THE friends of Wallace and those of ?

THE friends of Wallace and those of Pat
tison have started each literary burea at
Philadelphia for their man, and there is more
activity in print as to their contest than has so
far been shown in the Republican canvass.
This does not look very much as though they
take stock in Senato- Quays view that no mat
ter what Republican is put up his election is
absol utely sure. Wallace and Pattison are
seemingly quite in earnest in their ambition to
get upon the Democratic ticket.

knights Of Aurora Case Trans
ferred From the Newspa-
perS to the Courts.

The Office of r. r. Odell, United
States commissioner, was crowded yes
terday when the preliminary hearing of
Q. A. Gardiner, the letter carrier, was
called. Gardiner was charged with
opening letters. The prosecution was
conducted by Eugene Hay, Frank Davis
appearing for the defense.
Inspector 5. Z. Child was the first
witness. He testified to the manner in
which he trapped the defendant. He
mailed number of letters, three on the
East side. at the East side station, and
two in a box OH the East side. He put
money in the envelopes in order to de-
termine whether Gardiner was the man
or not. Two of these letters he found
afterwards in the mail bag of Gardiner
at the postoffice. These two letters
were in perfect condition. He deposited
them about 10 O'Clock the previous even
ing and found them in GARDENERS bag
at II the next morning. He also
found letter addressed to ID.

1t contained money order on the office
at Excelsior, Mimi, for Sl.20. Another
letter, opened. was addressed to Miss
Carrie Barron. He did not know what
it had contained except by what the let
ter itself said. He was stopped at this
point from stating what the letter said.
Miss Marie Wales, Iowa City, To-, Col
lege Hill. was the name and address on
another letter. and r. B. MaSterson,
Helena, Mont, Custer Publishing COM
pany, Philadelphia, was another.
On the crOss-eXaminatlOn Inspector
Child gave very graphic description
of how Gardiner had confessed to him
that he opened two letters, and how he
had begged for the sake of his wife and
children to be let off. The same con-
fession was repeated to the postmaster.
The result OF the hearing was that
Gardiner was held to the United States
court at st. Paul, bail being fixed at
$4,000. Frank Davis made G strong plea
to have the bonds reduced to 500, but

McLeod's Charges Against Capt.
Ness-Tin Box Matters.

McLeod's Charges Against Capt.
Ness-Tin Box Matters.
When the police commission met yes
terday morning the first business taken
up was the complaint preferred by Ser
geant Fox against Mcleod, charging
that the officer had been found asleep
on his beat on the night of Nov. Ia. Nc
Leod didn't deny that he had been
asleep, but explained that he had been
before the commission that morning in
relation to the White case, with various
other excuses. most OF them f1imSy. But
that was not all that Mcleod had to say.
He had presented a long cOmmunica-
ton to the commission which was in
tended to create sensation. 1t did
produce mild one.
McLtUd's communication began by
stating that he understood that his time
Oh the force was limited. Then it pro-
ceeded to state that Capt. Ness, of the
South side station, and Officer Stable
had conspired to .'give him (McLe0d)
the worst of it," The raid on the White
residence formed the foundation of the
charges. Mcleod stated that the White
residence was believed to be house of
,ill-fame, and that he had been piloted
thither on the night of the raid by two
detectives who had evidence against the
house. Then when the trial of the re-
Sulting damage suit came up in the
district court, Capt. Ness, Mcleod
charges, sent these two detectives away
from Minneapolis SO that Mcleod could
not avail himself of their testimony.
When questioned by the commission
Mcleod StOutly asserted that he could
prove every charge, but the commission
didn't believe him. They took it that
the charges against Ness were the out
come of McLeod's enmity for the Cap
tain, aided and abetted by gossip. The
whole matter ended by Mcleod re-
ceiving information that he was no
longer police officer. His dismissal
took effect yesterday.
Then the commission let their brains
go into the ''little tin box" affair. Ii
will be remembered that few weeks
ago the commission decided that
the SalOOnkeeperS who had lost money
through the Ray collections must pay
up the full $1,000 within forty-eight
hours or close up. Later respite was
granted them until the courts had
pronounced upon Rays guilt or inno-
cence. Yesterday the commission
again shifted the responsibility by re-
ferring the whole matter to the city
council.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The opera "Fauvette," produced by
the Boston Ideals at the Grand opera
house last night. is q singularly quaint
and interesting work. The first act is
almost wholly explanatory, and gives
no promise of the good things that fol-
low. The second act Is replete with ex-
cellent comedy, and music of a very
high order. The most noteworthy num-
bers are 1.-The ARAB Prayer" for male
voices, magnificent concerted bit
just before the finale, and also
the finale itself. In the last
act the Camel duet for soprano and
baritone is highly characteristic, and
the tenor solo is an exquisite sample of
the composers best style. Robert Dun
bar carried off the vocal honOrS of the
evening, and Henri Laurent made hit
as the passe tenor with method of his
own. Miss Jennie Corea in the title
role was quite acceptable, and the re-
mainder OF the cast adequately met the
demands of both book and score. The
chorus and orchestra did efficient work,
and, altogether, "Fauvette" made an
excellent impression. The performances
will be repeated tonight and Wednes-
day night and Wednesday matinee.

THE PROPER PLACE.
The Affairs of the knights OF
Aurora in Court.

Aurora in Court.
A hearing of the petition of number
OF the officials of the local temples of
the Knights of Aurora and Rev. o. l..
Powers for the appointment of re-
ceiver to close up the affairs of the
order came up before Judge Hicks yes
terday in the district court. Mcdowell
~ Steele appeared as attorneys for the
knights and made an objection to the
manner in which the action had been
begun by Judge j. o. Pierce, which
Judge Hicks overruled. The testi
mony was chiefly of documentary
character consisting of circulars and re-
ports upon which the petitioners base
their claim of bad faith and fraud. The
report of Special Examiner Harvey was
not admitted. the court holding that the
proper proceeding will be for him to
testify. Recorder Kenrick was put
upon the stand to testify to the nom
payment of the claims of w. L. Burr,
deceased. The principal point in the
case thus far developed seems to be
as to the alleged misrepresentation
of the grand organizer as to the
membership and financial standing OF
the order An effort was made by the
petitioners to prove this by members
who had, 1t is Gained, been induced to
join the order because of these repre-
sensations. Judge Hicks ruled that
testimony TO this effect will not be adj
miSSible in evidence unless it can be
shown that these alleged representa-
tons. or misrepresentation. of the or
ganiZer were made with the knowledge
of the officers corresponding to a board
of directors of the order. The case
seems to hinge upon this point.

The Jap Must Be Shocked.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 24.-The supreme
court OF the United States to-day af-
firmed the judgment of the circuit court
for the southern district of New York,
Judge Lacombe presiding,in the case OF
Shibuya Jugiro. the Japanese confined
in Sing Sing prison, New York. under
sentence of death by means of cleo
trieity. 1t was sought to secure Jugiro's
release on habeas corpus on the ground
that the Kemmler case had demon
strated that electrocution was cruel and
unusual punishment, and as such pro-
hibted by the constitution. Chief JUS
tice Fuller announced the decision of
the court. The court affirmed the judy
ment upon the authority of the decision
in the Kemmler case. There was no
written opinion. and the court did not
go into the consideration of the points
raised by Juglro's counsel. holding that
so far as federal questions were con-
cerned the case did not differ from that
of Kemmler. This, it is believed, de-
strOys the last legal resort of the coun-
sci for .JuTirO

CONTRACTS FOR FUEL.
Plenty of Bids and Prospects Good
for a Fight.

A committee, composed of twenty
members of the council, presided over
by Aid. Downs and assisted by Assist
ant Engineer Huntress, sat around the
table in the committee room off the
council chamber yesterday and listened
to the reading of the bids on the fuel
contracts for the coming year. John
Norton and John Goodnow, fuel dealers.
were also present. The work Of the
fuel committee is most important, since
it contracts for all the fuel used by the
city except that for the water works de-
partment and the school and library
boards and there was not little
kicking among the aldermen as to
the composition of the committee.
Many desired that the whole council be
given charge of the fuel matter, and
others that it be entrusted to commit
tee composed of two members from
each committee. since all were inter-
ested in it. But it wasn't. The bids
were plentiful, and covered almost
every sort of coal, to he delivered at all
sorts of times. Two bids were rejected
because they were accompanied by
no certified check or bond. After the
read, it being nearly 3 o'clock,
Friday afternoon. John Norton had
made an offer to sell the city certain
variety of coal at very low rate, argu
ing that it was as good as Hooking Val
ley and much cheaper. In order that
there might be no chance for dispute as
to its quality, he presented to the COM
mttee certificate from the engineer
of the West hotel, where the coal has
been used, which set forth all that Mr..
Norton claimed for the coal. There
promises to be very pretty fight over
the award of fuel contracts. 1t is said
that the other coal dealers have formed
a combination against Norton and are
determined to beat him. Those who
know Norton are satisfied that he will
''give them a game" AS will be seen
from the above statement, Norton's
bids are the lowest received, GOOdnow
& Lowther's being next, but, as he has
some enemies among the aldermen,
there will be trouble ere he secures the
contracts.
