Bowen, who lives on Smith avenue, East street, tes- beld morning and afternoon sessions, and adjourned at about 5.46 o'clock, Judge T. J. Kelly directing the ad- journment till 8 o'clock this morning, tified to being opposite Hopkins & Al- len's that night when the men came out. He followed the crowd down towards the Bquare and was there un- | inhaler and bet! and informing the attorneys that h should have to insist on their post- poning all other business in order to attend to the matter of the conclusion of this trial Final Arguments Today. ‘When the court comes in this morn- ing the attorneys for the defendants will proceed with arguments, which will pave the way for the judge to de- clare his deoision in the trial. Attor- neys Thomas M, Shields, J. J. Des- mond and Roderick M. Douglass are all to make arguments at the court gesslon this morning. Friday morning the trial was taken up after the other court matters for the day had been disposed of. In the spectators’ seats were 33 men and four women. Stanley Pluma took the stand again at the request of Attorney Douglass | and said the shot was fired after there had been some stones thrown. He tes- tifled to what he said he saw of the part David Ferns, Harry Hankin, George Malcolm and William H. Bow- en took in the fight. He Fired the Shot. The next witness was Grzegorz Doszjosski, the man who fired the shot that wounded Hankin. The wit- ness said he was 24 years old and had lived in this country three years. He knew the other men in the trouble but little. He testified of the way the crowd followed the men on the way home from the Hopkins & Allen Arms company factory that night, and of trying to keep out of their way by go- ing over North CHff strest. He said there were stomes thrown on Roath street ‘and also near the Polish hall on North Main stret, and the crowd kept following the men who had come from the shop and kept calling them | names and threatening to injure them. He said he was knocked down by a stone thrown by Hankin, and he was dazed, and when he saw Hankin stopping over him he fired a shot, as he thought his life was in danger. He also sald he fired one shot into the ground when the crowd was following. He said there wehe shouts and threats to_“kill those scabs.” Doszjosski said his face and jaw, where he was hit by the stone thrown by Hankin, still trouble him. Be- cause of threatening letters which he had received and because of the gen- eral conditions that he knew about, he had put the pistol into his pocket on the Friday before the riot, which oc- curred on Tuesday. This witness was cross-examinted at length by City Attorney Hall, and| court adjourned at 12.20 while the cross-examination was still in prog- ress. Afternoon Session Began Late. Adjournment was taken till 3 o'clock, but at that hour Attorney Shields wds engaged in some other business, and he was not able to get to court till nearly 4 o'clock, when the trial was resumed and the cross-examination of Doszjosski was concluded. Witnesess for the defense were in- troduced. Paul B. Dayton said he was at a cigar store on Franklin square on the night of the trouble and that a few minutes after the 6 o’clock car had gone from the square he saw Mr.| Bowen there, who came across the square then to him. The witness said he knew it was after the Greeneville car had gone because Dayton did not that G ville in the car g0 up to Greene e night, but walked up with some ‘which the man said he would not work til about 6.06. He then went along| Main street ‘and at the woolen mill corner he met a man named Stockdale, with whom he was standing talking, when he heard one shot and later he heard another shot. Then he walked up North Main street to near the, Polish hall and was with Mr. Hinchey. | The witness said that one of the previ- | ous witnesses had taliked to him there | and told him they would give them all the trouble they wanted. Mr. Bowen told of his later actions during the evening until he went to bed. On cross examination the witness objected to City Attorney Hall’s desig- nation of him as one of the “strikers,” as he sald there was no strike, but it was® a lockout. He told of being at the factory entrance in the morning and at noon of the day of the shooting and told of speaking to one man who had come on from Hartford to g0 to work at the factory, in consequence of there. Mr. Bowen denied that he had gone up CLff street, as a previous wit- ness had testified. He said he was among those that followed along down Franklin street after the Polish polish- ers, but at the square he left the crowd and crossed over to the opposite side of the square. Mr. Bowen de- nied that he told Chief Linton that he was at Franklin square at 6.10 o'clock and he could not remember that Chief Linton told him he was not telling the truth if he said he was in Franklin square at §.10, D. J. Hinchey Met Bowen. Daniel J. Hinchey was the next wit- ness, testifying to falling in with Mr, Bowen at the woolen mill corner, hav- ing left Porteous & Mitchell's at 6.05. They saw the crowd at Roath street and watched it for a minute and were then told to move on by the police- men. On_cross examination Mr. Hinchey said he could locate his time of leav- ing his place of employment, because the last thing that everybody did was to punch the clock. He allowed him- self 30 minutes to walk to his home on Oakridge street, not stopping any- where. Prosecuting Attorney Hall tried to get him to tell what time it was when he came upon Mr. Bowen at the woolen mill corner. The witness sald that he thought that point was a little over half way to the distance from the store to his home. Began the Arguments. Attorney T. M. Shields rested here and Judge Kelly directed the attorneys to_go on with the arguments. In his argument Prosecuting Attor- ey Hall claimed that all the accused were guilty and should be bound over to the superior court and should all be treated the same. The city attorney sald that in his complaint he had presented Hankin as principal and the other men as ao- cessories and that there were other charges which he might have made against them, but was only making this on the charge of assault with in- tent to kill. He referred to one of the accused, David Ferns, who he said had played fast and loose with the court, but Attorney Shields remarked that this man could be produced at any time. On behalf of William H. Bowen, At- torney T. M. Shields argued that there was nothing in the evidence to show that Bowen was taking any part in the | assault, and_he should be acquitted Attorney Shields had just begun his | argument for Mr. Malcolm when court adjourned until the next morning at 8 o’clock.

The practice of adulterating ofl of| birch and oil of wintergreen, used as flavors in food products, has grown | among some dealers, says the United | States bureau of chemistry at Wash- | ington, because the dealers thought the government experts could not de- tect the deception. The department of agriculture speciallsts, however, have now learned how to discover the presence of the synthetically or arti- ficlally made product. The natural ofl of birch is worth $1.50 to $2 a pound, and of wintergreen from $4.25 to $4.50 a pound, whereas the artifici- ally made methyl salicylate is worth only 80 cents a pound. Those who | were getting the artificial substance paid from 5 to 15 times the real price of the synthetic Twelve ship- ments of this adulterated produet have just been seized by the food au- thorities in various parts of the United States. American Shoes in Honduras. Consul Harold D. Clum, Ceiba, writes, there i{s a good demand for American boots and shoes in this con- sular district, in spite of its compara- tively small population and the fact that many persons of the poorer class do not wear shoes. The use of shoes among people of this clas is increas- ing, however. It is estimated that 25,000pairs of shoes of various kinds are sold annually in Ceiba alone, and probably 45,000 in the entire consular distriot. Practically all of the soes sold in this district come from the United States. The greater number are purchased from concerns in the South that send commercial travellers to this coast several time a year. The tollowing cost prices (f. o. b. New Or- leans) show the grades of shoes most commonly used here: Maean's, $1.35 to $2.76; women's, $1 to $2; children's, $0.45 to 3$1.35. HEAD STUFFED? GOT A COLD?
