diak Island, was continued.
The witnesses put on by the gov
eminent were the same as testifier

tlie same as that gven in the formei
case, hut dealing more particularly
with the part played by the defend
ent in the tragedy.
The only witness for the defense
was the defendent. who denied hav
ing had anything to do with the death
of Cunningham. He testfiied that dur
ing the fracas betw.een the second
Filipino boss and Gabino, the boss
I drew a pocket knife and cut Marino,
, who had interfered. The defendent
1 also accidently cut on the hand by
1 the second' boss when he swung his
hand back. He, the defendant ran
out on tlie walk, thinking the second
boss was pursuing him. Jumped from

the Filipino house. Took no part in
the attack on Cunningham.

| PLOT OK MILK IMUIIIITKKK
TO LIFT PRICK CHARGED
CHICAGO. Oct. 26.—Evidence to
prove a nation-wide plot hy milk pro
ducers to raise the price of that com
modity was presented to federal au
thorities here today by Attorney Gen
eral Brundage of Illinois.
Ramifications of this alleged con
spiracy, as indicated in Mr. Grun
dage's evidence, included the raising
of a fund of $5,000 to place a man
friendly to the Dairymen’s Interna
, tional league on the Hoover commis
sion formed to fix a just price fo
milk. This was said to have been
done in i'tica. N'. Y., last July. The
evidence also showed an effort on the
part of the dairymen to see Presi

MICHAELIS EXPECTED
TO LOSE HIS HEAD
COPENHAGEN, Oct. 26.—Ger
many's paper crisis over the pan-tier
man propoganda which loomed so Dili
in anticipation, hut was so small in
results, lias passed. In its place ha*
risen a new. and this time a really
serious crisis, caused by the attempt
of Chancellor Michaelis. Vice Chan
cellor Helfferich and Minister of tin
Navy Von Capelle to use the alleged
plot in the German navy as poltiea!
argument in the reiehstag.
It is not improbable, German poli
I tical observers point out, that Chan
‘ cellor Michaelis, in an hour of ap
parent success, sowed the seeds of his
own downfall. Results are not to be
epected immediately, as the reich
stag adjourns this week, but the new
conditions of German political life, it
Is contended, wll undoubtedly from
now on work against Von Bethmann
Hollweg’s successor.

local chapter of the American Red
Cross received a letter from the de
partment yesterday asking him to re
port all rumors and innuendos cal
culated to hurt the Red Cross work,
saying that too many of such were
appearing at different spots to have
them accidental. C. D. Stlmson, man
ager of the Seattle division of the
Red Cross states that the organiza
tion wants clothing and wants it
badly, and that the quicker the ladies
of the land get busy the better. All
sorts of garments are needed by the
soldiers as well as bandages and sup
plies, and such gifis will be greatly
appreciated. Pay no attention to any
stories about the Red Cross unless
they are official, is the advice given.

RUSSIAN LEADER IS
AFRAID OF JAPANESE
PETRORAD, Oct. 26—General
Alexleff, former commander-in-chief
of the Russian armies, on his arrival
at headquarters to obtain from the
government instruction as to his mis
sion to the inter-allied conference to
be held in Paris, said to a represen
tative of the Moscow newspaper, Out
rorossi, that the conference would as
certain the exact strength of Russia,
her combative powers and her attit
ude toward the other nations of the
entente.
If the Internal situation in Russia
at that time was not such as to in
spire confidence among the allies, it
would be better not to send him.
' "nl fact,” said General Alexleff, "I
should refuse to go."
General Alexleff expressed the view
that Japan would make her entry In
to the European theater, but that she
certainly would demand compensa
tion at the expense of the weakest na
tion—Russia.
