years past. The number Is estimated at

Officers Of the central union authorize

men into the ranks OF organized
labor has been prosecuted with
diligence, and with good results dur

ARREST Of A, B., JONES
is EXPECTED TODAY
Cashier Fears Nothing, and viii Then Give His
Statement.
RumOred It Will Cause SenSati0n-Van COtt and Pratt
Have Consultation Yesterdays Developments

Friends of Mr.. Stout have given in
dications of their intent to have A. B.
Jones placed under arrest, regardless of
the ill-favor with which the proposition
is received by County Attorney Van
Cott. Although it cannot be announced
with certainty, from the best informa
ton his arrest is likely to be made, and
perhaps today.
Chief Pratt remained firm in his opin-
ion yesterday that Jones should be
piaced under arrest. Nothing had oc-
CURED to alter his conviction. nor could
he give out any additional proof against
him When asked late last night if
Jones would be arrested, he replied that
1t would depend on the county attor
Pney. During the afternoon Mr.. Van
! Colt was in consultation with the chief,
and later, when seen, announced that
he could not favor bringing a complaint
against Jones, being still firmly con-
WINGED Of his innocence. That Jones
viii be arrested, Notwithstanding the
opinion Of the county attorney, now
appears to be within the range Of
strong probability.
With the condition of Mr.. Stout
growing more favorable, his friends an
ticipate a decided move, not only on
his part for the prosecution of Jones,
hut also in the way of a statement Of
the financial relations between them,
that viii show the cashiers object in
wanting his life. Chief Pratt stated
that Stout. after charging the crime
to Jones, made such an explanation OF
their financial relations as to establish
the belief that Jones would be tempted
TO DO the deed. Others take a radically
different view of the matter. A leading
lawyer IN the city has been retained to
take charge Of Mr.. StOutt's case, and
some interesting developments are ex-
pected within q few days.
Mr.. Stout rested easy yesterday and
DR.. Pinkerton, his physician, was able
tc state last night that his condition
had improved and is favorable to re-
covery. He had been brought from un-
der the influence of morphine, and was
fairly comfortable during the day. No
operation was performed yesterday to
extract The bullet, nor was the X-ray
brought into use. Another day may
determine what course viii be pursued.
There is no change of opinion as to the
location Of the bullet, which is believed
TO be lodged in the abdominal wall
It was reported yesterday that DR.
Pinkerton had held a consultation with
prominent physicians over the patient
and the resulting opinion was formed
that, from the location of the wound,
II could not have been self-inf1icted by
3s.r. StOutt if he used the right hand.
DR.. Pinkerton denied that any consul
tation had been held. or that such a
conclusion had been reached. He ad-
mitted, however, his own belief that
the position of the wound was such
that it was impossible for Mr.. Stout
to have fired the nistOl

Washington, Dec. 11.-GeneraI Calixto
Garcia. the distinguished Cuban war
rior and leader, and the head of the
commission elected by the Cuban as
sembly to visit this country, died here
this morning shortly after 10 o'clock
at the Hotel Raleigh, where the com
mission has it's headquarters. The
sudden change from the warm climate
of Cuba. with the hardships he had
there endured, to the Wintry weather
of New York and Washington is
responsible for the pneumonia which
resulted in his demise. He contracted
a slight cold in New York, which did
not assume an alarming stage until the
early part of last week. On Tuesday
night General Garcia, in company with
the other members of the commission,
attended dinner given in his honor by
General Miles, and it was a result of
the exposure there that eliminated in
his death.
During the twelve hours or. more pre-
ceding dissolution, General Garcia was
unconscious most of the time. At in
tervals he recognized one or more Of
those about him. In his dying mo-
ments, as all through his busy and
active life, his thoughts were for his
beloved country and its people, and
among his last words were irrational
mutterings in which he gave orders TO
his son, who is on his staff. for the
battle which he supposed was to occur
tomorrow and in which he understood
there were only 400 SpaniaTds to COM
bat. Just before he died he embraced
his son.
Rev. Father Magee of St Patrick'5
church was called in during the day
and was with General Garcia, until the

Catholic church. Other members of the
commission and Mr.. Rubens, their
counsel in this country, were also in
the bed chamber when the end came.
The remains were Immediately pre-
pared for burial and were placed on a
bier in the room in which he died.

and the head rested on one of smaller
dimensions. The face and bust were
left exposed to public view. The fea-
lures had g, remarkably life like appear
ance and gave no indication of the suf-

Just above the head rested a magnifi-

ribbon.

chises to fifty years. The speakers
dwelt mainly on the question of COM
pensation for extension of street car
grants, but befo.e it's close the PROPOSE
ton of municipal ownership was eX-
tensively touched upon and received
generous applause.
Franklin H. Head presided and the
speakers were Mayor Harrison, former
Governor John P. Altgeld, George b.
Cole, John Maynard Harlan and Kew.
Father Thomas 2. Hudnett.
Ex-Governor Altgeld was first to ad-
vert to the subject of municipal owner
ship and his remarks aroused the great
est enthusiasm of the meeting. Re
ferring to the alleged use of money IN
the CITY council, Mr.. Altgeld said:
''How can we stop this thing?
Hang them; get a rope; hang the
boodlers;' responded the audience.
The resolutions, which were prepared
in advance, We're found inadequate 10
the sentiment of the meeting ana
resolution was included favoring NUM-
cipal ownership of the street car llnes,
if not this year, then when the present
grant expires in 1903.
The most significant portions of the
resolutions adopted were as follows:
.'Resolved. that inasmuch as the
beginning and end Of all present cor
ruDtion in the city council are the
traction companies, the directors and
stockholders of those companies should
not be permitted to escape the odium
now directed against venal public serv-
ants. but that they be exposed to con-
demnation as criminals and anarchists,
in that they are organizing corruption
and plotting against the peace and
prosperity of Chicago, and inviting
consequences as disastrous to this COM
munity as any outrages ever devised by
the sworn enemies of society; and,
resolved. that the citizenship of
Chicago stands strong at the back of
our mayor in his brave fight for the
peoples right that it is the sense of
this meeting that the time for muni-
cipal ownership, if not right now, may
be by the time the present franchise
shall expire

GEORGE SUTHERLAND TALKS.
Makes It Practically Impossible Fol
Jones to Have Shot Stoutt.

MaKeS IL Ecacl1ca14y Impossible for
Jones to Have Shot Stout.
Attorney George Sutherland thinks
the time given was not correct. "I base
my calculations in this way: I was
in Henry Peery's Office. and asked him
home to dinner. He told me he had a
meeting at 1880, and could not take
the time. looked at my watch, and it
lacked a minute of 6. I told him we
could catch a car and so down, and
would have plenty Of time, but heAde-
clined. Then I sat down and wrote a
note TO Waldemar Van Cott, which L
sent by a messenger, called as I was
writing it, and, after giving it to the
boy, started for home. I estimate that
it was not more than five minutes after
6 when L left Peery's Office. met Mr.
and Mrs. Jones at the Walker House.
and we walked down together. AS
near as I can calculate, I walked home
from Main Street and Second South in
ten minutes. With lady we would
go slower. It must have been not far
from 6:15 when we three passed the
Stout residence. We went on down to-
gether, and he and Mrs. Jones were
walking southwark toward their home
when l saw them last"

Mr. Jones Will be here if wanted
The law, it is claimed, is conclusive
concerning the sole power Of the coun-
ty attorney to order the retention of a
suspect, and it is safe TO presume that,
unless MIR. Van Cott so directs, no war
rant can be issued. The section quoted
is 4615, page 961, of the revised stat
utes. which reads:
When a complaint, verified by oath
or affirmation, is made before q magis-
1rate charging the commission of a
crime or public offense, he must, if sat
isfied that the offense complained Of
has been committed, and that there is
reasonable ground to believe that the
accused committed it, issue a warrant
FS-his arrest: but when the magis-
frate before whom the complaint is
made is a justice OF the peace (as would
be necessary in this case), before issu-
ing the warrant, the complaint if made
by any person other than the county
attorney, and other evidence taken by
such magistrate relating to the onense
charged, must be submitted to such
county attorney. and he must exam
inc into the charge and enter either
his approval or disapproval of the is
suance of a warrant upon such COM
plant. If the county attorney disap-
proves. no warrant shall be issued, but
If he approves the issuance Of war
rant. such magistrate shall proceed ac-
cordingly; provided, that in cases
when it appears from statements of the
complaint or other written evidence
submitted to the magistrate that the
accused is likely to escape from the
county before the approval of the coun-
ty attorney can be had, war
rant may issue without the approval
Of the county attorney
However, Mir. Jones is not seeking to
evade an arrest, and it is said the Off
cials are decidedly inclined TO make
one. This viii bring about the issue
and then a statement VIII be made by
Mr.. Jones that win, perhaps, surprise
a good many people.

Discussion of the Movement at the
National Meeting.


Milwaukee, Dec 1.-THE meeting of The
Ethical union came to a close after a
discussion today Of 'The Mission of the
Ethical movement in the various branch
es and the lectures of Prof. Felix Adler
on THE indispensable Faith" Tonight s.
Burns Weston of Philadelphia had the
theme 1.-The Demand for an Ethical Move
ment." He related the history of the
movement, which has been on foot the
past twenty-five years. and said a large
number of people remained away from
churches because they did not agree with
the teachings of the churches.
William NJ. Salter discussed THE Dis
tinctive Character of Its Message" He
spoke for himself alone, but conceded that
members of the movement belong to the
great stream of religious tendency that
has come from the past. Ethics were the
sense of things sacred. How are we to
accomplished this happy life of which We
dreamed he asked and answered by
studying the laws of life, or what We
mean by ethics"
Lewis j. Duncan of Milwaukee talked On
Its Expectations, which he declared
were not for less, but for more deeper and
freer religion.

James Mcdonald, a prominent Tam
many man and one of the best-knoWn
horsemen in the city, was carried to

six hours later.
Mcdonald had taken a fast horse to
the speedway for a warming, and had
been challenged by friend to a test
of speed. The horses went along at a
furious pace. with the thousands of
spectators applauding the brush. Then,
with a mighty effort, McDonald's horse
took the bit and with a defiant toss of
his head shot to the front. Two blocks
ahead the speedway was impossible
to the flyers, and Mcdonald, realizing
this, stood up in his rig and, dropping
one rein, gave the other a mighty jerk.
He threw his horse, killing it, and
himself was pitched high into the air
and some twenty feet forward, falling
on the hard road. His skull was frac-
tured.
