standard. but the United States has
four. These time sections, as they are
called, were introduced in the year
1888. chiefly for the benefit Of the rail-
roads. and are known as the Eastern
Central. Mountain and Pacific. The
eastern section extends from the At
lantic Coast to an irregular line drawn
from Detroit to Charleston, S. c.; the
Central includes all between this line
and another extending from Bismark,
N. d., to the mouth of the Rio Grande
River; the Mountain extends from here
to the western boundary of Montana,
Idaho, Utah and Arizona, and the Pa
cific includes all the remainder Of the
country to the Pacific Coast

she heard more pistol shots. Con-

house, where inmates bound up her
and escorted her into Hacken-
sack today. BY that time the coroner
was working on her mothers case. The

station, Where her story threw light on
several ,hases of the affair. Miss Ebc-
hard says her mother had $1,000 in

German notes when they left for their
excursion. The $1,000 was missing when
