With very much decreased attend

interest heretofore manifested in the
hearing Of the evidence, the second
week of the Granbery trial commenc-
ed at 10 o'clock. There was not
dozen persons in the court room Wnen
Court first met. The defendant was
one of the early arrivals. He looked
much refreshed after the rest OF sun
day. Judge Hart raped for order
at 1920 o'clock and the jury came IN
soon after.
DIR. Hazel Padgett was recalled 10
the witness stand for cross examlna-
ton by the State. Acknowledgement
Garner asked permission to cross-ex-
anime witness after the introduction
of rebuttal proof for the State
Judge Anderson objected, saying ne
could see no reason why the cross
examination should not be heard.
The Court granted the request and
DR.. Padgett was excused until Wed
nesday. Mr.. Stokes protested against
allowing the witness to go, saying
that the defense would Insist on the
cross-examination before it closed its
case in chief. Judge Hart then TOLD
the witness to remain until noon, wher
the Court would settle this question.
Or. Frank Glenn.
Judge Anderson announced that the
defense had only one other witness
and that was DR.. Glenn, but ne dlt
not want the testimony of these VIII
nesses cut up this way and If this wal
to be allowed they wanted to reserv'
DR. Glenn until a later time in tn
trial after the State had cross-exam
ined DR.. Padgett.
Mr. Hatcher also insisted that tn
defense should have the right to clos
its case now and not have to wal
until the rebuttal evidence of tn
state for the cross-examination OF 1t
witnesses. The medical men wer
important witnesses for the defens
and they should be treated just a
any other witnesses. Mr.. Stoke
spoke to the same effect and he sal
that the request Of the State was vi
heard of and had never been befor
made in any case to his knowledge.
Judge Anderson followed. He sal
that the state should cross-examhi
the defendants witness at the time
the misunderstanding and he i
sisted that II Or. Padgett was to
crossexamined he must be crosse
amined now.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 49,
The wood pulp and print paper inves-
tigating committee of the House was
furnished a mass of statistical infOrma-
ton today by the census bureau. On
May 6 letters were sent by the COM
mittee to 1892 publications having
circulation of 1900 or more. Up to last
Saturday night 1911 answers had been
received and these were turned over to
the census bureau for compilation. OF
that number SS7 were sufficiently COM
plete to enable the bureau to tabulate
the information.
Taking New York as a example the
tables show that on January l, 1907,
JOG papers reported that the average
price was $2.45 per hundred. On Jan
uary 1, 1905, eighty-nine reported the
average as $2.41. On January !, 1900,
ffty-six papers reported it to be 80;
January /, 1897, thirt. nine reported an

CLEVELAND TROLLEY COACH is
WRECKED-NO ONE HURT.
Municipal Traction Company Claims
Gains-Rioting and Disorder
Continue.

CLEVELAND. o.. May 19.-The
trucks Of a Superior avenue car were
wrecked today and the car windows
broken by the explosion of dynamite or
giant powder placed on the tracks. The
car was filled with passengers and
panic ensued, but none was hurt.
Notwithstanding the widespread disor-
der in various parts of the city last night
the Municipal Traction company today
claimed to have more cars in operation
than st any time since the strike began.
With the approach of daylight the law
lessness, which continued throurhout the
night, had in large measure ceased,
and cars were run on all lines without
molestation While a number of per-
sons received injuries as a result OF the
assaults made upon the cars during the
night, no one was seriously hurt so tar
as reported.
The board of arbitration was in confer
ence with President Dupont Of the trac--
ton company today. 1t is understood
that the company is willing to arbltrate
all points in controversy providing the
strikers return to work and stop the ylo-
lence. The only condition President Du-
pont is understood to insist upon is that
the strikers return to work as new
men and not insist upon the seniority
rule. This is done for the purpose OF
caring for the men who remained at
work when the strike was called. whom
the company desires to give preference.

Divorce Suit About Hummeps
Work

NEW YORK, May 19.-Mae c..
Wood continued her testimony today in
her suit for absolute divorce from
United States Senator Thomas c. Platt,
to whom she alleges she was married in
this city in 1901.
Mr.. Stanchfeld of counsel for Plat
continued his cross-examination of Miss
Wood, questioning her about release
which she gave to Abraham H. Hum
mel, the former lawyer, in 1908, in
which she agreed to accept $4,000 in
settlement of her claims against Senator
Platt. Miss Wood declared yesterday
that this release was signed under
duress, but she said she accepted some
of the money.
Although Miss Wood had signed the
release and declared in an accompanying
affidavit that she gave the alleged Piatt
letters TO Hummel as her attorney, she
denied today that she retained Hummel
as her counsel and declared that she
could have obtained $4,000 for the let
tiers. Miss Wood said today that she was
paid $500 for the letters. She did not
know where the money came from, she
said
AS the crOSs~eXaminatiOn progressed,

duced newspaper clippings purporting to
recount interviews with Miss Wood re-

the statements attributed to her, but in
others she declared that she had not
been correctly quoted.

Waukesha Man Missing.
Jennie Graham of 119 Tenny avenue.
Waukesha, Wis, this morning communi-
Gated to Sheriff Shutter the fear that
her brother, John Graham, who disap-
peared three years ago and who lett
home with the statement that he was go
ing to marry a rich woman who had
advertised for a husband, met death on
the Guinness farm. Miss Graham says
she will come to Laporte, if necessary, to
the aid of the officers in an effort to solve
the mystery surrounding his disappear
ance.
Identify Olsen Body.
The issuing of q death certificate for
Jennie Olsen and the turning over Of
the body by Coroner Mack to the reld-
tives in Chicago puts the official stamp
of Identification upon a body regarding
which there has been much controversy:
Although identified by the brother and
sister, many refused to believe that the
girl was dead for the reason that Mrs.
Guinness had made it a point to inform
a number Of persons that Jennie had
gone to Los Angeles to attend school
and had arranged little incidents that
would help to make this point strong
with such people as might be a tritle in
quisitive on the subject.
Unidentified Are Buried.
The grand jury resumed its sessions
this morning. The seven unidentified
bodies exhumed from Mrs. Guinness
barnyard. were today buried in the pot
ter's field, under the direction of Coron-
er Mack.
Identify Mrs. Guinness Teeth.
Sheriff Shutter and Miner Schultz,
who are sluicing the ashes in the debris
of the Guinness fire. found the upper and
lower plates from Mrs. Guinness mouth,
both containing the false teeth which
Mrs Guinness had in her mouth. DR.. I,
P. Norton, who made the lower plate, i'm
mediately identified them and also identi
fed the upper plate, frequently having
seen it, although it was made before he
became her dentist.
This proves beyond the shadow of a
doubt" said Sheriff Shutter, that Mrs,
Guinness was burned to death in the
fire.
