RESUME A|RMA|L
SERVICE TOFLEET

Fighting a headwind of forty miles
an hour all the way down the Poto-
mac and across Chesapeake bay, the
first mail hydroplane to leave the An
acostia station here since last FRI
day, landed on the storm waves at
Hampton roads, yesterday afternoon
with the official mail for the Atlantic
fleet.
This pioneer naval mail service has
been interrupted for almost a week
by high winds and heavy fogs which
have prevailed off the Virginia coast.
In the face of threatening weather,
the hydroplane at Hampton roads did
not attempt the flight to this city.
1t is expected that regular daily
service in both directions will be re-
sumed as soon as weather conditions
permit. Service will be continued at
least until the freezing of the river
makes landings impossible.
The consignment OF mail carried to
the feet yesterday was unusually
heavy. being the result of several
days accumulation. 1t was, for the
most part, official matter.
The naval air mail service between
Washington and Hampton Roads was
begun on November 16.

G|RL-W|FE, TRIED AS
SLAYER,ADRUDGE

GENESEO, N. Y. Dec. 1e.-wan of
face and pathetic of mien, Mrs. Gladys
Webster, nineteen-year-old girl-wife
and mother, listens to the testimony
by which the State seeks to prove she
put paris green in milk and thus
ended the life OF her father-in-law,
Edward Webster.
The frail, little woman is making
no effort to play upon the sympathies
of the jury and public by displaying
her affection for her baby, born a
short time ago. Her mother-love
only is shown in the affectionate care
she gives to her child while in her
cell, and each day, when she leaves
for the court room, she asks
that the child be given to the sheriff's
wife for safekeeping.
1t became apparent today that the
attorneys directing her defense will
attempt to show that Webster did not
die from poisoning.
Today Critical PERIOD.
The most critical period in the
trial of the little mother, it was be-
lieved, was TO come today with the
OoNAAS NAG pOAoOh NApCANos
An attempt by the girls attorneys
to discredit the testimony OF Miss
Lila Bell. OF Rochester, the nurse.
who cared for Webster before he
died, did not succeed. She proved
that she visited Webster's physician
after she had discovered poison in
the milk, and that she was unable to
give assistance to the dying man be-
cause of his condition.
Married when she was only fifteen
years old, Gladys Webster had ex-
perienced little but drudgery until
taken to a cell charged with murder.
Periodically, the days she spends in
the cell seem to be the most restful
in her life.
He'd TroubIOus Life.
The man she is accused of Staying
played an important role in her
troublous life. witnesses are testify
ing, and the prosecution seeks to
prove she harbored such hatred for
him she poured poison in the milk
which was administered to him by a
nurse.
The State will ask the extreme
penalty.
Lila Bell. OF Rochester. the nurse.
was the principal witness yesterday.
She told OF giving the milk to Web
ster. She drank some OF the milk
herself. she said, and was herself
made i'll. She Immediately took an
emetic.
Mrs. Webster yesterday was the
center of attention from Il crowd
which taxed the capacity OF the room.
In addition to the men spectators,
there was a large number OF women
and some girls from the State Nor
NAL School here.
Has wOmen's Sympathy.
The women OF Geneseo are out
spoken in their sympathy for the
young mother. Several men were re-
Jected from the jury because they adj
mitted they had been Influenced in
her favor through statements by their
wives.
In cell in the same Jail which
houses the Eirl-wife is lodged her
husband, held es an important wit
ness. He IL expected by the State
to testify to extreme hatred borne by
his wife against his father.
she. it is declared. will recite the
history of her married life, laying
stress on brutal treatment Of herself
by the man she is accused Of staying.
she will. however, assert her inno-
Cence of the charge.

YALE BASEBALL
Good Team Will Depend on Ability of
 Coach to Train Rockies.

. Vale's Hopes of placing a strong baseball nine on the diamond this spring will rest with Coaches Dutch Carter and Bernie Winslow. Carter and Winslow are men with keen base ball sense and if the players show any thing at all in the way of real talent these coaches will bring it out Yale has been hard hit by the numerous en- listments of upper classmen of ath- letic calibre for war service but there are still galaxy of stars on hand who should be able to uphold the prestige of Old Eli.
 With the close of the basketball season, the baseball squad took up active indoor practice in the cage The work consisted principally along the lines of getting "the eye on the ball." in fielding the batted sphere and in accuracy in throwing.
 During the past few days the squad has taken advantage of the good weather by practicing in the open. There seems to be no dearth Of ma terial as the daily attendance shows. But it is yet too early to judge O. tie relative quality of the candidates. Few of the men have had more than fresh man, prep school or inter-class ex- perience and their value as varsity timber cannot be determined until field practice is well under way.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS LIsTLEss.
Special Issues Occasionally Showed a
 Little Activity.

New York, April 4.-The stock mar ket. experienced it's fourth successive listless session today after an early period which offered hope of a resto- ration of normal conditions. Trading
 lapsed soon after the opening, the monotony thereafter finding occasional relief in the movement of special lS- sues.
 Excellent crop prospects are indi- cated by the governments latest weather report, but this made little impression upon grangers and cotton carriers, neither manifesting the slightest animation. Shippings were almost the only rep resentative stocks with seasoned equipments to register more than mod crate changes. the former making ex- treme gains of one to two. and one half points and the latter one to two points.
 Sumatra Tobacco made the new maximum of 9S 3-4 for the current movement and related issues, including tobacco products, responded in mate rial degree.
 Motors, oils, sugars and unclassified stocks. were. temporarily higher by one to three points. but United States Steel was sluggish, yielding all it's fractional gain.
 A spasm of activity and strength in local utilities during the mid-session followed the decision of an Ohio court permitting an increase of fares in that state Final quotations were at reces- sions of large fractions to a full point. ISales amounted to 22S.O0 shares.
 Liberty second As, at the wide range of 9S3o to 96,70, contributed mainly to the enlarged bond dealings. Do- mestic issues were irregular, but in ternationals were fractionally higher. Total sales, par value, were $1,150, 900. U. s. bonds.. old issues. were .un- changed on call.

 cady Carries Two Bones from His Own Body-McGraw Has Pied Name on Shirt

Ball players are noted for their su- perstitions, but it was left to Forrest Cady, the backstop of the Athletics, to produce the most unique of all talismans. Some players depend for base hits on the arrangement of their bats in the dugout. the cut of their own hair, or other such tomfoolery
 notions. but Cady depends on two small bones which he carries always with him. And the bones are, or, rather, were part of Cady's own anat- omy having been removed from his shoulder at an operation last winter. Cady met with accident during the winter and had to have the tiny bones removed from his shoulder He says he's all right now, but that if he ever Iost these talismans he knows his
 throwing arm as well as his luck would go back on him. He says he feels whole and entire with them, but kind of minus a few ,arts when he leaves them aside.
 McGraw has decided that he will not change the pied Giant brand on his shirt front It will remain there, spelled Gaints, until McGraw is con vinced that it is unlucSy.
 %Tm not superstitious." said Me Graw, tat least not as finicky about hoodoos as George Stallings. but l guess I'll let the present spelling stand.
 You know" added the Giant leader, "Stallings ih the most superstitious man in baseball. Harry Sparrow and
 myself tricked him one day by bring ing two live crabs out before game at the Polo grounds one day just as time was called, we dropped the crabs on the Boston bats and Stallings near ly died of fright. Heinie Zim always | walks up to him and begins to tear up paper as he talks to him. This makes
 Stallings beside himself with rage and
 we generally get off to good start 1 against him.
