farmers who redenouncin ing capitalists
for calling IL their loans, and making
new loans payable IN gold, are very
much like that small boy. Under the
threat Of debasing our standard of
value so that debts could be paid In
fifty cent dollars, the capitalists have
been withdrawing loans. OF course
this Is very wicked Of them, but any

So now the good debtors, who want to

demanding laws Furnishing men who

Strange. isn't il? The bad capitalists
will insist on yelling when they get

play the good debtor hits them again.
And still the bad bov hollers.

Prices Not Related.

The sudden rises and falls in the
price OF wheat do not affect in the
least the price of silver. Nor does the
price of silver have the least effect on
the price OF wheat. One of the main
arguments of the silverltes is COM
pletely o~verthrown by the fact that
these two commodities of wheat and
silver have little or no market rela-
tons with each other.

THE HANSCOMB ROBBERY.
A Daring Burglary Recalled by Jim.
LoSuc's Arrest.

The robbery of Naval Constructor Hans
comb, which occurred about 1875 and is
recalled by the surrender OF Jimmy
Logue to the Philadelphia police, as told
in the dispatches to The Star today, is
well remembered by the older members of
the police force here, as well as by the ex-
detectives who were members Of the de-
tective corps at that time. Mr.. Hanscomb,
the victim of the robbery, lived on / street
northwest between 18th and 18th streets,
near the house occupied by the late Presi-
dent Garfield when he was a member of
Congress.
Constructor Hafscomb had appeared be-
fore a congressional committee and given
evidence concerning his wealth, and soon
afterward when it was made known that
he had been robbed of $4,000 worth of
bends his friends were surprised.
The robbery was committed one evening
while the owner of the bonds was at din

house, and the burglar evidently gained an
entrance through the window in the man.

ment pending against Logue here, and the
naval officer who was robbed has since

Only as tc two Of the reports from the
Washington congregations was there any
especial manifestation of interest by the
conference. The first outburst was ore Of
applause called forth by Pastor McLaren's
announcement that Anacostia collections
had increased more than 80 per cent. The
second sign consisted of much unrestrained
laughter when the bishop called Dupont
Circle, G. H. Corey" The non-existence of
that church seemed to, afford even the staid
brethren good reason for audible smiles.
DR.. Hunt spoke Of the book concern. the
great publishing interests of the church;
DR.. Lanahan commented on the informa-
ton. and DIR. Payne of the board Of edu-
cation advocated more careful and gen.
eral observance of Children's day.
Both DR.. Lanahan and DR.. Payne took
advantage Of opportunities to make re-
marks about the recently deceased Con-
gress. and thus developed evidence of a
lack OF esteem for that body by the con-
ference.
With consideration Of few minor mat
tiers and with acceptance of an invitation
to attend special religious services, the
conference adjourned for the day, so as
to give the committees opportunity to get
to work.

COLUMBUS. Ohio, March 6.-The Co.
lImbus Despatch today sent a reporter to
John Radebaugh, on Swan street, to get
information about the men who led the
horses attached to the funeral car which
carried Lincoln's remains through the
streets of Columbus, EN- route from Wash
ington to Springfield, Ill. Mr.. Radebaugh
was at that time chief clerk to the United
States assistant quartermaster, the late
Col Raymond Burr. located in this city.
Speaking of various matters about the
war, Mr.. Radebaugh said he could give the
true account of the escape of Gen. John
Morgan and his thirteen comrades from
the Ohio penitentiary. Being urged to 10
SO, Mr.. Radebaugh said Secretary Stanton
ordered their release. Stanton said Nor
gan was being held in q felon's prison in
violation or the rules of war. The confed-
crates Were threatening retaliation. STAN
ton sent q secret order to Gov Tod to re-
lease Morgan. The situation was explain
ed to Tod. There was fear that the public
could not be made to understand the cir
cumstances. There was intense feeling
against Morgan among the people.
Radebaugh says: Gov. Tod called con-
ference with Col. Young, his military sec
rotary, Warden Marion of the penitentiary,
Col Burr, the quartermaster. and myself.
1t was decided to allow Morgan to escape.
nudliou Was 10 manage the case. we were

In wagon to West Jefferson to take
train to Cincinnati. I myself met John
Morgan just outside the prison, and went
with him to the depot, where he took a
train to Cincinnati. This was about 10
o'clock at night. That is the true story of
the escape of Morgan, and I am willing to
swear to it.
Il suppose Gov. Tod either destroyed the
order from Stanton or concealed 1t among
his personal effects I am the only person
living who took part in the affair.""
1t has always been believed by many
persons that Morgan bought his way out,
and Warden Marion was greatly censured

Official authority cleared his skirts. The
manner of the escape and all the cir
cumstances seem to indicate that it could

making the affair public Is that he will
soon pass away. and his belief that blame
will not now be attached to men who set
Morgan free.

They Came Up in the Supreme Court
Today.
HEAVY THUNDER ABOUT 10 ROLL
The Various Cases All Consolidated
Into One.
WEEKS ARGUMENT LIKELY

The preliminary arrangement for the
argument in the income tax cases was
made in the Supreme Court of the United
States today in the presence of such an
array of distinguished counsel as is seldom
seen in the court.
There are three of the cases, namely. j. G..
Moore agt. the commissioner Of internal
revenue, Charles Pollock agt the Farmers
Loan and Trust Company and Lewis H.
Hyde agt. the Continental Trust Company.
The proceedings were opened with a re-
quest from the Attorney General that the
government be allowed to be heard in the
argument and that the three cases be con-
solidated.
The Cases Consolidated.
Both requests were granted by The cour:
but the second va. not passed upon until
counsel were allowed to express their opin-
ions as to the amount Of time / ecessary
Both Judge Shel!abarger and Mr.. Car ter
expressed themselves as aequiesceIt in the
request for consolidation in case the orde.
Tor such disposition OF them would not be
used to secure an abbrevfation of the time
to be given for argument. 1t was finally
arranged that f1v, hours should be given :.
each side, with the statement by Chief
Justice fuller that further time Mould lie
given, II found Necessary. later. He also
remarked that the court would not expert
to hear more than three attorneys OH each
side.
The Array of Counsel.
In the Moore case ex-senator George F.
Edmunds and Samuel Shellabarger and
Jere NJ. Wilson appear for Moore. and the
Attorney General. Assistant Attorney Gen.
eral Whitney and the solicitor general, Mr..
Conrad, for the government Pollock and
Hyde are represented by Clarence A. Sew
ard, W. D. Guthrie, Charles Steele Joseph
H. Choate, Charles Southmayd and B. H.
Bristow, while H. B. Turner appears for
the Farmers Loan and Trust Company,
and James c. Carter and William c. GULL
rer for the Continental Company.
Judge Edmunds Sick.
The Attorney General and his assistants
will also appear as the representatives of
the government in resisting the appeals of
Pollock and his side. Mr.. Edmunds was
not present in the court today, owing to
illness, but Judge Shellabarger stated that
he had so far recovered that he expected to
be present and make his argument tomor-
row. 1t is believed that the argument will
consume all the time of the court during
the remainder Of the week.
New Solicitor General in Court.
Solicitor General Conrad made his first
appearance in his new capacity in the Su-
preme Court today, and was presented by
Attorney General Olney. The ceremony
consisted In simple formal Introduction
to the court as such. which was acknowl-
edged on behalf of the bench by Chief
Justice Fuller, who remarked pleasantly
that 1.-The court was happy to welcome an
old acquaintance in a new relation"
Mr.. Conrad will perform his first duty
in the court as solicitor general as as

Referring to the notice given him yester-

oppose the application. Mr.. Birney stated
that eight indictments still stood against

fore, insist upon an amount of bail suf-

presence when wanted again. Bail in the
sum of at least $4,000. he would ask, and
he thought such an amount reasonable.
AS soon as he could dispose of some very

Naval Cadet Dcnnett Re.,cn..

Naval Cadet bennett of Maine, protege
of Representative Reed and Boutelle, has
resigned from the navy. This is the young
man whose case occupied the entire atten-
ton of the Navy Department for nearly
ten days. several weeks ago. He was
recommended for dismissal by the aca-
demic board for "gouging' at the December
examination. Secretary Herbert overruled
the board and bennett was reinstated in
his class. His resignation is said to be the
result of his failure to make the required
percentage at the recent semi-annual ex-
q animal inn.
