The state- ment was made with much emphasis and in tone of voice that was nettling counsel for contestant. It could » seen that a storm was brewing for the cross-examination and it came.

Duperu would make no va- riation in response other than by tone | of voice, which showed rising anger. | Johnson finally won out and the wit- ness hotly shouted “No,” adding that he had already told the fact of the matter. The lawyer, instant in conflict, declared that the witness would have to answer questions. Both were in high voice and nettled manner. Attorney Pillsbury was at last moved { to fake a hand, but his thrust was at Judge Coffey. “Isn’t it about time we had a Judge here?” he demanded. Johnson was quick to suggest rebuke for such a reflection on the court. *I would not dare to make such a com- ment, but coming from the other side "= ems to be different,” ingerposed smilingly. | The mood of the court was right and | | everybody escaped a lambasting.

Johnson will go on with the cross- examination of Duperu this morning, it being but barely begun yesterday, and lively proceedings are expected. OWED MUCH TO MISS WARREN. | The cross-examination of Miss Mary Josselyn was concluded yesterday morn- irg. She sald she had never noticed any signs of depression in Miss Dol- beer. Miss Genevieve King followed | with testimony to the effect that the | testatrix enjoyed her last sojourn in | Paris very much, the witness being | there at the time. Miss King described the visit of a party, of which Miss Dol- beer was one, to the Are de Triomphe. {Mrs. Gertrude Brander, Miss Lily | Spreckels, Miss Alice Hager, William | P. Horn, John H. Mee and Henry M. Holbrook testified as to the social ac- tivities in which Miss Dolbeer partici- pated up to the time she left San Fran- cisco, and all were positive her mind was sound. To Holbrook, Miss Dolbeer had said Miss Warren was her best and dearest friend, and expressed the hope that some day she could repay all the kindnesses her companion had shown her. “I would not know what to do with- out Miss Warren,” she had exclaimed. Miss Hager explained how proficient Miss Dolbeer was at golf, which she ' Judge (‘oflay when | voice had an added | note of sternness as he again put the| X3 played with much zest.

DOLBEER 1904, CO0K SURVIVES TERRIFIC FALL | Tumbles hom T\m Stoni | Window and Is Not Hurt by Remarkable Plunge — C Frank E. Germain, a cook, living at 402 Fifth street, fell from the second story window of his home late yester- viously intoxicated. No sober man could have experienced the same pre- | cipitation and sustained so few in-| | juries. i Germain had been “boozing.” In an| endeavor to give his muddied brain a purer atmosphere he attempted to open the window overlvoking the street. For a few moments he struggled with the obstinate sash and his arm went through the glass, sending a shower of the broken pane on the heads of pedes- trians. A crowd attracted by the noise ( gathered and stared dt the man and | the window. While they gazed Ger- main’s efforts were rewarded by the | giving way of the window. With a | crash both sash and man fell forty feet !'to the pavement below. Tha crowd i held its breath in horror. The nimble Frenchma by the impact, rose to his feet in time to receive his frantic wife in his arms. The situation was too much for Frank and the two rolled over amid a volume of French phrases. Then Germain went out of business. The ambulance came. ! ed the injured man Emergency Hospital and found him' very little infured. The diagnosis was| “possible internal injuries.”” Germain, jag and injuries were put to bed. Last night the man lay awake figuring out ' the evils of French vermouth and its; peculiar effects. e et L | DALAI LAMA WELCOMED BY FEOPLE OF MONGOLIA Dr. Hill treat- at the Central; Makes His Way to Urga and Will Take Up His Residence in Buddhist Monastery.

The President and Mrs. Roosevelt chatted with them animat- edly for a couple of minutes. Then, from the rear platform, President Rooseveit addressed the considerable 'erowd assembled as follows: { “Ladies and Gentlemen: I am very glad to see I know Richmond of old. T have always thought highly of Indiana, but during the last three 'weeks have had cause to think even more highly of it."” Voice in crowd: “How about Mis- souri?” “I tell you, Missouri is surely all right.

BERLIN, Nov. 28.—The publication on the eve of the opening of the Reichstag, which will convene this afternoon, of the Government's pro- posals to increase the peace footing of the army by 10,000 men, and for defi- nite legislative enactment providing for two vears' service with the colors in all branches of the army except (cavalry and field artillery, rounds out a programme which the imperial rep- resentatives are not likely to dispose of before the Christrias adjournment, even without di ssion of commercial tréaties, Which the Government is not ' ready to submit. The substance of the military pro- bosals is s0 well known, and the pro- : posed increase of the army is so slight compared with the increase of popu- lation, that the newspapers print the text of the proposed law with little save explanatory comment. The same is true of the bill definitely Lommnung thef Government to the two years’ ser- vice plan after eleven years of experi- ence. Far more comment is evoked by the growing yearly increase of the | s | proposals. —ee—————— BULOW PROCLAIMS FRIENDSHIP FOR ENGLAND VON German Chancellor Denies That He Is Fomenting Anglo-Russian Hatred.
