BYRNES KNOWS HIM.
The Inspector Says He Knows the
American Jack. f

New YORK, April 25.-Deputy Cor
oner Jenkins concluded the AUTOPSY OH
the remains of the woman murdered bv
Jack the Ripper" this afternoon.
The only fact of Importance was the
disclosure that the mutilations were
evidently made while the woman still
lived. And it was apparent from the
struggles that the poor wretch pre-
vented the butcher from fully complet-
ing what he originally intended-the re-
moval of certain organs, which had been
partly torn. but not removed, as in
the case of the Whitechapel murders.
1t was not possible, the coroner
said to determine whether death re-
suited from strangulation OF from the
other wounds Inflicted. Inspector
Byrnes tonight made statement to
reporters to the effect that while the
police have not yet arrested the mur-
derer, yet they know whom he is and
hope to have him In custody before
long. The murderer. the inspector
says. is cousin of "Frenchy," or Fran
co.'s Au Algerion, who was arrested last
night: This mans name is not known.
but his face is not unfamiliar to the po-
lice. 1t is not known that Frenchv
spent Wednesday night with the mur-
dered woman, and staid at the hotel on
the night that his cousin perpetrated
the horrible deed. 1t is not known
whether he knew of what was going on
or not: he was alone.

told Casey that theichiefs would notcome

JOINT TARIFFS
OF the Rock Island and Atchison
With the Pan Handle.

CHICAGO, April 25.-A month ago the
commissioners of the Western Traffic
association decided that the Rock
Island and the Atchison roads
possessed an undue advantage over
their competitors by reason of
their joint tariffs with the Pan Handle
road on the traffic from Chicago to
Western points. The Pan Handlers
participation in the shipments is simply
to switch the ears from the factories to
the tracks of the two roads named, and
yet for this service it is allowed a pro-
portion of the rate considerably
in excess of the regular switch
ing charge. The Rock Island and the
Atchison were ordered to cancel these
joint tariffs as early as April 80. Both
companies appealed from the decision
of the commissioners, and the matter
would have come before the advisory
board at the meeting of April
had not such meeting been post
pOned. AS the adjourned session
of the advisory board will not be held
until May 6, the board of commissioners
has issued a circular announcing that
the time fixed for the cancellation of the
joint tariffs be extended to May 80. On
the application of the Southern
Pacific company the commission
ers to-day ordered an increase
tickets from Pacific coast terminals to
the Eastern terminals of the Transcon-
tinental lines, and an increase of $40 in
the rates for six months excursion tick
cts between the same points, such rates
TO become effective on a date to be fixed

association,

MOEN-WILsoN MYSTERY.
The Former Paid the Latter to
Hush Up Crime.

Hush Up Crime.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. April 25.-George
NJ. Rice, painter by trade, town con-
stable and prominent G. A. R. man, and
who is DR.. Wilson's brother-in-law,
talked to a reporter about the Moen-
Wilson mystery, and said that Wilson
after receiving his first money from
Moen, told Rice the secret which en-
abled him to get the cash. Wilson had
been an eye witness in a stable, of
crime which Rice would not name, hav-
ing promised not to do so until after
Wilson's death. but which, he said was
one punishable, under Massachusetts
state laws, by twenty years punish
ment. and for which but two
or three prosecutions have been de-
clded in this state, and those old cases.
"Ihe crime ITSELF" said Mr.. Rice, "Was
neither murder nor conspiracy regard
ing patents, nor had it anything to do
with the mysterious disappearance of a
hungarian, alleged to have been an in
ventor of barbed wire fencing, nor any
or the alleg unlawful acts that have
neen limited at in print. This crime
that prompted the senior Moen to give
Wilson nearly s5O0,OOO was not commit
ted by Mr.. Moen, nor did he know any
thlng OF 1t in advance. On the contrary,
the only motive that inspired his action
was the protection of the family name.
If he had kicked Wilson out of the
staDleWhere the crime occurred, probably
that would have saved him the large
sums of money that he afteward paid
out. There was nothing in any of the
Moen-Wilson transactions that reflected
in any way on the character, honesty
and upright manhood of the deceased.
The crime as committed was probably
inspired by unsound morals and indis-
cretion, rather than by criminal intent
upon the part of the person who COM
mitted it.
Mr.. Rice said he had no doubt that
Wilson had obtained funds from Mr.
Moen, and that the latter's death had
closed that source of revenue, Wilson
would return to Massachusetts.

no sufficient reason to say that this
means pending before the lapse of two
years. 1t would affect. Jas we have seen,
many merltoriouS cases and many inno-
cent parties. 1t should not be held that.
as to the past, it was intended to be a
statute of repOse. when the records of
the department prove that vast
number of frauds upon the
United States would be smoLh-
cred by the construction. To
do so would favor fraud much more than
secure repost to the honest man. The
makers of this law were well acquainted
with the situation of affairs; the land
laws have been the subject of great dis
cussion for many years in and out of
congress: the committees on the public
lands are distinguished for their indus
try and Intelligence, and they
Were Fully Aware
of all of the facts that have been
stated here. Had they desired to ac-
complish the purpose that is claimed
by some this act does accomplish as
it reads, they shonld and doubtless
would have used language too plain and
direct to require construction. On the
contrary, they use the present participle'
in this clause, and say, "Where
there shall be no pending con-
test or protest. - meaning there
by clearly, l think, pending
tnen presently at the date of this act. as
it was not intended to be limited to con-
tests or protests pending within two
years after the date of the final receipt,
when the case had arisen before the
present act took effect and the two
years had elapsed. The statute thus
becomes one of limitation as to the
future, without Overthrowing the
pending contests or protests. When
the two years did not terminate
before the date of the act
the contest or protest to be valid must
be filed within the two years. There is
no force, l think, in the point that the
statute enumerates cases arising under
timber culture or pre-emption laws, for
these laws, although repealed by the
present act, have been etficaciOus to in
augurate entries which either have pro-
ceeded to final entry or may yet
do so. No new cases can arise
under the timber culture or pre-
emption laws, but it was neces-
sary that this act should notice them to
cover the whole ground. Neither does
the proposition seem sound one that
by this statute it was intended to ex-
pedite the public business and Issue of
patents long held back by contests. In
my Judgment the way congress must
expect to have patents issued is by
furnishing sufficient clerical force 10
accomplish the work, and not by sud
denly rushing great masses
OF cases to patent, although
contests legally instituted are pending
and in which experience leaves no
reason to doubt fraud exists. To thus
reward the fraud-and squander the pub
lie lands could not have been the pur-
pose of our national legislature. These
are my views upon the law presented
and all the points that deem it neces
Sary TO discuss.
