The commissio0er says that many
disreputable and incompetent men are

suggests that none but reputable men
b allowed to practice in pension cases.
Dishonest attorneys have given much

Seattle. Nov. 3.-The old rsosivers
Of the Northern Pacific railroad ap-
peared before Judge Hanford in Tie
United States circuit court for the dis.
trict Of Warrington this morning By
their attorneys, J. d. Crowley, Of To.
coma. and Adrian II. Joline, counsel
for the Central Trust Company, Of
New York. and presented their answer
TO the court Of October ., requiring
them 70 appear and show cause Why
they should mot b punished for con-
tempt Of court for their failure 10 obey
. previous order Of the court which
required them to make . report to him
Of their stewardship - receivers Of the
property.
Their answer was v0luminous one.
going fully into their appointmsut a.
receivers. their recognition Of the cir.
cult court Of the eastern district Of
Wisconsin - the court Of primary jur-
isdiction. TO which court their reports
had been made. and the fling Of their
rengnations - reneivera They dis
claimed any intention Of not respecting
the order Of this court. and asked that
tho order removing them - receivers
be revoked. and that in lieu thereof
their reEignations be accepted.
Judge Hanford did not grant their
petition. but referred the whole matter
70 Master in Chanoefy Eben Smith, Of
this city. for examination and report,
who il authorized to require the pro-
duction Of the vouchers for expenji-
lures made BY the old receivers, and to
hear any objections that any parties in
terested may So ht 10 make, OF to no
quire any explanation which may be
necessary in order that proper audit
ing Of the accounts may be had.
Judge Hanford said that IL the re-
ports were on file in any other court
he would not interfere with the pro-
ceedings and records Of that court %
as to require the production of the or.
iginal vouchers. but they must be sub
mitted to the master in chancery in
this court. either by copies or BY al
lowing him to 60 where the reports are
on file.
In announcing his disposition of the
case Judge Hanford said that the an
swer filed seemed to relieve the receiv-
ers from any imputation of any inten-
tional defiance Of the court, and he
was not disposed to view the matter in
captions spirit, or with any inclina-
ton to be unnecessarily severe with

their client and his cause. They will

TRAGEDIES OF A KEY.
Harmless In Appearance. 1t Was Sevsrths-,
less an Instrument Of Death.


less an Instrument of Death
At the arsenal at Venice is kept on
exhibition an instrument resembling a
large KEY, which is complicated and
artful invention for purposes of assas-
siuation, and is known as the key OF
death. There is a romance and several
tragedies connected with its history,
il being the invention of a revengeful
and Jealous nature, that of a stranger
named Tibaldo. who established him
self as a merchant in Venice in the
year 1900. There he met the daughter
of distinguished Venetian family,
and at once fell desperately in love
with her. But the young lady was al
ready betrothed; her heart was given
where her hand was promised, and she
rejected the ardent suitor's proposal
that she should leave her lover and fly
with him.
Then the demon of jealousy took pos
session of Tibaldo. He began to plan
a method of revenge that should be as
subtle as IL was deadly. He invented
a KEY which was not used In any lock
but TO turn a spring concealed in its
mechanism by which a needle OF ex-
quisite fineness was shot into any OBJ
jecs against which 10 was directed.
This needle was poisoned. When the
beautiful girl who was the cause OF
Tibaldo's unholy passion came forth
from the church with her bridegroom
she met her disappointed sutton and
saw ner husband fall dead at his feet
There was nothing 10 connect Tibaido
with the crime, but when the parents
of the young widow both died in the
same sudden and mysterious way she
fed appalled, to a convent for protec-
tion. There Tibaldo sought her, and,
being refused audience with the object
of his pursuit. stabbed her through the
gate of the convent with the fatal
needle.
A skillful surgeon saved her life By
her own direction, extracting the needle
before the poison had time 20 WORK.
Tibaldo was executed for his crimes,
and the key of death is exhibited ia
