of man who was missionary in Japan
in the days when the doors of the island
kingdom were just opening to western
civilizations:
One day a Hlgo man who got a
Chinese New Testament and some books
from me three years ago came to see
me and told me that high officer of
his prince. wished to see me. When the
officer came he stated that he wished me
to assist him in getting a steamer for
his master and his company. They were
strangers in the town, and when it was
known that they came to purchase a
steamer they were SO beset by corrupt
set of brokers and runners that they be-
came bewildered, not knowing whom to
trust. In this extremity they applied to
me. I told them that such business lay
quite outside my province. that my bust
ness was to teach the doctrine. The
next day still higher official called with
this same request. / could but give him
the same answer. The gratifying part is
the manifestation of confidence. When

TRIAL OF HATTIE LEBLANC,
 SEVEN WITNESSES MONDAY
No Testimony That the Prisoner Was
 Seen About the Laundry.

Cambridge, Mass, Dec. 5.--The pros ecutions direct case against Hattie Leblanc on trial for the murder Of Clarence F. Glover, will probably be before the jury at the close of tomor- rows session. When the court ad- journed tonight, the jury had heard the evidence of 21 witnesses, seven of whom testified today. No witness has yet testified to seeing Hattie Leblanc enter or leave the laundry where the shooting is said to have taken place, and three efforts by the district attor- closely connected the girl with the crime have been rule dOut by the court On the other hand, the de- fence, during the seven days of the trial has turned the attention of the jury from the little Cape Breton girl to Mrs. Lillian M. Glover. the widow, and the district attorney has several times been obliged to protect her against the attacks of Melvin M. Johnson, the leading counsel for the defense. Half a dozen witnesses tes- ttfied today to seeing Mrs. Glover in her own home about the time the shooting is said to have occurred in the laundry.
 Mrs. Glover's personal counsel, Sam uel D. ElnOre, was on the stand long CT than anyone else today, and was forced to admit that he was paid S4,IoS DN AIS- GloF6r 4lHuleulatS1S 1oI- lowing the murder, to defend her against situation which had arisen. He declared also that he readily de- tected marks on Hattie's hand when she was dragged from her hiding place. Whether these marks were powder stains he could not say, but they looked like it. He also said that she had a scar on her finger. and the defense laid much stress on the fact that in the searches of the Glover house for the girl a lamp was used, and might have been held close to this hand.
 Just before the close of the days session, the district attorney intimat- ed that he would produce tomorrow the interpreter who translated Hat ties statements to the police after her 2 rreSt

NEW COURT OF COMMERCE. TWO MEMBERS DECIDED UPON. Judge Prouty of Vermont and Franklin
 K. Lane of California.

Washington, Dec. 5.-Information from an excellent. if not absolutely au- thoritative, source indicated Chat Pres ident Taft has determined upon two members of the new court of com nnerce. They are Judge Charles A. Prouty of Vermont and Franklin K. Lane of California. both of whom are now members of the interstate com merce commission.
 It is understood to be the desire of the president to secure men for the new court who not only are in touch with the freight rate situation through out the country but who are familiar with the proceedings of the interstate commerce commission. It is well un- derstood that Chairman Knapp of the commission N2s considered for the pO- sition of presiding iuslice of the new ,c0urt, but it is stated that the pTesi- dent felt Judge Knapp was too valua- ble in the position he now occupies to warrant him in transferring him to a purely judicial position.
 Judge Prouty has served as a mem- Der of the interstate commerce com mission Sor nearly twenty years and is widely known and respected bt both shippers and carriers throughout the country. MT Lane is now serving his second term as commissioner, having been appointed as d democrat by President Roosevelt. His services on the commission have been particularly notable especially in the elimination of rebating

HEINZE CASE IN
 U. s. SUPREME COURT.
Various Counts of Indictments Are
 Held Sufficient.

Washington, Dec. 5.-Holding that the circuit court Of the United S'tates for the southern district of New York had erred, the supreme court of the United States today reversed the lower counts of indictments. charging F. Au- gustus HeinZe with the misappIication of funds of the Mercantile National bank of New York city, of which he was president. Further proceedings on these counts must now be taken in the lower court.
 One of the points on which the lower court held the indictments insufficient was that they did not show a conver- sion by the recipient of the proceeds of certain notes discounted After re- viewing the previous cases touching on this point, Justice McKenDa in an- nouncing the decision of the court, said:
 'It follows that the circuit court erred in considering as necessary not only that there should be alleged 8 conversion by the officer of the bank, but also of the recipient of the pro- ceeds of the discount. The conversion may be to the use of either, and the indictment fulills the requirement"
 The constitutionality of the act of March 2 1907, allowing the government an appeal in adverse decisions on pre- li1ninary pleas in criminal cases wal upheld by the court. which reiterated the statement that the right of appeal was not essential to due process of law"

 Not content with that. he protested the winning Sorg entry, and the whole matter went gravely before the judge, who finally ruled that the protest of the Ayrshire Farm entry-the name under which Davie booked in the off cial catalogue-was unfounded and confirmed Paul Sorg in first place. The coach and four are the property of Coulter, who fnnocentiy agreed to drive for Davie for a snug considera- ton and all expenses. Neither has been paid and the New York police said today that in their belief Davie has gone to Mexico. When the Bos- ton police first began their search for Davie they notified the New York po- lice that he might turn up at the horses how.
 It sounded improbably audicious to headquarters, but they sent man to Madison Square Garden. who searched the catalogue made inquiries and came away with no more than he knew before. And all the time Davie was really in the catalogue under "The Ayrshire Farms"

Davie rendered a check on a Tennessee bank, but Watson refused to make delivery until he heard from the check. It came back marked no funds and there was no sale.
 Later Davie appeared again In a six cylinder s3.500 touring car, which on affidavit that he owned it outright, Watson accepted In exchange for Ayr shire Queen, a valuable mare who was also entered in the horse show but took no prizes. On the appearance of the Boston dealers who sold the car to Davie, Watson was chagrined to learn that it had been paid for in part only and still belonged to the dealers. who held mortgage to secure the unpaid balance. The machine has been re- stored to the owners and Watson has got his mare back.

BODY OF WILLIAM H. LEWIS

Caller, will be determined at Foster tomorrow, when the body of tho man who died there last month will be ex- humed and examined by acquafntanceS of the New York Lewis. The body was to have been disinterred today, but il is understood that the New York po-l lice, including representatives of ths New York police. who since the di9- covery of Callers body November 1S,f have sought William Lewis for the murder of Caller. did not secure the necessary permit in time to commence digging today. It was expected that Miss Ellen Enright of New York, f1 ancee of the New York Lewis, who was to have been married to him on the day he disappeared eight years ago, would try to identify the body. She could not be located at Foster to- night, but is expected to arrive there tomorrow.
 Lewis, it was learned tonight, came here with a woman whom he intro duced as his wife. They quarrelled often and on these occasions Lewis was heard to declare: 'I'n tell ev- erything if you keep this up much longer. I'm tired of being shadowed about"
 His conversation showed an ac- quaintance with many places in Flu rope, but he always avoided ques- tions as to his past life.
 On November 8 last he armed him. self with a revolver. the first time he had carried one while in Foster, so far as known. He made a remark about somebody shadowing him and early the next morning he left his home with a load of wood for Provi- dence. He was later found on the road with a fractured skull, apparent Iy having been thrown out of his wag- on. The day before his funeral. his woman companion, being unable to pay the burial expenses, committed suicide by drinking poi son. Both bod ies were inferred together.
