judges of the United States circuit
court.
Morse, under the law, must be given
two days before an order for his COM
mitment to Atlanta is issued. From
his cell in the Tombs the banker Is
sued a statement that he still had
some hope. Of regaining his freedom.
In his decision Judge Hough lays
down a new ruling on the use Of liquor
by jurymen. One bottle a day, says
the court, is not too much for q jury
of middle aged men.
1.-THE large and practically unlimit-
ed amount of liquor permitted to the
jury" the opinion of Judge Hough
reads, "can best be stated In the Ian
guage of the juror who has furnished
defendant with his longest affidavit.
1t may be noted that the jury was
composed of men Of middle age Tor
more) and that the direction of the
court was that they should be permit
ted to lead their usual lives as far as
compatible with their duties as Jurors.
"In pursuance OF these instructions
they were permitted (says the Juror
to consume during their term Of serv-
ice in aggregate about twenty bottles
and TASKS of liquor besides some indi-
vidual drinks from the bar of the As
tor House. No endeavor is made to
more particularly define individual
consumption, while 1t is definitely said
that some of the marshals were given
at times drinks from the bottles or
TASKS
"All parties agree that after the case
was given to the jury the usual rule Of
total abstinence was observed, 80 that
the unlimited quantity becomes a bot
tie day. Further comment is farcical
unless the defendant has a legal right
to a jury Of teetotalers. Legislation
must advance good deal before such
a right can be claimed, in New York
at all events"

BROKAW GIVES UP
Willing to Allow His Wife
$4,000 a Year.
HE ADMITS INCOME OF $4,000
Counsel Explains That the Million
aire Got Mixed Up In Cross Ex-
animation and Made Va
rious Nisstatements.

Mineola, N. T., Dec. 30-The taking
of testimony In the trial Of the suit Of
Mrs. Mary Blair Brokaw for a separa.
ton and $4,000 year alimony from
w. Gould Brokaw came abruptly to an
end in court here when John F. Nc.
Intyre, counsel for Brokaw, made pub
lie admission that his client had made
serious misstatements on the witness
stand relative to his property.
Arthur ]. Baldwin, counsel for Mrs
Brokaw, and Mcintyre and Eugene L
Bush for Brokaw had a conference
with Justice Putnam. Mcintyre said
that his client, worried by Ills long
cross examination, had made state
ments on the stand that should be cor
rected. Justice Putnam said that the
only way to correct the testimony
would be to put the defendant on the
stand again and re-examine him di
rectly.
Brokaw's lawyers were not inclined
to adopt that course. Brokaw had said
that he kept no books or ledgers, no
check books or cash books, and that he
was not able to tell just what he really
did possess. His lawyers at the con.
ference said that they would take
Brokaw to his safe deposit vault and
make out a list of the securities own.
ed by him other than those held by ].
Bache & Co.
Prior to the adjournment 1t was
agreed that on Saturday the defense
should submit list of Brokaw's secu.
rifles and a full statement Of. his
financial condition. II was understood
from counsel for the plaintiff that
there would be no further argument II
the statement should show that Bro
kaw's income was not less than $780,
600 year.
Mr.. Baldwin said that Brokaw had
received about 100000 from his ia.
theirs estate less than four years ago
and in spite of the fact that he is said
to have made inroads upon his fortune
considerable amount should be left
Defendants counsel admitted that his
income was probably $4,000.
"Mr. Brokaw was very much con.
fused by MIR. Baldwin's cross examina
tion and was very careless and
thoughtless in his replies to ques
tions," said Mr.. Mcintyre. I'VE are in
a position to say that some Of the
things he said about his financial re-
sources are not true. He was all al
/ sea as a result of the insistence Of the
opposing attorney and tangled uI
money matters frightfully. 1 think
your honor ought to give us an oppor
tunity to straighten out this tangle."
Justice Putnam, agreeing with the
defendants counsel, said he thought
that after a very long cross examina
ton Mr.. Brokaw had answered Ques
tons carelessly. He thought it wai
fair to give his counsel an opportunity
to present an accurate statement sub
ject, of course, to cross examination b.
the other side.
Mr.. Mcintyre said there would be nc
opposition to a court order allowing
Mrs. Brokaw $4,000 year alimony.

ployed. She is only sixteen years old.

ArsuS -or British Tariff.
Birmingh5 England, Dec. 30.-Js-
seph Chan1vv.'lain has issued an ad-
dress to the voters in which he criti-
cises severely the budget which was
rejected by the house of lords and on
which the Liberals have appealed to
the country. The aged statesman de-
clares 1t as his belief that the lords
did not exceed their constitutional
rights and did only their duty as q
second legislative chamber voting the
budget down.
One Of the objections to the propos-
ed measure, according to Mr.. Cham
berlain, ID that it throws the whole
burden Of taxation on our own people
without even attempting to secure any
contribution from foreigners who use
our market so largely while doing
their best to exclude us from theirs"
Mr.. Chamberlain, after an elaborate
plea for protective tariff, attacks the
governments promise Of home rule
for Ireland. He contends that it h
undoubtedly danger to this country
all the greater, as we are now threat
ened by foreign nations as we have
never been before" He describes
home rule as the gravest danger to
which the United Kingdom has ever
in its history been exposed.
The government in advocating home
rule, he declares, is instigated only by
a wish to capture Irish votes and con-
! cludes by declaring that $50 great 80
urgent, is this danger that even If II
stood alone every person who cares for
the British name ought once more to
render the conspiracy impossible."

played by prominent astronomers at

ical association here.
Confirmatory ground for their disbe-
lief was found when Hale's Mount
Wilson photographs were shown ON

ously explained that the canals did not
appear in the photographs because the
telescope was too powerful to indicate
them.
Nobody" he said, has ever seen q

Loading the Macon.

1t is generally believed that the load
pulls easier if put well forward on the
wagon. But this is not so on the or
binary wagon, where the hind wheels
are larger than the front ones. Should
the wheels be equal in size the load
should be equally distributed. If the
trucks are so low down that the
horses have an upward pull on the
load, then it would be all right to put
the load we'll forward. The load
should be proportional to the surface
contact Of the wheels. A large wheel
sinks less than a small one. There
fore the load should be heaviest on the
hind wheels. Distribute the weight so
that no one wheel OF no one side is
carrying the greater share. lest 1t
make the draft excessive for the ton

Farmer May Make Cigars.

At intervals after the cigar leaf to-
bacco crop has been harvested inquiries
are received concerning the right of the
farmer to manufacture cigars for home
use or to sell the tobacco to person 9th
er than an authorized dealer or manu-
facturer For the information of all
such persons an explanation of the
laws and regulations Of the treasury
department has been obtained from
the Office of the commissioner of in
ternal revenue.
Under existing laws" writes the
commissioner, "a farmer or grower OF
tobacco has a right to sell leaf tobacco
Of his own growth and raising to any
person in any quantity which may be
desired, provided the condition of such
leaf tobacco has not been changed in
any manner from that in which it was
cured on the farm. The manufacture
Of cigars In small way by any per-
son for his own use and consumption
is permissible when the cigars are
manufactured solely for the use Of the
person making them and are not re-
for consumption or sale. No taxes are
required, nor is the person so manu-
featuring required to qualify as a
manufacturer or make any reports.
"Unless the person intending to man.
ufacture cigars as above desired
should be a farmer or shall secure his
stock of tobacco directly from the
farmer all other sources of supply
would be closed to him by the require
ment of the law, which provides that
dealers in leaf tobacco shall sell only
to other dealers and to manufacturers
of tobacco or cigars or to such persons
as are known to be purchasers Of leaf
tobacco for export.
