numbers awaiting their summons and
things went with a rush but towards
the close of the inquest as the list of
witnesses narrowed down, the waits

came more lengthy and proceedings
dragged considerably. About 100 peo-
pie were called before the jury.

Grand Jury Being IN Session, No Rec

After an extended session Of nearly
four days duration. the coroner's jury
investigating the deaths OF Frank H.
Kellogg of Davenport and Raymond
Swingle of Rock Island, the two VIC

Shortly before o'clock, the last
of the witnesses had been examined
and the case turned over to the Jury.
About two hours later the jury had
agreed upon a verdict, but the coroner
had left the court house, and il was
necessary 20 return and announce
their findings about o'clock. There
was considerable discussion among the
jurors as 10 the advisability of hold
ing any particular person or persons
responsible for the death OF the two
riot victims, and II is understood that
one of the Jurors almost created a
scene, in an impassioned plea urging
that responsibility be fixed.

London, Sept. 30.-The Duchess of
Roxburghe, formerly May Goelet, has
scored big social success by getting
King George and Queen Mary to Wis
it the Roxburghe family seat in Scot
land, Floors Castle, for it has long
been known that the queen does not
like Americans.
Floors Castle is generally full of
them but of course all those whom
the court officials might consider ''un-
desirables'' had to be cleared out be-
fore the royal party accepted the in
vitation. The duchess has to thank
her husband for his prowess with a
gun, for the privilege of entertain
ing royalty. A splendid shot himself
King George will not tolerate pow
der-wasters when he is out shooting,
and it was the Duke of Roxburgh's
fine shooting that earned him the
royal invitation to Abbeystead, which
gave his wife the opportunity of
proffering their hospitality in re-
turn.

Salem, Mass, Sept. 30.-The wide
ly discussed case of Joseph J. Ettor
and Arturo Giovannitti, the Indus
trial Workers of the World leaders
in whose behalf William D. Haywood
recently proposed a nationwide
strike to tie up every industry, was
called for trial today in the Essex
county superior court in this city.
Few cases in the history of criminal
actions growing out of industrial
disputes have attracted equal atten-
ton. The widespread interest and
Importance with which the trial is
regarded was manifested this morn
ing by court room filled with news
paper correspondents from many Sec
lions of the country.
Ettor and Giovannitti, who hail
from New York city, where the for
mer was engaged in editing labor
paper with Giovannitti as his assist
ant, are charged with accessories be-
fore the fact in the alleged murder
of Annie Lopezzi in Lawrence, Jan
uary 9, 1912. The killing Of the Lo-
pezzi woman occurred in street riot
during the great textile strike in
Lawrence last January. Joseph Ca
russo is accused of being the princi-
pal in the murder. 1t is contended
by the government that the bullet
which killed the woman was intend
ed to kill a Lawrence police officer.
Ettor and Giovannitti went to
Lawrence shortly after the outbreak
of the big strike in the wooden mills.
AS officers of the Industrial Work
ers of the World they addressed meet
ings of the striking operatives and
counseled them as to their conduct
during the disturbance. A few days

VERDICT GIVEN FOR VAIL
Blackjack Farmer Was Awarded
1884 By the Petit Jury Satur-
day Afternoon.
LITTLE GIRL IS WITNESS

W. M. Vail, a farmer near Black
duck, was awarded $636.47 by the
petit jury Saturday afternoon in his
suit against the Blackjack Cooperage
company. Mr.. Vail sued to recover
on logs delivered at the company mill
in Blackjack.
Eleanor, the nine year old daugh-
ter of the plaintiff, was placed on
the stand during the trial to testify
as to conversation between Mr.. Woods
and Mr.. Vail. In order to test her
memory, she was asked to name the
different kinds of trees on her farm
and to tell how each was identified.
She named them all and gave correct
answers as to bark, leaves, etc.
The case presented unusual diff
Guilty to the jury for the logs had
been used by the company and the
only way to get a scale was to ''back
scale" The plaintiff scaled the butts
and tops and then computed the av-
erage for the log. The jury accept
ed the scale of the plaintiff but cut
it down ten per cent so that it would
correspond with the scale used when
the tree is measured and the exact
size of each log computed. Attor-
neys say that this is the first case
in this county where a back scale
has been used in evidence.
Judge Stanton directed the jury to
return a verdict of at least $3.50 and
as much more as it believed plain
tiff's were entitled to.

OVER THE CABLES
GOOD HUNTING IN IRELAND.

Dublin, Sept. 30.@In the near fu-
ture Ireland will become the play
ground for American hunting men, .
is the opinion of Harry Worcester
Smith, wealthy Massachusetts, sports
man, who has just taken up his resi-
dence at Mullingar, Ireland, for the
purpose of hunting the Westmeath
country. He proposes hunting the
pack six days a week, and hopes to
entice Harry Payne Whitney, Malcolm
Stephenson, DR.. William L. Smith
and other Americans over to join his
club.
Il cannot understand the present
attitude of my country in wishing to
throttle horse racing-the only true
test of the horse" he declares. sIt
only means the destruction of the
great work of horsebreeding and Am-
erican sportsmen will have to come to
Europe in future, and Ireland will
become their playground

ACTORS HEAD BARELY SAVED

Copenhagen, Sept. 3O.-Adam
Poulsen, Denmark's leading actor,
has no use for cinematograph acts, if
he is supposed to be executed in the
interests of realism. Recently big
cinematograph company engaged him
to play the hero in cinema drama,
in which his artistic exertions had to
end with his death on the scaffold.
1t was a French play, and the pro-
motors in order to do the thing in
proper style, procured a real guillo-
tine. A heavy block of wood was
placed a few inches above the spot
where the actor was to lay his head,
in order to prevent the knife reach
ing the neck. Poulsen, however, in
sisted on a trial before he commenced
rehearsals, and the executioner let
the knife drop. It went through the
block like flash, and if the actor
had had his head there his acting
days would have been ended.
