Indulge In 4 War Of words.

Indulge IN War Of words.
NEW YQRK, July ae.--President Roose-
welt, of the police board, and Internal
Revenue Collector Edward Crosse last
night, for the second time, came into col
lision in q discussion Of the excise ques-
ton.
The meeting took place 81 the headquar-
ters of tho Columbia club. President
Roosevelt said; 1--WE stand for the en-
forcement Of all laws and where 1t is i'm
possible to attend to all, we attend to the
chief offenders and deal with the others
in duo time. We won last year on tho
platform Of common honesty, which means
the enforcement Of all laws.
You read that interview with the editor
Of The Wine and Spirit Gazette where no
stated that under the old regime the black
mail of the police became SO heavy that a
delegation called on the president Of the
police board, and he agreed to stop 1t on
condition that the saloon keepers sup
ported Tammany Hall, and no astonish-
ment is expressed at this revelation, be-
cause everybod knows it to be true.
"The excise law never was dead law.
II has always been enforced, but 1t used
TO be enforced only against those who had
no pull. The difference between then and
now Is not one of severity, but one Of COM
mon honesty"
Internal Revenue Collector Crosse said
In reply: 1.-The German American Reform
union has been deceived by Mayor Strong.
Mayor Strong promised that the laws
would be interpreted in liberal manner.
We have been fooled. We were down on
Tammany because Of Its infamous en-
forcement of the excise law. Now we arc
worse off than BEFORE

Des.itutIon among Canadian Farmers.

MONTREAL July 2e.-Advices from On
tario state that the deplorable condition
of the farmers throughout the province is
daily becoming more intensified. Meetings
Of farmers are being held at various points
and petitions prepared for transmission to
Ottawa, asking the Dominion government
to help the farmers to bring hay from the
northwest to feed their cattle. In great
part Of the northern district there is no
hay at all, and as freight rates on the hay
are high, without governments aid 1t will
be impossible for many farmers to keep
cows through the winter. In some parts
Of the province the farmers are taking
their cattle into the woods and shooting

Holme. to be Tried In Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, July 26.-District At
torney Graham decisively announced this
morning that II. II. Holmes will be tried
in this city for the murder Of Benjamin #.
Pitezel in the Callowhill street house. In
view Of the fact that the district attorney
has said that Holmes would be tried
wherever the strongest case could be made
out against him, 1t is believed that the
authorities here have recently learned
more important details of the crime, which
insure tho accused mans conviction. In
formation as to whether or not this sup
position is correct was refused.

MRS. CONNER'S MURDER
Further Evidence to Fasten the
Crime on Il. q. Holmes.
IMPORTANT LETTERS DISCOVERED.

Holmes Wrote Letters 60 the Dead wo-
mans Relatives to Deceive Them to
Her whereabouts-The Prisoner VIII be
Tried for Murder in Philadelphia.
CHICAGO, July 28.-More proof was
found yesterday that Julia L. Conner 10
dead, and that she was made way with by
H. H. Holmes 1t was determined that
she disappeared before June 9. 1S92-an
Important factor In the search for her. As
late as November, 1899, Holmes, as shown
by the letters which have been found. was
writing her parents a. to her where
abouts, and stating that she had gone to
st. Louis But on June g. 1899, he wrote
to her brother in law, Ira Yantis, Of Wau-
kesha, Wis, giving him fictitious i'd
dress as to her whereabouts in st. Louis.
Yantis wrote back to Holmes on June 0,
and this letter was found on Wednesday.
At that time Yantis had no suspicion
that Holmes had made away with his sis
ter-in-law, and supposed him to be her
friend. This letter was written three
weeks before the one In which l. Il. Con-
ner accused Holmes Of breaking faith with
him. The later letter refers to his daugh-
ter Pearl. From this 1t would appear that
Mrs. Conner was killed first and the child
afterwards.
l. L. Conner, the husband Of Julia L.
Conner and the father of Pearl Conner,
both of whom are thought to have been
murdered by Holmes, was In Chicago yes
terday, and The Inter Ocean today pub
fishes long interview with him. He has
no positive proof that Holmes killed his
wife and child, but says he believes such
to be the case. He does not know when
the crime was committed, but thinks II
was done in this city. Conner's story con-
tains practically nothing but what has
been published.
Last evening two we'll dressed women
called on Chief Radenoch and told him
that 1s.year-o.d girl, daughter of
wealthy and respectable parents, had be-
come acquainted with Holmes during the
fall of 1893, and afterwards disappeared.
Now that Holmes crimes have been ex-
posed her parents believe that their daugh-
ter was one of his victims. Chief Raden-
och will investigate their story. Until he
has fully corroborated 1t, however, he says
he will not disclose the girls name

CINCT;NATI, July II. "A Commercial
Gazette special from Urbana says: u.
r. Lewis, the fugitive broker Of Ur-
bana, o., bought and sold over So, 00O,-
900 bonds last year. The stories OF his
fOrgeTicS are cumulative. First came
from Dayton, o., mortgages Of so, eco.
Then from the Farmers bank Of Me
ChaIicsburg, news OF bonds amounting
to $l5,C Then came the story Of
$l2,O bonds held by the Michigan
Mutual. Another communication
reaches here Of $40, eco held by the
German National bank Of Cincinnati,
as collateral for loan OF $4,000. 1t
is supposed that the German National
holds spurious bonds. 1t is known
that the oJher bonds mentioned are
spurious. It has also transpired that
the UrbanG Perpetual Savings and
Loan company holds 5000 fraudulent
bonds. There is a showing already Of
over 100000 Fraudulent Bonds
held by the banks and money lenders,
and it is believed the returns are not
al in. These bonds were handsomely
Autographed, including the Official sig
natures TO them. The audaCity Of the
forgeries is masniAed by the tact that
the bonds were all on counties and
Gowns within q days carriage drive
from Urbaua. lie sold none OF these
bends, bat used them as collateral for
louns. Lewis told friend not long
ago that he was il deb5 100000 for

of these are spurious.
