GLOVER CASE IS
 NEARING THE END

Cambridge. Mass. December 5.--The prosecution's direct case against Hattie Leblanc on trial for the murder of Clar- enae r. Glover will probably be before the jury at the close of tomorrow's ses- sion. No witness has yet testified to sec ing Hattie Leblanc enter or leave the laundry where the shooting is said to have occurred.
 During the seven days of the trial the defense has turned the attention of the jury from the defendant to Mrs. Lillian NJ. Glover, the widow. and the district attorney has several times been obliged 10 protect her against attacks by Melvin M. Johnson, the leading counsel for the defense.
 Mrs. Glover's personal counsel. Samuel D. Fillmore. on the stand today was forced to admit he was paid $4153 by Mrs. Glover Immediately after the murder to defend her against a suit brought by brothers of Glover. He said also that he reatiily de- tected marks on Hattie's hands when she was dragged from her hiding place be- heath a bed in the Glover house. Whether these marks were powder stains he could not say.
 Just before the close of the days ses- sion the district attorney intimated he would produce tomorrow the interpreter who translated Hatties statements to the police after her arrest.

COTTON BROKERS
 AGAIN INDICTED

New York, December 5.-Janes A. Pat ten of Chicago, Eugene Scales of Texa.,, William P. Brown of New Orleans ana others were indicted again today by federal grand jury, charged with con- spiracy to monopolize interstate com merce in available cotton during the last four months of the crop year ending September IS, 1910.
 The indictment was actually returned August 4 last but did not go into effect until it was opened today. The acused with their counsel appeared before Judge Hough in the criminal branch of the United States district court and entered tentative pleas of not guilty. They have until December 13 to demur and argu- ments on the demurrer will be heard on the third Monday in January, 1911.
 The original indictment was found in May last but the defendants objected that the special grand jury which returned il had been improperly drawn and the gov e~nment, fearing the courts might fin rne pea In abatement well taken, decided to re-submit the evidence to another grand jury, which In due course handed down the indictment opened today.
 It contains eight counts instead of five and lessens the number of defendants by two, emitting Sydney J. Harmsn and Charles A. Kittle, yet naming besides Patten, Scales and Brown, Frank B. Hayne and Col. Robert M. Thompson, all of whom were originally indicted.

HEINZE MUST ANSWER
 TO INDICTMENTS

Washington, December 5.-Holding that inc circuit court of the United States for the Southern district of New York had erred, the supreme court of the United States today reversed the lower court and held sufficient various counts of indictments charging F. Augustus Heinze with the misapplication of funds Of the Mercantile National bank of New York city, of which he was president Further proceedings on these counts must now be taken in thel over court.
 Che of the points on which the lower court held the indictments insufficient was that they did not show conversion by the recipient of the proceeds of cer- tain notes discounted.
 Heinze was indicted first In 1909 as pres ident of the Mercantile National bank of New York city on a charge of intent to defraud the bank by causing the bank to discount improperly single name com mer cial paper amounting to about $1, ,500,- Oc0
 Many of the counts were stricken out of the indictment on technical grounds.
 The next year, 1910. Heinze again was indicted on practically the same charges but again the indictment was, found to be faulty in vital counts

LOSE THEIR SHOES
Ohicers as Result Let One Negro Games
 ter Make His Escape

Deputies Chew and Steele had a very amusing experience Sunday night while raiding craps game on Avenue B. The game was in progress on the second floor and it was necessary for the two depu- ties to slip up on the negroes. In order to do this they removed their shoes and placed them on the edge of the side walk.
 raid on the game was then made About 15 negroes were secured and as the officers were preparing to handcuff them to take them to the county jail one wild looking negro made dash for the door. Aunt Mandy" or her double. was stand inf- in the door but this did not deter the fleeing son of Ham. He struck the woman at the rate of an ordinary ex- press train and went over her without noticing it. He dashed down stairs with the deputies close behind. He stumbled over the shoes at the door and to make his escape sure swept both pair into his arms with one motion and continued his flight.
 The deputies were in a plight, but re- fuse to give any explanation as to how they got to the county jail.

NEWS OF TALLADEGA
Land in Large Quantities Is Desired.
 Heavy Rainstorm Falls

Talladega, December 6.-(Special.)- There is much inquiry and demand for land in large bodies, as well as Tor tim bered lands in this county. Several col ones would be established in Talladega corntv if land could be obtained in quantities of 2OO0 and 5000 acres in body, good for agricultural purposes. From $l5 to ssO is the price per acre asked for cleared lands in small bodies.
 William K. Skaggs of Chicago, formerly mayor of Talladega, is in the city. MT. Skaggs predicts that there will be a large emigration to Alabama from the extreme northwest during the coming year of skilled farmers. He claims that the Dutch and Swede farmer is the most desirable citizen for the south.
 Rain fell for 1k hours, beginning Sum- day. and at midnight there was a. dan gerous wind storm, almost cloudburst of rain. Fences and storm sewers were destroyed. There has been no such downpour during the year. The mercury registered IT degrees Saturday morning: ana 5s degrees on Monday morning at the same hour.
 The various pulpits of the city are temporarily vacant. pr. Read, or the Methodist church. is off attending con- ference The Baptist church is without a pastor since the resignation of Dr. Gwaltney and pr, Webb, of the Presby- terian church, is out of the city attend ing to denominational matters.
 Bids will be asked at an early day for another addition to the courthouse. The present vaults are overcrowded With rec ords, and have been so for a long time. IL has become imperative to provide mere room in fireproof vaults for the records that are accommodating.

MRS. EDDY WILL BE
 BURIED IN CHURCH

Boston, December 5.-That the body ot Mary Baker Glover Eddy, founder and head of the Christian Science church, who died Saturday night, will find it's last resting place in the crypt under the altar of the First. or Mother church in Bos- ton is the belief tonight of many of those prominent in the denomination.
 No official intimation to that effect could be obtained, but so far as could be learned no arrangements have been made to take the remains to Mrs. Eddy's birth place at Bow, N. H., or to Concord, N. H., where she so long resided.
 "A woman in high standing in the church circles said today that there was gen. eral understanding among the church at large that the body would rest in the crypt of the mother church.
 When it was known at the time that the new church was built a few years ago that crypt was built in it's founda- tion walls 1t was generally reported that it was for the purpose of eventually hold ing the body of the founder of the Chris tian Science belief.
 Arrangements have been fully com pleted for the funeral on Thursday morn ing at Il o'clock at the late home of the late Mrs Eddy at Chestnut Hill. The services will be simple and the attend ance will be limited to the family, imme- diat,, household of Mrs. Eddy, and the leading offiicals of the Christian Science church.
 Tb,. public will not be admitted and there will be no public viewing of the body.
 Telegrams have been flowing in steadi- lv from all parts of the world seeking yerfflcation of the news of the death or Mrs. Eddy and containing many triputes.
