NOTED CHICAGO LAWYER FOUND
GUILTY OF CONSPIRACY BY
THE JURY
HE WILL NOT BE SENT TO JAIL
Argument for "a New Trial the
Accused Is Allowed

THE STATE PROTESTS IN VAIN

CHICAGO, Dec. 22-The jury in the
case of Lawyer Alexander Sullivan, on
trial before Judge Apner Smith for cor
spriacy to abet fugitive from justice,
came into court today with a verdict
of guilty. AS punishment the jury inl-
posed a fine of $1,000. This carries with it
no prison sentence. States Attorney
Barnes demanded that Sullivan be taken
to jail, but the court declined to enforce
this demand and Sullivan was permitted
to leave the court room with his at
torneys.
Sulivans counsel entered a motion for
new trial which Judge Smith will act
upon tomorrow. Should this motion be
overruled judgment for $1,000 will be en-
tered against the attorney.
The charges against Sullivan were an
outgrowth Of jury bribing scandals in
volving the Chicago courts Former
Bailiff James J. Lynch, the principal
prosecuting witness in the trial of Sulll-
van, was indicted for jury bribing in De-
cember, 1885, At this time Alexander
Sullivan was the general counsel for the
West Chicago Street Railroad company.
Indictments charging bribery at other
times were found against Lynch. He de-
clared that Sullivan had induced him to
bribe jurors He told his story to the
grand jury and indictments for consplr-
acy to assist and persuade fugitive
from justice to get without the jurisdic-
ton of the court and assisting and per-
suading the fugitive to remain Wilnout
the Jurisdiction of the court were voted
against Alexander Sullivan, Frederick
ST. John, Edward Maher and Frank +.
Murray Separate trials were granted
on motion of Maher, and Sullivan was
the first selected to make answer in court
to the allegations in the Indictment. lie
was arraigned before Judge Abner Smith.
The trial lasted four weeks and two days.

Special to The Globe.
ANN ARBOR, startling is the
only word that will describe the results
of experiments that have been made at
the archaeological laboratory of the
University of Michigan.
l. is no less than the discovery of an
absolute antiseptic for all intestinal dis
eases, such as all forms of cholera, ty-
phoid fever and dysentery.
Not long ago DR.. Frederick G. Novy,
we'll known bacteriologist, and Prof.
Paul C. Freer a chemist, announced
that together they had succeeded in pre-
pairing an intestinal antiseptic that was
successful on small animals inoculated
with intestinal diseases. They gave the
name Of "benZoZone" to the preparation,
but its exact composition is not yet made
public
The proper degree of treatment in the
human person then became the study of
DR.. Novy. During the last week five
students who had volunteered their
services for experimental purposes were
treated with the preparation. They were
allowed nothing to eat and were given
only sterilized milk to drink. Each day
at meal times the five students went to
the laboratory and took their doses of
benzozone and then drank the milk. Re-
peated chemical analysis showed a total
destruction of the intestinal poisons. Not
a tract of germ could be found in the
urine or faces. Ordinarily disease
germs may be found in the most healthy
persons. The next step will be to try
1t ON an actual case of disease in the
human body. Its success on incubation
guinea pigs has already been demon
strated.

81 WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-It begins to
look as if Indiana would furnish as in
teresting a senatorial race in 1903 as the
one in Illinois. The term of Senator Fair
banks will then expire, and he will come
before the legislature for reelection.
But his ambition to become president is
firing lot Of Hoosiers with an ambition
to become senator In his place. States
men at home say he should not try to
pick two plums at once. If he is to be
president, they suggest that he step aside
and let someone else run for the senate.
The unfr1endly feeling between the In
diana senator's grows apace. Every day
or two brings to light some new illus
tration or cause of friction. For ex-
ample, Senator Beveridge desired greatly
to become member of the committee
on foreign relations. He consulted such
of the older senators as Platt, of Con-
necticut, Lodge, of Massachusetts,, and
Hale of Maine. They told him they
would support him. He accordingly went
to work to fit himself for the labors
of that committee very unusual thing
for senator to do-and spent several
thousand dollars going around the world.
1t fell out that Senator Fairbanks was
chosen member of the committee
which had the arranging of
these assignments. By virtue of this
position he was able to find just what
his colleague wanted most, and he made
it his business to see that he did not
get 1t. He notified his colleague that
he would like that vacancy himself. and
as the story is told, he held out against
them uD to the last, insisting that he
be given the place.

TREASON IN MISIAMIS
GEN. DAVIS REQUESTS RENEWED
MILITARY. CONTROL
Gen. Chaffee Predicts That by the
Middle of February the Turbu-

BE Pacifsed.

MANILA, Dec 22-Gen. George w
Davis, commanding at Zamboanga, Is
land of Mindanao has requested that the
province of Misiamis, Mndanao, again be
placed under military control. Gen
Davis has proof that the recently elected
presidente and vice councillors, and the
leading men of Cagayan, Misiamis. are
guilty of treason in furnishing amnluEl-
ton to the insurgents within the past
month. The fiscal of the province ol
Misiamis is also implicated. The edi-
dence shows all these men were members
of the secret Katapumon society. Gen
James F. Wade, commanding the Ameri-
can forces on Cebu island, concurs in anc
indorses the request of Gen. Davis.
Gen. Chaffee, speaking with the cor
respondent here of the Associated Press
on the situation in the island, said he
considered affairs in the islands to be
hopeful and by the middle of February
the turbulent provinces will have been
pacifed Gen. Chaffee' excepts the ls'
land of Samar, however, which Will
probably require longer.
The closing of the ports in Laguna and
Bantangas provinces, in LuZon, has nae
a most salutary effect, as the measure
has resulted in touching the pockets OF
the Manila Fnipinos who have been aid
ing the insurgents.
Capt. j. S. Parke, ~Jr., with twenty
men of the TWentg-first infantry, encoun-
tered sixty insurgents last week at AL
medos in Laguna province. F1fteen o.
the enemy were killed. several guns were
captured and their barracks were de-
stroyed A detachment of scouts OF the
Second infantry also had a small engage
ment with the insurgents in which they
killed nine men and captured four.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 22.-The murder
of William Lashell, alias Big Biz
O'Day, which took place yesterday morn
ing in one of the private rooms OF the
Nancy Hanks saloon, is the sensation OIL
the under world. Finch Girard, the muir
derer, has long posed as the leader OF
the New Orleans grafters, and the al
legged motive of the killing was LashelPs
refusal to divide the spoils of big JOB
he had lust pulled off. The fact that
Lashell is dead and Girard in bad
way has loosed usually cautious tongues,
and a story of crime covering many
states has been unfolded, which has lew
equals.
Twenty-Five years ago William Lashell
was a well known young man OF MIN
neapolis. His father was a judge OF
one of the courts of that city. In MS
youth he was wild, but his friends hoped
he would tone down. Instead he went
from bad to worse. One day he induced
a Young girl who had fallen in love with
him for his recklessness and manly
bearing to leave her home. That was
twenty-five years ago, and TO this DAY
she has followed him.
Lashell and Girard were identified in
confidence work number of years ago,
and were run out of number OF cities.
| When the races began this winter Glrard
originated the idea of gathering a band
of pickpockets, card sharps and confi-
dence men. Among those who came was
Lashell. Friday Lashell reaped verita-
BILE harvest, and boasted that he had
had enough splitting up with Girard.
Girard heard Of 1t, and sent word TO
Iashell that he wanted to see him. They
| were armed with Colts when they met
in the Nancy Hanks. Edna Walsh was
with Girard and Vera Verne was with
Lashell. Girard invited the party to
drink. Lashell refused. Then the men
drew their pistols, Lashell firing first.
The women fled.
Nine shots were exchanged. The fourth
shot fired by Lashell struck Girard in
the right groin. He staggered against
piano, and as Lashell fired the last
time put a bullet in his adversary's
brain. Lashell fell lifeless on the floor
Girard is now dying in the hospital.

CROOKS ARE TO BE RUN DOWN.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Dec. PA gang
of foreers OF railroad tickets has been
operating in Kansas City successfully
during the last few weeks, according TO
H c. Townsend, of st. Louis, general
passenger agent of the Missouri Pacl1c
railroad, who has been in the city in
vestigating the fraud with the aid of
George H. Foote, secretary of the local
. passenger bureau, and j. A. Stewart,
general Southwestern passenger agent ot
the Rock Island
Mr. Townsend said of the frauds: "The
losses of the Western railroads VIII
amount to thousands of dollars. There
have been three classes of forgerles
Some days ago Mr.. Foote discovered that
a bogus perforating stamp had been USED
to initiate the stamp that is used to mark
tickets at the Union depot. The forgcrs
tried in Chicago to buy a stamp exactly
like the one that is used at the Kansas
City Union depot to stamp return ticket
coupons, but the manufacturers suspect
ed something was wrong and refused TO
sell it. The forgers were not baft1ed
They bought stamp that is used in
banks for perforating checks, changed
the dies from paid to *. c. u. d.
and have used it on may forged tickets
Forged Train Checks Ind Contracts.
1.-THE second class of forgeries included
are fairly good limitations Of the genuine
ones, but they have smooth edges in
stead of perforations. Wholesale frauds
have been committed by using forged
live stock contracts which are exchang-
ed for tickets. We have no means OF
knowing how many bogus live stock con-
tracts and conductors train checks have
been used I know that hundreds OF
fraudulent contracts were printed here
in Kansas City. We have evidence to
show that Kansas City ticket broker
knows something about the forgeries
We have engaged an additional force OF
detectives and hereafter conductors will
watch carefully for forgeries. The Mis-
souri, Pacific has suffered severe losses,
but our road is only. one company that
has been defrauded.
Dozens of forged tickets have. it is
said, been secured by the railway OIL
Gals.
Mr.. Townsend has telegraphed for C.
c. Mcleod, of Chicago, chairman OF the
Western Passenger association, to come
to Kansas City as soon as possible to
make an effort to prosecute the ticket

GREEN BAY, Wis, Dec. 22-Two men
cremated and another frightfully burned
about the lower part of the body, and
the destruction of locomotives and cars,
was the outcome of rear-end collision

FROM THE GLOBE BUREAU,
Washington. ID. G.

WASHINGTON, Dec. G.-It begins to
appear that the annexationists are behind
the men who are most determined that
there shall be no reduction III tariff on
Cuban imports.
If you will investigate you will find
that nearly every man who is outspoken
against adopting the suggestions of the
president, Secretary Root and :iov. Wood
is an anneXationist at heart" said a
prominent member of congress- 1t Is
pointed out that if the United States
should put Cuba in the way of CONNER
cial prosperity, annexation would be
postponed and maybe defeated altogether,
while the Withholding of relief may re-
suit in the island asking for immediate
annexation.
There are. many indications that the
sentiment in favor of annexation is more
pronounced than most persons nave been
willing to believe. A good many of the
legislators are outspoken in favor of TAX
ing the island, but the conservative view
and the one that will govern-is that
the United States is bound by honor to
wait until the people of Cuba come beg
glng at the doors of this country. With
tariff that is running the island COM
mercially the United States, it is assert
ed, will not have to wait long for the in
habitants of the island to petition for
annexation.
Has Had Enough FavOrs.
Representative Lands, of Indiana who
is always frank in discussing public
questions, says it is no doubt true that
refusal to lower tariff rates in favor
of the island will hurry annexation. And
L think we are right about it, said he.
with other members, I feel that we
have done enough for Cuba. The time
has come when the island ought to stand
alone-ought to. be treated just as any
other foreign country-and If it be DEM
onstrated that she cannot stand alore,
let the annexation to the United States
proceed. Annexation will be further de-
ferred every time a favor is extended
to the island"
1t is as definitely settled as anything
can be. in advance of formal action that
the prayer of the Cubans, reinforced by
the recommendations of the president
and his immediate followers, will not be
needed. After the holiday recess the
ways and means committee will receive
the Cuban delegation and listen to the
appeal it has to make, and soon after
ward will decide that existing tariff rates
shall stand

PUBLIC HIS IDEAS
Faycrs a NOn-Partisan Board of
Three Men to Estimate Railway
Values and Wants Time of
Assessment Changed.
special to The Globe.


DES MONIES, Iowa, Dec. 22.-Gover-
nor-elect A. B. Cummins has announced
his programmes with respect to the taxa
ton of railroad property in Iowa. He
proposes the creation of a bipartisan
commission of three men to investigate
and determine the actual value of the
railroads in this state, their conclusion
to form the basis of the assessment by
the executive counsel
He suggests the postponement of the
date Of assessment from March until
July 80, so that the railroads may be as
sessed at the same time other property
valuations are eeualized by the council.
Mr.. Cummins was supported for the
nomination for governor by those who
charge that the railroad property Of the
state is escaping taxation, and his pro-
gramme created the liveliest interest IN
Iowa.
The radicals who favor a large increase
in assessment and the railroads both in
cline to oppose his scheme.
