DECLARES THAT THEY SHOULD NOT ToRURE HER IN THAT
 CRUEL WAY.
Attorney for the Defense Will Base His Arguments Mainly on the
 Womans Mental Con-
dition.

Paris, Nov. 9.-The sixth day of the trial Of Madame Steinhcil ad- yanced no further the solution Of the mystery underlying the murder O. the woman's husband. Adolpn Steinhe,l, painter, and her step-mothar. Madame Japy.
 While the testimony given today was indirectly more damaging to the defendant, the whole case still rests upon purely circumstantial evidence.
 The judges attitude toward the ac- cused woman is becoming distinctly more linient and at the same time the defendants powers of resistance seem already exhausted under the ter rife ordeal to which she has been subjected.
 Have pity on mel l should not be tortured" she exclaimed soon after the case opened this morning, but during the latter half of the day, she sat forlorn and dejected, the personi- fication of grief and misery, allowing the gravest accusations to pass un- challenged. Several newspaper re. porters who had interviewed Madame Steinheil soon after the crime, gave { testimony that was most damaging to her defense.
 One of these witnesses declared that Madame Steinhe.. had said. af- ter a whispered conference with Mar iette Wolf the cook at her home, that the Wolf woman would deny every thing if her mistress was arrested. Judge Devalles called the witness at tention to the gravity of his testi- mony and the witness replied:
 q accept full responsibility.
 It is learned that the line of de. fense to be followed by NJ. Aubin. Madame ~,einheil's counsel. will be based in a large measure on the woman's mental condition.
 While insisting uRon her entire in nocence of complcity in the crme, NJ. Aubin will admit the whole mis- erable story Of her immoral past and will contend that exposure and the suspicious aroused concerning her had so affected her hysterical and passionate nature. that it drove her into condition of frenzied desDalr. rendering her irresponsible for her acts and accusations after the crime.

SECRETARY 5ALLINGER OF lN- TERROR DEPARTMENT AN
 sWERS WRITER.
Allegations of Fraud in Connection With Coal Lands Are Refuted in No Uncertain Terms by
 the Secretary.

Washington. D. C., Nov 9.--Secre- tafy Richard K. Ballnger, Of the de- rartment of the interior this afternoon issued the following statement:
 My attention has been directed to the text of an article purporting to have been written by Mir. L. R. Glayis, which is to appear in Golfers Weekly and advance copies of which have been furnished by that weekly to the press.
 The Glayls story is a tissue of falssehoods and insinuations. utterly unwauranted in view of the facts easily obtained by anybody who wants them The statemehe of Glavis has gained nothing eith-r as to its veri- fication or justification in thc interval since its presentation to the president, and in view of the complete vindica- ton by the president of myself and the other officers of the department concerned I will make no further statement at present.
 Commissioner Fred Dennett. of the general land office, made the following statement regarding the Glavis story;
 "The article is simply a repetition of the chargess ubmltted to the presi- dent, and which the president. after examining all the evidence and the official records. characterized as 'shreds of suspicion and so disingsn- jus that he authorized Glavis' dismiss sal, It is the same false color of iso- lated portions of the record and of a series of transactions which, in their entirety, refute the inferences Glavis wishes drawn from the portions pub lisheJ.'
 Gavis an Ansnlas.
 Walla Walla, Wash, Nov 9.-I1x- Governor Miles c. Moore. one of the claimants to the so-called Cunningham group of coal mine claims in Alaska who Is in this city today, made statement in reply to Glavis in which he says:
 Part of Mir Cilayis' communication containing what purports to be statement from mo has one serious defect It contains no truth.
 "Glavis quotes me as saying Sec reiary Ballinger would have patented the Cunningham claims but for my protest. No such statement was made by Ballinger to me, or by me to Glavis."

SURPRISING RESULTS OF HEAVY VOTING YESTERDAY IN THE
 SUBSCRIPTION CONTEST.
Which Makes Many Changes in Posi- tions of candidates-Second Dis trict Shows Radical
 Changes.
Changes

There were big doings around the Sentinel4Record's ballot boxes yester- day and the voting was pretty heavy. When the votes were counted 1t was learned that there were two new leaders, one in each district. Miss Ida Marx not being satisfied with her position as fourth didn't do a thing but take the seat in the contest band wagon, while Miss Delie Bancroft is ready to take the reins just Rs soon as there is ia chance.
 In the Second district, as usual, the hustlers are hustling and Miss Bab- cock goes from fourth to first place in this district, with Miss Ruth Law renee second and Miss Eura Barnett coming from away down in seventh place to third. so you see how easy it is to get up towards the top when you make the effort.
 Many other contestants made such surprising gains that their friends and supporters will be pleased when they scan the lists this morning. There were something like 31,000 votes cast yesterday.
The Sentinel=record., 1909-11-10

Another point is that no one con nected with the Sentinel-Recond nor with the contest department, except the contest manager himself, knows the numbers of the consecutiyely numbered subscription books held by the various young ladies in the con test and as he is working to sustain the reputation that he and his com pany bear for fairness, 1t is safe to say that there will be no favoritism shown to any candidate. Without knowing what books are held by any candidate, no person can possibly ob- tain any information regarding the size of that candidates reserve strength and this knowledge is being carefully guarded.
 Points to Remember
 Remember that the first period of the contest will close next Saturday evening and that only money that Is brought or sent to this office by the contestants and their supporters or mailed to this office before 8 o'clock that evening, will count under the first period schedules. All remit tances and communications should be addressed to the Contest Department and all money sent by check or mon- ey order payable to the Sentinel-Rec- ord
