CELEBRATES ANNIVERSARY.
Lumber King of Canada Is Eighty
 Years Old.

Years Old.
 Ottawa. Ont. April 5-John R. Booth, one of the industrial kings of whom Canada is justly proud, celebrated his eightieth birthday today. He bears the burden of his years lightly and Is still in personal charge of the vast indus tries out of which he has made many millions of dollars.
 MT. Booth Is the foremost lumberman of Canada. His timber lands aggre- gate 4,250 square miles, and if stretch ed in a line would make a strip one mile wide from the Atlantic to the Pa cific across Canada. His great mills employ 1,500 to 1900 men during the summer. or saving season. and 400 in the winter. while in the latter season there are between 2,0O0 and 5000 men felling the great trees which ultimately reach his lumber yards. Most of his timber lands are adjacent to the upper Ottawa, in both ontario and Quebec.
 As a boy In the eastern part of Que bee, where he was born, his mind ran to waterwheels, and his boyish diver sions were along the line of building miniature devices to use the power of running water in the ineighboring brook. Farm life did not appeal to him. and at the age of 21 he sought employment in the construction of the Central Vermont Railway, then being built across the International border, and he worked there for several years as a bridge carpenter. Coming to By town, the present city of Ottawa, in 1852, he was attracted by the power possibilities of the Chaudiere Falls, and he has almost ever since been one of the largest users of its energies. He rented a small sawmill for year, and

 San Francisco, April 5.--The trial of Abraham Ruef on charge of extortion has been postponed until next Monday morning. When tho case closed yes- terday five jurors had been selected, subject to peremptory challenge which 1t has now been decided will be de- ferred until twelve men have been ex- anlined and passed.
 It has just heen learned that the ex boss will present a contract In evil dence as a basis If lis chief defense In the case now before the court and also on the other indictments charging him with extortion in the French restau- rant cases. showing that he was re. tained as counsel fer the men whom he IS accused of mulcting.
 This contract will show, it is calm ed by Ruefs attorneys, that he was retained to act as counsel for the res- tauranters for two years, at an annual salary of $5.000. They will contend that 1eRe significant detail of the con tract Is that 1t was made to extend Schmitz and that this shows that the relations between Ruef and the res- taurant men were the ordinary reIa- tiors between an attorney and his cli- ents.
 The case of Louis Glass. former man aser of the Pacific States Telepho 1e and Telegraph Company, under nine indictments for bribery has been post poned until next Thursday. It is not known yet what Glass will plead to the charge now before the court.

then, when the owner wanted to raise the rent he cancelled the arrangement and built a mill for himself. From this small beginning his business stead fly grew until in comparatively few yers he became the Humber king" of Canada.

Summers's wife came to him and said Marsh had tn- suited her by an indecent proposition. In the quarrel which followed Summers killed Marsh.
 { Sanders White. a negro. is to be released on May 13. He was convicted of assault with intent to murder by the Circuit Court of, Pike County in the fall of 1905 and sentenced to prison for two years. with nine months add ed for costs unpaid. White was sem fenced to hard labor instead of to the penitentiary and his term Is therefore. not abbreviated by good behavior. as 1t would have been in the penitentiary. but heightened by Costs which would have not been added to his penalty if he had been sentenced to the peniten- tiary, The order of release was made in accordance with recommendation by the Pardon Board.

MYSTERY DEEPENS
JEFFERSON COUNTY CORONER
 CONTINUES TO PROBls.
Crew of Southern Railway Train That Passed over Body Tcstify That
 Man Was Dead or Asleep.

Birmingham, April 5.--Mystery as to the manner in which J. E. Drake. a section foreman of the Alabama Great Southern railroad, met Iris death deer- ems as the coroner contiues to probe.
 Members of the crew of the South ern railway passenger train which ran over the body and severed tho head were summoned before Coroner Paris this morning. Their evidence was talk en down tn writing and will be read before the cononer's jury at Bessemer tomorrow. when the inquest will be held
 The body was discovered on the rail- road track just below Bessemer at o'clock yesterday morning. The first man to see it was F. H. Little. Jr., en- gineer of Southern passenger train No. 121. which left Birmingham at 12:45 for Mobile. He blew his whistle end applied the emergency brakes, but the train passed over the mans neck before 1t was stopped. The fireman, Fred Sullivan, also saw the man and his testimony before the coroner went to show that Drake was either dead or asleep. The engineers testimony was along the same line. He said that the man never moved and that his neck was across the rail, the feet being away from the track.
 W. A. Cobb the oA lductor; o. C.
  Daffin. Jr., the flagman, all testified about the sudden blast of the whistle and the application of the emergency brakes. That substlntiated what the engineer said about seeing the body and trying to stop.
 The testimony will be continued be- fore the jury at Bessemer tomorrow, at which time the crew of an Alabama Great Southern passenger train, which was about ten minutes ahead of the Southern passenger train. will he ques- toned. The coroner says that the man either laid down on the track, af- ter the first passenger went by, or the body was placed there by others. The coroner so far cannot account for the knife found under the body, near the right hand, and he Is not thoroughly convinced that the hole in the mans head was made by bullet. He says that the mans watch was found on his body and for that reason he cannot figure out low robbery was the mo- tive for murder
 According to a statement made, by Mrs Dalton. with whom Drake board ed the knife found near him was not the murdered mans property.
 The remains of the unfortunate man - shipped by Kennedy Bros to Faulksv.lle, last night, and the funeral will take r,laco at the late home of the deceased today.
 J. c. and w D. Drake. brothers of thea unfortunate man, took charge of the~remains after the coroner had em- pannelled his jury and the physician lad made a thorough examination for traces of foul play

 When asked in whet battles he ger sonally took part. the general said 1t was he who commanded the troops that endeavored to recapture TruxAlo.
 Tt was not successful so far as my taking the town from the vile invaders. but 1t proved the great bravery Of my men," he said.
 No, I did not have single Amer ican fighting under me. We If Hon. duras do n ot need any but the brave patriots of our own. land to win our battles. I deployed my army in the rear Nof Truxillo and vas all ready to capture the place when my scouts from the front brought me word that the en- emy was about to attack us in superior numbers, and I accordingly :etreated."
