Ross McKane's Trial.

NEW YORK, Dec. THE trial of
John z. McKane, of Gravesend, for
contempt of court was continued today.
Ferdinand j. Bennett. reporter for
the World, submitted an affidavit say
ing that while in company with Hamil-
ton Ormsbee. a reporter for the Brook
Ign Eagle, early on election day at
Gravesend, Chief Mckane told him that
Col. Bacon had attempted to make a
speech when serving the papers Oh him
(McKone). and that if he (CoI. Bacon)
had been more sly he could have served
the injunction. The reading of this
affidavit created a sensation, as it con-

"WORKING THE BOXES. .
THOSE SINFUL SIRENS At The CA
SW0 RREpRESSiBLE.
THEY DrsoBEx THE POLICE
And Continue to Come in Front of
the Stage and Drink Beer in
the Boxes With Their Male
COMPREHENSIVE Purple
Complains to the Chief of Po-
lice,

A few days ago the chief Of police
issued an order that the young women
who sing and dance for the deIectation
of the patrons of the Casino and
Comique should remain behind the
footlights until after the show was
over. The actresses had up to that time
made business of frequenting the boxes
to work the gentlemen for beer and
other inspiring beverages. They did
not change their abbreviated stage cos
tunes nor rub the brilliant rouge and
carmine from their faces, when they
came sin front" to talk to 1.-THE fellers."
They simply sat themselves down close
beside their masculine friends and SOL
lled'' them into ordering bottle of beer
every five minutes.
This sort of thing has been going on
In Minneapolis in one resort or another
for several years, but never so openly
as during the past few months 1t
would, doubtless, have been permitted
TO continue had not some of the alder
men vlsltedthese places two weeks ago.
Inc aldermanic delegation was not
made up of super-sensitive McAliister-
ties, who are shocked at tile exhibition
OF an undraped statue and sicken with
pious horror when they hear a cuss
word. No, these aldermen were a
sporty" crowd out for little recreation
after listening to Aid. Lackey's learned
dlSqulSition on hOSe-tire hose. But
what theysaw at the Casino and Com
lque quite o'ercame them. The sight of
the painted sirens lolling around the
male occupants of the boxes quite dis
gusted them. Moreover. the girls were
unpardonably homely. they said, and
that made it all the worse. So they re-
ported the matter to the chief OF police,
and that official gave orders that the
girls should not frequent the boxes at
all, and should remain back on the
stage.
A visit to the Casino last night re-
vealed the interesting fact that the or
der of the police department is not
obeyed. The bediZened serio-comics.
with their fluffy hair and harsh
voices, low-necked dresses aud
daubed faces, were in the
boxes making it pleasant for
their intellectual male companions.
1t is true all of the boxes were not o.
cupied, out at least six of them were.
The newspaper men are not the only
ones who have discovered this violation
of the order. Attorney Charles w. Pur-
pie-he of crusader fame = has also
found it out, which explains his confer
ence with Chief Smith yesterday after
noon. Mr.. Purple was asked why he
had called upon the chief, but he de-
clined TO answer. The two were closeted
together for some time, and it is pr6ba-
BILE that the girls at the Casino will find
a large and lucrative part Of their occu7
patton gone indeed this time.

HIS ACCOUNT SHORT.
Cashier of a Defunct Bank Found
Guilty OF Overdrawing.


NASHVILLE, Tenn, Dec. frank
Porterfield, cashier of the defunct Com
mercial National bank, this city, was
found guilty late this afternoon in the
United States circuit court by
a jury, in ten cases, for hav-
ing the bank pay his over
checks and oyerdrafts, and for having
used the funds of the bank to his own
individual uses, his account being over
drawn. Judge Sage adhered to the rul-
ings in the "Taintor" case. and would
not permit the defense 10 introduce
evidence to show that POrterfeld could
have made good his account had the
bank not failed, or as to his intent.
Under the directions of the judge the
jury returned verdict of guilty in ten
cases, and not guilty in two. Motion
for new trial and arrest of Judgment
will be argued tomorrow.

STOCKHOLDERS MUST PAY
The Debts of the Minneapolis Bur
iaI Case Company.


Judge Russell, of the district court.
has decided that the stockholders of
the Minneapolis Burial Case company
are individually liable for the debts of
the concern. The test case was brought
by the st. Louis Lumber company in
behalf of itself aud score or more of
claimants. The claims amounting In
all to about $4,000. Among the stock
holders held liable in sums ranging
from $500 to $1,000 are George A. Pills
bury, $1,000; s. E. Olson, $500; Kristian
Kortzgard, S1,5O0; Matthew Walsh,
$3.50; Arson N. Wheeler, $500; Al
gate Anderson, $1,000; John Norton,
$1,000; and estate of John w. Anderson,
81, 500.
Judge Russell holds that the stock
holders come under the double liability
act, because the Minneapolis Burial
Case company was not exclusively q
manufacturing concern, as shown by
the articles of Incorporation, which
provides that besides manufacturing fu-
neral supplies, etc., the firm could also
'buy and sell the same" The defense
claimed that the word ''buy" was in

HIS RESIGNATION FINAL.
Mr.. Loring Will Not Reconsider
His Action.

G. M. Loring, who resigned from the

terday if his resignation was final, in
view of the report that an effort would
be made to induce him to remain on the
board Mr.. Lorlng said that it was,
and that no arguments could persuade
him TO reconsider his action.

HIS PAROLE EXPIRED.
And Mr.. Lunn Has Gone Right
Back to Saltwater.

Back to Saltwater.
Louis Lunn, who was arrested
Wednesday for swindling cash deposits
out of men whom he employed to col
lect bogus accounts. turns out to be a
Jail bird. Lunn was released On parole
from his cage at Saltwater two or three
months ago. He had served one year of
a two-year sentence, and was paroled
because of good behavior, in accordance
with the rules of the reformatory de-
partment of Saltwater prison.
He was taken to the county jail yes
terday afternoon, and two hours later a
deputy warden from Saltwater arrived,
and took Mr.. Lunn back to Saltwater,
where he will remain one more year,
anyway. Lunn's scheme was to fill out a
lot of blank bills with fictitious names
and accounts, and then advertise for
men to collect the bills. When the men
applied to him for the job, Lunn would
exact deposit from them as security
for what they would collect. Fifty dol
lars was the usual deposit required by
Mr.. Lunn.

had never seen wife's devotion to her
husband surpassed by that Of Mrs.

pears to be the accusation of crank,
who charges CLAIM Agent Stout, of the
street railway company, with
assault. The complainant is Scandi-
