John Ellis was successfully a clergy
man. a telegraph operator and a broker.
After his separation from his wife he
took an office as a broker In a Back Bay
hotel at Boston. About a year ago he
took his daughter out for walk and
disappeared. Mrs. Ellis, I'm order to trace
the couple, resorted to the moving pict-
ures. and by their means located her
daughter and husband in Japan. Abduc-
ton is not an extraditable offence, accord
ing to the treaty between Japan and the
United States. and for this reason the
American Ambassador in Toxic asked for
the arrest of Ellis on charge OF perjury.

But Mrs. Pankhurst had plenty to

"Antis Under Suspicion"
Mrs. Pankhurst was asked II she he

the attack on THE Suffragette."
"The -suffragettes. she said. ARE

.BE|L|SS SOBS IN COURT
Accused in Ritual Murder Case
Suddenly Breaks Down.
TESTIMONY FAV0RS HIM
Kieff Newspaper Stigmatizes
Whole Trial "a Blind and
Gross Blunder."

Kieff oct 23-When the trial of Mendel
Reiiss for the murder OF the Christian
boy Yushinsky in March. 1911. reopened
this morning the prisoners counsel called
the attention of the presiding judge to the
fact that although the court sat yester-
day from early in the morning until mid
night the prisoners name had not been
mentioned even once Counsel asked the
president to put this on record. and he
consented to do so.
The strain of the trial is telling on
Beiliss. At the afternoon session, al
though nothing in the way Of evidence
was being given to cause him alarm. he
suddenly broke down. buried his head in
his hands and sobbed aloud. The sitting
was suspended to allow him to recover
his composure.
The first witness called to-day was
Xenia Diakonoh. a sister Of Catherine
Diakonoff, who gave important testimony
yesterday. She identified the piece of
pillowcase found near the cave in which
the body of Yushinsky was discovered az
similar to some she had made for Vera
Tcheberiak She also confirmed the state
ment made by her sister Catherine that
she had stayed in Vera Tcheoeriak nat
which the latter had denied when she was
confronted with Catherine Diakonon yes
terday.
Vera Tcheberiak fatty denied that
Xenia Diakonoff had made any pillow
cases for her. declaring she possessed no
pillowcases. A former servant Gaevsky.
who also acted as janitor at the Tchebe-
riak house corroborated the statement.
Xenia. however adhered to her testimony
adding that she had made pillowcases for
Easter at Neras fat.
The newspaper "Kievkanin" returned
to it's attack on the trial Of Beiltss to-
day, calling it blind and gross blunder.
The article terminated as follows: when
the Douma passes law enabling Golu-
beff. the leader OF the Black Hundred,
arbitrarily to send Jews TO hard labor,
then perhaps it will be unnecessary TO
seek to prove the existence of ritualists
among them"

Lawrence Man Wants DAM
ages for Illness in Family.
City Water Said to Have
Caused Typhoid.

Lawrence. Kan, Feb. 1.-THE case of
George White versus the Lawrence Wa
ter company. is on trial here. The plain
tiff. George White is asking for the sum
of 81 800 from the Lawrence Water COM
pany for the expenses incurred and the
loss of services of his wife during the
latter's sickness and also the illness of a
son, said sickness, it is alleged, was
caused by the use of water said to have
been taken from the pipes of the Law
renee Water company, and which, it Is
further alleged. was impure.
The plaintiff endeavored to prove this
contention. A number of experts, includ-
ing physicians and university men and
DR.. S. ]. Crumbine of the state board OF
health were called as witnesses. 1t was
hoped to show by these witnesses that
the water was impure. Mrs. White told
of her illness and of the water used by the
family A number of other witnesses were
called by the plaintiff.
The defense contends that 1T is 1mpos-
sible to trace the cause of illness to the
use of water and to establish this as a
fact. The Water company also states that
the White home was not piped for water

HE HAS LINCOLN GIVEN MEDAL
Hutchinson Man Has Memento Of
1860 Campaion

Hutchinson, Kan, Feb. AR. D.
Magee of the Central Detective agency
has pocket piece which he would
hardly sell for any price. It is a
souvenir coin, a relic of the presiden-
tial campaign of 1860, which was
given to his grandfather by Abraham
Lincoln.
My grandfather, VIM. McCon-
aughy, resided in Montgomery county,
Illinois, and was a personal friend of
Lincoln, then a lawyer of Springfield, -
said Mr.. Magee.c when Lincoln ran
for president he campaigned in my
grandfather's county, and it was then
that he gave him this souvenir
The medal bears the portrait on
one side of Lincoln and on the other
that of Hannibal Hamlin, candidate
for vice president.
Il saw a story some time ago in
a Denver paper, giving a picture of
this coin, and stating that the only
one known to be in existence was
owned by Denver man." said Mr..
Magee. This is one of the originals,
and is especially priced because it was
given by Mr.. Lincoln himself

$4,000 was rendered about year
ago and ever since per cent interest
has been charged to that amount Mr..
Atwood consented to withdraw the in
terest. The Trums originally sued for
$4,000 damages. The other suit that
was pending was one brought for
$4,000 by the father and mother

road accident in 1909.

Did you ever hear the parable
about the prodigal son?
This Is about a prodigal son
who fell among big leaguers but
did not stay. Ben Hunt is his
name, and he returned, not to his
former team, but to his former
manager. Moreover, he essayed
to twirl a victory over his one
time comrades.
Now, of course, this is some
thing no prodigal son should be
guilty of and that Ben's wicked
desires were frustrated is only
right and just. OF five scores
made in our national pastime, Ia
coma took a trio, and let the Bees
have the remainder.
All the damage done to the tall
and handsome Mr.. Hunt occurred
in the fourth chapter, when the
Bengals made all three scores.
Keller, a former Victorian, tapped
the Spalding on the stitch for a
pillow. Cy Neighbors liked the
idea and fell for the same. Lou
Nordy6e scornfully refused to hit
safe, but Kennedy, a former Vic
torian. slapped the pill to right
for safety, counting KEEL. Cold
en-" Ruell whanged a long hoist
to the suburbs, which counted
Cy, although sending him to the
morgue. McMullin walked, and
Pinky Grindle, a former Victorian,
raped in the final tally with a
swat to Mikes garden. McMullin
became suddenly ambitious and
tried to swipe the home plate, but
Danny Shea was watching and ar
rested him In the attempt.
Even the most casual reader
will notice that several former
Victorians" had more or less to
do with the result. That's ever
the way. A few bouquets might
also be rendered Mr.. o. A. Alti-
tudinous Boice, who pitched a
game that was the real sterling.
The Bees scored in the second
and sixth, two former Tigers"
Danny Shea and M. Angelo Lynch
being very largely responsible
Hunt distinguished himself with
the hickory, getting a double and
single out Of two attempts.

take up natural surgery. Almost
at once he acquired a big prac-
tice.
One look at Rees' hands be-
trays his secret. Large, sinewy
and knotty, they are the sort
you'd expect to see upon a steel
worker. The very sight of them
creates an impression of power,
but gives no hint of the wonder
full delicacy Of touch that enables
them to locate instantly dis
placed muscle or a tiny broken
bone.
A callous on the knuckle
of each middle finger is sig
nificant of the great number
of cases Rees has treated.
These callouses, about the
size of a five-cent piece, and
as hard as stone, are the re-
suit of his bOnesetting prac-
tice.
It is with the knuckles of his
middle finger that Rees forces
the broken bones together. These
callouses, his sensitive fingers,
and powerful arms and shoulders
are his only instruments.
