AS IN A DREAM.
Nine. Steinheil Hears the States
Attorney Sum Up
In Dispassionate Language the
Evidence Against Her.
TELLTALE INK STAINS
Found ON Her Knee Made to
Serve His Purpose.
Declares She Acted With Intent
to Deceive Throughout.

Paris, Nov. 12.-Many we'll dressed,
stylish appearing women managed to
gain entrance to the gloomy, Sitting
court room today to hear the conclud
ing arguments in the trial of Nine.
Steinheil.
The accused woman, deathly pale.
walked unaided TO her seat but her
step was mechanical and her arms
hung Imply at her side. When she
had taken her place she sat with low
cred eyes like one in dream.
Beginning with the words: I'VE will
live again the tragic night Trouard
Riolle who had opened his summing
up for the prosecution yesterday. in
cold, dispassionate words undertook to
reconstruct the scenes in the Steinheil
home on the night of the tragedy and
on the morning following. He mar
shaled the testimony of the witnesses
to establish his contention that the
burglar story was ia brication and the
pretended binding of Nine. Steinheil
a farce; that the money claimed to
have been stolen never existed and
that the jewels which the widow as
serted had been taken from the house
were afterward found in her possess
sion.
Ink Stains on Her Knees.
M. Riolle dwelt particularly on the
telltale ink stains which the two ply
sicians who examined the injuries of
Nine. Steinheil claimed to have found
on her knee. The prosecutor claimed
that during the binding of Nine. Japy
an ink stand in her room had been
overturned, the fluid being spattered
upon the bedding and upon the ac-
cused
He insisted the evidence proved the
i11raSc Of ho of
the commission of the crime had
been simulated and that subsequent
developments had confirmed the sus-
picion that she had acted with hy-
pocrisy throughout.
1t was when the police had definite
ly rejected her story of the Gaberdine-
clad burglars and she saw her lover
Borderel slipping from her net be-
cause the mystery was unSolved, the
prosecutor said. that Nine Steinheil
in desperation began to accuse inno-
cent persons. He added:
"She wished to avoid the probable
ity of a non-suit in her favor because
such an outcome of the case would
not satisfy Borderel. and so, unhesitat-
ingly, she placed the accusing pearl
in the pocket of her servant, Remyi
Couillard.'
AS the advocate general proceeded he
became increasingly severe in his de-
nunciation of the prisoner and fire.
quently murmurs of dissent came from
those in the court room.
AS she heard herself described as a
cold. calculating fiend with a soft ex-
terror. Nine. Steinheil bit her lips and
raised her clenched hands in mute pro-
test. At the conclusion of his descrip-
tion of the night scene when the widow
made her alleged false statements to

ATCHISON IS HIT.
Central Branch Removing Terminals
to st. Joe.

Atchison, Nov. 12.-Is the Missouri
Pacific 'tback firing already as a re-
suit of the agitation against the Cen
trail Branch?
An order was issued today from the
offices at st. Louis, making the ter
minus of Central Branch freight
trains number 553 and 564 in st. JOS
eph, which will probably necessitate
the removal of two crews from Atch-
ison to st. Joseph. ten men all told.
The new order becomes effective No
vember Is.
1t is talk that the change of the two
freights is only a forerunner of what
will happen within the next thirty
days. that of making st. Joseph the
terminus of all Central Branch freight
and passenger trains This would
mean big loss to Atchison in popu-
lation. It would not fall short of one
hundred should the change be made
There would be a general shakeup in
Central Branch affairs
Several months ago a report was
sent out from ST. Joseph that the
1t was strongly denied at the Missouri
Pacific offices in Atchison at that
time.
Jno. Dawson, attorney for the state
railroad board said today when shown
the above dispatch that this report is
at variance with all his information
on the subject. He says that he has
been assured that the Central Branch
has taken steps both to improve the
track and the service and today the
board authorized the company to
borrow $29,0OO,000 for this purpose.

SNOW AND RAIN.
Kansas Is Being Treated to Variety of
Weather Today.

Snow in the northwest.
Rain in the southwest.
Drizzle in the southeast.
Rain in the northeast.
Rain in the central.
This is the way Kansas is taking
the weather today. The Rock Island
reports downy fall on their Colorado
division and the weather is cold and
damp. On it's eastern Kansas division
the Rock Island weather man, Superin-
tendent Swortwood, says that the
weather is ditto of the variety in To-
peka.
The Santa Fe reports rain all last
hight down near Chanute and Arkansas
City. In the southwest they report a
very light rain. In the southeast it is
the same.
Thus Kansas is one continual damp,
dreary, drizZle and cold today. 1t is
a "b1ue'' day, especially since its long
list of predecessors-days that have re-
minded one of spring and summer com
bined.

STORM MOVES SLOWLY.
Tropical Disturbance Is Headed To-
ward WindWard Passage.

Washington Nov. 12.-The tropical
disturbance which undoubtedly caused
considerable damage on the island of
Jamaica since last Saturday was NOV
ing slowly today toward the Windward
passage and heading almost directly
for the Bahamas and Bermudas.
The disturbance is nearer to Haytl
than to Cuba and reports to the wealth
er bureau indicate it is moving very
slowly.
Meteorological experts of the wealth
er bureau said they believed the storm
lad fingered over Jamaica for some
days. Most of the damage to the is
land, they believe. must have resulted
from the heavy rains which accompan-
led the storm, rather than from wind.
No trouble is expected along the At
lantic coast.
Communication Still Cut OFF.
New York, Nov. Accommodation
with Kingston. Jamaica, and other in
terror points on the island remained as
completely Gu, off today as it has been
since last Tuesday, but the local cable
companies reported from their stations
at Holland bay that the weather has
moderated.
All the cables between Jamaica and
points east are interrupted and Porto
Rico ST. Thomas and other places in
the West Indies are cut off.
The ocean transportation companies
are anxiouSly awaiting news of the ex-
tent of the disturbance.

Grief KIIIs strons man.

Intolerable regret, crumbling all the vital
forces of his being, is believed To have
caused the death of Charles Wingren, who
lived with his wife and seven children in
Inez. Crookston county, MINI Wingren,
who was only q years old. was strong and
healthy until a few weeks ago, when he
shot and killed a %neighbor, his closest
friend, in mistake for a deer. The official
report of Wingren's death stated he died
OF apoplexy. a rare complaint for q young
man who has lived his whole life in the
healthy open air. Those who knew Win
gren best say he died Of a broken heart.
Wingren shot his friend when hunting a
few weeks ago, and his remorse was so
keen that, after giving himself up, he
pleaded guilty to a charge OF manslalghter
as soon as he was brought u trial. lie
was sentenced to a term in the reformatory,
but public opinion was SO strong that he
was morally innocent that petitions in his
favor poured In. and the pardon board

panic which began in the United States
more than a year ago, and which has af-
fected every trading nation. The chief
trouble is not as to our condition. but as
to our methods OF regulating the revenues
and expenditures of the government. Japan
is abundantly able to pay all its obligations
and to carry out all its hopes of develop
ment for the future; but 1t must go slowly
and along different lines from those of our
past administrations. What we expect to
do is to take more time in making national
over a greater number Of years. In the
past we have been regulating our revenues
by our expenditures, making up the de-
ficits, If any, by loans. We shall issue no
more loans for the present, but shall de-
eide what our revenues are TO be and
regulate our expenditures by them. We
expect also to reduce the national debt at
least 100000 a year"
will your new policy curtail the size of
the Japanese army or navy or its plans
for the future?"
mo; the present establishment will be
continued. but we shall economize where
possible, and as to the military works
which have been planned, including the in
crease of our navy, we shall delay the COM
pletion of them so as to spread the pay
ments for them out over more years. For
six years allowed for such works to one
of eleven years. The sum OF money thus
postponed amounts to about $l0O, OOO, 1000.
Omaha daily bee., 1909-01-31

Does Japan need foreign capital?"
IF you mean foreign loans. l should say
no." replied Marquis Katsura. 1T is a
part of my policy to curtail rather than in
crease our foreign Indebtedness. We wish
to cut down our national debt and to put
ourselves in the way of gradually paying
it. l would like to see our bonds held more
largely at home"
Tell me something about your banks
and industrials, your excellency. Are such
combinations Of capital proving profitable?''
Yes. Most of our banks are paying good
dividends. and they have been doing so for
years. 1t is the same with many of our
factories and with our street car lines and
other such institutions. We are doing what
we can to encourage combinations of cap
ital, and the bigger the combination the
better it will please us. We believe such
things to be necessary to our home and
foreign trade and to our commercial de-
velopment. At present the dividends paid
are very high, but that is always so in a
new and fast growing country. We have
a high interest rate. 1 should like to see
it reduced, but not too much. as when
money is easy to get our people are liable
to run into all sorts of speculations, and
that always means panic and financial dis.
