rectly from violent blows.
His testimony is considered by

mann said this morning he would
call Amos probably tomorrow.
"The body was fairly we'll nour-
ished but was covered with dark
spots.' said DIR. James. Some
OF these might have been caused
lby smart blows OF the hand or. by
pinching the flesh between the

DIR. James marked on black

tinued, Is more elastic than that
Of an older person, and blows
might have been administered
even with the back of q small ak
, without cutting the scalp or
cracking the skull.
Death In this case was un-
doubtedly produced by hemor-

blows. 1t is impossible that
either of the death wounds could
have been caused by the child

He referred to Mrs. Diffley's
statement of the cause of Clar-
ence's death.
Even had the boys head
struck a raised object" DR..
James went on, such wounds
could not have been sustained in
a fall"
On cross examination the sur
geon admitted that blows OF
slight severity might have pro-
duced most of the bruises evident
on the dead boys body.
Hall, father Of the murdered
boy, testified yesterday afternoon
on cross examination that he had
spoken to Mrs. Diffley of mar
riage. He said she told him It
would be wrong for her to marry
him on account of her more adj
vaneed age.

stitution Is Great Achievement.
New York, Oct. ia six-year pres
idential term, the adoption of real
budget making reform, and the extern
sion of the presidents power to veto
were ardently favored by ex-President
w. H. Taft, in lecture on "The Pres
idency, Its Power, Responsibilities and
Restrictions" at Columbia university.
Mr.. Taft urged a presidential term
of six or seven years and stated as
his reason for his belief in long
term the increase Of administrative
efficiency that would result thereby. He
singled out the new constitution OF
New York stat cas- the finest piece of
work in constitutional law yet devised
and heaped praise on the measures
which will place in the hands Of the
governor full power to initiate the
budget of state expenditures and the
taking away from the legislature the
power to make appropriations of all
kinds for favored local constituent
cies.

This is thought to mean Vlasotince,
a Serbian town, twenty-five miles east
of the Serbian railroad running north
and south between Nish and Uskub,
and Is about twenty miles west of the
Bulgarian frontier on a ratitudinal line
with Sofia.
The Serbian railroad, which is the
objective of the Bulgarian army in
this region, as it serves as the main
road over which Anglo-French troops
landed at Saloniki, Greece, can be
transported into northern Serbia, runs
parallel to the Bulgarian western
frontier at distance varying from
eighteen to thirty-six miles.
The Bulgarian divisions are engaged
in the attack on the Serbians near
