st. Louis. June Mrs. Dora e.
Doxey. who is accused of poisoning
VIM. ]. Erder, took the witness stand
in her own defense in Judge Grimm's
court today. She denied emphatically
all connection with the death Of
Erder, even remotely, and excused
her other acts on the ground that she
was the victim of the morphine habit.
After DR.. G. NJ. Watson. the jail
physician, told of the gradual elimin-
alton Of the morphine treatment
while the accused was in jail, Mrs.
Doxey began her testimony by telling
OF her marriage to DIR. L. B. Doxey
on Aug. %, 1906. She testified she
became addicted to morphine in
March, 1907. when Doxey supplied it
to her. "On some days Doxey gave
1t to me every hour. remonstrated
with him and begged him not to do
1t, but he insisted that he knew best
what I ought to have. tried to break
the habit, but he would not let me-"
The defense's attorney announced this
morning that they expected to COM
plete their case today. In that event
the argument of counsel probably will
begin tomorrow and the case may
reach the jury by Saturday.

Washington, June 2.-Unfavorable

"The weather of the week as a

College Education
There is one danger Of college
education and four years of life un-
der college influences that It seems
to me wise to warn against. It is the
danger TO discomfort with the sur
roundings Of the home to which the
college girl goes back after gradua-
ton and the yielding to the feeling
that her own town or city does not
ocer to her the opportunities which
she Is entitled to in the use of the
education which she has acquired"
said the president addressing the
graduates. He continued:
"It gives her after she is settled
at home again, a nil admirari spirit,
longing for something she does not
have, the spirit of criticism toward
everything which surrounds her and
the consequent inability to contribute
to the happiness of those with whom
she lives or comes in contact This
is not the right result of higher edu-
cation. A young lady with higher
education has much to learn after
graduation in the homely details and
drudgery Of ordinary life and the SOON
er she learns it the happier ard ear
lier she can adapt to its highest use,
the knowledge and mental training
acquired in college"

REGION IS THE YELLOW BRAND
The Jurors May Be Asked to Eat DIFF.
ferent Kinds of Bread to Determine

bleached Flour.

Kansas City, June 2.-Edward P.
Smith of Omaha, attorney for the
millers in the bleached -four case
which is being tried in the federal
court here. made his opening state
ment to the jury today. He said the
case Is not litigation between the
government and the several sacks Of
flour that has been seized, as the gov
ernment's brief seemed to indicate,
but a suit between the millers of Min
nesota and Dakotas. whose -four is
naturally white, and the millers of
Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri and Iowa,
whose wheat produces flour that is
just bit yellow. The government
alleges that the process used by the
millers in bleaching flour adulterates
1t in violation of the federal pure
food law. 1t is charged that elements
are introduced into the flour which
DESTROYED its breadmaking possibili-
ties and when taken into the stom-
ach, form gases which affect the
lungs and attack the blood. Attorney
Smith argued that bread made from
bleached flour does not have this ef-
feet.
The opening statement by the gov
ernment was made yesterday.
Jurymen will probably be called
upon to masticate bread from bleach
ed and unbleached flour in an effort
to convince them whether the use Of
the different processes changes the
quality Of the food.
Both sides have many experts here
ready to testify. One of the govern
ment experts is Miss Hanna Weeling
Of Chicago. a scientific bread baker in
the government employ. Shes is paid
$1,000 year for her knowledge in
regard to the quality Of different kinds
of flour.

Reference to the Customs Decree
Just Issued.

Bluefields, Nicaragua. June 2.-Dr.
Julian Irias. the representative on the
Atlantic coast of President Madriz,
has issued decree that vessels
cleared for Bluefields on or after June
1, may not enter this port without
permission of the Madriz government.
The decree sets forth that all shipping
which cleared for 6luefields before
that date will be permitted to enter
the harbor after the payment of Gus
tom duties at the custom house on
Bluefields bluff, which was recently
captured and is still held by the gov
ernment troops.
The official decree was issued from
aboard the Nicaraguan war vessel
Venus. and If its provision are OBJ.
served it will mean that the coast
wide traffic will be absolutely in con-
troll of President Madriz and will
result in the consequent weakening
Of the position of the insurgents at
Bluefields.
The United States gunboat Paducah
will not permit any bombardment of
the city Of Bluef1elds or permit the
Madriz army to shell the trenches of
the revolutionists on the inland side
Of the city by firing over the pro-
visional capital. Whether the United
States government will allow the
Nicaraguan government to say what
vessels shall enter the chief eastern
seaport of the country, and under
what conditions such entry shall be
made, is matter of doubt here.

Kansas City, June 2.-Sitting in his
cell at the county Jail this afternoon,
holding through the bars the hand of

reporter Of his plans for the future
and his absolute confidence that ulti-
mately he will be freed and hiseinno-
cense declared to the world.
Doctor Hyde had just concluded a
long walk-a five mile walk, in the

with perspiration from his exercise
and sat in a chair, breathing heavily,
when Mrs. Hyde came and greeted
him through the bars of his cell.
Just q Little Paler.
The weeks of confinement have told
little on the physician. His face, al
ways thin, appeared trifle paler, but
that was all. The same absolute con-
f1dence in the ultimate outcome of his
case marked his demeanor.
"How are you feeling today. dear
ie?" he said, as he reached a hand
through the bars and seized the hand
Of his wife. He shook hands with his
sister, Miss Laura Hyde. who accom-
panied her, and then turned to the re-
porter.

said. II feel absolutely confident that

cannot see how he can do otherwise.
Perhaps 1t is my absolute knowledge
of my own innocence that makes ME

physician continued:

what its details will be like no one

heavily upon the wealthy. No "shift

On thing in particular at which 1t

out OF the aristocracy, which has been

a little retaliatory squeezing-if land

Bat with the income tax the situa-
tioi: is different. That increase is not
going to be 30 popular. And there
are good reasons why not. In theory
no doubt It 10 just tax, but in prac-
,tiee. as 1t 10 collected In England, It
is anything but that. People with in
cones Of not more than $76S per an.
nun pay no tax whatever. From that
UP to $4,000 they are allowed exemp-
tons on certain proportion which
gradually decreases as the income
grows larger. From 1890 upward
there Is no exemption at all.
Tax Is High.
All this is very satisfactory. ex-

is twenty-four cents in every $3.50.
On earned incomes it is eighteen
