The Murder Plate. DvidOonrrt Fla r.r,1 CT


 The Plate attached to Becker's coffin. by his widow, was merely the expression of tense and overwhelm- ing grief, from Becker's widow. or course Governor Whitman will not bring an action against her. nor per- init one to be brought. He will at tribute the action to the emotions of a loving and courageous woman, who was faithful to the last to man who deserved little of the rest of the world.
 If Becker had thought little more about the rights of his wife, he would have been less inconsiderate of the rights of society, and so a tragedy might have been spared. Mrs. Bec- ker deserves place beside Mrs. Thaw, in the galaxy of heroines who have fought bravely in a cause to them worthy, however unworthy in the opinion of the rest of the world.

SECRETARY WILSON
 LAUDS SEAMEN'S ACT
Places It on Par With Magma Chsssa, Declaration of Independence and
 Constitution of the U. s.

Constitution of the U. s.
 San Francisco, Aug. 5.--W B. Will son, secretary of labor. in an address here last night before the convention of the International Seamen's Union, placed the Seamen's act on a par with the Magma Charta, declaration of independence, constitution of the United States and emancipation pro- clamation.
 Tt means the freedom of all sea- men," he said, "on any ship of every nationality trading with United States ports. It Is absurd to believe that this act will drive American ships from the sea. In effect it will place ship owners of all nationalities on an equality, as the foreign seamen will not be long in demanding the same privileges that the bill gives to the seamen of this country.
 T am not a prophet" MT. Wilson continued, but I want to say that the Pacific Mail ships will neither go out of business nor from under the American flag. Regarding the Rob ert Dollar ships, everybody knows that these vessels were not placed un- der the American flag until the war broke out. The shrewd old Scot did not want his ships sunk. When he applied for American register it was with the understanding that it was only for the duration of the war"

Of the right or SlnkluG.
 ! The question of whether the Ger man commander acted legally was primarily a subject for the consider ation of the German prize courts ac- cording to general principles of inter national law, as laid down also in Article 1 of the Hague convention for the establish ment of an international prize court and in Article 51 of the Declaration of London.
 The German government conse- quently laid the case of the William P. Frye before the competent prizc court at Hamburg, as was stated ia it's note of,.the 7h ultimo. This court found by it's Judgement of the 10th instant that the cargo of the Ameri- can vessel William P. Frye was con- traband, that the vessel could not be carried into port and that the sinking was therefore jusified; at the same time the court expressly recognized the validity of the Prussian- American treaty stipulations severally (omis- sion) model for the relations be- tween the German empire and Amer lea, so that the sinking of the ship and cargo, so far as American prop erty, makes the German empire lia- ble for indemnity.
 The prize court was unable to fix the indemnity itself. since it had no data before it, failing the receipt Of the necessary details from the parties interested.
 Expects to Fix Indemnity
 It will now be necessary to settle these points in a different way. The simplest way that each of the two governments designate an expert and that the two experts jointly fix the amount of indemnity for the vessel and any American property which may be sunk with her. The German government will promptly pap the amount of indemnity thus ascertainsd it expressly declares. however, revert ing to what has been stated above

MINNESOTA CORN

OF CROPS PROSPECTS.
SEED CORN WILL BE SCARCE
Farmers Urged to Pick All Corn Which
Has Reached Dent Stage-ShouId
Avoid Damage BY Heavy
Frosts.

st. Paul.-The corn outlook for Min
nesota is far more encouraging than it
was two weeks ago, or even one week
ago. 1t looks now as if there would
be O fair supply of Minnesota grown
seed corn for next springs planting
If every one who has corn which has
reached the dent stage gets out and
picks.
This, at least, Is the situation as far
as It can be judged from reports re-
ceived at the Minnesota Experiment
Station.
Two weeks ago Dean A. F. Woods,
Andrew Boss, A. D. Wilson, and others
at the Minnesota station, pronounced
the corn outlook desperate. Now they
speak hopefully of the crops prospects.
Vigilance on the part of the farmer
who wishes to get the most out of
his crop, should not be relaxed, how
ever, say the men at the Station.
Seed corn is going to be scarce. Ev-
cry farmer, who can, should pick
enough for himself and as much in
addition as he can find. All of this
he should store on racks or in strings
in warm, well-ventilated place. His
surplus will find a ready market at
good prices next spring.
The farmer who has no corn may
save himself something in cost by buy
ing permission to select seed corn in
the field of some neighbor whose corn
has matured more rapidly.
The picking should be done in time
to avoid heavy frosts. The weather
should be observed with watchful eye,
say the experts, and if there are signs
of drop in temperature, that may
indicate frost, picking should begin at
once and be rushed with vigor.
