C, May C—Not only is the dismissal of the Heinze estate appeal of extreme importance in respect to Its bearing upon the revenue of the province, but according to the Victoria. Colonist today it bears with it a complete refutation of a charge made against Hon. W. J. Bowser by Moses B. Cotsworth, author of a political pamphlet. Just issued in Vancouver with the approval of a ministerial association, and. adds tho Victoria newspaper, serves to reveal how much reliance may be placed upon other "disclosures" of Mr. Cotsworth. The Colonist adds: "Mr. Cotsworth. in his brochure, which is being sold for 5 cents per copy in Vancouvor, suggests that Mr. Bowser was party to a hand-out" to Heinze. The facts as disclosed above and which are on tho court records, not only indicate that Mr. Bowser was not guilty of anything of the sort, but that, on tho contrary, ho had, In ids capacity of attorney- general, been instrumental in securing for the province the rights to the taxation of a large quantity of valuable land."

LONDON, .May 5.—The British offl- cial "eye-witness" in a long account of tho engagement ot tho last few clays In tho Ypres region records that tho Germans havo continued the use of asphyxiating gases, but with less success than on ihe first occasion. Despite tho use of gas by the Germans, the report says, tbe French have made continual advances along the Ypres canal, south of Pilkem, the result of which was to remove the wedge occupied by the Germans ln the French line between the canal and tho Ypics-Langemarclt road, a gain of over 1000 yards. During this ad- vanco a large number of Germans were taken prisoner. While the French continued thoir advance In this section, it Is asserted that tho Germans attacked tho British south of Neuve Cuapello and at hill 60, ln both cases using fas. In tho latter attack, however, owing to the change in the wind, Ihe fumes were blown back toward tho Germans, who are believed to havo suffered, as no at- temnt was made to advance by them. Similar tactics are said to havo 'been adopted by tho Germans in their attack north of Ypres last Sunday. Fumes Compel Retirement.

The rich herbal essences then so stimulate the cells below the surface that new healthy tissue is formed, which, ay it grows, forces out the diseased tissue. Zfttn-Buk cures from the bottom up. This,is the reason that sores aud skin discuses cured by Zam-Buk, do not return. Zam-Buk is entirely differ- ent frora all other ointments. It does net contain -harsh minerals, or poisonous coloring matter. Nor does il contain coarse animal fats, which, in a Abort time, go rancid. Zam- Buk will keep Indefinitely. Many people have beencured by Zam-Buk after having suffered years and spent hundreds of dollars trying various remedies in vain, if you suffer from any skin disease or injury, benefit by the experiences of others. Try Zam-Buk first. Don't trouble with useless remedies. Zam-Buk is unequalled for eczema, piles, pimples, cuts, burns, bruises, cold sores, frost bites, chapped hands, uud all skin diseases and injur ies, We arc so convinced that a trial of Zam-Buk will prove to you its Superior! ry, that wc will send you a FRKIS TRIAL box on receipt of this urti;*ie, name of |Kipw'r, and lc. .'.ta:u,.t to pay return pest age.

THURSDAY, MAY 6, 1915 The agreement made at that time provided that he should have the land but he never actually assumed possession of it and claimed that he was not liable to taxation. Consequently the land was withheld from settlement and brought in no revenue to the province. The government took action against Heinze under a measure passed by the legislature in 1912 when a large area of land was repurchased from the Canadian Pacific railway in order that it might become open to settlement. By Its decision the supreme court of Canada has upheld the contention of the provincial government that the Heinze land Is subject to taxation.

BRITAIN WILL EMERGE FROM WAR WITH CLEAN HANDS. Few will question the wisdom or the ethics of the determination of the British government that, while reparation must when the proper time comes be exacted for the violation of the Tules of war by Germany, the duty of the Empire is to preserve a clean record. German cruelty, German "frightful- ness" and German disregard of tho laws of civilization have aroused tho just Indignation of neutrals as well as of every British subject, but it is not the BritlBh way to use outrage as a weapon against outrage. Ger many -must be punished, but Great Britain will not place itselt in Germany's class in order to inflict that punishment. Great Britain, when the timo arrives for the discussion of peace terms and for exacting reparation from the arch enemy of civilization, will enter the proceedings with clean hands and with her reputation enhanced, and not sullied, by her conduct of the war. HYPHENATED HATER WRITES TO HON. ARTHUR MEIGHEN. Hon. Arthur Meighen, solicitor-general, has received at Ottawa a number of letters from German-Americans which Illustrates the mental typo of some of the "hyphenated" citizens of Uncle Sam who have been so vigorous in denouncing President Wilson's interpretation of neutrality. One letter, signed by J. Alden ol Kansas City, is typical, lt refers to a speech by Mr. Meighen as "vaporing vituperations'* and continues: Away with this English swindle, this English rot! Wo are not all English by any means! Put that into your hardened, selfish, prejudiced English noggin! . . . Every fourth person in your northwest provinces of Canada are of German extraction. And you have the infamous audacity to send an Ignorant hoard of Canadian troops (hirelings), to help England. What an abominable shame and disgrace. This perfidity of Canadian political wire pullers has created an intense resentment among the non-English colonists of Canada. Germany is going to win in this war. It is the superior German mind which will overawe Us traducers. Shame on perfidious, treacherous Canada. This hyphenated hater of British institutions apparently hits no illusions as to the importance of the assistance which Canada has rendered to the Empire since the war broke out. The Dominion has won the right to have the Germans say "God punish Canada" now. Recruiting posters have been scattered broadcast in England. One which appears on the wall of a cemetery reads: "Wake up. Wake up. Your King and Country Need You." It may not be true that the Germans crucified a Canadian soldier, but the people of the Dominion know from tho records of the German troops in Belgium and Prance that they are capable of it Canada makes 'generous provision for the dependents of its soldierB. Separation allowances, pensions and the patriotic funds assure the volunteer that those whom he has been support ing will be well cared for. The Toronto News observes that "every man with a half grapefruit and a good bed is ten thousand times richer than Sir John French and not one-thousandth part as important as the humblest private in France." Sixty men have enlisted at Nelson In tho new Kootenay and Boundary battalion for overseas service. There is no reason to be aslianK" of this response to the call, but many more men are needed. Great Britain has paid the American owners of the steamer Wilhclmina $MO,000 for a cargo valued at $180,000 at point of shipment. When this becomes noised abroad shipment of contraband for capture by British warships is likely to become a popular pastime with United States exporters. The pugilist who is fighting a winning bout never intentionally fouls his opponent. The dirty work is done by the man who (eels himself beaten. Germany has resorted to the use of fumes because it could not make any impression on the allies' ranks without "hitting below the belt." Poisoned wells in Africa, thc sinking of 15 fishing boats since Sunday night and the use of poison fumes in Belgium are among the German outrages reported in one day's cable de spiitches. And every atrocity swells tho ranks of those who will help to bring to an end Germany's criminal career. Moses Cotsworth, a political pamphleteer at the coast who attacked Hon. W. J. Bowser, has been shown up by the decision of the supreme court of Canada In the Heinze case, according to a Victoria paper. Many a pamphleteer rushes in where angels fear to tread and looks foolish when the real facts are ascertained. even when at anchor for our so-called rests, we are in sight of the enemy's batteries and searchlights. We have to keep a Yery igood lookout for drifting mines; the Turks, like the Germans, push them out into the sea whenever they can; they have been picked up at our anchorage. We have men armed with rifles to watch for them all night; at present no one has been actually caught laying them. Now it is blowing a southwesterly gale, with sleet squalls every hour- It's pitch dark—you can't see an inch —away on the black horizon you keep seeing the gleam of the enemy's searchlights, whioh light up the thickness of the wind with driving spray and sleet. We are steaming) dead slow, head to wind and sea, sometimes going into it at about 10 knots in order to keep in the same patrol billet. Each time the ship plunges she chucks the top of a wave right over her bridge, forecastle and fore- most 12-pounder gun. Each time she gets a few degrees off her course. She gives a great roll, and a solid black wa"e (we call them "seas") washes right over her after gun platforms and torpedo tube. At each ig-un and tube is a man on watch, trying to see through the blackness and spray, holding on for all he's worth each time a "sea" breaks over her. This is the routine the man has: He goeB on watch at 6 p.m., till 8 p.m., when he has half an hour for supper (sometimes the galley lire has been washed out 'by the breaking seas and there is no supper but cold meat and ship's biscuit). At 8:30 p.m. he goes back to his gun and endeavors to sleep there till midnight, when he does a four hours' watch. At 4 a.m. he again tries to sleep till 7 a.m., when it is daylight and he goes below for a rest. Well, this, mark you, is 13 hours on end in one continual howlin'g gale, as often as not with seas breaking over him and sleet storms at intervals, have the ship's cook and the wardrobe steward told off to make cocoa all night for the men on watch—hot, thick, oily ship's cocoa, and once every hour a staggering oilskin form is seen ou the reeling decks, hanging on with one hand and balancing a bucket of cocoa with the other (tbe ship's cook Is a fat man and it is a hard job), and as often as not half gets spilt. When the galley is washed out by the sea, then there is no cocoa, and one feels like death about 4 to 6 a.m, When daylight appears you see sodden-look- in'g, pale-faced men begrimed with "stokers" (what gets in the eye when one looks out of an express train window), staggering forward to get dry, eat and then sleep on a stuffy, battened-down, over-crowded mess deck, where they havo to jam themselves in on the deck to keep from rolling about. INTERNATIONAL POLICE TO PREVENT WAR. There is much discussion of thc means which should bo taken after the w-ar to prevent a recurrence of another such world tragedy. International courts of arbitration, limitation of armaments, wider powers for thc democracy in certain European countries and "daylight diplomacy" are some of the solutions of stfie problem which have been advanced. An International court ot arbitration haB beeu In exlstenco for years and has been used to settle disputes; Bel- gium's armament was limited; Great Britain did not declare war until the situation had been explained lo parliament; the publication of the diplomatic correspondence has not changed the views of the people of any of the great nations at war. None of these proposals, nor all of them, would) assure the world'B peace. The only way in which greal wars ■might be prevented In the future iB IE the arbitration, peace and other treaties are backed up by some central, supreme power which can compel their enforcement. If all the nations would agree to act as policemen against any power which considered a treaty a "scrap of paper" or committed any other crime peace would be assured—unless the policemen squabbled among themselves.

Canada's Opportunity There has been an economic as woll I a spiritual awukening in Russia. If tho manufacturers of this country are alive to tholr best interests und will co-operate with the government, the inauguration of a direct line from Canadian to Russian ports, as the logical result of an enormously in creased trade between the two coun tries, is well within the realm of tho probabilities of the next few yours.— Ottawa Journal. American Attitude Wc cun perhaps appreciate tho cool, canny and collected Imslness sense of the United States holding absolutely aloof, considering only "America first," making money out of the misfortunes of the belligerents, conserving its resources so that at the close It will hold a position of enormous commercial and financial advantage; but when President Wilson asks us to admire any thing else In the attitude of the Unit ed States—well, it Is rather hard to refrain from saying some cutting things.—Ottawa Free Press.

Germans Fall In Heaps. "In every' case the assaults failed completely. Large numberB were mowed down by our artillery. Germans were seen falling in heaps and others scattering and running back to their own lines. Many who had reached the gas clouds could not make their way through them and In all probability a great number of the wounded perished from the fumes. "Farther to the east a similar attack was made about X p.m., which seems to have been attended! with even less success and the assaulting infantry was at once beaten back by our artillery fire. , "It was not long before all our trenches were reoccupied and the whole line re-established in its original position. The attack on the French met with the same result. "A great deal has been said of the troops on the left which saved the situation on April 22-23, but the services rendered by the British infantry farther east were no less remarkable. The area to the north and east of Zonnebecke, representing a narrow portion of the salient, formed a kind of bastion. Throughout the fighting Uils garrison held lirm under a raking artillery fire from all sides and under repeated assaults which were delivered with so much determination that the enemy more than once reached our trenches before it was beaten back. Endured Hard Test. "Not only was this so, but while our men in this quarter were engaged in repelling attacks in front they knew nil the time that the troops on their iett were fallin'g, back. This test was bb hard as any soldiers can be asked to endure." The eye-wltnesB then relates incidents showing the steadiness ot the Indian troops, which, he says, "advanced under a murderous fire, their war cry swelling louder audi louder above the din. "Prisoners captured in the recent fighting state that one German corps lost 8 per cent of Its men in the first week, that the losses from our artillery fire, even during days when no attacks were taking place, had been heavy and that many of their own men had suffered from the effects ot the gas. "lt would seem that a large number of infantry which had only received three weeks' fort training was brought up during the battle to replace the casualties." The eyesWitness then quotes a Ger man brigade order telling !the officers to have the field of battle and tho ground In the rear patroled for stragglers. It complains that many of the soldiers accompany to the rear men who are only slightly wounded. Enemy Gained Considerably. "This," Baid the eye-witness, "would impress some as failure in discipline on the part of the German soldiers, but under the stress of fighting and in view of the losses and strain imposed upon the men this is only to be expected." The writer concludes as follows "ln regard to the recent fighting on our left it is desirable that the German offensive should be viewed in Its true perspective and that it should be neither belittled nor exaggerated. Effected in the first instance by surprise as well as a novel form of attack, it resulted in a considerable gain of ground for the enemy, as measured by the standard of trench warfare, the struggle and to induce the belief amon's people ignorant of war that nothing has been gained by the past efforts of the allies 'because the Germans have not yet been driven back. It is being undertaken with a political rather than a strategical object. "It is to that extent from a military standpoint a sign of weakness. Another sign of weakness is the adoption ot Illegal methods ot fighting, such as spreading poisonous gases. It is a confession by the Germans that they have lost their former great superiority in artillery and are at any cost seeking another technical advantage over their enemy ub a substitute. "Nevertheless this spirit, this determination on the part of our enemies to stick at nothing must not be underestimated. Though it may not pay the Germans in the long run it renders it oil the more obvious that that there are a few that can be overcome merely by force of overwhelming numbers of men and guns."

TORONTO, Ont, May 6.—Something like $2,000,000 Is to be spent this season on the work of improving Toronto harbor and waterfront. Nearly 1000 men will be employed'. The Toronto harbor commissioners have been busy lately with the season's program and it is hoped that much progress will have 'been made with the task ot deepening the harbor, reclaiming the marshy land and making Improvements to the waterfront generally by the end of 1916.

"Thero seems to have been strong local counter-offensives undertaken in reply to the allies offensive at other points, and made with the same object as previous attacks delivered during the last few months, such, for Instance, as those made in February, southeast of Ypres at St. Elol, on March 14, and at other points on the French front. Between all- these earlier efforts and the last there was no difference in kind, tho only difference being that on this latest occasion the attempt had been carried out with the aid of poisonous gases. Enemy's Confidence Unshaken. "There is no reason why we should not expect similar tactics in the future. They do not mean that the allies have lost the initiative In the western theatre nor that they are likely to lose It. They do mean, however, which fact has been repeatedly pointed out, that the enemy's defensive is an active one; that its confidence is still unshaken and that it Is still able to strike in some strength where it Bees the chance or where local advantage can be secured. "The true idea of the meaning of the operations of the allies can be 'gained only by bearing in mind that it Is their primary object to bring about this exhaustion of the enemy's resources in men. "The extent of the ground covered by either side, as measured on the map, is usually a minor matter, though possession ot certain points or of areas may, for tactical reasons, be ot considerable military Importance. "Progress, therefore, as a rule, may be judged by the drain caused to the enemy's strength and not by the extent of ground- won or lost. Has Become War of Attrition. "In the form now assumed' by this struggle—a war of attrition—the Germans are bound ultimately to lose and it Is the consciousness of this fact lhat inspires their present policy.

NEW YORK, ' May C.—Tho Clilno Japanese! situation loomed laryo on tho financial horizon! today and ro> suited in another severe reversal oC quoted prlcos, Ihn second! of tho week. The net losses in Uie speculative fa vorltes ran from li to ■! points, while war specials suffered lm greater degree. Tho effect, of today's selling, which savored moro than a little of urgent liquidation, was to-roduco by ono half some of tho more extensive ■gains of the prist six weeks. Closing prices were at or near the lowest, of tho day, with a weak" undertone. London nnd continental Europe were credited with further heavy sales hero, London continuing to offer American stocks long afLer tho close of regular business in Its local market. Local traders helped the declining tendency by engaging in fresh, commitments for tho short account. The case with which the market; yielded! offered proof of its technical weakness on iho constructive side. Aside from thc advices from .the orient, much of today's news was of favorable import. Traders asserted thai tho bnsines s in the steel industry offered ground for confidence and a largo order for rails to be shipped to Russia wag accepted as a forerunner nf other orders.

DONKEY RUSE BY ALLIES COPIED FROM GREEKS Famous Storming of Troy by Ancients May Have Supplied Inspiration to Strategists. The donkey ruse of the allied troops whereby they Kttcceodod In gaining a lailtlln'B 011 the Gallipoli peninsula is really only a variation ol; th.0 iriek played hy thn Greeks in their efforts to gain entrance to Troy of old, situated on tho south sido of the same peninsula. In hot ti. cases the defenders "bit." According to Virgil, the rather belated war correspondent of the clent struggle, tho Greeks, tired of wasting their men in fruitless efforts to scale tho walls of Troy, sailed aw-ay to the island nf Tenedos, whence como most of our present, reports concerning tho activities in the Dardanelles. But; beforo sailing they built a large wooden liorse, which Ihoy left on Ihe shore near ihe city. Tho most, reckless thing the citizens of Troy could do under tho circumstances was to take this wooden horse within their walls. Ho they did so, despito the warnings of one, bitocoon, the "Madame Thehes" of that, ancient war. But the horso was full of Grecian soldiers, and these, during the night, let, themselves out of its body, slaughtered the guards on the city walls and opened the gates to their comrades, who had returned tinder cover of darkness. Tho donkey-ruse has tho virtues of being much simpler and infinitely more amusing to everyone but the Turks, who refused to ho "taken in" 'by tho gift-horses—rather, gift-asses —and proceeded to slaughter them, obvious to tho fact thai, the allies were taking advantage of their distracted attentions to land their forces quietly at another point on the ueninsuln. Incidentally, it seems that descendants of tho ancient Greeks supplied the donkeys, as well as the suggestion for tho ruse. Reports from Athens stato that tho asses were, commandeered by the allies on Ihe Grecian Island of Lomnos in tho Aegean sea.—Toronto (News, Nelson Brand Jain Is made from the best Kootenay fruits nnd i'X\ Sugar by British Columbia labor, ai all grooers.

Celebrates Sixty.first Birthday—Thlr. ty-seven Years in Alaska and British Columbia. Last night in tho Catholic hall lho Knights of Columbus presented Rev Father sVlthoff with a. purse of gold, it bolug tho occasloa of his sixty-first birthday. An invitation had beon given to ail the mon of tho congregation and tho hall wns crowded to thosloors. The program was in the nature of a smoker and was of an informal character. Aid. P. .1. Gallagher, the grand knight, made tbo presentation on behalf of tho knights. Eulogistic spoechos expressing the love and esteem in which Father Althoff Is held by his entire congregation were mado by Aid. Gallagher, Angus Mc- Uichlln, C. F. Glgot, W. .1. Meagher, Dr. W. J. Vignoux and L. H. Cho- quotte, and others. Ono of the sneakers expressed tho opinion that Fathor Althoff ruled the most united and harmonious congregation to be found in British Columbia, or, for that matter, In the whole of Canada. "This very hapny condition was entirely duo to Father Althoff's unselfishness, his devotion to his priestly duties nnd to the well known fact that his first concern is always for the spiritual aud temporal Interests of his flock," It was stated. Father Althoff is in every sense of tho word a pioneer missionary. Born fsl vearg ago in Haarlem, Holland, ho made his studies at tho celebrated university of Louvain. Belgium, and was ordained on June 1 fi just after tils twenty-fourth birthday, and landed In Victoria in September. 1S88. After a short stay in Victoria ho left for Wrangle, sVlnska. Wrangle was Ikon the only settlement of nny size in tho sparsely inhabited Alaska. Stonmors called only every six weeks, ami if the weather was bad thoy would skip a trip or two. wrauglo was then tin Indian camp with scarcely any accommodation for white People. Tho first niiiht of his arrival in Wrangle ho slept under the crude tablo he bad oaten from a few hours before. An old miner who was leaving on a prospecting trip offered him tiio use of bis cabin, which bo occupied until spring, whon ho left to visit ihe placer camp* up the Strtckene river. On his roturn lis Wrangle the owner of the cabin jokingly told him: "Tho reason I gave you the use of my cabin whilo I was away was that 1 hnd $3000 worth of contraband wills- ay stored under the floor and feared the Indians would find it whilo 1 was away, but it wns all thoro on. my return; father preachers aro all right if you know bow to use them." The fathor spent IT years in Alaska, leaving thero in 18»r> for Victoria. He spent seven years in Victoria and III years in Nelson. It was remarked last night that Father Althoff is equally popular with those outsldo of his congregation, and is always a supporter of any movement having for its aim the advancement of Nolson and the betterment of Its citizens. During Father Al- thoff'B 117 years as a priest ho has never taken one cent of salary from any of his congregations. He jokingly remarked last, night: "If you 'give me something to eat and something, to wear and a plpo of tobacco that Is all I want" Tho gathering closed with many expressions of hope thnt Father Althoff would enjoy very many moro happy birthdays.

PHONE 135 GREEN BLOCK Two Winlaw Men Air Trouble Over Cattle and Garden Patch In Pro. vlnolal Police Court. In provincial police court yesterday B, Holma.n a rancher from Win- law, waa fined $10 and costs nnd> bound over to keep lito peace ior one year. Ho appeared beforo Stipendiary Magistrate Cartmol on a charge of common assault. Charles McCaHtim was tho complainant and sworn that Holman hnd pointed a rifles at him and threatened to shoot him. Several hours were required to hoar the case. Tho affair took place ou April 27. MoCallum, according to his evidence, was with it. Cleverly, a neighbor, at work in his field and soeing liolnian's ihreo cows In his field called Cleverly and the letter's young dog lo help him put the cows out. They had walked on his garden patch previously and caused other damage, ho assorted. As he approached Iho corner of his field, near tho road he saw Holman crossing the road and working at a gun ho carried. The witness eould not say if lie was loading the gnu, butt ho heard a click. Holman approached him some distance within Ihe fence line. McCallum stated Holman saitl. "I'll shoot, that ddg,'' and lie replied, "You'd hotter be careful what you shoot; put down that gun and gel nut. of here." Continuing his evidence McCallum snid tho defendant's reply was, "I'll shoot you, too, you ." "Did ho do anything else?" asked A. M. Johnson, who appeared for McCallum. "Yes, ho lifted his gun nnd pointed It at. my breast." Tliis was at a distance of nbout (1 feet. MrCallnm swore Hint. Holman then snid. "You're nothing but a cur. You've been act Ing mesin ever since you came here." At ihis moment. Cleverly eame up. according to evidence, and Holman said, "I'll shoot tliat — dog." According lo evidence Cleverly's reply was, "You'd better ho caroful; you're on private property." Then Holman invited him to "come out on tho road and I'll soon fix you: you 1 know you." Cleverly's evidence in its essentials coincided with McCallum's. Cleverly ou the stand swore thnt. when Holman said this he replied, "I'd look fine coming out onto the road nnd'fightin's a man with a gun ln Ids hand." Cleverly nlso sworo that while some of theso remarks wore passing Holman had his gun hy the barrel as if to club it. James O'Shea, who defended Holman, cross-examined tiio two witnesses, McCallum and Cleverly, nnd then called Holman. His atory was in effect tliat lie had been working in his garden when by the nolso of cowbells anil McCallum's voico urging iho dog lo go after the cows he knew they wero bolug run. They were milch cows and he thought thoy would he ruined. Also ho knew ho could collect nothing from Cleverly If his dog did damage to the cows. Then he got his gun out of the house to shoot tho slog. When 'he had crossed onto McCnllum's property he saw Cleverly go after his dog, so lie lowered lho hammer of his rifle, wliich had been at Mil cock, to safety. Ho Intended to warn McCallum to nol run his cows with a dog. Whon he was 100 feet from McCallum tbe latter shouted, "Holman, you , %o back with that gun." When the two wero about 16 feet apart Holman had said he would shoot that dog if he didn't keep him off his cows. Then there was an argument about a chicken of McCallum's which Hoi. man had found In his garden and which he admitted iho had shot. "Why don't you lie like othor peoplo in this country?" Holman said he asked McOnlluin. "Why don't you put up a fence, then If my cows get In I'll pay damages." During tho whole time the gun wns resting on his shoulder, Holman said. He denied that he had swung the gun at Cleverly or pointed It at McCallum. He did not need a gun to go after a man like Cleverly, he declared. Witness said Clovei'ly hnd then said, "I'm going to brln'g my gun down hero anil If you shoot that dog 1 may shoot you." Also ho threatened to moot the witness some lime with "a bunch." Cross-examined by A. M. Johuson, Holman admitted ho did not know If the gun was loaded or uot. Mrs. Sarah K. Holm.in, mother of defendant, and his wife sworo to not seeing tho gun oft Holmau's shoulder while 'ho was in their sight, which was whon talking to McCallum. Ills worship, summing up, said that Holman was not a bad man and ho did not think ho would do wrong un- dor ordinary circumstances, Ho was lis) doubt provoked at seeing his cows driven, but ho had apparently allowed his temper to rise too much. As a lesson-lie would flno him $10 and costs and bind Hint over lo keep the lioneo for one year. The hearing was ended at 10:15 last ni'ghr. TELEGRAPH CHANGES (By Dally News Leased Wire.)

GERMANY'S GREAT PRESS 'ifle knowledge hns lately been forced home to ns In lho most painful fashion imaginable, und In a way that leaves open no room for doubt, that wo do not stand vory hi'gh in foreign opinion. If wo wish to occupy with becoming dignity the great nlaco lhat tho future has destined for us, this scandal must cease. One may ask, what will be the results of tiio German victory which is still lo ho achieved. One of the very first will be the formidable strengthening of thn authority of the German press, which already today is prepar- 'ng for its position as educator by •edonhllng its conscientiousness and its labors. Military and naval supremacy will 'all lo Germany as surely as the fruits tl. the Irees fall to lho hamster, but military and navnl supremacy by themselves do not suffice. Tho world of the futuro will have lo resign it- *olt to respect not. our army or our fleet alone, but also, and partctilarly, German thought and German genius, -sHsseclnlly as represented in its press. —Vosslscke Zoltung.
