Tampa, Fla, January 23.-The jury trying Mrs. Pauline Palmer for the murder of her husband, Luke Palmer, in July last, at their home, today rem dered a verdict of not guilty, after a trial lasting a week.

The state claimed conspiracy to kill Palmer for life insurance.

Chamberlain May Re-Enter Politics

London, January 23.-Joseph Chamber lain still clings to the belief that he will re-enter politics and resume the lea dership of the movement for tariff reform, although his friends long ago gave up the hope of again seeing him in the arena. MT. Chamberlain has announced to his constituents that he will again of fer himself as a candidate from West Birmingham, at the next general election, but he says he may have to ask to be excused from speaking during the con- test MT. Chamberlain family and friends encourage him in the belief that he is improving, but as a. matter of fact, his condition remained practically with out change for a year. He is 72 years of age.

Because the Hungarian minister of the interior has arbitrarily dissolved two workmen's federations that country is now in the throes of general strike, or dered by the socialists.
 As soon as the order was issued 90,000 workers at Budapest stopped work and every factory in the city was shut down. In many of the principal towns not a newspaper is printed, and altogether some 100000 men are idle.

A new rope, brought out a year or
two ago, has two layers of strands
wound over core In opposite di-
rections, the purpose being to pre-
vent the familiar twisting-or, rather,
untwisiting-- on lifting loads. A re-
cent test showed that, while such
ropes do not have in themselves any
tendency to rotate, they may have
other faults. A rope tested had a
breaking strength of 10 tons 2 cwt.,
but on being revolved five turns by
hand, the outer layer was UNFINISHED
and relaxed. throwing the entire load
on the inner strands, which had about
one-third of the strength of the entire
rope. A load striking an obstacle
Is liable to be given a number of
rotations, while even two turns we're
sufficient to untwist and relax the
outer strands when a kink confined
the effect to small section of the
rope. Another quality of these ropes
for which allowance must be made
was found to be increased wear wher
the strands cross, and in a rope that
had been used in hosting for con
siderable time it was found that the
outer strand had cut into and materi-
ally weakened the layer crossed.

Excitement Following the Exe-
cution of Ferrer Has Not
Yet Subsided in Various
European Centers.
SOCIALISTS IGNORE
THE ROYAL PRESENCE
Conservative Radicals in Italy
Adopt Unique Policy While

Raconigi, Italy, Oct 23.-The excite
ment over the execution of Francisco
Ferrer at Barcelona. which swept all
Europe, has not yet subsidized, and the
anarchists are expected to utilize the
opportunity for demonstration
against the Car. At Turin and other
points, however, the socialists adopted
the unique plan of dropping all at.
tempts at manifestations and directing
that the radicals snub the Car by COM
pletely ignoring his presence.
The first stop of the czar's train aft
er it had passed the French-Italian
line was at Turin. There he was Of
ficially welcomed by three Italian gen
erals. The station was filled with
troops, who had cleared the surround
ing streets for many blocks. At the
disposal of the Italian authorities were
a strong force of Russian secret SER
vice men and soldiers.
Was Heavily Guarded.
The route from Turin to Raconigi
was even more heavily guarded than
the first stage Of the journey in Italy.
At Raconigi, however, the chief effort
to assemble monster guard had been
made. The town was a vast garrison.
In every house detectives were sta
toned: every foot of every street was
constantly watched. Strangers were
forbidden to approach the town. and
the liberty of the 1900 inhabitants had
been greatly restricted. Scores of au-
tomobiles, bearing Russian and Italian
police and army men raced through the
town and not single nook in the en-
tire village was overlooked.
Early today there arrived the last de.
tachment of troops, which include four
regiments of infantry, two of Alpine
guards. two of cavalry, one of Bersag-
lieri and one of Carabinieri.
Among those who are in Caconigi are
Prime Minister Giolitti, foreign minis
ter Tittoni and Mayor Nathan of Rome
The latter is a socialist. and accepted
the invitation to come only after he
had got the consent of his fellow so
cialists in the municipal council o.
Rome.
Have Joined Hands.
The presence of the ministers was
made necessary by the Radical condi-
tion of the Russo-Italo treaty affect
ing the policies of the two nations in
the Balkans. where they have joined
hands to guard against usurpation Oh
the part of the Austrians. The Ser
vian crisis, which resulted in the over
throw of the ministry. adds great in
terest to this proposed agreement
The czar was greatly fatigued by his
three-day railroad journey from Odes-
sa, and as soon as was possible he rest
ed in the apartments set aside for him.
1t is expected that the czar will de-
part Monday. after he has enjoyed the
hunt which is one of the main features
of the program for this entertainment.

the hope that the accredited handy
