stated, but he may do so later. Yester-

He then proceeded to ChengChow, on
the Pehan railway, where he conferred
with a deputation from the Roman
assembly, endeavoring to dissuade the
delegates from the proposed declara.
tion of the PROVINCES independence,
which he said would damage the
thrones position seriously.
The fact that the man on whom the
government depends more than any
one else is coming to Peking has
caused a general feeling of relief and
of hope that he will evolve plans to
end the present chaos. It is under
stood that the court will remain in
the forbidden city, realizing that their
departure now would be fatal. 1t I.

LINKING EMPIRE

Winnipeg Will Be Given Sta

London. Nov 13.-An early an.
nouncement may he expected that ne
gotiations have been concluded be-
tween the postmaster general and the
Marcont company for the erection Of a
chain of wireless telegraph stations
round the world, linking up all the
British dominions and giving Great
Britain an independent system of tele-
graphic communication with any part
Of the globe.
So rapid has been the progress of
wireless telegraphy during the past
few months that the Marconi Wireless
sidered their financial resources equal
to their business requirements, passed
resolution recently to increase their
capital by a quarter of a million sterl-
Ing in order to cope with the recent
extraordinary developments. The
Marcont company have already in
stallations in practically every civil
tied country, Russia is at the present
moment engaged upon a vast scheme
for the development Of her communi-
cation routes, and has decided to adopt
the Marconi system for her army,
navy and postoflce.
Winnipeg May Be Link.
.:. But the most striking development
and one that is Of the greatest Inn
.portance to ourselves-is the scheme
for linking up the empire. At present

REARREST WIFE
Woman Taken Twenty Minutes After
Former Suitor is Freed.

Amite City. La. Nov. 1s.-within
twenty minutes after jury brought
in a verdict acquitting L. NJ. Jenkins
Of the murder of Elias Norwood, Mrs.
Norwood. widow Of the slain man, was
rearrested. charged with the crime
jenkins is well known young planter
Of this section. Mrs. Norwood had
been his sweetheart before her mar
riage.
Mrs. Norwood previously had been
arrested as an accomplice in the
turning states evidence. At the trial,
which began three days ago. the de-
fense introduced several witnesses to
prove conclusivcly that the young man
was in Natalbany. some miles dis
tant. on the night OF the crime, and
that he could not possibly have come
here and gone back in the time that
ELAPSED between his arrival in Natal
bany and the transaction Of business
concerned. and In which Jenkins was
shown not to have left the room.
Consideration for the woman he
formerly loved is said to have sealed
Jenkins lips. and he did not take the
stand. The witnesses who established
the alibi came to court voluntarily and
demanded that they be heard.
The womans motive for the alleged
murder is though to have been jeal-
ousy. A strong chain of circumstantial
evidence was fastened about her at the
time, but when she accused Jenkins,
saving she was present when he fred
the fatal shot. a possible motive in his
case was SO plain that her statement
was accepted. and she was released.
District Attorney McLndon says he
is confident OF a conviction in the light
OF the new evidence. He also asserts
that he will not call jenkins as a wit
ness.

TWO HUNDRED
YEAR OLD CASE
Disputed Boundary Between
West Virginia and Mary
land Nearly Settled

Washington. Nov. 13-Deciding in
favor Of West Virginia on nearly ev.
cry point, the commission appointed
by the United States supreme court in
1907 to settle the century old contro-
versy between Maryland and West Vir.
ginia over the boundary between the
two states. has just finished its work.
A strip containing thirty-six square
miles of valuable land and the citizen
ship Of several thousand people was in
dispute. The report is now before the
supreme court for final action.
II the supreme court approves the
Of persons who have been voting and
paying taxes in Maryland for years will
become citizens of West Virginia. Wig
orous protests against such action have
been filed along with the commission's s
report. No date has been set for the
handing down Of the decision. but 1t
is expected soon.
Samuel 81 Gannett. Of the United
States geological survey, who was ap-
pointed the arbitrator commissioner
by the court. and Julius X. Monroe. the
report. W. McCulloch Brown. the
Maryland commissioner. however. has
filed minority opinion in which he
protests against any persons who are
now citizens Of Maryland being trans
ferred into West Virginia.
Question 200 Years Old
For more than 200 years the qucs-
ton has periodically occupied the le-
gal departments of Maryland and West
Virginia or Maryland and Virginia,
Because of the disputes innumerable

,rty. tax bills and many other ques.

tions.
In one form or another the contro-
versy has been raging since the origi-
nal grants to Maryland and Virginia In
1863. The matter never was settled.
because neither state would recognize
the claims Of the other and the ques-
tfon never before was taken to a pow
er high enough to act as arbitrator.
The entire question has hinged on
the three Latin words lad priman fon-
tenn" which translated. mean. the
first waters" The connection of this
phrase with the boundary suit is in
regard to the early descriptions of the
boundaries between Maryland and Vir-
ginia, In which 1t is set forth that the
Potomac river, from its headwaters
to its mouth, should mark the SOUTH
western boundary of Maryland.
Near Its source the Potomac river
branches and there lodges the seat of
dispute. One Of these branches is a
long narrow stream over into land
claimed by West Virginia, while the
other is short, broad stream which
the West Virginians have claimed
should be the boundary of the states.
Claim of Maryland
The question was which of the two
streams is the first waters Of the
Potomac. Maryland has claimed that
the long. narrow stream is the head
water of the river. while the West Vir-
ginians were equally steadfast in the
contention that the short, broad
stream was meant.
In 1907 the supreme court decided
that the short stream should be con-
sidered as the headwater for the
purpose of fixing the boundary line.
The reason advanced for this decision
was the fact that the stream generally
had haon raUor1nH thu hoodWntor
for so long that this idea could not be
changed.
At the headwater of the southern
branch are three small springs and at
this point Is located the "Fairfax
stone." The supreme court directed
that the boundary between the states
should start at this point and thence
pass in a northernly direction follow
ing as nearly as possible the "Deakin''
line of Pennsylvania. 1t appointed a
commission for the purpose of deter
mining where this old line should run.
Starting with little but half-forgot-
ten land marks, country traditions, old
surveys, and vague maps. the members
Of the commission worked steadily dur
ing the last two summers to trace
the old line. Many portions have been
marked simply by barking trees and
the commissioners were forced to
count the rings on trees, determine
their age and then look for traces of
these marks.
Old Line Followed
1t was found that the line did not
run directly north. 1t passes near the
towns Of Hutton, Md. Corinth, w. Va,
and Evansville. w. Va. Its southern
point is about a mile from Fairfax sta
ton and its northern extremity is In

oerstand. however, that It has already
been decided that the first chain Of
stations. which will extend outwards
to New Zealand. will be as fallows:

Although the homeward route has
not yet been definitely determined. II

be adopted as wireless station on

It is also suggested that there should

Tho only hope for those aboard is
in the bravery of The United States
life saving crews from Cape Disap-
pointment and Point Adams station.
These men patrolled the beach all
night watching for the steamer to go
to pieces or to drift close enough to
the shore to let them shoot the life
lines over her. Two tug boats left
the shore early today for the scene
but their captain had little hope that
they would be able to get close
enough to the stranded vessel to at
ford aid.
