Sees Candle Burning. j On his way he came to a gulch J/hleh he found difficult to cross, •ooking across the creek he saw a nndlo burning on the opposite side ear tho bottom of tho creek. He rosaed over and put his foot on the andlo and then'picked It up, but drop- ed It In his excitement. Tlie candle cemed to have been set in a hole cooped out in the ground. Witness Tent to Nock at the other fire, told |lm of the "set" fire and the two returned to tho creek where they dis- ■overed, while looking for the candle, The kindling wood, match box and paler, which wore brought In to Nelson Ind given to Sergeant Kills and later ■o Chief Black. J Thero was considerable fallen timer nnd tho ground was hilly at the lace where he found the candle. Wit- ess said that a photograph produced ore some resemblance to the spot ut he could not designate, on the pic- .ire, tho exact location of the candle, 'he place looked as If It had been cooped out by someone with his | ands. Crossexamlned witness said Hurt he nd seen Bradshaw on only one oc- talon previous to tho Nock ranch fire. ™ wns In the Salvation Army barracks, (man telling him next day that a irtain man he had seen at the bnr- icks two Sunday' before the prelim- ary hearing wns Bradshaw. He had never previously beon to the lace where lie found lhe candle. He ad put his foot on (he candle, stamp- l on It. He did not remember seeing chips, match box, etc., when ho Tiw tho candle burning. He thought, lhat he had stamped on. the candle with his left foot, using the toe. As far as he could recall, the ground was covered with rotten leaves and similar debris. With Mr. Nock on the evening of the fire, he found the spot on the creek, where the fire was set, easily, as they ran across the place while going down the creek: the following morning when he found the candlo it took him 10 minutes to locate the spot. The wlek of the candle was standing nearly straight up when he found It. Ho had heard of the reward for tho Nelson firebug, but had not thought very much about It. When he found the candle he remembered something about candles being mentioned in cOn nection with Bradshaw's previous trial and connected him With the Nook fires. Thnt made him think of the reward which he had discussed with a good many people afterwards. He could not sny whnt1 time heen mentioned to Ellis ns the time of the firo and If Ellis said 7:30 he would not contradict It. He remembered Ellis saying something about Bradshaw being in Nelson at 7:30. Child Recognizes Bradshaw.

He remembered Wlghtman saying, "now tako a good look.'' Tho boy said that he had answered too hurriedly when ho Identified the other man who wns not a bit like Brad shaw, "\ Normnn' (old Mr. Hamilton that he placed the time at 7: IB because he and hi3 father, who wero driving, reached lhe Brackmnn-Ker corner as the boat came in, William A.

Witness took two candles, which were produced, from, this room. They were in a drawer In a dresser. There were eight men In the room at the jail when Mrs. Nock identified the prisoner. Five ■of these men were prisoners in the Jail. ' To Mr. Moffatt, Sergt. Wlghtman sold that the day after Bradshaw was arrested all the prisoner's belongings were sent to the provincial jail.

' > > > Carries Off Trophy for Best Boxed Fruit KOOTENAY.FRUIT MUCH ADMIRED Many Visitors to Cranbrook Building at Dry Farming Congress (Special to The Dally News,) LETHBFUDGE, Oct. 22.—Though opened yesterday, today has been the real opening of the great dry farming exhibition nnd congress here. A husty run through the various state and provincial special exhibits gives but a superficial idea' of what It really is, and whnt it is going to accomplish by way of education in a subject which Is called dry and treats of dryness. To British Columbians especially, the congress is already meaning much. All the delegates and spectators from over the mountains showed their appreciation at the nttention shown the provincial exhibit which is housed in a building some distance from the main hail, and a little inconvenient to access, Notwithstanding this slight drawback, crowdfl streamed througli the hail all day and judging from the expressions of wonder and surprise it was perhaps the most interesting provincial or state display. The Nelson display of boxed fruit was the largest of the many fruit displays from British Columbia and was awarded tho special prize for the best display of boxed fruit. Among the multitudes oC apples from everywhere, J. Nicholson of Salmon, B. C. took the prize for tho largest apples, in a world wide contest. The awarding has not been Completed, and the British Columbia display will secure more of the ribbons but they will not get as many prizes ns they might have secured had the exhibitors been better posted as to entering. Many o:A*.!'Jits, especially that from Creston, aro not entered for competition and of course will not uppear in the prize winning list. On entering the British. Columbia building, Creston apples and other fruits are the first to meet the eyes of tho multitude; just beyond comes the East Kootenay display with many striking samples. John Dcvltt, J. Hamilton, the St. Eugene mission, St. Mary's prairie and P. Lund, all have fine displays of fruit and vegetables which are eye openers to the prairie farmers who are thronging the building. Kaslo comes next, with one of her fine displuys, and then comes tha big Nelson collection of apples, over 100 boxes being most advantageously placed. Across the way from these ure the Kelowna, Armstrong and -Penticton displays. All told there are more than 600 boxes of fruit which with tlie vegetables, grains and grasses of the collection, makes tho largest display to be seen on lhe groundH. Cranbrook has played a winning card With her individual building facing the main building in which many individual collections are ou display. Joseph Ryan Is in charge of a collection of Kootenay ores and is kept constantly busy explaining nnd describing tho processes of mining. II. A. McKcown Is iu charge of a display of Kootenay woods nnd tho finished product from the forests. In the British Columbia building is to be found a most interesting display of the bee Industry and Mr. RoblnBonis pushing the importance of this Industry In connection with the fruit growing branch of Industry In the province. From New Westminster and the island Come, fine displays, that from Nanaimo being a particularly good one! Prom Quesnel and Fort George come small but most creditable displays which have been carted hundreds f miles to railways and have been on display at New Westminster and other places before reaching Lethbridge. Congratulations were wired from many states ami from far away South Africa, showing the world wide Interest in the subject of dry farming nnd drawing the attention of all those countries to southern Alberta and Lethbridge. Lung Hholn, from China, ond All Khan, from Persin, are making almost n sensation with their ln- tentness upon tlu* subject and the keen ness of their vision of What Is to come to their peoples mil of this movement. Canadians on Top. (By Daily News Leased Wire.) LETKBRIDGU, Oct. 22.—The general remainder of the prize list of the seventh Internal lonal Dry Farming congress was published today ahd Its completion closes ono of the foremost features of the congress. The most noticeable feature of tho list Itself, however, Is the preponderance of Canadian awards. Most of the evcntB were open to the world and alt the western provinces of Cnnada and their Integral districts and townB were represented, ns well as districts and communities In the northwestern states. In nearly every grain growing class, however, the Canadian farmers came out on top and II was only In such southern grains as malse, corn, etc., that the snb-bordcr agriculturists, made any showing and In these classes tho Canadians made no effort to exhibit. In the first place, a Canadian, H,, Holmes, Raymond, Alberta, took the open sweep stakes for wheat; J. Lanigan of Elfros, Sask., came out victorious with his oats; A. Woolley of Dunmore, Alta., with his peck of flax and N. Tarktnlger of Claresholm, displayed the best threshed grain, while A. Perrey of Cardston had a splendid exhibit and so the list went on. It was the best advertisement for Canada farm lands given throughout the convention and the samples of wheat shown in each class were of such high grade as to make the contest interesting keen. Today also saw the opening of the second international congress of farm women, which was opened by Mrs. Bulyea, wife of the lieutenant governor of Alberta. Many delegates wore present and the addresses were' of general Interest to all the visitors. In the evening a reception attended by all the delegates to the congress and tho numerous agriculture authorities and governmental representatives was held at the auditorium when the awards in the various classes were announced and the trophies presented. Tomorrow will be "Farm Women's day,'' and special addresses will tie delivered at Knox church, whore the farm women's congress is holding Its sessions. Having started the general congress on its way, the members gravitated today to the various sections In which they were interested. At the International Farm Women's congress opening in Knox church, there were a number of busy sessions. Its morning session was taken up With tho federal addresses of welcome and greeting, while the afternoon session was given over to the delivery of addresses on farm problems and to discussions of those addresses. Dr. J. If. Worst, president of tlie North Dakota Agricultural college, at Fargo, discussed the question of "Educatim* the Boy for the Farm." Dr. Worst (Continued on page four.)

LONDON, Oct.* 22.—An almost impenetrable veil conceals the most interesting operations of the war— those in the vicinity of Adrianople. No official account of any kind bearing on those operations has yet heen issued. The Sofia newspapers report heavy fighting around Adrianople and Kirk Kltisseh to the east and three forts in the vicinity of Adrianople captured. According to one rumor 2,000 Bulgarians were killed and -1,000 wounded In a desperate engagement outside of Kirk Kitlsseh. It is quite clear, however, thnt all reports of the fall of Kirk Kltisseh and the cutting off of the communication with Constantinople are quite unfounded. Fighting of a more or less serious nature continues at all points along the extensive frontiers nnd an important battle Is impending in the Kumanova district between the Servians and Zeklt! Pasha, who, according to a Constantinople report which Is probably exaggerated, has 100,000 men and strong artillery. A Constantinople despatch sent about midnight gives a report that the battle has begun practically all along the lino from Adrianople to Kirk Kltisseh, the Turkish troops advancing and the Bulgarians falling back with heavy losses. The Montenegrins apparently are making slow progress tn the direction of Scutari. Podgrltza despatches say that the hombnrdment of Tarahosch continues but although the fort hns been greatly damaged there is no sign of yielding. In naval matters the honors bo far are with tho Greeks, who have captured Lemnos, thus securing a base from which they can attack the Turkish squadron, should it ever emerge from the Dardanelles. Seemingly, however, tho Turks are not disposed to leave the Black eon and risk an encounter with the Greeks. Bulgarian Loss Heavy. CONSTANTINOPLE, Oet. 22.—According to official information orders were given this morning In the eastern army at Kirk Kltisseh to advance raft to tho village of Tuudja. The troops encountered the enemy in force and heavy fighting ensued. The Bulgarians finally gave way before the impetus of the Turkish assault. The Bulgarian loss was heavy. ' A second Turkish column came Into contact with the Bulgarians west1 of Kalimnndja nnd were equally successful, the fight continuing,' until nig-ht nnd tho Turkish advance being Irresistible. Terrific Bombardment. LONDON, Oct. 2,1,—Al! the dfvisions of the Montenegrin army concentrated south of Scutari arc taking part in the attack on Tarnbom*]*,. A terrific bombardment, says a Fodgoritza despatch to the Express, has occurred and the greatest battle yet fought botween the Turks and the Montenegrins Is now In force. Crown Prince Danilo is personally commanding the operations. King Nicholas is advancing his headquarters to Antivarl on tho southwestern side of the lake. Roads have been blasted in the mountains to allow tho passage of the heavy artillery which has been mounted on the heights around Tarabosch. A despatch from Sofia to tho Express says that a big battle has been raging around Kirk Kltisseh for two days. It is reported that tho line of Turkish defences between that city and Adrlanopo has been broken by the Bugarians. The Express understands that Gen, Sir John French has been recalled to London from Denver, it fs supposed in connection with the Balkan war. The Etara Zagora despatch says that news which has reached there confirms tho Impression that tho allied armies have taken the initiative with vigor and complete success. Amazing progress has been made along the whole lino and events may develop rapidly. Premier Pachitch says a despatch from Belgrade has announced that tha largest Servian army is before Kum- unova nnd that somo of the Servian forces nro not far from Uskup. The Larissa correspondent of the Mall, describing the enpturo of Elassona, says that the Impetuosity of the Greek frontal attack prevented the completion of a flanking movement behind the Sorlt-iena to shut off the Turkish retreat. Otherwiso 3,000 Turks would have been captured. An Athens despatch reports the safe arrival at Piraeus of the four destroyers purchased in England. MORE MEN QUIT WORK.

C Correspondents' Costumes Are Wonderful Spectacle (By Dally Npwb Leaser] Wire.*) SOFIA, Oct. 22.—-Wondrous scenes were witnessed yesterday at the start of the special newspaper correspondents for the front. Some have extraordinary outfits. They seemed more like men going on an expedition to the North Pole than to the seat of war in a temperate climate. Experienced correspondents, such as Eennett Burleigh and the Marvuia de Hc-yonzac, were notable for the simplicity of their costumes. The Germans' costumes were the most exaggerated, on the lines of ".Michael Stro- goff" stage costumes. Bennett Bur- lelght sayg the war will not last longer than six weeks ond the collapse of tlie Turks might bring the end sooner. Dr. Standoff, tlu* Bulgarian minister at Paris, travelled on the train with the correspondents. Ho is going to join King Ferdinand. Siege May Bo Brief. (By Andre Beaumont, special correspondent of .the London Telegraph with the Bulgarian Army.) SOFIA, Oct. 21.—It is stated on the taking of Kirk Kltteseh, 30 miles northeast of Adrianople, claimed as ono of the most important successes so far of the present war, the Bulgarian attack was so sudden and carefully planned that 20,000 Turks were captured and three months' ammunition, food and general supplies for an entire army corps fell into the hands of the victors. Strong detachments of Bulgarian troops are stated to have cut off all communication between Kirk Kltteseh and Adrianople soon afterwards and that not only one, but tiie whole string of outlying forts north of Adrianople were taken by the Bulgarians. It has been added that the success of the invading army has been through reinforcements for Adrianople having been stopped. The Turks, after their first reverses, seemed to have lost all confidence in themselves and in their leaders. The latest dispatch from the district asserts that communication with Constantinople has been completely severed and that the Turkish army is now penned up In Adrianople. The Turkish army is much smaller than had been estimated and Is at the mercy of a few weeks' siege by the Bulgarian troops. King Ferdinand personally is directing army operations. He has shown himself, so. far, a shrewd and brilliant commander. Some oven predict that Adrianople will fall Into the hands of the Bulgarians after only a few days' siege. . (By Daily News Leased* Wire.*) Adrianople Centre of Strife. LONDON, Oct. 22.—While a semiofficial communique, issued at Sofia, reports that the Turkish troops arc fleeing panic stricken before the Bulgarians, throwing" away weapons', equipment and ammunition, trying to escape,, the truth if* that very little re- liable news Is. coming from the seat of war. Special dispatches tell of an extraordinary story current in Sofia to the effect lhat the Bulgarian troops at the taking of Kirk Klttlsseh captured 2(',000 Turks, with ammunition and supplies sufficient'for an army corps of three months. Some reports have it that the string of outlying forts al Adrianople have been taken and the town Itself has been cut off from com municution with Constantinople. Theso reports lack confirmation. There Is no doubt the Bulgnrlan army Is advancing in a wide front on Adrianople and that the Turks are retiring;on their main position. It is evident, also, that there has been some hot fighting, as numbers of wounded men are arriving in Sofia, but the encounters so far apparently have been sharp skirmishes. Military authorities agree that the reports of Adrianople being invested on three sides are premature, but all admit that one of tho most sanguinary battles of the war is certain to be fought there. From Conisantza, Rou- mania, comes the reports that the Turks landed a force at Kavarna, a small unfortified Bulgarian port, which the ottoman warships bombarded, destroying the customs bouse and other buildings, but Sofia advices con-. tradlct this, saying, the Turkish landing was frustrated by the fire of the Bulgarian troops on shore. The Greek army, full of enthusiasm, led by the crown prince, is still advancing nn the town of Servia, but the Greek government does not permit wnr correspondents or military attaches to accompany the troops. Greek warships have appeared off the island of Lemnos, where they captured tho garrison. There has been some fighting at Dichllatn, a village west of Azilona, where a couple of Greek battalions routed a Turkish force. South of the Servian frontier another battle seems Imminent, as the Servian army, which is pushing down the railway from Ristovatz, has Its outposts near Kumnanova and a decisive action there can not bn long delayed. The Servians have 100,000 and the Turks 00,000. The censorship on both sides is so strict that It is hard to obtain facts, but apparently tiie battle around Adrianople, where the Bulgarians with their Servian allies have 325.000 men and 400 field guns, against 200,000 Turks with 300 guns, will be a titanic struggle. . The Bulgarians apparently also mean to strike at the railway from Adrianople to Constantinople, which Is only 20* miles south of Kirk Klttlsseh. If they succedd in seizing this road they will cut off Adrianople and the force there surrounding the great fort as the Germans in 1870 aurrounded Metz. This will compel the Turks to abandon their strategic retreat at the risk of n general engagement. It will be then or never for the Turkish commander in chief, Nazlm Pasha. 'If the Bulgarians capture Adrianople, which is the Turkish Port Arthur, military experts here agree that It will be the beginning of the end for the Ottoman army and empire. Will Punish Balkans.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.—Breaking silence for the first time since the war broke out in the Balkans, tbe Turkish ambassador last night Issued a statement In which he declared hostilities could he charged directly to the Balkan states; that the trouble would be short lived and that those countries should be punished for their "imper- tinency," ' SIR ALBERT SPICER IS CHAIRMAN OF COMMITTEE fRv Daily News Leased Wire.)

REFUSES PASSPORT TO MINISTER Report That Sir Herbert Samuel, British Postmaster General, Was Refused Admission to Russia.' (By Dally News Leased "Wire.) ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 2i!.—The Russinn government is alarmed at the onslaught on its securities by foreign financiers, much more than because of the Balkans. The official organ, the Russia, which is printed in the buildings of the department of tlie interior and edited by members of the civil service appointed for that purpose, prints a desperate appeal to all Russian security holders not to be stampeded into selling their .holdings to the international Jewish organization which has opened its campaign on behalf of American Jewish passport agi- tutors.-* The motive ascribed for the raid on Russian prices is that the enemies of Russia are making a determined effort to get control of her industrial stocks and use them as a leverage for forcing their claims on behalf of the .lews for equality in Russia. The Novoc Vremya supplements the attack hy a tirade against "freedom loving America, which is ready to furnish loans to help Turkey to continue her tyranny over the Christians within her territory." Tho Russian government's nnswer to this is to display an even greater antiJewIsh ferocity than ever. It has just dislodged Baron Ginsburg, head of the Jewish community in Russia. from tho presidency of the Lena gold field corporation in Siberia, the largest gold producing concern in the Run sinn empire. It also has given a blunl refusal to Sir Herbert Samuel, British postmaster general, who applied for a passport to Russia, on the ground tha' he wished to discuss personally reforms With the Czar. His government supported his claim on the ground thai his official position should exclude him from radical restrictions when on official business. The Russian government answered with an nhsolut' negative, saying that on no account would be be allowed to enter the frontier. Sir Herbert Denies. *"Rv Dully News Lensed Wire.) LONDON, Oct. 22.—Sir Herbert Samuel, postmaster general, when seen bv a correspondent, denied that be hnd applied for a Russian pnssport and that It had boon refused him Tbis denial, however.

DISAPPEARANCE IS STILL MYSTERY Judge Refuses to Presume Denth of Missiri*g Bank Manager—Left on Yacht, LONDON, Oet. 22.—For the sixth time an attempt was made in probate court yesterday to prove tho death or William Robertson Lidderdale, the bank manager who disappeared mysteriously 20 years ago, when, it is alleged by the opposing insurance companies in which he wns insured for $10,000, he eloped with Miss Beatrice Alice Hnzeldoan Vining, described as nn eecentric wealthy American.

Subsequently Miss Chapman received a letter containing SLfJOO In hank notes, with n message from Liddcrdnle, saving he was true to her.

C„ 0i8f ftlBUTm*G AGENT, Counsel for the crown referred to yradsnaTr/'s "Improving memory" several timers during the grilling cross- examination through which he put the prisoner. Several differences wero shown between the story told in direct examination yesterday and that told a*, the preliminary hearing. Mr. Ham ilton paid special .attention to Bradshaw's account of his actions between 6 and 9 .o'clock, on, the evening of the fire and'elicited a'st'ory of" an extra walk for a few blocks from tho Klon dyke hotel. Times V/alk to Ranch. Jxihn Scolej* said that at the request of the provincial police, fie had walked out to the Nock ranch from the Klondyke hotel. The journey occupied him 33* minutes aB fur as he could remember and it took him 27 minutes to return. Cross-examined by Mr. Harnlltori'witness said that his weight was 21r0 pounds and his age 80 jjears! *'"' Dora Jordan on Stand. Called in rebuttal by the crown Arthur ailker said that on the night of June 11 he saw Bradshaw pass hie father's house on Victoria street. He was.walking westwards. It' was be tweon 7:15 and 7:30 o'clock. Witness told Mr. Moffatt that Bradshaw was not walking fast, just sauntering. Dora Jordan said that she saw Bradshaw on tho night of June 11. He was crossing from the Wood-Vallance store toward the Western Canada Investment company where witness was standing. She saw him go toward tho Starland and later saw him leave The time he passed witness was "be- tween 8;30 and 8:-to. He came out before 9:45. To his lordship witness snld tliat who placed the time boeunse she listened u three selections at the band eonce.*t which commenced at S o'clock, and heard the curfew at 8:1*5 a few minutes nfior she entered. Mrs. rayons, who was chambermaid rt the Klondyke hotel in May, leaving on June 1, declared that from May 211 Lo that date sho saw no partly luirneJ candles on a piece of brown paper on tlie bureau. To1 Mr. Moffatt witness admitted writing a letter in which she expressed surprise at hearing of Brodshaw's arrest, spoke favorably of him, stated that -iho hnd not seen the end of a candle he said ho had thrown Into a utensil In the rou.y und that she. had only seen one candl In the drawer. She told his lordship that during t'.ii latter part of May she did not Bee ; piece of brown paper spotted witli grea^i or otherwise on the dressing table. Moffatt Addressed Jury. Addressing'-the Jury, Mr. Moffatt asked each member If he had any preconceived idea of the case to set it aside before coming to nny verdict. They might have a strong suspicion which some of the evidence at tlie trial had not eradicated, but tliey hud to go farther and find tliat his guilt was proved beyond a reasonable doubt before they could find him guilty. If the mnn Mrs. Noch saw at tho sate that night was thu prisoner then Hru.i- sliaw was the guilty man. Mrs. Nock was absolutely positive thnt the hat, coat and the belt with a broad icd bnnd was worn by the man she saw. continued Mr. Moffatt, who declared that If Bradshaw had had any of these clothes the police in their frequent searches iu his rooms and among his effects woulJ have found them. If Bradshaw had wished to disguiaJ himself would he not have used som< clothes totally different, instead of soni. very much like he those he wore or dlnarlly? asked counsel. He thought the Idea of a -$2,000 reward figured very largely in the mind of Wil 11am Billlngton. He reminded the jury of the conversation regarding the fire having been nt- 7:30 between Ellis and Nuck and Blllington. With, regard to the candle Mr. Morfalt asked, holding tip the exhibit: "Docs that suggest that that candle hns been stumped on?" He pointed out that the wicit was straight up and suggested that when a candle was stamped on tho wick was bent down Into the grease and the candle usually stuck to the boot. He suggested to the Jury that the piec. of candle produced was not that stanipoJ on by Billlngton and that the latter plere had never been found. Bradshaw had no conceivable mottvi for committing arson, argued counsel, who referred to tbe fact that Bradshaw had not hesitated to tell his story to tho police nor to go In the box nt the preliminary hearings and the trial, and subjected himself to lengthy cross-exumln- utii'ii. Ho referred to the conflict In evidence which placed Hiudshaw on thu Granite road at 7:15, on Victoria street between 7:15 and 7:30, while Frank Phillips said that he saw him at 7:15 at the postr-fi"!.^ corner, nnd urged tho claims of the la " named to thn greatest consideration. Counsel asked the jury If It appeared reasonable for Bradshaw in the short time during which he was not placed tho evidence, to have travelled the mile each way, 3 miles in all. lo Neck ranch, go up through the busn, light the two fires, return through tiie bush, change bis clothes and got to U.j Starland by 8:15. Mr. Moffatt spoke for over an hour. Counsel For Crown Speaks. Mr. Hamilton, in his address to the jurjy, said tliat ho did not think there could be -any dispute as to the incendiary nature of the fire nor that if it had not been got under control that would have lvached the Nock house. There was Mrs. Nock's positive, u,* shuken testimony thnt Bradshaw won tiie man she met in her garden, whom she identified In the provincial Jail fro.o a numhor of other men. A very slg.i.- flcant thing was that she recognized tne scent used by Bradskaw. Mr. Hamilton asked the jury to tnI-.o as a second reason for finding Bradshaw guilty the evidence of Norman Irving. It was true tliat the boy had fixed thi time at 7:15 but he hod not done so hy a clock but hy the crowd coining up from the Crow boat. The tlmo must the re Con* be only approximate. ■ Ho suggested that the time was really a great deal later than 7:15 when Irving saw the man. Glitter's time cd! 7:15 was also given approximately, but'there was th*1. fact that somewhere ' about that time Bradshaw wns walking out in the dlreo tlgn of tlie Granite road. Candlo Strong Point. The conjunction of the fact thnt to? marked candle was found nt the Nock ranch with the three facts offered in t'ie evidence of Gllker, Irving and Mrs. Nock wns strongly urged upon the jury by Mr. Hamilton. Tho piece of candle and two other candles were Identified by McLeod, who marked them. Tho important thing was that on May 26 tin- three candles were seen In Bradshaw's room by McLeod .and on June 11 there were only two-candles while the remains of tlie third were fblind at the ranch. Ltradshaw's explanation was not worthy of belief for a number of reasons; One was that Bradshaw said that he commenced to use tlie candle the day after McLeod's last visit to. the room. Hn said tliat he had used it stuck, on brown paper and that the chambermaid could mil of thnt. The chambermaid had been i'iilied and know nothing. Another point was wbT* he choso to uso a candle for liBlitlng cigarettes on June l*" Another valuable piece' of clrcum9tantl.il evidence was tho finding of the match box. Another point that must tell against tho prisoner was that HrfidBha\v was able to tell what he did with the empty box and that ho told different stories a: tho preliminary hearing and the trial .as to where he threw it awn**/. Tha defence had undertaken to prove an alibi. The critical time was betwa's.i 7:15 or 1:2. and the time lie went hr.o the theatre. Bluing tho prisoner's stoiy uf his movements, from 7:30 to 8 o'clock ho referred only to having met two men, Nelson at the Klondyke and J. W. John- stono on Baker street. Tho former sa.d that ho did not see Bradshaw after 7 o'clock and Johnstone had not been called, but at tho preliminary hearing had HE SAID—"This salt is nice and dry. Yesterday the salt was so damp that we couldn't get it out of the shakers. Did you put it in ih6 oven and dry it ?" SHE SAID-«No. This is "REGAL", made from WINDSOR SALT. Our grocer told me about it. He said it would stay dry and free running at all seasons of the year." HE SAID—"He is right. This certainly is a damp day and this new salt is perfectly dry." SHE SAID—"And this REGAL SALT comes in nice, clean wood- fibre cartons, coated with paraffin. That protects the salt from dust, dirt, moisture and odors—which affect salt put up in bags. I certainly do like Windsor Regal Salt—and I like our grocer for telling me about it." WINDSOR "REGAL" SALT ALWAYS DRY-ALWAYS FREE RUNNING nly stated that he had seen him about fi o'clock. There was an Important discrepant-; between' Bradshaw's accounts of belli', at the Poole Drug store corner. At thi preliminary hearing he had stated lu.u he was there at 7 o'clock, a statement supported by L, X. Poole at the trial Ex-Serf*, t. Ellis said that he saw Brad shnw at this corner at 7:3u and ooutise believed that the prisoner hud changee his story to agree. Ho did not think that the jury would consider that Kills' statement as to f time was correct; the other evlden even the prisoner's, showed it to wrong. Other peculiar tilings were that Kills told Nook and Billington not to say anything about It and that Ellis, although he did not believe that Bradshaw was guilty, proceeded to make jnvestl gatfonfi himself Olid to tell McLeod i< watch Hnulsluiw. It was also peculm* th.it Hills had not hunted up the provincial police and given them the chip.-1, match box and paper. Mr. Hamilton contrasted Bradshaw's statement as to entering the theatre about S o'clock with bis statement to Kills that it might have been 8:15. Mrs, Anderson's evidence was not verv decisive as she was naturally frequently interrupted. Heppel1--: evidence that the show started at 7:^0 occupied an hour and that Bradshaw en terctl after the second show had started proved that the time must have after S.UO, continued Mr. Hamilton. Ridicules Double Theory. The suggestion that Bradshaw had a double was somewhat ridiculed by M.'. Hamilton, who described him as "this mysterious man who comes out of nowhere and dlsHpnears nowhere, Tha evidence was either irrelevant or suggested that Mrs. Nock had seen tb: double. If the latter, Mr. Hamilton thought that it showed tn what deapeiftto straights Ills learned fiiend had been put. With regard to ehanglng his oiotiits it struck Mr. Hamilton that it would have heen rather a clever thing lo.' I'nidshaw to do to change his attire In the respects named by Mi's. Nock. Counsel for the crown also spoke exactly one hour. His Lordship's Charge. Tn his charge to the jury, which occupied SO minutes, Mr. Justice Gregory remarked that counsel for the defeneu had said that'if the Jury came to the conclusion that the man Mrs. Nock saw wac Bradshaw, then tbe prisoner was the guilty man. lie had no objection to the jury accepting that. The evidence In tie* ease was largely circumstantial. It was a well known rule that where tlie evidence was circumstantial and not one fact was such as to glvo reasonable pro- sumption of guilt, that It was nece-*saiy for the chain of circumstances to be complete. He drew attention to the two facts contained In the evidence of Constable McLeod and Mrs, Nock. With regard to the motive he said that lt was not necessary for the crown to prove any. although tin' case would be much strengthened if the motive wero shown. He thought that It would be difficult to move nnv motive for all tho Incendiary fires which had occurred in the Nelson district. Speaking of the alibi evidence his Ion- ship remarked tliat there was' no evidence of any kind as to Bradshaw s movements between l:'oi) and H:15 o'clock. Miss .Jordan, who placed him at the picture show between 8:"JO and _:!_ had set the tlmo by two things, that she ha.I heard three selections by the band ami by tho curfew which rang at "JiJG. With regard to Mis. Nock's evidence It looked to Ids lordship ns if she mig.'.t he mistaken ns to thi* clothe.-", althinig-. It was not an unlieurd of thing for a man to be positively Identified by som<-- ono who turned out to be mistaken. He urged the jury not to consider the provious trials nor to ho influenced by any nnpular feeling in the matter, it thero were nny reasonable doubt they must glvo the benefit to the prisoner. He explained that he had rtsltod for Constable McLcod's discharge pupeis, which wore entirely satisfactory, because; he thought from his bearing tliat he was an old country policeman with conslde.*- ablo cvorience in police matters. He referred to Mis. Nock's evldiiucc f..l being worthy of consideration. The case went to the Jury nt 10;*J0 o'clock. Daily Now* want *>ds 1 cent a word.

It is noted lhat tuberculosis continues to prevail and will continue until there Is a wider acceptance by the Indians of lhe information given them on measures necessary to prevent the disease. It is noted that the efforts of the de- pqrlnient to have the Indians engage in farming is meeting with success. There has been eonsidcrable increase in the amount or land brought under cultivation as compared with the previous year. It will perhaps surprise many people to know that the earnings of the Indians uf the Dominion aggregated over •55,000,000. The pursuit of agriculture leads the list with a total *f $1,484,343 to its credit. Then the red men receive $1,610,049 iu wages paid by white employers. There was a total of 325 Indfan schools in operation during the year, an increase of only one as compared with the previous year. The Roman Catholics lead the list with SO day, 38 boarding and 0 industrial schools, while the Church of England is second w(tl*< 77 day, 13 boarding and four industrial schools. The total enrollment for the year was 11,303 pupils, 5,048 boys and 5,655 girls, a slight increase as compared with 1911. Two country youths were on n. visit to London.

Judging from his remarks telegraphed from Toronto yesterday. Sir Thomas Lipton Is still eager to challenge for the American cup and hag hope, that the officers of the New York Tacht club will consent to amendments to tjie regulations by which the contest Is governed which would give the Challenger a sporting chance of victory. ( it is to be hoped that the changes In the rules may be permitted, for otherwise the last race for the cup has probably been sailed. ! It Is evident that under the existing rules the challenger faces a hopeless task, and all that Sir Thomas Lipton asks Is for a chance to race under the rules that govern yacht racing of all kinds In the. United States, with the Single exception of the American cup. Under modern conditions the American cup rules are an anachronism which give to the holder of the cup an advantage which conveys a practical certainty of victory and which must, if maintained, result in the race falling into abeyance. Nine years ago, Sir Thomas Lipton raced his third Shamrock - for the American cup. Five years ago, ho again challenged, but his challenge was refused because he wished to race under changed conditions. Two great injustices have been enforced by the New York Yacht club. One Is that the challenger must cross the ocean under her own sail. This means that while the New York Yacht club can build a purely racing machine to defend the cup, the challenger must build a safer sea-goihg vessel—therefore a clumsier and slower one than he might otherwise have to do—or tike the chance of a flimsy racing machine being badly racked in crossing the Atlantic. Secondly, Sir Thomas Lipton asks that he be allowed to challenge under what is known among yachtmen as the "universal rule" of measurement of yachts—the rule which determines time allowance in racing between two boats when they differ in size. This rule governs technical matters for Internationa}, racing, except in the case p.f.competitions for the American cup, which the New York Yacht club, holders of the trophy, long ago placed under a set of reglatlons. Theso regulations, In the opinion of the majority of yachtsmen, make all foreign attempts to win tiie cup useless. . That such a condition of affairs is regarded by good sportsmen as odious there can be no doubt, and it is apparent that the implied reflection upon the standard of sportsmanship main tained in the United States is being keenly felt. Writing to the New York American, which has started a cam- pa-Ign to "give Lipton a race," Mr. F. S. Nock, secretary of the Bast Greenwich, R. I., Yacht dub, and ono of the best known yachting authorities in the world, says: "Sir Thomas Lipton has proven that he is a true sportsman, and inasmuch as he is ready and willing to build boat and race under the 'Universal Itulc,' I cannot see where there should bo the least opposition to same. It A BARGAIN does seem poor policy to hold a challenge cup hound with any ironclad rules, and furthermore, It is not the1 essence of true sportsmanship to insist upon a rule which will give an advantage to either the challenger or defender." EDITORIAL NOTE. The showing made by the Turkish troops opposed to the invading Montenegrin army does not, at first sight, justify the high reputation of the Ottoman soldier. But until we have definite Information regarding the respective strength of the combatants, it Is Impossible to pass Judgment. Montcnego has the advantage of striking the first blow after presumably adequate preparation. Cold Storage "It's going to be a hard winter." "How can you tell?"

The first friction machines were patented In Knglnnd sa years ago today by Wallicr, of Stockton-on-Tees, England. Lucifer matches came Into use about 1831. Por many years mutches were very expensive, a package of CO costim- a shilling or iffi cents. In 1342 Reuben Partridge, an Englishman, patented machinery for' manufacturing tbe splints. Tl.ree y"ears later Schrotter of Vienna produced his amorphous phosphorus, by heating ordinary phosphorus in a gas which it cannot absorb, and tlie use of matches was thereby rendered less dangerous, and the manufacture less unhealthy. For a lone time workers in match factories were subjected to the likelihood of terrible occupational diseases, but the processes now In use reduce tlie dangers to a minimum. For 30 years match manufacture in France ban been a government monopoly. The first American match patent was granted 7fi years ago tomorrow, The Weather (By "Dally News Leased Wire.)

Soon he was drawing no less than $100 for a bout, and often considerably more. Going north in the spring, he fought at Indianapolis, Muncje, Ind., Akron, O., Wheeling, W. Va„ and Pittsburg, and always with ancli effect that the worst ho got was a-draw Willi Mike Uoone at Muneie and with Joe Welsh at Wheeling.

In these wcnVls, Sir Richard McBride addressed a large gathering in Field tonight at a banquet tendered to himself and R. F. Green, M. P., In Mount Stephen house, H. G. Parson and H. E. Forster also addressed the gathering. In Cleveland a little later M'Coy first met defeat, a middleweight named Billy Steffens turning tlie trick In the second round. M'Coy has always claimed that the Cleveland referee gave him the worst of It, and that tlie blow that put him out of commission was a foul. From Cleveland M'Coy went to Minneapolis, where lie fought a ten-round draw with Jim Baron, an Australian who was one of the best welterweights of the time. Back in Ohio he put away Jack Grace and got a decision over his former victor, Steffens. He also defeated AI Roberts. In Memphis tiie Kid outpointed Shadow Maher, the clever Australian. In Boston he beat Jack Wilkes, a good fighter from Missouri in two rounds, and fought a twenty-five round draw with Dick O'Brien. By this time the Kid was a welcome guest at all sporting clubs, and was drawing down good money for his bouts. He got ?1,000 for whipping Maber, a similar sum for the Baroa affair, and almost as much in the O'Brien fracas. McCoy always had a strong family feeling, and in his days of prosperity did not forget the "folks," who became almost reconciled to their "black sheep's" career. M'Coy had great pugilistic ambitions for bis "kid brother." Homer Selby, and under the Kill's instructions Homer did manage to cut something of a swathe, though be never became tho topnotchcr. As the recipient of $1,000 purses, McCoy abandoned the local 'freight a3 a way of getting from where he was to where he wasn't, j and travelled In style. He knew all the tricks for beating conductors, however, and invented .several new schemes, with the result that in all his thousands of miles of travel on tlie best trains he seldom paid any fare.

Hemp is raised throughout Italy generally, but in the department of Emilia, in tbe vicinity of li,ologna, the cultivation is carried on to a far larger extent than in other sections, in importance as a hemp-raising centre Emilia la followed hy Campania and Venetia. The finest Italian hemp is grown on rich, strong loams that have been brough: into a friable condition by cultivation and manuring. The soil Intended for hemp must be deeply plowed and repeatedly harrowed to produce a fine surface tilth, and it must he heavily dressed with manures rich in nitrogen. Rotation with other crops is advisable. The seed is sown broadcast fnr the Cine hemp. In Italy i; is usual to lay the stalks in a fairly shady place before retting. Hemp is retted hy three different methods, known as "water retting," "dew retting," and "snow retting.'' The first is practiced in Italy either hy still or running water. Tbe yield of hemp amounts to about 2fi per cent of the dry stalks, and the product furnishes about 65 per cent of spinning fibre, tlie remainder being obtained in the form of tow. The commercial value of hemp depends lo a large extent upon the color and the lustre. Tbe nearly white and pale gray are regarded as tbe best. The best hejnp Is tho Italian, especially [lie liolognese product. Hemp seed is used ns a bird seed. and also for tlie production nf oil and oil cake. It usually contains from 20 tt* 35 per cent of oil. The oil is used in tho mannfactnre of soft soaps, paints and varnishes. Hemp seed cake is used for feeding cattle, and should form a nutritious food, although the amount of crude fibre is somewhat bit-'h.—-Consular TVnnrt^ "Oh, How I Itched!" wi.at long nerve-racking days of constant torture—what sleepless nights of terrible agony—Itch—Itch-Itch, constant itch, until lt seemed that I must tear off my very skin—then Instant relief—my skin cooled, soothed and healed!

FRUIT RIPENED BY ELECTRICITY Method for Providing Ripe Fruit Out of Season—Apparatus Will Be Improved. (Ry Dally News Leased Wire.) LONDON, Oct. 22.—Unripe peaches can now be ripened in a few minutes by electricity. This remarkable, discovery Is the result of an experiment with a high frequency electrical apparatus made by T. Thome Baiter, scientific expert. Thfs Is how the modern wizardry occurred: A spray of electric sparks was directed full on the surface of the fruit. Very soon with the sparks flying off a* all point of the peach the green skin was seen to turn to a light brown color. The whole peach was completely charged with electricity and sparks would even fly out of the fruit immediately any part of its skin was touched by the finger. After the current had been turned off the peach was left for a few minutes and then it was cut open. The ripening effect had penetrated almost to the stone. "I nm improving on my apparatus shortly," said Baker, "and soon It ought to be possible for hotels and fruiterers to purchase an apparatus that will ripen most kinds of fruit in a few minutes. In this manner people will be able to enjoy ripe out of season fruit at very little cost." DIFFICULT TO AVOID INFRACTIONS OF LAW (By Dally Nows Leased Wire.) .

C. Walsh, that "the United Shoe Alachinery Company of Canada Is a combine and by the operation of the clauses of tho leases quoted in the foregoing, which restrict the use lensed machines in the way therein set forth, competition In tho manufacture, production, purchase, snle and supply of shoe machinery In Canada hns been and, Is unduly restricted and prevented." The majority report gives nn exhaustive but clear cut survey of the workings In Canada of tho United Shoo .Machinery company and Its effect upon competition In that line of trade. , It shows that in 1S99 there were Several sources from which tho manu facturer of shoes could obtain his machinery, there being various American concerns nnd ono Canadlnn concern. Since thnt time nil the AmeVlcan companies havo either been absorbed by iho United Shoo Machinery company In the United States or "In any event It appears the United Machinery Company of Canada today controls the supply In Canada of all the machinery which was previously owned by these various companies." • After showing that at present there ripponrs to ho only one other manufacturer of shoe machinery in Canada, only seven small and unimportant factories being equipped from other sources than the United Shoe Machinery company, the report explains the methods by which this company arranges for the uso of its machines. "Since 1005," It says, " the plan hns been to install the machines on lease without limited charge but to exact from (ho manufacturer whenever such a machine is returned to tbe company the cost of putting the machine In good and efficient working order and condition." Apart from this, thero nre levied upon certain machines, or sets of machines working together, a royalty charge of a fixed amount per pair; and In the case of other machines the company derives its return from the sales of mntcrlals, such a wire, pegs and eyelets, all of which are sold to the manufacturers, who must take them from the company at prices set hy the compnny nnd which prices nro in excess of the market prices except in the case of tho eyelets which are sold at the market price." .-'. The report that goes on to show that the lenses nre all mado for a period of 20 years. Where a machine is returned and exchanged for a new one, pr when a change occurs in the status of the lessee; or when a transfer is made by a lessee t oanother, a new lease, to run for a new term of 20 years is required to bo made, After again pointing out. that the company has obtained practically com pletc control of the business of supplying shoe machinery in Canada, the board continues in its report ns follows: "We have now to consider whnt Is the effect of tho situation so established upon (1) competition In tfhe manufacture and supply of the shoe machines; (2) the position of the manufacturers of hoots and shoes; (3) tbe consumers of the boots and Shoes. The only complaint of the shoe manufacturers when they complain is that they are deprived of such advantages oh might accrue to them if they were free to nvnit themselves of the benefit Cf tho competition In the supply of tho shoe machinery. They do not complain of tho company's charges, ns all qhoe manufacturers arc In that re spect, on the same footing and they all incorporate the charges mode upon them for royalties in the factory cost of their shoes. "Tho same reasoning applies to the case of the ultimate consumer because it Is a uniform royalty charge, that is included in the cost of shoes to him "In regard to the* manufacture and supply of the shoe machinery, it Is established that in all the 138 factories in which tho company ma' bines are under lease, competition is effectively eliminated. The board con- eludes by recommending that 'in view of all tho circumstances of tho case however, we consider it necessary thai tho delay of 10 days prescribed in clause 23 of the combines' Investigation act, bo extended to an addition1! period of six months and we recommend thnt such delay be granted.'" W. J. White, K. C, representing the United Shoe Machinery company, presents a minority report in which he objects to the conclusions arrived m by the majority of the board. He snys: ''There Is one stalenient In which I cannot concur, to lhe effect that with the conditions said tn bo in existence, competition in the manufacture nnd supply of shoe machinery In Canada Is practically impossible." Mr. White contends that the only difference of opinion among the members of the board was as tn the interpretation of the word "unduly." In his opinion, the leases of the machinery made by tbe company arc not un- reasonably oppressive or contrary to DID NOT CLOTHE CORPSE PROPERLY Charges Undertaker With Offering Indignities to Human Remains and Neglect of Duty.

Industrial unionism founded on the belief that unity of labor is the hope of the world was a subject discussed by the Trades and Labor council in the Miners' Union hnll last night.

The votes recorded were Typographical union against; United Brotherhood of Carpenters, for; Barbers' union, against; Painters' union. Federal union and Machinists, for. No reports were received from the Bricklayers, Brewery "Wdrkors, Moulders, or Amalgamated Carpenters.
