Redwod City, Nov. 15. Just wliat Is the connection of "a man named Phelps of the United States, navy" Id the domestic infelicities of Million aire J. J. Moore and his wife Lillian, probably will not be brought on dur ing the trial now in progress here. . This was made almost certain to day when by a ruling of Superior Judge Buck who, when Attorney Mc , Clanahan, for Moore, was cross-examining Mrs. Moore, ruled that ques tions as to the identity and connec tion of Phelps in the case were not competent in cross-examination. Throughout her gruelling examina tion by Attorney McClanahan, Mrs. Moore steadfastly denied wrong do ing and Insisted that all the trouble In her married life came through the jealousy and brutality of her mil lionaire husband. Attorney E. B. McClanahan, repre senting the husband, directly asked her if she had intended to convey to the court the Impression that Moore had no other side, no good qualities, to his nature. "No, he has not," Mrs. Moore de clared. "That Is precisely what I mean to convey." HE "SWUNG THE CIRCLE" A, G.

Nearly 50 years ago, President 'Andy" Johnson, by his famous trip through the South, gave a place In the American language to that ex pression "swinging 'round the circle" I Teddy in later years did a much! more spectacular vaudeville stunt of the same kind and only a few days ago President Taft completed a trip that for distance eclipsed them all( lifting his hat to the citizens along 14,000 miles of railroad, and, inci dentally doing some feeding and speechmaking. A Salem man, Mr. A. G .Magers, arrived home last night after a 32 day trip that rivals that of the White House man. - Leaving here he went to the vil lage "down the crick.'' and, thence to Seattle, Victoria and Vancouver; where he struck the cushions of a Canadian Pullman, and proceeded to take In the scenery of that grand route. He stopped at Calgary, Win nlpeg and Thief River Falls, then stopped again at America's great beer center. Milwaukee, and then "done" the greatest1 city." In many respects in the world Chicago. At Buffalo he glimpsed the big falls and other attractions for a day, and then put in nearly four days at the hub of the universe, new York. Here he made a boat trip around the island saw the greatest gathering of battle ships the world has ever known and enough other things to keep man busy the balance of his life try ing to recall them. Then he wen down to the town that Is so high toned it kicked against the president Voting In it, Cincinnati, "crossed the Rhine," and moved on to Louis ville. Then, in turn, he took in Memphis, Rome, Georgia, and thence AROUND A DANDY EHTERTAIHFR IS EMOTIONAL SELF PITY GOOD QUALITIES" I "Did you not know," asked the at torny, "That your husband broke down and wept while making the de position against you In the offices of his attorneys?" "If he did It was simply because he is of an emotional nature. He takes keen enjoyment in self pity," she answered composedly. "All of the questions were put with the intention of having Mrs. Moore concede some commendable points in her husbnd's character. Always she either directly denied their ex istence or gave some reason for their presence as pretense. "Did you not entertain extensive ly?" asked the attorney in an effort to show that Moore wanted his wife to enjoy herself. "No. I did not after my marriage. On the contrary I save up society altogether, although I admit this was not without much effort on my part. I I attended the theaer but twice in a year. Dances I have never been to. Mr. Moore liked ranch life, and I, too, was expected to like It" "Is it not true that your husband (Continued on Page 5.) to New Orleans. He was particu larly impressed (wlth the great Southern city, which is unique in many ways. In the first place it Is 10 feet lower than the river. Its sewer system is operated by pumps, Its dead buried In raised mounds or tombs, built up some eight or 10 feet. In the "aristocratic" cemetery there is a building clause compell ing the erection of a monument cost ing not less than $5000, and there are many costing $20,000 or even $25,000. He says It is, in many re. spects. the most wonderful and beau tiful "city of the dead" In the world. The monuments are mostly of . the famous Georgia marble. Here he visited the old slave markets where the thrifty New England ship own ers landed their black cargoes from Africa, and sold them to the south erners, though afterwards they were unanimous in the opinion It was a crime to own them. The old slave ungeons, where the ancestors of the present "men and brothere " were put in cold storage for a better mar ket, are still there, maintained by the city, as one of its sights and attractions." Leaving New 'Orleans, the big train is taken across the Mlsissippi on a ferry, and from there across Louisiana for 150 miles through the black level prairies. Is one vast field of sugar cane. The land Is so low and wet that wagons cannot be used on It, and lines of railroad track are laid through the fields. "Ab" says, when he saw the amount of sugar cane, and the labor It took to handle It. he was impressed with the idea that the American people would have to work hard to handle the whole product with their teaspoons. To the cane succeeded cotton as the train carried tnem tnrougn Texas, miles and miles of It, with darkies big. little, old and young. male and female, making black so:s through It like punctiiat'on points on white paper, as they picked it.

Bennett, of the appellate court at yester- day's session of the convention of the California Bar Associa- tion, in w.hich he criticised the i slowness with which the McNa- mara trial is proceeding. One of his strongest state- ments was: "There is something radical- ly wrong with our admlnlstra- tion of the law when it takes several months to empanel a juryj with the prospect at the conclusion of this mental and physical contest the guilt or In- nocence will receive less atten- tion than other wholly extra- neous matters." 4- TO GROSS WILL MAKE ATTEMPT THANKS GIVING DAY, AND MAY, IF SIC CESSFUL, CONTINUE HIS FLIGHT, AND CROSS THE CONTI KENT. UNITED PBB8S LEASED WISE. Sacramento, Cal., Nov. 15. "Bud" Mars,, the daring aviator, former holder of the world's record for height, says he is completing ar rangements for his flight across the Sierras on Thanksgiving Day. He says he has mapped out the follow ing itinerary. From Scramento to Maryvllle, thence to Downievllle.

He says he will risa the highest at Crystal Peak, when he well soar to a height ,of 8,400 feet Until the Sierras have been crossed he will be away from all railroads or communication literally lost to the world for the time being. Manager of exhibits J. A. Fllcher says Mrs may use the Agricultural park as a starting place when he un dertakes his long and hazardous trlp( provided the chamber of commerce will finance the proportion, and this Mars' is confident the chamber of commerce will do. The aviator will make the trip in a Blerlot monoplane and may continue on across the continent after reach ing Reno. ... o HE RAISES PEARS FOR COW FEED Mr. W. L. McMillan, who lives near Chemawa on the Brooks road brought to the board of trade the other day some pears that will average over two pounds apiece. They are of the "pound pear" variety, and attract a great deal of attention from strang ers Such trees frequently yield as high as 50 bushels of fruit, and it is wry good stock and cow feed. W. H. Egan also brought in some Vicar of Wakefield pears from a tree on his place which bore over 40 bushels this year. The latter is a good eatable variety, but It would even pay to raise those for stock ;eed,as the lear does not have enough acid to be a drawback for this pur pose.

Sacramento, Cal., Nov. 13. j Lithe, well-knit chaps in peg top trousers wandering about Sacramento today with a siflall "star" niched in the back of their heads behind the left par are creating a mild sensa tion here.

In refus ing to grant a respite to Beattle to day Governor Mann said: "To grant a respite in so plain a case as this would be to set a pre cedent which would be to temporize with the law and to encourage ap peals to the supreme court with the sole purpose of gaining time. "I believe that the. best way to pre vent such crimes as this is to punish adequately, certainly and speedily. Therefore, the Judgment of the cir cuit court of Chesterfield will be car ried Into effect without interference from me." Rev. Benjamin Dennis, an Episco pal clergyman, broke the news of the governors refusal to Interfere with the execution of his sentence to Beattie.
