LAWYER ADMITS WOMAN ON TRIAL KNOWS HOW HUS.
 BAND WAS WOUNDED.
IN STRUGGLE OVER A PAPER
Alleged Accident Happened When She Tried to Recover Power of Attorney-Shot With Pis-
 tol He Had Seized.

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 2-Lawyers for Mrs Opie Grace will try to prove that Eugene H. Grace accidentally shot himself when in a fight with his wife, which was caused by dispute over the power of attorney she had given to him to dispose of her home on Spruce street in Philadelphia. This is the theory of the defense in the case, outlined at the trial which has been in progress here since Monday.
 Will Charge Threats to Kill.
 Attorney Branch said that Grace had on numerous occasions threatened to kill his wife, and several times had attempted it, and that he had drawn on his wife for $15,000 since their marriage, and that all of their ex- penses were paid out of the fortune left to her by her first husband Grace, it was contended, had repeatedly begged her to let him dispose of her home on Spruce street in Philadel- phia, but she had refused until shortly prior to the shooting of the husband
 The story of the defense was that after Mrs. Grace had given her hus- band power of attorney to dispose of her Philadelphia home she pleaded with Grace not to sell her home, but to wait and see if he couldn't make out with some money he had that morning received through his business partner, E. F. Lawrence.
 It was charged that following her pleading Grace cursed and abused her and ordered her to hurry away and Shat she went to his coat and took from his pocket the power of attorney and was in the act of throwing it into the fire when he sprang from bed, grabbed her wrist and twisted it until she let the paper fall to the floor
 The lawyer alleged that he then her he reached tc the dresser drawer with his left hand and drew the pistol
 Testimony to Tell of Scuffle.
 The defense is that he tried to strike her with it, but she prevented him, and that it was In this scuffle, in which the accused wife was trying to prevent Grace from shooting her, that the pair reached the bed and fell. over onto it. The pistol went off and the bullet entered Grace's side.
 The defense will endeavor to show that Mrs. Grace never touched the pistol until it was fired and that it was discharged when in the hands of the husband, when she was scuffling with him to prevent him from killing her.

lSLEY REFUSES TO MAKE RACE
Illinois Senator Doesn't Want Nomi- nation for Attorney General on

 The breaking away of Isley is the first open event, showing the trouble the Grand Old Party leaders say the Bull Moose men will have when they attempt.to launch complete state and county tickets to accompany their na- tional candidates.
 Strong efforts had been made to in duce Isley to take the place of second importance on the ticket, on account of his strength in Democratic ranks. Letters are pouring in from down. state Roosevelt men, as we'll as pro sressive Republicans declaring against a state ticket.

Seagirt, N. J., Aug. 2.-Gov. Will son says that Democracy Is united in support of the policy of a gradual downward revision of the tariff This is the first positive declaration made by the nominee on any question of national import since his nomination for the presidency

 Tt is not a violation of confidence for me to say Gov Wilson and my self are in thorough accord on the tariff question. l favor a downward revision of practically every schedule in a thorough but gradual manner

Burial of Mikado Expected to Take Place on Site of Ancient Pal

Tokio, Aug. 2.--The mayor and citi- zens of Tokio are making extraordi- nary efforts to influence the selection of Tokio or a place nearby as the mikado's burial place. It is believed, however, the funeral will take place on the site of Maruyama Palace, at Kioto, which was built by Hideyoshi In the sixteenth century.
 The railway board has ordered the construction of a special funeral car for the conveyance of the body Busi- ness has been resumed in almost all branches. Entertainments, amuse- ments and sports of all kinds have, however, been suspended for five days.
