NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-Society was
startled Sunday afternoon by Talbot
Smith Hanan, a son of John Henry
Hanan, who entertained 100 guests at
musical tea" at the beautiful Ha-
nan home at 1918 Fifth ave-, with
unique program Of music and dane
ing.
The Feature" of the program which
furnished the new thrill for society
was native dance given by Dog
mena, young Filipino girl.
Dogmena danced in her bare feet
and in true native costume.
Some of the guests appeared a bit
surprised when Baroness Won Groois,
under whose chaperonage Dogmena
danced, introduced her to the fashion
able audience of young men and wo-
men, but, as the little brown girl
danced, spear in hand, sometimes
getting dangerously near the admir-
ing guests, the latter forgot all about
her scant costume and wildly applaud
ed.
The dancers costume consisted on
ly of chocolate colored trunks, a
broad, striped, red sash and several
long strands Of native pink and white
beads.
The native dance represents q head
hunting scene, by the typical savage
tribes in the islands, and Dogmena
furnished the climax to the dance
when she fell fainting to the floor.
The guests were relieved when in
formed Immediately afterwards that
this was a part of the dance.

said Mrs. Rhodes could not have seen
him coming from Cedar Hill on that
particular Sunday, for he had not been
there.
On the contrary he said that he had
been stopping at house three miles
from Ignacio on Thursday and Fri
day preceding the shooting and that
he stopped at the Wayt hotel in Ig-
nacio on Saturday night. He said he
left the hotel on Sunday morning and
rode toward the Florida river, that he
crossed the Lower Florida and came
up on the mesa about half past one or
two O'Clock on Sunday afternoon, and
that he had only riden two or three
hundred yards over the mesa when
he saw William TRULY riding rapidly
toward him.
He said TRULY hailed him and he
stopped, expecting trouble.
He said that Will TRULY called him
foul names and in an angry voice de-
manded why he, Cox, did not let him
know that he had leased certain lands.
Cox replied that he did not have
time to tell him and that he was un-
der no obligation to tell him anyway
and just about that time Sam TRULY
rode up to them. He said Sam asked
him to trade horses, and that he told
Sam that he did not want to. trade,
and that he was going to keep his
horse to get away on, at the same
time turning to ride away. He said
that the Truby's rode rapidly after
him, Will on his left, and Sam on
his right, and after they had pursued
him two or three hundred yards he
warned them that he would kill them
both if they did not let him alone.
He said they would not desist how
ever, and that they kept chasing him
and reaching out for him, and that he
thought it was their intention to drag
him from his horse, knock him in the
head with a rock and throw his body
in the river.
Acting under that belief he said he
drew his revolver and fired at William
TRULY, who was reaching for him on
the left and then instantly turning he
commenced to fire at Sam, who was
riding at his right.
He said he did not see Will only
for an instant when he fired at him,
and he did not see him fall.
He said he was too busy shooting
at Sam and trying to get away from
him to notice anything else, and he
said that as soon as Sam went away
he started for Durango to give him
self up.
He said as his horse was nearly
played out, he stopped at John Fra
gioni, across the Animas to get pro-
lection, while he waited for a train
at Bondad switch, but that he soon
saw Sam coming toward him with a
gun, SO he decided not to wait. He
said Sam fired at him four times as
he was riding away.
Cox is now being cross-examined by
the attorneys for the state.

WHY NOT CHICKEN HATCHERY

Advocates of government owner
ship of railroads and municipal own
ership of street cars, telephones and
barber shops should now go way back
and sit down. Milo hastings, grad
uate of the Kansas Agricultural col
lege, has gone all of them one better.
He is advocating municipal owner
ship or community ownership of a
million-egg incubator. He would
make this mammoth machine public
hatchery. 1t could be owned by a
community or by individuals. A small
charge for exchanging an egg for a
chick would make the profits.
Economy, says Mr.. Hastings, is the
advantage of so large an incubator.
The difference in cost of construction
between large incubator and enough
small ones to hatch million chick
ems is nearly $195,000. Then the cost
of operation would be about one
twentieth that of operating all the
small incubators. This estimate is
based upon 1lgures Dy Nf. hastings,
who built and operated 15,000-egg
machine on the poultry farm of Walt
er B. Davis in New York.
More chickens, and healthier ones,
could be Matched for this reason. The
Undertaking would be so large that
the employment of an expert who
could give his whole time to the work
would be justified
~ But where get the million eggs?
: They could be furnished by the sur
rounding neighborhood, says Mr..
Hastings. 1t is asserted that farmers
would not ship their eggs to cold
storage if they could be exchanged
for chicks.

FROM ueSuay DalIy.
Attorney johnson cross-examined
Ike Cox until ten o'clock this morn
ing, and Cox told the story of his past
relations with the TRULY boys and the
events leading up to the time he shot
Will in practically the same way he
told it on direct examination.
At the time the shooting occurred
he said Will TRULY was riding swift
ly at his side and reaching for him,
with the evident intention of pulling
him off his horse, and at the same
time it became necessary for him to
pull his horse into road where Tru-
by was riding in order to avoid the
heavy sage brush that was imped-
ing his own horse.
Attorney johnson asked him how it
happened that TRULY could not reach
him when he pulled his horse toward
TRULY, and Cox answered that he sue
ceeded in escaping from Truby's
clutch by leaning far over in his sad
die, and at the same time drawing
his revolver and shoot at him.
Yesterday on his direct examination
Cox said that when he shot at Bill he
had to instantly turn and shoot at Sam
who was reaching for him on the 9TH
er side, and that he did not see Will
at any time after he shot at him. He
said that little while afterwards he
started for town to give himself up to
the sheriff, and as it did not appear
how he had come to know that his
shot had instantly killed Truby it was
not very clear why he wanted to give
himself up, so this morning his attor-
ney, B. B. Russell, asked him some
more questions about the matter. He

\ The COX CASE
From MONDAYS Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
This morning the state put two
more witnesses on the stand in Cox
case, and then District Attorney Lane
announced that the states side of
the case was closed.
Mr.. William Craig was one of the
witnesses and he testified that on the
morning of April %, which was the
day William Truby was killed, he
sold Ike Cox a box of cartridges,
from his store at Cedar Hill.
Mrs. Clara Rhodes, the other wit
ness, testified that about noon on the
same day she saw Ike Cox riding
from Cedar Hill toward the place
where Will TRULY was killed.
The defendant Ike Cox, was the
first witness called by the attorneys
for the defense, and as we go to press,
his direct examination has been con-
cluded, and Attorney Chas. A. john
son is cross-examining him.
In Cox's direct examination he
told the jury that for the last five
Gears he has had more or less trouble
with the TRULY boys and that they had
often threatened to kill him. He said
the trouble arose over the use of the
range. The Trubys claimed the right
to use the range for their cattle and
Cox claimed the right to use it for
his sheep. He told the story about the
fist fight he had with William TRULY
on the Sunday before he shot him, and
what he had done and where he had
been during the week which proceed
ed the killing.
He denied that he had bought any
cartridges from Mr. Craig, and he

still maintained that he did not see
| Will TRULY after he shot at him, but
he said that before leaving the neigh
borhood, he saw a riderless horse,
which he recognized as the one which
TRULY was riding.
The next witness called by the de-
Tense was Ernest Shaw, supervisor
OF the U. S. Forest rangers.
He testified that the request ot the
attorneys for the defense he had gone
to the scene of the killing TWO days
after it occurred and surveyed ,he

Truby's body was found.
lie lset an instrument called a
Kauffer and Esser to make the sur
vey and measurements and after
wards he made map of the tracks,
and for over two hours he was ex-
planning them to the jury.
His evidence, was afterwards, cor
roborated by Dick Martin and Guy
Tefts, who assisted him in the work,
and the jurymen paid close attention
to the map which was spread out on
rack before them and the explana-
tions which the witnesses gave of
the horse tracks, which were shown
on it.
According to these witnesses, the
tracks showed that the horses ridden
by Ike Cox and Sam TRULY had bro
ken from trot into run about 100
yards from the place where Will Tru-
by was shot, and this tended to con-
firm Cox's story that he was being
pursued by the TRULY boys when he
shot Will.
On cross-examination the attorneys
for the state tried to get Witnesses
Shaw, Martin and Tefts to admit that
there was a good deal Of uncertainty
about the tracks and how and wien
they were made, = the horse lacks
as interpreted by the witnesses con-
tradicted Sam Truby's testimony,
which was to the effect that he and
Will were riding toward home at a
moderate gait, not expecting any
trouble when, suddenly and without
warning Cox opened fire on them.
Mrs. Ethel Graves was the next wit
ness called and she testified that on
Monday morning, April II, she tele-
rhoned the sherills office at the re-
quest of Deputy Sheriff Scase, of the
fight Cox had had with the Trubys.
The state attorneys made motion
that her evidence be stricken from the
record as being irrelevant and imma-
terial but the attorneys for the de-
tense argued that it tended to prove
that Cox was trying to avoid trouble,
and the motion was overruiej by the
court.
L. NJ. Wayt, the hotel keeper at Ig-
nacio, was the next witness called and
he testified that Ike Cox had stayed
at his hotel the night before the
shooting occurred.
On cross-examination he was asked
if Cox had registered, and he said that
hardly any of the guests at his hotel
ever registered.
His evidence contradicts the testi-
mony given by VIM. Chaig and Mrs.
Rhodes that on the day of the shoot
ing Cox came from Cedar Hill.

predictions in case they prevail and

confession on last Friday.
Job Hartman, Socialist and for

On the other side is the good gov

The startling end Of the Mcnamara
trial has thrown everything into

the astounding confessions, by the
brothers, has left the voters in a
daze and the outcome of the ballot
