NOVA sCoTIA's ELECTION.

HALIFAX, N. s., June l4.-The
electors throughout Nova Scotia are
today express ng their political pref
erences and on their verdict depends
the fate of the liberal government,
which, under the leadership of Pre-
mier Murray, has been in office fsr
many years The campaign has been
hotly conteI.ad in all of the eighteen
colstituenci, :. Both sides express
confidence in the outlook, though un.
pic.udiced opinion inclincs to the be-
lief that the liberal government Is
practically certain of five years more
in office. 1t can be truly said thlt
o, tside If extreme partisans nobody
expects the Murray government to be
defeated. This is due to many rea-
=, ms, the mair fact being that since
1857 only one conservative govern
ment has been in power in Nova Sc.,-
tia, and that was twenty-nine years
ago. Four times has Premier Murray
appealed to the people, and four times
has he been returned to power with
overwhelming majorities.
On the other hand, the conservatives
profess confidence that, even if not
defeated, the governments majority
will be reduced very close to the van
ishing point. The conservatives have
attacked the government with gen
eral criticism OF their policies and
with the declaration that it is time
for change.
From broad viewpoint the results
of the election will be of interest rs
indicating Canadian opinion on the
reciprocity pact. 1t is not direct is
sue between the local contestants, yet
there can be no doubt that the pro-
posed agreement, If it is disapproved
in Nova Scotia, will notably diminish
support of the Murray ministry, since
the ministry not only favors the
agreement but procured an assembly
vote of approval for the Laurier min
istry's course in negotiating it. The
present election is the first important
election held since reciprocity came TO
the fore. From it wide and influen-
tial differences will be drawn all over
Canada. If the Murray government Is
notably weakened the result will be
attributed in Ontario, Quebec, and the
west, to Nova Scotian dislike for reci-
procity. A triumph for Mr.. Murray,
on the other hand, will undoubtedly
comfort and reassure all Canadian
friends Of the cause. For this reason
the results of the election are awaited
with unusual interest by politicians
and the public generally all the way
from Charlottetown- to Vancouver Is
land.

YOUNG Man
Denver Boy Resents Taunts Of Com
rnde by kEifing Him

DENVER, June 14.-L. NJ. Hodge,
oged Is years, an office boy in the
ear accountants department Of the
Denver & Rio Grande Railway com
pany in the Equitable building, was
arrested after he had plunged knife
into the breast of David Miller, a
clerk in the same department, during
a fight in the main corridor Of the
building. Miller's wound is serious,
but barring unlocked for complications
he should recover. After being in

his home where he tainted from loss
of blood
Miller is slightly older than Hodge
and said the trouble between them re-
suited from Miller's habit of taunting
Hodge about his position as office
hoy. They met after working hours

SWAT THE FLY.

The ladies' of the Civic club, at their
meeting yesterday, agreed among
themselves that they would none of
them patronize store where the ar
ticles of food were not kept In
strictly clean condition and where flies
were not kept away from the goods
and out of the store. We believe that
the ladies' are on the right course, il
a merchant is not inclined to run
strongly to that virtue which Is said
to be next to Godliness you might read
tracts and essavs on sanitary meth
DDS to him FOR n month without re-
suit but if you attack his pocketbook
he'll sit up and take notice In seven
minutes. Let the good work for clean

A
SURECASf
Prosecution Claim Evidence Against
Ripple Is Complete

While there are no really new de-
velopments in the Cox-Truby case yet
the condition is becoming peculiarly
Interesting on account of the incidents
which promise to follow. Andrew Ru-
pie, the 18-year-old chap who is sup
posed to have shot Cox, is in the coun-
ty jail. He is an orphan who by
some misfortune fell into the hands
OF the Trubys, or their associates, he
has been herding goats for the past
couple of years for Carter, neigh
Dor Of the Trubys' and the father of
Mrs. William TRULY, and it was at a
goat camp belonging to Carter where
the fellow was arrested.
Instead of Martin being the man
who arrested Ripple we learn that it
was Sheriff McCluer and man by
the name of Lines who brought him
in. The report which came to us late
yesterday, just as we were going to
press, was that Martin had done the
work but we learn today that this was
wrong and that to the sheriff and
Lines belongs the credit for the cap
trre. The report came to us by a
party whom we considered perfectly
reliable and whom we now know was
misinformed. 1t is said that Lines
and Martin are built along such SINH
lar lines that anyone not quite ia
miliar with the men might easily mis-
take one for the other, both being
tall, straight-backed fellows of erect
carriage. We are sorry indeed to have
made the mistake but we insist that
the capture Of the fellow was Of vast
ly more Importance than the minor
detail Of who got him. We have per-
sistently praised the work Of the sher-
if in this case and we are glad to
know that he was the party whose
persistence in the chase was rewarded
by the capture of the party, but we
have no apologies TO offer for the mis-
take as we did our best.
The prosecution tell US that they
have dead open and shut case
against Ruple, his stories and the sto-
ries told by Sam TRULY, vary in al
most every vital point. Sam TRULY
is now out on bond Of $4,000. The
bond is signed by Mrs. TRULY, the
mother, and Joe Smith, who qualified
as possessing half section of land
clear Of Indebtedness, also three others
whose names we have yet been una
Bile to ascertain, who are said to live
down in the Trouble Mesa district
We are told that no Durango man
signed the bond.

CAN'T QUIT
FIGHTING
In Spite of Peace Insurrecto Army Is
Held In Field

CHIHUAHUA, Mexico, June IA
Mexico's military comedy is contin-
ued here today. Four thousand fed
eral troops commanded, by three gen
erals, are patrolling the streets de-
termined that the victorious insurruc-
to army, under General Orozco, shall
not enter the city. Orozco's force ex-
tends north along the railroad for
thirty miles with headquarters at
Sauz.
The insurrectos make no effort ia
conceal their anger They say that
while reports come to them of ban
quets being served in the city of Mex
leo, they are, in spite of peace, being
kept in the field ON short war ra-
tions.
An incident of the strained relations
between the two armies occurred to-
day when federal lieutenant who
shouted, viva Reyes" was shot and
killed by an insurrecto who had snug
gled himself into the town.
While wonder is being expressed
that the City of Mexico does not
promptly straighten out the tangle
Governor Gonzales anticipates no Sc
rious consequences. He says in time
the federal troops will evacuate and
the insurrectos be allowed to enter
Chihuahua.

Aged MilliOnaire's Wife Planned to
Send Him to Insane Asylum

Los ANGELES, June 14.-R. b.
Davis, an aged manufacturer of bak-
ing powder and a reputed multimil-
lionaire, in his suit for divorce against
Jennie Davis, twenty Yeas his junior,
told the story how he planned and
made his escape from their residence
i'll Riverside drive, New York, in Sep
tember, 1908, after he had brought
himself to believe his wife's intention
was TO have him incarcerated in an
insane asylum. Mr.. Davis said that
having been told by his nurses that
any notes written by him would not
be delivered to the persons for whom
they were intended he wrote let
ter to a friend, Henry Harney, and
threw it out of the window to a pass
erby who mailed it for him. In this
letter he told Mr.. Harney what he be-
lieved to be the purpose of his wife
and arranged way to have re-
volver and clothing conveyed to him
9nd set an hour for an automobile To
call for him. Mr.. Harney complied
with his requests and having left the
house in accordance with his plan, Mr.
Davis said he went to the bank where
he had $65,OO0 on deposit and had a
certified check for $4,000 issued To
him so as to be provided with funds in
the event of any effort to tie up his
property.
Although 68 years Of age and fee
BILE, Mr.. Davis was on the stand the
entire day. The court, while permit
ting testimony TO be taken, is holding
under advisement the question as tt
whether the plaintiff is legal resi-
dent Of California. The court also re
fused to permit the question Of tn,
sanity Of the plaintiff to be mad,
! an issus In the ease.

OLYMPIC ON MAIDEN TRIP TO
NEW YORK.

SOUTHAMPTON, June IA. -
Amidst loud cheers from a large as.
semblage, that re-echoing across the
water must have been an enthusiastic
bon voyage" the leviathan White
Star liner Olympic, Captain Smith, R.
N. R., sailed out from this port to-
day on her maiden voyage to New
York. The event was notable one
and thousands of persons assembled
to witness the departure.
The Olympic, which is triumph of
marine architecture, sailed gracefully
out of the harbor, carrying COM
plement of passengers, 1900, besides
crew of eighty officers and seamen,
thirty-six engineers, 800 men in the
engine room and stokehold, chief
cook and forty assistants and innu-
merable other employees.
The Olympic is unapproached not
only in size but in the matter of lux
urious appointments. In every respect
the big ship is a floating hotel. Dane
ing rooms, smoking rooms, cafes,
library and even gardens are among
the features of the big vessel. There
are cool avenue of Oriental palms,
beds of roses and carnations, and ar
bors skilfully contrived by expert gar
deners. Among other interesting in
rovations are swimming bath, suffi-
GENTLY deep for diving, and skating
rink.
The suites of cabins are in their
design and fittings equal to the rooms
IF the finest hotels in Europe. There
ere many dining rooms, the principal
one of which is deliberately decorated
and seats no fewer than six hun
dred. Those who wish to take their
meals on deck can do so at "ve-
landah cafe" situated on one of the
upper decks fifty feet above the level
cf the water.
Another novelty is grillroom. The
cabin suggests an old English chop
house, with high-backed stalls of an
cient oak, and broad-low tables. 1t
will be possible, at any hour of the
day or night, for passenger to use
the grillroom. The palm garden is
still another refuge. for those who
weary of the confines of the ship dur
ing the passage.

IN PRODUCTION OF
MICA IN THE u. S.

The total value Of the mica produced
in the United States in 1910, accord
ing to an advance chapter from Min
eral Resources Of the United States.
1910" by Douglas b. Sterrett, just
issued by the United States geologI-
cal survey, amounted to $337, ,O97, ex-
ceeding by $56,56S the value of the
production in 1909, and was greater
than in any other year except 1907,
when it amounted to 2,476, 100 pounds,
valued at $2S3,S32, an increase of
666,60S pounds in quality and of $49,-
$50 in value, as compared with the
output of 1909. The production of
scrap mica amounted to 4,065 tons,
valued at S53,265, decrease of TWEEN
ty-five tons in quantity and an in
crease of $7,12S in value, as COM
pared with 1909.
The production came from seven
states-North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, South Dakota, New Hampshire,
Colorado, New Mexico and Massachu-
setts-named in the order of the value
of their output.
Mica in both sheet and ground form
is used in large quantities. Sheet
mica is used for gas-lamp chimneys,
for lamp shades, and for glazing and
is punched into disks and washers or
cut by either hand or power
into patterns for use in stoves and
electrical apparatus. The electrical
industry consumes by far the great
est part of the sheet mica produced.
The mica serves as perfect insulator
in dynamos, motors, induction appa-
ratus, switehboards, etc.
A large quantity of scrap mica
that is, mica too small to be cut into
sheets and the waste from the manu-
facture of sheet mica-is ground and
used in many ways. Among these are
the manufacture of wall papers, lu-
bricants, and fancy paints and of
nodded mica for electrical insulation.
Ground mica applied to wall papers
gives them silvery luster. When
mixed with grease or oils finely
ground mica forms an excellent lubri-
cant for axles and other bearings.
Mixed with shellac or special compo-
sitions, ground mica is nodded into
forms and used in trolley wire and
other insulators. Coarsely ground or
"bran" mica is used to coat the sur
face of composition roofing material
to prevent the tar or other compo-
sition used in its manufacture from
sticking when the material is rolled
for shipping. t-Ss
Mica occurs in rough crystals and
blocks, which range in size from a
small fraction of an inch to several
feet across. A crystal found in the
Iotla bridge kaolin and mica mine in
Macon county, N. c., in 1907, meas
ured about 90 by 36 inches across and
was four feet thick. The rough blocks
as obtained from the mines generally
yield only small percentage of trim
med sheet mica. 10 per cent being a
very high yield, the rest of the prod
uct is suitable only for grinding.
A copy Of Mr.. Sterrett's report may
be obtained ON application to the di-
rector of the geological survey at
Washington, d. c.

Hines Lumber Company Said to Have
Paid for Lorimer Election

CHICAGO, June 1.-THE reported
drawing of checks for 100000 by the
Edward Hines Lumber company, in
favor of the pro o-Lorimer morning pa
per in Chicago will be one Of the new
phases in the Lorimer scandal.
The serving of set of subpoenaes
upon the editor Of the newspaper in
question, a man whose name has not
before been brought officially into the
Lorimer mess, gives line of the SEN
ate committees probable action. This
service also made public the fact that
the Helm committee was searching
for evidence in this same check trans
action when the committees life was
cut short by the decision of Judge
Petit in the Edward Iilden habeas
corpus case. The committee was un-
able to pursue the matter to the end
but found way Of communicating the
basic facts to the United States SEN
ate committee.
The checks made by the Edward
Hines Lumber company, aggregating
100000, were paid to the Chicago
pro-Lorimer newspaper shortly before
the election of Senator Lorimer at
Springfield. The Helm committee OF
investigators were unable TO find the
bank account of the newspaper in
question that showed 100000 had
ever been deposited or otherwise cred
tied to the newspaper. In considering
this matter the Helm committee found
significant connection between the
100000 which Hines told C.. S. Funk
the manager Of the international Har.
vester company, had been raised in 9
bury to elect Lorimer, and the $780,
600 supposed to have been checked
to the newspaper.
