CAKTOW, Ohio, Oct. 11. Anna E.
George, charged with the murder of
Ooorge D. Buxton, wu brought Into
Justice Eegnler's court room to-day.
Long before the hour court room was
filled with men and women, anxious to
see Mrs. George anil hear her plea. At
she entered the room alio, assisted by
the constable, made her way through
the erowd and took a scat at the court
table. She wa clad in a plaid skirt of
gray color and a gaily colored ahirt
waist and a jaunty hat, trimmed in
the season's style.
The eyee of everybody in the court
room were upon her as the gazed un
concernedly about the room.' Prose
cutlng Attorney Pomerene waa the
first of the counael to put in an ap
pearance, and he ipent aome time in
looking over the orlmical code of laws.
In a few minutes Mr. Goorge'a ooun
eel, Attorney John 0. Welty, Mayor
Jamea A. ttlee and Jamea A. CHorllng,
entered the room. They took aeat on
either aide of Mre. George. Attorney
Welty hold a lengthy conference with
her and then aaked for tho affidavit.
Thla waa given him by Justice Kelg
ner and while it waa being examined
Attorney J. J, Grant, a cloae friend
and counsel of Saxton, came and sat
beside the proaecutor,
PLEADS NOT GUILTY.
' After reading over the affidavit very
carefully Mrs. George's counsel spent
some time in looking over the crim
inal laws, and then Attorney Welty
said they were ready fur tho arraign
ment, Ae said they desired to waive
the reading of the aflldavlt and enter
a plea of not guilty to tho charge.
Prosecutor Pomerere said they had a
right to waive the reading of the sill
davit, but that the prisoner must an
swer for herself as to her guilt or in
nocence. With this statement by the prosocu
Justice Keigner asked Mrs. George if
she was guilty or not guilty of the
charge made against her in the afll
davlt. Mrs. George, while seemingly not
disturbed in the least, but in a very
weak and scarcely audible voico, ans
wered! "Not guilty."
After the arraignment there was
some little controversy butween the
attorneys aa to the time for the pre
liminary hearing.
Prosecuting Attorney Pomerene de
sired to have tho time for the prelim
inary hearing aet for Saturday on ac
count of engagements in the common
pleas court every day during the
week. Mrs. George's oounsel insisted
on having the hearing within the stat
utory time, four days, and then Pros
ecutor Pomerene named the hour for
Tuesday afternoon at 1 o'olock, which
was ordered. Mrs. George was then
taken back to the oounty Jail.

presses the hope that tho country is
not on the eve of a revolution. All
the troops will be supplied with two

SHIPS
Transports of a Modern Style Are
Planned by War Department
MOBILE TO BE OVERHAULED,
The Atlantic Transport Liner the First
to lis Converted Tha Contract lot
the Work Awarded to the Cramp ship
Ilullillng Company,
Washington, Oct. 13. Plans have
been completed by tho war department
for converting several of the steam
ships used in carrying troops during
the war with Spain into ilrst-clas
troop ships. J ho former Atlantic
transport liner Mobile will be the first
of theso vessels to be converted. The
contract for tho work on the Mobile
has been awarded to the Cramp Ship
liuildlng Company. According to the
plans which were drawn by a
naval expert, the ship will be
overhauled from stem to stern. Ihe
quarters of tho oflicers will be on the
spar deck, and there will bo stateroom
accommodations for eighty-four. On
the promenade deck aft there will be a
hospital with a capacity of sevcnty-n!x
cots. Tho hospital will have a com
plete dispensary and an operating
room. On the deck forward there will
bo a promenade, where the men will
take exercise. This will bo covered
with a dark blue awing, as on the hos
pital ships, so that invalid soldiers may
bo protected from sun and rain.
Tho quartors of tho men will bo be
tween decks. Tho framework of the
bunks will, be tubular east iron, and
each bunk will be so fixed that it may
be folded back against the side of the
ship whoa not in use. This will make
it possible, if all the bunks are folded
up at tho same time, for tho men to
have practically the entire apace
between decks from one end of
the ship to the other to move about in.
According to the particular place
where each bunk is located it will
have either two or three berths, and
each berth will be provided with a
mattress and blanket. The entire
ship will be lighted with electricity,
and the space between decks supplied
with cooled air from a large ventilat
ing plant. A distilling apparatus hav
ing a capacity of 3,000 gallons a day,
and a refrigerating plant large enough
to keep cool an ample supply of fresh
beef and vegetables will also be in
stalled. Other ships to be refitted are the
Mississippi, Michigan, Massachusetts,
Manitoba, Minnekaska and probably
the Roumanian, Obdam and Panama.
It Is the intention of tho War depart
ment to make these vessels the finest
troop ships afloat, and it is particular
lv desired to make the quarters of the
mon as comfortable as possible. i
ARMY OFFICER IN COVENTRY,
A Hotel Keeper's Insult Was l'ermltted
to Oo Unresented.
Washington, Oct. 13. There is a
disturbance In army circles over a re
port which has reached Washington
that an officer of high rank, said to be
Major Tucker, son-in-law of Mrs. John
A. Logan, had his face slapped by the
proprietor of the Hotel Majestic in At
lanta, while in uniform, and that he
failed to resent the insult. Instead,
the officer is said to have turned on
his heel and walked away, excusing
himself for not retaliating or calling
his insulter to task on the ground that
he did not desire to engage in a brawl
while in uniform. The officers at once
out it heir former associate dead and
united in an appeal to the War de
partment to have him transferred to
some other location, charging that his
conduct waa scandalous to tho service,
and that, for hla cowardice, social rec
ognition was Impossible from those
acquainted with the circumstances.
The causea which led to the slapping
are not giveu, but are supposed to have
been a dispute over the management
of tho house or tho items of a bill
What tho army officers object to la the
lack of spirit shown In tho submission
to an affront, all the greater because
of tho uniform worn, and which, it Is
contended, should even at tha risk of
life been answerod by a blow
