band under the kitchen. She plainly shows the effects of the nervous strain under which she has been laboring. Mrs. Clara Enlow, mother of Mrs. Dayton, is on the verge of a nervous

breakdown. Her condition is attribut

ed to the manner in which her daughter has been mentioned in connection with the murder of Dayton. Believes She Knew. From testimony gathered today and from what was said by members of the household, Coroner Pierce said he believed Mrs. Dayton knew of the crime and of the burial of "her husband. "She may not have been responsible for his death, but I don't see how she could have helped knowing of the cellar and that her husband had been murdered." Johnson' Statement. Vernus Johnson, a boarder at the Dayton home, today gave the following statement to the coroner: "I have

been a boarder at the Dayton home at various periods for the last three years. When I was not a boarder I was a weekly visitor at the home. I knew of no improper relations between Mrs. Dayton and Snyder nor anything of the killing of Dayton by Snyder." Mrs. Lillie Zurwell, daughter of Mrs. Dayton and stepdaughter of Henry Dayton, gave the following testimony: "I have known Snyder for four years. 1 have lived at the home where my mother and father were living for a i small portion of that time. Snyder complained of me being there, as did my stepfather. I was not in the city when my stepfather was killed. I noticed an odor at the time one of our neighbors spoke of it during the summer. The relations of my mother and Snyder were not always proper, but I do not believe my mother had anything to do with the killing of her husband and was innocent of any knowledge that a crime had been committeed." Archie Bowles, aged 18, a son of Mrs. Dayton, told the coroner he was in the house at the time the murder was supposed to have been committed. "On the morning of September 5, 1910, I was sleeping in one of the bed rooms on the second floor. I slept until 9 o'clock, as I was tired and did not have to go to work that day. At 0 o'clock that morning when I went down stairs Snyder was reading a newspaper. He seemed at ease and showed no evi

dence that a crime had been commit- j ted. He did not show any signs of j struggle, nor was there any evidence j about the house to show that a crime : had been committed. I did not notice j any odor. I did not know a cellar was i under the house and never heard of j

lime being in the house or about the premises."

The preface to this edition states: "The fundamental part of the great railway system of the United States is the track which forms the "rail way" and which carries the traffic. In view of its importance and in view of the amount and quality of engineering and technical work involred in the construction and rnaintalnance of the track, it may appear somewhat strange that the technical literature on the subject should be so limited as compared with that on other branches of

railway engineering. "That may be attributed largely to

the fact that until within very' recent years, the management of this department of railway service was considered as belonging to the grade of skilled labor rather than to that of scientific and technical training. "The development of the position

and work of the engineer of maintain-ance-of-way within the past few years, however, is evidence that this branch of railway engineering is coining to the front." The book is fully revised, with 232 illustrations, 44 tables and an appendix of statistics of Standard Track Construction on American Railways.

Y. M. C. A. NOTES

ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. "The Fortunes of the Landrays," by the late Vaughan Kester, and recently reprinted by the Bobbs-Merrill Company, is an absorbing tale of the gold digging days. It is, in addition, an interesting study of the contemporary life of that day in the Middle West. A region with which Kester is familiar, since it is the soil from which he sprang. Kester's early death is lamentable. With his equally talented brother, Paul Kester best known to the gen

eral public as the dramatizer of Ma- j one. jor's novel, "When Knighthood Was ; it is published by the Bobbs-Merrill

But it seems he was really an F. F. V. How he turns the old family manor into a habitable place, how he is mystified by a musty romance which involves his father, the mother of the beauty of the lane, and sundry others, how he finally wins the lady of the hair, this the reader must find out for himself. Incidentally it is a fascinating picture of that southern life which is gradually melting away. The story, in short, is a charming

in Flower" he was in a fair way to become known as one of the most significant writers of his day. The Kesters, by the way, are kinspeople of the family of Charles H. Burchenal, formerly of this city whose old home is now occupied by Dr. and Mrs. Wanipler, on North Seventh street.

Kester came into the limelight a i

of "The Prodigal Judge, his death occurring shortly after this novel's publication.

USE OF "TURKISH" WORDS. Ottomans Themselves Don't Know the Meaning of Them. "Sublime porte" is one of those European expressions for Turkish institutions which are never used by the Turks themselves. The Ottoman government's official title for itself is Hu-kyumet-i-seniye, the glorious government. Turks do not speak of "the sultan." but of the "padishah," a Persian term meaning the father of inonarchs. Turkey is a geographical expression used outside the land it denotes, but tmknown to those who dwell in it. The Turks talk of Roumelia Anadol. The foreign residents may speak of Anatolia. Albania or the Lebanon. They will tell you they live at Smyrna. Salonikl or Beirut or elsewhere, but the word Turkey never crosses their lips. In the realm itself there is no collective name for the territory of the sultan. Albania. Bulgaria and Rou mania, although contiguous to one another. seak three totally different languages. The Bulgarian tongue is that of ancient Russia, and Roumanian resembles that of ancient Rome more closely than modern Italian does. Albanian has no marked affinity with any other language, though philologists have discovered in it some slight traces of Basque and Hungarian influence. 2s"ew York Sun.

Edmund Vance Cook is a familiar name. His Lyceum and Chautauqua appearances some of which have been in this city not. longer ago than November have made him no better known to a certain public than his verses in the Saturday Evening Post and other publications, have made him to another. Therefore his book of short stories called "The Story Club," issued through the Dodge Publishing Company, of New York, will interest many persons in this city. Here is a delightful book for both child and grown-up. If you want to buy a Christmas pres-

In this, as in his other novels, Kes-ent for a youngster, go get this.

It concerns the tales handed out by a certain "Storyman," to a group of children round a fire on a rainy day, and is dedicated to "Those Goaded Parents, facing that recurring hour of wakeful sleepiness whose constant demand is 'Just One More'." The book is attractively gotten up with charming illustrations in color.

ter shows himself a character writer of acumen. It is in the development of character, rather than in concentration of plot, that he excels, and he paints a series of portraits that stand out boldly from their descriptive backgrounds. Perhaps the story dominates a bit more than usual in "The Fortunes of the Landrays" but still the character of one of its principals, Jacob Benson, is drawn in distinct relief. The action of the tale swings rourid

search or added fortune, going over the protests of their wives. Especially that of Virginia, the wife of Stephen, who Is one of the principals and who is a fascinating figure. Of their death on the plains, of the life long love of Beuson for Virginia, of the fortunes of the only scion of the Landray family remaining the nephew of Stephen of the complications attendant upon, their association, all this is well told. The pictures of the life of that period are interesting, especially of the appearance and the exit of the famous leaders of the Mormons, who incidentally touch the fringes. The book is well worth the reading.

Insufficient Evidence Against Alleged Pickpocket Assigned as Reason. Two affidavits against Frank Cantwell, of Indianapolis, charging pickpocketing and assault and battery, were dismissed Saturday by Judge Fox on motion of Prosecutor Allen. The prosecutor held that evidence was insufficient. The $1,000 cash bond given by Cantwell and his father was returned. Cantwell with John Willis and Henry Wyles were arrested at Nineteenth and North E street last May when a circus showed here. The three were

alleged to have made several well !

plaifbed "rushes" on persons waiting for street cars, to carry them from the circus grounds. In these rushes the trio, it was said, picked the pockets of persons. Willis was released shortly after the arrest on his own recognizance.

A "Touching" Story. The young lady who had sat for a crayon portrait was not altogether pleased with the result- "It looks like me, of course." she said, inspecting it doubtfully, "and yet I think there are some thiugs about it that ought to be changed." She suggested that the eyes should have rather more of an upward look, that the right hand should be a little less prominent, that the hair should be made more wavy and that certain changes ought to be made in the drapery. "That would require a gTeat deal of retouching." said the artist "and 1 should have to. charge you about $10 additional." "Oh, dear!" she exclaimed, with a pout. "1 shall have to give it up.

Ermine Reeves, author, as the cover j states, and everybody knows, of "Hearts Courageous" and "Satan Sanderson." John Valiant, leader of cotillions, owner of yachts, motor-cars and racing studs, vice president of a great corporation founded by his father, now dead, one day is brought to bat with a suddenness that startles himself and a few others. The corporation had failed disgracefully. Valiant surprises everybody by an exhib'tion of manhood with which he had not hitherto been accredited, :urns over his entire private fortune and resigns from the vice-presidency all of which saves the former and rescues his father's name from threatened ignominy and finds himself possessed of $2,800, one second-hand automobile and the deeds to an old estate in Virginia. For all practical purposes he was a New Yorker.
