GIBSON LAWYERS
REST Their CASE
Seek TO Prove Mrs. SzabO
Was Drowned.
JURY SEES DEATH CRAFT.

Boat From Which Accused Is Alleged
to Have Thrown Woman Client Ex-
hibited In Court-Claim They Fell
Out on Opposite Sides.
Newburg. N. Y. May 2S.-Testimony
IN the murder trial of Burton w. Glib
son. charged with causing the death of
Mrs. Rosa Menschik SzabO in Green
wood lake last July. was concluded be-
fore Supreme Court Justice Tompkins
here with the exception of one minor
witness story. That witness wired
that he was on his way from Boston.
At the last minute Justice Tompdns
decided to give the defense the privi-
lege of a short delay. to permit him to
appear. Otherwise the case would
have gone to the jury last night. 1t is
thought it will reach the jurors late
this afternoon.
After the rowboat which Gibson and
Mrs. Szabo used on Greenwood lake
was produced in court the lawyers for
the defense called John ]. Wright, who
declared that owing to the way the sun
reflected on the water it was impos-
sible to tell just what was happening
in the craft
DIR. Lewis, editor of American Medi-
cine. testified that in the conditions,
with the body embalmed and in the
ground thirty-nine days before the au-
topsy it would be impossible to tell
whether death was due to strangula-
ton. drowning or other causes.
Experts For Defense.
With the aid of the rowboat the de-
fense hoped to prove to the jury that
Mrs. Szabo was drowned after the boat
accidentally upset Three experts testi-
fed their belief that Mrs. Szabo died of
drowning and not of strangulation.
Joseph Ryerson. the engineer of the
Oneida. which rescued Gibson. testified
that he was returning with Gibson
when he met Minturn's boat going out
He was corroborated by Lewis Van
houten and Wilbur Garrison. The de-
fense complained that John H. Wright,
Edward Clark and Mr.. and Mrs. E. A.
Leech. who had been subpoenaed, were
not in court, and Justice Tomplins d.
rected body attachments for the miss
ing witnesses.
The defense opened the session III
calling Thomas Garrison of Greenwood
Lake in an effort to show that Gibson
and the woman fell out on opposite
sides Of the rowboat and that marks
and bruises on Mrs. Szabo's body came
from the rough handling received when
it was taken from the water.

years ago, to the best of my memory

HER BOY IN BLUE.

She stood beside a grave that had
Somehow, been passed unseen;
Her hair was white, her face was sad,
Her tears splashed on the green.
Good mother, docs your soldier son."
1 asked, ''lie sleeping here?
Or may he be some other one
That once was near and dear?
Her bunch of lilacs tenderly
She placed above the dead
And then she turned and gazed at me
A moment ere she said:
"He that today lies sleeping here
Is not my lost loved one,
But someone held him near and dear
He was some mothers son."
'If he was not your love, why weep
AS you are weeping, pray?
Why linger where he lies asleep,
Why deck his grave today?"
"Round yonder cottage, on the hill,"
She said. 'he used to play;
I often hear his prattle still.
Though he is far away.
"And It was there his father died,
Twas there 1 nursed him, too;
Twas there my darling left my side
To Join the boys in blue.
"Today he lies meath other skies
I cannot tell you where
And weeds may wave above the grave
That needs his mothers care.
"And he that sleeps so soundly here
Was one who wore the gray,
And she that held him near and dear
May weep for him today"
"And do you deck the grave of one
Who wore the hated gray
Who, hapiy faced your martyred son
In that unrighteous fray?'
"Ah, he is sleeping soundly, tool
Who knows? Some other may
Place flowers above my boy in blue,
As do o'er her boy In gray!"

FASCINATING HAIR.
Easy to Stop Hair Falling Out, and
Dandruff Also.

Dandruff Also.
No one doubts that it is the duty
of every woman to look as charming
as possible. Every woman knows
why she wants to be beautiful and
attractive.
A woman with scant hair, dull and
lifeless, has lost half her charm.
How many times have we heard the
expression "the crowning glory of a
woman is her hair"
Nowadays, thanks to Partisan
Sage, almost every woman can have
hair so radiant and so glorious that
it attracts, fascinates and compels
admiration.
Partisan Sage, the scientific and
ideal hair rejuvenator and tonic, will
cause hair to grow. 1t will turn
harsh, withered hair into lustrous
and bewitchingly luxuriant hair in a
few days.
1t is a most delightful hair dress
ing that kills the dandruff germs,
stops falling hair, and eradicates
dandruff in two weeks, or your mon
ey back.

Richard w. Perry of Seattle. DR..
Perry and his wife got papers of
adoption whereby the boys name was
changed to Henry Barclay Perry.
Senator Piles, representing Mr..
Shoemaker, asked the court to annul
the adoption and restore the family
name to the child, contending that
his client had no notice of the hear
ing on the adoption petition. 1t was
set forth also that Henry Francis
Shoemaker, grandfather of the boy,
for whom he was named, had made
a $2,00O,000 bequest to the boys
father, who in turn pledges it to his
five-year-old son at his death.
1t was urged that the inheritance
will be lost unless the boy retains
the family name. 1t was contended
further that the child is the only
grandson of Henry Francis Shoemak-
er and that the family name must
be perpetuated, if at all, through
him alone. The grandfather, it is
said, is 67 years old.

CORDELE, GA, Feb. 13.--When @.
E. Brown attempted to kiss his wife at
the Union depot here yesterday after
noon, he was prevented by Chief OF
Police Sumner. Domestic trouble be-

cort Mrs Brown to a train going to
Albany. She had taken out peace
warrant, the officers said, to protect
her from her husband, and as he was

met the train from Ashburn. Brown
approached his wife and declared that
he had no other motive than to be-
come reconciled to her. and intended
only TO kiss her The officer pushed
him aside and said that there would
be no embrace until the woman con-
sented But she refused. while he per-
sisted. finally agreeing TO call. it even

prise:
If Jack Slaton solves the problem
of Georgia's finances he will have
proven the best governor in the
past twenty years.
Without exception, the newspapers
all over the state are indorsing Mr.. Sla-
toms announced determination to bring
some sort Of order out of the state S
financial chaos, in so far as he, az gov
ernor may.
His suggestion that the state tax
rate, already limited in its entirety, be
limited further in it's details, has won
for him nothing but commentator and
praise.
Mr.. Slaton desires to see a financial
program arranged whereby the state
may pay the school teachers and the
Confederate pensions promptly.
Not only does he think the state is
under heavy moral obligation to do
both things. but he knows, in addition
to that, that prompt payment Of the
teachers and the old soldiers will save
them much money, by keeping them out
Of the hands Of the note shavers and
money sharks, when their necessities
press them so hard that they must dis
count their past due salaries and pen
sions
1t is noticeable moreover, that Mr..

very friendly in it's disposition toward

to Incorporate With G. 0.P.
Attacks Idaho Courts.

NEW YORK, Feb 13.-"The Pro-
gressive party is here to stay" said
former President Roosevelt who made
MS hrst public appearance in the coun-
ellis of the Progressive party for many
weeks, to say that so far as he was
concerned there would be no compro-
mise, no amalgamation, no yielding in
the fight for the party.
The eX-president again attacked the
supreme court of Idaho for it's decision
denying the Progressive party a place
on the ticket at the fall election, say
ing that such a decision showed the
need of the judicial recall.
Many of the conspicuous figures in
the Progressive campaign last fall
gathered for the Lincoln day dinner
of the National Progressive club The
1000 seats at the table were all taken,
many by women, and hundreds of
spectators filled the balcony over
looking the ballroom, in which the din
ner was given. Albert j. Beveridge,
Progressive candidate for governor of
indiana at the election; Oscar S.
Strauss, who ran for governor In New
York; William II. Hotchklss, former
Congressman W. Bourke Cochran also
made speeches.
Colonel Roosevelt declared unequiv-
ocally against the amalgamation of the
Republican and Progressive parties, as
recently proposed by Frank Munsey.
The Progressive party" said he
will amalgamate with neither Of the
two old parties both of which are
boss controlled and privilege ridden
We believe that in each of these par
ties, however, there are hundreds of
thousands of good honest men and
women who are progressives. The only
place for them is in our party. We will
welcome them In and we win greet
them on an exact equality with our
selves, paying not the slightest heed Ia
whether they are Republicans or ex-
Democrats"

ALSBERC To PUSH
PURE FOOD FIGHT.
There Will Be No up, Dr..
WiIey's Successor Tells the
Medicine Makers.

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-That there
would be no let-up in the enforcement
of the pure food and drugs act by the
department of agriculture was the as
sertion made here by DR.. Carl L. Ais
berg, chief of the bureau of chemistry,
in an address at the annual meeting
Of the National Association of Manu-
facturers of Medicinal Products.
The work of the department has.
think you will admit, been very sue
cessful in improving the quality Of our
foods and preventing the grave forms
of fraud and adulteration," said Dr..
Alsberg. 1--WE realize fully that much
remains to be done" he added, but
public confidence has been won, and
precedents have been created. No
backward steps will be taken.
Conditions throughout the Union"
he said, will be right only when each
and every state passes, and enforces,
adequate food laws; and when these
laws have been unified and harmonized
with those of the Federal govern
ment."
In relation TO the Sherley act. now
pending before congress, DIR. Alsberg
said 1t offered only partial remedy.
1T gives the department of agricul-
ture power TO regulate the labels of
nostrums," said the doctor, but not
their advertising. AS long as our press
continues to print the advertisements
of nostrums," said he, ways and means
will be found to hawk them about the
country Several such ingenious
schemes have already been put into
practice.
Gloomy as the outlook seems, there
is yet a ray of hope, 1t is the attitude
of a small but powerful, portion of
the press itself which has voluntarily
secured its advertising columns until
they contain only clean and honest mat
ter. The movement Is spreading Let
US hope that its progress will be so
rapid that it will make legislative con-
troll of advertising unnecessary"
