it the second time would depend upon whether he is so constituted that he feels enjoyment in having his emotions stirred. It is a powerful picture, the most stirring ever seen on the screen. It is a preparedness picture, made es- pecially to put the nation in the nina for war, and is now being used to en- courage enlistment of man power and financial and moral support It is said of it that when one sees it he wants to go out and fight.
 The picture was given a trial run at the Hip yesterday morning in the pres ence of officers of the national guard and others interested in the national defense.
 It shows the successful invasion of this country by the armies of Ruri- tania, the capture of New York after it had been bombed from the air and by the powerful Ruritanan fleet; the fu tile attempts by the national guard and the untrained thousands to stem the tide of invas It abounds in pitiful scenes, disclosing the helplessness of the great pacifist nation. After the en- emy had captured the entire north eastern part of the country the belated work of preparedness begins and final ly ends in the defeat of the invader.

member of the railroad war board, told Clifford w Thorne. representing ship pers who cross examined him, that he favored some scheme of pooling cars and terminals should it be necessary in the interests of national defense. He also believed it desirable that govern ment agency be created to tell the railroads just what was desired of them
 He was questioned regarding a set of economy suggestions issued by the war board These proposed such economies as speeding up repairs on locomotives and cars, increasing the running time of locomotives reducing boiler repairs and more careful steaming.
 MT. Elliott said he thought most of the changes suggested were practica ble that they were intended to result in increased efficiency of the railroads, and that up to a certain point they did not contemplate any additions to capi- tai. He said the war board felt that if everything suggested could be done the capacity of the railroads would be greatly increased but he did not be- lieve all the things could be accom- plished because of the human element entering into the opera tion of railroads. Regarding traffic on the New Haven system MT Elliott said in response to MT. Thorne's inquiries that had more terminal facilities been established last year the road would have reaped 9
 larger gross and net income. He said the Hell Cate bridge route would assist | the railroads in handling freight at the New York terminal and consequently
 would result in lessening congestion which even now was improving each day.
 Julius Kruttschnitt, chairman of the southern Pacific, Was questioned first regarding the timber lands owned by the system. Mir. Thorne introduced figures he said were compiled by the government showing that the Southern Paclflc owns one-twentieth of all the
 privately owned timber lands in the country. MT. Kruttschnitt said it was
 true that the Southern Pacific's return on it's capital stock last year was sligh. ly over F per cent and the greatest return in history.
 Cross examination of railroad exec utives will be concluded tomorrow.

thorities took up the case and an au- topsy showed MT. Peck had died from arsenic poisoning.
 Dr. Waite confessed to the district attorney that ne had bought arsenic three days before the death of his father-in- law on aMrch F, but said he had done so on request of the elderly man who told him he wished to com init suicide as he was Respondent over the death of his wife, who died on Jan uary 30, twenty days after she had arrived at Dr. Waites home here. To
 bear out this statement Dr. Waite tried
 to bribe former aegro servant to
 testify that she knew of MT. Pecks de
 sire to commit sufcile.
 AS the evidence against him began tt
 accumulate Dr. Waite made an unsuc-
 cessful attempt to kill himself by talk
 ing an overdose of drugs. For several
 days he lay in a stupor lowering be-
 tween life and death.
 It was brought out at the trial that a few hours after Dr. Waite married Miss Clara Peck he complained to her about the money settlement made on him. He had been promised S0,000 but his Wife's father instead of giving him a lump sum, provided payment of $500 monthly.
 Arriving in this city the couple found
 awaiting them an expensively furnished apartment. gift of the murdered man. A gift of $3,000 was received from a
 maiden aunt of Mrs Wa,re, Miss Peck living at hotel here. Dr. Waite urged
 Miss Peck to give him more money and subsequently the dentist got $30.000 from which he said he would invest. On September 26, 1914 Dr. Waite in vited his father-in-law to come from Grand Rapids to live with him here, and few days after the dentist began a study of deadly germ diseases. He visited a specialist on bacteriology and
 bought many books on the subject About this time Dr. Waite met Mar garet Horton, afterward Known as his studio companion" and on January 10 when Mrs. Waite's parents arrived in | this city, Dr. Waite and Mrs. Horton | registered at a fashionable hotel as | w A. Walters and wife"
 Dr. Waite obtained the arsenic on pretense that he wanted it to "kill cats" and, on the night his father in- l law died, he sent telegram in his W1fe's name to her brother in Grand Rapids preparing him for his fathers death. He made the announcement of
 MT Pecks death, undertook arrange
 ments for embalming the body and
 urged it's cremation, appearing particu-
 larly anxious to have the body ere mated. Dr. Waite did not attend the funeral after the body had been shipped to Grand Rapids for burial, ex- cusing his presence on pretense of hay ing to perform an operation in New York, although he was never surgeon The state charged that Dr. Waite of
 fered s9O00 to the undertaken who had embalmed the body if he would pre-
 pare a mixture containing arsenic and declare 1t had been used in embalming
 the body.
 Dr. Waite received the sentence of | death with utter unconcern. Before 1 he was condemned to death he said in court:
 1 T only wish I had more than one body to give and 1 hope that my soul
 may go on and serve hereafter those
 whom have injured"

Appeals to Washinoton

DENVER, May 24.-President c. H. Mover, of the International Union of Miners, Mill and Shelter Workers. said today he had appealed to Secre- tary of Labor Wilson at Washington and Senator Ashurst of Arizona and was hopeful a patriotic desire to keep up production of copper at the United Seroe mine during the war might win Tor the men their demands.
 The price of copper has increased rom II cents to as high as '32 cents, 3 MT Mover said, and the wages of the men at Jerome remain the same. from 70 cents to $1 day less than the wage scale in other mines at Globe and Miami. All the men want is an in crease to the scale of other mines and a contract which will insure the con- tlnuous production of copper"

WROTE NAME ON SHINGLE,
 SPOILED TEACHING CAREER

BELLINGHAM Feb. Miss Win fired Davis of Enumclaw went to tho state normal school at Bellingham three years ago with the intention of making teaching her life work. With party of classmates she went on sightseeing trip to Bellingham shingle mill and just for fun" wrote her name and address on shingle. From that time fate decreed that she should not be a teacher.
 The shingle went in shipment to the middle west and in due time J. Wilkinson, young Iowa farmer, bachelor. shingling his barn, founi it. He cut off the portion with the name and address. put it in an oxi- dized silver frame, and began a per sistent courtship to win Miss Davis. After three years constant wooing by correspondence and two trips to the coast he was successful. The we'd ding took place a few days ago at the brides home in Enumclaw and she is now on her way to become mis- tress of one of the best farms in Iowa.
