FATE OF GASSET
IN HANDS OF JURY

Answering the questions of Dis
trict Attorney Nichols and Deputy
District Attorney Simon with appar
ent frankness and candor, F. A. Gas
set, on trial. on a charge of assault
with a deadly weapon, took the wit.
ness stand this morning and recount
ed his version of the story in which
it is charged he smashed a bottle upon
the head of L. B. Kirby at the Oys.
ter Loaf Cafe at CaleXico last March
Gasset, on the stand, admitted that
he had inflicted the blow upon Kir-
by's head, but insisted that he had
struck only after Kirby had launched
a blow at his head. He flatly denied
that he had hurled the teapot
through the curtain in the booths.
His testimony throughout the time
he was on the stand was marked with
positive assurance and only in rare in
stances did he appear to falter in re-
plying to the volley of queries which
the prosecution directed at him.
He also. testified that Paul Dato,
with whom Kirby was sitting on the
evening of the alleged assault, had
waved his clenched fists and said,
"Why don't you hit me?" after he
had crashed the bottle upon Kirby's
mead. When asked by the district at
torney how hard a blow he had in
flicted upon Kirby's head, Gasset's
reply, that he had only struck him
hard enough to "take some of the
ginger out of him. caused a little
ripple of laughter over the court
room.
Paul Dato, brother-in-law to Gov
ernor Esteban Cantu of Mexical, tes-
tilted that he had been struck by the
teapot and, replying to the question
of Attorney Seymour, for the defense,
whether he was sure that it had been
tea, replied that he had removed some
of the tea leaves from his coat after
the excitement had subsidized.
Dato maintained an air of iocular-
ity on the stand, smiled frequently
and seemed to enjoy keenly the ques-
tions which were hurled at him by the
defense.
Kirby, in his testimony, asserted
positively that he had not struck at
Gasset.
Miss Diaz, a waitress at the Oyster
Loaf Cafe, testified that Gasset had
ordered a pot of tea on the evening
of the trouble and also testified that
the catsup bottle, with which the
blow was inflicted, had been the only
bottle on any of the tables in the
line of booths. Gasset previously had
testified that he had snatched the bot
tie from the table in the booth at
the extreme end of the cafe. after
Kirby had struck at him.
Arguments were begun shortly be-
fore 1890 this morning and it is ex-
pected the case will go to the jury
before noon.

The fact is appreciated that because
of it's successful operation in European
waters at the present time the sub
marine is the most talked of weapon of
present day warfare, yet few of the
veterans of the civil war have ever
seen one.
An effort is also being made to nave
one or more hydroplanes in the capital
for exhibition purposes.
1t is also the intention of the depart
ment to take there the old Hartford,
now at Charleston, S. c., restored to
the appearance she bore in the days of
the civil war when she was the flag
ship of Admiral Farragut.
The navy and the marine corps will
also be represented by their enlisted
personnel and probably some of the
vessels of the Atlantic fleet. 1t will be
possible for the bluejackets and marines
to be sent to Washington, as they
have on similar occasions, by special
steamer to remain during the day OF
the parade and form an impressive part
of the escort Of the veterans. The navy

AMID the carnage and slaughter of
~ the European war modern
surgery has advanced CEN
tury. Operations that had
never been conceived by the keenest
and most brilliant minds of world ia
nous surgeons are accomplished in the
military hospitals today by the youth
full doctors who but recently have been
graduated by American and European
schools and universities. Operations
which are described in no textbooks are
the most prosaic duties that the sur
gical staffs of the great European hos
pital fulfill every day.
To Americans thousands of miles
away from the war front and millions
of thoughts away from anything that
savors of the bellicose situation In Eu-
rope these operations possess an ele-
ment of the fantastic and romantic that
make US marvel at the wizardry of
those giants in white. But to the vic
tim and his savior in the hospitals,
where the odor of the anesthetic Is in
cense on the altar of professional de-
votion and sacrifice, these facts are but
the humdrum, conventional day in and
day out affairs that rob war of victims
and give science an opportunity to
triumph over the destructive engine of
war.
Think of Transforming a mans body
to conceal the physical discrepancies
that come in the wake of personal war;
fare 1t is a victory for medical SCI
ence that makes for the future of the
great profession. Without the war it
might have required 100 years to ac-
complish in surgery these plain tales of
the operating table.
And to conceive. too. that all these
major operations are performed while
the patient Is under the influence Of
only a local anesthetic is something to
marvel at. For a man to see himself
made over, perfectly conscious of the
workmanship and skill of the operating
| surgeon, and watching the latter s
| handiwork accomplish the unbelievable
is a forward step whose value is not to
| be ignored Wonderful is the local an
aesthetic that accomplishes this mar
velous conquest of pain and suffering.

| jured part. and there Is a deadenlng OF

Belgian Relief Commission Feeding Bread Line 600 Miles In Length

S.raas HE commission for relief in
B Belgium is the biggest com
missary undertaking the world
has ever seen. 1t feeds 7,000,-
900 people with foodstuffs drawn from
collection centers from 5000 to 5000
miles distant from the point Of dis
tribution When We realize not only
that the workers represent 100000 vol
unteer laborers, but that the members
of the organization include some of the
abest business and financial men in
the world, that five governments are
concerned and nearly every country is
making its contribution, it is sur
prising that we have had only glimpses
here and there of so vast a business.
There are between l40 and $50 re-
lief ships that are allowed by the Brit
ish, French and German admiralties
safe conduct to Rotterdam from vari-
Gus ports in the United States as we'll
as other countries.
Members of the commission are
granted immediate audience with the
cabinet ministers Of Europe, and the
German military authorities issue spe-
cial passes allowing members and
free movement in Belgium.
All ships unload at Rotterdam. The
arrival of a ship having been an
nounced, floating elevators are sent
along either side the moment she has
dropped anchor In the lower port Out
side of these floating elevators are 900
lighters or barges. These barges are
to carry the wheat or foodstuhs by ca
nal to their destinations in Belgium.
An accurate account is kept of each
barge, or cara few freight cars are
used>ss the eastern part-as 1t passes
the various stations. The speed with
which this work is done is ahead Of all
records A 5000 ton ship loaded with
wheat can be emptied in thirty-six
hours on 800 barges. which are imme-
diately towed by tugs through the ca
nails into Belgium. The Dutch govern
ment furnishes all facilities for unload
ing these ships.
There are In Belgium 120 principal
warehouses to which food is shipped
from Rotterdam. From these it is re-
shipped to small detailed districts or
