HEAVY LIST TO PORT.
Something Seriously Wrong With the
Cruiser Colorado.

Seattle. Wash, Sept. pa heavy list
to port which developed when the dock
was being filled, caused considerabl -;
difficulty in floating the cruiser Colo
RADIO, just repaired, after going
aground at Lip Lip Point, yesterday
afternoon.
Fifteen feet of water was taken into
the dock shortly before o'clock. A
close examination of the hull was made
to ascertain whether or not any of the
newly adjusted plates leaked. The ex-
animation led the officers to believe
that everything was satisfactory and
water was allowed to come into the
dock AS the ship lifted from the keel
block she sank on her port side. The
water was shut off and an attempt was
made to determine where the trouble
was.
At O'Clock the ship was still in a
dangerous position and the tide had
begun to run out. With the vessel off
the keel blocks it was necessary to get
the ship out at once or serious injury
to the hull or the dock might have &C.
Cured with the dropping of the tide
A line was passed to the yard tug
Pawtucket and the cruiser careening
from side to side, wasStowed into deep
water. AS the ship did not right her
self when in deep water, she was
moored at a pier. A diver will be sent
down to examine the hull. 1t is thought
that one of the new plates on the port
side leaks.

The WAlTLOW CASE.
Mrs. sapp and the Mildly Girls Were
on the Stand.

lola, Sept. 22.-One of the impor-
tant matters of the Whitlow case
came when Judge Foust ruled that
expert testimony as to whether or
not the wounds on Miss Sapp's throat
were self-inhicted was not admissible
Whitlow testified in the murder trial
that Miss Sapp committed suicide in
his presence. The state was attempt
ing to prove by expert testimony
that the wounds were not self-inf1icted
and therefore that Whitlow was guilty
of perjury. The defense objected to
opening up this part Of the murder
trial and was sustained.
Mrs. Sapp went on the stand in
the afternoon. She told of the night
of the tragedy, of her hearing screams,
of her going out in the dark and
stumbling over the body of the dead
girl. substantially as she did in the
murder trial.
Lola and Lula Mildly followed Mrs.
Sapp. They closed the evidence of
the state. Their testimony was lis
tened to closely by the few specta-
tors in the courtroom. Whitlow made
former trial in which he said he was
informed the Mildly girls would swear
that Miss Sapp had told them she
loved Whitlow and If he did not marry
her she would do something ne would
be sorry for, but that they could not
be found and for him to go to trial
without having their testimony would
be unjust to him. The state claims
that he perjured himself in the afti-
davit in that he we'll knew that they
would not testify as he had sworn
and that he could have found them
had he wanted to.
The Mildly girls in their testimony
testified that Miss Sapp had never
told them what Whitlow swore he
believed they would testify to- They
also testified that they had never
been summoned by the defendant to
testify in his behalf. However. in
cross-examination one of the girls ad-
mitted that the sheriff OF Kingman

"THE PALE GIRL"
Did Not Know Coffee Was the Cause

OEA Nob AHoW OOHee was the cause.
In cold weather some people think
cup of hot coffee good to help keep
warm. So it is-for a short time but
the drug-caheine- on the heart
to weaken the circulation and the re-
action is to cause more chilliness.
There is a hot wholesome drink
which a Oak. girl found after a time,
makes the blood warm and the heart
strong.
She says:

suit I had a dull headache regularly,
suffered from Indigestion, and had
no life in me.

came very nervous, never knew what
1t was to be real well. Took medi-
cine but it never seemed to do any
good.
''Since being married my husband
and 1 both have thought coffee was
harming US and we would quit. only
to begin again. although we felt it
was the same as poison to US.
Then We got some Postum. Well,
the effect was really wonderful. My
complexion is clear now. headache
gone, and I have a great deal of en-
ergy I had never known while drink
ing coffee.
