THE MAN WHO MAY KNOW
BOUT BARTHOLIN MURDERS
Edward Counselman Is Put Through
the Sweat Box To-
day.

Chicago, Aug. 18.-Developments to-day
in the Bartholin1Mitchell murder mystery
have led the police to believe they are
nearer the solution of the problem that
has been puzzling them for over week
than ever before. Edward Counselman,
the intimate friend of William ]. Bartho-
lin, who was held for possible knowledge
of the crime, was taken before Justice
Quinn to-day and held for ten days in
bonds of $40, 900, charged with being ac-
cessory after the fact in the murder Of
Minnie Mitchell and Mrs. Anne Bartholin.
Counselman admitted he had met Bar
tholin and that Bartholin said he was in
trouble over Minnie Mitchell.
The most damaging testimony as to
Counselmans possible guilty knowledge
of the murders of the two women came
from a new witness whom the police
found to-day, W. M. Allen, fellow
workman of Counsalman's. Edwards
said that Ccunselman had told him re-
peatedly that he knew a great deal about
the trouble Bartholin was in. When AL
len suggested that Counselman 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 expressed the opinion
that Bartholin has easily had time to
reach the seaboard. Allen said that
COunSelman expressed the greatest anAl-
ETY. about the case as it developed in the
newspapers and that frequently Counsel
man would walk from the suburb Of Har-
vey, where the two men worked as far as
Kensington to secure the papers. Fol-
| For three days Counselman did not dc
any work because of nervousness.
The police have the testimony of an.
other witnes who is positive he saw Coun-
selman and Bartholin together on Aug
7, the day the body of Minnie Mitchell
was found.
! It is the purpose of the police to put
Councilman through the sweating ordea
to-day and they say they expect valua bic
results. Counselman's wife begged hin
repeatedly to tell the police all he knew
but so far Counselman has been obdurate
A note from Bartholin to CounselmaI
asking for money and saying that thu
writer was in trouble, Is held by the po
| lice. 1t was. this note which Counselma1
had tried to secure from his wife by chok
ing her, that led to his arrest.

More Evidence That the Russians

Special to The Journal.
Tacoma, Wash, Aug. 18.-Skaguay ad-
vices say the question of the destruction
of an old Russian monument in the dis
puted territory between Alaska and Brit
ish Yukon has been settled. S. Weitzman,
a merchant of Haines, arrived at Skaguay
with the news that Lieutenant Owens had
found two monuments in perfect repair
and definitely located the place where
third one had been destroyed. One of the
monuments discovered is about ten miles
above Rainy Hollow. The other is on the
Tahkeena river fifty miles from the coast.
Lieutenants Owens is now examining the
other portions of the boundary and will
secure statements of the Indians.
The monument destroyed was leveled to
the ground It's destruction evidently had
been wrought within a few months. Owens
also found an old stormhouse on the sum-
NIT. This was called the boundary house
when the Russians occupied the. country.
Walls of the building were falling down,
but there was every indication of occu-
patton at one time. <siit %$F.''-tt
This establishes beyond all doubt that
the Russians did occupy the territory now
disputed and that the boundary line, &C
cording to the treaty, is where the
Americans claim it to be. -

CHINESE TARIFFS
Treaties Signed by Many of the
Foreign Nations


Washington, Aug 1S.-The state depart
ment has received a dispatch from #. S.
Sharretts, the treasury expert who was
commissioned by the state department to
negotiate tariff treaty between the
United States and China, stating that the
treaty was signed on the 18th inst.
This treaty carried out the purpose
Secretary Hay had maintained throughout
the preceding negotiations for an "open
door," the desire being to open up foreign
communications with the interior Of
China.
Following the conclusion Of peace ar
rangements, Mr.. Sharretts was Selected to
carry on the tariff negotiations in behalf
of the United States
One Of the most important provisions of
the British China treaty was that abol-
ishing the likin tax 1t is presumed that
similar rates are made in the American
as far as it relates to American goods in
transit The abolition of the likin tax
will go far toward encouraging foreign
trade and traffic in the interior of
China.
London, Aug. 1S.-In a dispatch from
Shanghai the correspondent of the Times
says the protocol of the tariff treaty. was
signed Saturday by the British, American
German and Japanese representatives
without reservation, and by the Austrian
Belgian and Dutch representatives ad
referendum.
This action, continues the Times cor
respondent, was principally due to the
American commissioner ct. S. Sharretts)

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 18.-When General
r. A. Alger former secretary of war, was
asked to-day If he was ready to announce
his candidacy for the United States senate
to succeed the late James Mcmillan, he
said:
upon mature consideration have de-
cided to consider the matter few days
longer before arriving at a determination.
I shall reach decision some time this
week."
This is taken to mean that General AL
ger may not be candidate after all. The
News this afternoon says:
If his health Permits William c. McMil-
Ian will be candidate for United States SEN
ator, to succeed his father. This statement
is practically authoritative, although he has
told some of his closest personal and political
friends that he wishes to hold the matter in

LOURDES WATER
Government Engineer Asserts
Tint Fraud Is Practiced.

Paris, Aug 18.-Louis Probst, govern
ment engineer, asserts that most Of the
water given the pilgrims at Lourdes does
not flow from the grotto where the virgin
is said to have appeared, but is brought
from a. river in neighboring cave
through subterranean pipes, said to have
been secretly laid by monks years ago.
M. Probst occupies high position and
is firm Roman Catholic.
t. "A year ago he took his wife,, who was
afflicted with a malady the doctors had
pronounced incura BILE, to Lourdes, expect
ing cure by miracle, but as soon as she
plunged into the tanks she died.
While the arrangements for her funeral
were being made the engineer spent sew
eral days in observation. He noticed that
the water used in the bottling department
did not taste like that in the grotto, and
it occurred to him that the enormous
quantities consumed could not be fur
nished by the scant grotto spring.
Afterward he got authority from the
government to investigate and now he has
made a report Mn which he gives chart
of underground channels and analyses
showing different chemical elements. in
Ethe waters. - ..-..s .-... ..-....s.ea> f.
Last year nearly 100000 pilgrims went
to Lourdes and the monks in charge con-
tributed $3.50, to st. Peters papal fund,
besides buying more land and buildings.
Lourdes was a mere hamlet fifteen
years ago. To-day 1t is a beautiful, solid
ly built city Of $4,000 Inhabitants.

4 NEW INSURANCE DEAL
FOR UNIFORM POLICY CLAUSES
Committee of Various Boards
FOrmulntes Eleven
Clauses.

New York, Aug. 18.-F. G. Moore, chair
by the national board of fire underwriters
and seven other prominent insurance ood-
les to formulate q uniform set of policy
clauses and forms for use throughout
the United States, has issued his report
Eleven clauses of uniform wording have
been devised by the committee at the ses-
sions which were attended by representa-
tives of the national board, England ex-
change, the New York state fire UNDER
writer's association, the Western Union,
the middle department. the southeastern
tariff association, the Philadelphia un-
derwriters' association and the New York
fire insurance exchange.
The forms recommended for adoption
by these bodies comprise the following:
Telephone, lightning, cold storage 1.-TWO al
tentative clauses, average, reduced rate aver
age, rent electricity lumber, clear space, mill
yard lumber and sprinkler clauses. >'.-*.
'@ The uniform lightning fTclause recon-
,nended precludes all possibility of claim
for! electrical damage ito dynamos; wiring
or other electrical appliances, in order
that the ordinary lightning clause at
tached to policies covering buildings con-
tanning dynamos and other electrical ap-
pliances should not subject the companies
to claims for loss which was not con-
lemplaCed.
The 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 consequenta
damage although this damage would probably
be excepted under the standard policy with
out any special clause or notice.
(b) A clause assuming the consequential
damage. for which charge should be made
this charge OF rate to be determined by tn,
| rating organization like the New York Fir'
Insurance exchange others.
| 1t is probable that company will as
sumo the additional hazard for an addi.
tional premium.
| These uniform clauses are now promul
gated by reason of an authorization Of tht
national board Of fire underwriters which
gave the conference committee full power
at it's annual meeting last May.

Special to The Journal.
Grand Forks, N. D., Ang. 19.-Taking
the cue from the recent republican legis
lative convention in Nelson county a
quiet effort Is being made to induce M.
N. Johnson, Of Petersberg, to become a
When the resolutions instructing the leg
islative candidates in Nelson for Johnson
were passed, it was regarded as a COM
pliment to the former congressman which
would really cut little figure as it was
not thought there was any possibility OF
Johnson becoming a candidate. The op-
position to Hansbrough, however, is en-
deavoring to get enough candidates into
the field to divide Hansbrough's strength
and by mixing the situation badly to make
it possible to defeat him. It is known
that Johnson would like~to see Hans
brough beaten and consequently he Is
being urged to announce his candidacy.
Some we'll known politicians assert that
he will be candidate.
Although things are not coming the
way Of Senator Hansbrough the situation
at the present time points to his re-elec-
tion. The opposition is meeting with poor
success in bringing out favorite sons. His
friends have been active in the republican
| legislative conventions and have been
fairly successful. There is comparatively
little federal patronage to divide in this
ugnL DuC the alllalCeS HduSDrOu6H
formed six years ago in placing appoint
ments and his success in delivering the
goods" have given him much prestige
and strength for this contest. There are
republican candidates for the legislature
who have been nominated in opposition
to the plans of Hansbrough's friends, but
| in many instances these men are not per
sonally unfriendly to the senator. They
could be used in forming an opposition
phalanx if the proper leader was on the
ground to organize it, but the leader is
lacking.
The democrats are planning to increase
their voting strength in the Legislature
through bitter differences of republican
factions in various parts of the state
There is much soreness In Grand Forks
county over the result in the sixth dis.
trict J. D. Bacon, assisted by loca
workers, made a successful fight against
the Hansbrough supporters headed BY
William Bulge, chairman of the state
central committee. Sheriff James Collins
the Hansbrough candidate, is personally
we'll liked, but there was much objection
to the effort to pledge the district fol
Hansbrough in advance. The democrats
say that they will nominate M. F. Murphy
and believe that the bitterness between re
publican fact ions will aid in pulling tht
democratic ticket through.
