Mr. Bouscman had been spending

lawn in front of his residence. With
out word of warning at about 10
O'Clock the dynamite bomb was thrown
by someone passing along the street.
1t landed in the hammock at his feet.
and in an instant exploded. Bouse-
mans feet were torn away by the
bursting shell, and his legs frightiully
mutilated. In great agony he died an
hour later
Although the town authorities made
every effort to discover the assassin.
no clue could be found. and it is be-
lieved he escaped without being seen
by any one The news quickly spread
about town and excitement grew to
high pitch.
AS mayor of Ridgeway Mr. Bouse-
man presided over the police court of
the town trying petty cases. 1t Isl
thought that some person upon whom
Bouseman in his court had passed
sentence Of punishment held a grudge
against him and had been awaiting an
opportunity to wreak vengeance on
him. The opportunity came as Bosse-
man lay sleeping in the open air.
The terrific report attracted many

OF expert engineers in Chicago,

more-a corpse Of fifteen or twenty
high-grade men who spent two or
three months working on its devel-
opment The result is that, across
Chesapeake Bay, there IS the best
submarine cable in the world-a
cable which makes telephone con-
versation from Baltimore to Cape
Charles or other peninsular points
to a conservation over
a land line fifty miles shorter than
by way Of the former route. The
of laying this cable was
excessive. AT tseveral points, special

appliances, being very delicate, had

SUB MARINE CABLE LAID.
An Unusual Engineering Feat Just
Completed, BY Which Telephone
Conversations Between Baltimore
and Eastern Shore will be
Improved.

II has long been the hope of the
telephone engineer to successfully
construct a cable which would sat
isfactorily carry telephone messages
for a great distance. While "open
wires-tdat is, those pairs of ofeXposed
wires strung on pole--trausmit the
message satisfactorily they become
bulky when used it, large numbers
and are easily placed ont of service
during sleet storms
Until ten wears ago. or so, cables
were used only in cities and large
towrs, and even there their Il e re-
suited in electrical difficulties which
greatly lessened the advantages Of.
enclosing the wires in cables With
the best known apparatus and high
est engineering skill it was possible
to transmit conversations success /
fully through not more than twenty
miles of cable This fact confined I.
underground services within the I
borders Of cites and to short dis
tauce out-of-town runs Long .
distance conversations were carried I
around these cities rather than
through their underground cables,
in order to avoid the weakened
transmission which would have re-
suited.
NEW PROCESS DISCOVERED.
However. about ten wears aoO
there was invented a process by
which It was made possible to use
telephone cables over long dis
tances. This invention was revolu-
tionary in its effect on telephone
work, and the Bell Telephone Com
pany, through this invention has
been able to extend underground
cables from New York to Philadel-
phia, from Philadelphia to Will
mington and between other large
cities The Bell Telephone Com
pany, with its well known aggres-
siveuess and wisdom, saw the i'm
portauce Of this invention and used !
every effort in its power to develop
it into a commercial practice, and,
having done so, to give the benefit
Of 1t to its subscribers. As a result
of this, stornproof service over long
distances has been extended into
areas where, fifteen years ago, such
service would have been out of the
question ,
Prior to this year, 1910, this b
method was never used on sub t
marine cable. Such cables, for t
.elephone work, could be used only Z
ior short distances and then at a /
great detriment to the service. At
empts have been made abroad to
ise this method Of improving tele-
,hone cables-a small cable Of this :
ort has just been laid across the u

IN FAVOR OF

Are Decisions in Trial of Hattie Le-

accusation by the defendants couna

widow, had the motive, inclination and
opportunity to shoot her husband
were the developments in the case
Wednesday. Mrs. Glover is a cousin
of the defendant.
District Attorney Higgins fought
hard to get before the jury Glover's
dying declaration that Hattie Lee
Blanc had shot him. Judge Bond
overruled him, however, saying, after
hearing II witnesses, that the evi-
dence did not show that Glover know
his end was near. The District At
torney told the Court the "dying dec
laration' was one of the essential
props Of the Governments case, and
that only circumstantial evidence REL
NAMED. So, a.. 't ~
The prosecution had not gone far
when it found that the defense was
seeking to turn the attack to Mrs
Glover.

torney Johnson, for the defense, ''by

man before and after her husbands

Vending paid court while she was
visiting relatives at Houston. Texas.
Mrs. Munea testified that Vending
