Member of the War Investigating
Commission Discusses Its Work.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 14-Dr. p. S. Conner,
after long service on the war investigating
commission having returned to his home
here, was complimented by dinner at the
Grand Hotel tonight by his friends and
neghbors. The guest spoke freely of the
work of the investigating committee which,
he said, had been assailed from the begin
ming as one created to veil the truth. He de-
clared the commission labored earnestly to
find and to declare the truth. It's work, ne
said, would have been closed much sooner
but for the remarkable charges promulgated
by the commanding general of the army in
his statement before the committee, he be-
ing the only one of the 495 witnesses before
the committee who declined to affirm or 10
be sworn. The doctor sketched the inVesti-
cation of that statement made by the COM
mittee ana said he hoped the court OF in
quiry which is to examine the same matter
would probe it to its depth. He hoped they
might get more light than the committee
had found. The witness was either perfectly
right or perfectly wrong, and the doctor was
facts as the investigating committee had
found them a high officer of the army would
be dismissed from the service.
Others who spoke were Gen. B. r. CoWen,
Henry A. Morrill,, Z. w. KittTedge, DR.. T..
a. Reamy and Judge w. II. Taft, of the
sensation by saying he had hoped that the
United States would only have Cuba to take
care Of, but was sorry other burdens had
been entaied. He took comfort however,
in the belief that Brother Jonathan was a
sensible character and that if he found he
rect it, even if it involved hauling down the
flag where it had been raised by mistake.

Point in sheep-KilIing Case.

In Room 2 Superior Court, Jeffries, Fuller
& Co, stock-yards brokers, are suing the
trustee of Wayne township. The plaintiffs
had some sheep on pasture in Wayne town
ship, and one night the flock was attacked
by dogs. About twenty-five sheep were
killed and fifty-one were badly injured. The
owners of the sheep brought a suit for dam
ages against Marion Clark, trustee, under
state law that was passed to protect sheep
and other stock from dogs. The. case went
to trial yesterday before Judge Leathers.
The law of 1897 on the question of sheep
killing provides thar where the owner of
sheep suffers d loss to the flock on account
of dogs he must, within ten days from the
time the sheep were injured or killed, file a
report with the township trustee showing
to what extent his flock has been damaged.
Yesterday, when the plaintiffs offered to in
troduce as evidence the report they had
filed with the trustee, the attorney for the
defendant objected to it's Introduction. He
held that the plaintiffs had no case because
the law provides that individual damage
must be shown before a trustee can be made
to pay for sheep killed. The attorney held
that the word individual" referred to
single person. He maintained that the act
was intended for the protection of farmers
who raise sheep, and not for the protection
of firms or corporations. Judge Leathers
decided that the case should go on.

Two Negroes Who Made Keys to En-
ter Stores.

tives Gerber, Morgan, Kinney and Thornton

between Senate avenue and Missouri street,
and Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets. One
of them knocked on the door, and from the
inside the commotion of a person crawling
out of bed could be heard The paddock on
the door was unlocked, and the detectives
filed inside and told William Hart and Will
liam Bryant, ex-convicts, whom they found
there. that they wanted them. The two men
dressed and, when the patrol wagon ar
rived. stepped inside peaceably. At the po
lice station they were slated on the charges
of burglary and petit larceny. One has
served three terms in the penitentiary and
the other two. Both have been prisoners at
the workhouse many times. They are thirty
one and thirty-two years old. respectively.
The Acme Laundry, situated in frcnt of
the shanty in which the two men lived has
been robbed of linen many times in the last
year. Hart served term in the workhouse
last summer on the charge of robbing the
laundry. but he and Bryant continued to
live back of the building when Hart was
released. Linen from the laundry was found
in the shanty yesterday. Graves $ drug
store, at No. 1901 North West street, was
robbed of old coins a few days ago. The
thieves broke in through a window. Some
old coins We're found in the shanty yester-
day oysters drug store, on North Senate
avenue was robbed of cigars and tobacco
last week. Hart and Bryant are called
"keyworkers'' by the detectives. They had
a valse, which is now at the police station,
full of pieces of brass and files, chisels and
a panel saw" Some of the pieces of brass
have been made into keys. The men said
they had collected the old coins during

tectiVes know. neither of them has been

The suit of the German American Build
ing Association against Mrs Minta II. Har-
rison and her son, to recover $500 alleged to
have been paid by the association through
a mistake, went to trial in the Circuit
Court yesterday. During the years 1895 and
1886, according to the evidence, Mrs. Harri-
son paid into the association $4,22360 She
had four certificates, and about five months
before they would mature she desired to
withdraw her money Under the law
member of building association must give
ninety days notice of the intention to with
draw. Mrs Harrison went to the association
and proposed that if she could secure her
money she would not demand the interest.
The proposition was accepted, and her son,
who drew the money, received S4,737.50.
Afterward the secretary discovered that the
Harrisons had been paid too much and in
looking over his books he found he had
made mistake of $500 in adding the figures.
The claim of the association is that it was
only intended to pay Mrs. Harrison the
amount she had paid in. The defense is
that the payment was voluntary. and that
PENDANTS further aver that when they found
they had received more money than they
paid in they reasoned that the extra $500
represented earnings on their stock which
the association meant to pay them. 1t is
further aVerred that the association has no
ply because the defendants came off best in
the trade.
