NOVEL INDUSTRY
 IN NEW ZEALAND
Dredging Swamp For Gum, Also
 Work of Reclamation

SYDNEY, N. s. w., Aug. 22-An experiment of considerable interest is being embarked on in New Zealand where a company with a capital of $150,000 has recently been formed for the purpose of working the first gum dredge in the Dominion. Never be- fore has dredging been applied to with the gum, which is known to exist in large quantities in many of the sWamps in the northern peninsula.
 A gold dredge is being altered to the requirements of gum dredging and will be capable of dealing with some 6,G00 yards of wash dirt per day. The whole of the gum, it is claimed, may be extracted from the soil and cleaned by means of special appli- ances. There are many thousands acres of swamp in the gum bearing areas of the north and it is antici- pated that the dredge about to be placed in commission will be the forerunner of many others There is now good demand for the cheaper classes of gum, great. deal of which is found in the swamps, and the prospects of gum dredging are regard ed as very bright.
 Special appliances are to be pro- vided for the removal of stumps and logs from the swamp ahead of the dredge 'The swamps after being dredged will be drained, and will then be available for cultivation. The land will make excellent dairying country and should be brought into profitable occupation shortly after the gum is extracted.

NEW PROGRAM-Tl

NEW PRoGRAM-The Plaza today presents a special six reel program that will afford the best entertainment off cred at this popular theater for some time. Leading the long list is a three reel film, Buffalo Bill' in which the famous old fighter is featured as well as some of the Indians who took part
 in his fights With him. It is quite a remarkable production and would make any program notable; but in addition there is another big feature in two reels Within the Enemy's Lines, a picture of peculiar interest coming just at this time and single reel 'Child of the Prairie" Manager Canavess had expected to offer "On the Firing Line" but the films failed to arrive and he then made special arrangements for this big six reel bill.

 The regulations under the new law are already in course of preparation by the bureau of navigation.

DRUGGIST UPON
MURDER CHARGE
LOS ANGELES MAN ACCUSED OF
STAINING NIEE SUPPOSED TO
HAVE BEEN n SUICIDE.

Los Angeles. Calif.-Two minutes
in court. the time required to arraign
the prisoner, started yesterday what
is expected to be a long legal battle
against the state for the life of John
Grondin, chemist AUD undertaken,
charged with the murder OF his wife,
Zelia, daughter of a Waterville, Me.
druggist under the guise of suicide.
Grondin's preliminary hearing was
set for February 3.
As it now appears, the case will be
a struggle between contradictory
handwriting experts, who have exam
med the suicide note which Gron-
din alleged his wife wrote to him just
before she inhaled gas and died last
October. The note, telling of alleged
breaches of fidelity, caused the father
OF Mrs. Grondin, George Davieau, to
institute an inquiry. Two handwrit-
ing experts have had the hand writing
under examination and today one OF
them announced positively hat the
note had been written by Grondin.
while the second was equally positive
that ii had been written by Mrs. Gron
din. One of the experts represented
the prosecution, the other the de

Detectives employed by Grondin's
counsel spent the day in a fruitless
search for the ghost which Grondin
said was made to appear Saturday
night when detectives were giving
the "third degree" in an effort to
elicit Il confession.

MRS. GIFFIN ON
WITNESS STAND
SAYS SHE DIDN'T KNOW GUN WAS
LOADED WHEN SHE KILLED
HER HUSBAND.

Ipswich, S. D.-Thc trial OF Mrs.
Maud Gilfin, of Leola, S. d., charged
with the murder of her husband,
George Giffin, at Leola. March 81,
1913. took rather an unexpected
turn when the defendant went on
the stand in her own defense. 1t
had been thought all along that the
defense put up to the charge would
be that of self defense, but really
proved TO be the accidental discharge
OF a shotgun.
The trial was dramatic n highly
sensational Saturday, the defendant
proving an excellent witness. Her
story was to the effect that her hus-
band returned home in the evening
after a poker game with II of the
attorneys for the prosecution, on the
day of the killing. He was intoxicat-
ed and began to abuse her and
strike her. She attempted, to pack a
grip to leave for Pierre, where she
had relatives, when he anne into. the
bedroom and renewed his abuse. She
seized q shotgun standing in the bed
room and attempted to strike him
! with the muzZle of il. He grabbed
the II with one hand and dragged
her to the door with other, intend
ing, as she says he said. to throw
both her and the gun out of doors.
Just as he started to unlatch the
screen door she wrenched the gun
from him and struck him over the
! back with it, the gun exploding in
her hands. She declared that she
did not know that the gun was load
ed, and the testimony of a nephew
was introduced showing that he had
'thoughtlessly left the gun loaded the
day before upon his return from a
hunting trip. - So 81
