SIMPSON WAS SHOCKED.
nv Associated Press.)

Boston, Dec. TIA record crowd
was on hand in the East Cambridge
probate court to hear the story of
the North Dakota ranchman who al
leges that he is Daniel Blake Rus
sell, the long missing heir to half the
100000 fortune of Daniel Russell,
of Melrose, Mass, and who is making
a phenominal fight for recognition
against the most bitter declarations
and testimony that he is not the read
heir, but an imposter.
1t was 2:S0 p. m. when the claim
ant took the stand in his own behalf.
He said that he is Daniel Blake Rus
sell; that he was born in Melrose,
Mass, Jan. 80, 1862. He named the
birthplace Of his father and mother
and of his brother, William G. Rus
sell, who contests the claim of the
witness. He said he left home on
June S, 1885, and never returned un-
til last spring. The court then ad-
journed. 1t is expected that the
ranchman's story will occupy several
days of the hearing.
Senator Leslie A. Simpson, attorney
for the claimant, sustained a severe
electric shock shortly after the court
opened. The flash of light and ac-
companying explosion created fair
sized paic. The shock was occasion
ed by his hand short-circuiting some
wires connected with the electric
lock on the desk of the clerk of the
court. His wrist is painfully burned,
but otherwise Mr.. Simpson was un-
injured, and he remained in court.
The defense also received shock,
but of different nature. Senator
Simpson declared that Ferdinand B.
Almy, one of the co-executors of the
Russell estate, is keeping Mrs. Han
nah Lynde, the aged aunt of Daniel
Blake Russell, under his influence.

EXAMINATION INTO THE
STRIKE CONDITIONS.
Railroads Claim They Have Nothing
to Arbitrate - Both Sides Maintain
They Have the Best of the Sftua-
ton - Strike Apparently is Far
From Settled.

St. Paul. Dec. 17.-In his endeavor
to find out the actual business con-
ditions resulting from the switch
determined upon a first-hand inves-
tigation and will not rely entirely
upon the statements given out by
the railroads and the strikers as the
claims of each have been at variance.
Accordingly, employees of the rail-
road commission and the labor de-
partment of the state have been in
structed to personally call upon
the large and small ship
pers and receivers in the small towns
as we'll as in the large cities of the
state and determine actual condi-
tions.,
From reports received so far, Gov
ernor Eberhart stated today, the con-
ditions appear to be improved,
though not nearly normal. It was his
opinion, he stated, that even though
the strike were declared of immed-
lately, conditions could not be made
normal probably for more than a
month, owing to the present conges-
tion.
Governor Eberhart, stated that he
will make no effort to bring the
strikers and the railroads together
for a conference unless his reports
show that conditions are serious
enough to warrant such move.
AS the railroads stoutly maintain
that there is nothing to arbftrate, the
strike is apparently as far from a
settlement as ever.

WITNESSES FOR THE DEFENSE
GIVE LIE TO THE DRUNK.
ARD STORY.
Looked Like Reconciliation at One
Time During the Day - Mrs. Bro
kaw Accused Of Using Profane
Language and Does Not Derry the
Truth Of the Statement.

i
New York, Dec. >17.-Mrs. Mary
Blair Brokaw, the plaintiff, rested
her case today at TMineola, l.. l.,
where she is suing for separation
with alimony Of $50 900 a year from
her husband, W. Gould Brokaw. The
defense opened. Mrs. Brokaw has
been her own principal witness and
there is speculation il her husband ID
to play part equally prominent for
the defense.
eve cannot say yet" said John F.
Mcintyre, Mr.. BrokaW's counsel.
"He may take the stand in his own
behalf later" ILL.,.
Prospects for reconciliation be-
tween the husband and the wife
frightened today for a moment when
Mr.. Mcintyre rendered Mrs. Brokaw
an invitation to the New Years cake
walk at High Point, N. c., the Bro
kaw southern country place. Bro
kaw smiled and his wife hid her face
in her furs, but during recess he de-
fired his position as one of frank hos
tility.
MRS. Brokaw'' he said, ''has re-
jected my advances often enough. l
am going to fight this suit to a finish
and + am we'll satisfied with its ad-
vance"
Mrs. H. Bracwell Gilbert, Brokaw's
sister, testified in his behalf that he
and his wife were a Sweet, tender,
solicitous and loving couple"
Mrs. Gilbert testified that Brokaw
was not g drinking ran.
Bagley, one OF Brokaw's grooms
testified to the same effect.
Mr.. Gilbert had an amusing pas
sage at arms with his sister-in-law

Mrs. Brokaw has refused to admit
her use of a profane adjective as ap-
piled to a servants berth In which she
said her husband made her sleep

Gilbert would swear she used 1t.

titled Gilbert today.
As he repeated the debatable ad-
jective, Mr.. Gilbert looked at the
plaintiff. She nodded her head and
smiled. So did Justice Putnam as
she made good her word.
A crank with a wild story of brib-
ed witnesses caused momentary
flutter in the court during the after
noon session. Officers led him away
while counsel for both sides agreed
that his charges were baseless.

Do freckle cures do more harm than
good? is a query often ask myself; for.

applications must be sufficiently strong
to bleach, or, in some cases, remove the
skin.
The reason for this heroic treatment ia
that the yellow spots are beneath the
scarf skin. Therefore, If they are re-
moved. the epidermis will necessarily be
tender after the operation. and SO is
more susceptible than before to the eff
feet Of sun and wind.
/ would strongly advise those whose
compilations are spotted by freckles not
to try to remove them by strong applica-
lions. and If the spots do not yield to
moderate treatment almost Immediately
they should use a mild bleach or skin re-

seem, the fact that comparatively seldom
