quenters of the cafe. When the cases were
called in Judge Conlan's court yesterday
morning many friends of the defendants
were present and watched the proceedings
with interest.
Policeman McGrayan, who made the ar
rest, testified that he was specially de-
tailed to stop gambling. He was passing
along Powell street, and happening to look
through one of the windows of the cafe, he
saw Britton and Howard shooting craps at
a table. The OF her three were sitting at
the table. He walked in and stood about
ter minutes watching the play. He saw
m onev changing hands and then he went
outside and got Officer MacLean to go back
wi tn him. He placed the five men under
arrest.
McGrayan was asked by the Judge if he
was familiar with the crap game. The
officer gave the Judge practical illustration
of the fact that he knew the game we'll.

could find in the city," asked the Judge
ut was the only one 1 could find that
night" replied McGrayan.
You couldn't find a gambling game
with a lantern said Attorney Kowalsky,
who appeared for the defendants.
"The place where the defendants were
seated, said Kowalsky, could not only
be seen from the street but by every one
who entered the cafe, and it is preposter-
Gus to assume that they could play a crap
game there. Why didn't you arrest every
one who entered the cafe?'
McGrayan did not reply.
The defendants all swore that they were
not shooting craps, but were shaking dice
| for a bottle of wine.
''The prosecution has failed to establish
a case, said the Judge, land l believe the
defendants when they say they were shak-
ing dice for the drinks. Even if they were
not, if that is all the gambling the officers
can find in the city we are getting along

his arrest, and said it was the first time he
had ever been in the hands of the police.

they were only maps of the heavens,

Miss Williams always had taste for
medicinal study, but it was only lately that
her interest in the study of disease germs
led her to decide that she would make it
her life work.
She studied medicine in Leipsic and in
the women's medical college of the New
York infirmary, graduating from the last
named institution in 1892. She has made
a speciality of anatomy, and was at once
appointed assistant to the professor OF
pathology.
Last summer she obtained permission to
study in the citys meteorological labora-
tory the evil microbe that causes diptheria.
Her work was so thorough that she was
asked to give her time to the city, continue
her work and take a good place on the
payrolls. She is a sweet-faced, serious
minded young woman, who is more at
ease with microbes than with newspaper
folk, and who seems to be wholly absorbed
in her work.
She combs her dark hair straight back,
dresses simply, has large, intelligent, gray
eyes and moves about with quick, springy
step that betokens enthusiasm.
Her surroundings are conducive to the
scientific spirit. Microscopes of high
power are stationed here and there. Test

4 RAILROAD INVESTIGATION.
THE UNITED STATES GRAND JURY
Is LOOKING INTO THE ISSU-
ANCE OF PASSES.
JUDGE MORROW AND ATTORNEY
F'OOTE HAD QUITE A TILT
ON THE SUBJECT.

"Your Honor can, of course, give the
Grand Jury whatever instructions you
think proper; but as l have sworn to give
the same body my best advice, and am in
fact its legal adviser, shall naturally do
my best to expound to them what T believe
to be the law in whatever case may come
before it,"
The remarks just quoted were the wind
UP of quite little tilt between District
Attorney Foote and Judge Morrow in the
United States District Court yesterday
The whole matter arose over the question
of the power of the Grand Jury to call
witnesses.
They sent a message to Judge Morrow
and his Honor met them in open court.
The foreman asked whether the body had
the power to subpoena witness independ-
ent of the District Attorney.
The court told them that they had the
power to call any one who lived within the
Ninth Judicial District. 1t was then init
mated that District Attorney Foote would
not call a certain gentleman that the
Grand Jury wanted to hear from and it
was generally understood that the witness
in question was c. P. Huntington.
From this point the foreman branched
to the interstate commerce law, and the
issuance of pass to Frank Stone by c. P.
Huntington cropped up. Foote, it appears,
had advised the jurors that the evidence
only showed a crime of intent ana that an in
dctment would not lie. The jurors thought
differently and wanted c. p. Huntington
subpenaed. 1t was on this point that the
tilt occurred. Judge Morrow for time
ruled against the District ATTORNEY. but
when it was shown that there was no breach
of the interstate commerce law in Stone S
case he agreed that the crime was only one
of intent. He then pointed out to the Jury
that the word "pass" is not used in the
act, but that any person discriminating
between States was guilty.
When the matter had all been smoothed
over District Attorney Foote said he was
perfectly willing TO call any and all wit
nesses the Grand Jury might want to hear
from, but he was not willing to put the
United States to the expense of trying a
man who could never be convicted.

DR.. Ellis Will Continue the S25
Rate for Radical Cure of Rup-

In announcing rate of S25 for radical
cure of Rupture, Dr. C. z. Ellis intended that it
should be for a limited time only, and pro-
posed Withdrawing the rate on March /. Since
that date DR.. Ellis has had many inquiries
from persons suffering from Rupture, who
state that it was not possible for them to take
advantage of the low rate before its with
drawal and requesting an extension OF the
time. DR.. Ellis does not want to show any
fayo1itism in extending the time, but to allow
all an equal opportunity will continue the S25
rate until April /. 1t must be distinctly under
stood, however, that it will positively be dis
continued on and after that date
