LEGAL CRIMINAL


Senator Borah Indicted.
Although extraordinary efforts APP
pear to have been made to keep from
the public the fact, it became known
that United States Senator Borah had
been indicted for violation of the laws
governing the acquisition of public
lands, together with President Barber
Of the Barber Lumber company OF
Wisconsin and it's manager, l.. G.
Chapman, who was already in Jail for
contempt because he refused to pro-
duce the company's records. Senator
BOrah had been counsel for this COM
pany. Friends of the senator had
asked for delay on account of his con-
nection with the approaching Meyer
Haywood trial, he being employed as
special counsel for the prosecution. 1t
was also reported that the late eX-
Governor Steunenberg had been inter
ested in these land operations. On the
Goth inst the government brought suit
TO recover 10000 acres, valued at ST.
100000, which had been patented to
the lumber company.
Benedict GimbeI's Death.
Following his arrest ut New York for
alleged assault upon q boy and for at
tempted bribery of the police, Benedict
Gimbel, member of the wealthy firm
of Glmbel Bros. of Philadelphia, cat
his throat and wrists while staying in

hospital, where he seemed to have q
chance of recovery, but later died.
The members of his family who were
summoned said his mind had been
wrong for several months.
Arrest In Marvin Boy Case.
Frank II. Butler, formerly q farm
hand employed by DR.. Horace Marvin
near Dover, Del, whose son, Horace
Marvin, Jr., disappeared on March ,

to this time, was arrested on board the
river steamer where he worked as
deck hand. He. was arraigned on the
charge of having murdered the Mar
vim boy, but he stoutly maintained his
innocence throughout his examination.
The detectives acted upon the theory
that the wagon Butler was driving ran
over the boy and accidentally killed
him and that fearing he would be
held responsible he put the body into
sack, drove off with 1t and buried it.
A companion Of Buffers told of one
sack In the load being heavier than
the others and that this disappeared
during trip through the woods. Later
Butler was discharged.

Shortly after Loan Clerk W. o.
Douglass Of the Trust Company Of
America at New York had left the Of

the sortures practiced were such az

the wounds. An eight-year-old child
was flogged to death because he could

Women were insulted and outraged

GROWING NUT TREES.
In Planting Follow Natures Own Way
as Much as Possible.

The age at which any nut trees come
into bearing depends on the care given
to the trees. Some authorities state
that fifteen Or twenty years are neces-
sary Il ring them into full bearing
from the time the nut is planted. This
is q mistake. as trees that have been
we'll cared for should bear bushel Of
nuts in ten years, and the quantity
will increase rapidly each year after
that time.
Some persons may enjoy raising
these trees from seed. To be sure. it
Is rather slow process. but it is in
teresting work. When planting the
nuts, if they have thin shells be per-
fectly sure that they have not dried
out at ALL The best plan is to get
them rs soon as they ripen and plant
them at once. When this Is not posi-
BILE. keep them In moist sand or In
sawdust until they can be started.
Buttcrnuts, walnuts, hickory nuts end
filberts, being hard shelled, will keep
in growing condition much longer, but
should be planted in the fall as they
terminate better when allowed TO
freeze. as that cracks the shell.
The fail planting is natures own
plan, and the nearer we follow her
ways the better results we may ex-
pect. Another thing, do not plant the
nuts deep Nature drops them on the
surface and gives them thick cover

BETWEEN CHINA AND JAPAN
OVER MANCHURIA AFFAIRS
RfGARRlS0NING OF MANCHURIA
l. Now I'm Progress-TrOOps Being
Drilled

Pekin, Oct. 2.-TheTe has been a
complete deadlock between China
and Japan over Manchurian affairs
since June last, and the attitude of
the United States toward Japan has
now become feature of the situa-
ton.
The new administrations at Muk-
den and at Pekin welcomed what the
officials call "a revival of America 5
spirit" in sending the battleship feet
TO the Pacific, after apparent indif-
ference to the FaT Eastern situation,
and as a result the Chinese officials
are resisting the demands of the
Japanese.
After four months fruitless negota-
tons the viceroy of Manchuria, Hau
Shin Chang, has arrived in Pekin, to
explain the state of affairs in his
jurisdiction.
The regarrisoning of ManchUria is
in progress. The government will
send 5000 troops, drilled in modern
tactics. to replace the 10000 OId-time
troops now in that part of the en-
pire. All these troops are being
equipped for winter service.
Japan has met these activities Of
the new Chinese administration with
increased demands, adding to the
original questions posts, GUS
toms. Yalu timber concessions, the
Shengkink mines, the restoration of
telegraph lines and public buildings,
and the control of rights to reside in
Manchuria-another question, name
ly, the delimitation of the Korean
Manchurian boundary
The relations between Russia and
China on the subject of Manchuria
have improved. Russia is co-operat-
ing with China in the development
OF postal, customs, and railroad
facilities.
