A COURT HOUSE

Fraud Unearthed at Fort Worth.
FORT WORTH, Texas, Dec. IS
Especial. "A sensation has been
created here by T. A. Altman, a
member of the bar, that an in
ferior quality of granite is be-
ing used in the construction
of our Tarrant county courthouse.
The Daily Mail published Altman's
charges, and as a result Altman
was today called before the coun-
ty commissioners, to tell what
he know about the matter.
He claims that the granite was of
the same class that was condemned
by the government in the jetty
building at Galveston, and that it
is not capital granite, as contract
ed for.
The investigation is being held
with closed doors, fact that it
creates much unfavorable COM
ment.

Culberson Favors Repeal.

WASHINGTON,D Dec. lS.-Reprcsen-
tative CulbersOn, OfTeX., member Of
the House committee on Bank
ing and Currency, is in favor of the
bill to repeal Internationally the
ten per cent. tax on state banks.
1t has been intimated that such
bill will be reported without any
recommendation by the committee
and without any report as to the
advisability of the House passing
upon it. In this case there would
probably be several minority re-
ports, one against the bill, an
other for its repeal, with
restrictions by the government,
control and another for repeal I'M
conditionally. Culberson favors
the latter plan. eff the bill is re-
ported in any FORM" he said, sit
is my judgment that it will be for
unconditional repeal" The prop
osition to have the national comp
troller of currency supervise the
bank issues, is only another
method of charging the national
banks. There is no particular
difference whether notes are issued
on one kind of security or another
or by institutions chartered by
the states. If some governmental
control and regulation is exercised
over them as over the National
banks, if the the states are to
have power to charter banks they
should have power to control
themD

the purpose which he has in view
is to become a candidate for gov
ernor on the Republican ticket
next year. The politicians will
launch his boom in short time.
AS Nebraska has never had gov
ernor from the western part of the
state, and as Cody is very popular,
his candidacy will be strong, and
probably successful.

of the Navy Tracy has returned
from abroad, and has been secured
as associated counsel with Ed. M
Shepard for the purpose OF
prosecuting McKane for al
legged violations in the cleo
ton laws. Gen. Tracy was asked
what the impression in London
seemed to be regarding the Ha-
waian situation. "The most
noticeable feature Of the matter lies
in the fact that they are keeping
very quiet about it in London" he
replied. "And how do they like
the Wilson tariff bill?" "They
seem to be very much pleased
with it." said Mr.. Tracy.

Election Frauds.

BROOKLYN, Dec. 1S.-Brooklyn's
great election trials are to be
taken up today before q special
judge, special district attorneys,
and an extraordinary Grand jury.
The whole country rang with the
outrage committed at Gravesend
on election day, and since then the
appeal of the people for a most
stringent investigation has been
responded to by Governor Flower,
who ordered Judge Cullen to sit in
special session, and by the local au-
thorities, who named eX-Secretary
of the Navy Tracy and Edward M.
Shepard to act as special prosecu-
tors. The King of Coney Island,
John Y. McKane, is the man the
authorities are after. Much CAPT.
tai was made, to the disadvantage
of the Democrats, out of the out
rageous conduct of this district
boss. This fellow, boldly defying
the laws and courts, undertook to
supervise and control the elections
in his district wholly on his
account. Backed by cohorts
of thugs and murderers, he COM
mitted such acts of braZen outlaw
ry that the only wonder is that
some officers of the law did not
shoot him down in his tracks. A
more wanton exhibition Of high
handed violence has never been
witnessed on the American CONT
nent. Colonel Baker, counsel
for the Kings county Re-
publican committee, who went
down into McKane's domain, at
tended by a score Of adherents, to
oversee the elections, was assault
ed and knocked down twice while
attempting to serve a Supreme
Court order.
The effort of honest citizens had
been directed to discovering how
it was that in an enumeration Of
5000 there should be a registration
of 5000. Many thousands have
been subscribed for this prosecu-
ton, and it will be memorable in
the political annals of the country.

Chicago's New Mayor.

CHICAGO, Dec. lS.-Chicago votes
for mayor today, and the contest
between the two candidates, which
has been short but bitter, will end
with the casting of the last ballots
tonight. John p. Hopkins, the
Democratic candidate, is young
man, and has been only thirteen
years a resident of Chicago. He
was born in Buffalo, n. Y, Octo-
Der 20, 1858, in the old Eighth
ward, Cleveland and Bissell's ward.
He was educated in the schools
of Buffalo, but is not a col
legiate. Like his opponent in the
coming election, he is classed as a
business man. He resides at Ken
sington, near the southern limits
Of the city. His first work in
Buffalo was in foundry. Then
he got employment in the Evans
elevators, where he was soon pro-
NOTED to his first position of re-
sponsibility, that of weighmaster,
which he held until he removed
to Chicago in 1879.
Here he began his career snoring
lumber in the yards at Pullman.
He advanced in the Pullman Com
pany's service to store timekeeper,
general timekeeper and paymaster.
The latter position he held from
1883 to 1888, when he became sec
rotary and treasurer Of the Arcade
Trading Company of Pullman.
In 1889 the company reOrganiZed
as the SecOrd-Hopkins Com
pany, and, moving from Pull
man to Kensington, established
the largest general store south of
Twenty-second street. AS early as
1883 Mr.. Hopkins took an interest
in the politics Of Hyde Park, not
then annexed. In 1884 he was
elected treasurer of the village.
Three years later he aspired to the
position of delegate from his dis
trict to the Democratic National
Convention, being defeated by
A. w. Green after con-
test which won the admira-
ton of local Democratic leaders,
who FASTENED to make friend of
the young man. Since that time
he has been influential in Demo-
cratic counsels, and has figured on
important committees. Last year
he was chairman Of the local Cam
paign committee. He is the presi-
dent of the County Democracy and
a member of the IroquOis club, the
"silk stocking Democratic organi-
Zation."
George b. Swift, the Republican
nominee for mayor, was born in
Cincinnati in 1915. His father, a
house and sign painter, moved
from there to Galena, Ill, when
George was eighteen months old.
When fifteen years old his family
moved to Chicago. Here he at
tended the Skinner school, and
subsequently the Chicago Univer-
sity for one term.
Twenty-Five years ago he mar
ried Lucy l.. Brown, daughter of
Joseph Brown, banker. He lives
on LOOMS street, on the west side,
and his family circle includes three
sons and four daughters. Begin
ming his business career as a drug
clerk, he branched into the axle
grease business, from which he
has acquired q comfortable fortune.
He is not, however, wealthy.

secure the moose in question, not +. X.
Delano and Mr.. Dclano accompanied
Mr.. Clifford in the chase.
What was about to remark. however,
and for which this was only II forerun-

before Il case when law of the State
was set aside deliberately and by the
same power that made it for special
case until the last Legislature abrogated
the game law for the express purpose of
allowing Mr.. +. h. Dclano of SkoWhe-
gan to go into the woods to shoot "A
COW moose and Il calf especially to have
them mounted for the State exhibit at
the great fair. 1t WIS done, however.
and Mr.. Delano shot the animals and
packed their carcasScs out to SkoWhc-
gan, where they are now in process of
mounting. Mr.. Dcano adds that he SAW
several other moose on his trip. but as
he had fulfilled his mission he let them
alone, Mr.. Dclano is to be commented
rs much for his scli-Control as for his
skill rs IL marksmam. There are people
who being sent to the woods to get II
gray squirrel tor dinner. come back
with all manner of game. but nothing
lit to eat, giving rs an excuse that this
or that animal started up Just in front
