OFFICIAL REVEALS PLAN
OF INDIAN CONSPIRACY
Advocate General Resumes Argu-
ment Against Govt. Foes

BOMBAY, Oct. 21.-The advocate
general, continuing his address for the
prosecution in the Nasik conspiracy
trial, withdrew the charge Of waging
war, but pressed the charge of at
tempting to wage war. The case for
the prosecution, he said, was that all
thirty eight of the accused were mem>
bers of large body of cOnspirators.
Their ages ranged between II and As,
and ten were under 20. A large pro-
portion were priests, students and
schoolmasters, and some were uniVer-
sity graduates. The object of the con-
spiracy was to obtain home rule by all
or any means. Money was collected by
theft and otherwise; arms were OBJ
tanned, explosives were manufactured
In Nasik and Bombay, the murder of
officials was contemplated and the as
sassination of Mr.. Jackson, the reye-
nue. collector, was perpetrated. Mask
was the headquarters, with branches
of Igatpuri, Aurungabad and elsewhere.
In 1908 a society was established by
Savarkar and his brothers to promote
Swadeshi and religion. In 1905-06 the
name and the object of the society
were changed and it devoted itself to
the attainment of home rule. In 1906
Vinayak Savarkar made speeches in
citing his hearers to rise against Brit
ish rule. In May of the same year
Savarkar went to England. There he
wrote a preface to a life of Mazzini
with the object OF forming a secret
society for the purpose of overthrow
ing the Indian government and estab
fishing home rule by force.
Two thousand copies of the book
were scattered in India with view
to inculcating the principles expounded.
Savarkar advocated the collection OF
arms and secrecy and prescribed a
form of oath and revolutionary pro
cedure. Karve, one of the defendants,
pushed these doctrines at Thana and
other places and started branches of
the society at Igatpuri and in the
Mask district.
1t is believed >that all of the accused
will be convicted and deported or ex-
ecuted.

TESTS RELIABILITY OF
LAW COURTS EVIDENCE
Swiss Educator Makes Interest
ing Experiment

GENEVA, Oct. 21.-Prof. Marquis OF
Lausanne university has made some
interesting experiments which seem
to prove that evidence given in law
courts is seldom reliable.
Last week he questioned a number
of his students concerning various
parts of the university buildings and
other objects which are before their
eyes every day. Out Of fifty-four stu
dents not one was able to answer eight
questions correctly, and when asked
about certain window forty-five de-
MED it's existence. eight affirmed 1t,
and one remained undecided
Another test of their powers of OBJ
servation was to ask them to describe
the dress and appearance of man
wearing a mask who had been intro
duced into the lecture room two days
before. Their answers varied consid-
erably. They were also shown ten
masks, out Of which they were to Sc
lect that worn by the man. Out or
twenty-four students, only four rec
ognized the correct mask, eleven made
mistakes and nine could not make up
their minds about it.
'All these persons" says Prof. Mar
duis, "are men of education and cul-
ture. What, then, are we to think OF
the statements made in criminal law
courts by persons who belong to less
educated classes?"

last night by a man who answers the
description of the degenerate who has
been terrorizing Boyle Heights, Mrs. B.
J. Callahan of 3259 East Fourth street.
when attacked by the intruder, fought
him desperately and finally put him to
rout by a well directed kick. Before
neighbors could reach the scene the as
sailant of Mrs. Callahan arose and
made his escape in the darkness.
Mrs. Callahan left her home shortly
before o'clock and went several blocks
away to visit q neighbor. Her husband
being out of the city, Mrs. Callahan re-
NAMED at the home of the neighbor un-
til 9 o'clock, then walked slowly toward
her own home. She entered the place
through a rear door, and after turning
on the electric lights, called to next
door neighbor and asked her to come
over and spend the night. The neigh
Dor assented and replied that she would
be over in a few minutes.
Mrs Callahan left the rear door open
so that her friend could come in, and
busted herself about the kitchen. Sud
denly a man sprang from behind the
door and ordered her to make no out
cry under penalty of being killed. he
Blocked her way to the open door, ana
when he saw that she was looking Tor
an avenue of escape he Sprang toward
her. Mrs. Callahan fought him off
Nth her clencEed fists, and just as he
was about to seize her by the throat
she planted hard kick in the pit of his
stomach.
The assailant reeled backward out of
the door and fell. The woman then
screamed for help, and just as the
neighbors entered the yard the man
staggered to his feet, hesitated for
moment, then ran out of the yard.
Mrs. callahan described the intruder
as being between % and "a years old,
and weighing between 14O and $50
pounds she said he was feet 8, or 10
inches in height and wore dark coat
and trousers, a white soft shirt, and
black hat with four dents in the crown.
She says the man was rough looking,
and she is positive that his eyes are
blue. Her description answers that of
the degenerate who has attacked sew
eral women in that district during the
past two months.
Officers from the east side station
were hurried to the scene and are
searching the district in an effort to
find the criminal.
IT is the supposition that the man
followed Mrs. Callahan to her home and
entered. the house while she was in a
front room.

EDGAR SALTUS AND
OLGA SINCLAIR WED
Friends of Writer and Former
Attendant in Library Hear
of Oklahoma Wedding

Friends of Edgar Saltus, we'll known
writer and apostle Of the asthetic, have
heard that the a lthor was quietly mar
ried recently to Miss olga Sinclair at
the home of her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Mel Sinclair, at Delaware, Okla, and
that the couple are now enjoying their
honeymoon in southern seas, some
where off the coast of South America.
Miss Sinclair resigned her position
in the Los Angeles public library as
an attendant last June, and on the 1st
of July left for the home of her
parents.
Mrs. F. ]. Bronson, from whom Miss
Sinclair rented a small cottage at 1l42
Arapahoe street for six months prior
to leaving Los Angeles, said Miss Sin
clair had told her she was engaged to
be married to Saltus and that the we'd
ding would soon take place at the
home of her parents in Oklahoma.
"Miss Sinclair told me-" said Mrs.
Bronson last night, 'that their honey
moon would be passed cruising on a
yacht off South America and that they
would later visit the principal points
of interest in Europe"
"Saltus," said Mrs. Bronson, "called
on Miss Sinclair frequently at my cot
tage and appeared very attentive"
The romance, it is said, began in the
public library, which Saltus visited
frequently to take out books. Miss
Sinclair, the attendants say, appeared
to take an interest in the writer which
ripened into strong bonds of friend
ship.
The rumor that the couple would
soon wed was rife several months ago,
but Saltus at the time entered an em-
phatic denial.
Saltus lives in New York and is the
author OF several well-knOwn books
that have served to bring him into
prominence in the literary world,
among them "a Transaction In
Hearts" "When Dreams Come True, "
MARY Magdalen," Imperial Purple,
"Purple and Fine Women" "The
Pomps of Satan" "Historia Amoris"
and 1.-THE Lords of Ghostland."
Saltus was born in New York June
8. 1858. He was educated in st. Paul's
school. Concord, n. H, and later I'M
ished his education in several of the
leading universities of Europe. He
attended the Sorbonne, Paris; Hell
delberg and Munich, Germany; and
the Columbia law school. He is a
member of the Manhattan club New
York; Blenheim, London, and Capu-
cines club in Paris.
Miss Sinclair is many years the
Junior of Saltus. She is tall, slender
and pretty, with a wealth of dark
brown hair. She is said to be a great
student and an admirer of Saltus'
works.

FORGET SPEED LIMIT TO
GET MARRIAGE LICENSE
Groom BorroWs Preachers Auto
to Hasten Wedding

CHESTER, Pa, Oct. 21.-Love laughed
at trolley cars and Dan Cupid proved
that he. is wise to the modern means of
surmounting obstacles when big
touring car, the property of the Rev.
DR.. George w. Henson, a Philadelphia
clergyman, was pressed into service
for a trip to Media to procure a license
permitting George A. Hobe and Miss
Phoebe Jeanette Whitson Of New York
city to be made man and wife.
The pair, accompanied by john Whit
son, father of the young woman, called
at Trinity Methodist Episcopal church
parsonage late yesterday afternoon and
said they wanted to get married. No
license had been procured, but the
young man said he would go and get
one. He was told that the court house
would be closed by the time he reached
Media, and the wedding party was
plunged into the depths of despair,
when the Rev. DR.. Henson, who was
attending the district Epworth league
convention, volunteered the use of his
automobile.
Perhaps somebody exceeded the speed
laws in the trip to the county seat, but
with Cupid at the wheel nobody had
the heart to put up a kick. The mar
riage took place last evening.

AVIATOR BRUCKER WILL
ESSAY FLIGHT OVER SEA
Former ChicagOan Plans West
ward Atlantic Trip

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-The next at
tempt to cross the Atlantic ocean in a
balloon will probably be made on a
westward course-the opposite direction
from that attempted by Wellman.
The expedition win be that Cf Joseph
Brucker, formerly of Chicago, who has
been engaged for a year in the prelim-
mary plans of his airship trip. Bruck-
er's dirigible, the Suchard, is approach
ing completion at Munich. The entire
equipment will be shipped to the Ca
nary islands at the end of the year. and
the start westward is scheduled to be
made from Teneriffe next February.
Brucker's first scheme was to start
from Cadiz. The adoption of Teneriffe
as a starting point will save him zoo
miles Of travel over the ocean.
The Suchard is 200 feet long and has
$500 cubic meters gas capacity Two
200 horsepower motors will drive the
airship by means of two propellers. The
balloon win carry a 35-foot lifeboat,
with a gasoline equipment
Brucller hopes to sail with favoring
northeast trade winds to Porto Rico OF
Haytl.
If necessary he can make a descent
there and then continue his voyage over
Cuba to New Orleans. He has novel
method of overcoming the effect of the
SUMS rays on the balloon, which in the
case of the Wellman expedition sent the
America bounding up to height of $500
feet. He proposes to meet this, not by
an equilibrator. as planned by Melvin
Vaniman, but by filling tanks with
water to act as ballast during the warm
hours of the day, and emptying them
again as the cool OF evening comes on.
To do this he proposes to ship an
automatic pump attached to the engine
of the airship, which will take in and
discharge water through long hose
hung from the lower part of the bal

James Smith and Gilbert Lancaster,

the boys told Sergeant Conroy "but at

our money until we had 500 and we

we lived on ice cream soda. Now we

now they won't have potatoes so
