DEFENSE CEASES TODAY IN HATTIE
 LIE BLANC TRIAL
Witness Called Who Point Murder Suspicion. in
 Other Directions
Especial from United Press. ,

Cambridge, Dec. 10.-What was ex. Dected to be the last day of the in- troduction of testimony in the trial of Hattie Le Blanc, 17 year old girl charged with the murder of Clarence F. Glover. began, today, in the East Cambridge court.
 Isaac Walker, an aged car starter, stated that he was not working the night of the shooting and that, about 8:45, he walked up the street. He saw a man and woman, whose pecu- liar actions induced him to follow them. They got upon car and ne followed. The woman entered the car in a breathless, excited manner. There was little conversation between them and later they got out, the man and the woman on the other. The old man said he followed them an } near Central street she met the man and they hurried away together. He said he heard, "Oh, MT. Elmore-'' but here he was stopped, on objec- said, hurried down Central street where the woman turned to the right and went into a field and dis appeared behind fence. Later he saw her again and eventually he fol- lowed her to a driveway where ne lost the trd1I TOT good. He was told later that the driveway where sine disappeared led to the Glover house
 Hattie Le Blanc was then brought before him and he was asked If she was the woman he saw. The vener- able Sherlock Holmes shook his Ions, white beard and replied: "She was |, woman, not a child,'
 Under cross-eXamination, Walk CT furnished the court much amuae- ment. He pounded the rail until the bench shook and declared he knew none of the conductors and motcr- men by name, knew none of the po- lice and had told all he knew of his first and only effort as a detective under direct examination.
 Asked his age Walker answered "I was born at four o'clock in the morning, June list, 1S45. You can figure it up for yourself, Mir Hig- gins But I want you to figure It u~" 'Well I make it about 65," he drawled.
 G. M Young. deputy sheriff for Middlesex County, testified that he had been given a summons for Tobey Le Blanc, Hattie's brother. but thus far had been unable to find him.
 Attorney Johnson then announced that the defense would rest and a brief recess was taken until noon.

Dec. 10-The- steamer Arkadia. of the New York and Porto Rico line. is either laundering in the ocean somewhere south of Atlanta, far from the track of naviga ion. or has gone to the bottom with her four pas sengers and complement of 37. If still anoat 1t is, feared those on board are suffering from both hunger and thirst. The agents here. however. are certain the craft has gone to the bottom and she is posted on the maritime exchange as missing This latter action means that hope that she is still af1oat has been abandoned there.
 Richard T. Ringley. agent of the line here. said today tha. there was only one chance in thousand that the yes sel was still af1oat. She sailed from New Orleans Oct. II for San Juan, and since that date has not been heard from.

 \ Chicago, Dec 1O-Admitting that the railroads, in the past, may have done wrong but claiming that if they have they have learned their lesson, Paul Morton head of the Equitable Life made an appeal, today, for public sympathy for corporations.
 My observation has been that if corporations ask or receive more than they ought to receive" sad Morton. their benefit is only temporary and they have to pay dearly in the long run for the spec. al privileges. Because railroads in the past may have done wrong in special cases does not jus tify the public doing wrong to them now.
 "As between the people and the corporations. I believe the relations should be mutual. The corporations are entitled to no more than fair treatment and if they get that they ought to .- satisfied. I am an op- timist in regard to the ultimate bus mess outlook and believe that all questions will sooner or later be ad- iusted on a basis which will be mu- tually satisfactory to all.''

 Taking the population of the Philippines by the census of 1903 which was 7,635,426 and adding the estimates for the islands of Guam and Samoa, and the Canal Zone, a grand total for the populati ton of the United States and possessions is giv- tn as 101.1O0,000.
 ''The United States, with specified dependencies" is understood by the census bureau to include Alaska Hawaii, Porto Rico and military and naval persons possessions abroad, but not any others.
 ''The military and naval popula- tion' of the United States, which ten years ago was 91,219, includes the sailors and soldiers on duty in tha Philippines, Hawaii, Alaska and oth- CT stations. but not stationed in the United States proper The fact that many more men were on duty in the islands following the Spanish American war than now accounts for the decrease since 1900.

 London. Dec. 10--Wich only TIT out of 670 constituencies still to vote in the general parliamentary election. the intensity of the struggle is indicated by the fact that at present the Con- servatives and Liberal-Laborite fac tions have exactly the same number of seats from the same constituencies in the last election. In the 493 seats so far decided. the result is known in all but three. and is as follows:
 Conservative, PA; Liberal-Laborite POS; Nationalist. 55. and Inde. pendent Nationalist. 6. Leaving out of account the Independent National ists or O'Brienites the Coali jon num- bers 263. or a majority over the oppo- sition party of 39. How the OBrien- ites will eventually line up is still problematical.
 The constituencies yet to vote are not expected to effect any material change in the standing of the parties from the last parliament.
