The case is exciting considerable in terest and because of the enormity of tlie alleged crime is the most import ant of the term. Long before the opening of the af ternoon session all^the available seats in that part of the eburtroom reserved for spectators were taken. The case lor the State is conducted by Attorney General Hannibal E. Hamlin and he is assisted by the county attorney. Charles J. Hutchings and Walter J. Sargent are counsel for the defence.

Said to Believe Mrs. Woodbury’s Death May Have Been Due to Hanging— Woodbury’s Hearing Today. Foxcroft, Me., Feb. 24.—Herbert Woodbury, the husband of Phoebe llaude Woodbury, whose dead body was found in a room of the Foxcroft Exchange hotel last Tuesday, will be given a hearing in Dover at 10 o’clock tomorrow morning on the charge of murder. Woodbury, who is now in the Dover jail, will be taken before Judge Edgar S. Smith of the Dover municipal court. The indications tonight were that Mr. Woodbury's attorneys would make every effort to induce the prose cution to disclose all the evidence that lias been secured in the case. It is not expected that the defence will intro duce evidence at this time but should the case of the prosecution prove strong enough to warrant holding Woodbury, his counsel will ask that he be admitted to bail. To assist C. W. Brown of Foxcroft, who has been the attorney for Mr. Woodbury for many years, Forrest Goodwin of Skowheg;\n has been called to the defence of Mr. Woodbury. At torney Goodwin arrived in Foxcroft tonight and spent the evening in con sultation with Judge Brown. In the event that a plea is made for the admission of Woodbury to bail it is understood that counsel for the de fence will cite as a precedent the case of Mrs. Alice Cooper, who was arrest ed at South Windsor in October, 1905, fur tlie murder of Charles Northey, Jr. Mrs. Cooper was admitted to bail by Judge Andrews of the Augjjsta muni cipal court in the sum of $10,000, and was never committed to jail after the preliminary hearing. __ Counsel for the defence may assert that the State has no stronger ease against Woodbury than it had against Mrs. Cooper. It is further declared that should Woodbury be kept in jail bis health would suffer greatly and that he might not live for a trial. The heart trouble and rheumatism with which ho is afflicted are said to have grown worse since his confinement in jail. Assistant Attorney General Warren C. Philbrook of Waterville is expected to assist County Attorney W. C. Bur gess uf Sangervilie in the prosecution. The county attorney will also have the assistance of Martin E. Durgin of Milo, who was formerly county attorney of Piscataquis county. Mr. Durgin has been employed by relatives of Mrs. Woodbury to take part in the case. Medical Examiner George B. Ma grath of Boston, who came here to day to make an examination of the bod v of Mrs. Woodbury at the re quest of the defence, completed liis work tonight, lie intends to remain over until tomorrow. Neither Mr. Ma grath nor the attorneys or the defence would make public the result of his investigation, but it was said that be did not agree with the physicians who conducted the autopsy in regard to the condition of the dead woman's throat. Dr. William Buck and Dr. C. C. Kali, who took part in the autopsy, are said to have testified at the cor oner's inquest that the fact that the windpipe was not contracted indicated that death was not caused by the loop of rope which was around the woman's neck. Dr. Mngrath is understood to differ with the Foxcroft physicians on this point, believing that death may have been caused by hanging. SECTION STANDS. Hepburn Act Does Not Re* peal Part of Elkins Act. Copyrighted Music Can Be Re produced to Use on Machines. Domestic Creditors Come First— C. H. Venner Loses Suit. Washington, Feb. 24.—The question •whether the railroad rate !a-.v known, as the Hepburn act repeals Section 1 of the Elkins’ act. prohibiting rebates by railroads, was involved in the case of tli- Groat Northern Railway Co. vs. the United States, which was decided today by the supreme court of the United States against the railroad company and against the contention of such repeal. The case was instituted in the Unit ed States district court for the district of Minnesota, which court fined the railroad $1000 each for 13 violations of the first section of the Elkins law. The alleged offences were committed! during the summer of 1003 and consist ed in granting concessions to the 1\. P. Uevcreaux Co. on its shipments of oils from Minneapolis. Minn., to points in Washington. The company admitted the concessions hut contended that by amending the Elkins act so as to pro vide for punishment by- imprisonment rather tiian by- fines the Hepburn law had no modified the original law as to accomplish its repeal and render pun ishment under it impracticable. To day's decision was announced by Jus tice White and affirmed the finding of the district court and the United States circuit court of appeals. DEFENDANT WINS. Copyrighted Music May Be Repro duced For Music Machines. Washington. Feb. 24.—In an opinion by Justice Day the supreme court of the United States today decided the case of I the White Smith Music Publishing Co i of Massachusetts vs. the/Appollo Co., a I New Jersey corporation, invelviing the question whether copyrighted music is j protected against reproduction on perfor ated paper for use in pianolas and sim ilar instruments, in favor of the Apollo Co. The case originated in the United States circuit court for the southern dis trict of New York. The view of the Unit ed States circuit court of appeals was accepted by the supreme court, which as announced by Justice Day was that as the perforated sheets can only* be made serviceable in connection with the ma chines in which they are used and can net be read, the reproduction of music in this manner is not a violation of the copyright !a\v. CIRCUIT COURT UPHELD. C. H. Venncr Loses His Suit Against Great Northern. Washington, Feb. 21.—The case of Clarence H. Venner, vs. the Great Northern Railway and Janies J. Hill, which was begun in tlie United States circuit court for the Southern district of New York by Venner, to compel Hill to account for any pay over to Venner and other stockholders the value of their respective holdings, be cause, as was alleged, these holdings had been impaired by the joint effort of (he Great Northern and the North ern Pacific Railroad Co. in 1900 to ob tain control of the Chicago, Burling ton Quincy Railroad, was decided by the supreme court of the United States today against Venner. The opinion was handed down by-Justice Moody. Tlie vital question was that of the jurisdiction of the circuit court, which was upheld. HEARING RESUMED.

DOMESTIC CREDITORS FIRST. American Courts Must Give Them Preference Over Foreign Creditors. Washington. Feb. 24.—In the case of the Berlin Banking Corporation, known as tiie Disconts Geselischatt. vs. Augustus C. Umbreit. decided by the supreme court of the United Stat es today favorably to Umbreit. was involved the international question as to whether a domestic creditor should be given a preference over a foreign creditor in the American courts. The supreme court of Wisconsin, where the suit originated, held in favor of such preference and its judgment was af firmed by today’s action of the federal supreme court, the opinion being bv Justice Day. The trial of Raymond Hitchcock, the comedian, on an indictment which result ed from charges preferred li\V a young girl, which was to have been begun in the superior court at New York Monday, was postponed until next Monday. The postponement was granted upon applica tion of counsel for the defendant on the ground that Hitchcock’s chief counsel was engaged in another case in court. In granting the motion for delay Justice Dowling said that no similar motion in the future will be entertained in this case. CAPITALCHAT. Talk About Vice Pros* idential Candidates. Booms of Gov. Guild of Mass, and Gov. Fort of N. J. How the Candidate For Second Place Is Named. Washington, E>. C., Feb. 24.—(Spec ial).— It has been a great week for political flapdoodle, by which is meant flapdoodle about a Republican candi date for the Vice Presidency. Some body ainrte*! it in a ymail way. There had been a lull in the political talk but all ac once everybody began talk ing over Vice Presidential possibilities. And ail at once there was as much buzzing arid chattering as at a Wash ington reception alter everybody has stepped up to the “lemonade” bowl. Right on the heels of the chatter came two of the leading Vice Presiden tial figures to Washington. They were two governors of imperial states— Gov. Curtis Guild, of Massachusetts and Gov. Franklin Fort, of New Jer sey. The President had invitdh both of them several weeks ago to come down here. The idea occurred to him about the time Fort was inaugurated and also, so the opposition Republi cans suggest, just about tlie time the Taft workers began to cast envious glances at the National convention relegation from New Jersey. About 10 days ago Gov. Guild went out to Michigan, where he is very popular, to deliver a Lincoln day address along with Secretary of War Taft. Some body out that way somehow learned that Gov. Guild would very much like to have the nomination for the Vice Presidency and he telegraphed it East. Whew! What a hubbub it did make for a while! Doth the governor-, in question are very much possessed with the desire for the nomination. When they came down to Washington to dine with the President their booms were newly aire dbefore the political world of Washington. Of course they were everywhere greeted as ‘‘Mr. Vice Pres ident.” The little fellows spun around in the hotel lobbies, pointing out these two Vice Presidents. The politicians of smaller sort jumped around for a chance to shake hands. The two Vice Presidents were not altogether proof against that kind of flattery and therefore all in all it was a nice fickle little bit of a diversion from (Continued on rage Five.)

IN THE SENATE, Washington, Feb. 24.—Ocean mail subsidy and currency legislation were both the subjects of speeches in the Senate today. Senator Gallinger opened the debate in favor of his bill for ocean mails subsidy to' build up an American mer chant marine and he was followed by Senator Depew, who strongly approved of the measure and also favored four new battleships. Mr. Depew referred to tlic word “sub sidy” as having become an epitaph of political reproach. “To secure any action for this system so vital to our commercial relations with the wrirld we have to adopt other and more euphonious terms for the same thing,” he declared. The carriage of the mails has not yet become unpopular. To increase the efficiency of the postal ser vice is still permissible In political dis cussions. “That the position upon the oceans, both the Atlantic and the Pacific, is la mentable everybody admits. The effort to remedy it by the methods practiced by both free trade and protective nations is defeated year after year. We have been trvirg now for a quarter of a century other schemes than subsidies, until our Hag has almost disappeared from the ports of the world, until our commerce is carried under foreign flags, and until we take out of pockets of American workmen $200,000,00) a year to pay to aliens. This bill reduces the proposition to its simplest terms and meets only the. most acute situation in our foregn com merce.” Efforts to build merchant marine, Mr. Depew said, had straggled against com petition of European nations and even Japan, in which the policy of subsidizing shipping enterprises was pursued. Amer ican ship owners had been unable to meet this unequal contest because American sailors are better treated and have high er wages than those of foreign nations. “The important point is,” asked Mr. Depew, “shall the government create conditions where American capital can live, can put the American flag whore it was once—in every port of the world can carry American products in American ships, can make the captain and the of ficers of every American vessel active agents for the promotion of the products of the American labor in the competitive ports of South America, Australia, China and other Eastern countries. Shall our communication with the islands we have acquired—Hawaii and the Philippines—he maintained under our own flag, or sub ject to our friendly or hostile relations with other powers?” Concluding, Mr. Drpew said: ”1 loot: upon this hill ns purely a. tentative ef fort to place us In our proper position commercially with r,ur rivals. I believe it should he followed by a broad and comprehensive policy. We have the genius for invention; we have the archi tectural talents; we have the mechanical skill: we have the products and manu factures to compete successfully every where around the earth. Put to satccess fuliv compete we must have American ships, built in American yards, and offi cered and manned by American officer* and crews." Senators Simmons of North Carolina and White of Md„ spoke in criticism of the Aldrich currency bill. Senator Whit" announced that he would not vote for any measure now before the Senate. Mr. Cvllinger obtained unanimous consont to take up the ocean mail sub venti in bill during the morning hours next Thursday. An hour was devoted to a further consideration of the bill to revise the criminal code and at 5.14 o'clock the Senate adjourned. CAPITAL JOTTINGS. Thomas S. Baldwin ot Xew York City has been awarded the contract by the signal office for furnishing the army with a dirigible lxilloon at the price named by* him of $6750. It is to be delivered in VJ) days. The trial flight will be held at Fort Myer. Va. Col. George \Y. Ooethals chairman or the Isthmian Canal Commission, left Monday for Xew York, whence he will sail Tuesday for Colon. Col.

The House committee on interstate and 1 foreign commerce Monday voted to re j port favorably the Hovering bill provid ing for the increased pay of employes of the life saving service. The bill accords with recommendations made by the Pres j ident in a recent message to Congress. The retirement on full pay of any judge of a Flitted States court who has held his commission for at least 10 years and I reached the age of 70 years is provided in a bill introduced by Senator Knox which was reported favorably Monday by the Senate committee on the judiciary. A petition against the proposed incr?asa of the navy by the expenditure of over $00,0,10,010 for four new battleships was laid before the Senate Monday by Sena tor Hale, chairman of the committee on i naval affairs. The petition is signed by i (Continued on Page Two.) IN THE HOUSE. Washington, Feb. 24.—The unusual spectacle of the committee on rules be mg overruled by its chairman, the Speaker, on the floor of the House of Representatives, was witnessed in that body today, much to the discomfort nre of Mr. Dalzell, a member of the committee. Mr. Dalzell brought in a resolution providing for an investiga tion of peonage in the Southern states, but the Speaker on an objection by Mr. Man. Ills., held it was not privileged. Despite Mr. Dalzell's argument the Speaker refused to allow it and the resolution was recommitted. The army appropriation bill, carry ing $85,007,566, was taken up. After Mr. Hull. Iowa, had explained its provi sions, Mr. Slayden, Texas, criticized “the enormous extravagances for the military establishments," while Mr. Holliday, Ind., pleaded for increased pay for the enlisted men of the army. Other speeches were delivered by Mr. Hamilton, la., who favored tariff revi sion and by Mr. Washburn, Mass., in favor of removing the restrictions of the Sherman anti-trust law regarding organizations of merchants in certain cases. CASH IS PLENTY. National Banks Can Now Spare Part Of National Funds. Washington.

"That nation has lent a willing ear to the docrine denying the equality of men. “So far lias that pernicious doctrine taken root that now it is a settled conviction among the strong men of the nation that even those born In that country are not real Germans un less they have Teutonic blood in their veins. The doctrine Is the offspring of selfish and un-Godly minds. "This selfish doctrine has started to spread *in America and too often we hear the cry ‘America for Americans' from the very ones whose fathers and mothers went emigrants.

Shapleigh on Dec. 27, 1906, which was to begin in the superior court here to day, was put over until the next term of court. Chief Justice Aiken, who was presiding, was asked, to hold the caac until Thursday because H. F. Hum bert, of Lynn, attorney for the defen dants, had ^another case to attend to today, but as court would sit only a day or two after Thursd^ it was de cided to continue the cartp until next term. At the time of Mrs. Shapleigh'3 death her husband disappeared. Inves tigation showed that the woman's death was due to an operation.

MURE KAN TWO THOUSAND! PEOPLE SEE COOPER DAILY I During L. T. Cooper's recent stay In Boston, It Is estimated that alxty flve thousand people talked with him and purchased his medicine. This Is an average of over two thousand a day. His success was so phenomenal as to cause universal comment both by the public and the press. There must be a reason for this. Here is the reason given In his own words by Air. Cooper when Interviewed on the sub ject. He said: "The Immense numbers of people who are calling on me here In Boston la not unusual. I have had the same experience for the past two years wherever I have gone. The reason is a Simple one. It is because my medi cine puts the stomach In good condi tion. This does not sound unusual, hut It is In fact the key to health. The stomach U the very foundation of life. I attribute 90 per cent of all sick ness directly to the stomach. “Neither animals nor men can re main well with a poor digestive appa ratus. Few can be sick with a diges tion in perfect condition. As a matter of fact, most men and women today are half-sick. It is because too much food and too little exercise have grad ually forced the stomach Into a half sick condition. My medicine gets the stomach back where it was, and that is all that is necessary.” Among Boston people who arc staunch believers in Mr. Cooper's theory, is Mr. Frank P. Brown, of i7 Bloomingdale street, Chelsea, Mass. He says: j "For five years I have Bought relief for indigestion, stomach trouble and dyspepsia, spending nearly all my wages with doctors anu obtaining no j results. I had dull pains across my back, radiating to the shoulders. 1 had splitting headaches, which nothing seemed to cure. There was a gnawing and rumbling In my stomach and bowels. I was troubled with vertigo and dizziness, and at times almost j overcome by drowsiness, j "I felt tired and worn out ail the time, my sleep was not refreshing, and 1 would get up in the morning feeling as Weary as when I went to bed. My appetite was variable—ravenous at times, then again nauseated at the sight of food. Sometimas my face was pale, at other times flushed. I was constipated and bilious, and had catarrhal affection In nose and throat, which caused me to hawk and spit a great deal, especially In the morning. 1 heard so much of the Cooper reme dies that 1 decided to try therm. After taking one bottle, a tapeworm 50 feet long passed from my system. I felt better almost immediately. All my troubles disappeared as if by magic, and my improvement was rapid. I now feel entirely well, and can honest ly recommend Mr. Cooper's medicine to anyone who suffers as I did.” We sell the Cooper medicines which give universal satisfaction.—Bowditch, Webster Co., Under Cony House, Augusta, W. D. Spaulding, Hallowell, Beane’s Corner Drug Store, Gardiner, Me. CAPITAL CHAT, (Continued from Page One.) the heavy booming of the Presidential boomers. However,, no Republican can be a candidate for the Vice Presidency. Oov. Guild made that very sage remark very early in the game and in essen tials it is very true. The party will choee a ‘Tunning mate” from the sec tion of the country opposite to that from which the Presidential candi date is picked. The Presidential can didate is not yet picked by any manner of means and it will probably be sev eral months before any certain infor mation can be given about it. No one can say that it will not be Taft or Cannon or Fairbanks or even LaFol R'tte from the West, in which event gome one from the East, or from the South possibly, would be sought for the tail of the ticket. No one can say that it will not be Hughes or Knox, in ■which event the tail of the ticket would come from out West. The Vice Presidential nomination is almost invariably a round table nomi nation. After the head of the ticket Is nominated, his friends and a few of the party leaders generally get to gether and decide upon who would help out and mako an acceptable can didate. The selection of a vice presi dent probably Is not so much a matter of strength to the ticket as many politicians think. The great mass of the voters vote for the head of tho ticket without giving thought to who of what his running mate may be. Just recently, however, there has been some little politics in talking about Vico presidential timber and the value of tlie talk has been chiefly in that it shows how anxious the various presidential boomers are, for delegates. Take New Jersey for instance. It remains about the best of the virgin territory in the East, outside of New England. The state will huvo 24 delegates In the Chicago convention—a nice little block of votes for Taft if he could get them, or a nice accession for the allied forces of anti-Tafters if they could persuade New Jersey to send them uninstructed and with leanings to Hughes c r some oilier anti-Taft candidate. The Taft workers, who are now spread all over the land, were trying to coax Jersey somewhat. Therefore they flirted with Gov. Fort. President Roosevelt, or someone expressing the President's idea, “put it up” to the Governor of Jersey that he ought to -be i> very licet running mate If hr could turn Jersey over to Taft. Nat urally this pleased the governor and it pleased tiie people of Jersey. Put the shrewder politicians also pointed out that Gov. Fort would he in a much better position to demand the plum, should Jersey go uninstructed to Chi cago. Then, with the promise of the piuni right new and fre-sli. the Jersey delegates would much more iik“ly bo able to bring the plum to the Gover nor than if the delegation went bound hand and foot as an asset of the Tuft And the outcome of the week’s run nings to and fro over the matter have been that one governor has his vice presidential lightning rod up but his delegation will go without Taft in structions and freeHo vote for Taft or against him as party welfare seems to warrant. Gov. Fort and Qov. Guild have now departed Washington and are back in executive offices, struggling with their respective legislatures and doing other gubernatorial business. Massachu setts is showing no hasto about climb ing aboard anybody’s presidential wagon and the Republicans up that way ore too wary to be trapped by uny vice presidential bait. They know that Massachusetts i9 a stronghold state and that the next Republican convention is not going to give any thing to a Commonwealth which can be pul down in advance Tor the ticket, whoever may be on that ticket. The Governor and Secretary Taft did talk about such a combination as Taft and Guild, when they were “orating” to gether in Michigan but neither of them regarded It as anything more than a little persiflage. Vice presidential nominees have often been selected in a somewhat careless way by National conventions, but most of them have turned out pretty well. Of course a vice presi dent may at any moment, during hla four years term, become the greatest official in the world. Only one life stands between him and the Presi dency. Arthur made an excellent President and so has Theodore Roose velt, who became President through tile vice Presidency. Probably as much cun not be said of the earlier vice presidents, but times were differ ent 'than. ■raw -a*-’" r

Scientific Study Proves Eczema Cannot Ba Treated by Dosing the Stomach With Drugs. Advanced medical science, after years of study and research, is now practlcally agreed that Eczema, psoriasis, salt rheum, and diseases of like nature are skin diseases—and cannot be cured by doctoring the blood. The treatment prescribed is the direct application of healing, soothing remedies to the skin. “Doctor the itch where the itch Is —such is the common sense as well as scientifically correct conclusion. Oil of wlntergreen, compounded with such other soothing vegetable remedies as glycerine and thymol in D. D. D. Pres cription, is recognized as the specific. Physicians use D. D. D. Prescription freely in their practice. Dr.#C. A. V. Hartleben, Washington, D. C., writes as follows: "D. D. D. Prescription is medicinal, soothing and the effect is miraculous. God knows is saved me a deal of suffering. I recommend It to everyone I can.” This letter is only one of many testifying to the merits of this purely vegetable remedy.

Here are hundreds of thousands of square miles, formerly the despair and terror of government and farmer alike, magically "struck," os Moses struck the rock, and forthwith turned Into smiling fields of grain, and far stretching stock-farms capable of raid ing rams worth five thousand dollars each! So writes William George in The Technical World Magazine. Truly the “dead heart” of Australia Is being slowly quickened Into life by the water-wizard’s derrick and his boring pipes, that aro miles deep. A wonderful victory of mind over matter, such as enables the Commonwealth of Australia to produce fine wool alone worth nearly eighty million dollars a year! People have wondered why an island continent with nearly three million square miles of territory—nearly two billion acres!—could never muster more people than New York City. A mere coastal fringe of humanity at that running inland here and there after gold In a burning wilderness, only made endurable at all by imported camels from India. The patorallsts used to look longingly at vast tracts covered with rich lush grasses six feet high, and clearly possessed of splendid stock-fattening qualities. Alas, such lands were a delusion and a snare! For a month or two later the fertility vanished as though it had been a desert mirage, and the very kangaroos, wallabys, lizards and birds covered the country with their dead bodies for hundreds of miles. The usual terrible drought had set In. which has ruined even the most skilful and resourceful stock farmers the world ever saw. The terrible need of water in this otherwise fertile country, and the man ner in which a splendid supply has at last been found, forms the theme of an excellent article, of which the above Is the lead. It Is amply and handsomely Illustrated with photographs. What is the Sargasso Sea? Columbus did not uso the name Sar gasso Sea. Oviedo, whose Historia con tained the first general account of the discoveries in America, was the first to apply the Portuguese word Sargaco (sea-weed) to that part of the ocean in which gulfweed is prevalent. Tho use of the noun sargasso or sargaasum Is now practically confined to thle species of a large genus of .seaweeds character ized by little air-bladders, each on Its own stalk. Tho name Sargasso Sea Is applied on ly to that part of the Atlantic in which the weed is found in greatest abund tnce. Our map follows Dr. Krummel's delineation of the general mass of float ng vegetation, and distinguishes the smaller area which Is the Sargasso Sea. The sen is roughly elliptical in shape, ts great axis almost coinciding with the Tropic of Cancer, while the two foci are near long. 4e degrees to TO degrees W. The only land masses in the sea are the Bermuda Islands near which larg< ollectlons of weed are often seen. Thi weed drift Is thickest between 25 do frees and 32 degrees N. lat. and west o! to degrees W. long. The Sargasso Sea is about one-third is large as the continental United States; but outside this central ellipse, is the map shows, are others, larger in size, where the thinly scattered weed notes in the Gulf Stream or is driven y tho prevailing winds. Dr. Krumrne: obtained these data by plotting on the nan tho mup the relative frequency vith which tho seaweed has been met n the four seasons of the year between 30 degrees and 50 degrees N.—Harper’s.
