HISTORIC lance
IS USED IN WAR
British Army Officer Says
Lancer Often Sticks Many
Men in Battle.

The lance, an evolution of one of
the most ancient weapons, IS figuring
prominently in the present European
war after having been practically dis
carded for many years Except for
Servia and Turkey, which have no
regular lancer corps, the lance is be-
ing used by all of the warning ma
According to a retired English army
officer now living in FL PasO, the
British lancers are one Of the most
highly developed arms of the service.
The lance carried by them is sharp
pointed, while that carried by the Ger
mans is blunt pointed, measuring
about half an inch square at the point.
The 9th and 18th lancers are the crack
corps of the British army.
Use 1t Many Times.
When used by an experienced rider
the lance is one of the most dangerous
OF weapons. Contrary to the gen
eral impression, it is used after the
first impact the lancer Withdrawing
his weapon from the man or horse
he has first struck and Immediately
attacking another of the enemy. Ac-
cCrding to the British officer living
here, there have been cases where, in
a single charge, one lancer has dis
patched as many as six of the enemy.
Lancrs, however are equipped with
swords, so that should their lanCeS be-
come entangled, they can defend them
selves when at close quarters.
The lance used in the English army
is about nine feet long, while that
used by the Germans is y feet in
length. In most cases the English
lance is made of ash or some other
strong wood. German lances are made
OF steel and are hollow. Reports from
the battlefields in France state that
many of the German lances have been
found crumpled and bent in two, so
great has been the force of the i'm
pact.
The Belgian lancer corps has been
highly developed and has done effec-
tive work. Men enlisting in the Brit
isE lancer corps are chosen for their
strength and riding ability

land for a stipulated price and to give
him a good and sufficient warranty
deed therefor. Boyd made a payment
on the land under the agreement. He
also paid taxes amounting to $S5. At
ter that he learned that Boley's father
had an equity in the land and that the
father refused to convey his interest.
Boley refused to clear the title to the
land but insisted in Boyd completing
his payments and taking a deed for
the land under the circumstances.
Boley's father was in possession.
When the land was purchased both
father and son joined in paying for it,
but the title was taken in the name of
the son. There was an oral agreement
between the two that the fathers in
terest was to come out of the sale
price and the father refused to sur
render possession until his interests
were taken care Of In the trial court
Judgment was returned in favor Of
Boyd Boley appealed to the supreme
court The law applicable to the case
is thus set forth in the syllabus Of the
opinion:
where parties enter into a con-
tract for the conveyance OF real prop
erty for valuable consideration,
wherein vendor agrees to give vendee
a good and sufficient warranty deed
therefor, vendor must place himself in
a position to comply with the require
ment to convey clear title before he
can compel vendee to complete his
payments of the purchase price.
Where under contract to convey
real property by good and sufficient
warranty deed, vendor insists on ven
dee taking a doubtful title, vendee is
at liberty to rescind the contract and
demand repayment of money paid by
him on the purchase price.
Held, that the evidence in this case
sustains the findings of the lower
court, and that the lower court
committed no error in its rulings on
the admission and rejection of evil
dence."
The supreme court opinion was writ
ten by Chief Justice Ai1shie and was
fully concurred in by his two col

SAY MAN KILLED
PHYSICIANS PATIENT
(By Assciatoed Press.)

MINBOLA, N. Y, Oct. 22-George
NJ. Levy, counsel for Mrs. Florence
Carman, on trial in supreme court
here for the alleged murder of Mrs.
Louise Bailey, declared this morning
when the trial was resumed that the
defense would prove that the crime
was committed, not by Mrs. Carman,
but by a man, whose motive for the
murder is unknown.
Mr.. Levy addressing the court, said
that Mrs. Carman, when placed upon
the stand, will tell the jury that she
heard the shot fired that killed Mrs
Bailey after she had gone to bed, and
that she was alone in her bedroom at
the time of the murder.
This announcement on the part oil
Mr.. Levy, was the first intimation CIV
en- the court that the defendant would
testify in the case.
Celia Coleman, the negro housemaid
employed in the household of Mrs
Carman, who gave sensational testi-
mony on the stand yesterday afternoon
was examined by counsel for the de-
fendant during the morning session Of
the court, and subjected to gruelline 6
cross-examination, which failed tc
confuse the witness.
The case continued to occupy the at.
tention of the court this afternoon, ant
verdict is not expected to be reached
before Saturday.

PANAMA, Oct. Notwithstanding
that the war has largely curtailed ship
ping activities, the canal traffic for the
first six weeks was greater, says Col.
Goethals, than had been expected, and
indicates that within year the tolls
may be sufficient to pay all operating
expenses, unless other slides more
dangerous than the recent one which
has temporarily tied up traffic in the
waterway, occur.
The canal has thus far earned $685.

eighty-one self-propelled vessels made
use of it. Most of these were ships cf
American registry; those flying the
British flag being second. There were
no German ships, nor Italian, French

ships have passed through and one
each from Denmark and Holland. The
Peruvian torpedo boat Tentienta Rod

UNITED STATES TELLS
JOHN BULL To
RELEASE SHIPS
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 22.-Act-
ing Secretary of State Lands this
morning announced that the United
States had protested to Great Britain
against the forcible seizure of the
American steamership Brindilla, now
at Halifax, where she was conveyed by
English warships two days ago, as un-
justifable, and demanded the imme-
diate release of the ship.
The steamer John D. Rockefeller,
which was seized by British cruisers
off the Scottish coast recently, under
circumstances similar to those under
which the Brindilla was detained, was
released from custody today and pro-
ceeded to her destination.
