never with the same feeling of eXal-
tation or the same revealing sense of
the greatness of him who dwelt there.
Probably should explain at this
point that mp TO that time | had never
had the highest appreciation of the im-
mortal George While little more than
boy had read history somewhat and
formed a boys conclusions. Washing
tons attitude toward France in his last
days had impressed me as smacking of
ingratitude. his state coach and court
trimmings as having a touch of arts
tocracy and even his generaship as
revealing weak spots. since he could
not win victories or hold his army to-
gether More than all. being Jeffer-
sonian, resented his apparent leaning
seward Hamilton and the Federalists.
When Washington Laughed.
While had scarcely formulated
these thoughts, they were lurking some
where in the back of my head as |
made my first journey to the historic
shrine. The trolley running to Mount
Vernon starts from Washington, cross

ancient gate of an estate.

All hail to the wizard Edison, no
motion pictures ever before exhibited
in this city have been more profoundly
interesting than the talking motion
pictures that will be at the opera
house Saturday evening They possess
a scientific value that cannot be at
tributed to the pictures of the fami-
lar black and white or garden variety.
Not only are the pictures shown on
a larger screen than usual, but the
distinctness of the voice and the syn
chronization of the subjects shown
is wonderfully realistic.
Nothing has ever been invented that
could so clearly illustrate the educa-
tional value of these wonderful talk
ing motion pictures No more re-
markable achievement of this wonder
full photography has ever been reveal
ed in this city. The pictures are both
dramatic and tragic.

That the officials of the Panama
Pacific Exposition. believing that they
are going TO be lacking in material
with which to fill the agricultural
palace at the fair IN 1915, intend to
try and force Hawaii into putting the
exhibits of her many industries into
that structure instead of allowing
her to display them in her own
building, is the opinion Of the chair
man of the Hawaii Fair Commission
expressed this morning when asked
for the facts of his interview yester-
day with Thomas G. Stallsmith, chief
|of the department OF agriculture and

Stallsmith, in company with other
members OF the United States COM

sition, appointed by President Wilson,

MRS. LILLIAN OLSON
APPEARS ON STAND
IN THE DARLING CASE
With Quivering Voice, Wife
of Olson Tells of Rela-
tions With Clyde
M. Darling

ST. Paul, April 4.-With quiverine
end uncertaia voice. Mrs Lillian Oh
son. wife of Prof. Oscar Olson, took
the witness stand late today and ad
mitted having had illicit relations with
Clyde N. Darling, for whose murder
Olson Is on trial.
II told Darling that I was not a
bad woman and begged him to discon-
tinue his visits to our home but he
persisted in coming and when he
pressed me closely in his arms / could
not resist" Mrs. Olson testified.
Finally her answers to questions be-
came so low that they could not be
heard by the jury and she swayed as
if on the verge of collapse. Then an
adjournment was taken.
The state rested its cross examina-
ton of Professor Olson at o'clock
this afternoon but he may be recalled
The defendant repeated details of their
home life and told of the pain both
he and Mrs. Olyson had suffered be-
cause of her relations with Darling.
When asked by County Attorney
OBrien to give an exact statement of
his wife's confession to him, which
preceded the shooting of Darling, Oh
sons voice failed him, but he soon re-
covered and continued:
my wife said: Darling has a su-
perhuman power over me. / can't re-
sist him. He takes me in his arms
and looking into my eyes, he tells
me he loves me and hypnotises me- I
am afraid of him. Please keep him
from me-"
Before completing his testimony Pro-
fessor Olson enacted his part of the
tragedy. Grasping the same revolver
with which he killed Darling and fair
ly shaking with emotion, Olson trained
the weapon upon one of the Jurors and
stepped slowly forward. He hesitated a
moment, then quickly retreated and
pulled the trigger of the empty weap-
on The defense has contended that
Darling started toward Olson and that
the latter fired to save himself.
The strain of eight hours on the
stand and the rigid cross examination
to which he was subjected had a tell
ing effect on the defendant and he
leaned heavily upon the arm of his at
torney when leaving the courtroom.
