il was i"none Of Berkman's business

the court sustained the objection.
AT one point in TIE examination
Berkman was told by the court that
he must not> make speeches." to
which Berkman replied that he twas

Berkman wanted to argue with the
court, but was promptly stopped when

"Your honor, may l say some

"No," said Judge Mayer, emphati-
cally. "Sit down." She obeyed.
Seven talesmen were examined dur

WOMAN SHOOTS HUSBAND.

Mrs. Minnie Carter, Frostburg. Md,
Driven to Desperation by His Bru-
tally.
Cumberland, Md, June 2S.-Tying
his hands to the side of the bed, Mrs.
Minnie Carter, Of Hoffman, near
Frostburg, shot her husband to death
early yesterday morning while he
slept. She declares she grew des-
perate because of his incessant i'll
treatment and the pistol was her only
means of defense.
On Tuesday night Carter came
home drunk and tore up her garden,
with which she had taken great pains
in order to reduce the family's food
bills. Not satisfied with this de-
struction, the husband went into the
kitchen and spattered dirty water
over the walls which Mrs. Carter
had just papered.
After Carter went to bed Mrs. Car
ter sat up most of the night, and
this morning, while he lay in a
stupor from his drinking, she tied
his hands to the side of the bed and
fired three shots into his body.
Mrs. Carter recently came out of a
hospital and was frail and weak from
an operation. During his rampage
| Tuesday Carter hurled her from the
house, knocking her unconscious by
the blow.
Mrs. Carter was brought to Jail
She expressed sorrow for her act last
night, saying:
81 did not kill him because i hated
him, for I loved him when he was
sober, but he made me do it. am
sorry now that he is dead"
She said they had been married
three years and lived happily the
first two until Carter began to drink.
She told of his having thrown her
off the porch last Sunday.
The couple had been married be-
fore.

ANARCHISTS DEFEND SELVES

New York, June 2S.-Alexander
Berkma1 who, with another anarchist
is ON trial in. the United States dis
trict court here for conspiracy TO
obstruct the operation of the se.ec-
tive draft law, was warned repeated
w Yesterday by Judge julius NJ
MAYER that in examining talesmen
for the jury he must confne himself
to questions relevant to the case.
Earlier in the day Berkman and MISS
Goldman had dismissed their attor-
new and announced that they would
conduct their own defense.
Berkman asked talesmen whether
they believed in patriotism, whether
thew were Christians, and what their
social interests were. Objection" by
the prosecution to the question con-
cern,lg patriotism was on the ground
that it was Insulting" and Judge
MAYER, in sustaining the objection
characterized it Gas a most extra
ordinary question"
2ne query concerning Christianity
was met with the objection that it
was "absolutely improper" Before a

FLOUR DOWN so CENTS.
Now Selling From $3.50 to $3.50 a
Barrel And Further Decline Ex-
pected.

peCteQ.
Baltimore, June 28.-Flour prices
were further reduced in this market
Yesterday, the price of the winter
wheat brands being marked down %
and so cents a barrel, while the
Gambrill Manufacturing Company,
the largest millers in this section,
reduced its prices so cents a barrel.
Although this is encouraging news to
the housekeepers, there is still a
marked difference between the prices
now and at the same time a year
ago, in spite of the reduction. Prices
of flour at wholesale are still more
double than of last year.
Flour has declined from So to S.
a barrel, according to grade, since
May Ia. when it reached about its
highest limit. At that time wheat
was selling near $3.50 a bushel, and
the best grades of flour were bring
ing $3.50 and SIT barrel wholesale.
Then the lowest grade was bringing
$3.50 barrel. The best grades
are now about $3.50 wholesale and
the lower grades about $3.50.
The price of spot wheat was $40
a bushel, against S2.45 Tuesday. The
nominal condition of the market
makes the actual Erlce here hard to
determine. This can only be settled
after the new crop has begun to move
which the grain merchants expect
will be esrly next week.
Many of the grain merchants who
haze examined the samples sent in

Liable to Force Country Into Al

Christiania, June 2S.--The German
legation yesterday protested to the
Norwegian government against the
breaking of diplomatic seals on the;
trunk; of Aaron Rautenfels, thus eS-
posing plot to destroy peaceful
shipping. The trunk contained bombs.
Rantenfels posed as dispatch bearer
from the German foreign office and
claimed the privilege Of having his
baggage kept secret.
London, June 28.-Norway has
reached crisis in her relations with
Germany. Judging from information
reaching here, there is reason to be-
lieve. she will not submit tamely to
Germany's arrogant demands as to
her commerce and shipping, despite
her desperate desire to maintain
peace.
Wen-inforned Norwegians in Lon
don recognize the military purpose
Of Germany's continued and illegal
destruction of Nor7Say's shipping.
They see the reasons for Germany's
systematic campaign to wipe out Nor
wegian ships by submarines no less
than the remarkable German bomb
plots recently uncovered at Chris
tiania. The German campaign has al
ready reduced Norwegian shipping
by almost third of its total before
the war tonnage. If it is continued it
means the practical elimination OF
the nations shipping.
Norway is now exporting great
quantities Of fish, iron ore and nickel

IRWIN GIVES OPINION
ON BOOZE TO SOLDIERS
Especial Star Bulletin Corrsspoadsucs.)

HILO, Aug. 3.-The question reIa-
tive to whether or not a soldier In
the regulation uniform of the U. s.
A. could be served with liquor at
the home Of a civilian friend, and
which was propounded at the last
meeting Of the members Of the
Hilo board of trade, has been ans
wered to a certain extent in deci-
sion given by Judge Harry Irwin, to
whom the matter was finally referred.
In part, Judge Irwin said:
Il have no hesitancy, whatsoever,
in saying to you that bonafide gift
of liquor to a member Of the military
forces, whether in uniform or out, in
any place and at any time, would not
be a violation Of the law, according
to section II of the liquor act.
However, as the district attorney
has been appealed to in regard to the
final disposition of the knotty Ques-
ton, his reply is looked forward to
with unusual interest. Judge Irwin s
opinion is in line with that Of Attor-
ney Carlsmith, who gave similar def
milton Of the law at the last meet
ing of the members Of the Hilo board
Of trade.

President Himself Might Do
His Bit with Speech or
Open Letter

Washington, D, c., Aug. lO,-Congess
may turn itself into great Chautauqua
when it finishes work here, to enlghten
every section of the country on the need
for prosecuting the war vigorously, not
only as war for world democracy but
as fight for American rights and pres
ervation.
President Wilson himself may do his
bit" in the same direction, possibly by
a speech on some occasion or by letter
to congressional leaders.
Congress leaders were talking of vir-
tually putting Congress on the stump by
asking every representative and sena-
tor to go through his district during the
recess, speaking on the part of the
United States in the war, and emphasiz-
ing that the United States is fighting
for the future, not of the world, but
of itself.
Those who favor the plan point out
that the country is hearing many agi-
tators who oppose the draft and partici-
patton in the war, They think that fla
hers and mothers of sons called to the
,olors should hear something on the
,ther side of the question and from Off
,ial sources.
