OPENLY ACCUSED.
Mrs. Glover Pointed Out as MUIR
derer of Her Husband
By Hattie LIE Blanc's Attorney
in His Argument.

Cambridge, Dec. 13.-With the end of
the case almost in sight, the fourteenth
day of the trial of Hattie LIE Blanc for
the murder of Clarence f. Glover OPEN
ed with a great crowd endeavoring to
obtain admission to the court room.
Mr.. Johnson expected to finish his
plea before luncheon adjournment In
his open remarks yesterday Mr.. john
son devoted the principal part of his
efforts in support of his claim that the
defendant was an innocent child
brought from her home in Cape Breton
by Mrs Glover for immoral purposes.
The attorney made Mrs. Glover the
target for his bitterest invective.
The shooting of Glover was taken up
by ATTORNEY Johnson, who said Glover
was shot previous to -8:45 p. m. Mrs.
Glover was seen coming from the
laundry at BAT, he declared, and he re-
ferred to the witnesses who testified
that they saw her. He declared that
Mrs. Glover knew there was girl
with Glover in the laundry, that she
knew she could shoot him without get
ting herself into trouble and that she
did shoot him.
'tYOu noticed" said Mr. johnson
that the district attorney did not brina
Mrs. Glover before the witnesses who
testified they saw a woman cOmine
out of the alley He did not even bring
her before Coffey, the clerk who sold
the revolver. Why? The government!
did not dare to show Mrs. Glover Ii
these witnesses.
Hattie" continued the lawyer, "tol6
the story in. the police station that Mrs
Glover had contrived for her. Mrs
Glover's master mind controlled her."
Regarding the motive, Mr.. johnson
said Hattie had none. On the othe.
hand, Mrs. Glover, he said, had E
motive in removing a man who ha6
taken her money to buy the laundry
| and would not return it and who hal
made a will which would not give he,
control
| When Mr.. Johnson closed Distric
Attorney Higgins began the argumen
| for the prosecution.

DEBT OF CITIES.
It Is Nearly One-Half of the Assessed
Valuation.

Washington, Dec. 13.-Placing the
combined public debt of the larger cit
les of the country at $1,213,O8O, 1000,
the census bureau finds it is secured
by the aggregate property owned by
the same cities valued at $2,738, 1885,
900. The figures are for 1908 and
cover all of the 1853 cities having a
population of over 10000, except
New York, Detroit and East st. Louis.
OF especial interest is the ratio be-
tween debt incurred for water supply
systems and the reported valuation of
such systems. The valuation reported
for 1908 was $780, 100000 and the
debt outstanding 12,0O0,00O. or 45.2
per cent of the valuation.
The report shows also that from
taxes. licenses and public service priv
ileges of public service corporations,
Chicago received $4,506,516, or more
than three times the amount reported
from any other city.

The Artist and His Work.

The great artists, like the great he
roes, have always done whatever came
to hand. Michelangelo grumbled and
said he was a sculptor when julius
II. set him to paint, but he paint
ed the roof Of the Sistine chapel.
Shakespeare chafed at the popularity
of the fool in the drama of his time
and then produced the fool in Lear"
If either of them had waited for per-
feet conditions and an inspiration I'M
trammeled by circumstances he would
have done nothing. They produced
masterpieces because they made the
best Of things as they were. And this
is the business Of the artist in life

VALLEY CROPS ARE
IN need Of rain

Grand Forks, N. D., June 17.-Dan-
ger of too early maturement, mean
ing short straw and difficulty in har-
vesting, threatens the crop in the
Red River valley unless there is an
immediate fall of rain. The condi-
ton has reached a point where it is
now critical and each day that comes
without rain means damage to the
grain. -
The grain is now only few inches
high, but is in blade, while some bar
lev that has been in the ground long
enough to have reached maturity I'M
der ordinary conditions, is heading
out, although standing but four or
five inches above the ground. 1t has
been about seventy days since the
barley in question was sown.

many other farmers, Mr.. Schilling
says the problem of farm help is be-
coming serious and farmers are not
doing any more to enlarge their herds
than is absolutely necessary. In
stead they are driving more horses in
each team, buying larger machinery
and doing their own work. Farmers
that a few years ago had large herds
of cattle have reduced them until
conditions are improved and labor
can be secured upon more reasonable
terms. All of which may be advanced
as an argument showing the unusual
prosperity of the farmers of the state.
Labor at $40 month is hard to Sc
cure and competent labor is exceed
ingly scarce at any price.
