TOLLS TIGHTENING
AROUND COUNSELMAN
Bartholin's Intimate Friend Appears to
Be In Serious Trouble.

CHICAGO, Aug. 18.-Developments to-
day in the Bartholin Mitchell murder
mystery have led the police to believe
they are nearer the solution Of the prob
lem that has been puzzling them for over
week than ever before. Edward Coun-
selman, the intimate friend Of William
j. Bartholin, who was held for possible
knowledge of the crimes, was taken be-
fore Justice Quinn today and held for ten
days in bonds of $4,000, charged with
being accessory after the fact in the muir
ders of Minnie Mitchell and Mrs. Annie
Bartholin. CounseIman admitted he had
met Bartholin and that Bartholin said he
was In trouble over Minnie Mitchell.
The most damaging testimony as to
Counselman's possible guilty knowledge
from a new witness whom the. police
found today, w. NJ Allen, a fellow work
man of CounSelnan. Allen said that
Counselman had told him repeatedly that
ne knew great deal about the trouble
Bartholin was in. When Allen suggested
that, Counse1man tell the police what he
knew, the latter said he would do no such
thing; that Bartholin was his friend and
that he was too shrewd for the police.
Allen said that Counselman even ex-
pressed the opinion that Bartholin had
easily had time to reach the seaboard
Information was received by the po-
lice tonight that Counselman met Bar
tholin in Harvey, ILL.,, on Monday night,
Aug. IL, two days after the body of Mrs.
Bartholin was exhumed from the grave
in the basement of her home and four
days after the remains of the Mitchell
girl were found.

the trusts, is about to give the coun-
try the assurance that the tariff will
not be touched, and ought not to be
touched.
Considered in the light of the tariff
plank of the Iowa platform this as
surance, rendered in plain terms, Is a
declaration that the prevailing tariff
schedules do not afford shelter to
monopoly This is the sum and
substance Of Secretary Shaw's forth
coming speech. of the Iowa and Mime
sofa state Republican platforms. of
the supposed adherence of President
Roosevelt and his administration to the
doctrine of reciprocity and tariff re-
vision, and is expressive of the real
attitude of the Republican party
toward the tariff and the trusts. 1t will
be the duty of the Democratic opposi-
ton to convey to the country the full
significance to the industrial life of the
country of this attitude.

UNIFORM INSURANCE
POLICY CLAUSES
Recommendations of the Conference
Committee Named by Fire
Underwriters.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.-F. C. Moore,
chairman of the conference commit
tee named by the national board of
fire underwriters and seven other
prominent insurance bodies to formu-
late uniform set of policy clauses
ana forms for use throughout the
United States, has issued his report.
Eleven clauses of uniform wording
have been devised by the committee at
the sessions.
The forms recommended for adop-
ton by these bodies comprise the fol-
lowing: Telephone, lightning, cold
storage (two alternative clauses), aver
age, reduced rate average, rent, cleo
trtclty, lumber. clear space, millyard
lumber and sprinkler clauses.
The uniform lightningelause recon-
mended precludes all possibility Of
claim for electrical damage to dyna-
mos, wiring, or other electrical appli-
ances, in order that the ordinary light
ming clause attached to policies cover
ing buildings containg dynamos and
other electrical appliances should not
subject the companies to claim for a
loss which was not contemplated
Inc conference committee found the
conditions of the situation with regard
to cold storage warehouses manifold
The committee therefore thought it's
duty as to cold storage twofold:
A-That of preparing clause which
should especially except any claim for
consequential damage, although this
damage would probably be excepted
under the standard policy without any
special clause or notice. B-A clause
assuming the consequential damage,
for which charge should be made;
this charge or rate to be determined
by the rating organization like the
New York Fire Insurance Exchange
or others.
1t is probable a company will assume
the additional hazard for an additional
premium.

JUSTICE SHIRAS
ABOUT TO RETIRE
He Will Leave the United States SUI
preme Court Bench Early
Next Year.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Aug. 1S.-'Tt is
true that my father expects to retire
from the bench of the supreme court
early in the coming year. said George
Shiras III. today.
This is the first direct statement
sonfirmatory of the report that Justice
Shiras contemplated leaving the bench.
Speaking of his retirement, Attorney
George Shiras III. said:
There is no particular reason be-
hind the retirement, except that my
father believes that there is wisdom in
the law passed by congress enabling
judges to retire when they have reach
ed the age Of seventy years.
Il do not know that a positive time
has been set. One report, 1 see, says
that he will leave the bench in April
next. My opinion is that if he remains
there that long he will continue in
service until May, when the adjourn
ment of the court occurs"

UNFOLDING THE TARIFF.

Confirmation comes unexpectedly
from Washington of the correctness
of the view of the Iowa Republican
platform which has found expression in
these columns. What is probably an
authorized statement of the attitude of
the Iowa Republicans toward the tar
If is contained in the published sum-
mary of the approaching speech of Sec
rotary Shaw, to be delivered in Yer
mont. That summary involves an abb
solute negative of the claim which has
been put forward in every newspaper
m the country except the inspired ad-
ministration organs, that the Iowa
platform was expressive of a Repub-
ican desire or purpose to favor the re-
vision of the tariff.
There will be no revision of the tariff
under Republican control. There will
be no interference with the tariff
schedules. The position assigned to
Secretary Shaw as the spokesman of
the administration, of opposing tariff
legislation, and doing so with the sane
ton of the. tariff plank of the Iowa
platform, is familiar one. The only
remarkable circumstance attending the
incident is the one that the expecta-
tons of the tariff-revising Republicap
brethren should be so promptly and
ruthlessly smashed.
President Roosevelt is a shrewd poJj-
uc1an, or he Is advised by shreWd pol-
tticians. He and his administration
pretend to occupy the attitude of OBJ
posing the trusts. Very wisely, they only
assumed the position after congress
had adjourned. McKinley's attitude on
reciprocity was good enough doctrine
on that subject until congress assem-
bied. Even now, after reciprocity in
every form has been discarded the
friends Of the administration are con-
Quoting their campaign against the
congressional insurgents on the basis
of the opposition of the insurgents to
reciprocity legislation.

EXTEND RICE STREET LINE

The demand for the extension of the

council should enforce. It is one which

were there any willingness on the part
of the existing street car concern to
meet the public demands without be-
ing forced to do so.
Until Aid. Murphys insistence bore
fruit the street car service on Rice
street was such as to be an almost in
superable barrier against the prog
ress Of that section of the city. The
service itself was poor and the cars
were, in their condition and character
an approach to a public nuisance. The
presence of the larger cars on the Rice

Relatively, the Rice street line is
shorter than any other in the city. 1t
runs through a thickly populated dis
trict to its end. 1t does not even run
the entire distance which includes the
thiclxly populated district within that
section. Instead of five-block extern
sion, the street car corporation could
well extend the line an additional mile
or two without any serious impairment
of it's profits or any increase of its ex-
penses. If ever the slightest desire
existed to voluntarily meet the public
demands.

insist on the immediate fulfllment of

the Rice street line at least to the city
