Successful
[By Associated Press 1
PITTSBURG. Dec. S.— Coal operat
ors, mine owners, engineers, practical
miners, scientists and national and
state officials, all here for the meeting
of the mining congress, participated
this afternoon In the formal dedication
of the federal governemnt'B laboratory
and testing station established recently
In this city.
A series of tests in an artificial mine
In which conditions of real mines are
reproduced as far as possible, showing
the results from various explosives
and from 30-cullt'd safety agencies, was
the most interesting feature of the
ceremony.
The first test was a safety powder,
dry fire clay and bituminous coal dust,
the latter placed on shelves represent
ing ledges in mines. The powder was
ignited for the blast and did not ex
plode the dust.
There was a terrific explosion during
the fourth test, when 1.1 pounds of
black powder and twentjt pounds of
road dust (actual mine dust) were
used. The recoil was strong and the
flames covered the full length of the
artificial mine. »
The test proved the combination to
be exceedingly dangerous. At this
point experts appeared bearing the
Draeger oxygen apparatus, including
metal and glass hoods, chemical cham
ber and air bag designed to render
breathing normal, or nearly so, while
the operator is surrounded by the most
deadly gases and vapors.
The men hurried into the gallery still
filled with fumes of the explosion and
apparently were not affected by any
of the gases. This device is designed
particularly for rescue work, and was
used with good results at Marlanna.
MRS. RICE STATE'S
WITNESS FOR TODAY
Dr. Rustin's Companion Will Be Per.
mltted to Tell Entire Story, In.
eluding Death Pact with
Davit
[By Associated Press.l
OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 3.—The evidence
given today by Mrs. Abbie B. Rice and
the vigorous efforts of counsel for the
defense to exclude that part of It con
necting Charles Edward Davis, the de
fendant, with the killing of Dr. Fred
erick T. Rußtin, were the features to
day of the trial of Davis for the phy
sician's murder on the morning of Sep
tember 2. Two or three minor wit
nesses were called Just after court con
vened this morning, and Mrs. Rice oc
cupied the stand the remainder of the
day.
Her recital of the story of her rela
tions with the dead surgeon was not
less dramatic than on the two former
occasions when she had been asked
to give the details of an alleged pact
to destroy three lives. Twice during
the day witness and Jury were dis
missed while counsel argued points of
law as to the admissibllity of por
tions of her evidence, and In each in
stance the state scored «. clean-cut
victory.
By a ruling made on the last point
raised, the bars are let down for the
hearing of Mrs. Rice's entire story,
which will include that part wherein
Dr. Rustin is alleged to have told her
he had engaged Davis to kill him.
Once during the narrative, when she
referred to Rustin's mother, Mrs. Rice
broke into tears, but soon regained her
composure. Her evidence was given in
a clear voice and with a good memory
lor detail. Mrs. Rice had reached the
point where Davis was brought into her
story when she was excused for the
day.
The defendant sat near, listening; nt
tentatively to the proceedings, and
near him sat his two brothers. One of
them, Frederick Davis, is vice presi
dent of the First National bank, and
the other. Latham Davis, is a promi
nent capitalist. The latter took notes
foro counsel for the defense.

[By Associated Preu.]
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 3.—Poison
conveyed in a letter mailed In this
city yesterday is believed to have
caused the death of Henry Boat, a
salesman for the Pennant Electric
company, who was discovered in a
dying condition in his apartments at
2816 Harrison street early today, and
who expired a few moments later
without regaining consciousness.
A communication purporting to be
from a physician, but which displayed
ignorance of the primary principles of|
medicine, was sent to Boas yesterday j
by special delivery, and all the evi
dence In the possession of the police
Indicates that the letter, penned by a
woman, contained two powders which
the recipient was urgently advised to
take as a remedy for indigestion, but
which were in fact of poisonous char
acter.
Acting upon clues found among the
dead man's papers, a detective was
this morning sent to San Jose to in
terview Mrs. G. G. Walker of 63 South
Fifth street, in that city, whose daugh
ter Is said to have been a friend of
Boas. The police, besing their calcu
lations upon the fact that the letter
was dated so as to indicate it was
written in San Jose, are positive that
a clue to the sender will be found
through tracing all possible friends
and acquaintances of the dead man in
that city.
An examination of the contents of
the stomach of Henry Boas, made this
afternoon, showed the presence of
atylchnine in slfficlent quantity to
cause death.
SAN FRANCISCO POLICE
SEEK CLEW IN SAN JOSE
SAN JOSE, Dec. 3.—Detective Gal
lagher of the San Francisco police
force, aided by Chief of Police Edward
Haley and Detective Charles Hlnes of
the San Jose department, conducted an
extensive Investigation in this city to
day into the career of Harry Boas and
more particularly the character of his
relations with Miss "Patsy" or Miss
Annie Kelliher, a young wom,an em
ployed as a hello girl In the local tele
phone exchange and with whom he had
carried on an extensive correspondence
for the past year and a half.
Miss Kelliher, accompanied by her
sister and Mrs. G. G. Walker, their
landlady, were summoned tonight to
the police station and closely ques
tioned. '
At the conclusion of the Inquiry the
officers expressed themselves as being
satisfied that none of the members of
the Walker household had anything to
do with'the death of Boas.
Chief 6f Police Haley stated that he
was satisfied that Boas committed sul
side after writing and addressing to
himself the mysterious letter dated San
Jose but mailed in San Francisco, and
In which he Is supposed to have re
ceived the poißon which ended his life.
This theory is based on the similarity
of the handwriting in the mysterious
letter and a letter which he is known
to have written Miss Kelliher. No evi
dence which would indicate a motive
for either suicide or a murder was un
earthed here. Miss Kelllher's charac
ter is said to be above reproach, and
she is engaged to a young man who left
this city five weeks ago for Portland.
She received a present of a pair of dia
mond earrings since that time from
Boas, but the officers believe her story
that she protested against the presenta
tion and only consented to receive the
Jewels when she saw that Boas would
be greatly offended should she refuse
them.

FEDERAL COUNSEL
FAILS TO OBJECT
MYSTERY OF BIG LOANS NOT
UNRAVELED
ARCHBOLD IS IGNORANT ON THIS
SUBJECT
P. F. Trainor, Who Is Supposed to
Have Received $22,000,000,
Knows Nothing of the
Transaction
[By Associated Presi]
NEW YOKK, Dec. 3.—Efforts on
the part of the federal counsel to ob
tain information regarding the loans
aggregating $22,000,000 to K. F. Train
or by the Southern Pipe Line com
pany, a standard subsidiary, came to
nothing today in the cross-examination
1 of John D. Archbold in the government
suit to dissolve the so-called trust.
For over a year Frank D. Kellogg,
government Inquisitor, has pursued
every trail to find out the purpose of
these 'large loans, but tonight he ap-
I peared to be no nearer the solution of
the mystery.
* Mr. Archbold said that he knew of
no reason for the loans, which, he said,
might have represented the adjust
ments between rrfinlne; compilings
which Mr. Trainor supplied oil.
Mr. Trainor, who is connected with
the Standard's pipe line system, had
previously testified that he did not
know of the loans and nevfer received
the money.
Much of Mr. Archbold's cross-exami
nation today had to do with rebates
paid by railroads In the early days. He
took the position that the rebates at
that time were a matter of bargain
ing, in which «each shipper strove to
obtain the best terms.

BALLOT BOXES ESCORTED
THROUGH CONSTANTINOPLE
CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 3.—A
scene unprecedented in the history of

by a detachment of troops, several
bands and delegates from various re
ligious bodies, the whole making a pro
cession two miles long.
The city was profusely decorated,
and there was great enthusiasm.
A protocol between Turkey and
Montenegro settling the boundary dis

making b. few minor changes, was
signed in this city today.
"MOONSHINERS" OPERATE
IN MIDST OF BIG CITY
CLEVELAND, Ohio, Dec. 3.—There
are moonshiners in Cleveland. It is
commonly supposed that the manufac
ture of illicit whisky is contined to the
mountainous region of Kentucky, Ten
nessee and other southern states, but
such is not the case. A large number
of moonshiners carry on the business
in the heart of Cleveland.
Hundreds of gallons of illicit whisky
are distilled and sold here under the
very eyes of the revenue officers. These
quiet stills are operated more exten
sively among the .Russian immigrants
than any other class, although repre
sentatives of other nationalities are
engaged in this lucrative profession.
They are very careful in their move
ments, for the revenue officers are con
tinually on the lookout for them, and
they employ every conceivable means
of precaution and escape in case of
being trapped. While the penalty for
the first offense is comparatively light,
if they are caught a second time the
punishment is severe.
A few weeks ago a distillery on the
west side was discovered and several
hundred gallons of whisky on which the
tax had not been paid were confiscated.
Most of the moonshiners, however, con
duct their business so carefully that
they remain undetected for years.
Sometimes the stills are conducted In
basements, sometimes in upper stories,
and two or three buildings are rented
by moonshiners and used apparently for
other purposes, while in reality they
are but a blind to mislead.
It is extremely difficult to locate
these distilleries, and skill and experi
ence are required on the part of the
detective to "smell them out." Usually
the moonshiners suspend business dur
ing the day, but under the cover of
darkness operate In full blast. If the
plant is of any considerable size the
trained ear of the detective can recog
nize the chug of the machinery at work.
He Is more apt, though, to locate the
still by the peculiar odor arising from
the chimneys, and one familiar with the
smell can detect it as quickly as an
opium den.
On nights when there Is a fog or
the atmosphere hang* heavy over the
city, the smell settles down and It Is
easy to locate the neighborhood. To
find the exact building, however, it is
necessary to climb over roofs and sniff
the chimneys. The moonshiners keep
a close watch of the revenue men, and
as soon as they see that their neigh
borhood Is being watched they suspend
operations. They are always ready to
make a quick "getaway," and even If
their location is discovered the reve
nue men rarely get more than their
paraphernalia and some of the whisky.
The operations of the moonshiners
in Cleveland are on a very small scale
compared with the business done by
their fellow workers in the mountain
fastnesses of Kentucky and Tennessee.
The quantity of whisky made at each
still here is so small that It can hardly
be detected, white every precaution
Is taken to guard against discovery.
IMPROPER PACKING
CAUSES FRUIT DECAY
Government Will Send Cold Storage
Car to California to Cool Fruit
Immediately After
Picking
[By Associated Press]
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.—That most
of the decay in fruit In connection with
its storage comes from improper pack
ing was the consensus of opinion de
veloped today at the session of the
American Warehousemen's association.
The subject to arouse perhaps the
greatest interest was tho experimental
cold storage car built under the direc
tion of the agricultural department
whirl! it is the purpose of Secretary
Wilson to send to California and after
ward to Florida, where iliei-e are no
refrigerating plants, to conduct experi
ments With fruit by cooling it imme
diately at the orchards.
The car Is said to be capable of prp
ducing a temperature of 16 degrees be
low zero.
A general talk on cold storage wok
given by Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, chief
chemist of the department of agricul
ture, who contended that it was more
adf/antageous to cool produce than to
freeze it, as freezing, he said, unques
tionably altered its natural condition.
