THE OTHER HALF.
Judge Hunt Decides That the SUI
pervisors Cannot Pay Tt.

In addition to his decision in the
bridge case yesterday, Judge Hunt also
rendered a decision in the case of F..
J. Croly against the Supervisors to pre-
vent them from paying the second S15,
600 installment to the railroad company
in Croly's favor.
THE only additional point that may
be considered is" says Judge Hunt,
the claim OF counsel that it is not APP
parent that the Board of Supervisors
will allow the demand for the second
insta4lnent Of the purchase price of
the bridge, when presented, and it is
claimed that, to enjoin them from &C
ton would be usurping their power
This &C Intention, however, cannot be
supported. in view of the fact that the
answer does not deny the averment
contained in the amended complaint
herein. that if this injunction is not
issued the Board of Supervisors will

BY A LOCOMOTIVE.
Shocking Suicide of an Unknown
Steamboat Deck Hand
Yesterday.

A man who is unknown to Coroner
Clark and all who have viewed the
remains. committed suicide about half
past Z o'clock yesterday morning in a
most sensational and shocking man
ner.
He walked across Front street at the
foot of n, and stood quietly by the
railroad track while yard engine No.
1,044 was approaching, and when it
was within a few yards of him the
stranger threw himself upon the track
with his neck across the outside rail.
In an instant the ponderous locomo-
tive had passed and the man was
dead.
The head was entirely severed from
the trunk, and the cut was as smooth
as any ever made by the guillotine.
The man was apparently about 30
years of age All that is known of
him is that he had been employed as
a deck hand on board the river steam

quently the name of the suicide could
not be ascertained.
1t was learned that prior to his death
the man had been drinking in some of
the Front-street saloons, but as he
was a stranger nobody seems to have
paid much attention to him.
Officer Ash was on the spot a few
moments after the suicide. but before
he arrived some one had picked up
the severed head and placed it along
side the body.
Coroner Clark was notified and took
charge of the remains, but up to late
hour last night had been unable to
discover the name or former residence

Kansas City, Jan. 20-Following the
signed statement made last Wednesday
by John +. Kennedy, the allege! lead
er of the Blue Cut Chicago and Alton
train robbers, in which he charged that
a conspiracy to convict him exists, facts
have developed which tend to strength
en- his claims. Soon after Kennedy's
arrest Jim Flynn and George Bowlin,

in custody, admitted their connection
with both robberies. and claimed that

In his statement Kennedy alleged that
a hope of securing the reward offered
by the express company made a motive
for the conspiracy, which, the Glen
dale farmers now assert. was entered

Passes Fifty-two Of Them.
Washington, Jan. 20.-The session Of
the senate yesterday was without in
cidert. Turpie spoke against the
Nicaragua canal bill, and the reading
of the legislative appropriation bill was
completed with the exception of Sec
tions making provision for the con-
gressional library, which were passed
over temporarily in the absence of SEN
ators interested in the subject.
The old soldiers had a field day in
the house. Under q special order the
day was devoted to the consideration
OF private pension bills. OF the 800 on
the calendar fifty were disposed of during
the five hours session. Among those
favorably acted upon We're bills to grant
pensions to Major General Julius H.
Stahel at the rate of 500 per month:
the widow Of Major General Erastus
B. Tyler, at SIS; Hannah E. Rodgers,
daughter of a revolutionary soldier, at
S12, and the widow of the late General
Matthew NJ. Trumbell, Of Iowa, at slOo
per month.
There was a pathetic incident in con-
nection with the first bill called up. 1t
proposed to grant a pension of s12 per
month to Margaret O'Donnell, a volun-
teer army nurse who devoted her SER
vices from 1925 to the wounded of
the Twenty-second regiment of New
York Light artillery. Her claim has
been pending before congress for several
years. Yesterday when the bill was
brought up Thomas of Michigan moved
that it be laid on the table. THE relief
carried by the bill for this poor woman"
said he, comes too late. Our commit
tee has just received word that the ben
eficiary is dead"

POOR OUTLOOK FOR BUILDINGS.
Speaker Reed Tells n COMMITTEES Tba
Government Cash Is Scarce.


Washington, Jan. "a committee
consisting Of Messrs. Hicks of Penn
sylvania, Hooker of New York, Herman
of Oregon and Henry of Indiana, waited
on Speaker Reed and presented a peti-
ton of 20S members of the house ask
ing that time be given for the con-
sideration of twenty-five bills on the
house calendar providing for public
buildings in various parts of the coun-
try. This committee pointed out the
necessity of these buildings and said
that it was evident that a majority of
the house desired their consideration.
Speaker Reed asked them if they were
aware that the government was run
ming behind in the matter of revenue
at the rate of S5S,000,0O0 a year. 1t was
question of the ability of the gov
ernment to meet and pay it's obligation.
The committee replied that he bills did
not appropriate a dollar. but only fixed
the maximum of cost of the buildings,
the appropriations being left in the
hands of future congresses.
Reed said he did not approve Of this
method of mortaging the revenues of
the government, to which the comrniI.ee
replied that they could not mortgage
what did not exist, and thought that
the subject Of making appropriations
could be safely left to future congresses.
The committee came away feeling that
it was not a cheerful.
