On cross examination, Manson's
first questions were directed to show
that WALTON and Rosenthal were
friends for hfte-n years but quarrel
ed bitterly about six months before
the killing. WALTON he.itated at first
TO admit the quarrel, but hard press

Referring to the round up Of thu
gunner In Webber's, Nanton sudden
ly said:

he turned fully toward the jury. Il

The cabinet today discussed tho
Mexican situation - very great
length. The gravity Of c0hditions, re-
sulring from the lack OF knowledge
regarding Consul Silliman and Private
Parks, was admitted but the matter
was left to the state and war depart
ments.
Secretary Bryan told the cabinet
that the two-day postponement OF the
Niagara Falls mediation conference
was at the request Of the Huerta on
VOWS. They sent word direct to the
mediators that there were number
OF matters they frst desired to thresh
out among themselves. While me o.
tensfble excuse was the long journey
and the difficulty Of close railroad
connections, It was believed that the
Huerta Representatives are tar from

An EFFICIENT ENGINEER
Ex-AIdernan Taylor Conmends the
Work of Mr.. TwombIy

To the Citizens and the Honora-
bile Board of Aldermen OF the City
OF Ocala: Yesterday, ar my request,
Mr. Twombly went thoroughly into
detail with me. over his report 10
the city council, showing plans and
estimates Of costs Of the improve
ments contemplated.
| am more than pleased with the
thorough and comprehensive man.
ner in which he has gone into the
matter and do not think any engi-
neer will improve upon them as
adapted to our requirements and
conditions.
The plans as laid out for the sewer
age system are practicable and FEAST
BILE and will fill our present needs
and provide for extension as our city
enlarges.
AS to the light ana water improve
ments, he has given choice of two
plants; one to be operated by steam
and the other by Diesel oil engines.
Both are the latest and most eco
nomical OF their types suited to our
requirements and conditions. While
the Diesel oil engines can be operat
ell some cheaper than the steam
plant, | would advise installing the
steam plant. as it is more dependa-
BILE. has less repairs and We will not
find it so hard to obtain engineers
that understand operating it as will
be the case If we use oil engines.
Either Of the two plans will enable
us to operate the consolidated plants
at about half of what it is now cost
ing, besides giving Us more fire pro-
lection and a better light and water
service and provide for our require
ments for several years to come.
Having the honor Of serving your
city as chairman of the electric
light and water committee on the
preceding council and having been
one of minority who opposed Mr..
Alex H. Twombly as engineer to
make preliminary plans and esti-
mates for a sewerage system and i'm
provements to our electric light and
water plants, because l then was
under the impression that another
firm applying for the work had more
experience in the designing of light
and water plants, in justice to Mr..
TWombly, and for the welfare and
interest OF the future Of our city,
am constrained TO let you know my
present opinion OF the matter.
I unhesitatingly advise ana rec
ommend that our council win make
no mistake in employing Mr.
Twombly to make the plans ani
supervise the construction of the
contemplated improvements, as from
all the information | can obtain, h
, is a man Of unquestioned integrit,
) and whose ability and experience a
an engineer is of the highest order
: and we can rest assured that our in
terests will be safeguarded and tax
en- care of if placed in his hands.
? Respectfully yours,

A scant teacupful -four to two quarts
Of new milk. Put three pints on to
boil in a tin pail set in kettle Of

other pint Of milk till smooth, then
stir it in the boiling milk. Let it boil
ten or fifteen minutes, and just before
taking it from the fire stir in one and
one-half pounds pulverized sugar; any
good white sugar will do. Care must
be taken to stir all the time after put
ting in sugar, only letting it remain
a moment, or just long enough to dis
solve it. Take from stove and strain
at once through crash towel. When
cold add one quart of cream. Flavor

KAYE COMFORT IN KITCHEN
Proper Placing Of Electric Fan VIII
Make Work Far Easier and Less
Trying to Temper.

For the woman who does her own
cooking there Is hardly any one thing
that can give SO much kitchen comfort
as an electric fan. | have one placed
on shelf diagonaIly In line with the
top Of the window. AS everyone
knows. heat, smoke and cooking doors
rise to the ceiling, and, unless given
an outlet, perrneate all the rooms.
Most apartment kitchens have one
window, often on a court. Unless
there is q good breeze circulating out
side the hot air will not go out very
quickly, even if the window is open at
the top; at least, not quickly enough
to prevent smoke and odors from eS-
Gaping into the other rooms. An cleo
trio fan placed as have said Will IN
stantly drive the hot or smoky air out
at the top Of the window, and an IN
coming stream Of cool air Will De
forced through the lower opening or
the window.
A 16-inch electric fan costs about
fourteen dollars. II you already have
an electric fan and don't know just
where to put it in order to make II
do the greatest amount Of good posi-
BILE, try it in the kitchen, and COOK IN
COOL smokeless, odorless comfort

MILITARY DISCIPLINE.

In many ways military organization Is the most
peaceful Of activities. When the contemporary
man steps from the street, Of camorous lnsln'
cere advertisement push, adulteration, underseli-
ing and intermittent employment, into the bar
backyard he steps on to a higher social plane
into an atmosphere Of service and cooperation
and of infinitely more honorable emulations
Here at least men are not flung out of employ
ment to degenerate because there is no imme.
date work for them to do They are fed and
drilled and trained for better services Here at
least a man is supposed to win promotion by
self-forgetfulness and not by self-seeking And
beside the feeble and irregular endowment Of re-
search by commerciasm, its little short-sighted
snatches at profit by innovation and scientific
economy see how remarkable is the steady and
rapid development of method and appliances ip
naval and military affairs!
Nothing is more striking than to compare the
progress Of civil conveniences which has been
left almost entirely to the trader, to the progress
in military apparatus during the last few decades
The house appliances of today for example, are
little better than they were so years ago. A
house of today is still almost as ill-ventilated,
badly heated by wasteful fires, clumsily arranged
and furnished as the house of 1858. Houses a
couple of hundred years old still satisfactory
places of residence, so little have our standards
risen. But the rife or battleship of so years ago
was beyond all comparison inferior to those We
possess in power, In speed, in convenience alike.
No one has a use now for such superannuated
things.
The conceptions of order and discipline, the
tradition of service and devotion, of physical fit
ness, unstinted exertion and universal RESPONSE.
bility which universal military duty is now teach
ing European nations will remain a permanent
acquisition, when the last ammunition has been
used in the fireworks that celebrate the final
peace.-H G. Wells

This will keep them flexible and pre-
vent the leather from cracking.
