The women of Canon, In Crete, have
formed a society to oppose the luxu
liousness of dress. The members of
the society wear only the simplest of
costumes and anathematize jewelry
and ornaments. The Cretan govern

n bill to make the wearing’ of extrava

The most famous pearl discovered
in Australia of late years is that
known as the southern cross. It con
sists of a cluster of nine pearls in the
shape of a crucifix, and is almost per
fect in proportion. This freak of na

the Laeipede islands by a beachcom
er named Clark. It was last sold for
$30,000.
In forests in Switzerland and Swe
den ants form lofty hillocks which
serve as compasses to travellers who
have lost their way by night or in a
fog. The nests are always made
from east to west; their peak is at
the east end, which is steep, the ridge
sloping, however, gently down to the
west. So the wandered can tell from
these ant-hills in which direction lie
ought to go.

Schley’s Counsel Endeavoring to
Require Presence of Admiral
at the Trial.
LEMLY OBJECTS TO LINE OF QUESTIONS
Attempt to Moke Comparison Be
tween Admiral* Sampson anil
Schley—'Three Point* Which I,utter
Will Try to B*tabll*h—Story of
Battle of July 11,
Washington, Sept. 24.—The mem
bers of the Schley naval court of in
quiry found the accommodations in
the tool shop at the navy yard some
what improved when it met there at
the usual hour at 11 o’clock Thurs
day. The long bare room which
hitherto had been open from floor to
roof, had been, in appearance, at
least, completely transformed over
Sunday by the addition of a ceiling of
plain white cloth. This had the ef
fect, also, of improving the acoustics
of the hall, so that the court and
others had less difficulty than for
merly in hearing the witnesses.
The members of the court were
prompt as usual in reaching the navj
yard, but when they arrived they
found ('apt. Bendy and his assistant,
Mr. Hanna, already there, busily en
gaged in getting ready for the day s
work.
Log Book* Presented.
Capt. Bendy presented the deck log
book's of the Brooklyn, Texas, lowa,
Castine, Marblehead, Massachusetts,
Minnesota, New Orleans. Oregon, St.
Paul, Scorpion, Yale, I ixen, Eagle,
llupont, Haw k and Merrimac.
“How about the New York ? ’ asked
Judge Wilson. “1 want bo expedite the
proceedings.”
“1 have no objection.” responded
('apt. Bendy. “I, too, want to hasten
the proceedings as much as possible.
Proceeding, Capt. Bendy said he had
suggested such logs as he considered
essential and that he would have print
ed the points considered pertinent.
He then indicated the time that he de
: li ed covered by the matter to be print
ed, but Admiral Schley’s counsel ob
jected and asked that the entire logs
from the time that the fleet left Key
West until after the battle off Santiago
be made available. After some ex
changes of opinion on the part of coun
sel. the understanding was reached
that such parts c) f the logs as either
side desired could be printed.
(apt. Bendy al.-o presented the
steam lags of the Brooklyn, Texas.
Massachusetts, Town and the Marble
head. Admiral Schley’s counsel asked
to have the log of the Spanish ship
Ulirstobal Colon presented.
••Vers w 'll, if we can find a Spanish
scholar to go through it and select the
facts wanted,” said Capt. Betnly.
“Admiral Schley is a good Spanish
scholar, and he can make su h selec
-1 ions a we may desire,” responded Mr.
Ttayner.
Cniit. Nolir icr ’•lake* n Correction.
Commander Schroeder was recalled
and asked if he desired to make any
corrections in the oflieial record of his
testim ny of Saturday. “There is one
omission from Admiral Schley’s re
marks on the Massachusetts on the
day of thie bombardment of the Colon
which 1 overheard, which I should like
to supply,” he replied.
“It is this: He said when he came
aboard that Admiral Sampson would
be there on the following day. He
made that statement in connection
with his remark that he was going in
to sink the Colon.”
When Commander Sehroeder left the
stand he was requested to return
Tuesday and correct the mflieial copy
of liis testimony of Monday if neces
sary. He said he would do so and
asked if he could then be excused. “I
desire to make my preparations for
returning to Guam,” he said. He was
told that he could do so.
'iln* llntlle of July it.
Lieutenant Commander B. C. Ileiluer,
who was navigator of the Texas dur
ing the Spanish war, was next called.
Tin witness was asked to describe the
battle of July 3, ami said: “The Texas
had been heading about east w hen thq
enemy was seen coming out of San
tiago. l.'.eut. Bristol, who was officer
i>f tlie deck at the time, rang to go
ahead full speed and put helm hard to
t-tarlxiard to make a turn.
“Wrn 1 got on deck he informed me
of what had happened and I seat him
below and assumed charge of the deck.
The captain told me that he had eased
their helm until lie could find out
which way the ships wen? going, and
he also rang half speed. I suggested

to him about the Brooklyn regarding

1 also referred to the way 1 thought
the Brooklyn was at anting up to fight
- very nicely. The captain said: ‘Oh,
craekie! N-ver mind the Brooklyn.
You look out for this ship.’ The Brook
lyn then was about on her port beam.
So I sail: 'All right, captain. I will
look at the Brooklyn no more.' and 1
turned my back, looking on the star

After we sheered around and got to

he did. Bight after he gave her this

diately stepped back, and then I said:
‘My Bord, captain, we are out of the

ahead of us this big gray ship loomed
out of the smoke. For a second I
thought my heart was in my mouth.
We were steaming with a heavy helm
and she steered by us. When I saw her
she was practically ahead of us. That
is the first I saw. She sheered off and
went to .yea, I should say about 2,000
yards, and then on to westward. As
soon as the Brooklyn cleared us we

that was just inside the line where the
Oregon was encaging the ships. Just
before this turn >:>f the Brooklyn the
lowa and the Oregon were both close
to us on the starboard helm. We con
tinued the chase until the Colon
hauled down her flag, when the cap
tain gave the order to stop forced
draft.”
The Time of Grentesit Danner.
“At what time during the battle of
Santiago do you consider that the
Texas was in the greatest danger?”
asked Capt. Lemly.
Mr. Kayner objected, contending
that such opinions were shut out by
a previous ruling of the court. Mr.
Hanna said there were many minor
points on which five court must from
time to time ask the opinion of wit
nesses. The point was also argued
on the one side by Capt. Lemly and
on the other by Judge Wilson.
The court overruled the objection,
and the question was repeated.
“Looking back,” responded 1 lie wit
ness, “I know that the time of the
greatest danger of the Texas was
when tlie Brooklyn loomed up out of
the smoke right ahead of us.”
to iii |il iin (Mi t k (apt. IMiilip*.
He said in response to questions
that ite had never sailed with a man
who had quicker sight or who
handled his ship to better advantage
than Capt. Philip. He added that
the captain had on this occasion
given successive orders and that the
Texas had backed “until it was dead
in the water.” He said that on ac
count of this incident two or three
minutes had been lost and that fully
three miles were lost, to the ship. A
part of this delay had, however, he
said, been caused on account of the
fault of the ship’s blowers, render
ing the vessel slow in getting up
steam.
An Inaccurate Otlicinl ( hurt.
When the court convened at two
o’clock Mr. Kayner continued his
cross-examination of Commander
Heilner. He asked him especially
concerning the official chart of the
hat tit* off Santiago, exhibiting the
chart. The witness said he had
been one of the board of navigators
who had prepared the chart. He
had testified that the Brooklyn was
only 150 yards’ distant when she
crossed the course of the Texas, but
he stated that according to the
chart the distance was about 1,800
feet when the Brooklyn was mak
ing her famous loop.
But. he said, “we are going
through a Ipt of matter here which is
worthless.”
“Oh, it is worthless, is it?” ques
tioned Mr. Bavner. “According to the
map the two vessels were never near
er than within 2,400 feet of each
other.”
The witness replied that he con
sidered the map inaci urate.
Mr. Hanna interposed to say that
if the point intended to be made was
that the chart is inaccurate the gov
ernment would concede at once that
this was true.
“It is a great pity that you never
conceded that before,” said Mr. Kay
ner. i
“We have never had the opportu
nity.” responded Capt. Bemly.
Mr. Kayner then commented quite
vigorously upon the fact that the
chart was an oflieial document. After
a careful inspection of the map, Com
mander Heilner revised his state
ment, saying that the distance was
about Half a mile, as shown by tlie
chart. ,
Commander Heilner also said that
the chart made the Brooklyn go half
a mile out to sea in making its loop;
that on that point the chart was also
inaccurate. At the time he said the
Texas was going at the rate of about
12 knots an hour.
< roatCH ii La ast It.
The witness stated that he had not
in his examination in chief meant to
say that the ship had lost three miles
in as many minutes, but that in all
that much time had been lost. “I
saw a bright smile on your face when
I said it,” added the witness to Mr.
Kayner, “and thought you misunder
stood." Thereupon all laughed, the
members of the court included.
The witness was asked by Mr. Kav
ner concerning tlie stoppage of the
Texas when the Brooklyn appeared in
front of her. “The signals,” witness
answered, “were to ‘slow,’ ‘stop’ and
‘back,’ one ri-rht on top of the other,
before I eo ild say a word between.”
“Does anything appear in vour
log utioiit that?” asked Mr. Kayner.
Nut ill tin* I,«K,
“Nothing,” answered the witness,
"it was not on the log. I can tell you
why it was not, because Capt. Philip
said he did not like to have anything
in it l swore to the judge advocate
of the court that 1 would not bring
i.p a dead man to substantiate any
thing 1 said, and that 1 would not
bring tip this point, and I am sorry I
brought it up, but Capt. Philip said lie
would not put it in his oflieial report.
I hope 1 can get some one to substan
tiate me on that point because there
was another gentleman in the cabin
when he made his official report."
"Do you recollect, ns you brought
up this statement of Capt. Philip, the
tatement he made about the danger
of collision?”
“No. He spoke to me hundreds of
times about it.”
Mr. Kayner—Here are his own
words.
Mr. Hanna—Mr. President, we ob
ject to reading from magazines.
Mr. Kayner—l don’t think the Cen
tury Magazine would credit any arti
cle to Capt. Philip that was not
written by him. I am not going to
read from it. I do not intend to read
from the magazine except for my
own information. Here is what Capt.
Philip says. Do you recollect Capt.
Philip ever saying that: “The col
lision which seemed to be imminent,
even if .it was not, was averted?”
“No, I do not recollect it,” replied
tlie witness.
To Drag Samioon Into It.
“Did you see any signals from the
New York on the day of the battle?”
asked Mr. Kayner.
"Me did not reee’ve any signals from
that vessel on that day until in the
afternoon,” replied the witness.
The witness also said that the New
York had not come up until after ihe
last of the Spanish ships came out of
the harbor.
Capt. Lemly here interposed to ask
the purpose of these inquiries, and
Mr. Kayner stated that it was to be
able to make comparisons between
Schley’s blockade and Sampson’s, be
cause if it could be shown that
Schley’s blockade was equal to Samp
son’s he could not be considered cen
surable.
He also said that it could be shown
that the Colon was visible when Ad
miral Sampson came up.
Capt. l.erilv objected, not only to

the line,of questions, but to tile line
of argument.
Replying, Mr. Rayner said that,
notwithstanding the strenuous ef
forts of Capt. Lemly to keep Admiral
Sampson out of the controversy he
would inevitably be brought into it,
not for the purpose of criticism, but
for the purpose of showing that Ad
miral Schley had merely obeyed the
orders of his superior officer, who i
was Admiral Sampson, in doing what
he had done.
Schley to Make Three Points.
Continuing, Mr. Itayner said that
Admiral Schley wanted to prove three
things. These were: First.—lt is
maintained that the blockade as main
tained by Commodore Schley was the
same, in so far as distances were con
ferred, as that maintained by Admiral
Sampson.
Second.—The failure to engage the
Colon further on May 31 was in the
line of Sampson’s policy as developed
after his arrival on June 1, when the
Colon was still in sight.
Third.—That the Brooklyn had her
place in the line of blockade assigned
by Sampson when the Spanish fleet
came out on July 3.
At four o’clock the court of Inquiry
adjourned until Tuesday.

Fixed from 10 A. M. to I I*. M. with
Recess from 13 \oon to 2 O'clock.
Buffalo, N. Y., Sept. 24.—Leon F.
Czolgosz was placed on trial Monday
for the murder of President McKinley
on September G. The trial was in the
supreme court of Erie county, Judge
Truman C. White presiding.
The trial began at ten o’clock, but
long before that hour the streets in
the vicinity of the city hall were the ob
jective of many curious*persons. They
were willing to take chances on being
admitted to the courtroom, even
though the} - knew that there were but
130 seats available. The various en
trances to the great building, with the
exception of that on Franklin street,
were closed and guarded. Policemen
were everywhere, and rigid discipline
was the order of the day.
Tlie Prisoner Brought In.
At 10:16 there was a bustle in the
corridor and a squad of policemen
brought in the prisoner. He was hand
cuffed to an officer on each side, w hile
in front and behind him walked other
uniformed policemen.
The prisoner was attired in a new
suit of dark gray, a white shirt and a
collar and a light blue bow tie. His
face was cleanly shaven and his- hair
combed.
He sat down behind his counsel with
two officers in plain clothing imme
diately in his rear.
District Attorney Penney proceeded
at once wyth the reading of the indict
ment. He spoke to Czolgosz in a low
voice, in fact so low that when the
prisoner was asked to plead he seemed
not to understand what had been said.
Justice White a-ked him: “What
have you to say’’
There was a moment's hesitation.
Then the prisoner’s lips moved as if
to make reply, but before he could do
so, his junior counsel, Mr. Lewis, arose
to speak, not having seen the prison
er’s motion.
Justice White, however, insisted
that Czolgosz should speak, and the
prisoner said:
“I didn’t hear whnt he said.”
Pleads “Guilty.“
District Attorney Penney then read
the indictment again in a louder
voice and to the demand for a reply
the prisoner, who was standing at
the time, said, in a very low voice:
“Guilty.”
This plea was, however, not permit
ted to stand under the law, and a
plea of “not guilty” was at once or
dered by the court.
Mr. Titus, junior counsel for the de
fense, then arose and stated to the
court the facts already known as to
his connection with the case. He ex
plained that the position of himself
and his associates. Judge Lewis and
Mr. Ladd, was a peculiar one and con
sisted mainly in making sure that ail
the forms of and justice were ob
served in the prosecution.
Justice White, in reply, compli
mented counsel for the defense and
said that the prisoner could have no
better counsel and that whatever the
outcome it would reflect only credit
and honor on them.
iinpnnelihit Hie Jury.
The examination nnd swearing-in
of the jurors was then begun, the
, prisoner standing as each was sworn,
j The first juror was summoned at
j 10:26. His name is Frederick V.
| Lauer, a plumber. He was examined
| briefly by the district attorney and
| counsel for the defense. No objee
! tion was made and Lauer was ac-
I cepted.
I Other jury men accepted were: Rich
| ard J. Garwood, a street railway fore
man; Henry W. Wendt, a local manu
facturer: Silas Farmer, a farmer liv
ing at Clarence; Janifs S. Sty gall, a
plumber; William I.oton. a farmer of
Fdon; Walter E. Everett, a black
smith. and Benjamin J. Ralph, a bank
cashier, making the eighth juryman
accepted when the court adjourned
for the noon recess.
Session* of the Court Fixed.
After the acceptance of the seventh
juror, Judge Lewis* addressed the
court, saying that inasmuch as both
he and his principal associate were
aged men, and owing to the sudden
ness nf their connection with the ease
and the fact that they had little time
for preparation, he desired the ses
sions of the court to be as abort as pos
sible. He believed the progress of the
ease would be in no wise be hind ’red or
delayed by short hours. He suggested
that court convene at ten a. lit. and
close at four p. m., and that there be
an intermission from 12 noon until two
p. m.
Justice White expressed himself as
being agreeable to this arrangement,
believing the request to be a reason
able one. He therefore made this
hours of the court to conform with Mr.
Lewis’ request.
Distinguished Witnesses Present.
John G. Milburn, the host of Pres
ident McKinley, and at whose home
the death of the president occurred,
came into the courtroom at 11:30.
There were only four women in the
courtroom, three inside the railing a.s
guests oi the court, and one in the
spectators’ seats.
One by one the government’s wit
nesses had come in and at 11:30 there
were present:. Assistant Superintend
ent P. B. Cusick. of the police; Dr. Her
man Mynter and Dr. M. D. Mann, who
attended the president; Dr. James W.
Putnam, Drs. Joseph Fowler and Floyd
S. Crego, local physicians.
Jury In Completed.
Evidently the general public appre-
eiated the fact that it would be prac
tically impossible to get a glimpse of
the scenes within the city hall, for
very few persons stood about the en
trance when the witnesses and attor
neys began to,file back into the build
ing after the noon recess. The pris
oner was brought in manacled, as be
fore, to two officers, and at two o'clock
Justice White resumed the session.
The jury wa.s quickly completed by
the acceptance of Samuel P. Waldo,
Andrew J. Smith, Joachim If. Mertens,
dealer in boots and shoes, and Robert
J. Adams, a contractor.
licit in Taking; of Testimony.
Assistant District Attorney Haller
briefly presented the case of the prose
cution to the jury and at 2:55 the first
witness was called.
Percy A. Bliss, the second witness,
testified that on the day following
the crime he photographed the interior
of the Temple of Music at the district
attorney’s request. The photographs,
which were very large ones, were
passed to the defendant’s counsel.
The latter made no objection to the
admission of these as evidence and
they were then passed to the jurors.
The Autopay.
I)r. Harvey R. Gaylord, of Buffalo,
who was then called, testified that he
performed the autopsy upon the body
•of President McKinley. He described
the location of the wounds in the
stomach and the direction of the
bullet. “Back of the stomach,”
he said, “was a track into which I
could insert the tip of my fingers.
It was filled with a dark fluid
matter.” The search for the bullet
was not continued after the cause of
death had been ascertained. The pan
creas was seriously involved. The
cause of death was a gunshot wound.
The organs of the body other than
those affected by the wounds were in
a normal condition. On cross-exam
ination by Judge Lewis, witness said
the autopsy was performed nine days
after the wound had been caused.
The process of healingof the wounds in
the stomach had begun. The tissues
beyond the stomach had been affected
by gangrene. The kidneys showed
changes which could only have been
caused by a wound during life.
Dr. Herman Mynter, who assisted
Dr. Mann “in the operation upon the
president at the exposition hospital,
gave his testimony, and, at four p. m.
the court adjourned for the day.
