DEFENDANT
 IN MURDER TRIAL
Denver Case That Has Sensational and
 CompIicated Features.

Denver. Dec. This man (GenkyO Mitsunaga) although a foreigner, is being tried by jury and not by mOb,''
 With this rebuke to a laugh that swept the court room. Judge Hubert L. Shattuck ordered the bailiffs to clear the courtroom of spectators. The Judge gave no intimatiOn as to whether this order will be revoked at tOmOrrOw's hearing.
 The defense in the trial of Mitsunaga a little Japanese house cleaner. charged with the murder of Mrs. Katherine Wilson. failed today in it's attempt to separate the three counts on which the defendant is being tried. The prosecu- ton said it hoped for a conviction on the charge of murder and nothing else whereupon the judge Overruled the de fense's motion for a separation of the counts
 Drs. A. L. Bennett and George H Lee. who performed an autopsy on Mrs Wilson, were the first witnesses called. Bennett stated that it was highly probable that Mrs. Wilson died in a furious struggle for her life. Ridgley Wilson. husband of the murdered wOm- an, took the stand in the afternoon and on cross examination the defense en- deavOred to undermine Wilson's alibi. preparatory to laying the foundation for it's charge that the murder was committed by some person other than MitSunaga

there is trouble in Chihuahua. which appears likely to continue.
 This is a summary of conditions along the Rio Grande. given today by Brigadier General Earl D. Thomas. commander of the department of Colo rado. returning from New Mexico and Arizona. where he has been upon a two months tour of inspection. Regarding conditions in Chihuahua, General Thomas continued:
 "The insurgent force is pretty we'll organized. It consists of about 800 or 600 troops. From reports we received from the interior of Chihuahua. it ap- pears to be the center of disturbance However. think that it will be quiet ed soon"
 General Thomas believes the strength of the Mexican insurrectOs has been exaggerated. He says the state of SO- nora is quiet and that reported fighting around TorreOn is not so severe as the early dispatches indicated. He states that the smuggling of arms into Mexico has been stopped.

LOVE IN \ CAVE WAS
 ALL RIGHT IN SUMMER "KIDDiES" MISSED THE FIRE SIDE WHEN WINTER CAME. But They Were Game Lovers and Will Be Allowed to Marry
 and Live Happily.

Newark N J.. Dec. 1.-Lavarre Tallman. IS years old and Beatrice Sanders of the same age, were mar ried tonight after a romantic ad- venture. For six weeks they lived in cave in the Catskill mountains. having left home because their par ents would not consent to their mar riage. The bride is a member of a prosperous Newark family. Her husband is a drug clerk. They fell in love last summer. When per mission tO marry was refused they fled to the mountains with what little money they had. They found cave which was furnished with cheap rugs and rusty furniture.
 Tallman shot rabbits and caught fish and the girl fried them in an old pan found in an abandoned camp. Cold weather drove them from the mountain retreat to YOnkers, where the boy got work as a driver, but lost his place and the couple were at the railway station last night trying to keep warm when a policeman arrested them on the charge of vagrancy.
 The girls parents promised on learning her whereabouts that there would be no further opposition to the marriage if the couple would re- turned to Newark.

Final Touches Were Given To Il Yesterday
COUHsELEO WITH CABINET
Special Message Will Be Sent to Congress Elm bodying the Report of the Army Engineers on the Reclamation Work.

Washington. Dec. 1.-President Taft today completed his message and sent it to the government printing office in its final form. The document was laid before the cabinet at a special session which began at 10 o'clock this morning and lasted until nearly 3 this after noon. The message is said to be un- usually long, estimates running from 30,000 to 10000 words.

BETTER SHOWING IN
 NATIONS FINANCES
NOVEMBER SHOWS A SURPLUS
 OF NEARLY A MILLION.
Fine Improvement Over October and
 Conditions Prevailing a Year Ago.

Washington, D. C.. Dec 1.-NoVem- Der was a highly favorable month for the treasury. It showed a surplus on all accounts of nearly "a million dollars where October produced a defi- cit of more than s5.OOO.OOO. The work ing conditions of the national cash drawer show a corresponding improve ment for the month.
 December opened today with a working balance of $34, ,OO0. .OOO on hand and sS6. COG. 900 in tine general fund an improvement of about S2.0O0. .000 in cash available for immediate oper- ations. This condition would seem to justify Secretary MacVeagh's cOnfi- dence in the treasurys ability to maintain itself for the present without new financing.
 If the drain of Panama expenditure which is about s3.0OO.O00 a month, and which was not intended as a charge on the treasury. could be eliminated from the calculation. November would show a surplus of more than $4 ,000, 900 over all expenditures.
 Pronounced cuts in the governments expenses and a gain of S3.000.000 in receipts over last month are partly responsible for the showing Gus toms, the internal revenue. and other revenue sources made decided gains and brought the months total up to $5S.470. 900. A decrease of s2,OOO,0 900 in civil expenditures, $2.000.00O in the army. $3.00O,000 in the navy. and ether items. brought the expenditures for down to $54. 100000. 5000 900 less than October. The result of this is that the total deficit for the fiscal year to date is S2O.0OO. 900. as against s44.OOO.OOO at this time last year.

EARLIER PROCEEDINGS.

Louisville, Dec. If I killed that little girl. no one saw me but God. and He can't come down and testify" said Vending, when arrested in San Fran cisco for the murder Of Alma Kellner according to the testimony of Chief Detective Carney given at Vending $ trial today. The prosecution rested it's case.
 The words attributed to Vending by the Louisville officer had previously been testified to by Detective Sergeant Burke of san Francisco. who assisted in the capture of Vending.
 Another witness who aroused great interest was Mrs. Cora Munea. mll- liner of Hume, Mo, to whom Vending paid court while she was visiting rela- tives in Houston. Tex. Mrs. Munea. testified that Vending represented himself as a rich Frenchman and showed her a wound in the hand which he claimed he sustained in the Boer war.
 He displayed no emotion during the examination of the three strongest wit nesses against him. The defense will offer its opening statement tomorrow and testimony in Wendling's behalf. it is expected, will occupy at least a day and a half.

PATRoLLINe SOUTH COAST.
Bear Looking for Boats Loaded With
 Struggled Chinese.

San Diego, Dec. 1.-Patrolling the coast from the Mexican line south of San Diego, north toward Santa Monica. the revenue cutter Bear. loaded with immigration officers. is searching for two gasoline vessels reported to be en route north from Mazatlan, loaded with Chinese whom it is intended to smuggle into this country.
 According to a report which reached the water front this morning the snug gling craft left Mazatlan some weeks ago loaded with Chinese who paid a smuggling fec to be put on American shores.
 According to the report. one of the vessels contains twenty Chinese and the other eighteen. If the smugglers should succeed in passing the revenue cutter. probably they will run close to shore under cover of night and land the human cargo somewhere between here and Santa Monica.

Mexico City, Dec. 1.-Porfirio Diaz tonight issued to the Associated Press the following message. addressed tO all nations. on the occasion of his in ! auguration for the eighth time as chief executive of Mexico: Tt is very gratifying to me to say that my heart is full of faith in the progress of a people which, like the Mexican. knows how to conquer by their own effort and place the lover of toll. after having proved his valor in war in the patriotic defense of his country.
 T am glad today. more than I can declare, that Mexico belongs definitely to a group of nations assured of sta bility because. against the firm guar antee of peace which we possess, no influence tending toward dissolution can now or ever prevail.
 As to the relations of Mexico and the United States and other friendly nations, they have never been more cordial. as indicated convincingly during the celebration of Mexico's in- dependence
 The ceremonies attending the talk ing of the oath of fealty by DiaZ and Corral were held peaceably today. No discOrdant note was there, though the occasion was shOrn of some of the brilliant features of former years by reason of the recent disturbances. but there was no lack of dgnified ceremonial
 Notwsthstanding a realization on the part of everyone that the possi- bility of any attempt of the foes of Diaz' administration to interfere with today's inauguration. a remote feeling of relief was apparent among the peo- pie at large, and doubtless shared by those in authority. when the event was happily concluded.
 There will be no change in the per sonnel of the cabinet. but in accord ance with the custom each of the ministers submitted his resignation. Each was asked, however, to retain his portfolio.
 The inaugural ceremonies occurred in the temporary quarters of the chamber of deputies palace. Along the sides of the hall were seated the senators and deputies. In the rear sat a few specially invited guests. and above those. in the balcony, were the diplomatic representatives.
 At 1O:1O o'clock Diaz entered the hall. clad in black. without decoration He strode quietly up the aisle, accom- panied by the vice-president and the member SOf the cabinet, while every one in the house save Dr. Manuel Flores, president of the chamber of deputies. who administered the oath, rose and remained standing. The ceremonies consumed less than 15 minutes As each took the oath and was proclaimed in office. the room rang with clapping and 'vivas.'
 The presidential party and the dip- Iomats were driven immediately to the national palace by the same route traversed in coming. accompanied by staff of mounted officers.
 At the palace Diaz received the con- gratulations of the deputatiOns and various branches of the government. A few minutes later he received the diplomats in private chambers. Am bassador Wilson. dean of the corps, made a formal address, which was re- spOnded to by the president
 Tonight the city is brilliantly light ed.
 A feature of the inauguration was the distribution among the poor of of dollars worth of food and blankets by circle of friends of Diaz.

The recall~ in its fiercest and most sOcialistic aspect, was Yesterday made part of the constitution. No one seemed concerned about it except a minority of the democrats, who per haps did not believe that it would make any difference in the final re- suit, though it was stated by couple of them that they believed that the acceptance of the measure as it then stood. including the judiciary. m the operation of the recall, meant the cer- tain defeat of statehood. It is quite likely that the same gentlemen be- heved. as the republicans old. that statehood was already too dead 90 skin, but they were more farseeing than the radicals and dreaded the re- ac. ion.
 The republican members offered no opposition to the proposition at any ti,oc Not a word was spoken by che of them against it. They voted gen. orally with the radicals aga 'ns. every attempt to temporize, but on the final vote went on record against the prop osition.
 Had they voted or shown a disposi- ton to vote on a motion by MT. WeDo to re-refer the proposition. that would have carried; again. had they shown d disposition to support a motion by MT Cassidy to submit the natter to the people separately. that might also have carried, though the vote against it was overwhelming. But some of the democrats. having seen that the re- pubIieans were intent upon forcing the entire responsibility for the fail ure of statehood upon the democrats. voted with the majority, though they would gladly bave supported the Cas- sidy amendment if there had been hope of it's success.

THE FINAL CEREMONIES.
Futile Efforts to Put Off the Evil
 Day.

Ii did not take long to drive this additional and unnecessary nail into the coffin of statehood. Substitute for proposition Is was reported from the committee on style and revision. and the amendments having been noted, Mir. Winsor moved the adoption of the report. That was done, and MT. Webb moved a re-reference of the measure to the committee in order to give him time to prepare an amendment siml- lar to one he had offered in the earlier consideration of the bin. As 1t now stands. it provided that in the case of a recall election the name of the officer to be recalled, as well as other nominees, shall be placed upon the ballot Unless the officer shall receive the highest number of votes he shall be considered to have been recalled.
 It had been proposed that the pro ceedings should not be complicated by a scramble for the office, in which the guilt or innocence of the accused officer should be lost sight of. But this plan had been rejected by the standing committee and the commit tee of the whole.
 
 Webb was in the nature of a com promise. He wanted the ballot at the recall election so arranged, that the voter might vote. for his favOrite can- didate. and at the same time vote Recall. yes" or Recall, mo-
 He argued that in no other way could the accused officer obtain jus tice. There would be against him in the first place blind partisan preju- dice. that heavy vote which is always cast for the party ticket, though its leading candidate be a yellow dog
 The First Failure.
 There was a debate over the pro- priety of the motion, the radical lead CTS holding that such an amendment as MT. Webb intended to offer had been barred by the previous action of the convention. But it was de- cided that the motion was in order and it went to a vote, with the follow ing result:

CTS of Gila county did not send the delegation from that county down here to refer matters back to them.
 Mir Crutchfield, referring to the fact that the delegation from this county had not been pledged to the recall in the constitution was of the opinion that the people of Maricopa did not know at the time what they wanted. but the candidates from the stump had told them and had at the same time pledged themselves.
