N0RTHCLIFFE TELLS WHY HE FEARS WAR
German Preparations of To-day Like Those Which Preceded the
Conflict With France--Britain Not Aroused Yet--Warn-
inSS of Leaders Fail Fully to Awaken the People.

Chicago. - In an interview pub
1ished here Lord Northcliffe, manag-
ing owner of a London newspaper, de-
clares there is great danger of war
between Germany and Great Britain
THE Americans are so busy" said
Lord Northc1iffe, with the affairs of
their own gigantic continent.that they
have not. the time to devote to the
study of European politics, which are
more Kaleidoscope in their changes
than are those of the United States.
There is an impression in this
country that some hostility exists be-
tween the people of Great Britain and
of united Germany. I know the
Germans intimately. From childhood
1 have Travelled extensively through
out most of the German States. I
have many German family connec-
lions, and I venture to say that out
side the usual body of Anglophobes
one meets in every country there is
little hostility to the British on the
part of the Germans.
"And, on the other hand, there is
in England no dislike of Germany.
Au contraire, III statesmen are
adapting German legislation to our
needs, and if imitation be the sim
cerest form of flattery the Germans
must be well pleased with our pre-
posed reproduction of their working
mems insurance, their labor bureau,
and a great many other legislative
improvements that, it appears to me,
would be just as vital to the United
States as they seem to be to Great
Britain.
Why, then, if so happy a state of
affairs exists between the two ma
lions. should there be any section of
people in England to suggest the pos
sibility of war? Turn back to 1869.

YnventiOn OF the Automobile.

No one man can be said to have
invented the automobile. The ma
chine, as it is to-day, is the product
of many minds in many countries.
Horseless carriages date bacL almost
to the time when steam became a mo-
tive power, and as long ago as 1902
Richard Trevisnick, an Englishman,
constructed a machine which made a
trip of ninety miles yer country
roads.
In 1888 Observation-Disclosures
and Malandin, of Paris, invented a
tricycle. propelled by compressed gas
and a year later used petroleum for
generating power.
Panhard and Levassar were the
first to invent a really practical pc
troleum motor. This was in 1890,
since which time the development of
the various types of road motors has
been rapid.
Electricity as a motive power for
road machines was first used in the
early eighties, but it was not until
about 1898 that it began to be looked
upon as a rival of petroleum. Of late
years gasoline and steam motors have
been extensively used. = Boston

"As to that which is ~transpiring in

When Baudin finished his testi-

to shoot her.

Paris.-"A man whose wife is dying

ing If she implores him to do So"
So a jury, perhaps rather emo
tiona1, decided in the Court of Assizes
here, and acquitted Edmond Baudin,
who, at her prayer, shot and killed
his wife on January 81 last.
Nine. Baudin had been afflicted
with asthma for years. It gripped
her throat, 1t was a weight on her
lungs, it stopped her breath. She
begged her husband to aid her by
killing her quickly to rid her of the
affection that was slowly throttling
her.
Baudin, a mechanic, thirty-nine
years old, a rough and plain spoken
man, sought to justify his act with
words as Straightforward as they
were made dramatic.
Tears streamed from his eyes while
he testified. The jurors also wept,
and the women in the courtroom were
semi-hysterical.
The presiding Judge, who disap-
proved of the jury's verdict, re-
marked:
"For the moment the bandage on
the eyes Of justice was a handker-
chief"
"My wife, whom I loved dearly,
had suffered fearfully from asthma, :"

on between sobs. "The medicine she
was taking was nearly exhausted.

BIG DROP IN COTTON 785I
Condition on September an
58.5 Per Cent. of Normal.
Financial and Weather Conditions
Combined to Produce the Most
Unfavorable Report For Years.

Washington, D. C.-Financial and
weather conditions combined pro.
duced the most unfavorable report
from the Department of Agriculture
IN the condition of the cotton crop
that has been made at this season of
the year for many years. The official
report indicates that on September rs
The condition of the cotton crop was
58.5 per cent. OF normal, as compared
with 63.7 per cent. on August rs,
1903; 69.7 on September rs, 1908;
ST. on September rs, 1907, and 81
per cent. on the average for ten years
o. September 25, 1909.
After the announcement by the De-
partment of Agriculture of the figures
recording the average for this month,
DR.. 8. A. Knapp, chief of the cooper
alive demonstration work in the
South, after the conference with Sec
rotary Wilson, said the serious falling
of In the figures, especially for Louis
lana and Mississippi, was due to two
conditions. One was the excessive
rainfall in the early part of the cotton
season, followed by a serious drought,
and the second was the failure of cot
ton planters to obtain advances on
their crops from bankers. The latter
reason forced the planters to dismiss
q large part of their labor at a time
when the boil weevil was a most Sc
rious pest.
DR.. Knapp said another reason
which induced a falling off in the
general average of Louisiana was that
there was practically thirty per cent.
less of acreage in cotton than in pre-
vious years.
I'm my judgment" said DR.. Knapp,
"the really serious trouble, which ap-
plies to all the cotton States, was
brought about by the excessive rain
fall in the early part of the season
and the excessive drought in the lat-
ter part. What Is known as the New
Orleans storm, which passed up
through parts of Louisiana and west
ern Mississippi, blew out immense
quantities of cotton and served seri-
ously to detract from the excellence
Of the CROP"
The report of the Census Bureau
showed that to September 25 there
had been ginned from the cotton
growth of 1903 ~2,562,S8S bales,
counting round as half bales, COM
pared with 2,590,639 for 1908.
The round bales included this year
were 48,176, compared with 57,107
for 1908. The Sea Island cotton re-
ported for 1909 was 1896, COM
pared with 11,457 for 1908.

S7ABER MURDERER GUILTY
SchIiemann Convicted in First
Degree---Jury Out an Hour.
Self-Deferse Cannot Be Set Up as Ex-
cusc For a Murderer Who is
Committing a Felony.

Brooklyn, N. Y.-Fred Schliemann.
one of the men indicted for the MUIR
der of Mrs. Sophie Staber, who was
slain in her home in Flatbush on July
s last, was convicted Of murder in
the first degree, and before the jury
brought in the verdict his a~ccomplice,
Carlo Giro, had been put on trial for
the same crime. Justice Crane took
up the case of Schliemann. A jury
was chosen in ninety minutes, and the
case was given into their hands at
noon. The jury was out ffty-1ve
minutes and they pronounced Schlie-
mann guilty of the capital crime.
Little emotion was shown by the
prisoner when the jury brought in
the verdict. He cleared his throat
nervously and sank sullenly into his
chair without a word. His counsel,
Edward J.. Reilly, had called no wit
nesses in defense of his client nor did
he submit any evidence except to at
tempt to show the burglar shot in
self-defense. Justice Crane would not
permit the opinions of the jurymen
to be Influenced by the assertion that
a burglar has a right to defend him
self when committing a felony, and
made it clear that If either of the men
had fired the shot they were equally
guilty of a crime.
The crime for which the men were
indicted was committed in the home
of George Stabler, No. 455 East Eigh-
teenth street, Flatbush. The prison.
ers entered the house and were dis
covered at work by Staber and his
son, Edward. The young nan Crap
pied with Giro and had him down,
while the father yelled for help from
the window. In the fight a shot was
fired by one of the men, and it struck
Mrs. Staber, who was running to the
assistance of her son.
The mother was killed by the shot,
and Staber fired at Schliemann. He
injured the burglar, who was in the
hospital for several weeks, but recov-
cred in time for his trial. The pris-
oner showed. the effect of his injury
while he sat in court. He was ner-
vous and his face was pale. His law
yer said it was possible the shot
which killed Mrs. Staber had been
fred by her son, but District Attorney
Clarke riddled that defense. He
proved both thugs had armed them
selves with revolvers, and were ready
to kill every member of the family in
their frenzy to escape. He also put in
evidence the confessions made by
both burglars after their arrest.
Justice Crane in his charge told the
jurors that excusable or justifiable
homicide would have to be excluded
from their consideration of the case,
as nothing had been put in evidence
to show the crime was either excus
BILE Or ~justiiable.
When a person committing a bur-
glary, which is a felony, kills a per-
son, then it is murder in the first de-
gree" he said, 'and if Schliemann
and Giro were confederated in the
commission of the burglary and while
so acting in common design Giro shot
and killed Mrs. Staber, Schliemann is
equally guilty"

CHILD ATE CUTIcURA.
Spread Whole Box of 1t on Crackers
Not the Least Injury Resulted
Thus Proven Pure and Sweet.

A New York friend of Cuticura writes:
"My-three year old son and heir, after
being put to bed on a trip across the At
lantic, investigated the stateroom and To-
Gated a box of graham crackers and a box
of Cuticura Ointment. When a search was
made for the box, it was found empty and
the kid admitted that he had eaten the
contents of the entire box spread on the
crackers. It cured him of a bad cold and
| don't know what else"
No more conclusive evidence could be
offered that every ingredient of Cuticura
Ointment is ABSOLUTELY pure, sweet and
harmless. If it may be safely eaten by a
young child, none but the most beneficial
results can be expected to attend it's appli-
cation to even the tenderest skin or
youngest infant.
