ARE NOT
 LEAST DISTURBED

London, December 22--British own CTS of ships apparently are not at all disturbed by President Tafts sugges- tion contained in his message he sent to Congress yesterday in connection with tolls to be charged for passing through the Panama canal. Outside from the coastal trade from which they are already barred the British ships will continue to carry the trade of the United States even if American ships are allowed to canal free of tolls with American registration. The reason for the optimism, is they explained, that 1t costs 60 or 70 per cent more to build ships in America and 40 per cent more to operate them than in the United Kingdom.

DIETZ AND WITNESS CLASH
Former U. s. Marshal and Defend
ant Get Close to Blows Point
IS Scored for Prisoner.

Hayward.-The cross examination
Of former Deputy United States Mar
shall A. Jonas of Madison furnished
a dramatic tinge to the Dietz trial.
The attacks of the prisoner upon the
testimony of the officer became SO
heated that at one time Sheriff Clark
moved within the circle fearing that
the horny listed defender would re-
sort to personal violence.
Jonas, who was a deputy United
States marshal in 1905, was placed
upon the stand to testify to his eff
forts to serve civil papers upon Dietz
and his wife. He stated that he
reached the cabin, but that Dietz pre-
vented him serving the papers by
drawing a revolver and then set up
on him and beat him badly, driving
him away. Both Dietz and his wife
Joined in the cross examination. but
their efforts were not to contradict
his testimony. but rather to boast
of their action,
Dietz scored point for himself
when, in cross examination, he
elected from Deputy Fred Van AL
styne the admission that the witness
was shooting in the direction of
Oscar Harp, the slain deputy.
The state struck the defense tell
ing blow with its best card. The
prosecution offered proof that the
bullet found in Harp's body was Of
the Winchester company make. The
letter 'W" is imprinted on the lead.
The Dietz ammunition was of Win
chester make, according to the prose-
cution. Not a Winchester bullet was
fired by the deputies.

ing instantly.
Unger was paying attention to the
Nelson girl. When the Nelson woman

Unger began quarreling with the
Racine man, who was an entire
stranger to the other three In the
party.
Suddenly, with an oath, Vance
drew two revolvers and began firing
at Unger as fast as he could pull the
trigger. AS Unger fell with a bullet
through the right chest, the Nelson
woman threw. her body between
Vance and his victim and was shot,
dying almost instantly The Gilmore
woman tried to escape, but Vance,
crazed by the sight of his other two
victims, fired at her also, and she
iall dying as he turned his revolver
upon his own body, ending his own
life.
