lost his bravado and realizing his po-

to do with the shooting. When he
was taken to the sheriff's Office to be

extracted.
The girl was shot in the feshy
part of the right leg. and her wound

WOMAN TERROR GOES
Up ON LIFE SENTENCE
Mrs. Martin Sentenced for Part in
Dynamiting Outragcs in Oakland.

OAKLAND. Cal. Dec. 19.-Mrs.
Isabella Martin. convicted of con-
spiraey in the dynamiting of the
home of Judge Ogden, was sentenced
today To Imprisonment for life.
The arrest of Mrs. Martin was
brought about last spring by confess
sions of her son, whom she had
brought up under terror and COM
PEELED to assist her in several dyna-
miting cases. The case at the time
aroused a great deal OF interest and
the woman was charged with many
crimes. The evidence adduced at her
trial sustained the belief that her
malice Is unlimited and that her free
dom would constitute menace to
society. The sentence passed is the
source of relief to all who gave testi-
mony against her. Mrs. Martins as
soeiation with the dynamiting out
RACES was established only after long
search by the police, and then only
by reason of the fact that the boy.
in daily fear for his life. sought them

WILL PcoBABLY DIE
FROM WOUNDS INFLICTED BY
JEALOUS COUNTRYMAN-GIRL
ESCAPES WITH FLESH WOUND

4 nurdcrous assault was made on
a man and IA girl, the latter aged
about IL, yesterday afternoon near
the Veteran boarding house by a
young Austrian named Witer Dra-
gosavao, who in jealous rage shot
both his rival and the girl, who had
spurncd his attentions. The man
will probably die. 1t being thought
last night that he could not survive
another day.
As near as can be learned, Dra-
gosayoa, who was i'm a jealous rage
as well as intoxicated. waited near
the Veteran boarding house till his
victims, also foreigners, were within
firing distance and then shot them
from behind. After the shooting
Dragosavao ran to Riepetown, where
he entered the back door of IA sa-
loon. Excited and out of breath, he
attracted the attention of other men
i'm the saloon and when they heard
of the attempted murder, they kept
him under surveillance until he was
identified as the man who did the
shooting. On the arrival of Sheriff
Davis and Deputy Sheriff Jackson,
Dragasavao was turned over to them
and Is now in the county jail.
The victims of the shooting were
taken to Kimberly. where a short
time later they brought Dragosavao
to have him identified. When the
wounded man saw the prisoner, he
identified him as being the man who
did the shooting. The woamn also
identified him. According to those
who were there at the time, the pris-
oner admitted that he fired the shots.

SPE(;U[A ATE
On DEAL
MUCH INTEREST CONTINUES IN
NEW COPPER PLANS-DANIEh
GUGGENHEIM ISSUES A STATE
MENT ON THE SUBJECT.

NEW YORK. Dec 19-Specula-
ton as TO the controlling influence IN
the new company reported as about
to build smelling plants in competi
ton with the American Smelling &
Refining Co. continued today, and In
certain supposedly well informed cir
cles it was said with assurance that
this backing was none other than the
copper interests of the Standard Oh
Co. This is based upon the theory
that the new company is result OF
dissatisfaction over charges made fol
smelling the ores of other companies
having Standard connections.
There is no connection. it is said.
between the new smelling company
and the meeting of representatives OF
copper producing and refining compa-
nies who discussed plans for the es
tabhshment of q statistical copper
bureau to compile and publish month
" statistics of the copper business.
Those attending denied that there
was any intention arbitrarily to gov
ern the price of copper. Instead, Il
was stated that through the publica
ton of authoritative figures 1t was
expected that tendency TO over pro-
duction would be curbed and the pos
sible consequent decentralization o.
the copper markets avoided.
The Amalgamated Copper Co.
which several years ago ceased pub
f-h ~
sented at the meeting. Ii was said
that arrangements would be made
with European copper producers to
secure their returns so that the fig
ures of the worlds production would
be available.
Daniel Gugenheim. president oi
the American Smelling & Refining
Co.. today made public a statement
in which he said:
Some years ago the speculating
public was kept in "A ferment by the

tition between the Havemeyers and

eial interests. 1t seems that the peo-
pie must be fed upon something OF
this kind AS the American Sugar
Refining stocks are now so largely
absorbed and put away in the boxes.
the American Smelling K Refining
Co. s common stock is being specu
lated with in its stead. This will
continue until it is absorbed and put
away in the boxes, unless some other
securities shall in the meantime be
come more popular win the specula
tors There is nothing new that
can see, or anything of policy in the
so-called tyan-Cole development oi

are great believers. undoubtedly. in

GROWTH or OPIUM HABIT.
Increase in Use Of Drug Has Been
Enormous in LARGE Cities.

There are in New York 5000 slaves 10
the opium habit, about five sixths of
whom are whites. This is the finding of
DR.. Hamilton Wright. one of the three
American members of the international
commission that will meet in January to
investigate the opium traffic and arrange
a plan to suppress it. This number is
more tina three times as great, he said,
as the number of 'fends" in Philadel-
phia.
Doctor Wright said that contrary to
the general belief the Chinese users of the
drug and the opium manufacturers both
are anxious to see the law enforced as
to its sale, while the Chinese 'pipers' are
strong advocates of total abstinence from
the drug for the rising generations.
Doctor Wright declared there has been
a steady increase in the importation of
opium since 1878. That year the imported
drug prepared for smoking amounted to
81, 600 pounds, While in 1907 the imports
had increased to Isl 1000 pounds. The i'm
portation of the crude product in the last
five years had increased 1.O00, 900 pounds.
Chinese doctors are using a cure recent
ly discovers in Shanghai. 1t is being
tested officially in New York, while in
Philadelphia il is said already TO have
achieved good results.

TRAINING YOUNG HORSES.

Training horses requires skill and
patience, particularly much of the lat
ter. BY controlling your own temper
you will be better able TO gain control
over the horse you wish TO handle. Be
gentle with the colts n gain their
confidence. Do not attempt TO make
them do too much at first. Instruct
In one thing uitl it is thoroughly
learned. When horses are two OF three
years old it is time to begin to break
them TO harness. At the same time the
young horse should be taught to tear
nothing. He should be taken to places
where railroad trains pass or where
stand and blow off steam
and whistle. At first the young horse,
particularly If a country one, will be
BE patient and he will get
over this. Dc not yell at him. When
you do so you simply make him more
nervous. Work with him until you as
sure him he is not going TO be hurt and
he will then go with you where you
urge him. Another thing, always train
a horse to lead and to walk fast. New
err strike a colt or any other domegtic
on the head and never kick or
club them. In fact. the whip is of very
little use. The horse wants To please
you and will do so IL given proper
treatment. Try 1t.

Chinese Cows and Butter Fat.

Consul Wilbur T.. Gracey, Of Using,
tau, transmits the following report re-
garding cattle in the Chinese province
of Shangtung:
Il am Informed by DR.. Martini thai
a most curious fact has been discovered
by him and his assistants in relation To
the percentage OF butter fat contained
in the milk of the Chinese ows These
locally grown animals are much smaller
than our home COWS, and give a much
smaller quantity Of milk, but II con
tains z TO s per cent fat, while cows
milk in the United States seldom yields
more h a 2 to 3 per cent fat, and 4
per cent Is considered extraordinary.
This increased percentage of fat is said
to be due to the bear cake fed to the
animals here. Peanuts and beans are
grown throughout this province in large
quantities and crushed into peanut oil,
and bean oil, which is exported in large
quantities. The refuse from the mills
is pressed into round cakes, measuring
about Is inches in diameter and two TO
three inches thick, which is largely ex-
ported 10 Japan for use as a fertilizer,
and Us fed to cows, oxe and all draft
animals. The bean cake when used
is pounded up In rough granite NOR
tars and mixed with animals food, and
all domestic animals In this n
seem to appreciate its peculiar flavor.
THE large percentage of fat con-
tanned in the milk here makes II unsat-
isfactory for drinking purposes, espe-
cialIy for children. but it produces ex-
cellent butter In large quantities. there
being very little waste material, and II
is SO easily manufactured that merely
shaking the milk In a st0opered bottle
for a few moments will produce but
