children. Maud told him that 1t was she
that was teaching the school and that
she did not care damn" for the miser-
able 'Cannucks' and would maltreat them
all she wanted to-" She was the ugiest
woman he had ever seen or was crazy,
toned the young man and did not receive
she was crazy when asked which of the
two he really thought.
Mrs. Della Russell of Grand Isle, as
sistant to Undertaken Parks, testified
to the examination Of the body in the
preparation for burial.
William Bohannon of Alburg testified
regarding Maud's leaving her horses five
days In a barn without water and little
food. After the neighbors had complain
ed Maud hired him to look after them. He
thought she was not right in her mind.
He was cross-examined only briefly.
Mrs. Fanny Aldrich of Grand Isle,
dressmaker, testified to working for
Maud. She said that Maud had large
hunch under one shoulder and that her
hips were not mates. On cross-examina-
tion it was shown by Judge Darling that
it was not a rare thing for a woman's
hips not to be mates.
Mrs. Anna Wedgeworth of Alburg,
testified that one day Maud was stand

pouring rain. She asked her into the
house to get dry and then persuaded her

room and supposedly went to bed. The

did not mention the incident.

county court testified that he did not
order Mrs. Cora Hazen to bring papers

said that when she brought the will, he
noticed the distant date and wondered
if she had not made another will and
asked Mrs. Hazen to search for it. Maud
came into his hardware store one time
and bought pane of glass. She broke
it just outside the door and asked him to
make it good, was very angry because
he would not and called him all sorts of
names. He thought that she was of All

SEVEN SOLID HOURS
OF SENATE TALK

Washington. Oct 15.--Entrcly filling
another seven-hour session with talk,
the Senate upset completely to-day the
hopes Of leaders on both sides OF the
treaty fight that a vote might be reached
on the Shantung amendment or that at
least some progress might be made in
the reading of the treaty text.
The formal reading Of the text had been
sion arranged for to-day, but the Shan
tung question got the floor at the outset
and it soon was evident that the treaty
ratifying body was off for another field
day of debate.
Hoping then that the way might be
cleared for the reading at to-morrow's
session by ending debate on the Shan
tung provision to-day the leaders agreed
informally that the amendment should
be voted on if possible before adjourn
ment. Both sides lined up their forces
for the test, but when, late in the after
noon, Senator Reed. democrat. of Mis-
souri,, began another long attack on the
treaty, the Senate managers threw up
their hands and announced there would
be no roll call to-day
Still other senators were asking for
recognition when recess was taken and
they are expected to continue the debate
tomorrow. There has been no formal
agreement but the leaders hope for final
action on the amendment some time to-
morrow afternoon.
During most of to-day's session the de-
bate stuck close to its text, which was
, the foreign relations committees amend
ment to transfer the ShantunE rights
to China in place of Japan. Five sena-
tors whose stand had been the subject
of some speculation announced they would
vote against the pending proposal, but
! all of them indicated they would support
reservations on the subject. They were
Senators Colt of Rhole Island, Lenroot
] Of Wisconsin and Spencer of Missouri,
republicans, and Shields of Tennessee and
Thomas of Colorado, democrats.
| Besides Senator Reed Senators Borah,
Idaho Brandegee Connecticut: and
| Lodge. Massachusetts,, spoke in support
| of the amendment. Mr.. Brandegee read
| ing into the record a long pamphlet on
the subject published by the Chinese So
ciety of America. Senator Lodge. who
as chairman Of the foreign relations COM
mittee, wrote the amendment, made a
speech of only few sentences in reply
to the argument that amendment of the
4 treaty would mean its defeat.
1--WE never will see the day" said Mr..
Lodge, when Europe will refuse to let
the United States come into the treaty
on any terms 1t chooses. 1t can dictate
