Chicago, Dec. 20.-The witchcraft of
electricity will reach its height. in Chi
cago in the reproducing of writing
across a span of two and half
miles when 'telautograph" connections
are completed between the downtown
office and general office of a local cas-
ualty company, which has led an exc
dus of insurance and other offices
away from the congested district of
high rents to the old residential dis
trict two miles south of the elevated
loop. BY means of this modern device
all the peculiarities of "a signature to
an application for insurance or other
document will reappear as by magic
silently, mysteriously, at the other
end of the electric line, the longest
line for the purpose in the world. This
is the device which the United States
navy has installed an battleships to
transmit orders and messages in the
din of firing when the telephone would
be useless and speed of communica-
ton is all important. New York has
put the telautograph to work in clubs
and hotels in transmitting orders from
cafe to. kitchen silently and instantan-
cously. but Chicago will boast the bold
est obliteration of distance where ac-
ciiracy and autographs are essential

San Francisco, Dec. 27.-According
to advices received here, Bob Fitzsim-
mons will fight Bill Lang for the
championship of Australia at Sydney,
New South Wales, tonight. Lang won
this title by defeating "Bill'' Squires
at Melbourne on October 25. Squires
was knocked out in the twentieth
round.
In letter to a friend, just received,
Fitz writes that he is in perfect health
and is growing stronger every day.
He insists that he has the old clever
ness and can hit as hard as ever, at
the same time expressing supreme con-
fdence in his ability to stow Lang
away. "After I've whipped this fell
low" writes Fitz, 81 shall meet all
corners in Australia, and if Tommy
Burns wants fight he can have one.
[ am not back number by any
means and I'll prove it when | meet
Lang" 1t is understood that Fitzsim-
mons will receive $4,000 in cash and
his expenses for the round trip from
London to Sydney for taking chances
with Lang. Hugh Mcintosh, who is
promoting the fight, has also guaran-
teed long theatrical engagement i'll

PRESIDENT HAS BEGUN
WORK ON HIS MESSAGE
Discusses Final Details Of II
With Cabinet.
~.

Washington, Dec. 29.-President
Taft discussed with members of his
cabinet the final details of the special
message he will send to congress next
week dealing with proposed amend
ments to the Interstate commerce and
Sherman antitrust laws. Mr.. Taft
has begun work on the important doc
ument.
At one time it was thought that the
president might in this, the first Of
his series of special messages to con-
gress. deal only with the interstate
commerce act, leaving his proposed
discussion of the antitrust law to
some future date. He has decided.
however, that as the two subjects are
so closely related he will adhere to
his original intention of making in one
communication to the senate and
house his recommendations for
changes in the two acts.
! this message he will also submit
his recommendations for the issue of
federal licenses to corporations. The
proposed license will be voluntary
one, to be taken advantage of by such
corporations as desire to place them
selves under federal jurisdiction, or
left alone, as the directors of the cor
poration see fit.

Chicago, Dec 29.-Backing has been
offered for the conquest Of poverty,
now costing in futile charity in the
United States a billion dollars year,
in accordance with Emerson Hough's
plan of transplanting from the cities
the efficient unemployed, educating
them in the essentials of agriculture,

necessary to reach the self-sustaining
point. Not only has philanthropic
Canadian capitalist and land owner,
William Pearson of Winnipeg, signi-
fled his decision to personally aid the
process of transplanting, winch Hough's

but Mr.. Pearson also is personally en-

Err IN SCOPE THAN INTENDED.
President To Take a Hand; Insists
That the Responsibility of Passing
Upon Conduct Of Secretary Of In
terror Be Not Put Entirely Up to
Congress; That He Be Permitted
to Have Share.

Washington, Dec. 29.-There have
been the liveliest kind of develop.
ments in connection with the impend.
ing congressional inquiry into the con.
duct of Secretary of Interior Ballinger.
While it has been authoritatively stat.
ed that the investigation would be
thorough, it became certain as result
of the acute stage reached in the Bal
linger-Pinchot controversy, that it will
be much more comprehensive and
sweeping than has ever been imagined
At an extended conference between
President Taft and Representative
John Dalzell of Pennsylvania, member
of the committee on rules and one OF
the most influential Republican mem
bers of the house, it was decided that
a joint committee of the senate and
house, to consist of the six members
of each body, which will inquire into
the propriety of Secretary Ballingers
general land office as we'll as head OF
the interior department, will be Great
ed under joint resolution.
The significance of the decision is
this:
While under a simple resolution of
the senate or house the Investigation
of Mr. Ballinger would be conducted
only by the body in which such a
resolution originated, and while under
a concurrent resolution the inquiry
would be broadened to cover both
branches, thus making the inquiry a

fire OF STATES ATTORNEYS
DEFENDANT IN MURDER CASE REMAINS IN
WITNESS BOX LONG TIME
Prosecution Probing Into the Events Which Occurred On Night
Of May A and the Morning Following What
TTanspired Later

afternoon, Mrs. Ledbeter said that the
sn,r.li S Office knew of the disappear
ance of her husband as it was in the
papers, and Sheriff Donahue and Dep
uty Sheriff Kluugherz were out several
times. The sheriff from Redwood
Falls was also there.
Frank Smith and McTighe had in
the spring become involved in a law
suit. In the summer of 1908, Me
Iighe had Smith arrested for stealing
harness The witness was asked
whether Smith, while the sui5 was
pending, did uot tell Mr.. Ledbeter ara
herself that Bill Garner had said that
McTiehe had offered 800 TO him to
ret Mr.. Ledbeter out of the way.
The state objected to this before it
was fully asked, and it was submitted
III writing to the court. The jury was
excused while the matter could be ar
gued. The defense said that this tes-
timony was needed to explain away
the; acts and statements of the de-
fendant, who might have labored under
, the, belief that someone else had made
way with her husband. 1t would eX-
plain about footprints, etc. The state
had tried the case on suspicion. The
state held that the evidence was moi
material in this case, and that it did
not tend to disconnect the defendant
from the crime. The court asked the
state whether evidence tending to prove
a motive for Smith to commit the
crime was not admissible. The de-
Tense held that it would have the
right to show why Mrs. Ledbeter had
told parties of having suspicious of
Garner.
The jury was returned into court,
and the court overruled the objection.
Smith did so inform the witness and
her husband, the witness said. Mr..
Ledbeter had expected to be witness
in the suit. Smith had told this
last January. After the disappearance
of Ledbeter, Smith slept in the barn.
A got was put there for him. Louis
Anderson of Medo arrived the week fol-
lowing the disappearance and remained
three or four days and searched. The
witness had gone with him searching
some. One night while Mr.. Anderson
was there a shot was fired, and An
derson went out to investigate, and
came back and reported that Smith
had done the shooting at someone
shopping around the chicken coop. Two
weeks after the disappearance tracks
were found from the barn across the
field, and the witness -.-,u been shown
where it was claimed that people had
slept in the hay NOW and in the feed
way on blankets. Smith had drawn
her attention to these things. The
tracks appeared as though made by
Mr. Ledbeter. One of the girls also
recognized them as his. Mr.. Ledbeter's
right ankle was baa and his foot
