State Makes Several Good
Points Against Comic Op-
era Star in Trial.
LITTLE GIRL TESTIFIES.
TELLS OF THE VISITS MADE TO
THE HITCHCOCK HOME WHILE
MRS. HITCHCOCK WAS AWAY
ACTS SIMILAR TO THAW.

New York. March 14.-When the
criminal branch of the supreme court
adjourned yesterday afternoon the
prosecution had offered it's best evil
dence in the trial of Raymond Hitch
cock, the actor, who is accused OF mis-
conduct with little girls. The defend
ant looked sick and worn as he left the
room.
1t was the general opinion of those
following the evidence that the state
strengthened its case yesterday. The
principal accused of Hitchcock. Helen
Won Hagen, did not suffer materially
on REORGANIZATION.
Stanchfield caused Mrs. Mary Won
Hagen, the mother of little Helen Won
Hagen, to admit that no longer ago
than yesterday she had told the de-
PENDANTS wife that she did not be-
lieve Hitchcock had wronged her
daughter. The mother also identified
a letter which she wrote to the accus-
ed comedian last fall and in which she
said practically the same thing.
Hitchcock Nervous, Like Thaw.
Hitchcock ; nervousness increased
hourly as the day wore on. Those
who are following the trial would not
be surprised to see him collapse be
fore the case goes 10 the jury. He was
never still for a moment His fin
gers trembled yisibly as they rumpled
his long yellow hair or fingered about
his thin lips, and he bit his nails in 4
way that recalled Harry Thaw on the
grill. It is understood that the de.
Tense has altered its first plan and
will now rely largely on an alibi 10
save the accused musical comedy star.

When your back gives out;

When urinary troubles set in,
Your Kidneys are Sin bad way"
Doan's Kidney Pills will cure you.

Recipe Mixed Often.

Seine remarkable stories are being
told about town and among the country
people coming in of this simple home
made mixture curing Rheumatism and
Kidney trouble. Here is the recipe and
direction of taking: Mix by shaking
well in bottle one-half ounce Fluid Ex-
tract Dandelion, one ounce Compound
Kargon, three tunces Compound Syr-
up Sarsaparilla. Take as a dose one
teaspoonful after meals and at bed
time,
No change need be made in your
usual diet, but drink plenty of good
water.
This mixture, writes one authority
in leading Philadelphia newspaper,
has peculiar tonic effect upon the kid
neys; cleansing the clogged-up pores
Of the eliminative tissues, forcing the
kidneys to sift and strain from the
blood the uric acid and other poisonous
waste matter, overcoming Rheumatism,
Bladder and Urinary troubles ina short
while.
A New York druggist who has had
hundreds of calls for these ingredients
since the first announcement in the
newspapers last October stated THAI
the people who once try it Swear BY
it," especially those who have Urinary
and Kidney trouble and suffer with
Rheumatism.
The druggists in this ..neighpprhoodll
say they can supply the ingredients,
which are easily mixed at home. There
is said to be no better blood-cleansing
agent or system tonic known, and cer-
tainly none more harmless or simple to

POLAR EXPLORER RETURNS.
Capt. MikkeIsen Finds Indications of a
New Continent in North.

Seattle, Wash, Apr. Capt. Ejnar
Mikkelsen, who jointly commanded
the Anglo-Polar expedition which
sought to find an undiscovered con-
tinent in the Beaufort sea- arrived from
the north on the Yucatan. Capt. Mix
kelsen's vessel, the Duchess OF Bed
ford, was lost in the ice pack near
Flaxman island a year ago. Ernest
DeKoven Leffingwell, who, with Capt.
Mikkelsen, commanded the expedition,
remained at Flaxman island to con-
tinue his scientific work. Capt. Mix
kelsen started October rs from Flax
man island and made the journey
along the northern shores of Alaska
to Nome, arriving at the latter place
January 8. He left Nome with COM
panion January 18 and jorneyed with
dog sledges up the Yukon river to
Fort Gibbon, and came out by the way
of Fairbanks and Valdez. Capt. Mix
nelson's expedition traced the con-
tfnental shelf in the Beaufort sea and
ascertained that if land does lie be-
yond the sea it is an Independent con-
tinent.

ezuela would see with satisfaction
that the United States would consider
this matter terminated, the interested
parties always having the right of re-
course to the tribunals of justice of
the republic If they deem it con-
venient."
The paper goes on to allege that
almost five years after the claims in
question had been arbitrated the
American government comes to de-
mand, through it's minister in Caracas,
that two Of these claims shall be new
iy submitted to arbitration.
Hint at Lawless Situation.
Suggesting that the usefulness Of
the Monroe doctrine will be destroyed
by the present attitude of the state
department, the editorial continues:
1--WE do not believe for a moment
that the United States congress, the
high representative of the nation, can
possibly authorize any proceedings
which will create situation contrary
to the rule of Justice among nations"
In closing Ell Constitutional says: ct
is the duty of every government to
watch over the legitimate and honest
interests of It's citizens and save them
from all designing attack, but no Sc
rious government, nor any govern
ment which pretends to be just, can
or ought to protect under the flag
of the fatherland the populations Of
adyenturers." A serious charge is add
ed against one of the persons making
a claim against Venezuela.

Lincoln, Neb., Man Declares That
present Discussion Makes 1t Un-
wise to Co." So He Promptly With
draws His Acceptance of Invitation.

Washington, Apr. 6.-Representa-
tive Sulzer of New York Saturday re-
ceived the following telegram from
w. ]. Bryan relating to the invitation
extended to him to attend the Jeffer-
son dinner in New York:
Have withdrawn acceptance. The
discussed makes it unwise to go.
(Signed) ''W., ]. BRYAN"
The National Democratic clubs in
vitation to Mr.. Bryan to attend the
Jefferson day banquet in New York
was conveyed to him on the occasion
of his recent visit to Washington by
Representative Sulzer, who is mem
Der of the committee on invitations.
Mr.. Bryan in response authorized Mr..
Sulzer to inform President John Fox
of his acceptance, to apprise him that
he preferred to be the last speaker,
and that his subject would be The
Art of Government"
Opposition to Bryan.
The making public of this accept
ance was followed by counter move
ment on the part of the anti-Bryan
faction in the National Democratic
club, and the statement became cir.
culated that though Mr.. Bryan would
attend the dinner he would not be one
of the speakers-among whom were
scheduled Gov Johnson of Mime
sofa, Judge Harmon and Judge Gray
An opposition dollar dinner was then
proposed, but it's promoters did not Sc
cure Mr.. Bryans consent to attend
and speak. The telegram from Mr.
Bryan to Representative Sulzer cul.
inmates controversy, disagreeable in
the extreme to the Nebraskan, say his
friends, which has been given wide
publicity.

Commenting on the telegram Sat
urday, Mr.. Sulzer said: 1T is toe
bad so many conflicting statements
have been published regarding the in
vitation extended to Mr.. Bryan By the
National Democratic club. l do not
care to say anything about the matter
except that l sincerely regret that
these conflicting statements have
placed the National Democratic club
and also Mr.. Bryan in false at
titude."
