WASTES OF SOCIETY,
e. V. SmaIley Puts Competition in
Business at the Head Of the List.

e. V. Smalley Puts Competition in
Business at the Head Ofthe List.
Last night the Single Tax league list
ened to paper by Z. V. Smalley, of st.
Paul. on The Wastes of Modern Soci-
ety." Mr.. Smalley left the meeting
soon after reading his paper. and there
by lessened the discussion that followed.
There were several questions that the
single tax men were waiting to spring
upon him, but he gave them no Opp0r-
tunity.
Mr.. Smalley classed drunkenness,
competition. crime. and bad systems of
taxation as the chief wastes. COmpe-
tltiOh. he thinks, is the greatest waste.
He thought there are too many men en-
gagged in one line of business, too many
grocery stores. too many railroads, too
many newspapers, too many every
thing. This overplus of enterprises for
doing the same thing he con-
sidered the reason why trusts
are formed and why the peO-
pie generally are made to suffer-
lie suggested but one remedy for the
evii-the brotherhood of man. Chris
tianity is gone, he thought. The
churches have Outlived their usefulness.
The soul of man is something apart
from his personal self. The cultivation
OF this soul and the installation into the
minds of the race of the thought that one
man must do nothing that might by any
chance pre- udice the welfare of any other
man would remedy all the wastes; a
man about to engage in the business
of selling scrap iron would look around
to see if there were other men in the
scrap iron business, and if there were
enough of them to supply the scrap iron
trade he would sit down and leave scrap
iron alone. But he did not suggest
what that man. kept out of the scrap iron
business by his love for all other scrap
iron dealers, would do to ger money to
pay for sealskin sacques for his wife
and hobby horses for the little ones
in the glad holiday time. The single
tax men were waiting to ask him about
the waste from unemployed labor, but,
as before stated, they did not get
chance. On the subject of the waste
from crime, he took the ground that all
crime is hereditary and that develop
ment OF the brotherhood of man idea
would. III time, crush out the criminal
instinct.
The next meeting of the league will
be held next Tuesday evening in q. a.
X. hall, Twentieth avenue north and
Washington, in conjunction with the
carpenters union.

Death of Mrs. Hach.

Mrs. Henry Hach died suddenly yes
terday about noon at the residence of
her son, II. l.. Hach, 1910 First avenue
south. Hy l.. Hach, her son, arrived
from the Eass yesterday only to receive
the news that his mother was very low.
She lived but few hours
after his arrival. Mrs. Hach
had lived in Minneapolis only a
couple of years. She moved here
from Chicago to be with her son. The
cause of death is not definitely known.
She was quite old, and it is thought that
age, affected by a severe cold contracted
recently, carried her away. She had
been in feeble health for some time.
Besides IL. l.. Hatch, her son. she leaves
a daughter in Chicago. Her husband
survives her. The arrangements for
the funeral had not been completed last
night, but it will probably be held to-
morrow afternoon from the residence.

TIM BYRNES' CASE.
Mrs. Goodrich Says 1t Was Corser,
and Corser SAYS Nav,


Mrs. Mary A. Goodrich says that she
is not responsible for the consideration
by the grand jury of the case of Timothy
E. ByrneS. the young Republican leader.
Mrs. Goodrich is Mr.. Byrnes' mOther-in-
law. She it was who brought the suits
in the district court that contained the
charges that were considered by the
jury. She says that she has no desire
to do Mr.. Byrnes any harm. Some time
ago she began several suits against
Byrnes to protect her rights, she SAYS,
but that is all. In this connection she
adds that it is interesting to note that
the foreman OF the grand Jury that
began the Investigation of the Byrnes
matter and who subpRnaed Mrs. Good
rich and her husband to give evidence
in the case. is also a defendant in the
civil actions brought by her against the
smiling Byrnes. Z. 5. Corser is the
foreman of the jury. On this point, his
name having been brought into the mat
ter. he SAYS:
AS TO the Indictment of Byrnes for uttering
forged satisfactions if such Indictment
should be had. and if trial and conviction
of ByrneS should follow, il would not affect
the civil suit brought by Mrs. Goodrich
against me, as the criminal suit and civil suit
are entirely distinct. Neither Mr. and Mrs
Goodrich nor myself were in any manner in
strumental in bringing the matter before
the grand jury. Mr.. aud Mrs. Goodrich ap-
peared in obedience TO a subpoena, ana my
only connection with the matter is that

traced between the interests of parties in the
civil and criminal suits it would seem that
Mrs. Goodrich interest all lies in sustaining
the charge OF forgery against Byrnes and my
interest if have any, all lies in the direction
of showing that the satisfactions presented
by ByTnes are genuine. And, further 1

Aid. Bradish, in speaking of the
NOrthlngton pumps, said: cit is in
evidence here that they are in use in

Aid. Hunter fatty denied that such a
statement was in evidence, and it was
stated that MIR. Rinker had SO testified.
Mr.. Hall then said:
The Minneapolis plant is the only
thing of the kind in he world as re-
CARDS its arrangement, direct pressure,
ETC."
Mr.. Bradish again spoke of the large
number of cities.
''What has that got to do with us?"
asked Aid. Hunter.

we are investigating. There is no use

Aid. Hunter laughed and Bradish con-
tinued:
You sit there like an old ass. You

rabbit"
This remark created general amuse-
ment, Aid. Hunter apparently enjoying
it more than any one else.
The questions were then resumed.
Hall stated that he had seen Worth
lngtOn pumps at Baltimore. Davenport,
Toronto, Philadelphia and Buffalo. All
but Davenport were low duty and all
pumped into a reservoir.
do you know that the majority of

Hall thought he could render faithful

engineer in question was only doing his
duty. Aid. Rollins asked if it wasn't

said concerning the breaks.

chairman.

BOTH WANT THE CHILD.
A Sad Story of Domestic InfeIicity
Told by Mrs. Catherine HirdIer.

A Sad Story of Domestic InfeIicity
Told by Mrs. Catherine Hirdler.
Mrs. Catherine Hirdler, late of North
field, but at present resident of Min
neapolis, appealed to the police author
tiles yesterday for protection from her
husband, James Hirdler. and in ex-
PLANTATION of her request, related sad
story of domestic infelicity.
She married Hirdler, she says, In ST.
Louis twelve years ago, at which time
she was an orphan and the posSeSsor in
her own name Of property valued at
$4,000. Soon after their marriage Hird-
Ter began to treat her in cruel and
brutal manner and prosecuted her
Systematically until two years later,
when she was influenced by fear to
transfer her entire property to him. As
soon as he secured possession of the
money he began to Squander it, and for
several years led a reckless life. but
she finally induced him to invest what
remained of their little fortune
in a farm near Mortified, where they
took up their residence For a time
they lived happily, but he returned to
his old habits and two years ago the
farm followed the balance of her dowry
and they were left pennilesS. She then
procured divorce and left him. They
had five children, the eldest of which
was then nine years of age and the
youngest less than two. She left the
children with friends at Milwaukee aud
Birdler returned and abducted the cid
est daughter, Edith, whom he took with
him TO Buffalo. After a search of over
year Mrs. Hirdler regained possession
Of the child and brought her to Mime
apolis, where she placed her in a Meth
Odist family to be cared for. Yesterday
she learned from the friends at North
field that Hirdler had returned looking
for Edith, and at once appealed to the
police for protection.
Measures will be taken to prevent
Hirdler from abducting tile child again
until the courts shall have decided his
claim

Boxer Haley Dies From Hit

Z On Blood Poisoning.

Anaputation Would Have Saved Haley,
But He Wouldn't Have It--His Wife's
Insulter Said to Have Been a Custom
House Inspector--No Glue to His Iden-
THY Yet Found.
NEW YORK, Sep. 24.-Prof. James
Haley, the we'll known lightweight
pugilist and teacher of the art of self
defense, died yesterday afternoon at the
Long Island Hotel, from blood poisoning,
arising from a slight wound in the hand
received while avenging an insult to his
wife.
Mrs. Haley, who is very attractive
young woman, was on her way home
from Harlem on the evening of Saturday,
the 18th inst, where she had been visit
ing her mother, when on leaving the
elevated station at Fulton street, she was
accosted by stranger who had been en-
deavoring to attract her attention on the
train.
She pushed past the fellow, who, how
ever, followed her closely. AS she
reached the hotel and was in the act of
closing the door, the man pushed it open
and forced his way in. Mrs. Haley
screamed for help, and her husband,
who was up stairs came running down.
The insulter ran. Mr.. Haley caught
him, and dealt him blow in the mouth.
AS he scrambled to his feet the
stranger shrieked, ''I'm Custom House
inspector and I'll make you pay for this!''
and then ran away Haley laughed at
the threat and hurried home to console
his wife, who was crying bitterly.
Then he discovered blood trickling
from ring cut between the knuckles of
his second and third fingers, evidently
inflicted by the front teeth of his antago-
mist. 1t seemed 50 trifling that he con-
tented himself with washing away the
blood and applying a bit of sticking
plaster.
A day or two afterward the wound
showed signs of Inflammation, and soon
the hand began to swell in an alarming
manner.
1t grew rapidly worse until umputa-
ton was suggested. This, however,
Haley would not hear of. Had he yielded
to the doctors wishes, there is little
doubt that his life would have been
saved.

A CRASH PREDICTED.
An English Financier Says There Will be
Silver Panic Here.


NEW YORK, Sep. Embarrassing ship
ments of gold from abroad to this coun-
try have begun to alarm foreign bankers.
That these shipments to America will
continue for some time to come is gath
cred from the interviews with the repre-
sentatives of such foreign houses as the
Rothchilds, Speyers, and Lazard Broth
ers.
Robert Giffen, head of the Commercial
Department of the British Board of
Trade, is quoted as saying that more gold
will go to America, in spite of efforts to
prevent it.
According to his theory American
houses are not importing gold to pay for
grain shipments from this side, but to
prepare for silver panic. A crisis in
silver he believes is inevitable and cannot
be averted.
'"The United States,'' he says, ''has
become overloaded with paper currency,
and the issue of $50, O00,000 silver GER
tifcates annually is bound to bring
about a crash speedily"
He believes that the worst of the situa.
ton will be realized by February next,
and that it is now too late to avert it b.
remedial legislation.

ROCHESTER, N. Y, Sep. 24.-John
Bower, who has been connected with the

mission, appointed to investigate charges
OF mismanagement says:
II can give you a few general facts,
but the commissioners having resolved to

CAN'T BUILD SHIPS
Navy Department Considering
the Lake Restrictions.
THE TREATY OF 1917 TO BLAME.
It Allows But Four Armed Vessels, With
No Privileges of Construction.

Western Builders Disseminated Against
Young Robert Sigel Pardoned by the
Prosident--The Torpedo Boat Cushing
Not Allowed to Race--Disloyal Pension
Claimants--Other Washington News.
WASHINGTON, Sep. "a The immense
progress in shipbuilding industries on
the great lakes has brought anew to tho
attention of the State Department a
question of diplomacy that affects the
industrial progress of this country and
our relations with Great Britain.
The Navy Department is restricted in
the places for building new vessels al
most entirely to the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts.
The restriction comes from the treaty
of 1917, which provides that the United
States and Great Britain shall have but
four armed vessels on the great lakes,
and this is construed to mean that nei-
ther country shall construct other yes
sells on the northern frontier, though the
new vessels may be intended for use in
other territory.
1t was this restriction that caused
Secretary Tracy recently to reject the
lowest bidder for building the Naval
Academy practice vessel. The shipyards
of the bidders, F. w. Wheeler & Co., are
at Bay City, Mich. Circumstances have
changed greatly in the great lakes since
the treaty of 1917 went into effect.
Immense progress has been made in
developing the resources of the lake
country and in the building up of its
mechanical industries. There is scarcely
city on the lakes where shipbuilding is
not carried on successfully.
Besides this the great cities of the
lakes desire to have their place in the
proposed naval militia. Each city wishes
to have its own naval reserves, and to
have them trained in the use of the best
guns and in modern naval tactics. But
from any effort in this direction they are
debarred by the treaty of 1917.
BY the terms of the treaty either party
to the agreement may withdraw from its
provisions by giving six months notice to
the other

The Pension Forger Granted a Pardon on
Account of Illness.
WASHINGTON, Sep. 24.-The sensation
caused more than two years ago by the
arrest. trial AND conviction of Robert
Sigel, the son of Gen. Franz Sigel, for
forgery in New York city, is recalled by
the action of the President In granting a
pardon to the young man. Young Sigel
was an employe in the office of his father,
who was Pension Agent in New York.
He was arrested on the charge of forging
certificates, convicted and sentenced on
March 81, 1883, to six years imprison-
ment in the Erie county penitentiary at
hard labor.
He was afterwards removed to the
Kings County PenitentfaHy, where he
now is. His health suffered consider
ably during his confinement and much
pressure was brought to bear on the
President for his pardon because of his
feeble condition.
On June 3 last the President granted
a pardon to take effect in December next,
but the young man failed SO rapidly that
he concluded to allow him to be released
