"THE WEIGHING HOUR.,

A large number of people in Chi
 Thomas strange telepathic drama, The Witching Hour," in which the Messrs Shubert will introduce the eminent actor, MT. John Mason, at the Elks Theater Wednesday night, did more than any other medium to- ward bringing out the verdict of not guilty for Mrs. Dora Mcdonald, who last year was on trial before Judge Brentano for the murder of Webster the moment the police seized her as she stood above the proStrate body of Guerin until the jury was boiled, Mrs Mcdonald was theatric, and her de- sire to seek rest and quiet in the sunny South immediately after her acquittal was an anti-climaX. The world, perhaps, will never know how much the Thomas play had to do with rolling away the vision of the peni- CcuCldly uOOl Cudl uGI lOI many days.
 Judge Berntano sympathized with the Mcdonald jury. The trial had been a long drawn out one, and this acted upon the nerves of the jurors like solitary confinement does upon some prisoners. Therefore when some one suggested an evening at the thea trs for the twelve men the Judge thought it was just the thing, and the jury was conducted to the Garrick Theater, where they literally drank in the metaphysics of the play; and, reasoning by analogy, those residents of the Windy City who thought the case against Mrs. Mcdonald was too strong to admit of acquittal, are blaming the play for the attitude of the jurors who tersely defended their action for freeing the prisoner.

HARMONY WAS

National Rivers and HarbOrs Congress Commend the Attitude of President Taft and Urge Annual Appropria-

Washington, D. C., Dec.- 9.-With the adoption of resolutions clearly outlining it's attitude on the improve ment of waterways and the re-elec- tion of Representative Joseph B.

 The resolutions commend the atti- tude of President Taft and urge the lannual appropriation of S5O,000,000 by Congress for improvement of wat erways, to be paid out of current rev. enues where possible; otherwise by the issuance and sale of bonds.
 It is declared, however, that the congress favors such bond issue only for permanent improvements, and that the issue should be limited to

VERDICT UNDER

 Was Returned.

Vincemnes, Ind, Dec. 9.-'sNot gull ty' was the verdict of the jury to- day in the case of Menlo Moore, man. ager of circuit of theaters, who was charged with the murder of Chase Gibson, wealthy operator in the h. diana-Illinois oil fields.
 The killing followed confession alleged to have been made by Mrs. Moore that Gibson had assaulted her.
 When the verdict was read the crowd in the courtroom broke into a mighty cheer, and men rushed upon the platform and carried Moore from the courtroom.
 The court made no effort to stop the demonstration.
 The trial has been in progress for about 10 days, and was one of the most sensational murder cases ever tried ,n Southern Indiana.

WHAT CAUSES
 MANY EXPLOSIONS
Of Engine Boilers Trying to Be De-
 termined by the Railroads.

Railway officials have begun an investigation into the cause of en- zine boiler explosions, according to the following special from Fort Scott Kans., to the Denison Herald The four explosions of locomotive boilers near Fort Scott in the last two years, the blowing up of the flyers engine on Greenfield hill in which a Fort Scott engine crew was killed, the blowing up of the engine pulling the Meteor near Olathe only engine crew we'll known here met their death, and two similar explo- sions on the M. K. & T.. have attract led the csose attention of railroad men employed in all departments of mechanical work and determined ef forts are making to learn the cause so that similar accidents may be averted in the future.
 Following the explosion of the Me teor's engine, the dismantled boiler was brought here and while here was inspected by officials of three roads-the Frisco, Missouri Pacific and Katy, but nothing conclusive could be determined asl to the cause of the catastrophe, though the gen. eral verdict was low water. The question is one that is attracting the attention of mechanical men from all roads, as such explosions are all too frequent, and the Interstate Com merce Commissioners have also taken the matter under serious considera- tion.
 The following from ''When the Boiler Blows Up,'' in the December number of the Technical World Magazine, tells of the number of such accidents and of the large death rate resulting from them:
 Nobody will ever know how msny boilers blew up in the United States in 1909 but any one who will take the trouble, may learn that at least $50 of them did. That is at the rate of an explosion every 16 hours and six minutes in the year. Tn these $50 boiler explosions 227 persons were killed outright, and 422 others were injured. Considering the modest and Cnobtrusive way in which the slaugh- ter goes on this is pretty good score.
 There is one class of boilers, and one only concerning which official statistics exist, and even these are incomplete, and this is the locomo- tive boiler. The Interstate Commerce Commission is able to announce that from July 1, 1904, to June 30, 1909. 265 persons were killed and 3,656 were injured in explosions of loco motive boilers, but not even the In- terstate Commerce Commission knows how many were blown up to accom- plish this result.
 From unofficial sources it may be learned that in 1907 there were 51 locomotive boiler Explosions, which means that one out of each thousand in use that year blew up, killing 1o1

The members Of the police depart
ment are working four hours over
time each day to give Pensacola
Christmas shoppers adequate police
protection. Hence, two watches are
IN duty and one off, whereas the usual
program is for one watch on duty and
Two off, This arrangement causes the
bluecoats to work four hours overtime
each day, and the city Is receiving
good protection.
In the business district the usual
number Of men is doubled. This ap-
plies also to the outlying districts and
the extra desk sergeant and turnkey
do extra time also, being detailed to
assist the office force. The converted
day squad now goes on duty at 8
o'clock and remains until o'clock in
the evening. Then the squad that
goes on duty at in the afternoon is
augmented by the squad going Oft
