The Verdict Cannot Stand.


BaItInlOro sun :
1t Is most deeply to be regretted that the
two inferior members of the Schley Court OF
Inouiry. constituting a majority OF that body,
have had the hardihood to make report
voicing substantially the prejudices OF jealous
fellow officers in the navy department, rather
than the plain truth as made manifest to the
American public by the great event with
which the whole world is familiar. Evidently
a hndlng so out of keeping with the judgment
OF the unprejudiced public cannot stand, but
will necessitate a congressional investigation
and second inquiry, thus creating an unpleas-
ant parallel to the Dreyfus scandal

Copper War.

New York, May 23.-Reports Of a
pending settlement of the copper war
are in circulation today. Representa-
tives of the Amalgamated Copper COM
pany and the Montana Ore Purchasing
company are in the city, but it can
be said positively that no conference
has been held. Copper stocks are
strong, Amalgamated opening up two
points. Anaconda went up in SYM
pathy.
A representative of the Amalgam-
ated company said that the earnings
of the copper companies this year
would be far in excess of the earn
ings last year. It is said that the alb
sorption of the Boston & Montana
and Butte & Boston companies will
be made on a basis of four shares of
Amalgamated for one of Boston &

TAKES HOPEFUL VIEW
President O'Connell Reports Many
Successful Settlements for
Striking Machinists.

Washington, May 23.-President
O'Connell of the Machinists' associ-
alton in summarizing the situation
tonight, said: "The situation now
shows that we are largely gamer in
the number of settlements made. Ad-
justments reported during the day
show a gain in New England Of 1,5O0
in the number of men returned to
work, with demands granted; of 500
or 600 in Ohio and probably 1000 in
Pennsylvania. About 1000 men
struck today.
There are some additions in Phila-
delphia and some in the Seaboard Air
Line shops at Americas, Ga. Our poll
cy is to discourage bringing out any
more men than is absolutely neces-
sary to effect success of the move
ment''
O'Connell said the strike of the ma
chinists on the Seaboard Air Line
would occur tomorrow morning. He
said the strikers would number be-
tween 500 and 600.
Dispatches to headquarters here in
dicate that at San Francisco many Of
the smaller concerns are ready to
grant the demands, but are not ready
to sign an agreement. At IndianapO-
lis the American Bicycle company is
reported as agreeing to the demands,
but refusing to sign an agreement.
The same condition exists at several
other points and the matter is being
left to local organizations to settle.
O'Connell said tonight he could not
understand such policy on the part Of
the employers, but was not disposed
to haggle over the minor issue and if
necessary he would not insist on the
men staying out on that technicality.

Case Expected This
Week.

Washington, May 23-The crisis in
Alexander McKenzie's pardon is rap
idly approaching President Mckinley
has gone over the case carefully with
the judges of the federal court of ap-
peals in San Francisco, and the de-
partment of justice here has been
kept fully advised of everything that
has happened. 1t was thought the
president would announce his decision
several days ago, but he changed his
mind and concluded to hold the case
open until late this week. It is be-
lieved he will act before starting east.
AS a result of the conferences in San
Francisco it is said at the department
of justice that the president and the
judges have finally reached common
ground and that whatever the presi-
dents action is, they will indorse it.
Letters and kilograms have beer
exchanged between Senator McCum-
ber, now understood to be at his home
in Wahpeton, and certain people In
San Francisco in an effort to secure
through McCumber the consent Of Nc
Kenzie's friends to the agreement the
president and judges seem to have
reached. The nature of this agree
mnt will not be discussed by the It
torney general. but it Is intimated that
both the president and the Judges
have yielded certain points.

Charles B. Landis, of the Ninth Indi
ana district. today said that if the

Il heartily endorse the action of
the board of officers Of West Point
in dismissing five Of the cadets for
indulging in hazing," said Lands.
''This practice Of hazing must be
eradicated even il we have to go to
the extremity Of closing the academy's g
doors. Congress is in the humor to
do just such thing as that and
unless the yourg men learn to behave
themselves the academy will be
closed long enough to stamp out this
hazing evil"

OFFICERS SWOOP DOWN UPON
DOWIE'S HAREM.
CHIEF CANNOT Be FOUND
Held Criminally Responsible for
Death Of Late Emma
Lucy Judd.

Chicago, May 23.-The coroner's
jury which has for two days listened
to the evidence in the case of Mrs.
Emma Lucy Judd, wife of one of the
officials of John Alexander Dowie's
"Zion," tonight returned a verdict
holding Dowie, H. w. Judd, husband
of the woman, and Mrs. Speecher and
Mrs. Bratsch to await the action of
the grand jury.
The two women named in the ver-
dict were in attendance upon Mrs.
Judd prior to her death. The charge
against them is criminal responsible
ty" for the death of Mrs. Judd.
The evidence given at the inquest
by some of the leading physicians of
the city, who had examined Mrs.
Judd's body after it had been ex-
humed, was to the effect that the
most simple surgical care would have
prevented the woman's death. They
testified that she was allowed to die
when the slightest attempt to save
her life would have been successful.
This evidence induced the jury to
declare that the people named were
responsible for the woman's death.
Papers were at once made out and
officers sent to arrest Dowie, Judd and
the two women. When the officers ar
rived at "Zion," Dowie was not to be
found. Mrs. Bratsch was arrested in
the building, and was promptly sent
to the county Jail, but H. w. Judd and
Mrs. Speecher were no more in evi
dence than was Dowie. 1t was an
nounced by the police that the search
would be kept up until the missing
three people were taken into custory

Upton WILL REPAIR WRECK
ED CHALLENGER.
ASKS FOR AN EXTENSION
Requests That Cup Races Be Post
poned Until First Week,
in October.

Southampton, May 23.-At confer
ence of his constructors and advisors,
held this afternoon on board the Erin,
Sir Thomas Upton told the gentlemen
that he was determined to go ahead
with Shamrock II. and left it to them
to direct how this best could be done.
He had a long discussion with Mr..
Watson, designer of Shamrock H.,
Mr.. Ratsey, sailmaker; Mr.. Wand,
manager of the Dennis company,
builders of the yacht; Captain Syca-
more, her skipper, and Messrs. Hill
lard and Ure, amateur yachtsmen
who have been sailing on board Sham
rock H., and it was agreed to cable
the New York Yacht club asking
that the date Of the contest be post
poned until the first week in October
in order to allow time for the neces-
sary repairs.
This action will give Dennis and
Ratsey time to do their parts Of the
work. 1t was decided to lose no time,
but to go ahead under full pressure
while awaiting reply from the New
York Yacht club as to whether an
extension would he granted Sir
Thomas expressed himself as ex-
tremely sorry at being forced to make
any request upsetting the arrange
ments already made, but he was left
with only the hull of his yacht. With.
out this extension of time he would
| be totally unable to bring his boat
over in anything like good form and
he said he sincerely hoped his request
would be granted.
| Speaking of the improvement in
| Shamrock l., Sir Thomas said he had
no doubt that this yacht had i'm.
| proved much since she sailed in
American waters, yet he felt per-
fectly certain she was far from being
as good a boat as the challenger
The latter, he said, had been improv
1 ing daily and although he now had
only the bare hull, without stick
over her, he was satisfied that on hel
temperance the challenger would
justify his confidence in her.
| Sir Thomas has received dozens o1
cables of sympathy from the United
States and hundreds of similar tele
groms from all parts of Great Brit
ain. Thomas w. Lawson cabled tc
Sir Thomas his deepest regret at the
accident and his heartfelt congratu
lations that all on board had escaped
He hoped that America would not be
deprived of seeing the Shamrocks this
season, but if it were impossible tc
bring them over, he expressed his will
lingness to take the independence
over Ito England and race each OF
both of the Shamrocks in British wa
ter. Sir Thomas replied to this mes
sage, expressing his gratitude at Mr.
Lawson's kind telegram and generous
offer, which he thoroughly appreci
ated, but said he was going over witt
the new Shamrock and if opportunity
offered he would be delighted to race
the Independence in American wa
ters.
