 Flushing. N. Y, Dec. 16-The story of the staying of William E. Annis. q pub fisher, as he sat in his cat boat. clad only in a bathing suit, and was riddled with bullets that madeNa dozen wounds. was today made part of the record in the trial of Thornton J. Hains, maga- zine writer, charged with being a prin- cipal with his brother. Peter c. Hains. IT,. in the murder of Annis last sum mer.
 Tracing the movements of the princi- pals in the Bayside Yacht Club tragedy with the aid of miniature iron figures and models of the float and the cat boat Pam, Edwin Andrews, yacht club member. showed under v examination how the army captain, standing on the floats edge, held aloft the ohscuring boom and sail of Annis's boat. and shot the publisher as he sat at the tiller.
 There was surprise when 1t was learned that John Tonning. Swedish boatman who saw the tragedy. could not be located. District Attorney Dar- rfn said he thought TonninE was h Sweden, but that nothing had been heard from him since last September.
 .'He Is q most important witness for us,' said Lawyer Mcintyre tonight, flor through him we would have shown that he struck Captain Hains after the shooting. with a boat hook. or car. and that to protect his brother. Thornton Hains drew his revolver"
 The cross examination of Andrews consumed the major portion of the af- ternoon session, and Lawyer Mcintyre sought to develop that Thornton Haina had used expressions after tho shoot ing to the effect that he had trisd to dissuade Captain Hatns from his act and that he would hold him until tha officers came.
 Special Prosecutor White declared ir the opening of the States ease. that ersi ldenee would be brought out to show that Thornton Hains had full knowl- edge of his brothers intention to kill Annis and virtually led the way to the yacht club and directed the search fer the publisher.
 MT. White declared that Thorntou Hains pointed his revolver at Mrs. An-' his and prevented her from going to the aid of her wounded husbaud
 The direct testimony of the States witnesses is expected to take only q little time but the cross examination will likely occupy three or four days Hains'e counsel will endeavor to show that the defendants drawing of his revolver was an act of defense and not of offense. {

LAKE-To-GULF PROJECT.

Washington, Dec. Is.-Congressrnan Lorimer. of Chicago. expects that the report of engineers who are engaged In surveying the Mississippi river por- ton of the Lake to Gulf project will be ready by January 1.
 As soon as it is filed he will intro- duce his waterway bill. Mir. Lorimer says he Is not worrying over the report th at Chairman Burton believes no river and horbor bill can be passed until the special session because of the limited atate of the nations finances
 ''Tha question of finances is the smallest of all." said Mir Lorimer. The fact that just now the government is bling up a deficit need not hamper this project. For there is little possibility that more than million dollars worth of work will be done during the next year anyway. And the government will be called upon to pay only for ths completed work.

ImDOrtant- order By Secretary Of In-
 teri0r.
 Washington. Dee. l6.--The Secretary of the Interior has withdrawn from entry by the, Presidentis order all pub lie lands in the important petroleum and natural gas fields in Northwest Louisiana, known as the Caddo oil field and embracing 6.B0o acres.
 This action is taken pending a care- full geological investigation by the United States Geological Survey to prevent the terrific waste of natural gas now chargeable to the Caddo field.
 The total waste in the Caddo field is estimated by the Geological Survey at 76,000,000 cubic feet of gas daily. or more than one-twentieth of total amount of natural gas usefuliy con stunned in the United States.
 The object of the withdrawal of all public lands in the vicinity is to enable the government to retain title to the land pending necessary legislation as well as action by the State officials and remedial engineering work to stop the waste of gas which is now deplet- ing the common supply under the gov srnment as we'll as private lands.

bewitchingly at the men beneath. The

Il thought that Senior Suarez would

guage. Perhaps he does not wish them
to know he is on board?v
Now, Elsie had heard the mans i'm
passioned appeal when the Indians
were first sighted, 50 Courtenay felt
that she, too, was acting.
| A new direction was given to Elsie's
thoughts by the somewhat scowling
aspect of Christobal's face. He was
looking at Courtenay in a manner
which betokened certain displeasure.
The Spaniard's cultivated cynicism
was subjugated by more powerful
sentiment. 1t seemed to Elsie that he
envied Courtenay his youth and high
spirits.
Elsie dared not meet Courtenay's
eyes. A flood Of understanding had
suddenly poured its miraculous waters
over her. Incidents unimporfant in
themselves. utterances which seemed

and we know what that signifies.
rs there no chance of bribing these
people into friendlinesS OF. ut least into

1T is hard TO decide. Tollemache
and Suarez are best able to form an
opinion. What do you say, ToIle-
mache?v
Not bit Of use They are insatia-
bic. The more you give the more they
want. The only way to deal with
those rotters is to stir them up with a
Calling or twelve poaHder."
Suarez when appealed to shook his
head

The experience of the miner from
Argentina was not to be gainsaid.
Courtenay glanced up at Elsie. If
aught were needed to complete the
contrast between civilization and saw
agery it was given by the comparison
which the girl offered to the women in
the canoe. The hot sun and the alb
sence of wind had changed the tenn
perature from winter to summer. Aft

days il would be Christmas, in seven

beginning Of the voyage they We're pre-
pared to pass both festivals at sea,
there was all the difference in the
world between a steady progress to-
ward home and friends and the pres
ent plight OF the Kansas. Death, too,
had throw its shadow over them.
Some there were to whom the passing
of the years would mean no more in
this world. Others, the great majority
of the ships company, were probably
hidden by the same eternal silence.
The last sight they had of them was a
dim vision of boats rushing into a
chaos of angry seas and sheeted spray.
But Courtenay would have none of
these mournful memories. Isn't that
glorious news?' he cried Now, Chris
teHal, that motor trip in June through
the Pyrenees looks feasible once more.
And you, Miss Maxwell. though you
have never quaiied for an instant, can
hope to be in England in the spring.
As for you, Tollemache, surely you
will say that our prospects are fair at
the least
Il would say more than that if it
were not for these poisonous Indians, .
replied Tollemache. Here they come

And, indeed, Francisco Suarez, detail
ed to keep watch and ward over the
ship until noon, ran up the companion
and cried excitedly:
s.Four headmen have just pulled off

Courtenay coolly when Christobal had

Courtenay infected them all with his

These statements were disconcerting
Not only was it possible for the ma
tives to surround the Kansas with q
whole swarm of men, but the mere
number Of theil. boats would render il
exceedingly difficult to repel com,
bined assault. And nothing could be
more truculent than the demeanor Of
the seminude warriors. They pointed
at each person they saw on the decks
and made a tremendous row when
they passed the canoe fastened along
side. Despite their keen sight, they
evidently did not recognize Suarez,
who now wore a cap and a suit of
clothes taken from the locker of one OF
the missing stewards.
The impudence of the Indians exas-
perated Courtenay. The sheer size OF
the Kansas should have awed them,
he thought.
At that moment the rowers permit
ted the canoe to swing round with the
tide. One of the men stood up, and
