GARDINER RULED OUT.
New York District Attorney
Barred From Grand Jury
Room.

New York, March ia sensational
element was injected into the reform
movement today when the grand jury
formally protested against the presence
of District Attorney Gardiner during
the examination of Dr. Parkhurst.
Shortly after their arrival, the grand
jury went in a body before Recorder
Golf and asked for Instructions. The
foreman addressing the recorder said
that the orderly proceedings of business
had been interfered with and the. grand
jury desired to examine witnesses with
out the presence of any member of the
district attorneys office. A spirited col
loquy ensued between Colonel Gardiner
and Recorder Golf, the latter declining
to allow the district attorney to ad-
dress him. e Finally Colonel Gardiner
was allowed to state his side of the con-
troversy. He claimed he had a right
to be present in the grand jury room
and to advise the jury if necessary i'll
the examination of witnesses.
Recorder Golf in a lengthy address
sustained the grand jury. He defined
the conditions under which the district
attorney might be present, but said that
right was limited to the giving of in
formation to the jury. After that in
formation had been given, said the re-
cOrder. his functions ceased and he
must withdraw. Should the necessity
for it arise, said the recorder, the jury
could compel him to retire. Colonel
Gardiner attempted to enter a. protest,
but this the recorder refused to hear
The action of the police officials last
night in arresting the proprietors and
managers of several reputable res
taurants and hotels in which music is
made feature of the dinner hour, was
generally discussed today. These pro
ceedings were based on the law re-
quiring hotels to have a concert license
if an orchestra was employed the sec
ton under which the attempt was made
to close the notorious resorts in the
Tenderloin precinct.
There is a rather general inclination
to believe that this is an attempt on
the part of the police to make the vice
crusade unpopular and also to divert
attention from the movement against
gambling. Rev. DR.. Parkhurst and
other leaders in the reform movement,
however. declare that the prosecution
of gambling houses, pool rooms and
other resorts win be pushed with all
vigor, and DR.. Parlxhurst intimates that
he viii strike at higher places.
DIR. Parkhurst who was subpoenaed
to appear before the grand jury, was
in the criminal court building promptly
and Immediately went to the grand

FOR THE BOYS.
Anti-Cigarette Mass Meeting Ad-
dressed by DR.. Struble.

A fair sized audience assembled az
the First Methodist church last night
to hear DR.. Wallace NJ. Struble, of Chi
cago. lecture on Burning His Brain
The audience was made up for the
most part of elderly people, but group
of small boys on the front seats paid
close attention to the speaker. DR..
Struble is a pleasing speaker and al
most dramatic in many of his efforts.
He had on the pulpit before him what
he termed "a CHASTITY collection. 1t
consisted of boxes of cigars and cigar
cites partly burned. packages of to-
bacco and snuff, and the weed in al
most every form. He told of the 2,0C0
children in Chicago employed in gath
er1ng daily the partly burned cigars and
cigarettes they can pick up on the
streets. 1.-The cigarette ends they find
are called butts, said the speaker.
You may never have heard that word
The small boys Uttered. The partly
burned cigars are called 'snipes, > said
the doctor, and the boys laughed.
tAh,'' he said with satisfaction. I see
that you do know and now I will ex-
plain more about this industry He
explained that the butts" and 'snipeS'
collected are sold to tobacco dealers
who grind them up and turn out pro-
ducts that are labeled everything from
pure Connecticut leaf to imported
Egyptian cigarettes
Edward Wilder was introduced BY
Miss Lucy Page CASTOR, and made a

ment to everyone who used it. He said,

KANSAS AGAIN SCORES.

Harding as Citizen.
The Wichita Beacon says of the ap-
pointment OF Russell Harding as gen
eral manager of the Missouri Pacific
Iron Mountain railway:
Russell Harding is in fact a Wichita.
man and still owns property here He
has always claimed that outside of his
business Wichita was the dearest place
on earth to him.
He came here in 1886 in the early
spring He had just then been aD-
pointed superintendent of the Missouri
Pacific lines portion of Kansas, with
headquarters here. He lived here from
that time until August 1885 at which
time Mr. Hill offered him the position
of division superintendent of the Great
Northern, with headquarters at Iari-
mer, South Dakota. He accepted and
in a short time his division was extend
ed He moved his headquarters from
Larimer to Grand Forks. Shortly after
he was given the general superintend-
ency of the whole system with head
quarters at st. Paul. He conducted the
system of docks built at Seattle by the
Hill system for the accommodation of
their Oriental lines of steamers and
more than ever convinced railroad men
of his great ability as a manager.
Some time in October, 1898. George
Gould telegraphed from New York ask
ing Mr. Harding to come there, as he
desired to talk with him on important
business. Mr.. Harding answered the
call and when he arrived in New York
Mr.. Gould offered him the vice presi-
dency and general management Of the
Cotton Belt system of the Missouri Pa
cific roads,
1T was pleasant to see the broad
smile on the faces of the Missouri Pa
cific people today. When the trains
came in the very first thing their crews
did was to send a representative to the
Beacon office to find out whether the re-
port was true. Conductors and brake
men were all alike interested. one con
ductor said this good feeling for Mr.
Harding was not confined to this divi-
sion but extended among the employees
over the entire system.
Mr.. Harding has telegraphed his
friend, George NJ. Dickson, that he will
be in Wichita some time this month
