REFUTES CONSPIRACY CHARGE
Prosecutor Of Matt Quay and Ex-
state Treasurer Haywood Says IT
II Move of simple Justice.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 19.-District At
torney Graham today filed in the prothono-
tary's ONCE of the supreme court the
answer OF the commonwealth to the petit
ton OF United States Senator M. s. Quay,
his son Richard r. Quay and former State
Treasurer Haywood in which the defend
ants asked the supreme court for a rule to
show cause why q writ OF certiorari should
not be issued to tax up the record OF ex-
animation of the case in which the three
defendants are charged with conspiracy to
use the state funds on deposit in the Peo-
pies bank. True bills Of indictments were
returned against the defendants and their
trial was fixed for Monday, December II,
but on December 10, Justices Green and
Williams Of the supreme court granted the
rule asked for by the defendants and hxed
January 1 as the time for hearing the argu-
ment.
The district attorney says that the state
ment that the defendants could not obtain
a fair trial Is "scandalous and untruthful
and a gross imputation upon the twelve
judges Of the Philadelphia courts" and he
declares it to be untrue, as charged in the
petition, that the prosecutions were in
spired by Judge James Gay Gordon, as al
legged.

DEATH RECORD.
DR.. Thomas Mckee Brown.

NEW YORK. Dec. 19.-Dr. Thomas Nc
Kee Brown. for twenty-eight years rector
Of the Protestant Episcopal Church of st.
Mary the Virgin, died today Of pneumonia.
DR.. Brown was a leader in the ritualistic
movement in the Episcopal church, his at
titude so antagonizing Bishop Potter that
for a time the latter refused to confirm
classes in st. Mary the Virgins church.
DR.. Brown introduced orchestral music, the
supplied choir and altar candles and in
stalled a confessional. He taught his con-
gregation to cross themselves and kneel
when passing the altar and to use holy
water. When the new church Of st. Mary
the Virgin was opened Bishop Potter was
present to dedicate it. The classes from
St. Mary's were then confirmed at st.
Thomas and Father Brown's triumph wa
complete.

To svstemixe Relief Work.

Chief OF Police Bixby's scheme for the
organization of a duly appointed beard OF
charity was endorsed at the citizens meet
ing held last night in Odd Fellows hall for
the purpose Of d~evising a plan to systemize
the relief work among the deserving needy.
The meeting. which was attended by some
nifty ministers and men and women prom
inent in charity relief work was called to
order by Mayor Jennings. who briefly ex-
planned the purposes for which 1t had been
called. AS the mayor had to attend the
meeting OF the city council he called Attor-
ney James McCabe to preside. There was
some opposition to Chief Bixby's scheme on
the grounds that 1t might possibly lead to

UNION DEPOT TALK STARTS
Coming Of the Illinois Central and Great
Western Suggests the Topic.
CITY COUNCIL WILL Be ASKED TO LEAD
Advocates of the Plan Want Some
Authoritative Head - Arguments
Against the Uniting Of All Roads
at One Terminal Station.

The coming Of the Illinois Central and
Great Western railroads into Council Bluffs
has revived the agitation for a grand union
depot In the city and Mayor Jennings and
the city council are expected to take the
initiative in the near future in the forma-
ton Of q committee to take the matter
up with the railroads. Those who urge
that Council Bluffs should have one big
central union depot assert that not only
would 1t be a great convenience for the
travelling public in general. but that II
would also be q money saver for the rail
roads as the expense Of maintaining one
large union depot would be less than each
road having its own local depot. 1t IL sug-
gested that the Union Pacific transfer would
make an admirable union depot, having. at
1t has, a large hotel, or IL this was consid-
cred by the other roads too far from the
center Of town, a more central location neal
Broadway could be secured.
Opponents Of the plan point to the fact
that a number Of men employed at the sew
eral local depots would be thrown out o.
employment; that with one union depot II
would be possible for people to go through
Council Bluffs, change cars and never SEA
the town, while with several depots the
travelling public occasionally gets q chance
to spend some hours In the city and tt
visit points Of interest. always carrying
away a good impression.
The Illinois Central u said to be plan.
ming to erect a local depot In the vicinity
Of Broadway and Thirteenth street which
Is to cost SAC, 900, and the Rock Island rail.
way has made public the announcement
that 1t intends to replace its frame depot
on South Main street next spring with
$50, 900 brick structure. The Omaha Bridg,
and Terminal railway 10 figuring on a depo
at Ninth street and Union avenue and tn,
Great Western will when 1t builds in her,
also need a local depot. The Omaha & st
Louis road has no local passenger depot
and will probably use the one to be erected
by the criminal company II 1t decides t
enter Omaha over the latter company
bridge.
Mayor Jennings has promised to brint
the matter before the city council at tn
regular meeting in January.
