MARTIN HAS FLOWN.
The Attorney in the Case against Alex
ander and Cunningham Has Skipped.

lh0SA.
The principal interest OF the week
has been centered in the petition filed
by A. 7. Hill against the Sheriff and
Prosecuting Attorney. Early in the
week, as we stated on Tuesday, the
defendants moved the Court for bills
Of particulars to each charge. This
motion was readily granted by the
Court and the plaintiff was ordered to
file the same before December 10Th,
the day on which said petitions were
set for a hearing. When Wednesday
came the defendants were in Court,
in person and by their counsel, but
the plaintiff came not. In the morn
ing he was called but he did not
answer. Judge Mason then adjourn
ed the proceedings until 1870 o'clock
that afternoon. At which time Mr..
Harry Shaw spoke for the plaintiff
and asked a continuance until next
Saturday. Mr.. Shaw disclaimed be-
ing an attorney for the plaintiff and
said he was asked to make the motion
he did. The defendants made no
objection to the continuance, but
announced, that they waived the
right for bills of particulars on We'd
nesday, they would insist upon hay-
ing them on Saturday. When the
papers were demanded, it was found
that William HI. Martin had gotten
them from the Clerk for the purpose
OF preparing the bills of particulars
several days before and had not re-
turned them. A rule was issued
against Mr.. Martin requiring him
to return the papers, and when the
Sheriff went to serve the rule, it
was found that he had left the town.
His wife does not seem to know his
whereabouts, and yesterday she was
packing her household efforts pre-
paratory to her taking her little fam
lily to her friends in Pennsylvania.
1t will be remembered that on the
goth inst Martin would have been
tried for felony, and he went away,
ii indeed he is gone, to continue that
case, and not to interfere with the
prosecution of these petitions and
doubtless his keeping the papers was
an oversight. Whether he has left
or not, he certainly is in hiding, for
the officers cannot find him to get a
personal service of the rule. The
petition will come up on Saturday in
some form.

DIVINE HEALER IN TOWN.
Schraeder is Here and Says He Has just
Come from Forty Days Fast

schraeder, the divine healer, is in
town. He arrived here from New York
Yesterday afternoon in all the glory of
his black silk robes and yellow sash,
and within few minutes after taking
his lodgings at 131 Meadow street be-
gan to receive people suffering from all
sorts of ailments, imaginary and other
wise During the twenty minutes that
a reporter, who called on him, remained
six persons had been received and that
only an hour after his arrival in town.
The alleged healing is done rapidly,
each case requiring about minute of
the doctors" time. The process is
simple and swift. 1t consists Of Schraed-
er laying his hands on the patients
head and chest. After this Is done he
takes the patients handkerchief and
blesses 1t, instructing the ailing patient
to rub the afflicted part with the hand
kerchief thus blessed. To increase the
potency of the blessing he stamps his
name on the handkerchief with a rub
ber stamp, which he carries for that
purpose. He charges nothing for the
supposed healing process, but casually
remarked to reporter that If he were
offered a little change to help pay his
expenses it would not be refused. He
says that he has just come from a fast
of forty days and forty nights in the
mountains of New Mexico, near Socor-
ro. He says he has tasted in all three
times for the same length of time
Schraeder says that he began healing
when he was thirteen years old, but did
not make a business of 1t until 1896
He says that his power is an in
spired gift, and he exercises it for the
good of humanity. AS he said this,
however, a movement caused coins to
chink somewhere in the folds of his
robe. He says that he never went to
school day in his life. He expects to
remain in New Haven ten days.

by the fact that tomorrow is the sew
enty-siXth anniversary of the raising
by the Greek standard of the cross
against the crescent, which led to Gre
clan independence of Turkish rule. 1t
was generally thought that the remem-
brance of the war of 1921 would lead
the Greek troops to commit some overt
act that would lead to open hostilities
against the Turkish forces on the from
tier, and it is this that the proclama-
tion of the crown prince is designed to
prevent. The order says:
''In view of the great anniversary to
be celebrated tomorrow, 1 order all the
troops under my command to display
the utmost self-restraint and not to al
low themselves to be carried away by
remembrances of the glorious day. I
am sure my orders will be respected"

RANKES'T KIND OF P0PULISM
WHAT SENATOR ALIEN CALLS SENA-
TOR CHANDLER'S BILL.
1t is Bill to Abolish Competition in
Trades and Productions and is Similar
TO the Proposed Pooling Law-Relief for
Mississippi Flood sufferers-Inquiry In
to Civil Service Methods.

TO the Proposed Pooling Law-Relief for
to Civil Service Methods.
Washington, April 5.-The senate
resolution offered some time ago. in
structing the committee on civil service
to investigate the case of the discharge
of employees from the bureau Of animal
industry in South Omaha, Neb., for
mere political reasons, and also one Of
fered to-day for like investigation of
the dismissal of eighty-five colored
persons from the bureau of engraving
and printing in Washington for no
other cause than that of color.
A joint resolution for the use OF all
available supplies of tents, blankets,
food and medicine and for the purchase
of such further supplies as may be nee
essary for the relief of the sufferers by
the mississippi floods, was introduced
by Mr.. Bate and was passed unani-
mously
A bill was introduced by Mr.. Chand-
Ter "abolishing competition in trade
and productions, and authorizing COM
binations to enable merchants, manu-
facturers and producers Of commodl-
ties, subject to interstate commerce, TO
maintain prices and make profits, not
withstanding business depressions.
Mr.. Chandler said he would not press
this bill unless an effort was made TO
pass the Foraker pooling bill, allowing
railroads to combine.
"If congress abolished railroad COM
petition said the senator, sit might as
we'll abolish all other competition.
Mr.. Chambers bill consists of one
new section and the changing OF every
other section of the pooling bill so as
to conform to the first.
The conditions are identical with
those formulated for the railroads in
the pooling bill, relative to the fixing
of the tariffs, their submission to the
interstate commerce commission, etc.
Mr. Chandler has changed the text OF
the pooling bill only where it was nec-
essary to substitute the business with
which his bill deals for the railroad
business mentioned by Mr.. Foraker s
bill.
There was some discussion as TO the
reference of the bill, during the course
of which the bill was characterized by
Mr.. Allen as "the rankest kind of popu-
lism." Mr.. Allen added that "in the
palmiest days of populism no man was
ever wild enough or long-haired enough
to introduce a bill of that kind
Senator Cullom introduced the anti
scalping bill substantially as it was
reported by the interstate commerce
commission in the last congress.
