Only Bribery to BE- Heard
In Gardner Trial.

New York, Feb. 21.-Surprising de
velopments came with the close OF the
prosecutors case against ex-State
Senator Frank J. Gardner in the Grim
ina1 branch of the supreme court.
Specific rulings by Justice seabury re-
stricted the defense to evidence direct
ly concerning the allegation that. Gard
ner offered a bride to Otto G.. Foeiker
to vote as a member Of the state SEN
ate against the Hart-Agnew anti-race
track gambling bills when they were
before the legislature of 1908. He also
ruled against accepting any testimony
by Harry Payne Whitney or City
Chamberlain Hyde concerning the al
legged half million dollar Doodle fund.
The court ruled that the sole ques-
ton is whether Gardner tried to bribe
Foelker and that the indictment on
which he Is being tried does not raise
the question of whether there was q
fund raised to defeat the racing bills,
Justice Seabury said that in order to
keep the trial within proper limits it
was necessary to shut out many col
lateral matters concerning which the
prosecution would have to produce
witnesses TO refute II offered by the
defense.
The ruling shutting out the alleged
Doodle fund testimony came when
Max d. Steuer, counsel for Gardner.
was permitted to introduce several
witnesses before he had outlined his
case on the ground that he had been
surprised by a motion made by As
sistant District Attorney Mott to
amend the Indictment as to the date
specific on which the alleged attempt
to bride Foelker wss made.
The Indictment states that the at
tempt was made On or about April 10
1903, but Mr.. Mott wanted April
substituted for April Is.
stated was based ON Foelker's testi.
mony before the grand jury, and be
thought the witness should have beer
as able at that time to fix the date as
at q later period. "We have prepared

charge that the attempt to bribe was
made On Ge date stated, SAID MIR
Steuer, land now after the prosecu
ton has closed its case and the de
Tense is about to open we are asked Il

Justice Seabury said that he would
grant the motion to amend the indict
ment, but that IL Mr.. Steuer cared t.
ask for an adjournment on the GROUND
of surprise he would grant it. Mr.
Steuer then stated that he would pre-

such trees should be sprayed be-

of the San Jose scale. which has
been disseminated throughout this

make arrangements, either through
their public sprayer, or by securing
a pump for themselves, to properly
apply the lime sulphur wash for the
control of the pest. There are a
number of brands of concentrated
lime sulphur on the market, all of
the standard ones being satisfac-

the rate of one part solution to
nine parts of water. Be sure to
see to it that the work is done
thoroughly, especially the terminal
twigs of the trees.
The State Horticultural law re-
quires that all such cases of infes-

BOY FIGHTS MAN
 OVER TEACHER
Elder One Did Not Hit Back Because
 Younger Was Carrying U. s. Mail.

Alton, H., Dec. 23-A romance with militant features is stirring the quiet little town of Elsah, ten miles above Alton. Nearly everybody in Elsah lives to be a hundred years old or so, and fights are so scare that the encounter between Lawrence Darr and c. J. Legate is still the sole topic of discussion, and interest in 1t is whetted by the fact that it was all about girl.
 Darr, who Is 17 years old, has been studying telegraphy under the tutel- age of Railroad Agent Hicks Miss Zetta Allen is a teacher at the Elsah school.
 On her way to school she would stop at the railroad station ana chat
 wit hthe young telegraph student. Things like that cause gossip in El- sah.
 Legate, who is 40 years old, is not only school director of Elsah, but
 also an organizer of the Mutual Pro- festive morals. He notified the young woman that
 it was subversive of school discipline
 for her to stop and talk to Darr. Friday afternoon Darr was on his way to the postoffice with a sack of
 mail when he met Legate in the main street of Elsah. They quarreled. Darr dropped his mail sack and, according to witnesses. he struck Legate several times.
 Legate says he didn't fight back be- cause Darr was carrying mail and he
 feared to get in trouble with Uncle
 Sam if he resisted For the same req son, he says, he did not have Darr ac.
 rested.
