they were driven all over Hamilton

apiary, one of the most complete in
the central states from which he

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE decline
on the stock exchange during the
afternoon, following very irregular
forenoon market, was probably to be
ascribed to the fact that NOTHING new.
In the way of encouraging news OF a
general character, had come to light
over Sunday No decision had been
arrived at by the European powers
and no announcement of a definite
sort had been given out as to the new
administrations policy. For this
weakness, London's own market to
some extent, set the example. Rail
way shares were considerably lower
Consols were higher, despite mod
crate decline in French 3's and a
rather sharp fall in Russian as. Quite
naturally the Imaginative ones and
the impatient stock exchanges had the
world face to face with a war in
which the whole of Europe may be IN.

FOUR GUNMEN
SOON ON TRIAL
Jury Is Halt Secured and Case win
Occupy About TWO
Months.

United Press Leased Wire Service.
NEW YORK. Nov. 11.-Seven Jurors
We're needed when the trial of the
four gunner alleged to have been the
active instruments In the death OF
Herman Rosenthal, gambler, was re.
sumed today. 1t was believed they
would be secured so that the case
might be started late today. There
was the same talk of the Quartette
taking a second degree murder plea
and the customary denials when court
opened but the general opinion about
the courtroom was that the case
would be fought out to finish.
A legal representative of Lieutenant
Becker, now in death cell at Sing
Sing. awaiting execution az the brains
OF the conspiracy that ended in Ros.
enthals death was present in court.
He will closely follow the trial to get
a line on anything that NAV be
brought out which can be used In
connection with the Becker appeal for
a new trial.
ne Case VIII take about seven or
eight days to try. Judge Wahle. for
the defense, said today he thought he
could get through in four full court
days while District Attorney Whitman
said he would need four outside of
the summing up, AS in the Becker
case, Jack Rose will be the chief de-
pendence of the state, He will tell
the big story accusing the men on
trial. Then Weber, WALTON and
Schepps will take the stand to fill in
and corroborate.
All four of the gunner will take
the stand. The story they will tell
IS carefully guarded by their counsel
Wahle said that he would Tell them
to tell everything they know about
the case and also not to keep secret
any details Of their records in order
to forestall cross-examination.
We will not try to show these bovs
are either miscreants or angels Z,
said Wahle, put we will prove that
they had nothing to do with the kill
ing Of Rosenthal. And I will have
these boys out for Thanksgiving, too"

great Exploits river, at least 25 yards

would be difficult to beat.
They have sawed trees six inches
in diameter and laid them most skill
fully. they have rolled up huge stones
to strengthen the dam and filed the
interstices with mud, making a solid
structure that one can walk along
with ease
THE resident engineer of the An.

visit to the dam, pointed out the scien.

and angles used to prevent collapse
from water pressure, and the inter

ticnal strength. He admitted that the

The entrance is always under wa

beavers to show themselves by strik-
ing the water near the house with the

possibly they think another beaver is
in the vicinity
If this expedient should fail one
can destroy the dam or make a hole
in it so as to lower the level of the
water; they come out to see what
has happened to the dam and set to
work at once to repair it.
Fortunately the beavers are pro-
tected by law until Oct. /, 1913. and
there Is every probability, since there
would be very few of them left If the
