ITALIAN RELIEF FUNDS
COMING IN SLOWLY
There Is Evidence, However, That
Substantial Sum Is Being
Raised in Utah.

Judging from the returns made to the
state committee it would seem that re-
sponses to the plea for subscriptions to
the Italian sufferers relief fund were
being made very slowly. However, Sec
rotary Joseph +. Game explains that
there are a large number of the sub
scriptiOn lists out on which no reports
have yet been made. He believes that
when these lists are returned a very sub
stantial sum from this state will be
shown. None of the banks, newspaper
offices or organizations in the state. ex-
eept one, has made a report, but some
correspondence has been received to the
effect that subscriptions are being taken

ACCUSED WOMAN
TAKES THE STAND
Mrs. Catherine BeiSel Tells of
the Killing of Her Sis
ter'S Husband.
RECITAL VERY DRAMATIC
UNABLE TO EN-
TANGLE THE WITNESS.

Media, Pa. Jan. 5.-The story Of the
tragedy as related by Mrs. Catherine Bel
sci was the dramatic feature Of the pro-
eeedings today in the trial Of Mrs BeiseI
and Mrs. Florence Erb, charged with the
murder of the lsttars husband Captain
J. Clayton Erb. on Oct. o. Mrs. BeiseI.
who confessed that she shot ETh. ibid her
story and for several nC,sfs 6ssSsG
through a most trying ordeal
SObbing Violently, the witness stood up
right in the witness boN and exclaimed:
= shot him: pulled the triEEer-T don't
know how many times-then all was
Killing of the Captain.
Describing the struggle with Captain
ETb on the fsteful night. Mrs Beisei said:
He came toward me, and I spraBg at
him. I don't know exactly how it hap
peueJ. He pushed me against the door.
He had me up against the wall beside the
bathroom door ] was braced against the
door and tried to hold him off gave
an awful push and broke loose. He
fired. / was afraid he would kill my
sister.
Everything grew dark after that All
] don't know what happened.
In almost every detail the witness cor
roborated the story Of the treatment
which she and her sister received at the
hands of Captain Er6 as had been Previ-
Ously given by Mrs Erb- District AttOT-
ney Meade was unable 70 seriously en-
tangle her. Important as throwing light
on the Erb family troubles and showing
something of the attitude Of Captain ETb
toward the accused widow were several
letters that We're put in evidence. Among
these was a letter from Mrs. Erb to Mrs.
Beisel in which she wrote:
This is the solution of all the troubles
in my life with my husband. Before 7
married him I told him every secret OF
my soul. and this is what he gOads me
about until I am driven almost TO de
stroying myself. If it were not for the
fear of hell, death would indeed, be a
relief. I fear he will kill me when he is
in a drunken state

Defense Closed.

The defense then closed. In rebuttal,
District Attorney Meade offered in evil
dence letters written by Captain Erb to
Mrs. ETb, in which he advised her to be
cheerful and happy and not worry.
The district attorney, an summing up
for the commonwealth. bitterly aTTaigned
both Mrs. Befsei and Mrs. Erb, picturing
the latter as a husband staying hyp0crite
who came into court with her widow
weeds to blacken her husbands memory.
He declared the murder to have been
wilful and premeditated, and demanded a
first degree verdict.
The case will probably go TO the jury
tomorrow afternoon

PRIVILEGE TO BUILD ACCORD

FOUR MORE IF NECESSARY

London, March 2O.-The British ma
val estimates show an increase of $14
10000 over the estimates of last yea
and possibly will fail to please tn,
big men of the navy.
They fully prove, however. that it /.
the governments determination t.
keep pace with the other naval pow
ers. and that no halt is likely to b.
called in the international competition
for superior naval competition.
In addition to four new Dread
thoughts, which are to be built a,
speedily as possible. the government
seeks the power to start building, Il
necessary, in 1910 four additional
large armored vessels.
Type Of the Ships.
The type of these latter ships il
not indicated in the estimate. though
it is generally expected that they are
to be two battleships of the Dread.
nought type and two armored cruis-
ers. There is little doubt. however,
that this part Of the naval program
will be dependent upon that progress
made in Germany's battleship con.
struction.
The statement of Reginald McKen-
ma, first lord of the admiralty, natur-
ally makes no reference to foreign
powers. Further light on the govern
ment's intention must be awaited un-
til the estimates are discussed in par.
Lament.
An interesting point in the esti-
mates Is that the admiralty has under
the use of dirigible air
ships for naval purposes and has de-
cided to carry out experiments and
an aerial vessel.
Under McKenna's program Great
Britain should have, by the end of
1911, fourteen vessels of the Dread
nought type against thirteen to then
be completed by Germany.
Governments Attack.
The attack on the government prob.
ably will center in a criticism of the
unusual method Of providing for q
possible necessity with four extra bat
tleships
The first lord of the admiralty adds
that In addition to the foregoing pro-
gram the government may in the
course of the financial year find it
necessary to make preparation for the
.apid construction of four more large
armored ships to be commenced April
[. 1910
The government therefore asks par
lament for powers to enable It to be
prepared to lay down April 1, 1910,
additional ships which can be com.
oleted In March. 1912.
