Small, a w outlined in he district court today arred body of Mrs, Small was in the ruins of her home on the shore ipee lake, bearing evidence that d been beaten, shot and stran- nd the house set on fire to con- ceal the crime. The prosecution closed leaving the defense free morrow iis testimony in opposition to holling Small for the grand jury. It is understood, however, that the authorities have mnot com- pleted their investization along all lines. Nothing has been introduced as vet to show positively whether the woman was alive or dead when her husband left home in the afternoon for a trip to ioston. The fire was no discovered until 10 o'clock that night. Small told High Sheriff Arthur W Chandler, after his arrest, according to that officer’s testimony today, that he kisced his wife goodbye and waved farcwell to her in leaving. The man who drove him to the station could sorroborate this, he claimed. George Kennett, the driver, in his testimony, stated that Small bade “Goodbye” to someone he did not see. Dr. B. Frank Horne, the medical ref- sree, said he had found parts of Mrs. Small's body covered with a substance that looked like melted resin. A por- tion of the hody had been removed to determine the nature of this substance, he sald. Under cross examination Dr. E. 'W. Hodson, a former medical ref- ce, sald the use of resin might tend 0 make destruction of the body com- dlete, but the process would be a slow ome. ‘Th found its ca to enter to and arguments e, HUGHES IS RESTING FOR THIRD WESTERN CAMPAIGN Devoting Time to Correspondence and Preparation of Speeches.

AN ERROR DISCOVERED IN | REPUBLICAN STATE HAND BOOK Part of Platform Endorsing National Platform and C. E. Hughes Was Omitted. Hartford. Co in the recently n, Oct. 5.—An error issued republican state hand_book was discovered yesterday by Chairman J. Henry Roraback of the republican state central com: tee. The error has caused some dis- turbance in women suffrage circles but it is easily explained and several of the “votes for women” advocates who _have heard the explanation ex- pressed themselves as fully under- standing the unintentional situation, an insert has been prepared and will be put in the hand bhooks not vet dis- tributed and Chairman Roraback has written to all town chairmen pointing out the omission and enclosing the ssing paragraph. The hand_bo were printed in Hartford. The copy for the books was sent to the printing office from the republican state headquarters which is near the printing office. When the copy left the headquarters it was com- plete. Tt is evident that one sheet of the copy was lost on the way and the omission_escaped the proof readers The platform paragraph omitted from the hand book which is a part of the republican party’s platform in Connecticut as adopted by the state convention despite the omission from the hand book follows: “We, the representatives of the re- publican party of the state of Connec- ticut in convention assembled, do hereby pledge our allegiance to the platform adopted by the national re- publican convention and express our hearty approval of the republican candidates for president and vice president. = - T TRIAL OR AROOSTOOK POTATO SHIPPERS ASS'N Charged With Conspiracy to Restrain Trade in the Potato Industry. Boston, Oct. 5.—Agricultural organi- zations like the Aroostook Potato Shippers Association enjoy immunities similar to those of labor organiza- tions under the Clayton act, according to the contention of the defense in the case of the five members of the Aroostook Association on trial here charged with conspiracy to restrain trade in the potato industry in viola- tion of the Sherman anti-trust act. Herbert Parker, counsel for the de- fense, in his address to the jury to- day, discussed in detail the Sherman law and the limitations placed on it by the Clayton act, which, he said, made labor and agricultural organizations and their members immune from charges of restraining trade. The Aroostook Potato Shippers Association, he said, would be shown to be in es- sence a protective organization and wl:.h!n the provisions of the Clayton act. e Three Norwegian Steamers Sunk London, Oct. 5 955 p. m.—Three Norwegian steamers, the Brink, Knut ‘Warl and Nesjar, have been sunk, ac- cording to Reuter's Christiania_cor- respondent.

Both 'Mexicans and Americans _ still hope that the conferences may be brought to a satisfactory close by Oc- tober 15, but evidence of doubt on the part of some of the members of the commission was apparent today. At least four plans for border con- trol have been suggested, two by the Americans and two by the Mexicans, all involving the question of the withdrawal of General Persingis army from Chihuahua. The Americans have steadily insisted that Mexico's intcrnal problems, especially the operation of decrees affecting foreigners as well as the ability of the Carranza_ govern- ment to afford protection to foreigners and their property, must be considered as an integral part of any agreement for border control. The Mexicans have acceded to the attitude of the Americans, although not without reluctance. Whether the discussions today brought the com- missioners any closer to an agree- ment was neither admitted nor denied. The details of the plans suggested were not revealed. INVENTORY OF J. J.

GERM IN ADENOIDS OF PARALYSIS VICTIMS Produced Paralytic Affliction When Injected Into Lower Animal; New York, Oct. 5.—A peculiar germ found in small abscesses in the tonsils and adenoids of victims of infantile paralysis has produced an afiliction similar to infantile paralysis when in- jected into lower animals, according to Dr. E. C. Rosenow of the Mayo Foundation at Rochester, Minn, who addressed a meeting of the New York Academy of Medicine tonight. Dr. Rosenow sald that exveriments had been conducted by himself and other physicians of the Mayo Founda- tion of rabbits, guinea pigs, monkeys, cats and dogs. He declared marked improvement was shown in cases of infantile paralysis following the re- moval of the tonsils and adenofds. When cultures made from _the germs found in the abscessed tonsils and adenoids of patients were injected into the lower animals, Dr. Rosenow added, the paralysis developed in from 24 hours to ten days. The time de- pended, he asserted, not on the strength of the virus, but the size of the injection.
