INDIANAPOLIS. May l3.-There ha.
been some mention of ex Senator Nc.
Donald's succeeding to the chaIrmanship
OF the Democratic National committee.
The papers of the state oppose him. The
ex senator said regarding it:
Il have no communication with any Of
the members Of the National committee,
and if have been considered in connec.
ton with the craftsmanship | am not

tom and precedent to go outside the com.
mittee membership for Il chairman, and |
do not believe it will be done. 1t is my
opinion that the chairman will be Mr..
Brice OF Ohio or MI. German of Mary
land, if either of them will accept the DO.
sition. Ii they will not, aud an Indiana
man is wanted, | believe that Mr.. Sheer,
in. the member Of the committee from
this state, and at present secretary, is
most likely to be chosen. IF they go out
side of the committee, which is improba

chosen, but if | should be elected | would

SALT LAKE Cry, May I3.-On Sat
urday when the verdict of mot guilty"
was announced in the Spencer murder
case, there was some applause, but it was
quickly checked by Judge Judd, who
turned to the Jury and said:
Gentlemen Of tie JHy-I want o say
to you in reference to the verdict you
have rendered, that you have doubtless
followed vour oath according to your con
sciences; and You have doubtless acted
honestly, but If this is not a case of muir
der, speaking from a practice of over %
years, then | have never seen one in a
court of Justice. | am now of the opin.
ion that Brother Young was right
when be said, in his argument to the Jury
that the law and courts of justice in this
country are no protection to anybody.
You may now be discharged.
1t was thought that the jury might re-
turn a verdict of m~anslaughter, but ac-
quittal was not looked for, and the result

Mrs. Myra Gaines POst-Mortem Judg-
ment.
WAsHINGToN, May, l3.-The United
States supreme court to-day, in an opinion
by Justice Bradley, awarded 10 the ex-
ecutors of the will of Myra Clark Gaines
the sum of $567 900 against tho city Of
New Orleans for the use of the property
sold by the city, but recovered by Mrs.
Gaines after a long litigation. The iudg
ment of the lower court awarding the ex-
ecutors 81, 300, 900 for the use OF unim-
proved property sold by the city, was not
concurrcd in.
The case has probably been the most
interesting, hardest contested and most
prolonged known to the judicial history of
this country. The first suit in the ease
was brought by Mrs. Gaines. then wife of
Gen. Whitney, in 1884, and since that
time decision has followed decision in re-
gard to it. The first suit sought to re
cover what was known as theEvariste Blanc
tract in New Orleans. Blanc bought the
tract for S400,0 600 from the executors of
Gen. Daniel Clark, a prominent citizen of
New Orleans. He sold it and some other
land to the city of New Orleans.
The grounds on which Mrs. Gaines set
up her claim were that she was a child of
Gen. Clark by a secret marriage between
him and Ilelime Carriere, and that Gen.
Clark had left a later will than the one
under which the property was sold. This
secret marriage formed the axis on which
litigation reyolyed. and the case was
fought with bitterness by both sides. 1t
was not until a few years before the war
that Mrs. Gaines was finally declared to
be a legitimate child and the lawful heir
of Gen. Clark. Even then the city of
New Orleans did not surrender. and after
the war Mrs. Gaines was compelled to
bring suit for damages in the circuit court
of the United States for the Louisiana dis
trict, which gave judgment in her favor for
81 1925, 667. The case, it is generally con-
ceedcd, exbausts all resources of the law,
n is regarded as the final settlement of
the litigation. Mrs. Gaines. fighting to
the very last for her rights, is dead, and
so it is believed are all her immediate rel
atives, except her daughter in-law, Hattie
L. Whitney, in whose name, as admins
tratrix of the estate of Mrs. Gaines, the
case stands on the court docket.

American Copper Men Return.


NEW YORK, May 13.-At the steam
ship dock to-day many prominent copper
operators from this city and Boston were
impatiently awaiting the arrival of the
Cunard Servia for definite intelligence of
the result of the European conference be-
tween American mine representatives and
the deiunct French syndicate people. Mr..
Haggin, who is sole owner of the Ana.
oonda mine, looked drcadfully savage
when questioned about his journey abroad.
He said with emphasis his trip had been
productive of no good. I'VE were unable
to come to any agreement and have come
back to throw our metal on the market
Tor what it will bring"
He positively declined to say anything
further. Col. Livermore, who accom-
panied Mr.. Hoggin and other American
mine reI resentatives abroad, was inclined
to be more communicative. The report,
Llvermore said, that the Americans found
the Frenchmen reluctant to meet the
mine owners hall way in settling the dit
fculty was entirely without foundations;
the Frenchmen seemed always ready and
willing to enter into any agreement to
prevent a panic. The French banks
which held the copper, even now
have entire confidence in the metal as
security. Col. Livermore gave the out
lines of the terms offered by the Ameri-
cans, The proposition was that the
banks should take a certain number of
years in which to market their
copper, the number of years mentioned
occasioned no dispute; that the mines
should reduce the production of last
year, which was deemed for in excess of
the worlds wants, a certain per cent until
the banks metal could be disposed of;
that there should be a minimum price of
about f45 pounds per ton, an equivalent
of 10 cents per pound for lake copper,
agreed upon for the metal to be sold by
the banks and mines. This figure was
thought to be low enough to meet con-
sumption and not so low as to ruin the
mines. After our terms were
gone over in a general way
and they seemed to meet favorable
views of the foreign representatives pres
ent, they were laid before a lawyer re pre-
senting the bank directors and foreigners
interested. The representative of the
Rio Tinto mines. | neglected to say, was
not exactly satisfied with our proposition;
he demanded that American mine owners
snOuiu uHTCc u TCSlrlCI Juc export Oh cop
per. Of course we refused to entertain
such ideas; we insisted upon equal terms;
our terms were as | have stated them.
We we're in no hurry and came away
without coming to a definite conclusion. -
1T would seem from what Haggin has
said this noon, y was suggested, that his
mine at least will begin to throw its pro-
duction on the market for whatever it
will bring
We'll" the colonel replied, I'VE may
all have come home prepared to do it
but | don't think we will | won't deny
since our return home some notifications
have been made in our original PROPOSE
ton, and Just now a settlement is not a
hopeless question" During the afternoon
Col. Livermore's rooms at the Brunswick
were filled with representatives of copper
dealers, and a lengthy conference was
held, at which it is stated several cable.

Insane Asylum Investigation.

CHICAGO, May I3.-Thc investigation
of the Chicago insane asylum was
begun in the county court yester-
day morning. The testimony showed
that there were 1000 inmates with room
for only 600, that attendance was INSULT
cient and food bad.
Evidence was introduced to the effect
that patients were fed on pigs heads for
an entire year, with potatoes once a week
for vegetables; there was no service and
patients fought for the possession of the
potatoes with the result that the weak
got none, aud that over fifty of the in
mates became affected with scurvey. One
of the medical STAFF testified that in one
OF the wards there was an average of
thirty patients with only nine rooms, or an
average Of three in each room. 1t was
absolutely necessary to have only one or
two in one room. These rooms are 81 by
10 feet in size; the beds are q feet wide
but IN many cases two patients are forced
to sleep in them. Under such circum-
stances with insufficient attendants, pa
tients would climb over the cots and fight
and the medical attendant was frequently
called six or eight times a night to go to
patients who were attempting to commit
murder or suicide. This state of affairs
was reported to members of the county
board again and again, but nothing was
done to remedy it Much other revolving
testimony was brought in, The board of
county commissioners this afternoon passed
a resolution naming a committee of prom
lnent citizens to recommend a suitable
person to succeed the present superinten-
dent, DR.. Herman, whose management
has been 80 severely commented upon re.
