IN BATTLE OF WITS
Attorney Gets Little Satisfaction
From Mrs. Glover, Widow of
Slain Man.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Dec. o.
Showing the same cleverness that
she exhibited yesterday in her merci
less cross. examination by the attor-
ney for the defense, Mrs. Lillian NJ.
Glover, widow of the man for whose
murder Hattie Leblanc, the 17-year-
old Canadian girl Is now on trial, re-
sumed the witness stand today.
Attorney Johnson finally dismissed
Mrs. Glover with the statement that
he would probably recall her. lie evil

from her testimony.
Mrs. Freeman, neighbor testified

George A. Freeman, Of Auburndale,
husband of Mrs. Freeman. the next
witness, told OF the search of the
house by the officers.
Describing mis- part in the finding
of Hattie on Tuesday afternoon, after
the funeral, he said that In company
with the officers ne took them to
the room where Hattie was found
and enc OF them looked under the

TAFT CLUB IS ON
BAKERS TRAIL
Demands That Council Re-Enact
Ordinance Providing for Sale of
Full Pound Loaves.

The North End Taft club proposes
to take hand In the bread situation
in Detroit, as told In The Times
Thursday, by sending to the council
next Tuesday evening, a number oil
resolutions pertaining to the situation
and praying that body to act in the
matter officially and Immediately.
The club adopted these resolutions
Thursday evening, and appointed a
committee consisting OF A. +. Wood
James F. Hill and John II. Laichinger
TO push matters.
The resolution reads:
That the North End Taft club
ask and insistently demands of
the council. that the petition pre-
sented In May, 1910, upon which
a hearing was had In June be-
tween the bakers and petitioners.
relative TO the readoption OF the
old ordinance which provided for
the sale OF bread, only in full one,
two and four-pound loaves, be
taken up and granted, so that peo-
pie cannot further be deceived as
to the prices actually paid per
pound.
The preamble to the resolutions
point out that the loaves OF bread sold
In Detroit have steadily decreased In
weight, although wheat has lowered
In price from 81 40 TO 81 1-S cents per
bushel In the past year. II Is de-
clared that when the common council
passed an amendment to the bread
weight ordinance In 1908. allowing
bakers to reduce the Scent loaf from
% to 20 ounces, and the scent loaf
from 18 to IA ounces, II did so on the
express understanding that when
wheat declined In price, the loaves
should be made at the old weight. At
tention Of the council was drawn last
June to the fact that wheat had de-
and the local bakers. instead
OF resuming the former weight, had
actually lessened II another two
ounces The matter was not acted
upon by the council and got pigeon
ton to force Its consideration.
Bread Is the chief subsistence OF
many thousands Of laboring men and
their families, and the shortage In
the weight, with no corresponding re-
ductior In price Is serious matter
to Them" said A. f. Wood. member
Of the Taft club committee, to The
4 mes. Friday. Our club intends to
take up the fight against what we be-
lieve to be a local bakers combine,
and TO stay in the fight to the finish.
The club has never been anything but
a political organization before, but we
have made up our minds to mix In
civic matters little more and give
our united energy and strength to the
righting Of such wrongs as this bread
situation"

THINKS WITNESS
M0NUMENT ALL|AR
Court Disguised With. Testimony of
Arthur Chambers Against VIM.
Moore, Accused of Crooked
Horse Trades.

William Moore, charged with grand
larceny, In connection with fake horse
deals in company with Arthur Cham
bers. was examined before Police JUS
tice Jeffries, Friday morning, and was
held for trial In the recorders court
under bail of $500.
The examination was the occasion
OF fervid discussion among attor-
neys and sharp rebuke for Attor-
ney Thomas Paine by Justice JEFF
fries.
The court was asking some Ques-
tions of Arthur Chambers, who has
been convicted of a similar charge in
the recorders court and who took the
stand Friday morning against Moore,
his former partner in the horse busi-
ness.
Paine turned TO Attorney James
Murtha, representing Moore, and wills
pered across the table: Who's exam
lining this witness, you or Jeffries ?"
The court happened TO catch the re-
mark.
That's enough from YOU" he said
TO Paine. Il happen TO know about
this case and | propose to ask this
witness any questions | see At and
will not permit of any sotto-voce In
terruptions from counsel"
In deciding the case the court took
occasion To remark that the stand
Chambers has taken Is revolving to
him. Il believe him to be a monu-
mental liar" said the court II do
not say that officially, as | am bound
to believe his story, inasmuch as 1t is
not denied by Witnesses"
The courts disgust was occasioned
by the fact that Chambers took the
witness stand against the man he
says was formerly associated with
him In bilking people by fake horse
deals

BASEBALL And LEGISLATION.

Men desirouS of serving their coun-
try in Congress have long recognized
that even in this land of widely dis
seminated education and general high
standards of intelligence the ability to,
speak we'll before ali audience is a
greater asset to the candidate than a
thorough knowledge of constitutional law
and economics, and that the ability to
make attractive promises is more TO be
desired than the capacity to draft u cur
rency law or devise Il national banking
system. a popular personality goes fur
ther than mere wisdom in a campaign.
In recognition of this fact the PROPOSE
ton has been made in Pittsburg to run.
Hans Wagner, the ball player, for Con-
gress. Mr.. Wagner may possibly have
within him the making of great states
man, but that does not yet appear, and it
is not because of such a possibility that
the suggestion of his candidacy has been
made. He is a successful baseball player,
and the political managers behind the
idea are convinced that there are great
many persons who would vote for him on
his baseball record. without any regard
to his fitness for discussing tariff Iegis-
lation or serving on the Committee on
Sagebrush. This is not very flattering to
the public, in Pittsburg or elsewhere, for
the same principle might be applied in
any one of the larger cities Of the coun-
try with a fair chance of proving sue
cessful.
Mr.. Wagner's modest statement that
he knows more about running for first
base than about running for Congress
will not hurt his chances with the
baseball loving public. and it has not
been observed that he positively de-
clines to accept nomination. Pittsburg
faces the possibility, therefore, of a Con-
gressional campaign conducted in accord
ance with the Spalding handbook, and
under those conditions Mr. Wagner can
probably be depended on to score.
New-York tribune., 1910-01-10

"quiring refined customs. and to carry
"out the divine will with answering
faith"
Not the least interesting contribution
is from Count Nogi, the bero OF Port
Arthur, who says of Bushido: 1T Is the
putting into practice Of to principles
of loyalty. filial piety, upr' 'shtness and
courage" OF course. 1t may be argued
that all this does not enjoin integrity
upon the mercantile classes, who are en-
tirely apart from the military, and that.
indeed, the possession of military and
patriotic virtues and filial piety may not
necessarily make men honest in pecuni-
ary matters, since many Of the most per-
feet knights of medieval chivalry were
also 'robber barons.' That may In
sense be true, yet we should certainly
expect the incubation of the principles
of the 'spirit of Japan" to incline men
toward uprightness in all the relations
of life, and since now the old clan and
class distinctions are largely broken
down and are rapidly vanishing, we
may hope to see the high principles OF
Bushido as surely applied to the activi-
ties of peace and the market place as
to those of war and the battlefield.

years hence, to be compelled to make
another. Considerable modification Of
details there will. of course, have to be
when construction stops and operation
begins, but 1T would seem as IL the SUI
preme form of authority might remain
unchanged.
The pending plan provides for the
abolition or a commission OF several
persons and the substitution of a sin
gle governor or director, who shall have
entire supervision of all the depart
ments of administra tion This plan, we
are tofu, is favored because of the CEN
tralization of authority and responsible
ity which it would effect. We have no
doubt that for that very reason it Will
be unfavorably criticised and opposed
by some who would apply uniform
system of government, Procrustes fash
ion, to all places and to I'll conditions,
but we cannot regard such objections as
well founded. In the direction Of such a
work as the canal, whether in construc-
ton or in operation, single supreme
head is eminently desirable, while in the
government Of such a people as that of
the Canal Zone centralized and some
what autocratic authority is practically
indispensable. The bill which has just
passed the House of Representatives
may not be perfect in every detail. but
in the general principle Of establishing
single head for the isthmian govern
ment it appeals strongly to public ap-
proyal
