 Just before MT. Mahoney started to sum up yesterday he offered in evil dence a letter she had written to O'Shaughnessy containing this para graph:
 Sweetheart, I do want children. at least one. But do not believe that we should adopt one, as we do not know what the future has in store for us. Explain to Mrs .Geyer that, for this reason. we do not want Mar garet
 'This woman has shown you" said MT. Mahoney. "that she is very fami- liar with the teachings of the Church which her family has adopted. She tells you, and has told every one, that she shot George to save his soul. But, gentlemen, if this poor woman had been in her right mind she would not have thought of that. Her church training would have taught her bet ter. Gentlemen, she shot her husband and admits it. She not only told the police so, but she told you so Every thing points to condition of insan- ftv"

Special from United Press ,

Washington, Nov. 29-"The commit tee accomplished it's principal pur- pose" said Chairman Graham. Dem. Ills.), of the House Committee on Ex- penditures of the Interior Department today, following the receipt of a let- ter from Louis D. Brandeis, counsel Controller Bay, Alaska, probe be dis continued.
 That purpose was to ascertain whether valuable public interests in Alaska were being subjected to sym dicate exploitation, condition rend- the Ballinger Investigation contin- ued Graham.
 'The announced Alaskan policy of the administration was that where rights and franchises can be properly granted to encourage investment and railroad construction without con- ferring exclusive privileges, it was good policy to grant them and secre- tary Ballinger's policy in that re- gard has been indorsed and commend- ed by the President.
 "The giving of about two-thirds of the most frontage on Controller Bay to MT. Ryan seemed in line with this policy.
 "The committees action rivets pub- lie attention on Alaskan affairs and it probably was the moving cause of Secretary Fishers visit there. 7 "On his return, in formal address, authorized by the President, he an- nounced views about Alaskan matters which constitute clear departure from the administrations former policy and which are in substantial conformity with the views entertained by the committee.
 eve feel, therefore, that by thus calling attention to the matter we have very materially aided in bring ing about this change of policy.
 'The committee may go further than MT. Fisher and recommend re- taining in the government the title to all the mineral, gas and oil lands in Alaska.
 "The committee thinks it unwise to turn over Alaska's tremendous miner al wealth to great syndicates for ex- ploitation and aggrandizement,- add ing enormously to their wealth and power and thus rendering more acute the dangers which now threaten us from the concentration of wealth"
 Washington Nov. 29-Announcine that the new Alaskan policy of Sec retary of the Interior Fisher, endors- ed by President Taft, marks a ire versal of policy on the Alaskan problem and brings the administra- tion in this respect in accord with the LaFoiiette-Poindexte and Robinson

LOCAL FOOTBALL NOTES.

The Seasides challenge the following teams for game tomorrow morning at Seaside Park: Columbias. Tam manys. South Ends, Edgewoods. The Columplas are preferred because the Seasides feel they were not beaten fairly last Sunday. They claim the referee did not give a decision on the phoney field goal on which the Colum- bias claimed victory. The Seasides say they were outweighed ten or f1f- teen pounds to man, and also that the Columbias used a ringer named McGovern. raw deal was given the Seasides by the Lakeviews, according to the Seaside manager, who says his team was promised a game with the Lakeviews tomorrow morning and was turned down without notice There will be a meeting of the Seasides at Main and Cannon streets tonight. and any manager who wishes a. game is invited to be present.

CONSOLIDATION
RURAL SCHOOLS
Such Will Permit Improvement OF

Jackson, Miss, May 16.-"There
seems to be general movement
among several of the counties in the

rural schools" said Prof. w. H. Smith,
supervisor of this department of the
states educational programme, this

is that of several Jones county schools.
of the unimproved type, which will
probably be consolidated with the
Ovett school, which is being planned
along more modern and progressive
lines"
Prof. Smith will spend most of next
week in Jones county arranging for
this consolidation, which he says will
undoubtedly permit the general i'm
provement of the curriculums, as well
as permit the selection of a better
class of instructors in all depart

it's desires for better school systems,

VAL0REM TAX
RETURNS MADE
Only Seven Counties In State Have
ties on Sherffs Likely.

Jackson, Miss, May 16.-Only seven
counties in Mississippi have failed to
comply with the demands of the law
in the return of their state ad valorem
and privilege taxes for the past year,
according to the records in the office
of State Auditor E. ]. Smith. The
delinquent counties are Harrison, TIA
wan, Neshoba, Lowndes, Scott,
Wayne and Winston, and there is like
ly to be a heavy penalty imposed in
these cases against the sheriffs Of the
counties named.
The law provides that the state and
privilege taxes be paid into the state
treasury on or before May 10th, and
that an assessment equal to 100 per
cent of the tax be levied against the
county in the event this is not full
filled. Inasmuch as this levy, howev-
err, would mean thousands of dollars
in some instances, it is seldom exact
ed, although it is likely that some def
mite action may be taken in the mat
ter this year. Custom heretofore has
permitted the shrievality officials to
make returns up 10 June list, but the
auditors office this year is DESTROYS of
having it's records perfected by that
date and are urging the sheriffs to
prompt action in the matter.
