PROMINENT MAN ON TRIAL FOR LIFE Rev. w. D. Mcfarland An swers to Charge, of Mur-
 dering Secretary. FRIENDS ARE LOYAL Morbid Curiosity Brings Large Crowd
 to the Pittsburgh Court
 Room,
FRIENDS ARE LOYAL

Pittsburgh, Pa, March 14.-Occupy- ing a position far different from that to which he was accustomed in the pulpit or on the teacher rostrum, Rev. w. D. Mcfarland, a widely known di- vine of the United Presbyterian church an dprominent in educational circles. was called for trial today On the charge of having performed an operation which resulted in the death of his former secretary, Miss Elsie T,cdd Coe.
 Mcfarland pleads not guilty. The court room was crowded with min isters of the United Presbyterian church who have contributed to their fellow clergyman friends fund and we'll known educators, formerly asso- ciated with the defendant when he was principal of the Pittsburgh High School. Many others were attracted by morbid curiosity and anxiety to hear the narrowing details of how Else Coe died trying to hide her shame and the part the minister play ed in the tragedy.
 The feature of the day was the ba1- tie waged for an admission of the dy- ing deposition of Miss Coe, which fi- nally was admitted and the testimony of Lillian Coe.
 It was indicated by the defense that it will endeaver to prove that Mcfarland was only ministerins angel, who appeared after Miss iCoe herself had performed the fatal op- eratiOn.

NEGRO SUSPECT IS RELEASED

Ely Brown, the negro who was ar rested Wednesday by Patrolman Tom Meeks as d suspect who is wanted at Clarendon for the murder of a. deputy sheriff in January, was released from the city jail yesterday after Sheriff I. 5. Brown, of Monroe county, came to the city and said that Brown was not the negro who killed his deputy. Brown answered the general descrip- tion of the negro wanted and Patrol man Meeks arrested him at the Union Station. It was the general opinien of the officers that Brown was the negro wanted but the arrival of the Monroe county sheriff immediately dispelled this belief

Hillsville, Virginia, March 14- "The Aliens are coming!'
 Through the streets of this little village, numbering only about 300 people and situased on the border of the wild Virginia mountains, the word passed in low, omnibus whis- pers this morning.
 Two mountaineers, Jack a,:d Sid ney Allen, had galloped into ,he

Massie was shot to death on she bench of the Carroll county court house, Commonwearth Attorney Will 1 liam Foster lay against the rostum, dying with bullet through his head, Sheriff Webb was dead in the middle of the room, Juror Douglas had fallen in a heap to the floor of the jury. box, while DaXJer Good, clerk of the court, and Floyd Allen, the prisoners on trial was Wrlthlng at opposite ends of the little stuffy hall.

Love w. Suffrage.

Mrs. Cora Harrie, a novelist
thinks the clamor of American
women for the. ballot is chiefly
due to the TACT that American
men do not take time to make
love to the women. Conse
quently the women try to show
their Indifference by becoming
progressive and militant.
In other words, Mrs. Harris
believes that when women get
the ballot they must take it
in lieu of masculine love. She
does not anticipate any clamor
for votes on the part of women
who are basking in the love OF
some devoted man.
Pique makes women progress
sive in the United States, in
the opinion of Mrs. Harris, che
80 expressed her opinion in
New York-and set some of the
nation's suffrage leaders aflame
with the statement.
The United States and Eng.
land have more advanced wo.
men than other countries. Mrs
Harris explains that by the
fact that English and American
men are absorbed by political
and business cares. Conse.
quently many of them .neve,
take the time nor the trouble
to fall in love and to marry. Ir
retaliation the womea "throv
things end get in tantrums

Mrs. Harris believes that any
woman will sacrifice her owr
rights and the rights of her un,
born grandchildren to pose a.
the ideal of a devoted man. II

10. Hat ls In tho Rim.

Colonel Roosevelt is a recep.
tive candidate for the Republi-
can nomination for the presi.
dency at the Chicago conven.
ton in June. No other con.
struction can be placed upon
his address before the Ohio
Constitutional conve n i o n
commenting upon which later
he declared "My hat is in the
ring" Formal reply is promis.
ed by Colonel Roosevelt to the
eight governors who asked him
to become the candidate of the
Progressives, and it is certain
that his answer will be that
while he is not a candidate he
will accept the nomination il
rendered to him.
1t is worth while, with the
fight fairly outlining between
President Taft and Colonel
Roosevelt, to note that the
Colonel has a very keen appre.
citation of the conditions in his
party today. The Chicago Post
recentlv published a abatement
which it asserted had been
prepared by Colonel Roosevelt
himself, and it has not been
denied, in which the forme,

the entire situation, says:
