Anderson were arrested on an embezzle-

uniting magistrate and their presence
in court noted. Civil suits have also
been commenced against ex-Auditor
Nipple and his bondsmen for $4,000
for fees collected by the auditors Office
and not turned into the state treasury.
Civil suit has also been commenced
against Auditor Mayhem for the same
cause for 81, 800.
The theory upon which these suits
are brought is that all the fees collected
by the insurance department Of the
state auditors office for work performed
by an employe of the Office paid by the
state, belongs not only in good morals,
but in law as we'll, to the state.
Governor Lee has employed counsel
to assist in pushing the criminal prose-
cutions, as well as to push the civil suits
in the case of Mayhem and Nipple. AS
both sides are anxious to have the cases
pushed to a finish as rapidly as possible,
they will in all probability, come before
the November term Ct the circuit court.

NAY CAUSE A SPLIT.

B,yanites Opposed to Carter Harrison
Speaking for Van Wyck.
New YORK, Oct. 23.-The Press says:
Carter Harrison's intention to invade
this city with his cabinet and the Cook
County Marching club and speak here
for Judge Van Wyck on Oct. 20, is
likely to disrupt the Bryan forces Of the
West, according to the statements made
by friends of Henry George.
The George movement in Greater
New York has been receiving substan.
tial financial and moral recognition from
Western Democrats. The announce.
ment that the mayor Of Chicago, who
was elected by the Bryan workers in
Cook county, had been induced to come
to New York has aroused the bitter re-
sentiment of the local George men.
William J. Strong Of Chicago. a prom.
inent lawyer and president Of the Allied
Bryan Silver clubs. is in town working
in Henry Georges interests. He was
30 excited over the report that Mayo,
Harrison was coming to Tammary'f

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 23.-The fever
situation improved to some extent here.
At Z o'clock there were only 30 new
cases and 2 deaths reported to the board
Of health. The weather during the
morning was cool and reports from be-
low New Orleans are to the effect that
there was a light frost. Colonel I.
Dellis of Governor Fosters staff said to
a representative of the Associated Press
that h. had received advices that there
had been frost in Bernard parish and
on the outskirts of the city.
The deposit was slight, however, and
probably not sufficient to stamp out
the disease here. It is possible, how.
ever, that the fewer cases are a result
traceable to the change H. the temper.

that the fever will continue here for
any length of time. Business is greatly
depressed, hut it is confidently believed
that with the approach of cold weather
the fever will die out, apd New Or

had lost through the fright of the past.

ITO the Public-The result Of my

lawyer, Judge Vincent, was bitterly
opposed to my doing SO, and because he
advised me 1t was not necessary. l am
grateful tor the tremendous change in
public sentiment in my favor, and time
will demonstrate that l am not only an
innocent but a very grievously wronged
man."

Two Fatally and Ten Seriously Injured at
Detroit.
DETROIT, Mich, Oct. 23.-The boiler
in the Detroit Cabinet Company's fac
tory exploded at 1880 a. m. with fatal
and disastrous effects. At least two
men were fatally injured, one of whom
has since died, and ten more were more
or less seriously injured. The cause Of
the explosion is not yet ascertained.
Both the front and rear ends of the four
ends of the building were blown en-.
tirely out and the brick walls are in
ruins. No fire resulted from the explo.
sion. The conclusion was so great that
the whole northeastern part of the city
was shaken and many windows were
broken. The damaged building is a
brick structure $50 feet square, four

Museum Manager Ready to Sign

Prisoner Makes a Sworn State
ment Explicitly Declaring
His Innocence,

CHICAGO, Oct. 23.--Judge Tuthill,
States Attorney Deneen, Assistant
States Attorney McEwen, ex-Judge
Vincent and Attorney Phalen had an
informal conference lasting over an
hour in the judges private chamber.
Luetgert was brought into court and
the report went abroad that a formal
motion to admit him to bail would i'm.
mediately follow the conference. When
the conference was over Luetgert was
taken back t oj Jail. George Middleton,
the manager OF a museum, was IN the
criminal court, and it was said he was
ready to schedule $4,000 and to sign
Luetgert's bonds if the noted prisoner
would place himself On exhibition at a
salary Of $500 per week. Luetgert is
not favorably impressed with the prop.
osition, as he believes it would injure
his business IN the future.
No agreement was reached at the
conference. States Attorney Deneen
vigorously opposed the demand that the
prisoner be released on bail, and the
upshot Of the argument was that no
formal demand for the prisoners adj
mission to bail was made.
Ex.Judge Vincent said he would let
the matter rest for two or three days.
May Never BE Tried Again.
Speaking Of the prospects OF a new
trial, Judge Tuthill said: II fancy
Luetgert will never again be tried in a
court in this county. That is a ques.
ton which must be decided upon when
the state gets ready to make another
move. From the wide publicity, how
ever, which the newspapers have given
the evidence in the case, and marked
attention which it has attracted
in all parts of the country and the
frenzied interest which the people OF
Chicago have taken in the outcome Of
the trial since the case went to til
jury, l hardly think that the prosecu-
ton can find IL men who have not
already tried the accused in their own
minds and either acquitted OF convicted
him. That is the problem confronting
the states attorney now, and unless he
solves it by producing the men, OF
course Luetgert will 60 free.
