Asthma Plant of Queensland.

The euphorbias are very numerous in
Sne colony of Queensland, and among
them is the Euphorbia pilulifera, the
Queensland asthma plant" which has
remarkable reputation for curing this
Troublesome complaint. Several pharma-
ceutical preparations of the plant are ex-
tensively sold in Australia. Analysis
shows that green plant contained 70
per cent. by weight of water and 3 per
cent. of ash. leaving 10 points of vege-
table matter. A dried plant contained
an alkaloidal substance equal to about
one part in a thousand. 1t contained
also a glucosidal substance to the amount
of not more than four parts in the thou
sand. Possibly one or both of these was
the active principle of the plant.-Lon-

ARMY CAPTAIN CONVICTED OF
KILLING WIN. E. ANNIS OF
NEW YORK.
JUSTICE SPEAKS TO THE JURY
Four Hours of Declaration Before the
Verdict Was Decided
On.
Jury MoDERATEs THE CHARGE

FLUSHING, N. Y, May 11.-Capt.
Peter c. Hams was this afternoon found
guilty of manslaughter in the first de-
gree after the jury had been out four
hours.
In his charge to the jury, Justice Gar
retson said:
If you believe this defendant has es-
tablished legal irresponsibility no mat
ter what your findings on the general
issues may be, he is not guilty of the
crime said Justice Garretson, "but the
law has laid down simple tests and
standards in regard to insanity and it is
for you to apply these tests in consider
the law, the defendant must have been
in such an unbalanced state Of mind as
not to have known the nature and quail
ity of his act, and that it was wrong"
Justice Garretson said the presump-
ton of sanity existed and it was for the
jury to say whether that presumption
had been removed by the evidence. Re
ferrfng to the testimony of the allenIsts,
Justice Garretson said the law did not
permit even learned men in medical sci
ence to come into court and furnish
oracular or dogmatic opinions. They
must show how they reached these opin-
IONS" said Justice Garretson, land it
is for you to decide the efficiency and
sOundnesS of these opinions"
Speaking of the domestic relations of
the defendant, Justice Garretson said the
truth of the allegations against Mrs.
Hams and Annis did not have to be
shown. 1t was sufficient, in considering
the defendants mental condition, if he
had been told of such relations and he
believed them to have existed. I'm fair
ness and justice, Mrs. Claudia Hams
should have her say in court to answer
such grave charges" said the justice.
Neither she nor the dead man Annis
are on trial in this case"
The court charged that the neglect
or the refusal of the defendant to tes-
tify in his own behalf did not create any
presumption against him. In conclusion
of his remarks, Justice Garretson told
of the following verdicts: Guilty of
murder in the first degree guilty of
murder in the second degree, guilty of
manslaughter in the first degree, not
guilty or not guilty on the ground of in
sanity.

RAIL OFFICIALS
IN BURNING Car
VICE PRESIDENTS OF PENNSYL
WANNA LINES HAVE THRILLING
ESCAPE FROM SLEEPER.
FLEE IN EXTREME NEGLiGEE,
Flames, Famed by Rapid Pace of Spe-
cial Train, Blocks Exit and Win
dow Refuses to Bulge.
NO ONE is SERIOUSLY INJURED

CHICAGO, ILL.,, May High officials
Of the Pennsylvania lines experienced a
thrilling escape today from fire which
destroyed the special car ON which they
were travelling from Pittsburg to Chi7
cago. The officials were First Vice
President Joseph Wood, Second Vice
gineer Thomas Rodd. Mr.. Turner es-
capped through a window.
The Pennsylvania special to which
special car No. 100 was attached, was
bowling along at a merry clip between
Hanna and Davis station, Ind, when the
fire was discovered by Mr.. Wood. He
signaled the train to stop, shouting an
alarm to Messrs. Turner and Rodd. The
latter and Mr.. Wood were near the
doors and escaped in extreme negligee-
as the train came to stop.
Turner Caught in Flames
Meanwhile, Mr.. Turner, occupying q
compartment near the center of the car,
aroused by the heat and shouts of his
only to find his exit blocked by the
flames which had been rapidly famed to
fury by the rapid pace of the train. He
promptly turned to the window and
smashed the glass with his feet, no 9TH
er instrument being at hand, and the
sash, after the proverbial fashion of
such. refusing to bulge.
The train, however, was obeying Mr..
Woods signal with prodigious jerks
which alarmed the entire passenger list,
and presently came to standstill. Here
the train crew from the outside sue
ceeded in raising the sash and Mr.. Tur
ner was assisted to safety with no in
jury more serious than a slightly cut
hand.
Car Left to Its Fate.
The crew likewise made salvage of the
raiment in the burning car which was
then shunted ON to a siding and left to
it's fate. The train pulled into Chicago
minus one car, but otherwise none the
worse for the experience.
The cause of the fire is said to have
been due to crossed electric wires, al
though there is a possibility that it was
due to a spark from the locopetive.

DUKE TRIES SUICIDE ?
Rome Hears Report That Abruzzi At
tempted to Kill Himself with
a Revolver.

ROME, May 11.-Sensational reports
have been received here saying that the
Duke OF the Abruzzi recently attempted
to kill himself with a revolver on the
way out to India, but that the suicidal
intention was frustrated by the vigilance
of a member of his suite. The duke is
subject to fits of intense depression late
" and letters from his guides represent
that he has become utterly reckless and
the whole expedition in the Himalayas
may perish if the leader persists in car,
irving out his plans. These stories have
aroused much feeling here against the
Duke and Duchess of Aosta who is
known now were the real obstacles to the
success of the dukes love affair with
Senator Elkins' daughter, katherine.

PROHIBITION TIED UP.
Missouri House and Senate Unable to
Agree Upon State Wide Resolu-
ton Before Legislature.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, May IL
Without debate and by viva voce vote,
the Missouri house today refused to
concur in the Senate amendments to the
state wide prohibition resolution and
sent it back to the upper house, asking
that body to recede. AS the Senate
probably will decline to give up its
changes IN the measure a conference
committee will be appointed. The Sen
ate amendments to the resolution which
provides for popular vote on a consti-
tutional amendment establishing prohi-
bition, were two. The first erased the
house provision that prohibition, if
adopted would not become effective I'M
til 1918. The second was a tax rider,
increasing the lawful rate for all tax
ing bodies 100 per cent. over the present
rate.
