Sam H. Clark returned Yesterday

the past ten days in connection with
the trial of Doctor Charles Fl. Hunter

The trial of Doctor Hunter has been
extremely sensational and owing to
the prominence of the physician, has
been closely observed by the people OF
Minneapolis, where Hunter has prac-
ticed for nearly forty years. Hunter
is charged with having performed a
criminal operation upon the person OF
Lena RUNNERS, which operation re-
suited in her death. 49,. ..
The Hunter trial at this time is pc
culiarly significant, coming as it does
on the eve of the trial of Sam Clark
and c. H. Crockard, publishers OF Jim
Jam Jems, inasmuch as the very story
upon which the boys will be brought
to trial here next week was the fore
runner Of the several Doctor Hunter
exposes" published in jim Jam Jems.
When asked about the Hunter trial
Mr.. Clark simply said that the state
had proved its case very conclusively,
and while it sens almost impossible
to convict Doctor lEIunter in Mime

see a conviction this time although a
disagreement is generally looked for.

ALL SIGNS POINT TO SEWARD
MEXICO CITY
 FEARS FAMINE
STATE OF CHAOS EXISTS THERE UNDER LEAD OF
 OBREGON.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-RepOrts from Mexico City received here show that the capital of the so-c1alled re- public is now in a state bordering on chaos. It is declared that Obregon himself is actually melting the Car ranza people to loot the property of their opponents and the people as a whole are facing famine. Some of the accounts describe a condition so ter rible that it is hard to give them credence. It seems to be apparent, nevertheless, that never has a city been reduced to such abominable straits. The trains are said to have stopped running for the use of the public and are being used only on off cial business. Ccrowds of civilians are being forced into the Carranza army and are going through a com pulsory training. Civil law is really a thing of the past and tyranny exists that would be disgrace to a nation of savages.

NEW YORK'S ANTI ALIEN
 LAW HAS BEEN SUSPENDED.
Supreme Court Sees Danger in Re fusing to Let Aliens be Engag-

WASHINGTON, March 5.-The supreme court of the United States today suspended the New York law prohibiting the employment of aliens on public works. The law was passed as a precaution against spying by the agents of foreign countries. The supreme court suspends it merely to give time to the New York legislature to reconsider it's position. The man. ner in wEich spying is carried out by military powers has been revealed fin the present war and shows a remark able condition of affairs in the great military nations. The sponsors of the bill mentioned amongst other in- stances that when the Russians re- gently captured a Zeppelin at Libau, Russia, two of the German crew were found to be men who had worked as barbers in Libau before the war.

TURKS PLAY POSSUM
 TO FOOL THEIR ENEMIES.

LONDON, March Ave are here very near Adam and Eve. s abode, the Garden of Edeu," writes a lance cor pOral with the British forces fighting the Turks in the country back of the Persian gulf.
 "It is very hot, and the country is no place for white man. We live on bread, tea and dates. The greatest hardship is the scarcity of water. l have not had shave or a wash for seventeen days.
 "We captured two forts and tele- graph office yesterday without the loss of a man. The Turks lost forty. Some of the methods of the. Turks in action are curious. A favOrite trick of theirs is to fall down in close action as if dead, and then, after the line of British has passed them, they get up again and fire at them from behind.
 "While retreating, the Turks ire quently discard numerous articles of clothing, lest they should impede their flight. Before their retreat has lasted long, they have on nothing but their shirts and ammunition belts. No mat ter how hot the fighting is, one can not refrain from laughing at the spectacle of several hundred men run hing at top speed with their long shirts Tapping around their bare legs"

SLOT MACHINES STOPPED
 BECAUSE OF DISPUTE.
Story Told that Quarrel Between Cor doya Paper and Commissioner
 Brought About the Order.

Travelling men who have arrived here from the towns below us on the coast declare that the order to re- move slot machines from operation is due to a quarrel that occurred between the Cordova Alaskan and the United States commissioner of that town. It is said that the Alaskan accused Com missioner Adams of having a slot machine in operation in his drug store. The charges were heard by Judge Brown while the latter was at Cor dova a few days ago and the charges were declared by him to have no foundation The story goes, however, that after the whole matter became known the authorities made the order to have slot machines cut out alto gether all over the division.

ROBBERS RAID
 WINDY CITY
GET LOOT FROM SIXTY-TWO STORES IN SPITE OF
 POLICE ARMY.

CHICAGO, March 5.-The most ex- traordinary raid of robbers in the history of this city took place today when four daring thieves held up six ty-two stores in different parts of Chicago and terrorized the whoe pop ulation. The men first stole an auto mobile and racing from one part of the city to the other at a terrific speed held up one store after the other. Forty police on motor cycles chased the marauders but failed to reach their men and the thieves are now free. For three hours the robbers and their auto sped from point to point and with a dexterity and nerve that was nothing less than amazing they did just what they liked. If the city had been entered by the advance guard of an invading army the sen sation could hardly have been greater. To make the occurrence all the more remarkable the slightest clue has not been found to the whereabouts of the robbers and there is every likelihood that they will never be apprehended.

LOST TWENTY THOUSAND
 DOLLARS PLAYING POKER
Los Angeles Justice of the Peace in Trouble for Using Fines to
 Pay Gambling Debts.

LOS ANGELES, March 5.-GeOrge Melrose, former justice of the peace, has been indicted for embezzelement. The charge is that he used the fines received from prisoners in his court to pay his gambling losses. He is said to have lost twenty thousand dollars playing poker in two years. There seems to be not the slightest loophole of escape for him and he will probably plead guilty. It has been known for some time that he gambled for large sums but he carried so good a reputation that the discovery of his was delayed.

 "The administration is now in full possession of the Alaska Northern terminal of the government railroad and Seward is already virtually the terminal of the government railroad system
 It was even doubted that telling this much would be proper but the paper is not bound by anything con tained in the communication to re- frain from saying so much.

ENGLISH CANON NOT
 TO PRAY FOR VICTORY.
Another Objects to Praying for
 Animals,

LONDON, March Apr. William Carnegie, Canon of Westminster, an- nounced to his parishOners on "Inter- cession Sunday" that he would not comply with the request that had been made of him to pray for the success of British arms. He said: Among the things which I hold should not be prayed for-I mention it with great hesitation, but feel it my duty, since it is set forth in the seventh section Of the authorized form-is the triumph of our cause. We hold that our cause is righteous, but our foes are equally convinced that righteousness is on their side. God is the judge, and we must pray for submission to his will' whatever be the issue"
 The movement of animal lovers to introduce a special prayer for animals into the service also has no support in the higher clergy, if at all in the clergy of the English Church.
 q cannot sanction for use in church the Litany which contains a prayer for the animals and speaks of them as offering their guileless lives" says Dr. Gore, Bishop of Oxford. "lt has never been the custom of the church to pray for any other than those we think are rational. It is a complete mistake to suppose the orthodox churches would countenance any such prayers. We can, of course, pray for men that they may be kind to animals"

ASKS PROTECTION.

LONDON, March 5.-The British Governments scheme for creating a national aniline dye industry is ai- most certain to lead to tariff protec- tion for the infant industry, according to the Express.
 'Unless some kind of protection is included in the plan," says this news paper, "the manufacture of these dyes can scarcely be expected to survive German competition after the war Unless this tariff wall is set up, cap italists cannot be induced to put their money into an enterprise which can have no chance against the powerful tariff-prOtected German combine when peace comes"

The members of the commission seem ed to be deeply in earnest to secure the full facts to prove this statement and it is quite possible that if the railroads can show their word to De true greater latitude will be given them.
