States as "a technical enemy."
The Navy Department was advised to

The fleet was sighted In approximate

g It was the duty of Rear-Admiral
Staunton to watch the entire- Atlantic

Throngs Surge to Trial of
Millionaire's Wife.
DEFENSE GROPES IN DARK
Attorneys for Scatlcrj Maid Who
Wedded Nabob Vo Not Know
What KTldence State Has She
Tried to Murder Husband.
WHEELING. W. Va.. Jan. . Special.)
With a courtroom crowded almost to
suffocation and hundreds of persons un
able to train admittance, the work of
selecting 12 men to try Laura Farnsworth
Schenk, accused of poisoning her mil
lionaire husband, John O. Schenk. with
murderous intent, was finished today.
The trial Is one of the most remarkable
In the annals of criminal Jurisprudence,
not only In the fact that the woman Is
charged with attempting to murder the
man who lifted her from the humble oc
cupation of scullery maid to become the
wife of a millionaire, but In the method
of procedure.
Prosecuting Attorney anamn naa
worked up his case so secretly that, al
though she Is arraigned for trial on a
terrible charge, Mrs. Schenk does not
know who her accusers, are and her
counsel Is literally groping in the dark.
The calling of a special grand Jury, thus
eliminating the preliminary bearing, has
kept the defense guessing. 1 ne stale
keeps Its witnesses under cover.
All that ls known of the stnte's wit
nesses Is that there are 3 of them. The
prosecutor says seven of these are phy
sicians and that seven other physicians
will be called If exigencies of the case
demand It. None of these witnesses,
the prosecutor says; Is a relative of
either Mr. or Mrsv Schenk.

Mrs. Schenk appeared satisfied witn
most of the Jurymen, the majority of
whom are young married men.
The attorneys made their opening
statements to the court today. In his
statement. Prosecuting Attorney Hand
Ian said the wife had succeeded In ad
ministering poison to Schenk. He
claimed the state will be able to snow
that lead poison was first administered
and that arsenic was later given. .

Director Newell, of the Reclamation

egraphic Instructions had been sent to
the local reclamation engineer at Port

take surveys of West Umatilla, that
must be completed before the work of
construction can be commenced. Newell
expressed It as his personal opinion
that approval of the project and au
thorisation of surveys last Saturday
bsolutely Insure construction of this
project by the Government, and the
Reclamation Service will do Its utmost
to help the project along.
It Is Mr. Newell s view that fundi

He learned today that there is ample
money on hand to make surveys immediately.
UMATILLA PROJECT , REVIVED
Ilallinger Orders Surveys With Con
duction Work In View.
Surveys along the banks of the Uma
tilla River at the place known as the
West Umatilla Irrigation project are to
be resumed within a few days, as the
result of a telegram received by Surpr
ising Engineer Hopson yesterday from
tlon In agriculture, the art and science
of home making, commerce, and the
varloua branches of industrial educa
tion to the people of the state Instead
of compelling the people to come to it,
seems to be probable. Appreciation of
the great value of the extension work
has led several organizations to pre
pare bills to be presented td the Leg
islature carrying appropriations for the
further extension of this work.
President Kerr said today that the
College authorities would be glad to
get the belp of these organizations In
securing the means of meeting the
constant and increasing demands of
the people of the state for assistance
and Instruction. He pointed out that
the demand for research and Instruc
tional work within the College was
outgrowing the facilities of the Insti
tution, to say nothing of the require
ments for the extension work.
It is planned to extend the Farmers'
Institute work by sending more lectur
ers Into the field and by running the
agricultural demonstration trains of
tener and over greater territory.
Itinerant schools will be sent out
from the College at frequent Intervals.
These schools will carry Instruction In
agriculture, commerce, domestic sci
ence and art and mechanics. Experts
from the College will go to cities and
towns about the state and give in
struction.
More bulletins, circulars, publica
tions and personal correspondence will
be used to supplement the field work
If the present plans, carry. A great
amount of this is done at the present
time, but It is Inadequate to meet the
demands.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9. Where to
draw the line between legal and il
legal restraint of Interstate commerce
was the burden of questions today in
the argument before the Federal Su
preme Court of the dissolution suit
against the American Tobacco Corpora
tion. Before they could be answered, an
other fusillade of questions concerning
what the Sherman anti-trust law means
by "monopolizing" trade had opened.
"Generalities are very good." said
JuRtlce Day to J. C. McReynolds, at
torney for the United States, "but it
seems to me that the Government ought
to have an explanation now of what
the law means by monopolizing.
Control Ample Grounds.
Mr. McReynolds said that the Su
preme Court had decided that control
of a major part of a business was sum
cient for the courts to act, and that
the business of the tobacco corpora
tlon came within the line of decision
laying down that rule.
"What is your theory of the law,
ask," said Chief Justice White, "and
you respond that your theory Js that
we have decided this case in you
favor."
Mr. McReynolds said that the law
Intended to prevent Interference with
the free flow of competition In com
merce between the states and th
any combination that was sutRctent to
Interfere with It was within the Sher
man anti-trust law. He explained that
he had In mind a material and direct
obstruction of commerce.
"Do you maintain that It takes 51
per cent of a trade to affect a ma
terlal obstruction?" Inquired Justice
Day.
McReynolds Is Satisfied.
"Tour honors have held, that 51 per
cent was sufficient to come within the
law," was the response. "If a com
blnatlon of less is upheld by this court
to be sufficient, that is better."
Mr. McReynolds concluded by stating
that "If you want size, as a basis, we
have it here: If you want Intent, we
have Intent to restrain; whatever you
will want, we have the essential ele
ments in this case."
After Mr. McReynolds concluded, De
lancey Nicoll opened for the defendant-
No Increase In prices to the con
sumer had occurred since the organ!
cation of the corporation, he said, but
the price of leaf tobacco had nearly
doubled. The lower court had an
nounced, he added, "that the record
was remarkably free from Instances
of coercion and oppression."
