Mrs. Sclenck.

Wheeling, W. Va, Jan.-Mrs. Laura
Farnsworth Schenck's attorneys de-
clared emphatically early today that
the woman accused of poisoning her
rich husband is not near collapse.
Reports OF threatened serious break
down we're the result of Mrs. Schenck' S
illness, which stopped her trial tenn
porarily late yesterday.
Mrs. Schenck passed comfortable
night.
Her attorneys declare Mrs. Schenck
will testify in her own behalf. Attor-
ney O'Brien said she might be placed
on the stand late today.
| The announcements by Mrs. Schenck' 5
attorneys that they will summon every
doctor and druggist in Wheeling TO
prove Mrs. Schenck did not buy arsenic
was ridiculed by Prosecutor Handlan
today.
Handlan is expected to complete his
direct evidence some time today.
THE defense has sensational wit
ness" Attorney O'Brien declared.
There will be developments of start
ling nature. We shall lose no time in
getting 10 the bottom OF things"
Mrs. Schenk came into court this
morning. There was no hint OF col
lapse in the cheerful smile she gave her
attorneys.
II am feeling much hctter," she
said. 1t was the sitting atmosphere
that made me little faint yesterday"
Lundy Wilson, who testified to Mrs.
Schenk's Joy rides with Dan Phillips,
was recalled. Handlan asked him why
he did not tell Schcnk OF Mrs. Schenk 5
alleged infidelity.
1T was none OF my business, the
chauffeur answered. He wouldn't
have believed me, anyway" The de'
Tense did not question him.
Alma ]. Evans, the regular nurse,
recalled, declared that when the sick
packer was told of his wife's arrest he
sprang UP in bed and began to cry bit
terly. He cried every day, witness
said.
Prosecutor Handlan threw a surprise
when he announced that with the cX
cepLion of recalling two minor witnesse:
the state was prepared to rest. Counse
for Mrs. Schenck said they would no
be ready to begin their testimony.tak
ing until late today or Friday. We
have at least 200 witnesses, Attorney
Boyce said. Most of these will be
local doctors and druggists, by whom
we will prove our client did not buy
any arsenic. We expect to complete oul
direct evidence within three days"
Handlan has one important bit Of evi
dence yet to be produced-that pur
porting to show where and when the
prisoner obtained arsenic.

ly that he will not retire from the race
for United States senator and the
twenty-one democratic insurgents
declaring with equal positiveress that
they will: not vote for him it appears
today are that long drawn out fight
will result.
1t is the purpose OF Mr.. Murphy OF
Tammany Hall to play waiting game
and tire out his opponents as we'll as
the republican members. He figures
that he can hold the 90 votes for Shee-
han and iu a weeks time the repubi-
can members will become Disguised
with the procedure and remain away
until choice is made. AS only q
majority of those present is required to
make tho choice, Sheehan is in an ad-
vantageous position.
Judge Parker has taken up the fight
for Sheehan but it is doubtful If he can
swing the seven votes which we're cast
against him.
The insurgents ordinarily arc willing
to take his advice but not in this case,
and that they do not propose to have
their votes smothered in Tammany

Albany, n. y, Jan. 19.-The
voting trust agreement entered into
by J. p. Morgan and his trustees,
whereby the equitable stock formerly
owned by James Hazcu. Hyde is ad-
minislercd, was made public By State
Superintendent OF Insurance Ho!ch-
kiss. The agreement is 4 duplicate of
the original agreement which was
executed by Thomas T. Ryan to former
President Grover Cleveland; Morgan
J. O'Brien. and George Westinghouse
when Ryan bought the stock from
Hyde following the revelations OF how
the equitable was managed, with the
exception that whereas the Ryan agree
ment was for term Of five years with
privilege OF renewal, The new one Is
subject to cancellation at any time by
Morgan. Morgan ]. O'B:ien, George
w. Perkins and Lewis Cass Ledyard
are named rs the new trustees.
In his letter enclosing the, agree
ment, Morgan wrote the insurance
commissioner as follows: You will
not that it places us in such petition
that when some determination can nc
reached in the interests OF the policy
holders, and which is satisfactory to
your department, it can be entered
into effect without unnecessary delay.
This means that the naturalization OF
the equitable is to take place as soon
as plan can be agreed between the
trustees, the directors of the Equitable
ahd the State Insurance Department.

ALEX ANDRIA, VA.
THURSDAY EVENING. JAN. 10

On THE 18th day OF last October
Robert e. Lee had been dead forty
wears. When tho announcement OF
his decease reached Alexandria q sable
mantle fell over the city and every
evidence OF sincere. sorrow was mani
tested. All classes of the community
We'd in showing respect to the mem
ory OF the great Virginian. Sermons
extolling the genius and virtues OF
the deceased were delivered in Chris
tain churches as we'll as in the syna-
goeue, synopses OF which were printed
in the Gazette at the time. In Christ
Church, where General Lee was often.
seen, tho rector, Rev. Randolph II.
McKim, took FOX his text the sugges-
tive words, My father, my father,
the chariot OF Israel and the horsemen
thereof" From that time Alexandra
has annually observed the anniversary
of the birth OF Robert E. Lee, as it
has done today. In a recent essay
on Doctor Samuel Johnson the writer
says: 1--WE may talk about him and
praise him, because we shall be the
better for so doing; but we shall GER
tainly say nothing new about him. "
The same may be truly said when any
one attempts at this late day to say
ANYTHING original concerning Robert
f. Lee. Great men have appeared
in all nations at different times in tho
worlds history but in none of them
has greater risen than the sub
iect OF this notice This is admitted
by those Of all nations whose opinions
are worth seeking. Visitors to Paris
who have stood over the sarcophagus
of NAPOLEON in the Hotel des Invalldes
have had many things concerning the
great Frenchman other than his mill
tary genuine to enter their minds.
One of the larger universal histories
represents julius Cesar surveying the
mummyfed remains Of Alexander
the Great. The. Macedonian had died
in debauch but a short distance be-
yond the threshold Of manhood, while
the Roman was drawing closer and
closer to the ideas OF March with visions
of q kingdom floating before his am
bilious brain. Both OF these worth
les possessed remarkable genius as
we'll as many. frailties. The person
who gazes upon therecumbent statue
of Robert T. Lee at Lexington will
have no "reminiscences concerning the
illustrious Virginian save his ge-
MUS, morality and gentlcncss repre-
duced in his mind. He remained
with his followers to the end, and his
farewell address is couched in Ian
guage Which produces emotion in
breasts now as it did at Appomatox.
Lee would not have left his followers
:: prey to Mamelukes nor to perish
in Russian SHOWS. He shared their
misfortunes and hardships from first to
last.
