LACK OF FERMENTATION
Sought to Be Proved In HaIns Trial
Through Real Estate Man.

Flushing, l.. l., May 4.-With thir-
teen of the defense's witnesses dis
posed of. the Hams trial started on its
third week before Justice Garretson in
the supreme court here. Perhaps the
most important bit of testimony in be-
half Of Captain Peter c. Hams, Jr., the
defendant, charged with the murder
Of William r. Annis, came when Leo
Bugg, a real estate dealer and a mem
Der of the Bayside Yacht club, where
Annis was shot. testified that he had
discussed the merits of certain prop
erty adjoining the yacht club with
Thornton Hams, the defendants
brother, and at one time made an APP
pointment with Thornton Hams to
meet him at the yacht club.
Bugg's testimony tends to show lack

PENDANT and to ~corroborate that of
Thornton Hams, who testified that he

club IN Aug. Is last. the day or which
Annis vas killed, for the purpose of
finding Bugg or his partner, Jesper-
son. to inspect the Bayside property.
Most Of the days session was occu-
pied by the examination of officers Of
the United States army and govern
ment employees, stationed at Fort Ham
ilton and Fort Hancock, and the negro
servants VINO were employed in Cap
tain Hams household at Fort Hamil-
tor {. the time he was in the Philip
pines. The army men testified to con-
versations with Captain Hams at vari-
u times during July and August,
1908, and characterized his speech and
conduct upon these occasions as IRA
tional."

Both Wilbur and Orville Wright

ENDORSE LOCK CANAL

Many Of the congrcssmen Left New

That the Lock Type Is Better Of the

themselves as delighted with their ex-
