Davis, J. j. Mahoney and Harry
Cheney were produced in the Supreme
Court yesterday by Sheriff A. B. Core,
of Peasants county, in response to a
writ of habeas corpus obtained from

ney, John A. Howard, of Wheeling, to
save them from a sentence of six
months in Jail, imposed upon them by
Judge L. N. Tavenner, of Parkers-
burg, for an alleged violation of an in
junction of his court. Mr.. Howard ap-
peared for the prisoners, and Prosecut-
ing Attorney c. P. Craig, of Pleaasnts
county, and c. r. Caldwell, of Parkers-
burg, appeared for the State. The
pleadings were made up and the case
continued until January q for argu-
ment. The prisoners were released on

and bcttle washer In j A. Beazleys
furniture store. He is frst-class
clerk, but there are many of The tricks
Of the trade he has yet to learn. On
Saturday, Mr.. Beazley received doz-
en- wire mattresses, which were NASH
ed down to thickness of about elgh
teen inches and tied with ropes. Not
knowing Of the great fierce of the
springs, Herbert got upon the bundle
wit hhis hands and knees and began
cutting the ropes. All went well until
the knife severed the last rope, when
Herbert quickly left the earth and
started on a sudden journey to what he
supposed was the better land. After
reaching height of ten or twelve feet
his course changed and the downward
flight was begun. In the latter he cut
a swipe through maple shade tree,
knocking the back off a dresser, broke
three chairs setting on the sidewalk
and finally reached terra firma bear
ing some dozen cuts and scratches.
The mattresses when released flew in
all directions, and it Is said one landed
on the court house portico. Herbert

Grand Army Column.

On January Sth the Senate had up
for consideration the amendments to
the Dependent Pension Bill, so-called,
proposing to compel the Commissioner
of Pensions to allow a widow a pen
sion where she happened to have in
come up to $25O00 per year, his rul-
ing now being that she can not be al
lowed a pension if she had $4,000 per
year income. The same bill also pro-
vldes that the disabilities of a soldier
shall be grouped in allowing a pension.
That is, if he should have lost a finger,
and should happen to have rheumatism
and heart trouble, none of which were
month, yet if altogether they should
rate up to six dollars, then he should
be allowed the six dollars. Several
Senators took occasion to speak on the
general subject of pensions and as to
the present management of the PEN
sion Bureau. All are now friends of
the soldier and seemingly anxious that
the men who served their country eth
er in the War of the Rebellion, war
with Spain or war with Mexico, shall
have their rights and shall be treated
fairly.
Senator Teller spoke eloquently and
forclbly on the subject and fnasmuch
as he was at one time Secretary of the
Interior and had an intimate know
ledge of the whole subject, we give
part of his speech below:

To Test Legality of Dealing
In Confederate Money.

Chicago, Jan. 10.-On the unusual
charge of dealing in Confederate
States money F. M. Davis, who con-
ducts a general mail order business on
Monroe street, was arrested today by
government officers and held to the
federal grand jury by United States
Commissioner Humphreys. If an in
dctment results the case win be made
a test in the United States district
court, and If conviction is returned
all persons dealing in Confederate
money, even as curios. will be liable to
prosecution. Three men were recently
convicted in Kansas City of passing
Confederate bills as legal government
notes, and the arrest today was the
outcome, as 1t is alleged that numer-
GUS complaints have been received
against Davis f orsending Confederate
money 10 all parts of the country.
Government officers declare they will
endeavor to have the law defined SO as
to include all who are responsible for
the circulation of Confederate money.
Bills representing $4,000 were found
in Eavis' place of business.

1.-THE Adventure of Lady Ursula
high class comedy drama written es-
pecially for Mr.. Daniel Frohman by
Anthony Hope, author of the prison
er Of Zenda,' will be presented by that
popular star, William Morris, at the
Auditorium on Monday, Jan. Is. Miss
Francis Drake and company of art
lists of genuine merit will appear in
support of Mr.. Morris. THE Adven-
ture of Lady Ursula" is laid in and
around London in 1920. Sir George
Sylvester has killed his dearest friend
in duel as a result of a quarrel over
woman, and in consequence NE has
become recluse, having sworn gain
never to look upon female face. For
mere than two years at the opening of
the play he has been buried in his
house at Edware, then suburb Of
London Nearby is the home of the
Baringtons, an ancient and ariStCcratic
family, and of which Lord Hassanden,
Lady Ursula and their cousin, Dorothy,
are the principal members. Lady
Ursula, curious as to the hermit, pre-
tends to faint on the doorstep, hoping
thereby to obtain a glimpse of the
strange nobleman. He orders her sent
TO the porter's lojge, and Lord Hassen-
den, her brother, imagining that his
sister has been insulted, challenges Sir
George to a duel. Lady Ursula, by ev-
cry means within her power, tries to
prevent the quarrel, Disgusting herself
as a boy that she may seek Sir George
among men, Dorothy becomes involv-
ed in the intrigue in manner that
threatens to break her engagement
to Lord Hasended, but the comedy
ends with the reconciliation of the
lovers, while Sir George and Lady
Ursula are in attitudes that give prom

New York's New Canal
Problem.

The original cost of the Erie Canal,
carrying four feet of water, was ST.
100000. Its first enlargement cost
s44, ,465,414 Since then $4,000, 900 more
has been spent in improving it. Its
total construction cost as it stands is
therefore about $61 100000
The Governors Canal Commission
now recommends that 1t be converted
into a ship-canal at an additional cost
of almost exactly the same amount, the
estimate being S60,000,000.
The question whether or not this
work should be undertaken is one Of
grave import to the State and city.
Let us set down here the facts that
should be considered in deciding it.
1t gave New York its supremacy in
commerce by making this the port
most easily and cheaply reached by
the products of the great West. When
railroad geography began to be made,
this supremacy was so marked as to
compel all roads TO seek an outlet here
and so centered here the commerce CT
the country. Since that time the
canal, in addition to its carrying, has
served as a check upon railroad greed
compelling the railroads to keep their
freight charges low for fear of com
petition, thus continuing the City's
command of foreign trade
The Canadian policy now seriously
threatens New York's supremacy. Our
neighbors on the north have set out to
divert our export trade, which import
trade naturally follows, to the st.
Lawrence by rebuilding canals that
furnish a waterway fourteen feet deep,
with locks big enough for ocean steam
ers, all the way from Duluth to Mon
treal 1t is to meet this threatened
competition that the proposal is made
to spend S6O,OO,OOO in making a ship
canal of the Erie Canal.
The total cost would amount to $40
per head of our population. The an
nual interest charge on a 100000, 600
bond issue would be $1,S00,OOO or
about 30 cents per head Of population.
Fortunately the state is out of debt
and vastly rich. 1t can well afford TO
create this great highway Of commerce
II 1t chooses to do so, and II its people
can make up their minds to elect hon
est Governors and Legislatures during
the period in which the $6O,OO0,O 900 is
10 be in course of expenditure.-New

"The Royal Box. /"

THE Royal Box" which will be pre-
aentcd at the Auditorium tomorrow
night, is founded on Alexander Dumas
famous but somewhat exuavagant ro-
mantle play OF "Kean," which was
written by the great French novelist
and produced in 1886, Since that time
"Kean" has had many presentations in
Europe. and about ten years ago was
played in this country by noted Ger
man trlgedian, who made it part of
his repertoire Mr.. Charles Coghlan
took this old play as his inspiration in
writing THE Royal Box" He aband-
oned all but a mere skeleton of the Du-
mas creation, introduced new scenes
and situations replacing all that he
took away with a masterful skill that
has made his production a stronger
play than the original, and entirely re-
wrote he dialogue. The Dumas play
has for ITS subject, English scenes and
English characters, drawn from the
standpoint Of French wriser. Mr.
Coghlan simply localized the charac-
ters Of the originals which he retained
and drew them fro mthe standpon. Of
an English dramatst. As a character
study "The Royal Box" Is remarkably
vivid in its contrasts to each personags
being as carefully developed as if he or
she were the star Of the piece,
The scenes are laid in London and

ters in the story are Clarance, the act

Prize Fighting in New York,

A bill has been prepared for intro
duction before the Legislature of New
York, repeating the present law
as to glove fights, under which so
many recent contests for the slugging
championship have taken place. Tn
der that law prize-fighting has become
a great industry in the state and has
been carried on unmolested under the
pretense chat each contest was but
limited period of rivalry between two
experts for points. To the public,
however, it has not seemed to differ
in any respect from the general run
of prize fighting in recent years, and in
fact the so-called championships OF the
various classes have several times
years ago two of the leaders in the
fistic are thought it necessary to go to
far Off Nevada, where a special law
had been passed in their interest, to
try conclusions; and before that there
were a number of contests that were
pulled off by stealth in remote corners
OF the southern states, and even in one
of them, cne of the principals was
compelled to suffer Imprisonment,
In contrast to this fighting under a
ban and being almost driven 70 foreign
countries to settle the important mat
ter of a championship, they all fight
now, under New York's liberal laws
in the suburbs of the metropolis of the
country and by reason of the ease of
attendance every fight realizes for the
victor a moderate fortune while other
fortunes change hands in the betting.
This being the case 1t is small wonder
that there is a movement amCng New
Workers to repeal a law which makes
that state the headquarters for a sort
OF sport that few years ago was al
most driven out of the country by pub
lie sentiment expressing itself in pro-
hibitory observation-disclosures Times.

in this Chamber and other places that
the pension roll was stuffed with peo-
pie who had no right there, After the
most careful and exhaustive effort,
with all the appliances that the De-
partment could use, without any limit
or stint anywhere, we found that there
was not one man IN two hundred who
was there that there was over a sus-
plclon Of know from my own OBJ
seration and from the letters have
received for many years and the men
with whom / have come in personal
contact that there are infinitely more
men off The roll who ought to be on
than there are men on who ought to
be off.
Mr.. President, neither am | one of
those who are frightened at the fact
that we are paying $140,OO0, 600 year
We had the greatest war of modern
times. We had the greatest army of
any modern times, and we had the
greatest battles. We talk about the
battles in South Africa and other
places. Why, Mr.. President. look at
those who went down in one single en-
gagement What would be a great
army in almost any other part of the
world were left dead on the field.
There was no army in the world that
ever gave four years of such service as
our men gave, There was no other
army in the world that ever met such
opponents as our men met. There was
no army in modern times where the
cold steel of the bayonet was used as
it was during the late civil war.
Can men go through these things
without lowering their vitality? And
when cid age comes on them, when
the men who ought to be stalwart and
strong because they did their service
to their country find themselves weak
and aged, with a country the richest on
the face of the earth, with more un-
touched measures for taxation and
revenue than any other people in the
world, we ought not to be afraid of do
ing what we contracted to do when we
| took these men into our army.
1t is true, Mr.. President, you paid a
great sum of money, $2,500,000O00 in
pensions. You paid it to maintain the
honor and the decent character of the
nation. You paid S50O,OO0O0O more,
or nearly that, in the way of interest
to maintain your credit. You paid
nearly $500, 100000 more to the public
creditors in the way of interest than
you paid to the soldiers who made 1t
possible for these men to get their in
