ton arises ''Do they want Haney at
all?''
From what has been said by the in
vestigators, it is inferred that the city
clerk Is wanted, and badly SO, but
nevertheless, the fact remains that
Haney could very easily leave Normal
for parts unknown without that fact
being communicated to the county at
torney's Office, If the statements made
by Mr.. Peterson are true and there is
no reason to believe that they are not.
Whatever may be the facts in the
case the public certainly look upon the
matter with suspicion. To an unbiased
person, it would certainly appear that
If Haney was wanted badly enough to
have a warrant issued for his arrest,
and kilograms sent all over the country
to that effect, 1t would seem that when
Il is known exactly where he is, some
steps would be taken toward bringing
him to this city. The only thing, how
ever, that has been done during the
36 hours, dating from the time his tele-
gram was received, is to answer the
telegram with one stating that he Is
wanted.
In view Of all these facts there are
these who believe that Charley Haney
will be allowed to leave Normal for
Mexico without any interference from
Minneapolis. But, then, the county at
torney undoubtedly knows his business
The action of the grand jury yester-
day in examining newspaper reporters
in an effort to find out the leak that

topics upon which to enlarge in the
columns of the papers which they rep
resent has closed many mouths.

SLIPPED ON THE TRACK.
Mrs. Rebe1ah White MangIed Be-
yond Recognition

While going on an errand for her husband
about o'clock last evening Rebekah White
wife Of James White, was run down and hor-
ribly mangled by a switch engine on the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul road at the
crossing on Ninth avenue south, between
Washington avenue and Third street.
The woman, who was about fifty years Of
age, ran a cigar and confectionery store with
her husband at Third street and Ninth avenue
south. The latter last evening desired to go
to South Minneapolis on business and asked
his wife for car fare. Not having the neces-
sary change, Mrs. White started down Ninth
avenue, across the railroad tracks, to have a
dollar changed. But she did not succeed in
completing her errand, for she met her death
before she had. gone half block from her
little store.
Just exactly how the accident happened is
unknown, for, so far as known, nobody saw
the affair. 1t is thought, however that she
was in hurry and tried to pass in front Of
the engine, which switching back and
forth along the tracks. The supposition is
that the woman slipped in front of the loco
motive and before she could regain her feet
the engine was upon her and had crushed out
her life. The trainmen claim they did not see
the accident, and that the first intimation
they had Of anything wrong was the shock
felt when she was run over
the engine was at once stopped and Coroner
KistIer notified. He ordered the remains
taken to the county morgue and will hold an
inquest at 10 o'clock this morning.
Tie Woman'S remains so badly
mangled that recognition would have been i'm
possible. Nothing was left Of the face and
head except mixed up mass of hair, brains
and blood. The right arm was crushed and
almost severed at the elbow and the right foot
was crushed and hung by a shred. There
were also other injuries upon the body.

BOSTON DEFALCATI0N.
Trust Company Robbed of One Hun
dred Thousand Dollars.

BOSTON, Mass, Dec. 1S.-Frank c. Miles,
for more than twenty years the trusted
treasurer of the Boston Safe Deposit and
Trust company. one Of the oldest and most
conservative of Boston's banks, is de-
faulter for at least 100000. The defalca-
ton was discovered late this afternoon by
the president and a meeting of the direc-
tors called. After hurried consultation the
following statement, which had previously
been prepared, was given out by President
Stone.
The examining committee Of the Boston
Safe Deposit and Trust company, finding a
deficit in their securities, called upon the
treasurer, Frank G. Miles, for an explain
alton, when he confessed that he had mis-
applied securities which may involve a loss
to the company of from $50, 900 to 800, 900.
The company holds a responsible bond of in
demnity in the sum of $4,000. -
More than the above the officials refused to
say, except that Miles had been treasurer of
the Institution since 1t began business In 1875
and during all the twenty-one years had
handled the funds Of the company in the most
conservative and careful manner, not even a
whisper being heard as to his integrity until
today. The company has a capital of 81 009,-
coo and does a regular trust company busi-
ness, beside having q large number of safe
deposit vaults which it rents to private
parties for the safe keeping Of securities.
Miles had full charge of the cash deposits
and securities belonging to the company and
those held as collateral for loans and it was
from these securities that he abstracted those
missing.
At a late hour tonight the examining COM
mittee was still in session at the bank, try
ing to ascertain If $100, 900 covered the entire
deficit. Papers to present Tor a. warrant for
too late for the granting of such a
warrant today. Mr.. Lincoln stated that the
securities of the company had probably been
hypothecated by Miles and the money raised
on them used in speculation Miles, who is
forty-six years old, has luxurious home at
346 Beacon street.

PENSIONS AND CLAIMS.
Day I'm the House Devoted to Their
Consideration.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-This was private
bill day In the house, but most of the ses-
seven pension and relief bills favorably acted
upon by the committee Of the whole last Fri
day. The bill to pay Flora A. Daring, the
wife OF Confederate general, $5,683 for Ten
nessee and Louisiana bank notes taken from
her in 1864, while under flag of truce, which
was attacked by Mr.. Dalzell last Friday, was
laid on the table. Only five bills were favor
ably acted upon today. One Of them a hill
to refer claim of Thomas B. Reed. a Penn
sylvania soldier during the war; for unpaid
balance OF salary, to the court of claims
created some merriment, owing to the fact
that his name was identical with that of the
speaker of the house.
AT the opening of the session of the house
there was pretty piece OF by-play, growing
out OF the presentation Of resolution for
some additional employees of the house The
house was in a state Of confusion, and Mr..
Dlngley, the leader of the majority, was cate
chising Mr. Odell as to the necessity for the
Increase When they finished their dialogue
Mr.. Richardson Dem, Tenno Complained
that he had not been able to hear what was
said. and he inquired suggestively IT, the dis
tingu1shed speaker Of the house" had oficialIy
announced that the increase was NECESSARY
because of the approaching extra session.
Mr.; Dingley parried the thrust and replied
Dlandly that he was sorry the confusion had
rendered 1t impossible for the gentleman from
r tennessee TO understand what he had said
The resolution was defeated
In the course of the debate m the olain,
bills, Mr.. Dingley made a few remarks pro-
testing against opening the door to old Claims
Tnls drew from Mr.. Mahon, chairman OF the
war claims committee, an ardent defense of
claims unpaid by the government. deyoting
most OF his attention to the justice OF the
French spoliation and Pennsylvania border
war claims. He insisted that claims should
be met and decided on their merits. and thai
1t was dishonest 20 plead the statute of
limitations against them. At O'Clock the
mouse took a recess until o'clock, the even
Ing session being devoted to the consider
ton Of private pension bills.

MINNEAPOLIS
OFFICE 20 SOUTH FOURTH STREET.
SHE MET QUEEN LII.
minneapolis Woman Tells of the
Voyage From Honolulu

Mrs. J. ii. Horton, an old resident of Min
neapolis, returned this week from japan,
after an eighteen months residence with her
daughter, Mrs. George Cotton in Yokohama.
She says that just thevessel was weighing
anchor at Honolulu party made its appear
ance which proved to be Queen Liliuokalani
accompanied by native woman of rank an
agent and other attendants No notice had
been sent to the steamship and the party
was obliged to take about the poorest state
rooms in the ship the captain explaining to
Mrs. Horton that there were no others. The
attendants returned on the pilot boat only
the handsome native companion and the agent
coming to America.
The advent of this much -talked-about wom-
an on the ship created a big stir, and although
all the women wanted to meet her, they hard
ly knew what was proper under the circum-
stances and were discussing it among them
selves. Mrs. Horton and the wife of United
States army officer agreed that she should be
approached just any other passenger. The
following day Mrs. Horton came across the
ex-queen in the salon alone, and at once ad-
alitieS suggested by voyaging, and found her
more than ready to meet these friendly ad-
Hances. The rest OF the ladies speedily fol-
lowed this example, and all saw good deal
of the queen, but Mrs. Horton was accorded
an especial degree of favor being the first
to make the queens acquaintance.
She talked freely about annexation, to
which she is naturally much opposed, and
she declares that all the planters and other
wealthy men on the island are with her in
this. The particular ground of their oppo-
sftion is their employment of cheap Japanese
labor, which they think would be impossible
in portion of the United States. She COM
mented especially upon John Fosters recent
visit to Honolulu for the purpose of sounding
the people on annexation and the inference
did not seem far fetched that this may have
had something to do with her trip which no
one IN Honolulu knew was contemplated.

HAVE A GOOD CLEw.

The members of the city detective force ap-
pear to have expressed most hopeful awak-
ening from the lethargy which to some peo-
pie seems to have Distinguished their con-
duct since burglars and thugs have been
holding such high carnival in Minneapolis.
They claim to be on the track of several
gangs which are said to be responsible for
the wholesale highway a'obbely and lawless
acts, which have caused the timid people Of
the city to pass many sleepless nights and
from now ON good work on the part of the
detectives may be looked for. The trio ar
rested Thursday are said to have been re-
sponsible for only ceftaini number of rob-
berries, as confessed to, and they seemed to
have confined their operations entirely to the
South side. .
The police believe that different gangs have
been working in the different parts of the
city, and they insist that young men, residents
of Minneapolis, and not outsiders, will be
subsequently held responsible.
Two of the detectives F'stfuck lead' on
Thursday. and one of them said yesterday
that he believed 1t would be followed to a.
successful conclusion. He. further intimated
that arrests might follow very soon, and
that the identity of the guilty parties would
prove almost much of a sensation as was
that of the three now under arrest. 1t is
understood that the persons whose apprehen-
sion is looked for will be held responsible for
numerous hold-up episodes on the North side
and possibly the st. Louis Park affair on
Wednesday night.

HOMIE FOR UNEMPLOYED.
Old Court House to Become n Tenn
pOrary Hotel.

The old court house is to be put to a good
use at last, after having remained vacant.
for more than a year.
Yesterday afternoon T. B. Walker and An
thony Kelly came before committee of the
county commission, and asked that they be
granted the use of the old building, to be
used for the purpose of housing the needy
unemployed during the winter. The request
is the result of a plan which has been con-
templated by number Of charitably dis
posed citizens, and the cooperation of the
county commission was necessary.
The board did not want to allow the privi-
lege for any stated length of time, as 1t
might interfere with plans which might come
up for the occupancy of the building, but
they had no objection to a tenancy at will.
This was granted, and the gentlemen will
set at once about plans for fixing the build
ing in shape for hotel for the unemployed.
The building is we'll fitted for the purpose,
the heating plant being in plac, and all that
is needed is furnishing. AS soon as a plan
is perfected the matter will be given to
the public, and the work of caring for the
needy unemployed will begin.
