Cambridge, Mass, Dec. 9.-NIrs.
Irene lie Blanc Langley, one of the
sisters of Hattie LIE Blanc, testified at
the opening of todays session of the
Glover murder trial that Hattie had
threatened to commit suicide if con-
victed on the testimony of Mrs.
Glover. Mrs. Langley's statement
was made in response to the ques-
tions of District Attorney Higgins in
the cross-eXamination. She further
testified that when the body of Glover
was brought into the house Mrs.
Glover turned her back on it. A mail
carrier was then called who said that
Mrs. Glover had received more than
five hundred letters in the past three
years under the name of Minnie
Everett Clark.
Mrs. Glover three times threatened
to buy a revolver and shoot her hus-
band. according to the testimony of
Mrs. Kate Sampson of Auburndale,
one of the witnesses for the defense.
Mrs. Sampson said Mrs. Glover
made these threats while visiting her
at Auburndale and that she appeared
enraged because, she said, she had
found her husband insulting Hattie
Le Blanc, who then was working in
their home.
The witness further said Mrs.
Glover told her of having repeatedly
beaten Hattie and that once Mrs.
Glover brought Hattie to the home of
the witness and struck her under the
chin in an attempt to make her con-
fess that she had acted improperly
with Glover.

Teheran, Dec. 9.-The new British
note to the Persit.n government lays
stress upon the readiness OF the Brit
ish government to welcome any prop
er scheme OF tranquilizat:on. 1t Is
admitted in British circles that the
Persian government at last is doing
all in its power to restore order along
the Shiraz route. but unfortunately a
serious robbery of British merchan-
disc has occurred recently. Soviet
ed-Dowleh, the Kashgai Grief, has
undertaken the pursuit of the robbers
and has given guarantee for the Sc

A Persian force with British OFF,

ment of India, is one OF the measures
which the British minister, Sir George
Barclay. in the long array of corres-
pondence over the disturbances in the
present conditions of anarchy. Sir
George declares that 1t would be Inn
possible to contend that this would
constitute an infringement of Persian
sovereign rights, as the officers would
serve under the Persian government.
Regarding the Persian demand for
permission to levy ten per cent sur
charge on the import duties on goods
passing through the southern GUS
toms, the British note declares that
the British government can agree
only on condition that the proceeds
are spent effectively in securing the
safety of the southern trade routes. In
this connection the. British minister
observes that the scheme for the or

plan for uniform course of study In

the same general courses and require
a certain amount of work in each

TO RAISE THE MAINE
Proviso Determining Feasibility
of Raising Wreck

Washington, June 16.-The House
passed a bill May 9 appropriating
800, 200 for the removal of the wreck
of the battleship Maine from the bot
tom of Havana Harbor. Now in the
Sundry Civil bill is a proviso that
500, 600 be made available for deter
mining the feasibility of raising the
wreckintact.
According to the army engineers
tine sum appropriated is wholly in
sufficient to raise the wrecF. 1t is, in
their opinion, barely enough to pro-
vide for blowing up the Maine for the
purpose of removing the hulk as a
menace to navigation in the harbor.
The administration hesitates to
proceed with the blasting of the hulk
without the sanction of Congress
The fear is expressed that should the
ship be blown up rather than raised, a
storm of protest would sweep over the
country, said Representative John
J. Fitzgerald of New York to The
World correspondent.

TRIAL OF HARRIS
1urv is Given Five Hours to Decide
Case

Manassas, Va. June 16.-Agruments
in the second trial of Prof. J. D. Har-
ris, for the murder last summer of W.
A. Thompson, editor OF the Warrenton
Virglnian, will close tomorrow morn
ing and the ease be given to the jury.
Today arguments were made by At
torney Mcintyre, for the state, and
Attorney Byrd, for the defense. The
attorney for the defense said that the
chief testimony relied upon by the
prosecution was given by Irving Max
heimer, brother in law of the deceas-
ed.
One of the strong points for the
Commonwealth, is the fact at Thomp-
son had bullet wound IN the right
leg, the ball entering between the hip
and knee, and ranging upward. THE
theory of the Commonwealth is that
Harris did not wait until he was at
tackled by Thompson to draw his re-
volver, but that the accused having
stepped off the pavement, and thus be-
ing on a lower elevation than Thomp
son, had fired the shot while the lat
ter r-still was on the pavement, the pis-
tol being pointed upward.
Numerous instructions were given
the jury by the. court this morning.
and which, as whole, seem favorable
to the accused. All of the instruc.
tions asked for by the defense were
granted, while of those asked by tine
Commonwealth, one was refused and
three amended. Five hours were alott-
ed each side for argument.

IMPROVEMENT IN SOUTH
Southern Commercial Congress
Gives Facts And Figures

0AtCS 0$lo auQ + uxCS
Washington, D. c., June 17.-An
analysis. just completed by the South
ern Commercial Congress- of various
exports in eleven months, ending May
1910, shows facts of importance to
the Southern States.
OF the 80, 673, 965 bushels of corn ex-
ported, 18, 53l, ,049 reached the COM
merce of the world through Southern
ports, $3.50, 1876 through North At
lantic ports, and 5,472,78 through
Pacific and Lake ports The leaders
i'll exports of corn we're, in the order
named, Baltimore, New Orleans, New
York. Compared with the same num-
er of months ending May, 1908, New
Orleans is shown to have made a gain
of nearly 1900, 600 bushels in the face
of total decline of 10, 600, 600 bushels
for the United States.
Nearly half of the oatmeal export
ed, went out through Southern ports.
The exports of oatmeal through
Baltimore nearly equaled the total
exported through New York and Phil
adelphia together. Since 1908 there
has been falling off in oatmeal ex-
ported of nearly 5000, 600 pounds.
Notwithstanding this decline, which
has affected New York and PhAadel-
phia most seriously, Baltimore has
about doubled on the exports of that
year.
The heaviest shipments of wheat
from the United States go out through
Pacific and Lake ports. Of the bal
ance, nearly one third went out
through Southern ports. The three
leaders in Southern ports are, in the
order named, Baltimore 3,O47, 6S3,
Galveston 2,4OO,O64 New Orleans
1854, 486. The crop report issued June
8, shows that "a 1-2 per ceno Of the
winter wheat area is in the Southern
States and that, including Missouri,
more than 80 per cent of the area is
SO situated. This will surprise those
who have given but little thought
to the Southern States as a wheat
growing country. The condition re-
port for June LIST shows an average of
81 points for the Southern States, ex-
Missouri, against 81 in Kan
sas
Mobile is the only city along the
Atlantic or Gulf that shows an in
creased expectation, of bread stuffs
over both 1908 and 1909. The same is
true in meat and dairy products.
The total exported has fallen off near
y 40 per cent. in two years; but Mo-
bile has more than doubled in the
same period.
The commerce of Southern ports
in mineral oil products shows sJeady |
growth over the eleven months ending
May, 1908 Baltimore has gained near
ly 3,O00,O 200 gallons. Sabine Port
Arthur has jumped from 68, ia, 75l
gallons to 1873, ,678, ,O9l gallons Gal
weston is slowly recovering from the
