J. C. BELL GOES TO PRISON.
His Plan to Relieve the Financial

The Courf ~ Eeaud

His Plan to Relieve the Financial
strinEency Was Classified by
the Court M Fraud.
J. R. Bell, alias Schwartz, who was con-
victed of conspiracy to work a fraud, in
the federal court at Springfield Saturday
and given sentence OF two years in the pen
itentiary, was taken to Jefferson City yes
terday morning and will begin to serve out
his term. He takes his sentence in a philo-
sophicai manner and is busy making plans
for what he will do when he gets out.
Among his effects seized and now in the
hands Of the federal officers are number
of circulars which he sent out to his agents
as instruction in the art Of winning vic
Tins to his mystic numbers" He says
the best people to approach are the active
Populists, who complain Of a lact of per
capita funds.
They seldom fail to show an immediate
interest in our plan Of relieving financial
stringency," he said, but in case they
should We can be almost as successful
with active silver advocates. Our plan is
attractive to them. Elderly single women
who have some means, school teachers and
small bankers are quite willing in many
cases to listen to the explanation of our
plans and often are willing to actively CO
operate with u.s."
Bells wife and his mother. Mrs. wyck-
of, both of whom live in Kansas City,
were present at the trial and left Spring.
field Saturday night. They profess to be-
ieve Bell innocent of fraud. Mrs. Wyck-
OF says her son is a graduate Of a law
school at Bloomington, ILL.,, and was for
many years located at Washington, d. c.,
but does not know whether he was a gov
ernment employe or not. She refused to
answer questions concerning the other bus
tness affairs Of her son, further than to
say he had been a real estate trader in
several cities. She says she has two other
sons. but refused to give their names or
place of residence.
Mrs. Bell has lived in Kansas City for
several years, but refused to say at what
number. She has two small children. Both
women were well dressed and bore evil

BISHOP KeANE's SUCCESSOR.
Directors of the Catholic University
Meet Mt Warrington This
Week to Elect.

Washington, Oct. 1S-The programme Of
the meeting of the directors Of tho Cath
olic university indicates a brief and busi-
ness-like session. The meeting begins at
1880 on Wednesday in the senate chamber
Of McMahon hall. The sessions will be
private, and the present indications are
that no authoritative Information as to
the choice of Bishop Keane's successor will
be made public until after the meeting or
until the pope has acted on the recon-
mendation of the directors. The meeting
of the archbishops begins on Thursday
morning at the same place, but this has to
do with the general affairs of the church
and not with the university.
Although the meeting Of the university
directors is near at hand, there appears to
be no capitalization on any name for the
rectorship to succeed Bishop Keane. OBJ
jections are raised to most of the names
already mentioned in the press, and in
university circles 1t is felt that the conjec-
ture. has not come from those who will
have a voice in the selection. Very Rev.
Augustin F. Hewitt, of New York. who has
been mentioned. is said to be too far ad-
vanced in years to undertake the arduous
work Of managing the university.
One of the members Of the board has
stated that it was at least settled that q
man in the prime Of life would be chosen.
Moreover, Father Hewitt belongs to the
Paulst order. and thus far the university
has been directed by the secular clergy
outside of orders. Concerning Bishops
Hcrstman, of Cleveland: Bacon, Of
Georgia; Montgomery. Of California, and
Spalding, of Peoria. 1t is said that the
pope's letter stating that rotation" shall
prevail at the university will make 1t in
expedient for any bishop or archbishop to
accept the place, as the next rector is as
sured of being rotated" out Of office after
a few years Of service. The tenure of the
bishops is for life. SO that they are not
likely to give up place Of such dignity
ard permanence for temporary position
which, when it was terminated, would
leave them without a diocese. The name
of Rev. DIR. Brinn. Of ST. Agnes parish.
New York, continues to be prominently
mentioned. Archbishop Chapelle, Of Santa
Fe, is also mentioned, although the objec-
tions already stated make It unlikely that
he would accept. 1t was he who. when in
charge of st. Matthews church here,
bought the tract where the university is
now located. for the comparatively. small
sum Of $2S,00o.

Week.

Washington. Oct. ia significant event
in the advancement Of American education
will take place in this city next Wednes-
day afternoon, when will be laid the cor
nerstone Of the Hall Of History. the first

can university. Last March ground was

Cleveland has been invited to lay the

The ceremonies OF the cornerstone laying

odist Episcopal church, and after this the

900 will be spent in the erection of the

ment buildings for which Washington Is

Frank White is said to be deputy
United States marshal, and to have been
working with Hamilton for several weeks
to convict him of some crime that would
sentence him to prison.
Hamilton had been suspected Of doing
crooked work for some time by the off,
GERS OF the United States government, and

enced him to steal the mail pouch. White

driven to robbing by adverse circum-
stances. He claims to have been under
arrest only once before, and that was on a
charge of vagrancy in Salt Lake. 1t is
known that he was arrested once in Den
Yer. Col. for stealing diamonds.
The arrest of Hamilton is an important
one, and may lead to his being sent to the
penitentiary.

VIII Have to Make Their Own Ar
ranEements This Year.
The railway postal clerks who run into
Kansas City have been notified by the
superintendent of the service that the ar
rangements that had been made heretofore
to allow clerks to get home to vote would
have to be effected this year by the clerks
themselves. 1t has been the custom for
many years for the department to make
these arrangements and there has always
been more or less complaint, and in order
to avoid censure and get rid Of disagree
able task, the department will allow the
clerks to make their own arrangements.
The chief clerk, however. is vested with
supervisory power so that no intentional
injustice may be done. The circular letter
sent out says the order is made irrespect-
i've of party interests as II is desired that
as many of the clerks may be accommo-
dated as possible.
