EXCITING COURT SCENE
SULLIVAN TRIAL IN CHICAGO Is
GETTING GOOD
Spirited Cross-Examination Leads to
Recriminations Being Freely
Tossed Back and Forth
by Attorneys.

CHICAGO, Dec. 12.-George A. Yuille,
formerly assistant general manager and
vice president of the Chicago West Di-
vision Street railway. was called to the
witness stand today in the defense of the
alleged conspiracy against Alexander
Sullivan. The court ruled against any
statement by hini regarding the salary
drew from the company as trial lawyer
at the time former Bailiff Lynch charged
him with conspiracy in jury bribing. The
defense tried to show that at 10 time
had Sullivan drawn more than his yearly
salary of $15,000 but Judge Smith said the
street railway company was not on trial
and that it was not necessary to show
the source of the money used as brides
for jurors. This ruling precluded any
lengthy croSs-eXamination, and Mr..
Yuille stayed ON the stand but ten mir
utes
Several additional witnesses were piac-
ed on the stand to impeach evidence Civ
en- against Sullivan by Lynch. The cross
examination of some of the witnesses was
so spirited that threats and accusations
were passed over the attorneys table.
In the course of the cross-eXamination of
former Bailiff Thomas J. Seaman, States
Attorney Dineen stated that Seaman had
fled from Chicago during jury-bribing in
vestigations, and that now he is protect
ed only by the statute of limitations.
Seaman retored with a charge of false
hood to the states attorney, and in an
instant six lawyers were trying to make
themselves heard at the same time. Judge
Smith ordered Attorney p. H. O'Donnell
to take his seat and quieted the witness
and the other lawyers

at odds with the Central Labor union, of
that city. The committee on laws rec
commended that the matter be dropped
ON the ground that such a step would be
unwiSe, and the convention adopted the
recommendation. rf-s.,c.
1t was decided that hereafter the an
nual convention of the federation shall
be held on the second Thursday of No
vember of each year.
VIII Protest Baker.
J. H. Bowman, of Chicago, presented a
resolution instructing the president Of
the federation to protest against the con-
firmation by the United States senate of
the appointment of Francis E. Baker as
United States circuit court judge in In
diana. The reason for the protest is that
Baker is a. son Of Judge John H. Baker
OF Indianapolis, who had granted injunc-
tons against some union workmen.
Among the resolutions that were adopt
ed were these:
That legislatures be petitioned to enact
law to compel the constructors of ma
cfinery to cover all dangerous parts in
such a way as to protect employees work
ing around machinery.
That no boycotts shall be declared until
central labor unions have investigated
the disputes and endeavored to effect IN
amicable settlement.
A resolution proposing national de-
Tense fund for the benefit of strikers and
locked out men was defeated.
The special committee on autonomy and
the committee having charge or the So.
cialistic resolutions were in session DUR
ing the day and evening and each prob
ably will make it's report tomorrow. 1t is
likely session will be held tomorrow
night so that the convention can complete
its work Saturday.
There is much quiet lobbying going on
among the delegates over the election of
additional officers. The belief prevails
among most of the delegates that the
scheme to increase the number of vice
presidents from six to seven or eight VIII
go through and in that case a scramble
for the places is likely to occur.

REFORMERS FEEL GAY
CIVIL SERVICE ASSOCIATION FINDS
CAUSE FOR JOY
Backing of President Roosevelt in
the Work Furnishes Text for
Some Hopeful Talks
by Leaders.

BOSTON, Dec. 12.-The twenty-first an
nual meeting of the National Civil Service
Reform league was opened here today.
DR.. d. c.. Gilman, of Baltimore, presided.
The report of the executive council,
which is first in order, said in part:
''The past year has been one of encour-
agement for the friends of civil reform.
1t has seen the restoration to the classl-
fed service of some 1,600 positions in the
war department, removed from it by the
order of May 1899, the steady develop
ment of the merit system in the Philip
pine islands, and the recognition of The
league by the civil service commission.
1.-THE language and official acts OF
President Roosevelt leave no doubt that
he is in hearty sympathy with the friends
of good government and pure politics.
The recent election in New York will be
almost certainly followed by a great adj
vance in the practical application of the
principles of the league
4 Tonight meeting in Sanders theater,
Cambridge, was addressed by President
Charles w. Eliot, of Harvard; Carl
Schurz Dr.. Daniel C. Gilman and William
Dudley Foulke. Mr.. Schurz said that
civil service reform will not cure all the
evils of political system, yet with every
office rescued from the spokesman the
huckster will have less to deal with and
the field for meritorious candidates will
be so much enlarged. s,el $
Dr. Daniel C. Gilman, president of the
league, said it's victories have been won
by long and patient efforts. AS it sue
ceeds in the national field, it sees
that more may be done in other fields,
In urging the civil service idea he said
it could be well used by school boards
and even by churches seeking pastors.
XVi1IiaY m Dudley FOII1lxe of Indiana -
Gently appointed a member of the Nation
al civil service commission said: NEAR
ly every applicant for office now bases
his application, in part, at least, upon the
statement that he is devoted adherent
to the civil service law. That indicates
an advance. 1T is because we have a
leader. There is man VINO has the
power to handle civil service in an almost
autocratic manner. That man is the fore
most civil service reformer in American
