They serve double purpose in provid-

and they also secure at small cost large

can be used more intensively as rural

FIRST SHIP IN CANAL DISPUTE.
Honor Of Leading Vessels Through
Panama Claimed for Two.

The owners Of the steamship Nebraskan
and the owners OF the steamship Plelades
are in dispute as to which ship was
the hrst to come from San Francisco to
New York through the Panama Canal
Although the Nebraskan's captain
brought a letter from the Mayor of San
Francisco to the Mayor OF New York an
nouncing that ship as the first to make
the trip. and although the Nebraskan was
officially received by acting Mayor Nc
Aneny as the first ship TO make the com
plete trip. 1t Is fact that the Pleiades
left San Francisco on July 81. arriving
here on August 81. eight days before the
arrival OF the Nebraskan.
The mistake seems to lie with the
Mayor of San Francisco. who gave his
letter not to the first but to the second
ship to make the trip from San Fran
cisco through the canal The Pleiades is
one OF the Luckenbach Steamship Com
pany's line. by which regular saillngs
from New York every ten days for San
Pedro, San Francisco and Puget Sound
ports were announced recently.

a greater surprise to the friends OF the

Grand Jury In the Nassau county Court
House for murder in the first deree.
Her lawyer, George Levy, Immediately
pleaded not guilty for her and asked
that she be admitted TO bail. The re-
quest was refused by Justice Kelby and
the woman was forthwith remanded to
the custody Of the Sberiff. She will re-
main In the Nassau county Jail until her
trial. which will probably begin next
month before "A special session OF the
Supreme Court
Mrs Carman did not take the news OF
the new indictment with the same assur-
ance that characterized her attitude when
she stood In the Supreme Court room two
months ago and heard that she had been
indicted for granddaughter In the first
degree.
As she was conducted to the court room
to-day there was unmstakable nervous
ness In her bearing. At the announce
ment OF the indictment she swayed and
grasped the back OF chair before her to
steady herself
District A torney Smith would give no
intimation OF the character OF the new
evidence on which the Grand Jury has
indicted Mrs. Carman for murder lie did
say. however. that he produced four new
witnesses All OF the previous witnesses
were called again. A story Is gain ng
credtnce that enc OF the most important
exhibits In the new evidence Is "A revolver
said to have been found In the Carman
barn after the shooting.
This revolver Is OF the same calibre as
the one used t.: shooting Mrs. Bailey. a
box OF CARTRIDGES to TT IL had been found
previously In DIR. Carmans home The
box. however. had been unopened Or.
Carman testified that he couldn't remem-

the cartridges.
Since the first indictment Mrs. Carman
has been enjoying full liberty on bail Her
activities at Reeport have been much the
same as before the murder, Apparently
her health has been good. Immediately
after the nrst Indictment, when bail was
granted. she went to a farm belonging
to her husband for two weeks,
In some way, as yet unexplained. Mrs.
Carman learned that another indictment
was to be returned this afternoon. She
did not wait for arrest, but went OF her
own accord with her husband and law
yer to the Sherffs Office and said she was
ready to give herself up. She will prob
ably not be confined in a cell. but will be
permitted to use room in the Jail
usually occupied by the Sheriff himself.
