PROGRESS OF COOPER TRIAL
Court Declares Jurors and Not De-
PENDANTS Are on Trial.

Nashville. Tenn, Feb. 3.-Many
people are under the impression that
the trial now in progress here is that

j. Cooper and John ID. Sharp charged
with the killing of former United
States Senator Carmack Judge Hart
however, gravely insists that it is the
jurors who are on trial. Two have
been convicted and excused on
charges. The case against the third,
j. M. Whitworth, is proceeding.
Judge Anderson of the defense rose
to question of personal privilege as
soon as the court was declared in ses-
sion.
Il object to headline In a morning
paper which says that Defense at

this is false. We did not examine

pressed an opinion The story itself
as written is correct, but the headline
is misleading and we ask for redress. .

this solution of the problem. The San
Francisco Chronicle complains that
the feeling against California in the
East is entirely based on two main
motives, both sordid-one is to keep
solid with Japan and thereby promote
the sale of cotton goods and kerosene,
no matter at what cost to the unfortu-
nate people of the Pacific coast, and
the other is to force congress to make
heavier appropriations for the army
and navy"
The Chronicle predicts the exclu-
sion of Japanese by domestic law as
the only logical solution of the prob
lem and it maintains that in this de-
sire to keep the Pacific coast "a white
mans country two-thirds of the peo-
pie of the country are with California.
In the meantime Governor Gillett and
Speaker Walter Stanton of the as

Asks President Of Senate and Speaker
of House to Hold Up the Anti-Japa.
nese Resolution Already Passed by
One Branch-Declares object De
sired viii Be Injured by Any Rad
ical Action at This Time.
Washington, Feb. 4. President
Roosevelt sent for Senator'S New
lands and Nixon of Nevada and Borah
of Idaho and talked over the Japanese
situation with them. The president
had said that he would not take any
action relative to the work of the
lower house of the Nevada legisla
ture in denouncing the Japanese, but
despite the fact that the two Nevada
senators would not talk 1T is under
stood they took away with them re
quests to get into touch at once with
the members of the Nevada state sen.
ate and stop further progress of the
resolution now before that body. The
fact that Senator Newlands is q Dem.
ocrat and Senator Nixon a Repub-
lican makes 1t possible to influence
the state senate to the extent of hold
ing up the resolution that has gone
through the house Senator Borah's
visit was to tell the president that he
did not look for any outbreak in his
state such as that in Nevada.
Nixon Appeals to Legislators.
After leaving the White House Sen
ator Nixon sent the following teIe
gram to the president of the Nevada
senate and the speaker OF the assem-.
bly,:
The Japanese question, like the
Chinese question, is non-partisan to
all Nevada's citizens | take it that
the object of the resolution now be-
fore the Nevada legislature is a seri-
Gus one and was introduced for the
purpose of securing beneficial results
Personally | have no desire to inject
my views, but after conversation
with the president feel that it is my
duty as a representative of the people
of Nevada to suggest to the legisla
ture, through you gentlemen, that the
very object of the resolution may be
injured by radical action at this time. Z"
The president assured the Nevada
senator's that his only desire in the
Japanese matter was to promote the
general welfare and he urged the ne
ceSSity of avoiding all comUlications

SOLDIERS MORE coNTENTED.-
Improved Conditions Among the En-

Improved Conditions Among the En-
listed Men in the ArFny.ss
There Is a growing FEELING OF CON
tentment and satisfaction among the
enlisted men of the service. Within
the pest weeks many old soldiers who
had taken tkeir discharge from the
army after twenty or more years OF
service have re.enlisted, while the dis
charges by purchase have very mate
rally decreased, having of late been
confined almost exclusively to men
serving in the. first and second year
of their first enlistment.
TIE improved conditions of the
service and it's increased attractive
ness are illustrated as far as the army
is concerned in the case of an old sol
der who was drawing pension in the
city of Washington, and who was en-
pIoyed on the local police force, his
aggregate pension being about $50 a
month. This man has re-enlisted.
He had served about twenty-three
years, and two enlistments with al
lowance of double tine service In the
tropics would make him eligible for
retirement, and as he had been as
sured in advance of being made a nom
commissioned officer soon after his
new enlistment he has every reason
to count on retirement as sergeant
or first sergeant within a compara-
lively short time on retired pay, with
communication allowances, OF about $54
q month.

Papuan Medicine Mems Method.

Papuan medicine men are regarded

Those l have met certainly seemed
energetic and hard working. They sit
close to the patient, massaging the
seat of psin with much vigor, and
while they are thus rubbing make a
noise with their lips rather like that
which a groom makes when rubbing
down horse.
The process is firing one, and the
medicine man stops at intervals to
drink hot water in which taro has
been boiled. Els object is to extract
some mysterious foreign substance
from the sick mans body. and If he
succeeds in this he receives a fee,
otherwise he gets nothing. mo cure,

WARM AIR ABOVE THE COLD.
A Curious Fact Recently Observed by
MeteoroloQists.

Meteoroiogists.
Students Of the upper air were as
tonished when the little balloons they
sent up, with self-recording thermome-
ters, told them one day that in the
high atmosphere there is a stratum
which is warmer than the air immedi-
ately below it. No one has yet ex-
planned this strange inversion Of tenn
perature, but it has now been observ-
ed 80 many times in different parts Of
the world that there can be no doubt
about it.
II was discovered in 1891, almost
simultaneously by Mr.. Teisserenc de
Bort near Paris, and by Professor ASS
mann in Germany. Since then nearly
all the balloons that have risen above
10000 feet in central Europe have pen
etrated this stratum of warmer air.
Nc one knows yet its upper limits.
In England it has been found that
the average height Of this layer OF
warmer air is about $4,000 feet.
In the last three years DR.. A. Law
renee Rotch has set af1oat seventy
seven ballonssondes at St Louis. Most
OF those which rose higher than $4,000
feet entered the stratum of warmer
temperature.
On October 8, for instance, the tenn
perature at Al 900 feet was 81 degrees
Fahrenheit, while at the greater alti-
tude of 54,100 feet the temperature
had risen to u degrees. Two days later
the coolest temperature-80 degrees,
was found at 39.700 feet, while only
$500 feet higher the temperature rose
to SO degrees.
This warmer stratum of air has not
yet been discovered over the tropical
Atlantic, but the noteworthy fact has
been established that above the eaua-
tor in summer it is colder at a height
of eight miles than it is in winter at
the same height in north temper
ate regions. Meteorologists now think
they have reason to believe that this
warmer air exists throughout the trop-
ical regions at heights exceeding 3d.
900 feet and that it is probably uni
versal phenomenon existing at some
height all around the globe.
