ted Saturday for trial at the Old Bailey
for murder.
The police court proceedings lasted the
whole day and but little new evidence
was elected. The prosecution placed be-
fore the court documents containing the
prisoners handwriting which seems to
show conclusively that the crime was
long premeditated and in revenge for al
legged wrongs to India. The prisoner in
a brief statement said:
Il do not wish to say anything in de-
fence of myself but simply to prove the
justice of my deed. AS for myself I do
not think that an English law court has
any authority to arrest and detain me
death. That is the reason why 1 have
rot employed counsel. / maintain that it
is patriotic for Englishmen to fight
against the Germans. if they occupy this
country, then it is much more justifiable
and more patriotic in my case to fight
against the English. I hold that the Eng

The body was horribly decomposed

by the clothes and articles. The place
where the body lay, was not far from
her sons house, but away from the di-
rection she was taking to go there.

lied the fire commissioners to take any
steps thought necessary to meet the

The fire commissioners thereupOn
pressed into service all available tugs
and directed them in pulling out OF

drifting barge and the fiery area of
water. The tug men worked valiontly

with coal and lumber.
As the last vessel was towed to a
place of safety the tide turned and
carried with it the blazing quarter of
a mile of oil vomited forth by the Har-
rison.
With the source of danger removed
the firemen were able to devote their
entire energies to the Harrison. Tugs
were sent alongside her and Chief
Reuben D. Weeks of the Providence
fire department led a detail of men on
board the barge to direct the cata.'
racts of water turned on the Harrison,
by the battery of fire pumps from thk,
surrounding tugs. The thick, black
smoke from the burning oil made it
impossible for d human being to st ay

equipped with iron compartments. in

it was this method of construction. that

In the matter of kindness to animals
1t Is said that the Turk cannot be sur
passed. Thus at STEAMBOAT the wander
ing dogs are treated with great gentle
ness. and when puppies come into the
world they are lodged with their moth

vised kennels made out of old boxes
lined with straw and bits of carpet.
And frequently, when young Turk
happens to be flush of money, he goes
to the nearest bakers shop and buys a
quantity of bread, which he distributes
among the dogs Of the quarter, who
testify their gratitude by jumping up at
him with muddy paws and shifting
muzzles.
