nov 20.--Since
Saturday rain has fallen almost in
cessantly throughout the southern
part of Texas and in consequence all
the smaller streams are overflowing
and the rivers are at or near flood
stage. The heaviest precipitation is
reported at Lockhart where the rain
guage showed a measurement of s Y
inches between 10 o'clock last night
and al early hour today.
AT Nacogdoches residences along
Bonito creek are under water to the
first floor. fourteen inches of rain
having fallen there.
Much damage to the roads and
farms is being done. The railroad
beds are soft and dangerous. 1t was
still raining today.
Everything Under Water.
The nature of the soil in the south
ern Texas districts is such that water
passes off very slowly and there is
hardly a point in scores of miles that
is not completely flooded. All traf-
fic by wagon Is impossible and the
railroads have almost suspended SER
vice.
Farm houses, barns and granaries
have suffered the most, as the farm
'ers have had no opportunity to care
for their homes or their contents
and have practically lost everything
within reach of the water.
In some instances, scores of cattle
and horses have been drowned,
were allowed to escape to high
ground in time to prevent their
deaths. Standing in water for four
days often three feet deep has caused
hundreds of animals to fall and die
wnere they stood, because they could
not be rescued.
Rain i'm General.
IL, 10 t% a
in mild fashion, giving no warning
of the terrific downpours which were
to follow, hence no one was prepared
for the water. The Heavens seemed
TO open over entire southern Texas
and for days the rain has fallen in
sheets, covering everything, since the
creeks and streams have been utter
ly unable to carry off the surplus
and are themselves causing much
damage with back water and swift
currents.
The rainfall of fourteen inches at
Nacogdoches is unprecedented, al
though that section has often been
visited by heavy rains in the past.
Streets are flooded to a depth of II
feet in the low places and scores of
inhabitants have been driven for
shelter TO the higher parts of the
town. At least one half of the peo-
pie are living I'm the second stories of
their own or their neighbor's homes.
Many Narrow Escapes.
There have been many narrow es-
'capes at Nacogdoches and at Lock-
hart where the heaviest falls occur
red. In attempting to save their be-
lorgings i'm boat. three young men
were thrown into the water at Bonito
creek at the former town and one
was drowned.
Others have met with cold baths
and narrow escapes from drowning
while attempting TO save their prop
erty. 1t is feared that the rains will
undermine the houses which are now
partially under water and cause
their collapse. which mean many
deaths.

STARS Loss WAS
MERELY NOMINAL

Kansas City, Mo, Nov. 20.-The
damage TO the Kansas City Star
plant from water which was poured
into the adjoining Missouri building
Sunday night to extlnguish fire in
the latter structure, was not $25,-
900, and in fact was small. About
fifty tons of paper were destroyed
by the water and the boiler room of
the newspaper plant flooded. The
employees had a bad scare but were
able TO get everything else in the
basement out OF the way.
The loss on the Missouri building
by fire and water exceeds $4,000.

CANADIAN OFFICIAL
MAKES INVESTIGATION
His Visit to Islands Evidently
Slightly DispIeaslng to Japs and
Editorial Is InCited Thereby
---Ready for Nego-
tidtIOns.

Toxic, Japan. Nov. 20.--while
there was no further official action
In connection with the immigration
of Japanese to Canada and the Uni
ted States today. indications point
to the conclusion that Japan prob
ably Is ready to admit that the argu-
ments presented by Ambassador
OBrien, require immediate attention.
Japan is ready to stop all iInmigra-
ton In the interest of peace.
There is reason to expect that af-
ter the arrival of Baron Ishii. chief
OF the bureau of commerce of the
foreign office, who WAS sent to AM
erica as a special commissioner to
inquire into the matter, the Japa-
nese government will undertake the
self imposed task of limiting immi-
grafton within the bounds desired by
both the United states and Canada.
Canadian Commissioners There.
Canadian Commissioner of Labor
Lemiex, who is here actively inves-
tigating the subject, has made no
formal proposal, but II Is understood
that he has plainly indicated that a
prompt curtailment of the number
of emigrants is necessary II Japan
Is sincerely desirous of assisting her
ally In order to avoid serious COM
plication with the British colony.
An editorial in the Jill. which Is
hiSPhcu ny ttC J&HdnS3d
foreign office, says that presumably
Lemieux comes TO Japan asking for
A limited immigration TO Canada
The editorial continues:
I'VE naturally are a peace loving
nation, and il immigration Of Japa-
nese into Canada endangers the pub
lie peace, we will not hesitate to abb
solutely forbid immigration to that
country.
Ready to Stop Immigration.
THE Japanese government Is try
ing to limit immigration according
government Will generously assist us
In reaching a solution OF the prob
lem.
Race hatred is dlscreditable to
Canada.
I'VE believe the Japanese immi-
grafton would promote the welfare
or Canada by developing its re-
sources, but II its peace is disturbed
ii Is better to altogether prevent our
people from emigratfng."
Inspired by Government.
There is no doubt that this edl-
torial was inspired by the govern
ment as 1t is strictly in line with
the ideas advanced by a leading Of
fetal a few days ago. The Jill is
regarded as practically the organ OF
the government and whatever II has
to say editcrially II usually looked
upon as coming direct from the gov
ernment, hence the evident distrust
which the article expresses concern
ing the mission and wishes OF the
Canadian commission may be taken
as official.

found that there was little difference
in the heat values of the diqerent
oils used, but the refined oil proved
to be less trying on the boilers than
crude, or even than coal, and II was
recommended that the oil be "mild-
ly distilled" before being used. II
was concluded that with the use of
oil the forcing of a marine boiler
should be much more readily accom-
plished than with the use of coal.
To Use Both OIL and Coal.
1t is not likely that naval vessels
will ever be fitted 10 burn oil alone.
because there are places where oil
cannot be obtained. The supply of
oil Is more limited than that OF coal,
and the supply Is more likely to be-
come exhausted, in the opinion OF
geologists; yet as the United States
produces about 4s per cent Of the
worlds supply Of oil It will become
a factor in the naval fuel question
1t has been proved, contrary 10 gem
eral belief, that under forced draft
oil makes as much or more smoke
than coal.

Only Christian Names Signed by Ma
iority of Members of ROYAL HOUSE.

lS''Ng y " ~ "
From I. P.'s Weekly.
The origin of most royal houses was
similar throughout Europe. and kings and
their families, speaking broadly, never had
or used surnames. They signed their
Christian names alone.
So universally was this the case that 1t
became rigid etiquette that q person of
royal birth should not use a surname
though there have been numbers of cases
OF dynatteo. like our own Stuarts, like the
Ber.iadotte dynasty OF Sweden, or Hike the
Bonaparte family, who unquestionably
and individually had inherited surnames.
But 1t has always been a puzzle why the
cadet Members OF our royal house do not
subscribe themselves as peers by their
peerase designations, as do other peers.
However, the fact is they do not. but Ii
has not been discovered what are the rules
which govern their signatures. The SOW
,ereign signs by the Christian name and
usually adds r." or r.. and t. Princes
princesses sign by their Christian
names and sometimes, but not always, add
the letter "P." When or why this is add
But the habits of royalty lead others into
strange happenings. There was an occa-
sion upon which Queen Victoria after a
i-f, nction" was asked to sign a visitors
book, Her majesty wrote Victoria r. and

wrote Beatrice p" The turn of the local
mayoress came next and she signed
elizabeth" The urname was hastily

to prevent the story gaining currency.
