The reforms which we're seemingly
going to be inaugurated by what is
called the Anti.saloun League have as
all such reforms sooner or later will be,
assumed the attitude of personal per.
secution. Two petitioners applied for
license and at the meeting Of the coun-
Gil license was granted to one and a
remonstrauce held up the other. Why
was this done? Not because the petit
toner on the n side had run his
place of business in stricter conformity
to the law than the other, but upon
the basis of one having an enemy or
two who want to get even. The idea
is that certain members of this organi.
cation have been led to put their name
to a remonstrance which gives these
one or two the beforehand in a mat.
ter where personal interest and per.
sonal hatred have come to glou; over
their enemy. On last election the bus

A WIFE's RIGHT TO DOVER.
Decision I'm the Case of the Estate oi
ThOmns McIntirc.

Justice Barnard has rendered an i'm
portant decision in the matter Of the dis
position of the estate of Thomas Mclntire,
involving the power of a wife TO convey
her inchoate right Of dover.
When McIntire was adjudgod insane
Ralph p Barnard was appointed a COM
Inittee to take charge of the estate of the
subject Soon after the committee dis
posed of McIntire's real estate TO James
A. Cahin The sale was ratified by the
court and Cahill submitted the court title,
signed by the committee and Mrs. Mcln-
tire, the wife OF Thomas NJ. Mclntire, to
the Columbia Title Insurance Company Tor
examination The latter however, re-
fused to pass the title and Cahill refused
to pay the stipulated price for the prop
erty. The title company, it is understood,
refused to accept the deed as valid be-
cause it is unlawful for wife to dispose
of a prospective dover right. In disposing
of her dover, it is claimed, wife can
do SO only Jointly with her husband, il
he is alive.
The court however. held that in this
case the husband McIntire is dead 10 the
law, and that the committee appointed
by the court has full power to act in con-
junction with his wife in the disposition
Of his estate.

A POLICE CAPTAIN INDICTED.
The New York Grand Jury Charges
Neglect of Duty.

NEW YORK, March 29.-The grand jury
this afternoon returned three indictments
against Police Captain Thomas. of the West
Thirtieth Street police station
The indictments are founded upon Cap
tain Thomas alleged failure to close I'D
the disorderly resorts in the Tenderloin.
known as the Tivoli. the Haymarket. aH,,
the Doree.
The three indictments charge the captain
with neglect Of duty in failing to suppress
three disorderly resorts. AS this is mis-
demeanor and not felony, he was not ar
rested. and the probability is that he will
not be suspended from duty. Chief Devery
warmly supports the captain. and it is be-
lieved that the police commissioners hold
with him. The penalty is a fine of not
more than $500 or Imprisonment for not
more than one year. or both separate
indictment was found ill each case
Chief DeveTy has pledged himself o pro-
duce Captain Thomas when he is waiif=,ss
The proprietOrs OF the resorts for the fail
ure to suppress whiou Captain Thofaas was
indicted, have in turn az been indicted
by the grand jury.
Chief Devery has had no official notiHea-
ton Of the Indictment. but said he under
stood there would be no arrests, he merely
holding himself responsible 20 produce
Captain Thomas when called upon. He was
asked if the captain would be suspended
10 which he replied very emphatieally:
mo, he Will not. l amt goin' to sus-
pend no man on such nonsense and that's
what it all is. Thomas is a staneh Re
publican. but you'll find that a Demo-
cratic chief will be fair with him.
President York declined to say anything
until he had official notification OF the in
dictments.

The Idaho enquiry proceeded for two
hours yesterday without any serious clash
between the Democratic and Republican
members of the committee. Governor
steunenberg was again under cross exam
ination by Mr. Lentz.
Considerable time was devoted to ques-
tioning the witness concerning the letter
which he presented TO the President last
October setting forth the conditions in
the Occur d'Alenes and asking that troops
be retained in that county. This letter
WAS used in the Ohio campaign. Mr..
Lentz asked If he had written the letter
at the dictation of Senator Hanna, but the
answer was a negative one. 1t was drawn
from the witness that though he had pre-
pared rough draft of this letter in Boise
he completed it at Washington after con-
ference with the Secretary Of War and the
President.
Governor Steunenberg at first declared
that he had written from Boise TO the
President.
Then why asked Mr. Lent. after
writing a letter TO the President. did you
come ali the way TO Washington TO deliver
that letter If you wrote a letter, why
didn't you mail it, and if you came for a
personal conference with the President,
why did you write a letter at alp
We'll, / only wrote a rough draft at
Boise"
Then you completed this letter at
Washington"
Yes
The contention Of the Democratic men,
bers of the committee is that the letter in
question was called for by President Nc
Kinley TO aid ;he Republican party in the
last campaign. They contend that the
President sent for Mr.. Steunenberg and
spoke to him in substance as follows:
Steunenberg those troops will have TO

kponsibility for their presence and paint

The mysterious petition referred to
"Wednesday was considered by the commit
tee in executive session. No formal an
nouncement was made as TO the DISPOSE
tion of the petition but ii was informally
given out that IL would be forwarded 10
the Secretary of War. 10 whom it was di-
rected. In the matter of this petition
Governor Steunenberg said on Wednesday
that he came into possession OF IL on Feb
ruary 1a. He did not know. he said how
he came Into possession of it, where IL
came from, to whom IL was addressed or
what the nature OF IL was. Later. by re-
freshing his memory, he concluded that
the petition was 10 the Secretary of War.
though he was not clear as 10 his reason
FOR barring IL around with him for so long
a time. He was directed TO produce the
petition before the committee He was
examined on this matter at some length
by Mr.. Lentz in the following manner:
