Efforts of counsel for the dofenso to discredit testimony ot physicians appear ing In behalf of tho crown thus fur have been futile. Whllo differing slightly on the smaller questions pertaining to the cause of Mccarty's death, the prosecu tion's experts have been unanimous that death was due to a clot of blood on tho brain caused by dislocation of the neck. The defense hopes to establish the fact that McCarty was In poor condition when he entered' the ring on May 24 and that the blow delivered by Pelky In tho first found did not have sufficient torco to cause fatal results. Six witnesses remained to testify for the defence. The crown will present wit nesses In rebuttal. Miss Shaw Hurls Brick Into London Police Station LONDON.

President Wilson has taken a firm stand behind the Glass currency bill and hus told demo cratlo members of the house banking and currency committee that as under the constitution he has the right to recom mend specific legislation to congress, he feels Justified in recommending the meas ure now before them. It was said at the Whlto House today that he would not compromise on the es sential features of the measure, particu larly those which concern concentration of reserves in New York City, and con trol of tho money market. The fight over the retirement of 1700,- 000,000 3 per cent bonds promises to be a spirited one. Several democratic mem ber of the house committee declare such a provision should have been retained In tho bill. Mr. Class would not say today whether he would Insist on putting It back In the measure, but admitted It had been withdrawn against his protest. 16 Is understood that the president Irani favorably to such a provision, but other framers of the bill are reported to have taken the position that a separate meas ure Incorporating that feature can be In troduced In December if desired. Elaborate preparations are being made to; prevent on Monday, when President Wilson delivers his currency message to congress, the push and crowding cor ridors of the capltol that marked the reading ot a previous message, in which the president shattered recent precedent. The order has gone out that each sena tor and representative will have one ticket to the gallery and no more. It will be a case of "No ticket, no seat." It Is expected that a number of mem bers of the cabinet will be on the floor of the house to hear the president ad dress congress, and It Is almost certain that tho diplomatic gallery will be crowded, as It was on the previous oc casion.

With the heavy rain that was genera, Friday night over a greater portion ot the winter wheat sono of Nebraska, rnllroml crop experts aro talking of a yield ol 00,000,000 and possibly 65,000,000 bushels foi the state. Either quantity would bo a bumper'crop, tho former high mark hav ing been a little In excess of 65.000,0'X bushels. The rain of Friday ntght Is conceded to have finished off tho winter wheal crop In perfect condition and with tlx cooler weather following, It Is said thai tho grain Is now beyond any possible Injury. In addition to perfecting the wheat, the rain has made certain ono of tin biggest ont crops ever raised In tho statu and made a big yield of corn almost cer tain. The rain covered a wide area, mtsslnh only a small section ot tho country, In the extreme northwest portion of the state.

In the extreme aoutliern portion ot tin state the wheat Is almost ready for har vesting, but the men are not there to tako care of It after It Is cut Many men from the nearby towns are going into the wheat fields and the schools and col' leges of Nebraska and other states are furnishing a fair supply of help, but still there Is a demand for many more men. In times In the past labor agonclcB o! Omaha and other large cities have sent thousands of men to the grain fields, hut they are not doing It now. Take tho Omaha labor agencies as an example ; they are not catering to the harvest hand trade and none of them are attempting to do any business In this line. Decisions of the Interstate Railway commission have done away with party rates and whether It is one man or 100 the rate In the ttato Is a straight 2 cents per mile. The low rate of travel precludes tha oharglng of a commission and conse quently It a man applies for a Job to k harvesting he Is told there is nothing doing. Plenty of Work. However, it is not difficult for a man in Omaha to find work In the harvest fields. All he has to do Is to buy a ticket, go to one of the depots and board a train. If he goes, out In any direction, south, west or north, at. any time within the next few days, ho will find plenty of work at from 3 to U per day, -with board and lodging and laundry free.
