OMAHA, Sept. 26,-Rain did not
deter the crowd, anxious to hear Mrs.
Abbie Rice tell her gruesome story OF
the tragic taking off of DIR. Frederick
Rustin, as he had related to her 1t
was to occur, and when Judge Craw-
ford's branch OF the police court be-
gan at o:30, the crowd was even larg-
er than yesterday Mrs. Rice was
the first witness called She took up
her narrative where it was left of
yesterday when counsel for the de-
fense attempted to prevent her giving
testimony before the court on ac-
count of alleged hearsay.
The nervousness that yesterday
characterized her actions was not ap-
parent this morning, and her replies
were given in free and easy manner.
Yesterday her story stopped at a
point where she began to relate to
the court what DIR, Rustin had told
her were his plans to have Davis re-
lieve her of the proposed shooting
and how he was to give Davis sui
eide dose in exchange for his grue-
some service
Counsel for the defense gave evi-
dence OF an intention to fight every
point in the testimony where he
found an opening, by objecting freely
Mrs. Rice, however, was permitted
to say that Rustin told her he had
arranged with man TO kill him, and
later she was permitted to identity
this man as Davis. The state ther

ing his knowledge OF Governor Has
kell against the charges which nave
been brought against him Until, the
charges can be examined in some
court where partisanship does not
bias" Colonel Bryan today gave out
for publication his reply to President
Roosevelt's open letter, Bryan speaks
of the election OF Haskell as Cover
nor OF Oklahoma and says, THE Con-
stitution was adopted and Haskell
was elected in spite of your admin
istration and in spite OF the speech
made in Oklahoma by Judge TAFT.
Bryan charges among other things
that the steel trust with your ex-
press consent purchased one OF It's
largest rivals and thus obtained con-
troll OF more than 50 per cent OF the
total output. He asks the President
IL he will insist THAT in permitting
this YOU showed less favor to monop-
olistic corporations than do n op-
posing it.' Bryan abruptly charges
that Governor Hughes quoted by
Roosevelt as having "Riddled the
democratic trust remedy and was
himself beneficiary Of the trusts and
cites campaign contributions to the
Hughes, election fund two years ago
Among these are ], P Morgan, Johr
ID. Rockefeller, Carnegie and Nelson
Cromwell Bryan says as President
quoted Hughes, he takes it for grant,
ed that Judge Taft has, not expressed
himself satisfactorily on the trus'
question. After making known the
fact that Haskell has voluntarily re-

ASTORIA SUBURBS
GET RURAL PHONES
Pacific States Telephone Company Complete Line
Between Carnahan and WarrentOn

structing rural lines and renting the
use OF its lines and instruments at a
certain rate per year, just as the sub
scribers in the cities are charged,
but this plan proved unsatisfactory
inasmuch as IL was not always an
easy thing to keep men on the
grounds to watch the lines and keep
up repairs, etc, and therefore new
policy Of the company is to build such
lines and sell them outright 70 the
rural subscribers, just as was done
in the case Of the Clatsop Plains
Company 1t is understood that this
line, which Of course is in compara-
lively miniature shape yet, cost only
about $3.50, there being Is shares OF
stock issued for this sum at $50 a
share The only further cost to the
subscribers is the nominal sum OF
$2,40 a year, which is paid to the Pa
cihc States Company for switching
charges at Warrenton, with which
the line is connected
One Of the best features of the new
rural line is that the Pacific States
Company permits free service be-
tween all Of the subscribers OF the
Clatsop Plains line and any and all
subscribers Of the Pacific States in
Warrenton and Astoria. That Is, no
Hong distance charge Is made, and the
1 service Is accounted merely q local
one. Hence II anyone in Astoria
wishes to talk with any one on the

for Is years he has fought trusts, and
asserts that the President cannot hnd

against Haskell but on the contrary

mony as to the value of oil as fuel is
siven by J. ]. Kermole. of the In
s.imte o. Mechanical Engineers. who
recently conducted some experiments
onbehalf CT the Admiralty. He states
that if the Lusitsnia were fitted for
burning oil for fuel, she would re-
quire only twenty-seven men in the

necessary with coal; she would be
able to carry 1000 tons more cargo
and at least 250 additional passengers
while the time for a transatlantic yoy-
age would be reduced BY eight hours.
With the advent Of petroleum as
fuel for warships. there has come in
