THE Times" Is Right.

Editor Times: As gas consumer, per-
nit me to thank you for your noble fight
with the great gas monopoly having head
quarters on Tenth street and hndquarters
in the Capitol, and also express the wish
that you VIII continue the struggle until
success crowns your efforts, and dollar gas,
or less, is reality instead of vision of
the future. Your editorial in this morn
hg's Times on the gas question is to the
point, and your suggestion that cheap gas
associations be formed throughout the city
should be carried out. Would it not be wei |
to publish a list of the stockholders of the
gas company, with the number of shares
held by each, so that the consumers and
public may know what Senators and other
prominent men who have defeated the dollar
gas bill are stockholders, and who legislate
for their own pockets instead of for the
peoples interests. The plea of the gas
company that they cannot reduce the price
OF gas to 81 and pay expenses, on account
of the expense attending the laying of new
mains, goes to show that consumers are
expected to and do pay the expense Of all
extensions, to enable the company to paw
dividends of . per cent and also aocumu-
late yearly surplus equal to the cost of
the extensions. Turn ON the search light
Mr.. Editor. You have the people at your
back, right and justice on your side, and
with the hattle-cry dollar gas or a new
gas company" you will win the fight.

A Peculiar Verdict.

Editor Times: Capt. Howgate acquitted;
and the rights of any unfortunate, who may
be found on our streets destitute, infringed
by sentence to the stone pile.
A sad commentary this; and the wonder
of it all is that there is any respect for the
law. Inthe firstease, men can be foundhigh
in the practice of that profession who will
sink all sense of Justice for the sake of the fee
involved. While in the other there is never
a voice raised in our courts against the shame
and cruel injustice of such a sentence.
Assuredly we are fast learning that La ws
are to be Interpreted in the interest of the
rich and powerful; and that steal carrying
with it dollars by the thousands and millions
of the people IS money is as naught whencom-
pared with the crime (?i OF being without
visible means of support.
II, as Emers on said, 1.-The true test ofciyi-
lization is not the size of cities, not The
crops. but the kind OF men the country urns
out it might be well to4ask ourselves the
question, How would these United states

Harry Hayward Tries TO Throw
All Guilt Upon Adry.
SHOCKED BY HIS DEPRAVITY
After Painting Him as Monster in Human
Guise He Admitted Having Asked Their
Father to Take Him Back in Business
Some Damaging Statements on Cross
examination-G Gambling Since Seventeen.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Feb. 25.-It was
somewhat of surprise TO Mr. Nye when Mr..
Erwin turned the prisoner in the Hayward
Cling murder trial over short time before
court adjourned. He had expected that the
examination would take at least the day,
and was hardly prepared to go into the ex-
animation. He therefore contented him.
self with going over some minor matters that
he might begin in earnest tomorrow morn
ing
The day was an extremely interesting
one, being filled with the troubles between
the witness and his brother. Adry he said,
had proposed all the bloody details OF the
murder Harry explained that he had been
So shocked at his brothers depravity that
he had resolved to sound many other people
to see if they had such wonderful con-
sciences. Thus il was that he had ques-
toned Waterman and the hackmanand even
L. nj. Stewart, and he dared the State to put
Stewart on the stand.
ADRY WAS THE FIEND.
Instead of having threatened to kill his
brother with knife, Adry, he said, had
threatened to rip his entrails out; had
threatened to kill his father, and had often
stated that he was so devoid of conscience
that he could kill his father easily and notbe
troubled about it afterward. All through
his evidence it was Adry who had been the
fiend, Adry who was the slaughterer, Adry
who had mania for killing people, Adry
who was the member of a gang, Adry who
was everything, and yet with all this he went
on to tell how he confided all his business
to Adry and begged his father to take him
back in his employ.
Not much more OF interest developed
during the remainder OF the direct eXamina,
ton, and Mr Erwin turned the witness
over to the State late in the afternoon. Mr.
Nye, in cross-eXamination, made Harry
admit that he had been a gambler by habit
for years, in fact, since he was seventeen
years OF age.
SOME CONTRADICTIONS.
Then he went over his relations with
Miss Cling, and had Harry repeath wander
ings the night of the murder. He got
along very well except TO say my flat
twice in places where he had said on
direct examination that he went into his
mothers flat. Mr.. Erwin intcrru pied
and corrected him. In speaking of where
| he went after leaving the flat, witness said
/ he went directly up Hennepin to Laurel
| avenue.
On direct examination he had said that he
went down Henepin-first, intending TO look
for Miss Cling at her place of business
Harry showed on a map where he had
! gone until he reached Mr.. Bartleson's resi-
/ dence. The States attorney kept asking
all sorts OF questions, evidently with a
! view tolaying the foundation for impeach
ment of the direct testimony. 1t is under

ANNIE NoRTHcUTT's MONEY.
Evidence That on Her Deathbed She De
MED Ever Having Had u Son.

Evidence That on Her Deathbed She De-
MED Ever Having Had Son.
Evidence offered yesterday renders it un-
likely that some $4,000 worth of property
left by Annie Z. Nor;hcutt, alias Annie Nc
Cam, alias Stella Horton, will ever go to
George Fl. Northcutt, who claims to be her
son.
Judge Cole. after some further argument
over the demurrer fled by caveatee, decided
that while there was considerable doubt as
TO some points he would let the hearing pro-
ceed in order certainly TO give the cayeator a
full opportunity TO prove his rights.
Mrs. MyTa DuGan, sister OF Mrs Northcutt
testified that her sister came to this country
from ireland when sixteen years old, disap-
peared from home in Brooklyn with a man
named McCann, and was next heard Of in
Huntsville, Ala, and later in ST. Louis, No.
Then she was lost sight Of for ten years, but
in 1876 returned TO Brooklyn and visited Mrs.
Dugan.
She had then boy about five years old
who she said was her son. She soon after
came to Washington. Mrs. Dugan visited
her here several times, and or one of these
occasions found her in mourning, and she
said her boy was dead. The last time, Mrs
Dugan said, she saw her sister was during
five days she was with her in her last illness
at Providence Hospital.
Mrs. Northcutt at that time called in a
Catholic priest and made confession. After
that she told Mrs. Dugan that her statement
thai the boy she had with her in 1876 was
her son was untrue Shesaid she had never
been married and had never had a child.
Her whole life. she said, had been a dread
ful failure-a blank. Upon cross-examina-
tion this story was not materially shaken.
The physician who attended Mrs. North
eutt in her last illness also testified. He
said he asked her about her life in order to
treat her disease more inteligently. and she
said she had never had child. His medical
knowledge confirmed her statement.
The testimony OF Thomas l.. Weldon as to
the personal resemblance of the claimant to
Mrs. Northcutt was excluded.
Under the will, which seems likely to be
sustained the property goes to Mrs. Dugan
and Joseph H. Mccain, of this city.

York; Mrs Sarah L. Mink, of New York,
and Mrs. Harriet l.. Reed, of Boston, Mass

ence by President Ellen Spencer Muses., Of
the legion.
Mrs Davis took occasion to impress upon
her hearers the importance of impressing
upon the minds and hearts of children an
undying veneration for their country and
their flag. She then gave a brief sketch
of the work in tie kindergarten schools
of New York city, in all OF. which the first
lesson was an effort to teach the children
the erelationbetween the flag and the country.
Mrs. Mink said she would take advantage
of the opportunity to thank the president,
Mrs. Mussey, and the ladies of the Legion
of Loyal Women for the interest they had
taken in the training of the girls for the
"Balch Salute,'' and hoped that at the next
congress of the National Council of Women
they would meet, not as ''fraternal,
, but full-fledged delegates.
Mrs Reed congratulated the legion on
the step it had taken in study of the laws Of
the country 1t is tie only Way to become
thoroughly acquainted th woman's
rights She then explained freedom as the
power not to do just what we would like,
but the power to do and enforce what is
right.

and instrumental music Those WHO con,
tributed it Were: Mrs Weiss, Mrs. Odell,
Mrs. Hoover, Mrs. Meyer, Miss Maggie Cox,

A Big Crowd Sees BLACK Crook. -

Manager Allen stood in the lobby Of the
Grand Opera House last night and wonder ed
if Washington was under the impression that
grand opera was still running at his theater.
The crowd which surged past him seemed to
verify the conclusion, hut in reality, Eugene
Tompkin ever popular "Biaek Crook" was
the drawing card.
The audience was enormous and taxed the
capacity Of the popular play house almost
as severely as on the "Lohengrin" opening
night last Thursday.
The great spectacular production has been
improved since its last appearance here by
new costumes. new danseuses. new scenery.
new properties. new act, and new songs.
Not the least attractive part of the per-
fOrmance is the absolute perfection OF the
scene shifting and mechanical arrangements.
There are no long waits and no awkward
situations such as too often spoil the effect
OF n production of this sort.
The chorus girls and leading ladies are
