LONG TRIP TO VIEW ECLIPSE
Smithsonian Professor Goes to Pacific
Island, where sun IL Cow
cred Entirely.

WASHINGTON, Jan. SIN order to OBJ
serve the eclipse of the sun today, which
appears as a total eclipse in the tropical
Pacific ocean, c. G. Abbot. director of the
Astro-physo observatory of the Smithson-
ian institute has been sent to Flint Island
400 miles northwest of Tahiti. The eclipse
is total between II and IL o'clock today In
that longitude which corresponds to be-
tween 4 and o'clock Washington time
Mr. Abbot, who with an assistant Joined
party headed by Prof. W. w. Campbell
of Lick Observatory, California, sailed on
the steamship Mariposs from San Fran
cisco to Papeete. Tahiti. on November q
The gunboat Annapolis furnished trans
portation between Tahiti and Flint Island
Mr. Abbot's observations comprise an ex-
animation with the Langley bolometer Of
the suns corona especially toward its
inner part to help decide what is the most
probable cause of its luminosity. For this
coronal light three sources have been sug-
gested. viz: The reflection of ordinary
sun light the emission Of light owing to
the high temperature OF small particles
near the sun, and the emission of light by
luminousness like that of the aurora bor-
calls It is proposed also to observe with
instruments the peculiarities of sky light
before the day of the eclipse so that even
II clouds should obscure the eclipse there
would still be something of value brought
back from the trip.

NO RATES GIVEN MERCHANTS
Western Passenger Association De-
cIines 10 Make Reductions to
business Men.

CHICAGO. Jan. 3.-The spring and fall
merchants meetings which have for some
years past been the means of bringing
thousands Of business men from smaller
cities to Chicago and ST. Louis, will be
omitted this year. The executive committee
of the Western Passenger association yes
terday refused 10 grant the desired fare
and half rate in spite Of the pleas OF
representatives, OF the Chicago CONNER
cial and the St. Louis Merchants associa-
tions
The reason given is that the e-cent fare
laws OF Illinois. Missouri and other western
states have SO reduced passenger earnings
that It is no longer feasible to grant special
rates. Last spring, when the railroads
regularly charged 8 cents per mile, a rate
Of a fare and one-fifth was granted, and
o. i54 retailers from ChiCagJ's trade terri
tory came TO this city. Last autumn no
reductions in fare were granted and only
500 retailers came In TO the meeting.
The falling off at St Louis was less as
the Southwestern Passenger association
has continued TO grant the reduced rates

RIoTINe RESUMES AT MUNcIE
Street Cars Move with Difficulty, Men
Being stoned for Eff
forts.

MUNCIE, Ind Jan. 3.-Rioting was re-
sumed here today. The street cars were
started on tho regular schedule at o'clock
and were molested for several hours. A
crowd attacked two cars in the outskirts
of the city shortly after 10 o'clock hurting
stones and other missiles and after driving
off the crowd completely wrecked the cars.
Squads Of police were hurried to the place
and over fifty arrests were made. The jail
is nearly filled with rioters and orders
we're repeated to arrest every member of a
street gathering that contained more than
three persons r Two of today's rioters were
badly hurt, one of them being cut in the
throat with a knife, but not fatally hurt.
Several other outbreaks occurred about
noon. Police squads in automobiles dashed
back and forth quelling disorders and scat
tering crowds. Several shots were fired at
the cars manned by strikebreakers but no
one was hurt. A car was wrecked on
East Main street shortly after noon and
another on Walnut street. Traffic Man
ager Baldwin then ordered all cars with
drawn and made a demand that the troops
held at Indianapolis be moved here at
once. Adjutant General Perry wired Gov
ernor Hanly that the troops need not be
sent unless more serious trouble developed.

SUICIDE DUE TO INSOMNIA
JOhn w. Mueller Had Been Under
CnFe of Doctor for Several
Weeks.

MITCHELL. 8. D., Jan. Especial Tele-
gram)-The body Of John w. Mueller, who
came to his death by his own hand at
Lane yesterday, was brought to this city
for interment and the funeral will be held
tomorrow morning under the auspices Of
the knights of Columbus, in the Holy
Family Catholic church.
The suppositioh was that Mueller killed
himself because of financial troubles but
a statement from his physician. DR.. George
Burleigh, gives the cause a different foun-
dation. The physician stated today that
for the past five or six weeks Mueller has
been in a highly nervous and delirious con-
dition and that he had treated him for
insomnia and nervous disorders. He ex-
pressed It as his belief that Mueller was
wholly irresponsible for the act he com
mitted. Mueller carried 5000 life insur-
ance in the Knights Of Columbus and the

Battle.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Jan. 3,-(Speclal
Telegram AS the result of a hearing be-
fore him today, Judge Garland of the
United States court, in this city, on appli-
cation of the various railroads concerned,
granted a temporary injunction preventing
the railroad commissioners from putting
into effect proposed schedule Of new pas

to put the proposed new rate into effect
The temporary injunction will remain in
force until the hearing on the main case,
when the railroads will strive to have the
temporary injunction made permanent. The
date for this hearing has not yet been fixed.
Judge Garland sustained demurors to the

PENALTY FOR TRIPLE MURDER

cause of Crime.

LOUISVILLE KY Jan. 3. - Clarence
Sturgeon, 10 years of age, was executed in
the Jail yard here today. His extreme
youth was the basis of many unavsiling
efforts to procure his pardon.
The execution was delayed and rendered
extremely painful for those present by
reason Of failure of the mechanism to
work and a consequent delay Of several
minutes while the condemned man stood
riEidly awaiting the end. Sturgeon was so
light that the drop did not break his neck
and he was not pronounced dead for seven
teen minutes.
Sturgeon murdered Ira BruDer, James
Blackerly and Wllfred McMichsel one year

COUNTESS OF YARMOUTH SUES
sister of HARRY Thavv Brings Action
for Mill ncRtton of Mar
riRge with Earl.

LONDON, Jan. 3-rhe countess OF Var.
mouth. who was Miss Alice Thaw Of Pitts
burg, has begun proceedings for fhe nulli-
fcation of her marriage with the earl OF
Yarmouth The countess OF Yarmouth Is
a sister OF Harry X Thaw.
The Yarmouth case Is entered i'm the de-
Tended list for trial at the coming slttings of
the divorce court. 1t will be heard In
camera.
PITTSBURG. Jan. 3.-The news that the
countess of Yarmouth is seeking nullifi-
cation Of her marriage did not create much
surprise, as II had been known here for
some time that all was not well between
the couple.
II is said that the estrangement results
from two causes, the first the action Of the
earl during the first trial Of Harry X.
Thaw. the countess brother.
1t is said when the trial was about to
begin Yarmouth went to Egypt and lived
IN seciusion in the select colony of Eng
lish folk who reside there during the win
ter months. The second cause is said to
be the action of the Thaw family in de-
termining upon an insanity plea for Harry
Thaw
From reports received here from Lon
don during the last nonth It is said Yar-
mouth objected TO IN kanity figuring In the
New York trial on Tho ground that 1t would
have direct influence on the succession
of the Yarmouth estate In the event there
was an issue from the marriage.
It is also said the earls parents used
every influence to prevent the institution
of proceedings to nullify the marriage.
The Yarmouths were married two and a
half years ago by Rev. w. L. McEwan of
the Third Presbyterian church, the family
pastor, who also married Harry X. Thaw
and Evelyn Nesbit.

OBJECTIONS FROM FORAKER
Ohio Senator is Not Pleased with Call
for Primaries.
SAYS CONDITIONS ARE UNFAIR
Charges that Requirements of state
Committee Are Not Authorized by
statute-Refuses to he Bound
by Action,

CINCINNATI, Jan. IA flat refusal to
be bound by the conditions Of the call for
the republican state convention which is
to name a state ticket and select delegates
at-large to the national convention is the
conclusion reached by United states sena-
tor ]. b. Foraker, as announced In state
ment given to the press here tonight.
Primaries for test of strength between
Taft and Foraker as presidential candi-
dates we're provided for in the official
call, and the method provided is sharply
criticised by Senator Foraker.
The statement, in part, follows:
am not sure l understand the call, al
though ] have read It several times II |
and getting a stone. My idea in requesting
primaries was to have the election OF dele
gates brought home to the people, so that
in each ward, for instance, we could select
our immediate representatives. THIS call
makes all that impossible.
In addition, 1t prescribes requirements not
authorized by the statute and not within
the power Of the state central committee.
Some of the requirements are In direct
conflict with the statute. Some of them
are very burdensome. One in particular
is the requirement that before there can
be Taft ticket and a Foraker ticket there
must be petition signed by twenty times
the number of the candidates for delegates
and alternates. That would mean In this
county about 1900 slgners or petitioners.
The unreasonableness of the requirement
that there shall be 1900 petitioners TO au-
thorize ticket is shown not only by the
fact that the law makes no such require
ment, but that in cases where the law
authorizes county and city officers to be
nominated by Petition only 300 names are
necessary to nominate any county officer
and only fifty names are necessary to
nominate any municipal officer.
If i'm the contemplation of the law fifty
signers are enough to authorize placing a
mans name on the ticket for mayor OF
Cincinnati or Cleveland CertainS it is
beyond anything contemplated by the law
that 1000 signers should he necessary to
nominate a lot of delegates and alternates
to merely attend the state convention.
Such condition is unnecessary as well
as burdensome. II should be enough for
each party to select its own ticket and let
the people vote their preference
The counties are not bound to follow the
order of the state central committee, but
whether they will do so or not | am not
advised. So far as / am personally con-
cerned l shall make no effort to comply
with such uncalled for Illegal and arbi-
trary conditions.

PETTIBoNE'S LAWYERS MUTE
Prosecution spends Long Time ArEu-
Ing, but Defense VIII Say
Nothing.

BOISE. 1dsho. Jan. 3.-Intense interest
marked this the last day OF the Pettibone
trial. Before the prosecutions argument
by James II. Hawley was begun, Judge Hil-
ton, for the defense. announced that the
defense would not argue the case, and
Judge Wood stated that the jury would
be instructed as soon as Mr. Hawley fin
ished
Judge Wood announced that he would
refuse the request of the defense that the
jury be instructed that verdict OF guilty
could not be returned on the ground Of
conspiracy II the evidence showed that
Haywood was a member of the conspiracy
and the latters having been found not
guilty. He granted the instruction asked
by the state to the effect that II the de-
fendant had IN his possession evidence
which was not presented the fact could
be considered.
Attorney Hawley began his address by
referring to the sudden termination of
the case which left Darrow's opening
statement "a tumble OF broken promises. %
He said Darrow had promised to show
that Orchard was the most monumental
liar OF the age, but instead his testimony
was uncontradicted except in regard TO
the Bradley explosion and the depositions
in that incident, he said, when fully under
stood, corroborated and explained Orchard s
testimony.
why did they not put on the stand the
great array of witnesses brought from dis
tant states who sat in the court room day
after day?" asked Hawley. ut was be-
cause they dared not to do it; they dared
not with the testimony Of these witnesses
at the Haywood trial on record submit
them to cross-examination."
The evidence of Orchard was next taken
up, and the prosecutor said that under
ordinary circumstances such a story would
be taken with grain OF allowance, bu
the appearance and demeanor of the W.T.
ness, who neither tried to shield himself
nor to add to his crimes, gave the inn
preston that he was telling the exact
tru H.
orchard" he said, was cross-exam-
ined by one of the countrys most able
criminal lawyers, who had the testimony
of the Haywood case before him. but the
witness was not shaken, and on two oc-
casions forced his questioner to admit that
he was telling the truth when It had been
charged that he had contradcted him
self"
The law in the case was discussed at
length by Hawley especially the proof
required to establish conspiracy. Then a
review of the corroborative evidence was
begun
