BORROWERS IN A BOX.
Courts Interfere to Straighten Out
Building Association,s Affairs.

WASHINGTON, April 2-The af-
fairs of the Fidelity Building, Loan
and Investment association were again
brought into court today when Receiv,
ers Pool and Williamson asked Judge
Cox for instructions as to outstanding
loans, what action, if any, should be
taken against the officers and directors
of the association, and what answers

is an outstanding sum of about $35, 900
of the associations money loaned On
no other security than the shares of
stock held by the members. They
are of the opinion that the stock can
never mature, and therefore say mem.

payments indefinitely Upon thia
showing of the receivers, Judge Cox
instructed them that they shall not
attempt to collect any part of what is
known as the share loans They shall
receive in bulk from borrowing mem,

per cent interest, deducting whatever

PUT HIM TO WORK.
Harry Hayward Experienced a
Novel Sensation Yesterday.

The Jail authorities yesterday put
Harry Hayward to work and issued
an order directing him to clean up
his quarters the same as the other
prisoners. Jailer West carried a
water pail to Harry's cell, and di-
rected him to bring up water and
scrub out his little apartment The
polished criminal was not attired in
working clothes, and objected to this
fancied indignity. After an anus
ing dialogue between jailor and pris-
oner, Harry took his little pail and
got down to work. 1t was with
very bad grace that he undertook
manual labor, but Jailer West in
sisted that he must work the same
as his less notorious companions.
Hayward exhibited an instance of
his sang froid and testing proclivi-
ties Monday afternoon. A friend of
his, D. e. Richter, young attorney,
was visiting him, and Harry asked
him to come and inspect the dun
geon where the jail authorities were
going to place him. The unsuspect-
ing Richter accompanied him to the
dark cell when Hayward drew him
in and fastened the door after them.
Richter made quite a protest, but
at the expiration of fifteen minutes
hayward informed him that it was
April Fools day. Jailer West then
set Richter free. Hayward and his
Jailers are enjoying box of cigars
at Richter'S expense.

Later in the day it was possible to
secure most positive denial of the
story that Secretary Gresham in
tends to resign, the author being a
cabinet officer, whose relations with
the secretary are of such nature
as to make him perfectly competent
to make this denial. 1t is also learned
that Secretary Gresham has just

I firmly believe that Newman.cut him.

firmly believe that Newman.cut him
self.
In relation to the minnie Ham,
mond" who Newman in his last state
ment claims cut him, the police made
thorough investigation yesterday.
There is a May Hammond located in a
candy store on South Third street just
below Harwoods livery who answers
the description given by Newman to
dot, but who has absolute proof as TO
her whereabouts all of yesterday after
noon. There is also another Minnie
Hammond, known as BLACK Minnie"
who is woman of the town and re-
sides on Cedar avenue. Inspectors Nor
rissey and Courtney learned that she
had left her home. about noon yester-
day, came down town on a Blooming
ton avenue car and gone up towards
Fifth street, and from there all trace
of her is lost. The police, however, do
not implicate her in the cutting, as the
story told by the women in the two
resorts mentioned is too straightfor-
ward and we'll eorroborated to admit
of much questioning.
That a man should cut himself in
the manner Newman did is very un-
usual way to commit suicide, yet the
inspectors say that man crazy drunk,
as witnesses claim Newman was, is
liable to do most anything. Another
point advanced, and very strong one,
is that the clubhouse is altogether too
small to admit two persons.
The first thought of the police was to
arrest every person in the two houses
of ill-fame where Newman had been,
but, after a careful investigation, they
concluded to take no action for the
time being beyond careful investiga-
ton. In case of Newman's death,
which at 10 o'clock last night was mo-
mentarily expected, wholesale arrests
will probably be made.
A search of the clubhouse revealed
Newman's coat and vest and his own
knife lying on the floor, with two
blades open and both covered with
blood. He had evidently slashed him
self and then went out and crawled
as far as the alley.
Newman is man of very fine
physique, over six feet tall and of
strong build. He has light complex
ion, with dark sandy hair and mus
tache. In making his statement to the
inspectors and county attorney, after
his talk with a GLOBE reporter, New
man not only gave Minnie Hammond's
name over and over again, swearing
that she cut him, but told what town
she lived in before she came to this
city, naming Florence, MINI. The
police sent a dispatch to that town
last night, and expect an answer to-
day.
Supt. Smith did not hesitate to state
last night that he believed the case
one of suicide. He was so positive of
this that arrests were not considered
necessary. In case of NeWman's death
an autopsy and inquest will be held
by the coroner.

The Smart Set.


Washington Post.
The latest fad in ''the smart set, is
to inquire whether congress is here yet.
The members of this august element in
society delight to emphasize their ig-
norance of everything political. They
rarely go to the capitol, and If seen
there seem to be covered with confu-
sion, as it would seem to indicate
they lay themselves liable to be sus-
pected of feeling some interest in ma
tlonal affairs, which they would con-
slider very bad form. They enjoy polk
ing fun at 1.-THE political Set as they
call them, and wonder how they amuse
themselves. When taken in to dinner
by the Patagonian minister they keep
the conversation headed toward for
elgn topics and lament the newness.
crudeness, and badness of everything
IN America as compared with Europe.
1t is considered to be a very fine thing
to be at home everywhere except in
ones own country, and yet the fool
killer will not get to work.

BRACKETT TALKS.
Meets With the City Officials and
Explains.


"Nordeen will have to strike his
colors, George A. Bracket is report
ed to have said spiritedly yesterday. at
a conference in Mayor Pratt's private
once. relative to the recently much
talked of hospital deal, into the in
Veshgation of which Aid Nordeen had
a council committee launched.
There were present, besides the may

ties, Joseph r. Kingman, who repre-
sents an Eastern trust company. and
George w. Bestor, representing the
Minneapolis Trust company Both of
these last named concerns have made
loans secured by mortgage on prop
erty in which the city now has an in
terest, although the city officials say
that the city's interests are first.
There was an extended discussion of
the intricacies of the hospital trans
action, in which Mr.. Bracket avowed
that there had been no misrepresenta-
ton or underhand work in connection
with the deal, and stated that he could
not from business standpoint have
afforded to have permitted anything
OIL the SORT He was deeply panied at
the damaging reports which had been
telegraphed broadcast over the coun-
try, and promised to make things
warm for some of those who had been
careless in exaggerating the actual
state of affairs.
The error in the deeds by which
one block was designated by a wrong
number was talked over, and the pa
pers necessary to correct it were
drawn up, so that irregularity has
been Strengthened out. The nub of
the whole matter, however, the ques-
ton of the business prudence of the
deal by which the second payment was
made, and how the city would get its
money back was not discussed any
further than that Mr.. Bracket stated
that he would make a proposition to
the council committee on Thursday
when it meets, that could not fail to
be satisfactory to all parties concern
ed, as no one would lose a cent by the
transaction.
What would be the nature of this
proposition further, Mr.. Bracket de-
clined to state, either to his compan-
ions or to a newspaper reporter, who
made it the subject of special inquiry.

New York Tribune
In an amateur theatrical society
there came crisis. There was TO be
a performance on Monday, and on
Saturday, after what had been in.
tended for the last rehearsal, it was
plainly and painfully and awfully
evident that another rehearsal was.t
needed. The matter was talked over
as only matters of such grave, of
such stupendous Importance can
be talked over. There was an ele-
ment which in the desperate cir
cumstances came out boldly for a
Sunday rehearsal. and opposed to
this were those who firmly declaredf
that rather than Rave a Sunday re-
hearsal they would prefer to see the
amateur society disappear in the<
mast profound oblivion
The Sunday rehearsal faction had
as its advocate a woman who pre-
sented her arguments with vigor
and eloquence, but she could not
shake the rock on which stood the
leaders of the opposition, two VEN
cradle maidens who, with numerous
Biblical quotations, fortified their
position regarding the observation
of Sunday.
But, cried the woman, who had
resolved to be Nepoleonic in the
emergency, did not our Lord say
that the Sabbath was made for men,
not men for the SABBATH"
Then there was a pause. The
maidens gazed at each other. Each
felt that this was the time when the
day must be saved. One of them
opened her lips to speak, and the
other heaved great sigh of relief.
That is true said she who re-
