EXPECTS THE PENSION
MRS. BENJAMIN HARRISON OUT IN
A STATEMENT
Has Not Asked That the Bill for Her
: Benefit he withdrawn From
COnsideratiOn-Her In
come Exaggerated.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. 23.-F'riends
of Mrs. Benjamin Harrison widow of
ex-President Harrison, have had their at
tention called to statements published in
several papers to the effect that she had
asked those in charge of the movement
to grant her pension not to present the
bill to congress. This is incorrect.
They say Mrs. Harrison has at no time
made any objection to the presentation
Of such a bill and still believes she mat
ter can with propriety be presented to
congress, inasmuch as the surviving wild
Ows of other ex-presidents have been re-
cipients of the same official recognition by
congress. Widows of Presidents Tyler,
POLK, Garfield and Grant were given pen
sions, Mrs. William Henry Harrison was
voted $4,000 by congress, which was at
that time the amount of the president s
salary, and Mrs. Mckinley will receive a
pension, the bill having been recently re-
ported faVorably.
Mrs. Harrison was seen at her home to-
night and was asked if she had requested
that the bill not be presented. She said
mo, | have made no such request at
any time. have supposed that congress
would accord the same recognition of eX-
President HarrisOn's services by granting
to his widow a pension as have been
granted to those Of other presidents My
desire to give my daughter the same adj
vantages she would have enjoyed had
her father lived is my chief thought in
the matter
Mrs. Harrison was asked if it were
true, as has been printed, that she is now
enjoying an income of $4,000 year. She
expressed surprise that such a statement
should have been published, saying her
income was nothing approaching that
amount

A
BIG STEAL
DISCREDITED FRENCHMAN PLACED
UNDER ARREST
Had Almost Secured Control of Two
Hundred Thousand Tens of Steel
on What Are Alleged to
BE Forged Papers.

CHICAGO Jan. 23.-A conspiracy by
defrauded out of 100000 tons of steel is
charged against Charles Jules Francois,
alias Count dc Neufchatteau, who was
arrested here Monday for alleged failure
to pay a hotel bill
Francois, who first said he was a
French count, then that he was the son
of a wealthy Belgian contractor, has been
negotiating with the officials of tne Amer
lean Steel and Wire company for more
than a month The local company being
but a branch of the trust, had referred
to headquarters his proposition to pur-
chase such a great amount of material
on payment of only a fraction Of the
total price, and it is said the deal was
lust about to be closed when his arrest
came
The steel, the pseudo noblenan san,
was for the use of the French govern
ment which he claimed to be represent
ing on a secret mission to buy supplies
fer the army. The steel was to be use,
Francois said, in the manufacture of
artillery, the making of armor for bat
tleships and by the engineer corps, in
which he claimed to have the rank Of
brigadier general, for wires and appli-
ances for battle field operations.
Francois had what he said were ere
dentials from the French army. The
French consul in Chicago has declared
that the seals borne by these letters were
not genuine.

MAKE HASTE SLOWLY
THE CASE AGAINST MEGAARDEN
IS FULL OF LEGAL
Tits
DEFENSE WILL ADMIT NOTHING
State Prepared to Show That He
Charged 500 for Services
When He Should Have
Charged SI4.

The twelfth juror was secured in the
Megaarden case yesterday afternoon at
8 o'clock, and following the completion
Of the jury the case for the state was
opened by w. c. Leary, assistant county
attorney, who after reading the long in
6ictment, briefly stated the case for the
State and summed up by saying:
I'VE shall prove that Philip T. Me
garden, as sheriff of Hennepin county,
received at Minneapolis six children to
be taken to the state training school at
Red Wing. That he received all six
children on the same day, and delivered
all of them to one deputy. sheriff, who
took them to the depot in Minneapolis
without hiring a hack, and took them on
4he train to Red Wing, where he hired
q hack at that point at the stated price
of Sl.50 to convey them from the station
to the school, and that the railroad fare
from Minneapolis to Red Wing was half
rates.
I'VE shall prove that the actual money
expended by the defendant was but $14
but that his bill presented to the county
commissioners was for $50. That he
presented the bill pretending to show
that each of the six children were carried
to Red Wing on different days"
Judge SJeels, for Megaarden, made an
objection to the introduction Of testimony
because the Indictment was insufficient
and did not charge a crime. Then COM
menced a series Of legal Tits between
County Attorney Boardman and Judge
Steele and Merrill.
The county attorney asked the defense
IF it was willing to admit that Megaar-
den was sheriff at the time the bill was
presented, but it would not do so, con-
seGuently the deputy county auditor
was sworn TO prove that Megaarden was
sheriff. The defense objected to this
evidence on the grounds that 1t was not
necessary 10 prove the defendant was
Sheriff, rs the statute under which the
indictment was drawn provided that
any person who should present a fraud
Nlent bill, knowing it to be so, was guilty
The objection was overuled, and Mr..
COndit and A. w. Sl1oog, deputy register
Of deeds, proved the fact that Megaarden
was sheriff then and is now.
The balance of the afternoon was taken
mp by the county attorney in endeavoring
Ito get into evidence the bill which Me-
garden presented, and the warrant
which was issued in payment of it. A.
P. Erickson. deputy auditor and clerk of
the board of county commissioners, and
j. 3. Ryberg were both CALLED and sworn
on the question, but up to the time of
adjournment the fact had not been
proven satisfactorily to the county at
Eorney.

is MILLIONS IN HYDROL
CID GERMAN VINEGAR MAKER HAS
GREAT DISCOVERY.

q PEORIA, Ill, Jan. 23.-The Cereal
Sugar company, of Peoria, has, through
an old German vinegar maker, discovered
a process whereby one gallon of hydrOl,
a by-product in the refining of sugar,
can be made to yield one gallon of ex-
cellent crude spirits and about three gal
Ions of good vinegar. The discovery has
caused a great deal of interest among
the glucose and distillery people.
The commercial value of hydol is
cents per gallon. One gallon of crude
spirits is worth $132 on the market
There is a tax Of $1,10 per gallon on it
and the cost of producing is about
cents per gallon, leaving a profit of Il
cents per gallon, as against profit of
cents on the hydrOl. From these figures
alone the Importance OF the discovery can
be judged. The company will put in q
still and secure patents covering the dis
covery and begin the manufacture of
crude spirits at once.

The time of service for the latter is too
