Views of Robert Pinkerton.

NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-Robert Pinkerton
gave his views on the Borden murders To q
reporter to-day. He said he had not stud.
led the case from q detectives stand point
but only through the newspapers. He said,
in reply to question whether Lizzie Bor-
den's arrest was justified by the facts. that
he thought 1t was. but that such an action
did not necessarily imply that she was
guilty. 1t would be quite possible for a
person to enter the house by stealth and
commit the crime without being seen, and
to prove the point Mr. Pinkerton mentioned
several cases where large sums of money
had been stolen by expert thieves in broad
daylight. When asked If he thought the
murderer an insane persoS. he said: 'Judg-
ing from what have read about the case
1t seems to me that the person no killed
Mr.. and Mrs. Borden must have been insane,
but would not care TO be quoted as ad-
vancing an insanity theory" Continuing
he said: 1T seems strange that there are no
more conclusive clews to be followed, If the
reports of blood-stained walls and ceiling
are true. If they were in such condition
the murderer must have gone away with
blood stains on his clothing. Now where
are these bloody clotbesf The mere fact that
Miss Borden has told conflicting stories Is
more in her favor than If she had unhesl-
tatlngIy SUCK 10 the same tale, as an ln-
nocent person is more likely to make con-
fiictinR statements than a guilty one."
Concerning the Pinkerton detective who
was placed on the case and who was Sc
verely criucised by the Fall River authori-
ties, he said: The authorities seemed to
have thought that our detective was
brought into the case for the purpose of
protecting Lizzie Borden. Such was not
the case. He was wired by the family to
follow any clews that might lead to the de-
tectIon of the criminal. He has been re-
moved from the case at my suggestion, az
/ thought it unwise TO have private de-
tective on the case until the authorities
had reached some decision" The lawyer
who has charge of Miss Bordens interests
Mr.. Pinkerton considers a very clever man.
and thinks her interests will not suffer
while under his care.

LovEJOY REPLIES TO GOMPERs.

The Carnegie Company Has Not q Monopoly
of the Making of Steel Biilets.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
PITTsBURG, Aug. l.-Secretary Lovejoy,
of the Carnegie Steel Company, said to-
day: THE statement made by Mr.. Com
pers in his address yesterday that the Car
negie Steel Company has a monopoly of the
making of steel oillets is absurd. Not to
speak of many other big firms in other
parts of the country, such as the Illinois
Steel Company, the Pennsylvania Steel
Company. and the Cambria Iron Company
right here in Pittsburg, there are many
concerns making bllets. The Carnegie
company has about 30 per cent. of the total
production of steel billets. No man gets
less than Sl.44 day for ten hours at Home
stead, Mr.. Gompers's assertion that some
get SL14, to the contrary. nOtwithstand-
ing. The men get IA cents an hour. The
criticism on our bringing Pinkertons to
Homestead has no weight in the
face of the law, which per-
mts any man to properly protect
his property against tresDassers and who.
in the words OF Judge Ewing. may fire nu-
that attacks his property. 1t Is said that
We have Only.six hundred men In the mill,
of whom only dozen are skilled. We are
rendy TO meet any assertions of this story
with facts and money. We can prove that
at present there are over ], 500 skilled work
men in the Homestead mill. No threat has
been made by any member of the company
that prosecutions would follow q boycott.
We now say, however. that we will simply
rely upon the law TO protect ourselves
against any consplracies that may be
Matched. AS for the personalities INDUCED
in by Mr.. Gompers and others toward the
members of tho Carnegie Steel Company,
We have no reply to make. The fight is one
of prInciple. In his speech on Saturday
Mr.. GOmpers's attacks were confined prin-
cipally to what have not said. He takes
little occasion to attack any statement
have made"

ARE THEY ELIGIBLE?

Doubt Expressed Whether Congressnen Can
Serve on the Monetary Conference.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Aug. H-A very nice ques-
tion is raised as to the constitutionality OF
the appointment by President Harrison of
Senators Allison. of Iowa. and Jones OF
Nevada, and Congressman McCreary. of
Kentucky, as commissioners to the pro-
posed international monetary conference.
The point involves q construction of the
sixth section of Article of the Constitu-
tion of the United States which reads:
No Senator or Representative shall, during tbs
time for which he was elected, be appointed 10
any civil office under the authority OF the United
States which shall have been created or the
emoluments whereof have been increased dur
ing such time. and no person holding any Office
under the United States shall be q member of
either House during his continuance in Office.
In support of the position that the ap-
pointments of the gentlemen named are In
violation of this article OF the Constitution
reference is made to the fact that Samuel
j. kirkwood, Mr.. Allison's former col
league, was held to be ineligible for the
position of tariff commissioners, to which he
was appointed by President Arthur. be-
cause that position bad been created by an
act of Congress passed during the term for
which he was elected Senator from Iowa,
although previous to tho passage of the
act he had resigned his seat In the senate
and become Secretary of the Interior under
Garfield. The accuracy of this ruling in
Kirkwood's case has been questioned, but
1t has been held that even should it be good
constitutional law, there is marked
difference between a civil Office. dis!
tinctly created within the author
ity of the statutes, and mere au-
thorizatioii In an appropriation bill for the
President to designate five persons without
fixed salaries or confirmation by the Sem
ate, to represent the United States in for
eign conference. All the leading law off,
GERS of the Department of Justice are, at

tion Will probably be brought to their at
tentlon on their return.

1t is Lizzie Borden's side Of the case that
is now attracting the whole attention Of
the police. 1t Is not thought that the pre-
liminary hearing set down for the 22d inst.
will be of long duration. 1t has been tho
policy of District Attorney Knowlton in
handling capital crimes to give as little
evidence as possible until the trial takes
place. Attorney Jennings, who beyond
question believes in the innocence of Mise
Borden, will do every thing in his power to
have full examination at the earliest date.
His work at the time of the arraignment
has done much to change public opinion
concerning the girl; more particularly that
position referring to q fair trial by an i'm
partial Judge. Although Miss Borden 10
under arrest charged with perhaps the
most heinious crime committed here in re.
cent years. there is little talk about the
punishment that should be meted out to
her. She Is finding supporters and friends
in unexpected places The talk is almost
entirely regarding her chances of proving
her innocence. This fact gives the police
authorities reason to think that much of
the strongest evidence will have TO be
given before attorney jennings will con.
sent to an order for holding his client
until November 1t is an open secret IN
police circles that the leading officers of the
State believe that Miss Borden was insane
at the time of the murders, if she commit
ted them. 1t is well known in this city
that Judge Blalsdell and District Attorney
Knowlton were prejudiced in Miss Borden'a
favor. and they must have had the strong
est possible reasons for ordering her ar.
rest. Some evidence relating to the pri-
vate life of Miss Borden. now in the hands
of the police, bear directly on this side of
the case, apd strengthens the opinion of
the high police authorities who have said
that Miss Borden was not conscious of her
deeds If she was implicated.

''The clothing industry of the United
States is simply without a parallel.
There is nothing like it in volume of
product, value of output, variety OF
styles, excellence of workmanship,
beauty o. fashions or in general con-
venience and economy to be found else
where in the world. Including all
classes, the people of the United States
are more uniformly we'll dressed than
those of any other nation. 1t is also
true that they are enabled to array
themselves thus comfortably and taste

quired from the people of any other
nation. Better clothing is sold to-day
for less cost than ever before in the
history of this country"
