morning her body was found. They
described the wounds that caused the
woman's death. The state has con-
tended that the wound on the left arm
was received by DR.. Knabe in an effort
to ward off the blow dealt by her
slayer. According to the defence. the
theory is that she inflicted the wound
on herself in the CONFUSION of the
death struggle. On cross examination
none of the witnesses would saw that
the cut might not have been made in
that way.
A pairing knife found on the chif-
fonier bore no blood stains, the wit
nesses testified. No other instruments
by means of which the fatal wound
might have been made was discovered.

"Moxiesn In Russia.

The introduction of the cinema into
Russia has, says a correspondent,
brought about almost a revolution in
the relations of the car to the peo-
pie. 1t has long been the custom,
doubtless owing to the prudential con-
siderations, to keep the masses at a
safe distance from the emperor of
Russia, whenever he appears in pub
lie; but the display of his majesty
on the film brings him into quite in
innate proximity to his subjects. This
has caused the Russian minister of
the interior to decree that the film
portraits of imperial personages must
be submitted for approval to the
court ministry before being exhibited,
that they must not be accompanied by
music when displayed, that they may
be shown only in specially marked
parts of the program, and-this is the
most remarkable regulation Of all
that a curtain must go up and down
before and after the exhibition Of the
imperial pictures, in order to show
that they have no material connec-
ton with the rest OF the program.
even the playing OF the
national anthem Will be forbidden,
during the display.-Glasgow Herald.

TAFT FAMILY POSSESSIONS TO BE TAKEN FROM THE WHITE
 HOUSE THAT DAY.
LAW LIBRARY WILL GO LAST
Books of the President Always Inter. est VisItors-Colonel Roosevelt's Were Very Numerous-History Strong in Wilson's Collection.
By GEORGE CLINTON.


 Washington-On the afternoon of March an ordinary May-day moving van will appear under the portico of the White House where ordinarily no vehicle is seen excepting the limousine or the carriage drawn by blooded horses. President Taft and his fam fly are packing up their things, and so are President-elect Wilson and his family, the ones to go and the others to come. President Tafts White House belongings will be sent away March 8 and the family will follow on the next morning.
 There will be several moving days in Washington early next month. The cabinet officers and their families, or most of them at any rate, will pack up and clear out, some of them to return to the hearth stones in other places which have been cold for some years. Other cabinet officers and their fami- lies will take only temporary leave of absence, for the lure of Washington is strong upon them, and particularly strong upon the women folk of their families. So back to the capital they will come next winter to dine out five nights of the week and to dance out the other two. Death has nothing on Washington when it comes to the mat ter of grip

 It ought to be grateful to Americans to know that when visitors are admit ted on occasion to the remoter parts of the White House their usual in quiry is about the library. The aver age American pilgrim wants to know what the president reads. Mir Taft will send to New Haven, as the last of the executive office consignments, his library of law books. He will need them when engaged in his new duties and he himself has said it." for re- gently he declared his intention of kc ping at least a few lessons ahead Jf his law student classes.
 The law library of the White House is in the office annex. MT. Taft has his reading books" in the study of the main structure. There are all sorts and conditions of books here, written by all sorts and conditions of men and women.
 When MT. Roosevelt moved out of the White House four years ago, he took with him about twice as many books as MT. Taft possesses, but then MT Roosevelt had habit of buying everything which touched on mann mals, birds, bugs, flowers, trees, fish

 When Theodore Roosevelt entered the White House he had the arrange ment of the basement changed and he brought down upon himself a storm.
