LULl IN PlTTSBURG'S PROBE
Investigators Seem to Have Changed
Their Methods.

Pittsburg, Dec. 30-Indications Are
that there will be no more arrests In
connection with the city's council

ture. There is also a belief that is
steadily gaining new supporters that
the Voters league was forced to act
before the plans of its imported detec

one of the national banks serving as
city depository, which, II is alleged
compromised two of the officers OF
that bank.
While A. Leo We'll, president OF the
Voters league, in his first statement
regarding the scandal said the league
had much more evidence and that
many more arrests would follow, and
other officers of the league have reit.
Grated these statements, 1t was said
Tuesday by persons closely allied
with the prosecution that the league
would not take the Initiative in any
further arrests and that IL there is
such action 1t viii have to be taken
either by the United States authori
ties or by the district attorney.

80 MEN ENToMBED IN MINE
Explosion In West Virginia colliery
Probably Fatal to Many.

Bluefeld, w. Va, Dec. 30.-Twelve
men are known to be dead and prob
ably 25 more were entombed as the
result of an explosion which occurred
in the Lick Branch colliery owned by
the Pocahontas Consolidated Coal
Co., the largest coal mining concern
in southern West Virginia, Tuesday
afternoon. 1t is not known exactly
how many men were in the mine at
the time
The men leave the mine after
what is known as the run" and
many OF the 90 at work Tuesday
were not in the mine when the explo
sion occurred.
Sixteen of the entombed men have
been taken out of the colliery alive
They had been stified by the smoke
but were not injured seriously.

Difficult Horseback Feat.

There are no better horsemen In
the world than the cavalry officers OF
the italian army, yet even among
them there are very few who could
perform the feat recently achieved by
one OF them.
To run an ordinary foot race is
easy enough, but to run at full speed
for several hundred yards holding In
one had spoon on which rests an
egg and to reach the goal without
dropping the egg is a feat which
must be practlced carefully a long
time before II can be performed sue
cessfully, and as a result there are
not many who can be sure of accom-
plishing 1t whenever they try. Great,
was the surprise when an Italian
officer mounted on horseback per-
formed this difficult feat, Moreover,
he selected a course in which there
were two or three high fences, and
these he cleared at full gallop with
out losing the egg,

RIDERS TRY TO PROVE AlIDlS
TRIAL DEVELOPS REMARKABLE
MEMORIES OF RELATIVES.
Witnesses Clearly Recall Incidents on
Night OF Murder, but Can't Re-
member Other Matters.

Union City, Tenn, Dec. 30.-With
the defense OF the eight Night Riders
on trial for the murder of Capt Ran
ken well under way. the case has set
tied down into wearisome round Of
cumulative testimony. The defen-
dants, having pleaded not guilty, are
trying to prove alibis. The testimony
Of the defendants that they were not
present at the murder OF Capt Ran
ken Is to be strengthened by the tes-
timony of scores of witnesses, most OF
them relatives of the defendants. Six
OF the defendants have been put on the
stand. It'd Burton and Fred Pinion
have not testified
Each Of the witnesses remembered
distinctly many persons who were in
their homes the night OF the Ranken
murder and recalled many incidents
that occurred then. Pressed to name
persons who we're present on other
nights, or to recite incidents that oc
CURED a few days prior to the mur
der, they were unable to do so. Cross
examination demonstrated that each
WithCSo NOuiu hOibiub bid'
happened any other night save the one
that Ranken was killed.
The mother-in-law of Wad Morris
one Of the confessed riders, swore that
her son-in-law was in bed in the same
room with her at 10 o'clock on the
night OF the killing. She could not re
call what time he went to bed on any
other night since she had known him
Sam Baker swore that Herschel
Hogg, another confessed rider, was II
bed with him the night Of the killing
OF Ranken. His memory as to othel
nights was vague, and he could not re
member whether he talked with the
lawyers for the defense Monday night
NJ. v. Reid, fath-r-in-law of Buc
Morris, one OF the defendants, testified
to an alibi for him and denied that h
told a different story before the gran,
jury Withered, wrinkled and poorl!
clad, Morris mother, S5 years old, n
a tired, hopeless voice swore that he
son was at home tho night Of thu
murder.

Fat Men and Marriage.

II is remarkable how seldom one
finds a fat man unmarried. II is the
thin men as a rule who run to bache-
lorhood. II may be urged, going back
on a previous sentence, which spoke
of matrimony as weight increaser
In men, that this is putting the cart
before the horse. 1t is true, never
theless. that where you find a fieshy
man his tendency is to marry. In
matters of color the fair man may
be said to have 1t as against the dark
man, and If there be dash of red IN
his composition matrimonial proba-
bilities are thereby Increased. The
little man has, in this respect, as in
some others, pre-eminence over the
long man. Women, as a rule, are
reader to marry tall men-they ad-
mire length-but long men are not
always ready to be married.

killing Of William r. Annis, called
two witnesses in Tuesdays session ol
the trial to show certain alleged acts
of Mrs. Claudia Hams which the law
yers for the defendants claim so af

mentally unbalanced.
Samuel c. Reid of Chicago, a friend
OF the Hams family, swore that Capt
Hains told him of all him marital mis-
fortunes and that the captain evi
denced signs of being irrational. Be
fore the close of the days session th'
defense called to the stand a servant
in Capt Hains's household, Minnie
Rhone, who related certain alleged in
cidents in which Mrs. Claudia Haini
and William e. Annis figured at the
Hams home while Capt Hams was II
the Philippines. These incidents, the
witness said she told the captain OF

ticipated was made here Tuesday In
the trial of Mrs. NJ. Florence Erb and
her sister, Mrs. Catharine Beisel, in
dicted Jointly and separately on the
charge OF numbering Capt. j. Clayton
Erb at his home, Red Cables, last Oc'
tober. The case was opened at IL
o'clock and by 4 o'clock Jury had
been selected. Many of the talesmen
were challenged by the commonwealth
because they admitted that they either
did not believe in capital punishment
or had conscientious scruples about
sending a woman to the gallows.
District Attorney Macpade charged
the jury from 4:3O until $3.50 p. m,
The court then announced adjourn
ment until 8 o'clock Wednesday morn
ing, when, 1t was said by the district
attorney, Beatrice Matsui, domestic

tragedy, will be called as the first wit

In his address Mr.. MacDade re

Columbus, Dec. 3O.-The prospect OF
settlement by caucus this week OF
the senatorial fight that is stirring
Ohio as have few political events in re.
cent years, was seriously diminished
Tuesday night when Congressman
Burton announced that he was op'
posed to the plan. The supporters OF
Charles P. Taft demanded that eau.

known that he is entirely satisfied with
the progress of his campaign and that
he is not convinced of the necessity
of imposing a choice upon the legisla
tive leaders ten days in advance of the
time set for the senatorial balloting TO
begin. Senator Foraker has already
announced himself as opposed to a eau
Gus and Gen. Keifer, another of the
candidates, has also taken an opposing
position, thus leaving the Taft sup
porters practically alone in their de-
mand. 1t seems that the fight is to be
taken to the floor of the legislature.
There is much talk of Senator Fora
ker throwing his strength to Burton
in the event OF the fight narrowing
down to the Cleveland congressman
and the brother OF the president-elect
This talk is based largely upon the be.
lief that Senator Foraker is planning
to make his real fight for another term

successor to Charles Dick is to be
chosen. Geographical considerations
have a great deal to do with the choice
of United States senators in Ohio. The
election of Burton from Cleveland

VARIOUS RADTUM RAYS.
Beyond the Scope Of the Strongest
Microscope TO Determine.

Beyond the scope OF the strongest
Microscope TO Determine.
For the sake of distinction the ra-
dium rays are known as the alpha
beta and gamma rays. Two of these
kinds are actual matter. The first
seem to be about the size of atoms,
they travel enormously fast, but are
easily stopped by thin sheet Of
metal. The second are atoms thou
sond times smaller than anything
else known, and they go right
through most metals. Both sorts are
electrified. The third class of radia-
tions are apparently the Roentgen
rays. 1t would seem as II this waste
of substance and power could con-
tinue for thousands of years. and yet
the radlum show no sign of growing
less. All these rays are far beyond
the scope of the most powerful mi
croscope, but are caught and shown
by the Crookes screen.

To Revive Velvet.

Heat an iron without handle,
turn 1t upside down on board and
cover with a damp towel. Lay the
back of the velvet upon the steaming
towel and brush the pile of velvet
with a stiff brush. Move the velvet
and dampen the towel as needed.
This makes velvet as good as new.
Most veilings can be cleaned by
stretching them with the hands and
holding them over the steam Of a
teakettle. Thread wells can be dip
ped in water containing weak solu-
tion OF gum arabic, which restores
