BATTLES COURT
Most Consummate Actress
That Ever Appeared
on Stand
.FERvENT APPEAL TO JURY
Caught in Conflicting Stories by
Prosecution She Has Resort
to Tears.

Paris, Nov. 4-Mme Steinhea,
whose examination on the charge of
murder of her husband and mother
in-law, Nine. Japy concluded today,
made wonderful single-handed fight
for life, displaying as much skill IN
cOnfounding the judge as in battling
the police. While in the dock she Dre-
sented dramatic figure, her black
mourning gown accentuating the pal
lor of her face. When caught in the
meshes of conflicting stories she had
recourse to tears or with uplifted
eyes and arms extended made fervent
appeals to the jury. The most ex-
perienced court reporters in france
consider Nine. Steinheil as the most
cCnsummate actress who ever appear,
ed before the bar Of justice.
Confesses to Murder.
Paris, Nov, t. 4.-Lefevere, man who
is about 81 years of age, was then dra-
matically introduced and told the story
of the murders. He was placed under
arrest. At the same time the court
warned the Jury that this might be an
other attempt to battle Justice.
Intense Interest in Trial.
Paris, Nov. 4.-The procedure of
the criminal court of France which
makes the judge the prosecuting at
tCrney naturally awakens sympathy
for the prisoner and the public belief
is strong that Nine. Steinheil will not
be convicted The intense interest in
the case is shown by the fact that the
newspaper every half hour print an
extra containing the testimony. The
old scandal that greW~out of the fatal
illness at the prisoners home cf Fe
lix Faure, president of France, has
not been mentioned in the trial, al
though Judge de Wales announced he
did not intend to shield any one.

HOOK WORM IN
VADES CALIFORNIA
More Than a Hundred Cases
Treated by One San Fran
cisco Doctor.
ITS RAVAGES ARE SPREADING
Imported by Laborers From
West Indies and Oriental
Travellers.

San Francisco, Nov. 4.-The. hook
worm disease has been brought to
San Francisco from Hawaii and the
Orient, and hundreds of cases of hith-
erto unexplained detection, laziness
and supposed lack of moral initiative
are now attributed to the inroads Of
the little parasite. DR.. Hobart Gum,
who is directing the campaign against
the disease said today:
Il have treated more than a hun
dred cases of hook worm in this city.
The disease was very rare in Califor-
MIA until four years ago. A colonoy
of laborers born in the West Indies
came here from Hawaii and 10 per
cent were found seriously affected.
They were brought to Hawaii by sugar
planters but their languor due TO the
ravages of the worm made their cello
niZation failure and the laborers
drifted to this state. Hundreds of
them still live here and in the towns
about the bay, and nearly half of
them are endangering the public
health" In addition to the islanders,
many soldiers from the Philippines
and travellers and business men from
the Orient have returned afflicted
with the small campfire.

dolph Cf Austria, and his own sister,
Countess Marie Vetsera, that is the
question that the Austrian legation at
Washington is endeavoring to clear
up through local Consul George Won
Griyicic. The investigation was be-
gun upon telegraphic orders from
Washington and grew out of a tele,
gram to San Francisco from unknown
source, requesting funds for the burial
of Louis Won Vetsera who died in this
city On October 80. The local consul
at once sought the aid of Mayor Speer
to locate the body of Vetsera. 1t is

police have been tracing the career Of
Frank Wyckoff. They have learned
that his real name was Louis Won Vet

in this city. He was cCnsumptiye
and penniless during his last days.

Army in Conflict.

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 4.-Asserting that
an armed clash between federal and

to States Attorney General Hart, ad-
vocates armed resistance on the part
of the state authorities in resisting a
writ of habeas corpus issued by a fed

tcdy of state court. The letter of
Mr., Watson says in part:
The people are considerably
wrought up against the federal judges.
There is more profound hatred of the
federal judiciary, especially the lower
courts, than any institution in Amer
ica."
Burlesquing the idea that federal
troops would be sent to enforce the
orders of federal court in a case OF
that kind, the letter continues:
President Taft knows as we'll as |

there is an army of nearly 100000
banded together true to the organiza-

an opportunity to come into collision
with the federal army That is one
reason why Taft and Roosevelt are
so eager to increase the number OF
federal troops"
