The fruit growers bad Hi- i resdy made n. complaint f the Interstate Commerce commission and had Intended to push thi easj in the evant. of tbe re f usal of. the rm1 to nieka the desired conces sion. Frier to November II had been customary to allow the rtshlpment or reconalgnment of roods In car lots, from points on the Hock Island without extra charge, fruit men In Omaha, Keneas City and other Jobbing- points war unable to reconslgn their fruit at mill for a through rate from tie Martina- point.

Thla charge did not apply to fruits from California, and not only im posed a burden on the commission men, but, ih"V assert, constituted ft discrimination in favor of points east of the Missouri river ii lid California fruit growers. Mr. Branch took the matter up with the traffic depart ment of the 'road ond also made a com plaint to the Interstate Commerce coin ioheluu. The telegram received yesterday v.as Hie insult.

DEATH OLE 10 BLOWS ON HEAD Counsel for tilllette Spends Several Hoars Trylnat t "hake Trsttmany f llweters Who Per f armed Astopsy, HKRKIMKR. N. Y., Nov. -To phy sicians Who were present at the autopsy held on Grace, Brown's bofly went on the stand t the Gillette murder trial today and tentlfle.1 that the girl received blows before entering the water that were suffi cient to cause death, and which, In their opinion, did cause: death In this ease. These physicians Dr. A. O. Douglas and Dr. II H. . Douglas, both of Mule Falls, but not relatives, declared under oath that Grace Ttrown was not drowned. It was their opinion that she died from blows which killed or rendered her unconscious befoi-e her body wa dropped Into Big Moo.o lake. They declared that there wos not entmgh water' In the lungs of the body to warrant a theory of drowning. Former Senator Mills, Gillette's senior counsel, conducted the cross-examination. He spent several hours in an effort to shake the teatlmony of these witnesses, and while he aurx eeded In confusing Dr. A. O. Douglas somewhat, neither of the phy sicians withdrew their opinion that Grace Brown was killed or rendered Mnconsc.iouf before she was immersed in the waters of Big Moose lake. The theory advanced by the defense was that the blows could have been administered after death, snd the line of Questioning Indicated a contention that the girl In drowning loss to the surface of the water three times and each time struck the over turned skiff and received the Injuries in question. Testlmnay of Physicians. Dr. O. A. Douglas went on the witness stand in' tha Gillette trial here today ami testified that Grace Brown was killed by Injuries Intltctnd before her body fell into the Big Moo3e lake, where It Was found. Chester Gillette is on trial charged with having caused the young woman's dwith. Dr. Douglas was one of the physlclunx who conducted the autopsy on Grace Brown's body. He also testified that tlic tennis racquet which Gillette burled and which tha sheriff found v as capable of producing; the abrasions snd other Injuries found on the body. "The condition of the girl's lungs did not Indicate drowning," said Dr. Douglas. This latter statement was stricken out. Tb Hps were swollen and the tip of the noss waa enlarged and discolored. The left center upper tooth was overlapping the right renter upper tooth. The -left cheek bone was swollen., . There were abrasions of the membrane of the lips. These Injuries were Inflicted before- death, tha witness aald. The. blood . vessels of the head had been, separated aa If by blows. .An objection to the word "blows' was sustained. . Dr. Douglas then deacrilied the head as , nr. miiim . : iurio n,u ooi un w. ; mere wus,a pi-m ckh o" Itue Mfttm dui no Itftcture.oi tne .. .

In bis cross-examination of Dr. Douglas, Mr. Mills, senior counsel for Gillette, ques tioned the witness shout any Indications the body of Grace Brown might have shown. The attorney first took up the subject of tbe girl's eyes. "Did you say there was much membranee In them?" asked Mr. Mills. "You say there was much hemmorrhsge In them?" asked Mr. Mills, substituting hemmorrhsge for "membrane." "Yes." "Isn't that iu Indication of drowning usually?" "U Is." The witness slso testified that the swell ing of the Hps, the enlargement of the tip of the nose snd the light red coloring of the lungs ware symptoms of drowning. Mr. Mills then took up the question of the condition of the lungs as shown at the autopsy. "Did they fill the cheat cavity'." "Tea" "Isn't that an indication of drowning'.' "Not necesrarily." "It Is ordinarily known as a symptom of drowning. Isn't It?" "Sometimes." Mr. Mills thcu'snked Dr. Doug'.as if he would say thst a body lts.1 been drowned ordinarily If he saw nlnrged lips, dilated pupils of the eye, swollen and mattersted nese tip and reddened lungs." "If the body had been taken from the water it would be apt to." said Dr. Doug las. Mr. Mills continued hie crosa-exsiaiiiatlon of Dr. Douglas, the question seeming to Indicate that the defense will seek to show that the marks and bruises found on Grace Brown's body were caused by bumping against the bottom of the boat when she rose to the surface after falling into tho lake. Dr. Iiuglas occupied the aland much ot the afternoon. GEORGE BURNHAM ON' TRIAL 4 ouasel of Mutual Beaerte l ife laces t'onrt on Charge of I.araeay. NEW TOHK. Nov. hi.
