PROOFS SHATTERED.
One Remark Breaks Down Strong
Chain OF Evidence.

SNal0 Oh ENllleICe,
Circumstancial evidence as proof
in murder trial had another throw
down in Jpdge Chetla;n's court in
Chicago. H., last week. The case
was that of the state against Angelo
Serpico, charged with the killing of
Salvatore E. Serpico in barroom
fight. The state had built strong
structure of evidence in proof Of the
mans guilt. The case was about to
close when the fine structure went up
like bubble.
DR.. Warren Hunter, coroner's ply
sician, on cross examination. stated
that Salvatore Serpico was killed by
/ a bullet from 32-calibre revolver.
The defendants revolver was 3S-
calibre The. defendant has insisted
that ne was innocent. Here is the
question that ruled the verdict:
by the way, DIR. Hunter, Mr..
Hanlon. attorney for the defendant,
asked, "have you the bullet that you
found in the body?
Certainly" DR.. Hunter replied
and he handed the bullet to the law
yer.
Why. this is 32-calibre bullet,
| Hanlon exclaimed.
The bullet was then placed IN the
revolver owned by the defendant ano
it ratified in the empty chamber. Al
ter only short deliberation the jury
returned verdict of not guilty.

WEEKLY PAPER PROBLEM.
They Must Raise the Price Of Sub
scription or Quit.

In discussing the increasing ser.
ious problems which now confronts
newspaper publishers all over the
country The Fourth Estate, whose
name sufficiently indicates its nature
as a publication, expresses the opin-
ion that the worse sufferers will be
those weeklies and semi-weeklies
which several years ago reduced sub
scription from $500 and $50 to
s1.00.
"This unfortunate cut in price, .
says our contemporary occurred when
the country was in the clutches Of
hard times, and the people were not
able to pay their bills. Now every
subscription taken at that price is
well night financial loss. 1t will be
at loss when the new price Of pa
per goes into effect. There is but
one thing for small publishers to do
and that is to increase the price Of
their paper. They should not ex-
pect to make the advance less than
so cents on s1.00 subscription, and
the same amount on $3.50 rates. :"
No subscriber ought to expect to
get a paper nowadays for such a
sum as s1.O0. The print paper alone
will be worth nearly that"
."That's the way it looks to us, ;"
says the Charlotte Observer, "is look
ing to more and more weekly and
semi-weekly publishers and should
shortly look to all the subscribers
concerned. If the laborer is worthy
of his hire and these particular lab
orers are to receive and hire at all, no
other course remains.

KILLS WIFE AND SELF.
Husband Commits Murder and Sui.
eide il. His Own Home.

eide il, His Own Home.
Because his home was broken up
by the intrusions of another man,
John Childress shot and killed his
wife, wounded his mother-in-law and
committed suicide in his home in
Norfolk, Va, recently. Five shots
were fired, one at the wife, one at the
mother-in-law, one into Childress'
own head and fifth that has not
been accounted for. 1t is Suspected
that this one is in the body of Thom-
as Donaldson. baggage master on
the Southern railroad. He IS the man
charged with the breaking up of the
Childress home and was in the house
a short time before the fatal shoot
ing.
The shooting was done in the kit
chen of the Childress home. The
wife's body was found partly outside
of the door. A few feet away the
husband fell, and on the same floor
lay the helpless mother-in-law. In
the room the police found the little
two-year-old son crying and begging
that no one be allowed to shoot him
and his 1-months-old sister. Mrs.
Childress was arranging for a divorce
from her husband on the same after
noon that she was killed.

TO HAVE MORE CASH.
The Banks Join in Movement TO

Bankers Ready to Take Advantage Of
the Provisions for Issuing Currency
to Help the Stringency.

A dispatch from Washington say
Treasury officials are agreeably sur

dlcated their purporse to comply witt
the suggestion of Comptroller of tn
Currency Ridgeiey that additiona

the suggestion was made only re
Gently, large number of telegram
have been received at the department
asking for additional circulation, vary

Sol. WeXler, vice president Of the
Whitney Central National Bank in
New Orleans, who, with other prom.
inent New Orleans bankers has had
a number of conferences with Sec
retary Cortelyou in an effort to de-
wise plan by which cotton exporters
could get prompt cash returns from
cotton shipments said:
''The present situation can be re-
lieved in but two ways: First by the
restoration of confidence and the re-
turn of money which has been with
drawn from banks in the East during
the recent panic.
Second. by the rapid export Of
our cotton, wheat, provisions and 9TH
er products to create balance Of
trade in our favor and make inlporta-
ton of gold in large quantities posi-
BILE.
The prompt and wise action Of
Secretary Cortelyou. aided by Mr.
Morgan and other prominent New
York bankers. has gone very far to-
ward restoring confidence and mon
ey is again being redeposited in the
strong institutions Of the country.
The Southern situation is more
difficult Of solution, owing to the nee
essary delay in transmission of ex-
changing bills to Europe and the
time required for the purchase and
shipment Of gold to this country.
The Southern banks are doing
their part by largely increasing their
circulation with the assistance of the
comptroller and the Secretary of the
Treasury which enable them to for
ward their foreign exchange by mail
to New York without requiring cur
rency for the entire amount, New
York can. in turn, as soon as these
bills reach the other side, import gold
and then transmit currency in guam
titles throughout the agricultural
sections of the country.

last week, seems to have been worse

mountain slide in which the entire
population, numbering $4,000 were
buried. Only two persons survived
the disaster, these eing the COVER
nor of Karatagh and his mother.
Details Of the convulsions are as
yet unavailable, but the news so far
received leads to the belief that a
great chasm opened in the valley
where the city stood and that almost
the whole vicinity was engulfed in
one pile of ruins.
There is also reason to believe
that other towns and cities in the
neighborhood of Bokhara were badly
shaken by the same convulsion of
nature and it is expected that the full
tale of death will reach a total which
will make the disaster as one of the
greatest in the history of all Asia
Minor.

The origin of the earthquake; it is
believed, is quite different from those

lasted several hours during the morn

from the London bureau. The in

to have been his wife affectionatelS
holding her hand. The police were

Moscow Sees the End of a Nov.

Rich Officer and Wife Who Lost Lit.
tie Daughter During Rout Of Laio
Yang Finds Her in Rags.

An Associated Press Dispatch from
Moscow, Russia, tells pathetic
story. The dispatch says the crowG
of promenaders on the Tverskayi wit
messed recently the ending Of a wal
tragedy which had its beginning al
the battle Of Laio Yang.
a smart landau drawn by a fine
team of horses drew up to a restau-
rant. The occupants, handsome Of
icer and his wife, stepped out and
at that moment little beggar girl,
tattered and torn, drew near, extend
ing her hand with piteous appeal
for aims.
The woman fumb bled around in
her pocket-book, drew out the desir-
ed coin and was about to hand tito
the beggar. But upon catching sight
Of the girls face she uttered scream
and rushing forward threw her arms
around her neck and began hugging
and kissing her.
After this the officer and his wife
and the little tattered and torn beg
gar girl drove away. The following
explanation of the scene was obtain
ed later.
During the battle of Liao Yang the
Office was in command Of regiment
and lived with his wife and daughter
in a chinese hut near the scene of
operations. When the fight of the
Russian soldiers began they were fol-
lowed by bands Of rowing bandits who
burned and looted everything they
could lay their hands on.
In the panic which followed the
retreat, the daughter of
the officers, very young girl, was
lost. 4 few days later a detachment
Of Russian soldiers put the bandits
to fight and regained much Of the
plunder. They also found the little
girl, whom they took along with
them.
One of the soldiers took a great
fancy to her and when he was wound
ed and sent to recuperate at Moscow
she went with him.. In Moscow the
man died and the little girl was left
alone to wander the streets and beg.
Good fortune led her to the street
where her parents were driving.

few days ago, but there had not been
enough work done as yet to determine
what results were going to be. Mr.. Nc

TALISMAN SHIPPING
TWO CLASSES OF ORE

Manager p. J. Donohue of the Talisman
company's properties in Beaver county
returned from camp yesterday morning
He states that carload of high-grade
silYer-lead ore is now at the sampler and
that the initial carload of rich zinc ore
from the recent discovery, fifty tons of
il, has just been started for the Lanyon
zinc works, at lola, Kan. This car is in
the nature of test shipment and the
probabilities are that following the settle
ment for this consignment "a contract will
be entered into with the Lanyon COM
pany to handle the product of the mine,
or that part of 1t producing the zinc.
AS stated a few days ago, this zinc ore
occurs in the form of willemite which, in
its highest state of purity, carries 1913
per cent zinc oxide and 27.1 silica. Pro-
fessor Maynard Rixby stated during the
afternoon that so far as he had been able
to determine, this was the first discovery
of wilemite in the state of Utah, and
he proposes to add it to the list of his
catalogue of Utah Mineral and LOCAL.
ties" which already contains a descrip-
tive list of 100 minerals, with the local
tiles in which they occur in this state.
