Der of spectators who may secure
daily entrance to the court room, IA;
number of experts who will be called
as witnesses, AIS.
Those who oppose the acceptance
of a silver tray bearing the figure Of
Brigham Young and the Mormon tenn
pie at Salt Lake City, made for the
battleship Utah, had another tray
manufactured with the Mormon pic
lures omitted and now offer 1t to the
secretary Of the navy as a substitute.
Mrs. Erna Won owen, chairman of the
committee opposed to the acceptance
of the Mormon tray, went to Wash
ington Wednesday in the interest OF
the movement, and made public letter
sent to Secretary Meyer. In this let
ter the committee says: I'VE beg OF
you to bear in mind that while the
presentation of the silver service to
the battleship Utah may be state
affair, the acceptance Of 1t is ma
tional affair; that the United States
battleship Utah does not belong to
the state of Utah but to the United
States" The proposed substitute tray
is facsimile of the original Mormon
design, except that in place of Brig
ham Young and the Mormon temple
it bears the figure of a woman typi-
flying Utah.
Mexico City, Oct. IL: Determined
to know just why the Mexican gov
ernment paid Gustavo Madero,
brother Of the president-elect, 642,195
pesos, and what it has cost to muster
out the revolutionary forces, the
chamber of deputies tonight called
upon President de la Barra for an ac-
counting. At other times the cham
ber has availed itself of its right to
interpolate a CABINET officer and on one
occasion Senor de Ia Barra. the head
of the foreign office, but this Is the
first time in the history Of the coun-
try that the deputies have claimed the
right to issue q citation for the prest>
dent. The deputies were discussing
the new electoral law when a/deputy
from the state Of Vera Cruz asked and
received permission to Introduce his
measure. 1t was adopted 80 to so. At
the time the money was paid Gus
tayo MadePo several months ago it
was explained that it was to reim-
bufse him for expenditures made for
Sth9 cause OF the revolution. 1t appears
that his claim was not submitted to
the commission appointed to consider
such bills.
- Tripoli, October 10: The Turks
apparently do not intend to abandon
Tripoli to the Italians without fur
ther determined resistance. For sew
eral days bands of horsemen have
been accommodating in the vicinity OF
the italian posts. At 1 o'clock this
morning a force of about 5000 Turks
with field guns was discovered ad-
vancing in two columns, with the evil
dent intention of recapturing the
town. A large body of natives march
ed with the troops and presented
formidable array. The Italian COM
mander, however, had an intimation
that such an attempt would probably
be made and the Turks were met with
a heavy artillery and rifle fire, to
which they replied with equal energy.
1t was moonlight, and the fleet turned
the search lights on the contending
forces. When the engagement was at
its height the battleships and cruisers
Joined in with their smaller batteries,
directing the shells to cover the Ital-
ian front and flank. For more than
an hour the firing on shore was con-
tinued, but about 2 o'clock it slack
ened and finally ceased. The Turks
retired in good order, although it is
reported they suffered heavy loss. The
Italian casualties were slight. The
fleet pursued the retreating Turks
with a heavy shell fire until o'clock.
That circumstantial evidence
sometimes causes innocent persons to
suffer for the crimes of others was
proved at New Roads, La, last Mon
day. by the arrest of William Brown
on the charge of killing George Han
som, a pressman of that city, four
years ago. following what was thought
to be at the time a death-bed confess
sion. Following the killing, Henry
High, an electrician, was arrested, as
he and Hanson had both been show
ering attention upon the woman at
whose home the killing took place, and
he was seen in the neighborhood on
the night of the crime. At Highs first
trial the jury disagreed. High was
later convicted of manslaughter and
sentenced to ten years. The supreme
court held he was entitled to new
trial, but the court officials, after he
had spent several months in Jail,
turned him out and his case never
came up again. High missed a ver-
dict Of capital punishment by one
vote in the jury box, the obstinate
juror holding out for manslaughter.
Sheriff Brown on Monday received
letter from the state penitentiary,
where Brown had been a guard. Brown
had fallen i'll, and thinking he was
about to die, confessed that he killed
Hanson because of a girl in the
neighborhood. Brown said he was
glad High had escaped punishment.
He is expected to recover, in which
case he will be tried for the killing.
Washington, October 10: An or
der for the recOnsidering of the per-
picking questions: What is beer?"
What is vinegar and What is
soft drink" was passed this after
noon by the board of food and drug
inspection, at a meeting held in the
office of Dr. Harvey w. Wiley, chief
of the bureau of chemistry and chair
man of the board These three pure
food problems have been under con-
sideration for nearly two years, but
members of the board have been una
BILE to agree. The retirement of So
licitor George P. McCabe and the tenn
'porary absence of DR.. +. l.. Dunlap
from the board, leaves DR.. Wiley and
DR.. r. f. Doolittle, the new member,
prepared to take immediate action to
settle the long-Standing controversies.
Vinegar will be the first subject con-
sidered by the board. Long hearings
were recently held on the subject of
pure beer: and hearings have been
had on both the vinegar and soft
drinks Investigations. 1t is the con-
tention of DIR. Wiley that pure vinegar
should be made only from cider, and
that vinegars made from malt, sugar,
molasses, wine and other ingredients
should not be branded as pure vine
gar. It is understood that DR.. Doo-
little, who is the vinegar expert" Of
the department of agriculture, holds
a similar view, and that the board of
food and drug inspection is likely to
make a ruling soon in line with DR..
Wiley's views. There will be no more
hearings on any of the three subjects.
DR.. Wiley stated today that hearings
and Investigations have been sutti-
ciently thorough to develop all ma
terial facts and that it remains only
for the board to examine the evidence
and make it's rulings. This has been
