WHEELING, W. Vs., Jan. JO.—Tbe
atate today began its work of weaving
a powerful web of circumstantial evidence around Mrs. Laura Farnsworth
Schenk, charged with attempting to
poison ber millionaire husband, John
O. Schenk. While but four witnesses
bave been examined, Prosecuting Attorney J. B. Handlan has shown tbe
tread of tbe case which he expects to
set up.
'' Three witnesses were questioned in
the morning, but it was at the afternoon session when Dr. Frank De
Moyne Hupp, toe physician who discovered and revealed the alleged poison plot, was,pnt upon the stand, that
sensational developments began to
come. This witness was under direct
•gemination throughout the entire afternoon session and Strong points were
made by the state, li was shown by
hia testimony that Jobn O. Schenk
was, the victim of poisons, lead and
arsenic.
A Dramatic Incident.
The most dramatic incident .of tbe
day came when Dr. Hupp declared
tbat Mrs. Schenk had said to him on
the occasion of a visit to the millionaire's bome: "Perhaps I would be
better satisfied if you let him die,".
Through William Wolfe, the companion of John O. Schenk in bis
travels through Europe, the state
showed that the packer was in perfect
health during all the trip. Tbat bis
illness developed soon after bis return,
and a Utter cross-examination by J.
J. P. -O'Brien, the brilliant .young attorney for the defense, failed to reveal a flaw ln the testimony of the
witness. By Dr. Gregory Ackerman,
the state showed that Schenk was suffering from lead poisoning before Dr.
Hupp was brought into toe case; that
he bad been brought trom a local hospital, after remaining but a few days;
that be had advised toe patient
against eating anything which was
brought from the latter's home. Every
symptom of lead poisoning, declared
the witness, was found in the blood
tests, as well as all others made, and
-the defense passed cross-examination,
pending further direct examination
ob the part of the state, as was the
case when Dr. D. E. Biggar Best, an
Island physician, jvas put on tbe
Stand
Given Two Poisons.
It was shown clearly tbat the state
expects to prove during tbe progress
of the trial tbat not one but two poisons were used by toe wife. That
.acetate of lead was first administered
to Schenk, and that arsenic in the
form of Fowler's solutions was later
tried. That tbe milUonaire was
brought to death's door through this
means. Dr. Hupp told ot having had
samples of the Ballardvale water and
medicine used by Schenk tested at
JOhns Hopkins university and tbe
University ot 'Virginia. While he was
prevented from placing these tests in
evidence they will' be produced later
■to the trial when two celebrated chemists of the two institutions where the
tests were made will be placed on the
stud.
Prosecution's Strong Case.
It is the Intention of the state to
show that Schenk was given two poisons. Later ln tbe trial witnesses will
be put on to prove where Mrs. Schenk
obtained those poisons, declared Prosecutor Handlan, when they were administered, and when the change from
one to the other was made by the accused. While but one cross-examination, that of Wolfe, was made by the
defense, it is still assured that the
case will be set up along the Une of
insanity and alleged conspiracy.
Big Crowds at Trial.
" Today was the flrst of testimony,
and brougbt out crowds wbo fought
for admittance. Women tore tbelr
garments in the mad scramble, aiit
the fight was unavailing to all but
those who were flrst and secured seats,
for following tbe usual ruling, Judge
Jordan refused to allow spectators to
stand in the aisles or occupy seats inside tbe rail.
At only one stage of the proceedings today did Mrs. Schenk display extreme agitation.   That came when Dr.
' Hupp told of her having said toat it
..would please her as well If her husband be allowed to die.   The accused
dropped her head and grew pale as
the allegation was made.   Throughout
ahe has kept up her spirits to a remark-
■ able degree, and while she has not
• smiled since the case opened, she has
taken a keen interest In the proceedings, frequently  consulting with  her
attorneys.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.—Declaring
that the flght for progressive legislation will go on, Representative Norris
of Nebraska who led the big rules flght
in the house, last March, issued a
statement today characterizing yesterday's proceedings in the house
when Speaker Cannon's decision was
sustained, as looking "verjn much like
a frame-up, brought about by the
speaker and his friends for a vindication."
Mr. Norris said that in yesterday's
rules fight the Republican insurgents
with a few Democrats showed them-
selve to be consistent but were apparently overridden by a majority combination of Republicans and Democrats.
Mr. Norris adds that tfie reforms, that
the insurgents instituted in the house,
have not been abrogated.
Mr. Norris pointed out that yesterday's fight was not an insurgent affair Inasmuch as it 'was started by
Representative Fuller of Illinois, one
of Speaker Cannon's allies, who, according to Mr. Norris voted against
his own position to sustain the
speaker, and Representative. Gaines of
W. Va., another of the speaker's lieutenants, who appeared from the decision of the chair, on roll call voted
against his own appeal to sustain the
speaker. •

New    Jersey    Legislature    Convened
Tuesday.
By Associated Press.
TRENTON, N. J., Jan. 10.—The New
Jersey legislature of 1911 which is expected to be one of the most interesting in years was called into annual
session shortly afternoon today. Both
houses organized and Governor Fort's
last annual message was read
The principal talk among the legislators and others was the United States
senatorship.
The followers "of James E. Martins
seem to take much hope from the situation to Hudson county that has
been brought about by the death yesterday of Robert Davis, the Hudson
county leader. The Martlne men claim
that former Senator James. Smith, Jr.,
will get but four votes in that county
out of the thirteen Democrats in the
delegation.;
A great deal of the talk among the
outsiders leans  toward  a  third man.

HONDURAS LOAN
.    IS CONSUMMATED
Means Rehabilitation of Its
Finances.
'   By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.—After
more than a year of negotiations, consummation of the proposed loan for
the rehabiliation of the finances of
Honduras was made possible today
when Secretary of State Knox and
General" Juan E. Paredes, minister of
finance of Honduras, signed a convention binding Honduras to the fulfillment of the obligation to be imposed
by toe loan. The treaty will be submitted by President Toft to the senate within a few days for ratification
and Senor Paredes declared tonight
that within a week the contract between Honduras and J. P. Morgan &
Co. for the proposed loan would be
signed.
The state department did not make
public the text of the convention, but
it is known that the treaty does not
establish any financial protectorate
over Honduras.
The convention will, it is believed,
completely reorganize the financial
status of Honduras. The outstanding
debt of the country is estimated at
about $112,000,000, toe accumulation of
principal and interest of four loans
made since 1867.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.—The
Standard OU dissolution suit will advance to the center of the stage in
the supreme court, of the United States
tomorrow immediately after argu
ments are concluded in the Tobacco
dissolution suit. For the remainder
of the week, at least, the court wlll
give its' attention to a consideration
of this second problem under the
Sherman anti-trust law.
For the government there wlll appear Attorney General Wickersham,
Frank B. Kellogg and possibly C. A.
Severance.
Opposed to them and defending the
Standard Oil will he John G. Johnson,
John G. Milburn and D. T. Watson.
The  Government's Claim.
The government's chief object is to
have the court declare void the corporate organization of 1899 whereby
the Standard Oil company of New
Jersey with its increased capitalization changed its stock for the stock
of nineteen other oil corporations,
which controlled in turn a great many
more such corporations. It is claimed
that this amalgamation of the stocks
of all these companies in the Standard
Oil company of New Jersey resulted in
a combination more closely and effectively held together than before and is
in restraint of trade. The resultant
control of oil through the subsidiary
corporations is said to constitute a
monopoly. Both results, the government contends, are in violation of the
Sherman anti-trust law.
In support of its case, the government will claim that following the action of the court ih the Norther Securities case, it must dissolve the Standard Oil company of New Jersey as a
holding company suppressing competition.
In urging upon the court the proposition that the Standard is monopolizing, the government will urge that evidence must be considered by the court
of price-cutting to drive competitors
out of business, rebating and preying
on competitors by secret organization.
Monopoly Is Charged.
"If the Sherman act means anything
in this country," say counsel for the
government in their brief, "it means
a monopoly acquired by such methods
of competition as this. Unless it is enforced the small corporations or individuals who wish to engage in business will have absolutely no opportunity at all. This testimony is valuable, as showing the intention of the
Standard Oil company to. monopolize
the commerce ih oil throughout the
United States. In many states it has
an absolute monopoly. We mean by
absolute monopoly that in those districts it does all of the business and
has eliminated every competitor."
Combinations effected by purchase,
according to the contention of the government, are just as much within the
law as combinations effected by trust
agreements or pooling.
The Standard's Argument.
Replying to these accusations and
conclusions, counsel for the Standard
[will argue that the Sherman law does
not prohibit the method of holding
property by stock ownership.
"All methods are lawful," Mr. Watson will argue, "if not used to restrict
trade or gain an unlawful monopoly."
"The Sherman act has no application to the transfer to, or the acquisition by, the Standard Oil company
of New Jersey of the stocks of the various manufacturing and producing corporations," it is argued in the brief of
Messrs. Johnson and Milburn, "for
tne reason that such transfer and acquisition were rot acts of interstate
or foreign commerce nor direct and
immediate in their effect on interstate
or foreign commerce, nor within tbe
power of congress to regulate interstate or foreign commerce."
Following out this line of argument,
they will urge that purchase or acquisition of property is not in any sense
a contract, conspiracy or combination
in restrain of trade.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 10.—Hubert
Latham, the young French birdman,
had a remarkable escape from death
at San Francisco's aviation field today.

of about thirty feet. Alighting he
crashed into a fence, completely
wrecking his Antoinette monoplane.

escaped without a scratch, while his
machine splintered about him.
When an army ambulance which
dashed out from Camp Selfridge, near
which the accident occurred, reached
the aviation field Latham was found
ruefuly inspecting the wreck of his
machine and puffing hard on a consoling cigarette.
This Is the second machine wrecked
by Latham in his last two engagements, his first mishap having occurred at the recent Los Angeles meeting.

A. Cook received a letter today from
Rear Admiral W. S. Schley, U. S. N„
president of the Arctic club, under
whose auspices Dr. Cook made his expedition to the north.   It says in part:
"I thank you very much for your
kind letter and I would assure that I
shall never vary in the belief that you
and Civil Engineer Peary reached the
pole. After reading the published accounts, dally and critically, of both
claimants, I was forced tb the conclusion from their striking similarity that
each of you was the eye witness of the
other's success.
"Without coUusion it would have
been impossible to have written accounts so similar.
"I have been broad enough in my
views to believe that there was room
enough at the pole for two. I believe
that both are entitled to tbe honor of
achievement."

SEVENTEEN PERISHED
IN THEANGRYSFAS
THREE   BARGES   LOST
In Terrific Gale on Peaked
Hill Bar—Life Guards
Powerless to Extend
Help.
By Associated Press.
HIGHLAND LIGHT, Mass., Jan. 10.
—The worst disaster the Hfe guards of
the storm-lashed coast of Cape Cod
have seen in more than a dozen years
occurred today on the treacherous
sand bars that make off from the
peaked hills. They stood on the
beach with their lifeboats and other
apparatus unable to render assistance,
while three stout coal-carrying barges
were hurled to destruction and all on
board, seventeen men, lost their lives
in the boiling surf. The barges were
the Treverton, Corbin and Pine Forest, valued together at $125,000.
With the exception of Captain
Brown of the Treverton, who belonged
in Lincolnville, Me., and Captain Hall
of the Fine Forest, a Provlncetown
man, toe drowned sailors were Philadelphians.
Lost in the Breakers.
As two of the barges, the Treverton
and Corbin, broke up very quickly, it
is believed that twelve'lives were lost
within an hour after the barges broke
away from the tug Lykens about 3
o'clock this morning and went into
the breakers. Five other seamen were
seen clinging desperately to the Pine
Kc rest until mid-forenoon, when in attempting to reach shore in their own
Uttle boat they were hurled into the
seething billows and lost.
The tug Lykens of the Reading Coal
company started frem Philadelphia
last week with the barges for New
England ports.
Ooming over Nantucket shoals Monday the Lykens encountered a heavy
southwestern gale, which began hauling into the northwest as she rounded
Monbmoy point, where She met the
full force of the storm. The life saving patrol' saw her standing off shore
to avoid the Peaked hill bars, but
darkness blotted her out four hours
before the dawn.
The last watch of the night patrol
was just starting out from the Peaked
hill station when he discovered wreckage in the breakers. The crew '-was
quickly summoned, but it was too dark
to make out anything.    .
Stranded on toe Bar.
At dawn a stranded barge with a
single mast could be seen far out in
the breakers on the outer bar, while
in the offing hovered a tug which afterward proved to be the Lykens. The
life savers soon realized that no lifeboat pulled by men could* traverse
those SOO yards of cross-whirling billows. Two men were seen clinging
to the rigging and three others holding onto the house. It was apparent
that the other two barges had long
since broken up. The Lykens could
not render assistance owing to the
heavy sea and started for Province-
town.
Shortly before 10 o'clock the men of
the Pine Forest were seen to gather
in a group. Before those on the beach
realized their purpose, the little dory
on top of the barge house had been
cut loose and then launched. All five
men then tumbled in for the last fight
for life, but before they had grasped
their oars a big comber came rolling
around the stern cf the barge and over
teem.   That was the end.

Hours at Bay.

LONDON, Jan. 10.—These are trying
days for tbe London police. A dozen

was dead did the police enter the room.
Tbey tben removed the body, to a

against two anarchists a few days ago,
ln whlcb hundreds of police and large
detachments of soldiers took part, this
incident has served to increase tbe
ridicule to which tbe police are being
subjected.
