Her MasterfuI Display OF Intellectual Re-
sources In Her Cross Examination.
WASHINGTON, March 21.-Madeline
Pollard faced her opponents on the wit
ness stand Monday under continuous
fire of cross questions and the trial was
like play in which an actress is starred
to the exclusion and belittlement of all
accessories.
Major Ben ButterwoIEA, the ex-cong-
ressman from Ohio, playaf minor part
as the questioner, all the interest center
ing about the slender, blackrobed plain
tiff in the case. 1t was the most inter
esting day of the sensational trial and it
was made more SO by a masterful dis
play of intellectual resources, of quick
perception and of telling replies which
flashed forth at every turn of the plot, as
the lawyers followed up every possible
trail which might lead to admissions
casting any sort of shadow on the life of
the woman, apart from those passages of
which had been identified with the
career of the Kentucky congressman.
Miss Pollard has shown herself to be a
wonderful woman. Different opinions
may be held of her by the men, most of

the community, who sat listening all day
as though to the revelation of fasci-
mating story rather than woman's re-
cital of sorrow and disgrace; all of them
were constrained to admit their admira-
ton of her intelligence, her quick per
ception and her effective command of
words. Seldom does witness manage
to give replies so telling in support of her
own case and keep within the limits of
the courtroom regulations, and several
times the PLAINTIFFS attorneys admonished
her to confne her statements to answers
to the questions which were put.

either scattered out of reach or entirely
destroyed and they have no shelter from
the downpour of rain which is still fall

reported that Hilland, in Belle county,

KANSAS CITY, Kan, March iS.-Dem-
ocrats are considering the ACCESSIBILITY of
testing the woman suffrage question. An
effort will be made TO nominate Mrs.
James Scarf for the board of education.
AS the candidates for the board of educl-
ton are voted for by the city at large, it
is claimed that the nomination of Mrs.
Scarf will show how many women In

right of ballot now enjoyed by men.

form, Kossuth founded paper in which
governmental affairs were fearlessly dis
cussed. The authorities took alarm and
tried in vain to stop the spread of liberal
ideas. Kossuth was threatened and his
paper suppressed, but he found means to
keep the people informed of national af-
fairs, and in 1881 he was imprisoned for
the publication of photographic news
paper.
Imprisonment Increased His Popularity.
His imprisonment, which lasted about
two years, increased his popularity, and
when he was released he continued his
work for Hungarian freedom. Year 10y
year, despite numerous attempts at CO.
ercion, Kossuth's influence spread. In
1848 the French revolution, the great
stimulus of radical doctrines, spurred
Kossuth on to broader objects. He de-
manded independent government for his
country and constitutional government
in the hereditary territories of Austria.
It was his burning eloquence more than
anything else that started the revolution
and instruction in Vienna. The minis
try was dissolved in September, 1948,
and Kossuth was placed at the head of
the committee of national defense.
Events followed thick and fast after this.
At DebrecZin in April, 1849, the indie
pendence of Hungary was declared and
Kossuth made provisional governor.
Then came difficulties and discussions in
the ranks of patriots. Russia threw her.
self into the Austrian cause, and to end
the jealousy of Gorgei, his political rival
in the great struggle, Kossuth resigned
the dictatorship. The patriots were de
feated in August, 1849, and Kossuth fled
into Turkey, where he was held pris-
Oner.
Despite the pressure of Russia and
Austria the sultan refused to surrender
the patriot, who through the interven-
ton of England and the United States
was allowed to leave Turkey.
In December, 1851, accompanied by
his wife, he was conveyed to the United
States as the nations guest by the war
ship Mississippi, which had been dis
patched for that purpose. What fol
lowed is well known. Kossuth was re-
ceived everywhere with the greatest en-
thusiasm. He became the friend OF
Daniel Webster and other great states
men of the time. He addressed meet
ings in large cities in advocacy of the
claim of Hungary to independence. His
eloquence was regarded as marvellous,
but the coup d'etat of Napoleon Ill
struck fatal blow to his agitation, and
in spite of popular sympathy his mission
fell fat.
Kossuth returned to Europe in July,
1852, and joined hands with Mazzim and
| Ledro-RoIlin. He delivered lectures in
Great Britain on history and European
| politics, and became as popular there as
he was In the United States In 1859 he
proposed a plan of attack ON Austria tc
Louis Napolean, but the peace of Villa
franco prevented its contamination. The
Hungarian legion dissolved, and Kossutt
returned to England bitterly disappoint
ed. He removed to Turin (where he
/ died. in 1852.
Kossuth always entertained warn
affection for the United States, which af
forded him asylum and substantial en-
enlargement In time Of need. At hi.
humble home IN Turin ne was always
| glad to receive Americans.

The Great Hungarian Patriot Passes
Away at Turin
HIS PATRIOTISM NEVER OUENCHED
The Guest of the United states in 1851, He
Became the Friend of Daniel Web
ster-His Career.

TURIN, March 21.-At a ripe old age
Louis Kossuth, the great Hungarian
patriot, passed away. His end was ex-
tremely painful. He showed signs of
consciousness until the last. He expired
in the arms of his son and died pressing
the hand OF the Hungarian deputy,
Karolyi. The members of his family
and few of his intimate friends stood
around the bedside of the expiring
patriot. Nothing has yet been settled in
regard to the details of the funeral. The
municipal authorities of this city have
offered the family to allow the remains
to be buried in the Pantheon here.
Sketch of His Life.
Lajos (Louis) Kossuth was born at
Monok, Hungary, April 81, 1906. His
parents were poor, but of noble rank.
He was educated at the Protestant col
lege of Sarospatak. In 1880 he became
agent for the Countess Szapary, a posi-
ton which gave him seat in the comital
assembly. Two years later, when the
people of Hungary were groaning under
the restrictions on their rights and priv
ileges, his active political career began
in the diet of Presburg. Knowing the

VANDERBILTs IN GOULD TERRITORY
Most Gigantic Consolidation of Railroad

Most Gigantic Consolidation Of Railroad
Interests Within the Past Decade.
ST. LOUIS, March 21.-It is learned
here from high railroad source that one
of the most gigantic consultations of
railroad interests within the past decade
is on the taps. 1t is nothing smaller
than the invasion of Gould territory by
the Vanderbilts and the Standard Oil
people, who now control the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas railway. In brief,
the scheme, as now pending, is the union
of the Chesapeake and Ohio, Wander
bilt property, running from New York
via Washington and Baltimore to Gin
cinnati, with the ''Big Four" line, an
other Vanderbilt property, which will
be used to St. Louis, and from St. Louis
to Galveston, Tex, the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas, a Standard Oil property.
This would give the Vanderbilts line
direct from Galveston, Tex, through to
New York. President Rouse, OF the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas; Mr.. Rookie
Teller, wealthy Standard Oil magnate,
and representatives of the Vanderbilt
interests are en- route here, and during
their stay the arrangement is expected to

TO RESTORE RATES
The Southern Pacific Boycott on the
AtchInson Withdrawn.
UNION PACIFIC WAGE CONFERENCE
The VanderbiIts Invading the Gould Ter
ritOry-Greatest Railroad COnsOlida-
ton Within the Past.

CHICAGO. March 2l-The Southern
Pacific has withdrawn its boycott of the
Atchison and has notified all its agents
to accept tickets over the Atchison for
San Francisco through Los Angeles and
via Barstow. All other California rates
and conditions are to be, March 81, re-
stored to the basis iN'effect prior to March
1, pending a conference between Mr..
Reinhart, of the Atchison, and President
Huntington, of the Southern Pacific.
This conference will be held either in
New York or San Francisco. The South
ern Pacific will abandon all side trips
from San Francisco to Los Angeles pend
ing the conference, at which, unless all
signs fail, the differences between the
two lines will be finally adjusted. The
prospect for the restoration of rates east
of the Missouri river is not 80 rosy. A
meeting of the Western Passenger asso-
citation has been called to consider them
and Passenger Traffic Manager White,
of the Atchison, has been especially in
vited to come and talk about elevating
the rate. The $40 rate from Chicago to
the Missouri river will, however, con-
tinue in effect for some time, both as a
selling and basing rate. The same is
true of the rates from st. Louis to the
Missouri river.
