TO TRY ALLEGED SPIES.
English Army Officers Face Trial on
Serious Charge at Leipsic.

Leipsic. Dec. 10.-The trial of the
two English officers, Captain Il. +.
Trench of the Royal Marines and
Lieutenant V. II. Prandon of the Royal
Navy, who We're arrested at Borkum
as supposed spies, will take place here
the coming week 1t is expected to
be one of the most interesting inter-
national trials that has taken place in
a long time, but the newspaper state
ments that the trial is fraught with
the gravest possibilities for the peace
OF Europe are not taken seriously here.
The charge against the two officers
is that OF trespassing for the purpose
of espionage, and attempting to con-
vey military secrets to a foreign
Power. The trial will not be conduct
ed in secret and the accused will be
given fair play in the fullest sense of
the term. They will be defended by
DIR. Won Gordon, a prominent interna-
tional lawyer of Berlin. and DIR. Hans
Otto of this city. Permission will be
given the British Government TO be
represented at the trial which viii
take place under the civil law before
seven judges. 1t is the general belief
here that If the two officers are con-
victed the sentence will be light.

ITALIAN MINERS
ENTER CORNWALL
ADVlcES RECEIVED INDICATE
THAT A LARGE NUMBER
HAVE TAKEN UP THEIR
RESIDENCE THERE.

Is the Italian 10 enter the Cornish
mining arena? asks one of the papers
published in the little district which
probably has furnished more exper-
fenced mine workers i'm proportion to
It's size than any other section i'm the
world. For long while il has been
urged at the meetings of adventurous
in Levant Mine, st. Just, that the in
terests of the property suffered con-
sideraby from an insufficient supply
of labor. Quite recently the share
holders discussed the problem, and the
conclusion arrived at was that local
resources were not likely to meet the
want, at all events for time 1t was
commended that the revival of other
mining enterprises i'm the neighbor-
hood had drained the labor market of
the st. Just district. Certain speakers
advanced the suggestion that if no
other solution of the difficulty pre-
scented itself Levant should seriously
consider the importation of foreign
miners-Italians or Poles.
A large number of Italian miners
have already taken up their residences
in Cornwall according to papers pub
lished i'm that district and have found
ers have found conditions TO their lik-
ing and it is stated that others will
follow them. The prediction that
Cornwall, once one of the most excl
sive mining districts in the world, may
soon become thoroughly cosmopolitan
is freely made by those who are fam
iliar with the situation.
The Cornish miners of the copper
country are deeply interested in the
situation and many of them admit
that other mining camps, many of
which are in this country, have drained
that district of most of it's experienced
men and that it will be necessary for
the mine operators to import foreign
labor or close down.
1t is interesting to note that most OF
the miners who have recently taken up
their residences in Cornwall come
from Germany. Industrial conditions
in that country do not seem to be MS
favorable as they are i'm Great Britain
at the present time which probably
accounts for the heavy influx from
that country. Few Of the new arri-
walls are Germans however.

This cost King $500 #
"In the Columbus game hst spring
the Chicago players interfered with
the umpire and we had to protect the
minor organization from this sort of
work. The same reason holds good i'm
the Ottumwa case, where men played
under the names of Evers and Hof-
man and with the knowledge of the
Chicago club.
Throughout all these cases we have
been fair and impartial, just as we
have been in all other cases."

SHE HAD 1901 PROPOSALS
Young Seattle Widow, a Telephone
Operator, to Marry the Last One
to Declare.

Seattle.-New York may have its
herd of 1S5 loves in the person of one
Roscoe II. Sanborn but Seattle has q
real merry widow with 1,001 proposals
to her credit. The one thousand and
first man is the lucky one and the
wedding will occur shortly.
The merry widow is Mrs. Rila May
Dixie, a phone operator. 1t is ques-
tionable II Mrs. Dixie ever saw more
than a scant halfdozen of the1,O01
suitors. But that did not detract
from the ardor of their love epistles.
They wrote from the north, the south,
the east and the west.
Mrs. Dixie was formerly an Iowa
girl-Ottumwa being her home. Three
years ago she married and with her
husband went to South Dakota. He
was killed in a wreck and Mrs. Dixie
bravely faced the world and took up
a claim.
She called her place "Ottumwa," and
it is still known by that name in
South Dakota.

In 1908, Mrs. Dixie was awarded the
prize for being the prettiest young

off with her rugged South Dakota ex.
