WASHINGTON, Get. 10. Arguments
were closed to-day in the District Supreme
Court on the demurrer Of Mccartney and
Chairman to the indictments against them
for refusal TO answer questions of the Sem
ate Sugar Trust investigating committee.
Assistant Attorney-general Conrad, for the
government attacked the defense's claim of
freedom from inquisition. saying: when
a bankers books are made the repository
OF evidence Of crime. the production of
these books does NOT constitute invasion OF
private matters. 1t must be remembered
that these witnesses did not claim exemp-
ton on grounds Of personal danger to
them"
Jere Wilson, for the defense, laid special
stress on the plea that the resolution did
not show op it's face that 1t was the pur-
pose Of the Senate to take action on the
results OF the committees Investigations.
Mr. Wilson maintained that the buying and

Judge Gildersleeve Dampens the Ard0r

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-Judge Gildersleeve.
of the Superior Court, to-day announced
that he would no longer give counsel fees
or alimony in separation suits brought by
women against husbands. He said they
should bring such actions in the police
courts. He also said that Judge McAdam
had taken the same position In such cases.
Judge Gildersleeve made the announcement
in an action which Josephine Devere
brought against the comedian. Samuel De-
we're, for a separation on the ground of
abandonment. She says she married De-
we're In 1852, and that he Immediately went
to the war. She was but fifteen years of
age and he was seventeen years. He re-
turned from the war year later and they
lived together a week. He went back to
fight, since which time they have not lived
together. He has since married twice, ard
denies that he married the plaintiff. She
moved for counsel fees and alimony in the
action, but was referred to the police
courts by Judge Gildersleeve.

not contain upon its face any purpose to
do anything in the future and sustaining

cases and concluded by declaring that IL
the citizen was not protected against such

GOVERNMENT DEFAULTER.
Ex-Receiver of Public Moneys Short
$4,000 i'm His Accounts.

MARQUETTE, Mich, Oct. 15.-The ac-
counts of Thomas D. Mead, ex-receiver of
the United States land office here, have
been found short, and his bondsmen have
been notified. So far the shortage is Sc, coo,
but as new claims appear at intervals 1t is
impossible, without an investigation, to tell
the total shortage. The money was paid in
during Mead's incumbency by homestead
ers. and was not turned over to the gov
ernment or afterwards accounted for, con-
sequently homesteaders were unable to get
their receipts or patents and could not re-
alize returns years of privation and toll
spent in perfecting their rights to home

tention to the matter. Should his bonus-
men make the defalcation good no criminal
proceedings against Mead are likely TO be

Civilians for Indian Agents.

WASHINGTON, Oct 1.-THE War De-
partment having become satisfied that the
policy of charging army officers with the
duties of Indian agents has worked to the
detriment of the service, is relieving the
officers already detailed for this work as
fast as the Indian bureau is able to furnish
civilian agents to all the places. The OBJ
jections TO the plan are: First. that it tends

Four Rounds.

CONEY ISLAND, N. Y. Oct. 15.-In less
than four rounds tonight Joe Walcott, of
Boston, Tom O'Rourke's colored wonder,
succeeded in stopping Austin Gibbons, the
Paterson light weight, and at the same
time pushed himself right to the front of
his own class. The fight was at 140 pounds,
ten rounds, but the pace was too fast for
the Jersey man, and he was practically out

lad two rounds to size Gibbons up and then
he went for him furiously. and, although
the latter showed no lack of aggressiveness

much for him and he was carried to his
corner before the conclusion Of the fourth
round, very badly punished. Though Glib

fully a score of uniformed policemen were

ing TO their presence that the bouts were
awarded before a complete Knockout had
been given, although the decisions of ref

Gold Going Abroad Again.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.- United States
Treasurer Morgan to-day received a tele-
gram from Assistant Treasurer Jordan, at
New York, stating that 100000 in gold had
been withdrawn from the subtreasury for
export. This is the first withdrawal of
any Importance that has been since Aug
last and this news has had a disqi;eting
effect among treasury officials. 1t was not,
however, wholly unexpected. During the
first week in August the gold reserve had
been reduced to a little below $50 0c0, ,000
At that time the export season had run fits

from Felix Reeve, the Solicitor of the Treas

contract for the Harrison telephones for
use in the National Museum, he having re-
ceved formal notice from the Bell Tele-
phone Company that the Harrison tele-
phone is an infringement of the formers

to make the contract, but advises that an
indemnity bond be taken from the Harrison
company to secure the United States from
any damages that hereafter might be re-
covered by the Bell company. Hitherto the
institution has paid the Bell company $50
Struments outright for $50 each.

Users of Alcohol Worried.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-Another compli-
cation has arisen regarding the free alcohol
section Of the new tariff law. Secretary
Carlisle, owing to the failure OF Congress
to make the necessary appropriation, is un-
able to put the law into effect Notwith-
standing the Secretary's decision, it is con-
tended that alcohol used in the arts, etc.,
has been free since Aug. 2S. Users of
alcohol in medicine and the arts want to
know whether they are violating the law
in removing revenue stamps from the empty
barrels. If they do not they will have no
evidence upon which to base claims against
the government for the return of duty paid
since the law went into effect. On the
other hand. as the law now stands, they are
liable to heavy penalties for not destroy
ing the stamps when the barrels are

I1llman Wants to Seize Liquors I'm

WASHINGTON. Oct. 15.-Governor Till
man. or South Carolina. was at the Treas
ury Department to-day and had an inter-
view with Commissioner Miller Of the In
ternal Revenue Bureau in regard to a ques-
ton on which there seems to be a con-
hict between federal and State authority.
Under the dispensary laws of the State
or South Carolina, distilled spirits in the
custody of the United States In bonded
warehouses belonging to parties who have
violated the provisions of the dispensary
law by selling them within the State ARE
declared to be nuisance, and on convic-
ton the State officers are authorized TO
seize and confiscate the liquor. In all such
cases the Governor proposes to tender the
TAX due to the government and seize the
spirits, contending that the federal author
ltles nave no right to interfere in the mat
ter. Commissioner Miller took issue with
the Governor and cited several decisions
or the courts, among them one by the Su-
Dreme Court OF the United States, wherein
IL was held that goods in bonded ware
house were not subject to any process or
proceeding issuing from a State court and
that so long as the government retained
control of the goods its jurisdiction and
authority was supreme. No final decision.

that In difference TO the wishes OF Governor
