Benoist, real estate officer of the Mississippi Valley Co., were hurled from a large motor touring car when it turned turtle on a country road near Paris, Hl., 150 miles from St. Louis, Saturday. Mr. Nolker was the most seriously hurt of the three. Tle was caught under the auto, and his shoulder was dislocatcd. A deep cut was inflicted in his face, under the eye. Mr. Jones’ hands were severely burned in his effort to raise the machine from the other three. He got hold of the boiler in his haste. Mr. Benoist. although pinned under the auto for several minutes with Mr. Nolker, was not hurt beyond a few bruises. Alvan Parrish, son of J. E. Parrish, president of the Edgar County National Bank of Paris, was driving the auto and was also caught under the auto, and was severely bruised. All except Mr, Nolker returned to Paris in #dutos after the accident. He was taken in a carriage, and two physi- clans dressed his Injuries and those of Mr. Jones and young Parrish.

The $30,- 000 is asked by Mrs. McCormick for the Support of her son, She declares that She and Greenlee stopped at the Plan- ters, where, she avers, they registered as “R. Stebbins and daughter.”’ The. suit was filed in the Superior Court here. Mr. Greenlee is 68 years old. Mrs. McCormick declares that he is the father of her son William, and that Greenlee several times has pro- mised to provide for the boy by giving the mother $10,000, and build a house for her to cost not less than $5000 These promises, Mrs. McCormick declares, Greenlee has failed to keep.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., May 19.—Two earthquake shocks were felt in Western Michigan at 3:20 o'clock this morning. Distinct shocks are reported from Hol- land, Grand Haven, Fennville and Ban- Millionaire's Denial. “That woman cannot get a cent from me,’ said Mr. Greenlee. ‘“‘I am not the father of her boy. McCormick, her di- vorced husband, is the father of both children. She also has a girl 6 years old. I have been kind to her and helped her in many ways, and this is the way she repays me. “She says that I went to St. Louis with her and registered at the Planters Hotel. That is untrue. I never went anywhere with her.. All of her charges are faise. It is true that I have given her money and helped to support her, but that was from motives of pure char- i gor. The first shock lasted about six sec- > - onde and the second about three sec- onds. Residents of Holland rushed out of their houses in night attire, the quake having thrown open many doors. Rumblings like thunder were heard around the shores of Black Lake. No gseriows damage is reported.

The fight between the majority and minority factions of the House of Dele- gates, growing out of the apparent re- luctance of the Committee on Public Improvements to report the bill to en- able the American Car and Foundry Co. to build a million dollar plant in South St. Louis, has progressed to the point where the delegates are making graft accubations. . Frank Hussey, the most aggressive of the minority members, who at Friday night’s stormy meeting hinted that -he had intentions of hurling an ink bottle at Speaker O'Brien's head, says that the American Car and Foundry bill is only one of several important corpora- tion bills which the Committee on Pub- lic Improvements is delaying. One of these bills provides for the va- cating of certain streets near “i mouth of River Des Peres for the erection of a $2.000,000 plant by the Laclede Gas Light Co. 4 It's a Shame, Says Hussey. ‘It's a shame,’ Hussey to a Post-Dispatch after the meeting Friday night. ‘the way this Committee on Public .

That bill was passed by the Council last Septem- ber. It went to the House, and immedi- ately was put in the pigeon holes of the Committee on Public Improvements. “There was no.reason for holding the bill. The gas light people made every effort to find out what the trouble was, but if they ever got wise they didn’t put me next. “Well that bill staid in the committee until the end of the last session of the House, and died with the session. This bill was introduced again last month. Since then it has been once more in the committee’s hands. Now if this committee think they can do things like that and not expecr to get a rise out of us in the minority, they’ve got several more thoughts coming.”’ In answer to the accusations of Hus- sey, Chairman Wiedmer of the Commit- tee on Public Improvements said to a Post-Dispatch reporter: “T am not the only member of the committee. TI don’t see whv I! should he held responsible for the delay of certain bills. There are seven members on the committee.

GIRL SLAVES MOTHER HER BLOT WITNESS Defense Brings Her to Testify to Hereditary Mental - Weakenss. CALLS HUSBAND INSANE Terranova a Drunkard, She Says—Children Victims of Epilepsy. “ORGETS CHILD'S NAME a Lawyer Pleads Girl Murderess Insane as Result of Un- cle’s Brutality. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, May 19.—"‘Now Mrs. Pollarro! Get Teresa Polarro,” ordered John Palmieri. The crowd attending the trial of Jose- Phine Terranove for the murder of the aunt and uncle who, she says, bestially assaulted her for several years, listened to the lawyer with languid interest, for the name meant nothing to them. It was with a shock that the specia- tors Saw a gaunt woman, bent, feeble and seemingly very aged, come slowly up the aisle of the court, supported by a young woman. She wore black and a widow's veil. “It must be Josephine’s mother—it is Josephine’s mother,’ the people whis- pered to one another as the aged wom- an, who seemed at each step unable to go any further, vanished behind the jury box. The daughter supporting the old woman led her over to a. stiwart court officer, who lifted her into the witness chair as if she were a doll. No greater contrast could be imagined than that between this wasted ald wom- and and the buxom, robust daughter on trial for her life. The mother was the strongest, most convincing document the counsel for the defense could put in evidence. He asks the jury to acquit Josephine of murder on the ground that. whemghe |. killed her uncle and aunt she was’ ffi- sane as a result of their cruelties prey- ing upon her weak mind. The weakness of mind, he maintains, is the natural re- sult of her descent from a family of drunkards and epileptics. The totter- ing. half dead mother, a lifelong victim of epilepsy, appealed even more power- fully to the minds of the jurors through the eye than through the story she told. Forgot Child’s Name. Mr. Palmieri drew from Mrs. Polarro that she lost five children by convulsions —-Pietro, Angelo, GaWBrielo, Rhoda and another whose name she had forgotten. ‘The first died right away,” said the feeble mother. ‘The second died at 4 months. the third at 1 year, the fourth at 2 months, the fifth at 5 months. They just twisted their eyes and died. I have three children living—Katie, 21 years ola: Josephine, 17, and Rosie, 10 years old.”" “Has Josephine ever had sions’’’ asked Mr. Palmieri. “She had had them very often,’ the mother wailed. ‘They last for a ‘joe Her eyes roll and there is foam on her lips and her body shakes for three hours. After that she can only murmur small words.’”’ Josephine’s father died four years be- for the child was sent to America. e was a man who would drink very much,"’ said the mother. “After he had drunk too much wine he would come home and smash furniture and dishes and once in a while give me a slap in the face.’ “Was he drunk or crazy then?’ the lawver. “Ile was both.’ answered the woman. ‘He did these thgyngs every day—before Josephine was born and afterward.’ ‘What was the name of your father?” ‘Nicola. His character was not yery bad, except that he would drink eve day and get drunk.’ ‘Did you ever have a fit?” ““Yes,”"' replied Mrs. Polarro. ‘I have terrible attacks. Three days ago I had one, and I have been in bed ever since. I have had them ever since I was born to this day-—-sometimes three or four times in a month. The ‘Defense. In opening the case for the defense Mr. Palmieri declared that Aunt Con- cetta Riggio, for killing whom Jose- phine is now on trial, was guiltier than her brutal husband. “We want you,” said the lawyer, “to know the dying words of Josephine’'s uncle as he was struck down, for I say to you he was not stricken by the hand of this girl, but by the hand of God—-yes, by the hand of Almighty God,”’ The speaker told of Josephine’s de- scent from a family of drunkards and epileptics,.of her being sent from §j- cily to New York to live with her yun- cle, and of her uncle's long continued abuse of the child, which began in her twelfth year and in which he was aided by his wife. They kept her from school, made a drudge of+her, he said, and frightfulliy abused her. They tried to keep her from being married, but Giuseppe Tarranova loved the _ girl, himself convul- asked ‘bought the wedding finery and mar. ried her in spite of them. Then the uncle and aunt brutai!+ and sneeringly told Terranova of the, girl's shame and the young husband left her. The girl, driven insane by the succession of horrors, killed one uncle and aunt. Josephine wept softly for a minutes while Mr. Palmieri speaking. Caught by an Elevator. Allen Doty. 17 years old, of 3403 Man- chester avenue, is at the City Hospital suffering from injuries caused by being caught between the elevator cage and the wall at the fifth floor of the building at 614 St. Charles street.

She has been twice married, and Christina is the daughter of her first husband, William Wallace. She _ said Saturday to a Post-Dispateh reporter that she anticipated no trouble in an- nulling her daughter's marriage.

A neighbor of Mrs. Kaster saw the carriage pass the house and saw a small hand waved. She called to Mrs, Kaster that her daughter had been married. Mrs. Kaster laughed at first, but in a few minutes became uneasy and started in the direction taken by the vehicle. Arrested in Restaurant. In front of the restaurant she saw the carriage standing, and she straightway entered. “When I saw Christina sitting at a table with that man,” she said, “I was so mad I couidn’t talk.

Settlements Wiped Out. Settlements and farm houses have been wiped out, timber lands destroyed and hundreds of persons rendered home- less. It is impossible to estimate the err cial loss, but, figured on the basis of Jo- cal conditions, it is probabie that hun- dreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of property have been destroyed. The loss in the immediate vicinity of Marquette is over $50,000, involving only the destruction of personal property and | net including the devastation of timber lands or damage to railroad property. The town of Quinesec and several hamlets in the /Menominee iron range are reported wiped out. Northwest of Marquette, the town of Birch. where the Northern Lumber Co. has fully 3600,- 000 worth of property, was threatened with destruction and men were sent from here by special train to fight Ahe flames. ; Because of the destruction of tele- graph poles, wires are down in all di- rections and communication by that means is impossible. Unless rain falls s)0n much more havoc will be wrought as the woods are very dry. Eighteen towns and villages ranging in population from 20 to 3000, were com- pletely or partially destroyed by the forest fires. Several unidentified bodies have been found by rescuing parties and those fa- miliar with fires of this nature and with the situation in the woods declare that when the result is fully known the life loss will be heavy. Some of the lum- ber camps and homesteaders homes were so quickly surrounded by fire that their escape, was thought to be impos- sible. Three trainloads of homeless people have already arrived in Escanaba. Tens of thousands of others are believed to be homeless and suffering from want of food, clothing and other necessities. Ar- rangements for aid and offers of agsis- tance are reaching this city from lower Michi@n and Wisconsin, which muet bear a large share of fire losses, directly oer indirectly the result of the forest fires. The forest fires compelled the Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic Railroad to can- cel its Duluth trains last night. The loss by the fires is broadly esti- mated at $1,000,000. | Wausavkee Hemmed In. WAUSAUKEE, Marinette County, hemmed in by forest fires which are slowly creeping up to the city on the north and south. Millions of feet of lumber are burned. The lose is esti- mated at $100,000. At Cedarville, a town four miles south of Wausaukee, forest fires have de- stroyed many cars of lumber and big kilns filled with cedar. A fierce wind is blowing sparks and burning embers for miles. All trains are betng Held here, as the rails are twisted from the intense heat. The Rird & Wells Lumber Co. has auf- fered an enormous loss. Several of their camps are totally destroyed. The losses of the Rird, H. H. Christ, Mose Hollow and many other logging compenies are steadily growing. Three miles south of ‘Wansaukee an- other fire is raging. The flames are sweeping through slashing and forest. The flames are in some cases 3) feet high. The dry conditions are responsibie for the great loms and the fire sweeps everything clean. A score of farmers in Chocolay Township have been burned out, tos- ing everything, and to the north of this city numerous cottages have been destroyed by the fire. Refugees Reach Safety, As far as known no lives have been lost, although families of several homesteaders living in the burned district are missing, and it ia feared that they have been burned to death.
