BOOTHS BODY WAS

Was Statement Of the Late
Gen. Tom ECkeFt
New York Tribune.D

James CIendenin Eckert, the elder
/ son of the late Gen. Thomas 7. Eek
ert, former president Of the Western
Union Telegraph Company, who is con
/ testing his fathers will which left
him small part of the estate, SEEM
ed to make great progress in the sur
Irogate's court, where the second week
of the trial was begun before surro-
gate Cohalan.
Mr.. Eckert claimed that his father
was not of sound mind when he
made his will in August, 1910, two
months before his death, and that ne
was influenced in his distribution Of
his estate, which was prejudicial 20
the elder son, by Thomas T. Eckert,
Jr, and his secretary, Richard G.
Page, Jr. The witness was Thomas
Reilly, a nurse, who attended the gen
eral in his last illness at Elberon,
\. J., and who before that case had
acted as nurse to Russell Sage.
Gen. Eckert was assistant secretary
of war when President Lincoln was
killed and was said to be the last man
that knew positively what became of
the body of John Wilkes Booth, the
assassin of the martyr president There
was also a report that magazine had
| offered Gen. Eckert an extravagant
price for the story of his connection
with the affair Reilly related what
Gen. Eckert had told him of the dis
position of the body of Booth.
The nurse was telling on the stand
about the generals memory.
His memory was very bad" said
Reilly. I'VE used to talk over the war
telegraph corps and his activities in
the civil war He told the same hap
penings one way one day and another
the next I supplied the missing
names of battles, generals and places
f! He would go over the details of the
capture Of Booth. l told him / didar
believe there was man alive who
saw him buried, and he told me where
he was buried
Reilly said Gen Eckert recognized
the body Of Booth by splints around
a broken limb, and also by his pictures.
I Reilly cold tbo+ of+or Con U7ol-o,,t
hal told him the body of Booth had
been buried and the supposed place
of burial, he told him on another occa-
ton of taking Booths body out on
Delaware bay with three other men
and throwing it into the bay. Gem
eral Eckert said he was the last of
the four men to survive who took part
in the secret task.

ANNUAL REPORT OF
 ATTORNEY GENERAL
 SENT TO CONGRESS
CONTINUED FROM PAGE D


 discovery of extensive irregularities and in some cases actual dishonesty in offices of clerks of the United States courts. No effective reform. he declares, can be ac- complshed until the power of removing the clerks is taken from the judges and lodged in the President and the clerks paid a specific sum, instead by the fees system.
 Declaring that many of the jails where federal prisoners are confined are wholly unsuitable for the detention of human be- ings and are shocking breeding places of crime" the Attorney General recom- mends the appointment of a commission to inquire into the conditions. This com mission also would consider the general treatment of juvenile and first offenders. The Attorney General also recommends that the federal government be given the right to bring an action against an ln- dividual or corporation in any part of the country without restriction as to the place of residence of the individual or the home state of the corporation.
 The Attorney General also recommends a general immunity statute, numerous laws for Alaska and civil service retire. ment law.

JURY STRIKE IS
 STILL UNBROKEN

St. Louis, December 14.-A jury "strike" in Judge Withrows' court in which the 12 men who since Tuesday have refused to return a verdict for the defendant in the McDermott will case, as directed by the court because they believe such finding to be wrong, remained unbroken tonight.
 In the case Mrs. Mary Harrington sued Father White, eXecutor of the estate of her mother Mrs. Bridget McDermott alleging undue influence on the priests part in the preparation of the mothers will, which cut off Mrs. Harrington with $1. In her testimony Tuesday Mrs. Harrington was unable to give specific words or acts show ing undue influence and other witnesses were unable to give positive testimony about such acts or words. Judge With rows directed a verdict for the defend- ant Thereupon the jurors said they would stand on their rights as Amer ican citizens"
 In private talks at their homes the jurors who are defying Judge With rows, have declared their resistance is due in a measure to their desire to protest against a system which permits judges to direct jurors to return cer- tain verdictS

DECIDES AGAINST
 STORAGE CLAUSE

Oklahoma City, December 4.-Citizens of Oklahoma may keep more than quart of whisky or other intoxicating liquor in their places of business if they choose and they may sequester more than gall lon of it in their residences, according to an opinion handed down today in the court of criminal appeals by Judge Arm strong.
 That portion of the Oklahoma prohibit ton law which limits the amount of liquor citizens may have in their posses sion at one time was at issue. The court held that it violates the fourteenth amendment to the federal constitution, which provides that no state shall pass any measure which deprives any citi- zen of the United States of property without due process of law. The Okla homa statute made the mere possession of more than the stipulated amount of intoxicants proof of guilt.

WEEVIL TO
 ARGENTINE ANT

Auburn, December 14.-Dr. w. F.. Hinds, state entomologist, has issued a state ment in which he takes issue with Father Albert Revier, Jesuit priest and scientist of New Orleans who declared that by experiments he has found that the Ar genuine ant will kill boil weevis.
 "Of the two pests the boil weevil is preferable" says pr. Hinds. The Ar genuine ant will kill babies, lodging on their faces and about their eyes and pro- ducing agony which brings on convul- sions. There is but one way to keep the ant out of your house and that is to dig a trench around the house and keep it filled with running water. The weevil is the lesser of the two evils. There Is no short cut to the extermination of the boil weevil"

COLORED PREACHER
 HANGED AT JACKSON.

Jackson, Ga, December 14--Will Tur. ner. a negro preacher was hanged In Kings opera house here today for killing Jesse Singley near Indian Springs, Ga, August 26. The hang ing was to have taken place in the jail yard but fear of a large crowd which might attempt race trouble caused the change in plans. Only few newspaper men and officers and rela- tives of the man were present
 Singley, a young white man, was ambushed after trying to settle some trouble between hotel bell boys in which Turner's two sons were impli- cated.
 Race trouble was narrowly averted at that time.

DE SELVES DEFENDS
 RECENT AGREEMENT
France Makes Her COntri- button to the German
 British Debate

Paris, December 14.-The German, British, Russian and Spanish ambas- sadors were present in the chamber of deputies this afternon when Foreign Minister De Selves delivered Frances contribution to the German British de- bate and made some additions to the revelations concerning the Moroccan crisis.
 NJ De Selves said that Germany at the outset of the crisis had asserted that she would not accept and abide Ry conference as means of settling the Moroccan situation.
 The discussion followed an interpel- lation by the Count De Nun and other conservatives who wish to postpone ratification of the France German ac- cord until negotiations with Spain are considered. Count De Nun condemned the sacrifice to a rival power of part of a French colony equalling in extent two-thirds of France and conquered by the spflling of French blood. The world, he said had not seen Europe in more menacing condition.
 M. De Selves admitted that there had been a moment of tension due to the excessive demands of Germany. Rea- sonable negotiations ensued upon this and NJ De Selves denied that Germany had become irritable and tried to start a conflict.
 M. De Selves then defended the Franco-German accord saying that the world realized that France had emerged from the negotiations far from beinS worsted "However," he continued, the chief advantage of the agreemnt Is that it frees foreign politics from the Moroccan question which has been permanent source of conflict. In con- clusion he said that the negotiations with Spain had been taken up in friendly spirit.
 Count De Nuns motion was defeated, 44S to gS
