The aeronaut attained an average
height of 24 feet today and the distance

failed to recognize tho Riders, but did so
because he feared for his life.
Forbidden to Publish Evidence.
In cautioning the Jury to confine its
reading to novels and good books. Judge
Jones salt!:
Before romnwnrt the taking of testi
mony. I want to make a request or the
men who rtreent the newspapers here.
Am you know, there are over 100 Indict
ments yet to be tried. A Juror nlio has
herd from either a witness or from one
who hns heard from a witness what pur
ports lo be an account of m'hat happened
is incompetent as a Jurr. The Supreme
'ourt haa held that a newspaper report of
testimony comes within the forbidden field.
Jlenre. if the newspapers report this testi
mony at this trial. II will make it Impos
sible to secure a Jury In the cases to come,
and thus Jus'lce will be defeated.
This Is a very serious phase of the trial.
The court will first make this request In a
very polite and Informal wajt. trusting that
the good sense and patiiotlsm of those who
own the papers will lead them to comply
a 1th It. Of course, if it be disregarded,
the court will be compelled very reluct
antly to take such steps as may be neces
sary and Icwl to protect the Interest of the
common wealth
It has been sucpostod that' the ruling
apply only to papers which circulate In this
county and that papers at a distance be
excepted. It is not believed that this would
be fair and no exception will be made.
A number of the Tennessee dally papers
have a staff of men here. Most of them
are sending out the testimony 1n detail.
The witnesses were called and Tl respond

Origin of Trouble.
J. C Carpenter, owner of a sawmill
near Reetfoot IVLke. was the first witness
examined. He Is a lawyer and wrote the
letter which led Captain Rankin and
Colonel Taylor to go to the Walnut Iog
Hotel. Carpenter was arreated. but
proved his Innocence. He wished to buy
from Taylor and Rankin sone lumber on
the Reelfoot Lake property owned by the
Weot Tennessee iMd Company, which, he
raid, owned more of the Reelfoot Lrfike
district. The residents resented thia claim
to wnerslilp and the trouble began.
His testimony -o this effect was to show
that aevoral of tlx defendants knew that
Taj'iar and Kankia were comrn to the
WORLD
REGQHD
Reelfoot district. He also told of learn
ing the morning after the tragedy of the
killing and of going to the ene. Cap
tain Rankin's body -was lying on Us back
within a few feat of the lak, a rope, one
end around tle Captain's neck, tied with
a hangman's knot, the other thrown over
the fork of a tree telling the ghastly
lory.
Bloody Noon In Evidence,
While Carpenter -ssaa testifying, the
state produced a rope, a hangman's noose
at one end. stained with ugly red
blotchea here and there. The witness
Identified It as the one tied around the
dead man's neck.
Carpenter's testimony was a disappoint
ment to the state.
The next witness, Sidney Waddcll. of
the West Tennessee Zand Company, an
attorney, had received several Night
Rider letters, threatening his life. He
toad arranged to go to Reelfoot Xake with
Rankin and Tavlor, but bia wife prevailed
upon him to abandon the trip. The state
expects WaddeU's testimony to show that
the defendants knew of the projected
trip to Reelfoot Lake.
Mysterious Figure 4."
Mrs. Edward Powell, wife of the man
who was taken from his home by -the
Black Masks" the night of the Rankin
murder and forced to act as a decoy in
Inducing R. C. Ward, of the Walnut Wg
Hotel, to open the hotel and give them
access to Rankin and Taylor's rooms, tes
tified Orat the Riders arrived t the
Powell home at 11:40. They wore black
masks and one. who seemed to be leader,
wore a figure "4" outlined In white tape
on his left breast. The state seemed to
attach a good deal of importance to this
figure "1." Tho men were armed. They
dragged her husband away and told him
they wanted him to go to Ward's with
them.

i
That the body of tlie man shipped by
a local undertaker to Eureka, Cal., was
that of Henry Gushaw, the California
fish merchant, there, is not even the re
motest, possibility of a doubt, said the
Coroner last night. Gushaw had been
identified by at least half a dozen Port-

lucid moments at the hospital he gave his
name and address, jteiegraam.
letters and other things bearing his name
were found on his person, and that them
should havo been a mistake is regarded
by the local authorities as absolutely im
possible. :
Deputy Coror.er Dunning had personal
charge of- the remains, and saw the body
sealed in its casket and shipped to Eu
reka. Owing to the post-mortem exam
ination, it Is thought that certain decol
orations might have resulted' In the face.
Dr. Frederick Zlegler, the City Physi

been struck on the head -with some blunt
Instrument, supposedly for the purposes
of robbery, and had died of brain con
cussion. His death added one of the
most mvstvTious murders known to the
police annals of this city. A large sum

THE HAGUE, Dec 18 The foreign
office believes the rumor that ' Vene
zuela has declared war against the
Netherlands arose through the confusion
of the term "state of defense" recently
declared by Acting President Gomes, of
Venezuela, with 'state of war."
According to an Amsterdam news'

though he admits that It is not impos

turn.
Popular- opinion -here t inclines r t -the
belief that President Castro's rule is
drawing to an end. "
The official German . attitude toward
Scnor Castro Is greatly resented in 'The
Hague. The newspapers .. ask , how a
friendly nation can thus receive Hol
land's avowed enemy and whether Ger
many wishes to drive Holland into the
welcoming embrace of the Franco-British
entente.
The Handeisblad favors the blockade
of Venezuela, especially now that .coffee
shipments are commencing, and it makes
the interesting suggestion that Castro
might be treated as contraband.
The Telegraph thinks the Dutch war
ships sliould be ready to make a demon
stration before La. Guayra at the proper
moment, in order to give support to the
revolutionists.
CASTRO SEEKS RECONCILIATION'
Willing: to Arbitrate AVith France.
Return to Venezuela Unlikely.
BERLJN, Dec. 18. There Is an evident
desire on the part of President Castro
to effect an arrangement of the outstand
ing difficulties between Venezuela and
France. He authorized a diplomat to
dav to make the following statement:
"I believe It would be very easy to
bring about a renewal of relations be
tween Venezuela and France by sub
mitting the question to arbitration."
Senor Castro had a lengthy conference
with, a prominent representative of the
German Foreign Office. The subject mat
ter of the Interview Is not known.
Both the German Foreign ' Office and
Senor Castro discredit the report that
Venezuela hae declared war against the
Netherlands. The Foreign Office takes the
ground that, even if hostilities have
been declared, the declaration -cannot
become effective because Venezuela is
In no position to carry a campaign be
yond Its own borders and Holland will
not exceed the limits of Its retaliatory
course, as already fixed and known to
the United States.
Not Expected to Return.
4 The feeling is also growing here
that Senor Castro left South Amer
ica not because of Illness, but to es
t ape political turmoil, and that he has
no intention of ever returning. The
German Government has information
stating that it Is uncertain whether
Vice-President Gomez will become
President of the republic or whether
a provisional government will be or
ganized under a new head. Gomez Is
believed to be still true to Castro.
President Castro still persists in giv
ing out denials that there was any
trouble In Caracas December H, when
an infuriated, mob made a demonstra
tion against, the absent President and
his followers.
Will Go to Sanitarium.
A further consultation between Senor
Castro and Dr. Israel took place this
afternoon. The surgeon advised Senor
Castro to remain quiet. Senor Caa
tro Is to be transferred to Pro
fessor Israel's private sanitarium Sun
day for a week of observation, to de
termine whether an operation is nec
essary. Senora Castro and part of her
husband's suite will also enter the
hospital.
HAINS EVIDENCE STRONG
Continued from First Page.)
Halns then fired about four more shots
at Annls, paused and fired again. Mr.
Funke said he could not be certain,
but thought Captain Hains fired six
times. Thornton Halns did not address
him when aiming the pistol at him.
j Thornton Aimed at Bystanders.
Mr. Funke, resuming the stand in
the afternoon, was asked about the
scene on the float after the shooting.
"The shooting had not ceased when I
noticed Mr. Roberts, who came for
ward. A pistol was pointed In Rob
erts' direction by the defendant. They
were about three feet apart."
"Was there any conversation later?"
"Tea, between Mr. Down and the de

fendant. Mr. Downs aeked the defendant
to turn over his gun. and he replied:
'There will be no more shooting. This
la a case for the police. Call for an offi
cer.' Mrs Downs said that it was a 'gen
tlemen's olub" and he should turn over
his revolver. 'The defendant then broke
his revolver, saying:
" fou notice there are no shots Bred
from my gun.
Funke said a policeman cama and Cap
tain Hains was taken over to the corner
of the float where Annls was lying. He
said he did not see the defendant again
that afternoon.
"Wliat Haiti-" Said to Annl9.
The cross-examination at Mr, Funk
was then commenced. .
"Is it not a fact that Captain Peter
Halns put his hand on the boom and
aid to Annls:
'Annls, Annls, you stole my wife from
me and my three -children.' "
"No, sir."
"Have you any lU-wlU against thta de
fendant?" "No."
"He pointed a gun at you. and y yon
have no ill-feelmg?"
"No. I have not."
"Did any one say to you that In order
to make a case you would have to testify
that you advanced In the direction of
Captain Halna after the orat snot was
fired T"
"No."
Mr. Funke said he had talked with Mr.
Andrews about the occurrence of that
meeting.
"When I saw Captain Hains standing
there with folded arms, I did not sus
pect there was anything wrong. I don't
know where Thornton Halns was."
Frederick Storm, the first . witness of
the day, said under cross-examination
that he had been a lifelong friend of
Annls.
Missing: Boatman Found,
John Tonning, the boatman who seized
Captain Halns by the wrist at the time
of the shooting, and who has been miss
ing since early in October, has been lo
cated and will likely be a witness.
Thornton Hains' counsel has j under
taken to demonstrate by a practical test
that the seven shells in an automatic
revolver can be discharged In 1 6-8 sec
onds. In order to refute the state's con
tention that while the shooting of Annis
was in progress, Thornton Hains drew
his revolver and prevented AnnlsA
friends from coming to his assistance.

DEFENDS SAN FRANCISCO
Commissioner Lane Says His City la
Xot Wickedest In Country,
CHICAGO. Dec. 18. Franklin K. Lane,
of the Interstate Commerce Commission,
resents the accusation that his home
city, San Francisco, Is the wickedest In
the United States. Like Chicago, he de
clares, San Francisco has suffered from
crookedness In its municipal affairs, but
unlike some cities, it is prosecuting its
municipal criminals.
"There Is one beautiful virtue that San
Francisco possesses," he said. "WTe are
perfectly frank and open about our vices,
and whatever we do becomes a matter
of general public knowledge. I note that
the papers in Chicago have enlarged upon
a tenderloin hall, which took place a few
nights ago. That ball was given by two
of your city fathers, and you have be
come indignant about it and you think
that it was a most improper thing. But
was it the thing about which you should
have been the most Indignant? Condemn
it as hard as you please, but go etill fur
ther and condemn the men higher up, the
men who are behind such fellows and
who keep them In public life."
Commissioner Lane said he once gained
fame and applause by prosecuting the
police department for blackmailing.
"But I did not have such an enthusias
tic reception." lie explained, "when I die
covered that a city official, in combina
tion with the bankers, was kiting city
warrants.
"The city of San Francisco today la

fellow and the big fellow who Is back of
him and Is making the latter suffer."

Other than to announce that Knox had

Taft declined to speak of Cabinet ru
mors. Regarding the report that George W.

Mr. Taft said he had not

WICKER STI AM IX CABINET
Slated for Attorney-General Bal-
Unger lor Interior Department.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18. The name of
George W. W'ickersham, of New York,
has been under consideration several days
for the post of Attorney-Generaal. Among
others consulted by Mr. Taft concerning
Mr. Wickersham's qualifications was
Senator Knox, ex-Attorney-General of
the United States, the choice of Mr. Taft
for the post of Secretary of State. Mr.
Knox, it is understood, indorsed Mr.
Wickersham fully and argued that a man
of sufficient capabilities for the Attorney
Generalship could not be found unless
he had some experience as a corporation
lawyer.
For some time it has been rumored
that President-elect Taft had In mind the
appointment of either Senator Knox or
ex-Senator John C. Spooner.
While In Washington last week Mr.
Taft told several of his close advisers
that, If he could fill to his entire satis
faction the positions of Secretary pf
State, Secretary of the Navy and Attor
ney-General, he would not be at all dis
turbed by the difficulty of getting suit
able appointees for the remaining posi
tions. V It is generally believed here that
an Ohio man will be selected for Secre
tary of the TreaJ5ury.
No name except that of Judge Richard
A. Ballinger. of Seattle, Wash., ex-Commissioner
of the General Land Office, is
heard here In connection witli the Secre
taryship of the Interior, and It Is thought
that he stands an excellent show for this
