FOO1E MISSED HIS POINT
IN CALLING ASSISTANT DISTRICT
ATTORNEY BLACK AS A
WITNESS.
MOVE AND RULED CUES
TONS OUT.

?. NJ. O'Connor, the election inspector
of the Sixteenth Precinct of the Thirty-frst
District, was on trial before Judge Wallace
yesterday for willfully refusing to sign the
election returns from his precinct as is re-
quired by the law. Defending him was
M. NJ. Foote, who has already been in
serious trouble over the case through his
free and easy criticisms of the course taken
by Judge Wallace, and yesterday he came
very near crossing the line once more,
although this time his offense was more
passive than active.
Foote'S claim is that the Election Com
mission agreed to dismiss the case if
O'Connor would sign the returns. O'Con-
nor has signed the returns and still the
show that his client had told the District
Attorney that he was willing at any time
to sign the returns, that he had no inten-
ton OF breaking any law and that there
was no criminal intent in his action. To
prove this Mr.. Foote called A. P. Black,
the Assistant District Attorney prosecuting
the case to the stand Black did not want
to go. Judge Wallace looked with sur
prise on the proceedings, and said SO.
Should Mr. Black be made a witness he
could not argue the case before the jury,
and the court was of the opinion that in
that fact lay the principal object in putting
the Assistant District Attorney on the
stand.
Foote contended it was not and insisted
that Black be called, and finally the court
allowed him to take the stand, saying that
he would see if Mr.. Foote's intention were
what he claimed or not. Foote tried to
except to the remark, but Judge Wallace
announced that he would allow no excep-
tions to the remarks of the court. Foote
then put his questions, all touching upon
what O'Connor had told the witness, and
one by one the were ruled out by the
court and Black retired without giving
word of evidence. The case then pro-
ceeded without any further unpleasantness.

Yesterday morning Weldon appeared in
Judge Lows court to answer to charge
of vagrancy. He repeated his statement to
the Judge, who said TO Lake: This man
is not a vagrant and hasn't committed any
crime"
81 don't want to prosecute him, your
Honor, said Lake. 81 locked him up to
prevent him from taking his life"
"Well," said the Judge, 81 will dismiss
the case, and as the Storage rate is only

Weldon thanked the Judge for his kind
ness. He will be properly looked after

HIS MOTHER-IN-LAW.
Dan Spellman Wanted by the Police for
Failure to Provide.

Mrs. Lizzie DAILY, Seventeenth avenue,
South San Francisco, swore out warrant
in Judge Conlans court yesterday for the
arrest of Der son,in-law, Dan Spellman, on
the charge of failure to provide.
Mrs. Spellman accompanied her mother.
She said they had been married seven Years
ago, and had two children, one six years of
age and the other four. Almost from the
day of their marriage she had been forced
to go out working for families to earn
money to keep them from starving.
Spellman had been constantly in trouble,
and three or four years ago had to leave
the city. When he came back he secreted
himself in his fathers house, and the fear
of his arrest so worked upon his mother
that she died.
Mrs. DAILY said she was getting tired sup
porting Spellman's wife and children, and
was determined to bring him to time.

diseased all over. The doctor Oh! he
tells me to keep quiet. Such mockery!
Infammatory and ulcerative conditions
at the neck of the womb can produce ell
the above symptoms in the same person.
In fact, there is hardly a part of the body
that can escape those sympathetic pains
and aches.
No woman should allow herself to reach
such perfection of misery when there
is positively no need of it.

such cases; strengthens the muscles of
the womb, heals all Inflammation, and
restores that unruly organ to its normal

described horrors. Now she is well.

FIERCE AND BLOODY WAR
Must Ensue Before the Spanish Subdue the
Cuban Revolutfonists.

st. Louis, March 22.-H. H. Schmed-
ling arrived, this morning, direct from
Havana, Cuba. Nothing but fierce and
bloody war will extinguish the feeling
which now exists there" he said key
West, Port Tampa and smaller ports are
swarming with Cuban revolutionists, and
arms and ammunition are being shipped
to Cuba daily, despite the Vigilance of the
Spanish. There is but one topic of con-
versation in Havana and that is war. The
trouble is only beginning.
There are three nationalities there; the
Spaniards, vain and domineering, who fill
all the offices and live off the fat of the
land; the Cubans, proud, brow beaten. and
always ready to strike for freedom; and
the negroes, who do the manual labor.
"The classes have a bitter hatred for
each other, but the Cubans AMI negroes
make a common cause against the Span
iardl. Occasional successes may be gained
by the rebels. but the conflict, which is
only guerilla warfare, must eventually
end in Spanish victory"

THE INCOME TAX
Working Even More Smoothly Than It's
Warmest Friends Expected.

Washington, March 22.-Income tax re-
turns are pouring into the office OF the
Commissioners of internal revenue SO
rapidly as to keep the income tax division
very busy. Clerks from other divisions
have been detailed to assist in the work
of classifying the returns. The returns,
IL is stated, are much more numerous than
was calculated upon in the first estimates
submitted to Congress as basis for the
action.
The estimate then was that 80, 600 cor
porations and individuals were subject TO
the tax. After the law was passed and
the estimates of the bS collectors OF inter
nal revenue compiled. it was found that
they aggregated 490, 600 returns from cor
porations and individuals. This estimate
is considered entirely too high, and If the
income tax is paid by 240, 600 individuals
and corporations, it is believed the law
will have been more generally enforced
than is usual with new enactment OF
this kind.
According to the officials of the treasury
department., neither corporations nor indi-
viduals are holding back the returns,
pending the decision of the supreme court
on the constitutionality of the tax.
Foreign returns and returns from New
York and other centres mostly affected by
the tax are said to be coming in quite
lively Although the tax itself is not
due until July /, it is said that $40, 900
has already been paid in.

TWO Big FOOLS
Tell How They Have Been swindIed Through
Matrimonial Advertisements.

Brooklyn, March 22.-Mrs. Minnie
Nichol Of Patchogue. L. l., was brought
into the United States district court here,
today, to stand trial on the charge of hav-
ing swindled two farmers out of small
sums Of money and some jewelry by a love
correspondence. The compliments are
G. a. Fulton of Ithaca and Edwin O.
York of Westerly, r. L., both Of whom
advised for wife.
Assistant District Attorney Roy claims
that Mrs. Nichol has swindled many other
men. Mrs Nichol is the wife of q laborer.
Her method was to answer personals" in
the newspapers and after getting reply,
to tell tale of woe and pretend that she
was widow. She would ask the victim
to send her money for railroad fare and
then consent to marriage. She would
also ask for jewelry. Mrs Nichols lawyer
asys she was insane some time ago and
was not entirely cured
Both complainants were placed on the
stand. York said he was always cores
ponding with at least 10 or IL women
whose addresses he obtained through the
personals in matrimonial paper. he
never became engaged to any OF his cor
respondents and had only seen one OF
them. He said that he had been swindltd
out of considerable money by sending rail
road fares to prospective brides To Mrs.
Nichol he sent Sl1 and several articles OF
jewelry.
Fulton testified that be had CORE
sponded with between so and 100 women
and was anxious to marry each one. The
case was adjourned.

SPANISH EDITORS
Have Goaded Authorities TO Point Where
They Feel Like Being Ugly.

Madrid, March 22.-Some days may
elapse before the new Spanish ministry
will be formed Meanwhile the Sagasta
ministry is in office. Gen. Martinos
Campos strongly favors suspending the
constitution and permitting Journalists
who have attacked the army and navy to
be tried by military court martial, on
the ground that their offence is high trea-
son, and ought not for that reason to be
brought before the courts.
Just here the difficulty lies. Ii the
ministry should be formed on those lines,
the consent of the Chamber would be
necessary to suspend the constitution and
make special laws for the trial of the
offending journalists. In those circum-
stances the purposes of the new ministry
would be fully discussed and would pro-
woke sharp criticism from such deputies
as are not favorable to SO arbitrary pro-
cseding If the Cortez was not in session
it would be comparatively easy to carry
out General Campos' views.
When the new ministry is formed, Gen.
Martinos Campos, it is understood, will
take the portfolio of war rather than the
premiership. He is now commander-in-
chief of the Spanish army and governor
general of Madrid and is more of a soldier
than politician, and he has the support
of the army and the full confidence of the
Queen.
The Queen Regent received Senior
Sagasta several times, today, but was
unable to arrange with him for a new
cabinet. She then summoned Canovas
Del Castillo.
