Negress Denies She
 Plotted Murder
Mrs Burke Tells Court Murder Did Not Enter Her Mind Lost Self Control


 In soft, low voice, hardly aud ible, and without emotion, Mrs Ol- i've Burke, 29-year-old negress, on trial for her life, related in super for court yesterday afternoon the incidents leading to and around the fatal stabbing of her husband in the early morning of last July 2Sth at his basement apartment at Al Cooke street. All through the trial the woman has maintained a remarkable emotionless attitude which she carried to the stand dur ing her testimony. She will con- tinue Tuesday morning before Judge Allyn L. Brown and 8 jury
 "Something came over mel lost my self control--the next thing l knew I had struck him--a. knife was in my right hand-he was holding his side--I saw blood gath ering on his. white shirt-he step ped back, looked down and said, what the duece'". So did Mrs Burke explain the stabbing of her husband as the climax of her story.
 She had told of her seven years of married life, how his love for her haf cooled, how she tried sev- era1 plans in attempting to win back the waning love; how he had furnished an apartment on Bishop street for her to live separately from him; the work he did such as laying oilcloth; fixing the shades and curtains; lining up the stove. eve seemed to get along better that way. Mrs Burke said.
 She went to his apartment that Sunday evening to learn why he had not kept his promise to have dinner with her that afternoon. She found the key in it's usual place, went into the several rooms in the apart ment. thinking he might be asleep and was about to leave when she heard voices, strange voices-ml%- ed voices-women and men.
 "I thought: he was bringing in another party to make night or 1t. That was my only thought. Ine stories I had been hearing or ms stepping out-having parites-tnls girl from Watertown-al preyed on my mind. Ifdid not recoeh.ze the people or the women who were now III the kltCHcHs "eso in the<living room, off the kitchen. Nv husband came into the room where was standing and all or a sudden, something came over me I lost control-'
 After the stabbing. Mrs Burke said she walked through the kltch- en and when she recognized the New, Haven friends who were wltn her husband, she became ashamed at what had happened and con tinued on through the door without speaking to them, she said. Sne went to her own apartment ana told friend, Eugene Riggin tha, she had struck her husbaDd. Asked why, she said because of the mis, erabie manner in which he had been treating her.
 Asked by her counsel. Attorney A. Henry Weisman whether she had meant to kill her hesband: she answered emphatically. NO! - didn't mean to hurt him..
 The only sign of emotion rom her came when she was led up to the stabbing, when her husband had entered the kitchen. She cast her eyes down and rimained silent for A moment. "Do have to tell, she asked in a stricken voice-"l

 BOLIVIANS ARGUE
One Says They've Cap= tured Fort, Other
 Denies It

Asupcion, Paraguay, Sept 36-- (UP) - Paraguayan troops held Fort Boqueron in the Gran Chaco to-day, according. to a war office announcement, after 21 days of bitter struggle with the Bolivian defenders.
 Paraguayans marched through the streets celebrating the victory as Boqueron is regarded as the key to the Chaco. Commander Es- tigarribia reported that six off, cers, 1000 soldiers, six pieces of artillery and a great quantity" of ammunitions were taken.
 The general opinion was that the fall of the fort meant the end of the Chaco fighting.
 The Bolivian defenders num- bered about 2,000. The Paraguay ans, more familiar with the terrain, advanced slowly and prevented the defenders from receiving food, water or ammunition except from airplanes.
 La Paz, Bolivia, Sept 30-(UP) The government to-day denied the capture of Fort Boqueron by Paraguayans. Bolivian aviators confirm that Fort Boqueron is still in the hands of Bolivia," it was said at the war office.

 "In other words" said Giles, bitterly, "he set you aside like a savings &C., count, to be there when he wanted It."
 "Perhaps," said Martha. 'There are many kinds of thrift, Giles"
 Giles had left her and she was won- dering if, after all, Dick had not per haps changed in feeling since that far away night when he had told her of his love, when she felt herself drawn into a pair of strong and eager arms.

Washington, D. C..
 July II, 1882.

Recent reports from Alaska of the discovery of gold depos- it's on Copper river valued at $300,0OO,OO0 and rich ore on Nuka bay, on which valuations as high as $50,O00 per ton have been made, have developed considerable interest in the gold possibilities of the terri tory. Inquiries have been re- ceived from persons in various parts of the East and from Florida asking the advice of the Delegate as to whether they should seek fortune in the new fields.
 Whether the estimates of the probable valuations are or are not correct, at least the discov- cry of gold deposits confirms the predictions of the geolog- ical survey from series of studies it has conducted on the mineral potentialities of Alas ka. It is estimated that the value of Alaska gold product ion during the past 30 years has amounted to $398, ,659, 1000 while the next most valuable metal has been copper, which has amounted to $213,964,000. Silver production has totaled $11,994,000 and coal $7,940,- 900.

In what is known as the Gar ner bill for the relief of desti- tuition, various Alaska projects were included that it was hoped would be finally accept ed and thus give employment in various sections of the Terr itory. In the grand total of $174,274,000 for public build ings was the postoffice for An chorage, $425,000 and postof- flee and court house for Ketch- ikan, $400,0O0. For improve ments in the Rivers and Har- bors section of the bill, Alaska was generously provided for and included improvements in the original bill as follows: Dry Pass, $79,00O; Kodiak Harbor, $77,000; Nome har- Dor, S235,000; Sitka harbor, $67, ,500; Tolovana river, S40,- 900; Wrangell harbor, $56,- 900; Wrangell Narrows, S142,- 900. The bill passed the house with most of these items in, but all the appropriations for pub lie buildings and rivers and harbors were eliminated in the senate. The bill then went to conference and the house made but slight effort to retain the Alaska and other items, so they were eliminated in the conference report, which was accepted immediately by the house and later by the senate, notwithstanding a threatened veto by the president because of an inclusion of a proviso that the Finance Corporation may make loans to a private company or individual furnish ing security and assurance that the money is for employment of labor.

ALASKA INTERESTS AT
 THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
By Will. A. Steel

It is believed that the board recommended that the sports men of the country, including Alaska, be given at least two weeks more duck and goose shooting than was allowed last year, when but one month was allowed. It is expected that the time of the season in Alas ka will be divided into two diff ferent periods, as affecting the northern and southern parts of the Territory. It is reported that extensive studies of the duck breeding areas in Canada show them to have been re- stored to a large extent and that the biological survey feels that with the drought cycle in the breeding area coming to an end, h conditions which caused the drastic curtailment of the hunting season last year have been practically abated.

MOSCOW, July 11.-James Mattern
and Bennett Griffin, world flyers who
were forced down at Borisov, Russia,
last Thursday, plan another try, per-
haps later this Summer
The two flyers, grimy. weary ana
disappointed stepped of the train yes
terdav on which they came from Borl-
SOW. shook hands with a few Americans
who had gathered at the station to vel
come them and dashed for bath tub.
Later they told OF the wreck OF their
attempt to beat the record of Wiley
Post and Harold Gatty and the wreck
OF their plane in a peat bog near Borl-
sov half way between here and Berlin.
Called Tough Break"
1--WE got tough break, that's all"
they said We're going home as soon
rs we can, but we'll tackle 1t again
this year if it's not too late. Certainly
We'll try it again next Summer IL we
can get plane"
Mattern was plotting when the con-
trolS of the ship went wrong.
II looked around" he said. and
shouted to Grif that We were coming
down. I knew we could fix things in
a couple of minutes and there was
what looked like a good spot to land
right beneath US. -,
But one can't always tell when it's
dark. It turned out to be that peat
bcE. end if it hadn't been so soft We
would he long way from here now.
When we landed. the wheels dug into
the muck and the plane messed over, her
landing gear il the air.
TCO Late to Change.
"As soon as she began to sink in the
swamp I knew 1 had guessed wrong.
l gave her the gun. but it was too late.
Next thing we were nosed over and I
was pinned in, with the motor jammed
up within two inches of my knees.
I'VE were both dazed, but Grlf
yanked me out and We crawled out on
one of the wings to recover from the
shock. 1t was only a few minutes be-
fore help came, but it seemed like we
had lain there for hours. 1t was a
shame the ship had to go like that. 1t
was a swell piece of machinery"
Griffin had a black eye and strip
of adhesive plaster over cut on his
forehead
We never really thought we'd beat
Post and Gattys time until We left
Moscow" he said But We were several
hours ahead of them when we crack
ed up"
