SAY SCHMIDT IS SRAMM|NG
ALIENISTS TESTIFY FOR STATE
IN CASE OF PRIEST.
Testimony Concluded and Murder
Case Will Go to the jury
Immediately.

New York, Dec. 20. - That Hans
Schmidt, now on trial for the murder
of Anna Aumuller, has been shaming
insanity, was the burden of testimony
given by four alienists appearing for
the state. DR.. Carlos f. Macdonald,
the first expert to be called by the
prosecution, testified that on Sept. "a
the accused had told him:
Il did it. / am willing for the law
to take it's course and you can have
my body"
DR.. Macdonald gave it as his opin-
ion that Schmidt lis a man of superior
intelligence and that he has sham.
med insanity much more cleverly than
an ignorant person could have done.
He also thought it possible that the
four alienists of the defense had been
successfully deceived by the accused
and that DIR. Herman, who examined
Schmidt for the Royal Court of Mu,
mich, Germany, also had been imposed
upon by Schmidt.
DR.. George H. Kirby said he had
found the prisoners mind to be work.
ing rapidly but it had given no indi-
cation Of abnormality. In his opinion
Schmidt's mind is rational.
He doubted the truth of Schmidt's
assertions that he had visions.
That the accused had answered all
questions readily and connectedly
when he examined him last October,
was the testimony given by DR.. Allen
r. Dieffendorf, another of the states
alienists. According to this expert,
Schmidt is sane and never had visions.
DR.. William Mabon, last of the ex
perts to be called yesterday, testified
similarly.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Mabon's
testimony both sides rested and a con,
sultation between counsel and Judge
Foster resulted in adjournment.
Each side will be given so minutes
to sum up. Judge Foster said his
charge to the jury would be short.

HELD UP TRAIN FOR GIRL
Sunset Limited Robber Did X for

Los Angeles, Dec. 29.-It was for a

Sunset limited at Ell Monte, Dec. 1
The murder of the railroad official
Horace E. Montague, who was slain by
the robber as he entered a Pullman

spoiled Bostick's plans for the girl.
Bostick laid bare this feature of his
crime to Sheriff Hammel. He told
the sheriff he wanted funds for the
girl, who is supposed to be now in
Phoenix. Ariz., and he added that he
had intended to return to Los Angeles
and take her away on a trip as soon
as excitement W. the murder and
train robbery had died down.

PLAN FOR CHOOSING
THE RESERVE CITIES
THE BANKING COMMITTEE AN.
NoUNcES 1T WILL HOLD HEAR
,NGs IN FOURTEEN CITIES.
PLAN TWO MONTHS WORK
Two Cabinet Members Expect to Have
System Launched by Feb. 22-Sec-
rotary McAdoo's Illness Tenn
porarily P~ostpones Hearings.

Washington, Dec. 29.-The ~organiza-
ton committee, which is to launch the
new federal reserve banking system
for the nation, announces its plan OF
action for marking u boundaries of
reserve districts and the selection OF
federal reserve cities.
Public hearings will be held in IA
large cities of the country-New York,
Boston, Chicago, st. Louis, Denver,
Seattle, Portland, Ore, San Francisco,
Los Angeles, Houston, Tex, New Or
leans, Atlanta, Cincinnati and Cleve-
land.
viii Consider Other Places.
Although these cities are the only
ones TO be visited, it was announced
the advantages of many others would
be considered and bankers and others
interested in cities not named in its
list would be heard.
The two cabinet officers composing
the committee will spend practically
all of the next two months in this
work and expect to conclude their la
bors about the time all national banks
are given in which to announce their
intention of becoming members of the
system. 1t will not begin hearings I'M
til next week.
McAdoo Is IiI.
Secretary McAdoo left his office suf-
fering from a slight fever, and the
other committeeman, Secretary Hous-
ton, decided to abandon the task until
Mr.. McAdoo's recovery. II was said
the hard fight Mr.. McAdoo made to aid
In perfecting the currency law had told
upon him. He was a constant adviser
of both the senate and house commit
tees and shouldered much OF the bur-
den of representing President Wilson
in executive consideration of the bill
when il was yet in congress-. His i'll
ness is not believed to be serious, but
he is not expected to return to his
desk for several days.
The committees announcement fol-
lows, in part:
Banks Have Until February %.
Under the provisions of the federal
reserve act all national banks are re-
CURED to signify their acceptance of
It's terms and provisions on or before
February %, 1914, and all eligible state
banks and trust companies are per-
mitted to signify their acceptance with
in the same time.
The committee will sit at the GUS
tom house in New York City January
2 and 81; in Boston on January 5 and
6, and return to New York for addi-
tional sessions on the Sth and 9th. The
committee will sit In Washington from
January IL to II; in Chicago. January
10. 20 and 81; in st. Louis, January %,
23 and "a; in Denver, January 26.
Hearings for the other cities will be

COOPERATIVE FARMING NEXT

Edmonton, Alberta, Dec. 27.-Henry
Howes of Bushby Park, Bristol, Eng

Cooperative Farming Society, Limited,
OF Canada, under the Industrial and
Provident societies act of England,
says in a letter to George NJ. Hall, in

lish a cooperative farming colony
within 80 miles of this city.
Girls and women from England. Ire
land and Scotland will be located Oh
the land and care for mich COWS,
poultry and pet stock and produce
gardens.
The plan was suggested to Mr..
Howes On a recent tour of Western
Canada, when he visited a farm of so
acres managed by a h~alf-dozen young
ONE from England and Scotland.
One of the members, a college trained
girl. had charge of the greenhouse.
Another did the homework and one
work. A Scotch girl opened a district
store in the city and an English typist
did all the clerical work. The sixth
member of the colony attended to the
COW. bees and rabbits.
The scheme worked out satisfactor.
lily until Dan Cupid made his appear
ance with his bow and culver of ar
rows, carrying off four of the women,
who became the wives of farmers.
The weddings took place within two
weeks. The remaining two stayed a
month, doing all the work, when they,
too. fell victims.
The farm was sold and the profits
divided equally among the six women.

Interesting Figures.

Using the actual averages of ex-
cessive moisture. and disregarding the
special shipments where moisture
content may run as high as q per
cent, the specialists find that the ex
cess water shipped amounts to the
equivalent in weight for Is, 1895, 800
bushels of corn.
The presence of this excessive mois-
ture In. not only adds to the net
cost of the corn after 1t is delivered,
but prevents the producer who ships
corn over the moisture limit from hav-
ing his corn graded as grade Ne. 2,
and consequently compels him t. ac-
cept a grade No. 3 or lower, with a
corresponding reduction in price fer
his produce. Moreover, corn with an
excessive moisture content is liable to
d~eteriorate in storage.

Molsture In Corn.

One Of the heaviest wasted freight
items is the freight paid for the trans
p~ortation of excessive moisture in
corn. The waste water now being
shipped in corn in the United States,
according to the estimates of the spe-
ciali5ts, has a serious bearing on the
actual cost of corn, and also is one
explanation for the great shortage of
cars at tie corn shipping seasons.
The specialists find, for example,
that the American people are paying
freight on 436,682 tons of water in
shipping their corn from the produc-
ing sections to the market. This
means that at a time when there is a
great shortage of cars, there is the
equivalent of more than 1856 freight
cars of $4,000 pounds capacity loaded
with water which is responsible for
the enormous losses resulting from the
deterioration of shelled corr before it
is 1nally consumed.

REPORT.

Government Specialists Can File Sta.
tistics Of Interest to Farmers and
Grain Men of Eptire
Country.

Washington, Dec. 27.-In the belief
that American methods of shipping
several important staple foods by
freight are decidedly wasteful and that
this waste in money adds materially
to the cost of food, several specialists
of the department of agriculture have
been conducting Investigations into
shipping conditions in the United
States. AS a result Of these investiga-
tons they are convinced that in sew
eral particulars the systems used by
United States shippers are far less
economical than those employed by
foreign shippers, notably in Germany.
AS a result, the specialists find, in
several instances, that food is started
on long freight journeys in such con
dition that heavy freight charges must
be paid on elements which have to be
taken out of the food at the end of the
trip before it can be used as food.
