"While the president did not say so, it w.m evident thai he had framed his Alaska development plan with an especial view to preventing that rich territory ettin tinder control of a railroad monopoly. Congress was uri;ed by the president to enact a fair and ffeetive employers liability law. " owe it, in mere justice to the railway employes of the country." ho said. A law that we can stand by in this matter will be no Jess to the advantair of those who administer the railroads of the country than to those whom they employ.

M-t.s Dr. Crai. He related how she had become acquainted with Dr. Crai- as a lecturer at the .State Veterinary college, how that acquaintance nad resulted in a friendship which those who knew them cxperte, to result in marriage. "There will be no direct proof of aa rnuajrement between Dr. CraU' and Dr. Knabe. but circumstances will be overwhelming in that direction," lie declared. A few days before the woman's death, Mr. Inman asserted, there were si-rns of a break between the two but he scouted the idea that Dr. Knabe had committed suicide. "Dr. Knabe's life was hopeful and cheerful," "he said. ".She was in love with her worlc and gave no manifestations of despondency." He declared that on the nitfht of her death she had even made apoointrnentn with patients for the following day. Kimono Was Missing. Mr. Inman told the jury that the condition of the room when Dr. Knabe's body was found, indicated that she had been murdered. Kverythinir was out of its accustomed place and the kimono the doctor usually kept handy for late, calls, was missing1. This kimono 'later was found in the possession of Alonzo M. Ita.?sdale, the Indianapolis undertaker, who was Indicted jointly with Dr. Craiir. Telltale blood stains had not been completely rmoved, he said, although the garment had been washed. Persons who had heard screaniH emanating from the doctor's apartment shortly before 1 o'clock on the fateful night would be introduced to disprove the suicide theory, Mr. Inman said. Others would testify, he said, that Dr. Craig had been in the neighborhood frequently on nights .'preceding the woman's death and one would identify him as the man he saw coming out of the areaway of the "house about two hours before Dr. Knabe -vva-s supposed to have died. Dr. Craig's actions on the day the body wa,i found excited suspicion, he said, and witnesses would tell of them. CUTS OFF LEG SCRAPS IN VIEW OF MAN AND WIFE PARSIPPAXY, N. J.

APPEAL OF BABIES POTENT,

IN OPENING OF SOUTH BEND P0CKETB00KS (CONTINUED FROM PACK ONE.) Joptph' hospital -nt In $5. The V. C. T. I'. voted 310 and the auxiliary $" at meetings held Monday afternoon. "We have a department devoted to work among foreign speaking people," Mid a member of the V. C. T. "and we consider support of the dispensary a part of our work, as most of the jrood done by the dispensary is among foreign speaking people. "It is one of the worthiest institutions in the city, but it is so young that the general public is not acquainted with the good it docs. Some of our members, however, are acquainted with the dispensary work and the W. C. T. V. is glad to give it all the aid possible." The young women of the First Presbyterian church was the first of the women's church societies to take up the cause but it is thought that others will do so. Children of the Sunday schools of the city will be given an opportunity to hear of the dispensary work and to contribute to its support according to plans made by a group of women who met Friday morning in the Chamber of Commerce room. It is believed that the children of the city will be interested in this work of the babies and they are to be given an opportunity to help through their .Sunday schools. Temple Beth-El took Us first collection for the Children's Dispensary Sunday, and Monday morning sent in $7. All its collections during the month of December will be added to the Dispensary funds. The interest of the mothers and fathers in the district where the dispensary is located has been aroused by the campaign for funds and they have become much concerned over the possibility of the dispensary's closing its doors. "Oh, are you going1 away?" is a question that has been put to Miss Bailey, the dispensary nurse, many times since the news of the lack of funds came out. s "We have a pay day this week." several of the mothers told the nurse Monday morning, "and we will help a little, too, when that comes. Maybe it will be only a little, but if it will help to keep you here, we will give all we can." The Auditorium should be filled to capacity at the Friday night performance of the "Eion and the Mouse." The S00 letters which are being sent out contain two tickets each. 1,J00 in all. The capacity of the theater is 1,700. The money raised at this performance will be used for the immediate running expenses of the dispensary. All over and above will go into the special fund.

TUXPAM REPORTED

IN REBEL'S HANDS KEY TO OIL FIELDS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.) as, that Generals Jose Yncz Salazar and Pascual Orozco, with more than 1,000 federals hail retreated to the mountain west of the city and that hundreds of civilians, including women and children who were on the verge of starvation had started out to walk to the United States border. Besides being the capital of tho state. Chihuahua with a population normally of r.5,000 is the metropolis of northern Mexico. Neither in the Madero revolution nor in the present uprising has Chihuahua been taken from the federals. Its garrison and the commanding positions for sharp shooters and machine guns, afforded by the cathedral and public buildings heretofore had presented a formidable barrier to invaders. Had the rebels reached the city and the federals resisted it was believed a fight in the city would have resulted in great Iosj of life and property. Conditions in the city were said to be such that life was no longer endurable there. Viaduct Destroyed. The Spanish viaduct was said to have been destroyed and the food supply exhausted. Gen. Villa Monday n5ht telegraphed the details of tho evacuation to Gen. Carranza at Ilerfmosillo, stating the proposed advance of the rebels southward to Mexico I City would not be expedited. The pos session of the city, he said, would make rebel territory of the. country straight through to Zacatetas, and operations would begin at that city and at Acuas Calientes. Gen. Villa faid Federico Moye, a prominent merchant has been named civil governor cf Chihuahua state, his selection being" based on the belief that ho "would be acceptable to the rebel?. ' The report of tho capitulation of Chihuahua is authentic," said Villa. "It came to me In an official dispatch which said the city was evacuated on Sunday. A rebel courier at once-et out and rode 120 miles northward where he met the rebel advance guard. This was at a point called Villa Ahumada, where we have established telegraphic communication. X have transmitted the details to Gen. Carranza, the head of the revolution. "It is my purpose now to send a force to intercept Mercado who is lleeing to OJinga and also to capture Orozco and Salazar. Our main body probably will concentrate at Chihuahua, preparatory to the advance southward. We will be nearing Mexico City within a month." Five thousand dollars worth of provisions and clothing and $100,000 from the Banco of Minero were confiscated in Juarez by Villa to support the rebels. The storekeepers, most of them Spanish, appealed to United States Consul Edwards and later closed their shops and handed over the keys to the consul. 1IUKUTA IS RACK. MEXICO CITY. Dec. 1. Pres.

TAKE HOT SHOTS AT MORMON ISM

Delegates to Reform 1'onvontinn in Spirited Argument on Whether Polyyamy Prevails In Utah. PITTSBURGH, Dec. 2. The irith annual convention of the National Reform association saw a ht debate on "Mormonlsm" here when Prof. O. F. Davis of New Richmond, Wis., chairman of the world commission on Mormonism, introduced a resolution which urged a federal law to prohibit polygamy in all the states and territories. R. Murray Stewart of Ambridse, Pa., a missionary of the letter Day iaints, immediately objected. "Such an amendment is not necessary,' he said, "polygamy is not and has- not been practiced in Utah or any other state since 1S90. I defy any one to prove that it i3 still practiced In Utah. Our churches are open to investigation." Dr. W. M. Paden of Salt Eake City answered Stewart. "I have lived for 15 years anions the Mormons and I know that they fear the adoption of that amendment to the U. S. constitution more than any other ever suggested," ho said. "As for the assertion of Mr. Stewart that polygamy has not been practiced since 1890 the year of the Woodruff manifesto I have hero a picture showing Joseph Smith and his wives and their children taken In 1912. Is that proof enough?" PROPER NEEDIVES PIXVY BIG PART IX HAND KMBROIDKHY. Ncedlcs for Embroidery.
