And the results are all to the credit of the widow who is to marry the president.
 The genealogical record places her ninth ill line from the Indian maid who saved Capt. John Smiths life and later married John Rolfe when she thought Smith was dead. Rolfe and his bride went to England, where Pocahcntas was accorded a royal re- ception. The couple had a son, Thomas Rolfe, who came to Virginia after he grew up. He had daugh- ter, Jane, who in 1875 married Rob- ert Boiling, founder of the present Boiling family of Virginia.
 As Miss Edith Boiling of Wy'he ville, Va., reigning belle, Mrs. Gals married her late husband 19 years ago. Norman Gait was at that time associated with his father in the famous old firm of jewellers and silversmiths, which has been one of the landmarks of Washington for nearly century. At the time of his deah seven years age he was the leading partner, while after his deata his widow is said to have purchased the interest Of other members of the Gait family, and is now said to be sole owner of the business. This IS managed by one of MT. Galts several brothers, and it's disposition is one of the matters that may be adjusted be- fore the marriage of it's owner and the president.
 As the daughter of a leading lawyer of her native county, the presidents fiancee was educated at the bcst schools of that region, and later at tended the Martha Washington school at Abingdon, Va, and finally ths Powell college at Richmond.

Since sudden fame has come to Mrs. Galt her old neighbors have paid her the highest possible compliments in their testimonials of the ideal life or her family and the high esteem in which she as Edith Boiling was held.

made the following statement:
The kindest Interpretation that can

he had been asked by Beer TO interest

that the Dominican government had
expected to spend s6,000,000 on pub

BY ALICE ROHE.

(StdH Correspondent United PresS.D
ROME, Jan. 21.-The prediction OF
a toothless old seeres that central and
southern Italy would be visited by the
most terrific earthquake In the world $
history on Jan. 25, caused widespread
panic among the poorer and supersti-
ticus classes today.
A wrinkled-fa old woman in a
little village OF Abruzzi is held respon-
sible for the circulation OF the report.
Claiming TO possess wonderful clair
voyant powers, she told her neighbors
tnat the coming of another earth
quake had been foretold TO her. Whole
cities would be reduced TO ruins, she
said, and the loss OF life would great
ly exceed that In last weeks quakes
The report spread quickly through
AvezZano and other towns where res
cuers were still searching for bodies
OF victims OF the recent quakes. Ref
ugees huddled together in tents and
sheds We're thrown into wild panic.
Some fell on their knees, weeping
and wringing their hands as they
prayed. Others congregated near the
ruins OF churches and discussed the
story in tones OF awe.
When news OF the report reached
Rome every effort was made to keep
II from reaching the lower classes
here. Active steps were taken to have
the clergy and officials in the stricken
districts call the people together and
ridicule the story
The bitter gale that hindered the
work OF rescue yesterday had some
what abated today and the work OF
digging into wrecked buildings In the
ruined cities continued.

FATE HINGES ON
One LITTLE WORD
Did Doherty Say He Would
or Could Put Schmidt Out
of Business?

DID former State Food Inspector
Robert j, Doherty tell Christian
Schmidt that he would" put Schmidt
out of business. IL Schmidt failed to
pay certain money To Doherty9 or did
he say he could" IL he wished?
On that question the defense OF
Dcherty seems to hinge, In Judge
Phelan's court, where the jury viii be
asked to decide Doherty.s fate. Thurs
DAY afternoon
Doherty Andrew Rake and Light
hill aSe all charged with extorting
bribes from Christian Schmidt, pro-
duce dealer, now missing from the
city, by threatening 10 condemn eggs
hello in storage by Schmidt.
Doherty the first one 10 be tried,
the informations being filed separate
Ily, admits receiving money from
Schmidt, but denies any extortion. He
declares he did tell schmidt that the
inspectors could" put him out OF busi-
ness, but denies that he said they
would" do so il Schmidt hadn't
come across"
That small question caused Judge
Phelan TO order Prosecutors Stenog-
rapher Walter Kreinbring to bring in
the original notes that lie made In
shorthand, instead OF the transcript
from the notes.
The defense was very sensitive
about the use OF the word graft by
the prosecution.
Assistant Prosecutor Robinson had
asked Doherty: "Well. what were you
getting this graft for?" and Attorney
Thomas Mahon promptly objected.
THE prosecutor may use the term
graft II he chooses" Judge Pnelan
ruled. 1T Is for the jury to deter
mine whether II was graft or not"
Doherty declared that he took the
money, under promise to Schmidt
that if he were paid S25. he would see
TO II that no upstate deputies" both
erred Schmidt.
Joohn Lighthill, one OF the indicted
inspectors. testified In Doherty's be-
half, telling the same story.
II the three men had been tried un-
der one information, none or them
could have taken the stand for q CO
defendant unless he first pleaded
guilty, and Judge Phelan was disposed
10 wonder why the prosecution filed
isepGrate informations. under the cir
Icumstances.
Doherty admitted. under cross-exam-
nation, that he had allowed Schmidt
to switch" samples OF seized eggs,
and have good eggs sent for analysis
when bad eggs were seized.
1T was LighthilPs case, not nine
said Doherty, "and / didn't deem Il
nv business when Schmidt switched
the samples"
did you think that was just right?"
! he was asked, and he replied, NO
but u was Lighthilps affair. not mine" "
Tho case will go TO the jury Thurs
! day fiernoon.
