MAJOR'S AIM IS ACCURATE Fires Five Mnt in Just One and Three-fjunrler Seconds' Attor ney Young Will Move for Dis missal of Cae Against Client. XEW YORK. Doc. aw. ISpiaJ.) Ma jor John I. Hain. brother of Thornton Jen kins Main, on trial in the Queens County Supreme Court for the murder of Will lam fcl Annis. made a. test today of a magazine pistol of the same pattern as that used by Captain Halns when he klll'-d Annis nt tiio Bavsiile Yacht Club last August. The test was made at the rifle rane a: Schuetzen Park. Astoria. The major at . first tired several single shots and then ended by making an at Ii-mpt to empty the chamber, whk-h ron- tain'd eiglii shells. His object was to ai-iuaint the attorneys fur the defense with the manner in which this weapn is fired. He first lir ri 10 shots, wa'ting between shots to snow tliat the Artr.R Is under control. . Proves to lie Crack Shot. Sisnil'rjr 15 feet from 'he llrst butt In the range the major then tired first point- blank at the butt. Then he remarked that he would drive the first bullet fur thvr Into the wood with those that fol lowed. Four more shots followed, each bullet striking but ja fraction of an Inch from where the first had lodged. The next test arranged was to deter mine the rapidity with which the pistol could be fired. Attorney Kugene Toung. of the drfrnre. v:is the timekeeper. Right cartridges were placed In the magazine and then when the word "Ready:" was F;en the major began firing. Just after the first shot there was a lively scramble among the spectators to cape the shower of empty cartridge hells. After five shots the major was In trouble. He examined the pistol and announced that the mainspring was bro ken. Klve Shots in 1 3-4 Seconds. The firing of the five shots had Deen timed accurately and Attorney Toung an nounced that they had taken just 1 3-4 seconds. Major Hains. accompanied by Attorney Toung. then went to the Queens County Jail, where they had a talk with Thorn ton Hains. At the conclusion of the talk Mr. Toung made the following statement: It is now arranged that as soon as the prosecution closes Its case I shall nieke the motion for the dismissal of the case against Thornton Hains. Accord ing to Edwin Andrews. Jr., the first man against whom it has been testified that Thornton Hains made a threat, shots had been fired before he jumped off his boat. We now know that the first shot was one that would have been fatal. That would make Thornton Hains in no way involved, either as a principal or an accessory." pspers before him when maklnK his choice. But before the meeting of the delegation could be called, the nomina tion was sent In., Bourne having made his choice, and submitted his recom mendation to the President without men tioning the subject , to any of his col leagues. This, however, he had a perfect right to do. Fnllou Waiting for Advice. The actual rejection of a nomination is very- rare, because Senators, regard less of the merits of any appointment, do not like to administer a rebuke to the President. It la therefore probable that if .Senator Fulton decides further to op pose the nomination of Toung. he will merelv have the nomination killed in committee. This will avoid a light in the Senate, and relieve uninterested Senators from discharging what they might con sider an unpleasant aut . i On the other hand. If the people of ' Portland take little Interest in wie nu.i., and if there Is no concerted protest: no protest from representative organizations, and If there is no formidable statement of reasons T.hv the nomination of Toung is obnoxious. Senator Fulton will prob ably withdraw his request that Is now holding up the nomination In committee, and after submitting such pertinent papers as he may possess, will request the committee to art according to Its best Judgment, regardless of any views he personally may entertnin. In auch event, confirmation Is likely. PUGILIST SHOOTS JAILER JPalsy Mazee Wounds John P. Fen nel 1 During Street Altercation. SAN" FRANCISCO, Dec. LM.-John P. Fenncll. chief jailer at the County Jail, and a former deputy coroner of this vity. was shot in the head and seriously wounded ear'.y this morning by Patsy Mnffee. a former pugilist. Fennell is re ported by the physleians at the St. Fran c's Hospital, where he was taken after the shooting, to lie resting easily to night, and it Is. believed he will recover unVss blood poisoning sets in. Fennell was walking along Kearney street in company with Florence O'Neil, State Assemblyman, and J. J. Sullivan, a former policeman, when approached by Mag"e. who it is alleged became abusive, toen struck O'Neil in the face, and when Fennell attempted to interfere shot the latter. WOMEN RESIST SUFFRAGE Jsecure Signatures to Petition Which Will lie Presented to Parliament. LONDON. Dec. If. 3pecial.) The Wo men 6 National Anti-Siiff rage league has secured hundreds of signatures for the great petition .to Parliament against the granting of the franchise to women. "Meetings have been arranged at all the large provincial centers and speakers are being sent put every day to take part in d-hates and meetings." said the secre tary. "A large demonstration will most probably be held at Albert Hall next February, at which members of Parlia ment will sieak. Tills mass meeting will precede the presentation of the petition.' YOUNG'S FATE IN DOUBT (rontlnued from First Pajre.) ltourne would ba compelled to go to I'ri-sdent T.ift and ask for Young's nomi nation, and in doing this, he would have to ask the new President to pardon the tilings said about him by the man who hoiK-s to become Postmaster of Portland. o Petitions for Mlnto. And this bring' up another phase of t!'.'' situation. The Impression has gone forth that President Hoosevelt. before nominating Toung. had received and con sidered jetitions from business men and cit.zens of Portland, favoring the reap pointment of Postmaster Mlnto. This is not correct. Such petitions had been sent to tiie various members of the Oregon eongressioria! delegation, and It had been ti.e purpose of Senator Fulton and the two Congressmen to submit these peti tions to Senator Bourne at a meeting of tiie delegation some time after Congress convened. . , . - Bourne iets loy first.

The total consump tion of sugar in the United States in 19o7, as shown by a report Issued by the bureau, which is the latest year for which statistics are aavilable, reached 7.089.667,976 pounds. "Calculating this enormous total at an average retail price or i-z cents per pound," the report states, "we get a total of $372,000.0(10 as Its cost to the consumer, or more than a million dol- ars for each of the S65 days of the year. The statement shows that i'l.J per cent, or 1,561, OiiO.Ouu pounds, of the sugar consumption of the country was of home production: 17.7 per cent, or 1.254.000.000 pounds, was brought from our insular possessions, and the re maining 61 per cent, or 4.367,000.000 pounds, came from foreign countries. Forty-three million pounds was the ag gregate of the production of the sugar from this country. The United States sugar record for 1907 -was unique in that the quantity of that product imported from foreign countries was larger than ever before: the quantity brought from our island possessions was larger than in any pre vious year: the quantity produced at home exceeded that of any other year; the quantity exported was larger than in any year of the past decade, and the per capita consumption was the larg est ever recorded, an average of 82.6 pounds for each man, woman and child of continental United States.
