VERSER ACQUITTED.
Violated the Law and Is Still Hold
ing His Job.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 80. = The trial
of John Verser, of the Old Do
minion club, indicted for a viola
tion of the civil service law
by soliciting contributions to
campaign fund resulted in the ac-
qulttal of the defendant In charging
the jury, the Judge said the act under
which the indictment was framed is
broad and comprehensive one, but it
might be matter of doubt that con-
gress contemplated such trivial acts as
those charged against Verser coming
under its provisions. Those who
gave money to Verser for political pur-
poses were ameniable to it as well as he.
He considered it singular fact that
the men on trial and the witnesses were
still employees of the government, when
the original act, still in force, provides
that the parties SO offending shall be
dismissed from the service. Under
the circumstances, this looks like
trifing. If he had to deter
mine the constitutionality of the
law, said the judge, he would have
something to say on that point. Justice
Bradley, one of the greatest jurists who
had ever sat upon the United States
supreme bench, had held that it was UNI
constitutional, an abridgement of the
rights of the citizen. The only question
for the jury, however, was whether the
other parties under the indictment had
given to the defendant money to be
used for political purposes, and whether
he had received it.

TUBERCULOUS CATTLE.
Danger From Their Milk and Meat
OveFestinlated,

TRENTON, N. j., Jan. 9O.-Dr. Henry
F. Formal, one of the leading pathol-
ogiStS of this country, has made an ex-
animation of the milk and meat of
tuberculous cattle, at the request of the
state dairy commissioner, and takes
a decided stand in opposition to the pre-
vailing views on the subject. He says
that he is convinced that the dangers
from the use of milk and meat of cattle
affected by tuberculosis are much oyer
drawn. As the doctor says, authorities
differ as to the effect of the
use of milk and meat of cattle
affected by tuberculosis, but the
examinations just made show that the
danger has been greatly overestimated.
Experiments were made on sumo
guinea pigs which were inocculated in
the anterior chamber of the eye with
samples of milk, but after eight weeks
no tubercle bacillf were discovered.
DR.. Formal also made an examination
of the meat of cattle affected with
the disease, but has never been able to-
find any bacc.lii. He thinks the only,
objection to the use of this milk is that
1t is less nourishing than the milk of
the healthy cows. There is little or no
danger of catching the disease from it,

MISS WARDS SLAYER
Found Guilty of Murder, and
Miss johnson Also.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Jan. 50.-The grand
jury this afternoon handed in its decis-
ion in the Ward-MitcheIl murder case.
The result of its deliberation is that
both girls are indicted, and the
charge placed opposite to their
names will read: Murder in the first
degree. There are two counts, one
charging that the accused murdered
Fred, alias Frederick Ward, with a
razor, and the other indicating the
weapon used as an instrument I'M
known to the grand jury"
The object Of presenting two counts
is to guard against the possibility of the
defense showing that the cutting was
done with some instrument other than n
razor. 1t may be stated that the razor
used by Miss Mitchell has not yet been

two young girls at the Jail remains I'M

and nothing new has developed in this
most remarkable and deplorable affair.
The attorneys for Miss Johnson will
make an extraordinary effort to secure
bail, but tonight it was learned that
Miss Mitehell's attorneys will take a
new tack. Public opinion is daily grow
Every woman in Memphis except her
mother and sisters think she should be
hanged, and an afternoon paper went
so far as to advocate editorially today
that she be made to suffer the death
penalty for her crime.
1t was learned today that Misses
Mitchell and johnson had boxes at the
pOstottice, where mail was sent TO Miss
Mitchell, addressed Alvin Mitchell, in
the writing of Freda Ward. Miss
Mitchell has been known to address
Miss Ward as Mistress Freda Mitch
ell. Those who assert that Miss Mitch
ell is not insane strongly advocate
the theory that she killed Freda, Mrs.
Nalkmer'S youngest and favorite sister,
in order to be avenged on that lady, who
separated them and made Freda prom

CANADA IS MOVING.
Canadian Independence Finds
Some Advocates.


TORONTO. Ont, Jan. 3O.-A public
meeting called by the mayor was
held here last night to discuss
Canadian independence. The attend
ance was small and a majority
of those present were strongly
opposed to the views expressed by those
who advocated any change in the rela-
tons existing between Canada and the
motherland. Nevertheless, that such
meeting could be held here is signif-
cant.
Ex-Ald. A. E. Mcdonald addressed
the meeting and said: I'VE have ar
rived at that state of miSgovern-
ment which no change can make
worse. Every one acknowledges that
imperial federation, others commercial
union and others annexation. If the
people want any change they must
bring it about themselves. Some peo-
had SAID that this country was too
moral to unite with the Yankees. |

to endeavor to promote and secure by all
honorable and constitutional means the com
piete and immediate independence Of Can

tives, Dominion. provincial and municipal,
to aid us in this great and benefcent under
taking.
Mr.. Mcdonald was constantly inter-
rupted during the reading OF this reso-
luton. Charles Durand. a lawyer of
this city. made speech in which he
strongly deprecated any such step as
that proposed in the resolution, and
afterwards proposed an amendment

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-The Post to-
morrow will say that the story that Mr..
Blaine was to be summoned before the
house committee on foreign affairs to
tell how it happened that there was so
much alleged delay in informing the
president of the reply TO his ultimatum
is denied by Mr. Blount, chairman of
that committee.
There is not word of truth in it, :"
said Mr.. Blount, NOR was there any
foundation for such a report. do not
for moment believe there was any
connivance in this matter, and | am
sure that when the president sent his
message to congress he did not
know that reply to his note
to Chill had been received,

did not come till Tuesday after the read

O'DonneII the Messenger.
1.-The house committee on foreign af-
fairs was Immediately called after the
reading Of the messageto meet. for con-
sultation the next morning at 1880.
The gravity of the situation demanded
prompt and careful consideration of the
subject. The committee had been in
consultation but few moments
when Mr.. O'Donnell, of Michigan,
member of the committee, who had
been to the White house on business
with the president. entered the COM
mlttee room and called me TO one side
He then gave me message from the
president to the effect that the depart
ment had just that morning re-
celved a long cablegram from Mr..
EgaD, but which had not yet
been dtciphered and its contents were
unknown. Mr.. O'Donnell cautioned
me that the message was for my in
formation only, and not to be impaired
at that time TO the members of the COM
mittee. So, you see, that Immediately
upon the state department and the eX-
ecntive learning that note had been
received from Chilli, the important fact
was at once communicated to the chair

PARDRIDGE is BOLD.
Chicago Traders Amazed at HIS
Methods.

CHICAGO, Jan. 3O.-E. Partridge, the
Speculation who has recently attracted
attention by his great deals i'll wheat,
furnished fresh surprise this afternoon.
Instead of endeavoring to protect the
vast quantities which ne was believed
to have sold during the dav he increased
his liabilities and electrified the trade
at large by selling ''calls" on 1900. 600
bushels more. 1t was the boldest bit of
speculation the board has probably ever
seen. Hutchinson in his palmiest days
never made single play of such stu
pendous proportions.
HutchinsOn'S sale of 100000 bushels
of wheat in one lump to Leopold Bloom
was up to that time the largest individ-
ual trade made and it certainly has not
until today been distanced. Partridge
sold ''eallS' on 100000 bushels of
wheat in one lump and followed this
up by sales of 100000 more
The fact that the Jumps were sold
less than one cent away from the actual
market, and THAT they are good for all
day Monday makes the fact all the more
daring. 1t is estimated that Partrdge's
winnings i'll wheat and corn during the
last three months have reached 81, 300
600, and possibly much more. A mod
crate estimate of his present short line
is 100000 bushels.

New YORK, Jan. 30.-About a quar-
ter past l this afternoon, jacob Som
born went TO 81 Broad street, and asked
TO see his relative, Julius Somborn.
The latter was in the outside office
when Jacob approached him and
demanded sum of money. Mr.. Som
born refused TO give him any and his
relative shouted: Il will kill you if
you don't" With these words, he
whipped out revolver, and without
saying more, fired at Somborn. The
bullet struck him in the right side,
grazed the skin, and dropped through
his trCuser leg on the floor. Jacob fired
three more shots at him, none of which
took effect. The would-be murderer
then put the muzzle of the revolver to
his head and fired twice. The bullets
entered his brain and he fell dead.
