the conclusion that 1t would be the best
for me, but not before all is done to gain

Perhaps It would be the better way
and it would be easy to accomplish it.

Sheriff Doht, in whose sole charge the
prisoners are. has permitted Mrs. Mack
to have knitting needles. scissors and
other articles in her cell. and he still
maintains that the two attendants who
are continually with the woman would
be enough 10 Illustrate any attempt At

otherwise and he has requested that all
such articles be removed from Mrs.

3 HAD PLENTY OF SOAP.
State Tries to Show LuetEert Did Not
Need TO Make Any.

CHICAGO. oct. THE testimony In
the Luetgert trial yesterday was more
interesting to the general public than
II has been at any time for the last
two weeks. The dry technical evidence
OF the experts gave way TO impeach-
ment evidence offered by the state
against the witnesses for the defense
who stated on the stand that Mrs.
Luetgert had been seen in the vicinity
OF Kenosha, Wis. within a few days
after the murder is said TO have been
committed.
One OF the strongest features In the
rebuttal evidence offered in the trial
WAS the evidence Of Adam BrinlSer,
teamster for a soap factory. 1t was In
reference to the tallOw. grease and
chipped bone which George Eland said
he delivered at the factory on May
and which William Charles testified
was procured as some Of the ingredi-
ents OF soft soap which was TO be made
for the purpose Of thoroughly cleaning
up the big sausage factory. Brinker
said he hauled all the tallow and bone
away from the factory on May 1. He
explained that II was his duty TO do
this once each week, usually the last
day of the week He conveyed the ma
terlal to a soap making firm by which
he was employed. Brinker added that
he knew Mrs Luetgert quite well and
had seen and talked with her just prior
to her disappearance. He said she talk
ed nationally, and that she Gid much of
her own housework. This latter state
ment was In contradiction Of the story
OF Mary Slemmerlng
Deputy Sheriff Frank Moan was call
ed TO the witness stand TO tell about
what he found at the Luetgert sausage
factory on May 4, when he made the
seizure under the foreclosure. He said
that he took possession Of everything
in the grocery store connected with the
factory. He found, among other things,
100 boxes of soap Of different brands.
This point was brought out to impress
upon the jury that Luetgert did not re-
quire the soap It is asserted he pro-
posed making.
Emma Schimpke was recalled TO the
witness stand. and an effort was made
to show by her that all the impeach
ing evidence that had been produced by
the defense on her testimony was the
result OF a Misunderstanding OF her
story.

THE CITY OF FIRES.
Chicago Again the Scene Of q
Big Conhagration.
STOCKYARDS THE PREY 'OF IT,
rhe Blaze Spread TO Neighboring Resi-.
dences, and Altogether There Was n
Hot Time In the oId Town
Last Night.

CHICAGO. Oct. 7.-Fanned by
strong wind from the west, fire that
broke out in the Dexter park pavilion
at the Union stockyards spread TO the
district between Halstead and Union
avenues and Forty-third and Forty
fifth streets, destroying business houses
and residences.
The worst sufferers among the resi-
dents were those living along Haistead
street between Forty-third and Forty
fourth streets. The business houses and
residences being frame structures, fur
nished ready material for the flames,
which ragged for two hours, and thea
yielded to the vigorous work Of the fire
department The total damage TO the
Dexter park pavilion Is estimated at
more than $4,000, but Il may exceed
that sum, as the exact number of horses
burned IN the fire Is not known, and
calculation Of the amount Of feed stored
IN the pavilion is yet to be made
number OF persons were injured durine
the fight with the flames, and one man,
according TO an employee of the stock
yards. was burned to death.
The injured are Patrick Casey, en-
pIoyee OF stockyards not serious; Maui
rice Maloney, fireman, overcome by
smoke and heat, win recover; +. II.
Shearn broken leg; Henry Walsh, en-
ployee OF stockyards, slightly burnedi
william Donahue. fireman. injured by
falling timber, viii recover.
The Dexter Park pavilion stands only
q few Yards southwest of the main
horse market. which is an Immense
frame building covered by a huge dome.
Had the latter building caught fire
II would have meant the destruction OF
the greater portion OF the stockyards.
The pavilion contained 500 horses, and
Il was with the greatest difficulty that
they We're rescued. Patrick Casey an
employee OF the stockyards, discovered
the fire. and. after turning in the alarm,
ran with three companions into the pa
vlIion to release the horses Many OF
them were IN pens. and It was an easy
matter to turn them loose, but very
different thing 10 get them out OF the
building.
Casey and his companions narrowly
escaped being trampled TO death by the
maddened brutes Casey was knocked
down once and badly bruised, and Hen.
~ Walsh, who was also trying TO re-
lease the horses. was injured In the
same manner.
ever 1t was found impossible TO get q
single horse TO leave the pavilion until
the men by main force dragged one
through the doorway. ana then th'
others followed rapidly. The flames
spread so quickly that not all Of then
could be saved, but It is not thought
that many were destroyed.
The chief losses resulting from the
fire are as follows;
Dexter Park pavilion, consisting o
eight barns, 1000.
Armour Il Co.'s sheds near pavilion
$500.
Feed in pavilion. $4,000.
Freight cars belonging 10 the Unioi
Stockyards and Transit company ant
the Chicago and Alton railroad, $1,000
Twenty eight residences and store
were damaged by the flames, the los
in each particular case being small.

A Tammany Lender Bolts.

Colonel William l.. Brown has re-
signed from Tammany Hall. He sent
the following letter to John c. Sheehan:
Il took a place on the executive COM
mittee of Tammany Hall by your solicit
tation and as your friend. While you
were leader was faithful and consid-
crate of your unselfsh and pure Demo-
cratic motives. To me you have been
a gentleman whom shall always trust
and respect. You have apparently sur
rendered your leadership. The present
conditions in Tammany Hall do not, In
my opinion. justify my continuance In
active membership in the organization.
I am a Democrat. pure and simple; l
love my party. 1t has been the pride
OF my life. and my best energies have
been devoted TO it. I hope for its sue
cess and glory, and shall ever be de-
voted to it's cause. Cowardice 1 despise,
and selfish interest in politics is not a
part of my nature. 1 believe that no
personal motives should dominate; no
mans man should be named as can
didate for any office.
Integrity, purity. honesty, capability
and devotion TO Democratic principles
are the requirements for official posi-
ton, in my judgment. give to you
my compliments and trust for the best
and wish for Democratic victory upon
the basis that have named,
Il herewith tender my resignation as
a member of the executive committed
of Tammany Hall"

SETH Low TALKS.
Addresses a Mass Meeting In Cooper
Union.


NEW YORK, Oct Seth Low last
night publicly accepted the nomination
OF the Citizens union for mayor Of the
Greater New York at a large and en-
thusiastic mass meeting held in Cooper
Union here. The place was packed with
men and women, all seemingly in favor
Of the movement for good municipal
government and opposed to the draw
ing OF national or state issues into the
present local campaign.
Admission to the hall was by ticket
aud the police were a trihe too strict
in enforcing their orders Mr.. Low,
when he arrived. was unfortunately
minus the necessary cardboard. He
was confronted at the entrance TO the
Union by big policeman who was GER
tainly not a graduate Of Columbia col
lege. or he would instantly have rec
ognized the standard bearer Of the
Citizens union. 1t was with much
hesitancy that the bluecoat, who had
turned hundreds Of others away, per-
mtted the candidate for mayor Of the
consolidated city to enter the building,
where he was received with round aft
er round OF cheers.
Charles Stewart Smith called the
meeting to order and made the OPEN
ing speech, which was well received.
The meeting passed a resolution in
dorsing all the candidates on the Citi-
zens' union ticket.
When Mr.. Low rose to speak, he was
received with applause.
Mr.. Low, in opening his speech. re.
ferred to the Importance of the problem
now before the voters namely, to install
over an immense territory an entirely
new city government which shall be a
capable and honest one. The new may
or must be man entering on his office
with this single purpose, and not one
whose primary obligation is toward
some other object. Party spoil should
be out of the question.
Mr.. Low then made a few remarks
on the other candidates and their en-
tering the contest on the silver ques-
tion. He criticised the dragging of ma
tional issues into the local campaign
He had a good word, as illustrating his
contention for nonpartisan government
for Colonel Warnings administration OF
the street cleaning department, The
| doctrine of nonpartisan government, h'
claimed, is in this contest only upheld
by the Citizens union. Tammany, h'
remarked. had followed the same
course, but this was only because Tam

under the conditions that prevail II

He continued by condemning machin
influence in politics. The mayoralt
candidate should feel himself, and no
any organization behind him, RESPONSE
BILE for his mistakes Of judgment an
even misdeeds. after the Office has bee
won. Then he INDUCED in few obser
vations at the expense Of Mr. Croke

BRITAIN REFUSES.
WIN Not Enter Sealing Conference with
Russia and Japan.

LONDON, oct. THE British foreign
Office has communicated to United
States Embassador Hay the final deci-
sion that the government of Great
Britain must refuse to take part In
any sealing conference with repre-
sentatlves Of Russia and Japan.
The British government is willing to
confer with the United States alone,
but asserts that Russia and Japan are
not interested in the Bering sea seals
TO a degree emitting them to be repre-
sented at the Washington conference.
The British government does not sug-
gest any date for a conference with the
United States.
It is thought probable in London that
Great Britain's withdrawal will result
in two meetings. one between the Unit
ed States, Russia and Japan. and the
other between the United States, Great
Britain and Canada.
