Mrs. Mary Burnett in the Col
Inns Trial Testifies That
She Saw a Man on the Kitchen
Roof
Of the Collins Home ON Morn
ing of Nay IS.
An Unsuccessful Effort of the
Prosecution to
Break the Testimony of This
Important Witness.

Late this afternoon in the Collins trial
Mary Burnett, who now lives at 122
Jackson street and who in May lived at
Eighth and Adams. created a sensation
in the court room by testffying that on
the morning of May 18th she saw a
man, apparently carrying a pair of
shoes, on the roof of the kitchen of the
Collins house. He stepped from there to
the roof of the coal shed, thence down
into the alley, where he disappeared.
Mrs. Burnett keeps roomers and
boarders. On the morning of May 18th
she came from Scranton on Santa Fe
train No. 8, according to her testimony,
arriving at Topeka about 4:3O in the
morning.
Mrs. Burnett testified that she was
looking for a house and that on that
morning one of her servants, Ella Blu
chanan told her just as she got home
that of a house that was for rent at
Eighth and Van Buren,.
Before getting her breakfast Mrs. Bur-
nett thought she would walk around
and look at the house. She did so, as
she testifies, walking over to Harrison
afterwards and down to Sixth. AS she
and her companion were walking east
on Sixth on the south side of the street,
both she and her servant, as she says,
saw a man walking along the roof of
the Collins house in the rear. One re-
marked to the other at the strange
sight.
This happened, as Mrs. Burnett testi-
ffes, about o'clock on the morning of
May 18th, about the time that Mr.. Col
Inns was muGdered. On the cross-exam-
ination Prosecuting Attorney Jetmore
asked Mrs. Burnett if she did not keep
a disreputable house.
To this Mrs. Burnett replied en-
phatically and Indignantly that she did
not.
She gave the same kind or a reply i'll
the negative when Mr.. Jetmore asked
her if she had been under arrest.

The governor elect persists that Jus

Plat thinks he has temporarily at

astonished Col Roosevelt at a break
fast party today by announcing almost
upon the heels of an admission that the
machine would accept DAILY under con =
ditiOns, that O'Brien had concluded not
to resign for a while. Meantime he de-
manded a Republican for adjutant gen
eral and the appointment of Francis
Hendricks as superintendent of public
works. Harry Bender of Albany for
superintendent of public buildings Pat
rick Egan for commissioner of labor
statistics. and other machine men for
all the rest of the big offices.
The breakfast party at which Roose-

FOR GRAND OPERA

New York, Dec. 12.-Grand opera will
take $1,000, 900 from the pockets of New
Workers this winter
That is the present conservative esti-
mate based on past experience and the
amazing enthusiasm with which Mr..
Grau's Incompatible company is being
near approaches New York in the
amount paid for opera. All this income
will not be profit, not by any means, as
Mr.. Grau's expenses for the seventeen
weeks will be $3.50. 900 or more. One
item was $4,000 paid for bringing the
rope.
The pay of the stars is something
which is locked up in Mr.. Grau's bosom.
Common report fixes it at figures which
are probably exaggerated. They may
be said to range from $500 to 81 800 per
performance. The highest pay is re-
ceived by great artists as Sembrich,
Melba and Ernest Van Dick. Eames.
Nordica, Schumann-Heink, Salenza,
Bispham, Edouard de Reszke and Anon
Van ROOy are in the next category
Then there are Nine. Bremm, MantelH
Campanari, Athens, Salignac, DIPPED
and P1ancOn, whose pay is also large.
Other artists engaged for a limited
number of appearances-Lilli Lehman
and Maurel-are also recipients of large
to $50 a week and the supes are paid
from so to IS cents a night.
Mr.. Grau expects that the item of new
scenery and fxings will be important
this year. The plan to present the
trilOgy in the mode of Bayreuth will
necessitate a considerable outlay and
if it is decided to produce GoIdmark's
Queen of Sheba' $40, 900 will have to be
expended. These items are not included
in the figures stated as cost of the sea-

AN ADDRESS
To the Ginners and Cotton
 Planters Of the State.

To the Ginners and Cotton Growers of Gentlemen:-
 The great progress in our rapid transit companles, together with competition arising from many sources has caused shippers of raw material to make packages of uni form size in order that producers may receive the benefit of the lowest freight given by them. When the packages are not uniform in size, an arbitrary rate is made. for over and under sizes by adding to the rate. This is always to the detri- Iment of the original shipper, which really comes out of the producer, causing him to pay more freight than those shipping uniform sizes.
 This is particularly the case with cotton, and in order for us to get the lowest freight to the mills in this country and in Europe we must make the bale a uniform size. Ships and railway cars are built to carry just so many sons and when they can load their capacity without ad- ditional expense, 6 cheaper rate is given, especially is this the case with ships. Texas is the first state to adopt the uniform bale and con- sequen4ly she enjoys three-six- teenths of one cent per hundred pounds lower freight than Arkan- sas. The steamship lines at New Orleans and other ports in quoting rates to Arkansas on cotton, would quote (for example, 37 1-2c per cwt. to Liverpool, and the same ships will take Texas cotton at IS 3-4c per ewt., giving as an excuse for this discrimination, the regular uniform size of the Texas bale and the irregular Arkansas bale, claim ing that it cost them the difference to load the Arkansas bale.
 No doubt of this being true, a visit to New Orleans or any other port is thoroughly convincing.
 The standard uniform bale that is asked for and adopted by Texas is | 24 inches wide and 54 inches long. In order to make this bale your l pressbox must be inside measure. ment 24x54 inches. This will make bale weighing 300 pounds, which Is commercially correct. Six yards of bagging will wrap up this bale and it ought to be 2 II pounds in weipht per yard with the heads of the bale well sewed with twine. This is 10 one mans scheme but an ear nest effort to get lower freight rates that the producer may receive high prices for his cotton.
 Arkansas makes 6 to g hundred thousand bales of cotton annually and the adoption of the standard uniform bale means four to five hundred thousand dollars to the cotton growers of this state an- nualiy more than they are now re ceiving.
 It will cost from $2. 50 to $8. each to change your press box to the regulation slze. This is very light when compared with tie benefit de- rived and we trust every ginner in the state and those not owning gins but interested in having their cot ton baled so that it will bring the highest market price will write as- suring us that they will adopt the standard bale at once, so that we can report to the maritime associa- tions at the different ports before September. This is of the greatest importance ard we await your re- ply with interest.
 Yours respectfully,
 s. c. ALEXANDER.
