KENTUCKY DEMOCRATS
Call on Gold Bug Lindsay to Resign
His Office

FRANKFORT, KY, Jan. 27.-After a
hot debate today, the lower house of the
Kentucky legislature adopted a sub
stitute resolution, offered by Repre-
sentative Nelson, of Harding, calling on
United States Senator Lindsay to re-
sign ifhe cannot support the Democratic
platform. During the debate such words
as s'party traitor" ''recreant to his
trust" and "Goldbug' were freely used.
Representative Desha, Silver Demo-
crat from Harrison county, openly de-
nounced Senator Lindsay as a traitor
to his party and called upon him to re-
turn home and face an outraged con-
stituency. Others who made hot
speeches along this line were Repre-
sentatives Trimble, Nelson, Petty, Orr
and Hickman. The resolution was
adopted by viva voce vote.
On motion of Representative Pulliam
it was declared in order that the origi-
nal resolution, introduced by Repre-
sentative Saunders of Union, be passed.
The senate resolution was then passed
by vote of So to 35, Messrs. Orr, Nelson,

course of Senator Lindsay.

A SQUEEZE COMING
The Letter Clique Holds the Wheat
Surplus

CHICAGO, Jan. 27.-"Basing our esti-
mates on the government figures. we
think we now own every bushel of sur
plus wheat in this country"
G. Z. French, the active manager of
the big wheat combination, was speak
ing for himself, and Joseph Letter, who
is the visible head of the Clique" He
said:
According to the most reliable esti-
mates obtainable, We think there is not
more than Is, 900, 900 bushels of wheat un-
accounted for. Scattered over different
parts of the country we have holdings of
at least that amount, so we can safely
claim to have possession of all the sur
plus"
Added to the government estimate of
$50 O00, 900 bushels for last years crop,
the 30,OO00C0 bushels carried over from
the crop of 96 gave Mr.. French his basis
of 60,OOO,0 900 bushels as the original sup
ply This he proceeded to dispose of as
follows:
Exported to date, 145 bushels; esti-
mated necessary for home consump-
ton, $40, ,000, 900 bushels; estimated neces-
sary for seed, 10000, 900 bushels, making
IA total of 545, 900, 900 bushels comfortably
put away. The difference between the
original estimated supply and the
amount accounted for is 100000 BUSH
els comfortably put away. The differ
ence between the original estimated
supply and the amount accounted for is
Is, 100000 bushels. This is the amount
of wheat, which, according to Mr..
furnishes the key to the situation, and
on which the "clique" has put price of
ten cents in advance of the Chicago
price for May wheat, whatever that may
be, from day to day.
1.-THE situation is simply this" de-
clared Mr. French. Everything goes to
show that this country has sent abroad
more than it's exportable surplus. We
think wheat has been oxer-exported to
the extent of $4,000, 900 or 20,0O0000 BUSH
els, and the United States is the country

SHOT HER ON THE STREET

her mother was living with blacksmith
named Arthur; that her home was any
thing but comfortable, and that her
mother was not fit to guard her or any
one else. This somewhat astounding
charge seemed so incongruous for girl
to make against her own mother that
the case was continued for investigation
1t then developed that there existed a
basis of fact for Kitty's statement. but
she could not thereby exonerate herself,
and the court ordered her committed to
Whittier. A philanthropic lady, how
ever. named Mrs C. B. Gibbs, offered to
take the girl in her own care, and the
Judgment was ordered suspended dur
ing Kitty's good behavior. In about six
weeks Mrs. Gibbs reported to the court
that Kitty had left her home and some
talk was made of obtaining a bench war;
rant for the girls arrest in order that
the Judgment of the court be enforced.
Inasmuch, however, as the girl had
meantime reached the legal age of Is,
no action was taken.
The couple had frequent quar-
rels, for all of her affection
was not bestowed upon Arthur. He beat
her so severely last spring that she had

reconciled, however. soon afterward and
at his suggestion the woman sold out
her furniture and came to this city with
him.
That was on July I'd, and the two took
rooms at the Chicago house on Main
street as husband and wife. Arthur, as
before stated, secured employment at
the Pacific Carriage works and his mis-
tress worked for time at McAlister's S
marmalade factory on Broadway, across
from where Franklin enters that thor
oughfare. The business at that place
did not give her steady work and she
secured employment at different resi-
dences to do housework. The last place
where she was employed in that capac-
ity was at the residence of DIR. Ralph
Hagan. There was nothing in her con-
duct to indicate that she was the kind
of woman she was, and as she was q
good worker she could have retained
her position, but, instead, she quit work

quently admitted to her room during
Arthur's absence. Two months ago he
secured employment at the San Joaquin
ranch and left the city. Before he de-
parted he promised the woman that he
would marry her as soon as he returned
| He was away until last Friday and dur
| ing that time he did not write to her
nor did she to him. Immediately upon
his return he sent messenger to where
| Mrs. Ransom was employed The note
| was as follows:
| Il am back. When and at what place
can see you tonight?"
| In penning the following reply the
woman little thought she was sealing
| her doom, and she wrote:
You can't see me anywhere. do not
want to see you again. 1 will have
nothing to do with you.'
| The notes were not signed, but both
of them understood where they came
| from. To the woman Arthurs note
meant a disturbance of the relations
which she had assumed with Jack Ken
nedy at time when those relations
were most pleasant to her, for Kennedy
was providing literally for her support
and the pair were about to go to house.
keeping together. To Arthur her reply
was as bombshell. He had been away
two months and had looked forward to
a return when he could resume his guilty
relations. In his ignorant mind there
was what might be termed love for her,
but it was a selfish love, and to thwart
it meant to arouse the tiger of jealousy
which in him was merciless.
PLANNING THE MURDER
He did not despair at the first at
tempt, but on Saturday sent her an
other pleading note, containing no
threats, in which he asked for an ex-
PLANTATION OF her reply. In response she
sent him an even more positive note of
dismissal than the other had been. Then
he began planning to kill her. He took
room at the Chicago house, where the
pair were living, and on Saturday even
ing he met them face to face on the
street Accompanying Kennedy and
the woman was the latter's daughter,
who had been visiting her mother. BY
his own admission Arthur would have
killed them then had he been armed. AS
he had no weapon he decided to make
one more effort toward a reconciliation,
and, stepping up to Mrs. Ransom, he
asked if she would talk with him mo-
mept. She turned upon him and ex-
citedly told him that she did not want to
have anything to do with him, and just
then Kennedy, who was also afraid that
Arthur would use weapon, tried a
bluff game, by telling him that he would
not let him talk with the woman, at the
same time ordering him to leave them.
1T was right then that I made up my
mind to kill them both" said Arthur,
yesterday. II had about decided to do so
before, but thought would give her
another chance. When she said she
would not even speak to mel said to my
self that If she would not live with me
she could not live at ALL"
The next day, Sunday, Arthur saw the
woman again, but he had no opportunity

up to the tragedy, acknowledging that
he had prepared to commit the mArler,
and followed the woman for that pur-
pose. Even the suggestion of the moose
did not worry him, and he declared that
now that the woman is dead he feels re-
lieved. His only regret is that he did
not kill Kennedy also.
A JEALOUS LOVER
The motive for the killing was jeal-
ousy. Arthur had been living with and
keeping the woman for nearly q year,
and up to two months ago. He claims
that he wanted to make her respectable,
and intended to marry her as soon as
sufficient time had elapsed since the
death of his wife, so that attention
would not be called to his haste in TAX
ing unto himself a second wife. In the
meantime, and he declared at the sug-
geston of the woman, she began living
with him as his mistress. Both worked,
Arthur at the Pacific Carriage works
until two months ago, when he went to
the San Joaquin ranch, and she in pri-
yate families as q domestic and at q
marmalade works. None of her en-
ployers knew of her criminal relations
with Arthur, for before them she con-
Quoted herself as quiet, respectable
woman. Arthur, however, learned that
she was intimate at times with other
men, and the couple had frequent quar-
rels. He whipped her several times. He
went to the ranch, and when, after two
months, he returned to find that she
had taken up with another man and re-
fused to resume the former relations
with him, he decided to kill them both.
After days of watching, the opportunity
was presented yesterday, and the mur-
der was the result.
MURDERER AND VICTIM
Arthur is Virginian by birth, and 54
years of age. The woman was a native
of Ohio, and was 40 years old. Both
had lived in this state about fifteen
years. His wife died about fourteen
months ago in Pasadena, leaving him
with four children, one boy and three
girls. The eldest of these is "a. and the
youngest Is. They lived with their
father until his relations with the woman
became notorious in Pasadena, and
then they left him, all going to San
Francisco. The woman separated from
her husband about two years ago, he re-
fusing to live with her on account of her
tOnuneSS IOf Otner men. When Arthur
began keeping her, her husband secured
divorce. She has five children, the
eldest being a girl Of 20 years, and the
youngest boy of s, who is now in an
orphans home in this city.
At the time Arthur began his i'm
proper relations with her his wife had
been dead only two months. Mrs. Ran
som at that time was keeping a lodging
house on Vernon avenue, Pasadena. Ar
thur was in the blacksmith business on
Raymond avenue. He did not live at
her house all the time, but visited there
three or four times each week and spent
the night with her.
With such an example in the home life.
1t was not matter-of surprise that the
daughter Kittie should develop unrulv
traits of character. On June 26th of la ST
year the mother had her daughter ar
rested as an incorrigble in order that
the girl might be sent to Whittier. Upon
being examined before Judge Allen.
Kitty, who was then rather handsome
xirl over II years of age, claimed that
