ments to the agricultural law were sug-
gested to-day at a conference called by
Commissioner Huson of the State De-
partment Of Agriculture to devise means

out rowing, which, when she first
looked, was right side up.
She Immediately got pair Of opera
glasses, through which, she said, she
discovered that the boat had turned
bottom up and that Gibson was cling
ing to It.
Did you notice whether he had an
upper garment on?" she was asked.
Yes, he did have a covering on the
upper part of his body" she replied
promptly, and no amount Of cross-ex-
aiming could shake this statement.
Gibson has asserted all along that
the upper garment Of his bathing suit
was torn from him by the woman when
he was struggling with her in the
water in an effort to save her. Other
witnesses testified to-day that when he
was pulled out of the water his upper
garment was not on him. The prose-
cution is expected TO argue that Mrs.
BenniDger's testimony goes to prove
that he tore the garment off himself
after he came to the surface and be-
fore he was rescued, in order TO make
It appear that he had struggled with
the woman in the water.
I Had No Relatives, Said Gibson.
Another new witness was Miss Ethel
Toussaint, of No. 263 West 123d street,
New York who is employed by Martin
3. Brown, a printer She was on va
cation at Greenwood Lake at the time
of the alleged crime and talked with
Gibson the day after Mrs. Szabo's
death. She testified he told her that
the accident, as she called II, was
caused while he and Mrs. Szabo were
changing seats, so that she could take
the oars, at his request, as his arm had
become cramped. Miss Toussaint said
he told her in response to a question
that the dead woman had no relatives
in this country.
How many questions did you ask
Gibson" Mr.. Elder asked.
Three in twenty minutes-very
many for a woman" snapped back
Miss Toussaint.
Fifteen witnc jses were called to-day
by the prosecution, which presented In
chronoIogical order the events sur
rounding the woman's death, as well as
Gibson's alleged actions from the first
time he visited the lake with her until
he had her body buried in an obscure
plot in Jersey City.
Among them was Sheriff William G..
DeGraw, who testified that Gibson told
him he was infatuated with the dead
woman and might have married her.
The face of Mrs. Gibson, who sat close
beside her husband. grew tense at this
point.
Daniel Dewitt, negro boatman, who
passed Gibson and Mrs Szabo on the
lake. testified that Gibson was talking
loud and rough"
AS on the first day Of the trial, Mrs.
Gibson held a ruling place in the coun-
ellis of the defence. She sat with a
notebook and pencil, busily taking
notes on the testimony, and was con-

Realizing the necessity Of keeping

building was cleared and some means
devised for foiling his plans, Secretary
Snlvely and the detectives in the room
carried on a conversation with him.

While the conversation was In PROGRESS
several policemen and newspaper men
passed through the room. A newspaper
photographer even came In and took a
picture OF the man sitting on the chair
with the Internal machine resting on his
knee. Davis finally asked that everybody
be kept back.
Curiosity has killed lots Of people," he
said, and II th.s thing goes off there's
going to be a whole lot Of them go up"
one Of the spectators was J. Randel, a
mining man from Chihuahua, Mexico
Randel came in and shook hands with
Davis, asking him If it was really dyna-
mite in the box
Yes. and it's 90 per cent stuff, too"
declared Davis.
II don't believe it; you are blufing,
laughed Randel
Davis lifted the cloth cover Of the box,
which had glass front, and drew out a
stick Of dynamite. Rsndel took 1t, bit off
Il piece and tasted 1t. miner fashion. He
knew what II was, but dissembed in or
der to gain time.
That's not dynamite" he said, con-
temptuously, somebody cheated you"

MITCHELL COUPLE WEEDS
DESPITE MUCH OPPOSITION

MITCHELL. S. D., Jan. N.-(Special.l-
After going through period Of much
excitment during the last two weeks, in
which efforts have been made by the
parents to break up the desire on the
part Of Miss Ruberta Hathaway and j.
J. Elliott to get married. the young
couple this afternoon were united in mar
rage by the pastor offthe Baptist church.
Elliott boarded at the Hathaway home,
where he became acquainted with the
young woman. who has besn attending
Wesleyan university. Suspicioning that
Elliott and the girl were going to elope
two weeks ago. the father OF the girl has
been trying to break up the match. Eli
oft has been working under a contract
for decorating Science hall Of the Uni
yerslty. and when he refused to give up
the girl the father was able to have his
contract abrogated at the university and
he was thrown out OF employment. but
he remained in the city. Other efforts
we're made to break up the match. but
they all proved unavailing, in that the
girl is OF age. She left her home yester-
day, and with Elliott attempted to Sc
cure a marriage license. which was re-
fused when the clerk OF courts believed
she was under age. The license was Sc
cured this morning when the father ad-
mltted to the clerk that his daughter was
of age. Elliott and his wife will leave
the latter part OF the week for Butler,
Pa, Eiliott's former home.

Apathy and Narrowness Continues

influences Believed Against
Sustained Activity.

NEW YORK. Jan. is-In apathy and
narrowness the stock market today dupli-
Gated its course of the preceding days OF
the week Traders said the market was
waiting for something to happen. Nothing
did happen and the leading stocks stood
still most OF the day. Five minutes be-
fore the elOse the bears attacked the list
concentrating on the three market lead
ers. Union Pacific fell 10 point below
yesterdays close. but Reading and
United States Steel held to within a
small fraction Of their previous prices.
The general list at the close showed
only Insignificant changes in most IN
stances. Some specislties made good
gains.
No one attempted to predict when the
markets dullness would end. Traders
took the view that with presidential
campaign at hand and tariff legislation
under way, there were strong influences
against any period of sustained activity
for some time to come. Some disap-
pointment Is expected moreover at bust
ness conditions. Although II is agreed
that there has been q considerable i'm
provement in the steel trade usually re-
Earded as trade barometer, the i'm
provement has been less rapid than was
hoped for. But sentiment can hardly
be described as pessimlstic. II Is rather
suggestive Of waiting attitude.

Exchanges is in
Session in Chicago

CHICAGO. Jan. lS.-Members Of the
council OF grain exchanges began a ses-
sion here today with representatives in
attendance from Chicago. Kansas City.
Omaha. Minneapolis. Milwaukee and
other cities. will take action on two i'm
portant matters.
One is a resolutlon offered by c. A.
Mangunson Of Minneapolis, which the
grain exchanges will be asked TO adopt
later. which seeks to prohibit offers to
buy or sell large quantities of grain or
seeds for future delivery. with limitations
requiring the buyer or seller to purchase
or sell the entire amount offered.
The resolution provides that all such
bids must be open for acceptance by any
member in lots of 500 bushels or multi
pies thereof.
The other business scheduled 10 be
acted on Is a suggestion made by Hiram
n. Sager of Chicago that all the ex-
ch. nges adopt calendar" days as basis
u shipment instead Of business" days.
Nine members of the council have already
adopted this system.
