numerous atltos, carriages, buggies and
small rigs deoorated beautifully, and a
Wild West group comprising Indians

The races by the fire boys were
thoroughly enjoyed by the crowd and

FLUSHING, L. I„ May 6.-The defense
had rested Its case and tho prosecution
was well along In examining witnesses
in rebuttal when court adjourned today
In the Halns trial. The rebuttal wit-
nesses of the State were principally
army officers who have been stationed at
Fort Hamilton arid Fort Hancock, dur-
ing June, July and August, 1908, and had
met and talked with Captain lialns at
that time. Their testimony tended to
controvert that of the army witnesses
fur tiie dofense in that they all said
Captain lialns spoke and acted rationally
the night before tho shooting on August
10 last when, the defense contended ho
was suffering from 'maniac depressive-
11MS."
The weight of the army officers' testi-
mony as to the defendant's rationality
was partly counterbalanced by their ad-
missions under cross-examination that
Capiuin Halns had acted in a nervous and
excited manner and looked pale and worn.
John F. Mclntyre, ohief counsel for tho
defense, erected a stir in oourt by ques-
tioning the army officers as to what mili-
tary authorization they had fur appearing
as witnesses agulnst Captain Hains. Ho
brought out the fact that Capt. Henry W.
Tomey of Fort Hancock had an order
signed by Colonel Helstand, Adjutant
General of the Department of the East,
directing him to appear at tho trial. Mr.
Mclntyre endeavored to show that other
officers had received the same orders
from Colonel Helstand, and asking Cap-
tain Turney If he did not know that ill-
feeling existed between the Colonel and
Cnptaln Halns. It was evident that the
defense wished to show thut there was
antagonism against Captain Halns in cer-
tain army circles.
Doctors L. L. Samuel Manson, Arthur
C. Brush and L. P. Clarke, the trio of
alienists for the defense, were disposed
of at the morning session. They all tes-
tified that the defendant had suffered
from "manlao depressive insunity" slnco
last May, and experienced a sudden at-
tack of "Impulsive Insanity" which ren-
dered him irresponsible at tho time he
shot Annls. They declared that Captain
Hams' form of Insanity was Incurable.

WASHINGTON, May 6.—Advocates ef
international peace through arbitration
met nt the New Wtllard tonight as guests
of President James U. McCrary of Ken-
tucky, uud the directors of the American
Peace and Arbitration Leugue. Secretary
of Stale Knox was the guest of honor,
today being the fifty-sixth anniversary
of his birth.
Among the speakers were ex-Senator
MeCreary, Ambassador Hiyce of Great
Britain; Minister Rortela of the Argen-
tine Republic: Justice Brewer of the
Supremo Courlj Senator Taylor of Ten-
lessee; Speaker Cannon uud Henry
Clewes of New York.
The guests included many of the most
prominent men In public life In the Capi-
tol and members of the diplomatic corps.
Tho object of tho league Is "to promote
adequate armament and effective arbi-
tration us oorelatlve agencies for national
security and International peace and Jus-
tice."
This was tho keynote of tho speeches
of the evening. The presence of Minis-
ter Portela was taken to emphasize the
fact that the next great gathering of
representatives of nations of North.
South and Central America Is to be held
in this country. This is the coming Pan-
Amoriuan conference.
The first address of the evening was
by President McCresry. He paid many
high Comnllmente to the Secretary of
State, saying lie believed Mr. Taft could
not have found in tho whole country a
man better fitted or qualified for ths
great duties of Secretary of State than
Mr. Knox.
Mr. Portela congratulated the people
of North and South America for the
leprcsentative form of governments, mak-
ing the point that the adaption of the
Latin nature to Saxon tradition has been
a bloody and difficult tusk.
"But in the midst of unceasing strug-
gles against racial feeling, a struggle
which for over a quarter of a century
did not allow a single day or domestic,
quiet or peace abroad, peace with all the
sisters of the hemisphere has always
been its most cherished desire," he con-
tinued. "All of our boundary disputes
have been eettlcd by arbitration, even
when my country could have settled
them by war but she claimed the prin-
ciple that victory does not confer
rights,' and the President of the United
States acted as umpire in the boundary
difference."
He added thnt this and mnny other
steps toward arbitration was Argentina's
right to be heard at this banquet, given
by the American Peace and Arbitration
League In honor of the Secretary of
Stato of the Nation, "which now holds
in her powerful hands the future of
that great principle."
While strongly favoring universal
peace, Mr. MeCreary claimed that the
United States must strengthen its mili-
tary and naval preparations as long as
other nations follow tills policy, hnd
"until the great nations combine to let
Justice, backed by argument, prevail,
and leave disputes to be settled In ac-
cordance with the judgment of an In-
ternational Jury."
"I favor the most liberal appropria-
tions for offense and defense," declared
Mr. Clowes, "with the hope and prayer
that universal poaco may soon prevail
Insurance against war is a duty that
must not he neglected, as it is under all
conditions the best preventive of war."

tional Committee issued the first number

enter upor. a campaign of disagreement.
What the party wants now is more Issues

we must not accept the impression that

Patriotism Knows No Boundaries.

States battleship Mississippi, does not ob-
ject to the placing of the portrait of Jef-

the silver service has aroused, t aptain

STOMACH CENTER OF HUMAN
LIFE-ALL ELSE SECONDARY
The success which has followed L. T.
Cooper during the past year with his new
preparation, Cooper's New Discovery, is
unparalleled. Cooper has a novel theory.
He believes that the human stomach Is
directly responsible for most disease. To
quote his own words from an 'Interview
upon his arrival in an Eastern city: "The
average man or woman cannot be sick If
the stomach Is working properly. To
be sure, there are diseases of a virulent
nature, such as cancer, tuberculosis, dia-
betes, etc., which are organic, and are
not traceable to the stomach, but even
fevers can, in nine cases out of ten, be
traced to something taken Into the stom-
ach. All of this half-sick, nervous ex-
haustion that is now so common Is caused
by stomachic conditions, and It Is because
my remedy will and does regulate the
stomach that I am mealing with such
success.
"To sum the matter up—a sound di-
gestive apparatus that Is doing Its full
duty, getting every particle of vitality out
of all food by transferring It to the bowels
In a perfectly digested state—this above
all else brings health."
The following unsolicited endorsement
comes from J. L. Turk, living at *1®
Locust Street, Vincennes, Ind. Mr. Turk
Is well known throughout the Ohio and
Mississippi Valleys. He Is now 68 years
of age, and claims his general health la
better than for some time past.
"For several years," says Mr. Turk, "I
have suffered from stomach trouble^ I
was In a badly weakened and run-down
condition. After eating r would Moat
and be In pain and distress for several
hours. An all-gone feeling would come
over me, and I had no energy nor ambi-
tion whatever. This condition continued
for a long time, although I took treatment
from several good physicians and tried a
number of patent remedies, without re-
lief.
"On reading of Mr. Cooper's theory I
became convinced that he was right, and
procured several bottles of his New Dis-
covery preparation, in order to test his
claims. If afforded prompt relief, and
when I had taken three bottles my trouble
had disappeared and I was feeling like a
different man. To make my restoration
sure I te>ol{ two more bottles of the New
Dlscoyery. It has now been several
months since 1 stopped taking the Cooper
medicine and I have experienced no pain
or distress In that time, although 1 eat
anything I wish.
"The medicine also relieved me of
chronic constipation and piles, the latter
having bothered me for many years.
Cooper's New Discovery is a wonderful
preparation and I recommend It to any
one suffering from stomach trouble."
Cooper's New Discovery is sold by all
druggists everywhere. A sample bottle
sent free upon request by addressing The
Cooper Medicine Company, Dayton, Ohio.
