WAR NOTES.
Secretary Sherman Resigns.

Another resignation from the cabinet
occurred Monday when the venerable
secretary of state, John Sherman, handed
his resignation OF the premiership to the
President. This resignation is to take
effect at as early date as may be con-
venient to the President, and with it Mr..
Sherman retires from public life after a
service of over forty years, embracing
the house OF representatives, the United
States senate, the secretaryship OF the
treasury and the secretaryship OF state.
The reason for the resignation is the con-
dition of the secretary's health. which is
now impaired, as the result of years OF
devotion to the public service and the
arduous abors Of lifetime, added to
age, the venerable secretary icing now
within few days OF seventy-five years
oil age. The secretary's resignation was
rendered in simple note to the Presi-
dent asking that it take effect from the
close of today. The secretary was seen
BY an Associated Press reporter before
he went to the cabinet meeting, but de-
clined to make any statement, beyond
saying to the reporter that he was carry
ing with him his resignation and that he
might have something to say later in the
day. Judge Day, the assistant secretary,
has been appointed secretary OF state,
and will accept.
Missionaries Leave Spain.
The American Board OF Commissioners
for Foreign Missions received despatch
Friday from its missionaries who were
located at San Sebastian Spain, in
charge of the International Institute
for Girls. 1t was dated from Barritz.
France, announcing that the members OF
the American Mission have successfully
moved to that place, which, for the pres
ent, will be their address. The mission.
aries had been instructed by the board
to take no risks, but to withdraw from
Spain whenever it seemed advisable to
do so, owing to the hostile feeling of the
people about them. This message was
from Rev. William Fl. Gulck, who has
been iu Spain since 1871. 1t gave no de-
tails as to what prompted the change OF
location. The missionaries associated
with Mr.. Gulick are Miss Catherine H..
Barbour of Canton Centre, Conn, Miss
Alice H. Busbee of Derby, VT, Miss Anna
F. Webb of Oxford, Pa, Miss Mary l..
Page of Haverhill, Mass, Miss Susan
Huntington of Norwich, Conn. Mrs.
Gulick has been in the United States
during he past year, and has made her
temporary home al Auburndale, Mass.

Let Old Glory Float.

The stars and stripes have been I'M
furled here by several patriotic citizens
since the passage of the resolutions call
ing on Spain to get out of Cuba. This is
right. Old Glory should be generally
foated and kept floating from public and
private buildings in st. Johnsbury to
evidence the patriotism of her inhabi-
tants.
The Knights of Pythias have pur.
chased flag and it now waves sugges
lively from the tower of their building
The Court House, the Athenaum, the
Academy, and every other building o.
public import should be similarly deco

under arrest. II the officer had simply done
his duty, and made the arrest as he should
have done under the law, and nothing more,
and the confession had been made volun-
tarily, 1t would have been admissible. But
when the officer went outside and did
things not sanctioned by law, that put a
different aspect on the case, and 1t was
therefore inadmissible, as It was then made,
at least 10 a certain extent. under duress.
Mr.. Davis then addressed the court In
answer to Mr.. Chambers contention, In
sisting that the statement made by Miss
Seller was confession Of participation in
a crime, and that, furthermore, was OBJ
tained while she was under duress. The
case. Mr.. Davis said was one Of the most
outrageous that had ever come before the
courts Of the city, and had aroused much
discussion In the public press, for which
reason the officials wanted to have 1t put
in the best possible manner. Mr.. Davis
scored the detectives for the methods they
had pursued in locking up the woman and
keeping her under duress for the purpose
Of extorting a confession from her. 1t was
simply outrageous, and the woman would
have been a hundred times better off had
she been arrested as she should have been
been taken into court. and secured counsel
and there would then have been no reason
for her saying anything.
He did not blame the officers for their ac-
ton, as they only had carried out the or
ders Of their superiors, but the system
was outrageous, was damnable. Mr.. Davis
said that already three preliminary exam
nations had been held by these officers in
an effort to wiring out sufficient evidence
on which to hold the GIRL all of which was
contrary to law, and was an outrage on the
personal liberties of the citizen. All over
the country, he averred 1t was be-
coming the practice of courts 20 declare
against all such so-called confessions, and
only three months ago the Judge of the
United States Court had called Deputy
Sheriff into his court and told him that no
such confessions would be received in fu-
ture
The Police Department was the executive
branch Of the government. and 1t was no
part Of its duties to trench on the Judi
cial branch. This fact should be emphasize
ed, and the court would do the greatest
possible good to the Police Department by
setting the seal of his disapproval on such
Illegal and unwarranted usurpation of au-
thority, and bringing this fact strongly 10
the attention of the head Of the depart
ment.
In further discussion as to whether the
woman was under arrest at the time Of
making the confession, the court incident
ally remarked that he did not think there
was any doubt that the woman was actually
under arrest from the time she was firs,
locked up.
Mr.. Rush continued to read a long line

disapproval but actual condemnation of

statement made by Miss Setter in the pres
ence of Detectives Bradish and Flammer
and Mrs. Gray. This statement had been
Transcribed on the typewriter and submit
ted to her. She had made several correc-
tions, and then swore to 1t In Justice Nor
rison's court. The statement corroborated
in detail the testimony of Phillips. 1t was
offered In evidence by the prosecution, to
which the defense objected. The court re-
served his decision on the admission Of this
statement.
At the afternoon session Detective Flam-
mer was the first witness examined. He
corroborated the testimony of Phillips, and
also told OF conversation that had been

Patrolman and Acting Detective Ross
Phillips was the first witness, and was
asked regarding a confession the woman Is
alleged to have made to the detective de-

Rush spoke against the admission Of such
testimony, holding that as 1t had been OBJ

It was not voluntary In Its character. as
contemplated by the statutes. Deputy Dis
trct Attorney Chambers replied to this
argument.
In answer to question by the court, Mr..

Phillips then stated that Miss Seller Ind
stated to Detective Flammer and himself
that man named Allen had given her

and Los Angeles streets. This was the
first conversation. On the second CONVEX
station. the day following, she had correct
ed her former statement, and stated that
Mr.. o. b. johnson had given her the money
In his office about four or five days after
the alleged robbery at Mrs. Kennedy's.
Phillips then continued, saying that the
woman told him that johnson had come
out to see her about two or three weeks
before the robbery, and then had gone out
to Westlake Park. Here she had brought
up the subject by referring to the robbery
of Judge Smiths house, when she had told
him about the Kennedys keeping money
In the house. He had asked her where the
money was kept, and she had told him, at
the same time telling him how to get into
the house.
After the robbery she went to Johnston s
office. and had told him about the robbery,
when he asked her who they suspected.
She told him herself or some of the neigh
bors, and then she asked him II he had
taken 1t. He replied that no one had seen
him take It, and that 1t could not be proved.
She had then told Johnson that she wanted
to go to Catalina, when he had given her
$165, and told her to keep her mouth shut.
This was about five days after the rob-
berry.
