TRUTHFULNESS OF JONES
Subject of an Investigation-Testi-
mony Taken by Commissioner
M. j. McAndrew.

Testimony was taken yesterday by
Attorney NJ. j. McAndrew, sitting as
commissioner, on a rule for a new trial
in the case of the Commonwealth
against Michael kosh. The latter was
tried and convicted at the last regular
| term of criminal court of having placed
distractions on the Delaware. Lacka-
wanna and Western track, near the
Mount Pleasant coliery.
The chief witness for the common
wealth was Frank Jones. n switchman,
who alleged that he saw Kosh place
the obstruction on the rails. After the
conviction Attorney Joseph f. Gilroy,
who defended Kosh. asked for a new
trial, alleging that Jones' reputation
for truth was of such a character that
a man ought not be convicted on his
uncorroborated testimony
H. F. Ferber. superintendent of the
bureau of fires, and Frank Hutchinson
testified at yesterdays hearing that
Jones reputation for truth was not
good; that they would not believe him
under oath, and would not convict any
man on his uncorroborated evidence.
Louis Schoen testified that he was
told Jones circulated untrue stories
about him. He knew to a certainty
that the stories We're untrue, but he
never had positive proof that Jones put
them in circulation.
Other witnesses sworn We're Thomas
Williams, captain of police; Patrolman
Conrad Marker, THOMAS Conlan, Adam
Steinhauser, Harry Decker, Michael
Ruane, Charles Stetter and G.. w.
Myers. Nearly all of these were mem
bers of the volunteer fire department,
of which Jones was a member. They
testified they had never heard Jones
reputation for truth questioned. There
will be another hearing today. District
Attorney Lewis appears against the
rule.

MRS. NATIONS PARTY.
Delivers Address and Organizes
"The Prohibition Alliance"

The prediction that Prohibition would
occur in the name of the new political
party to be formed by Mrs. Carrie Ma
ton, was a good one. She liked the
word Prohibition" and that settled it.
The full name of the new production is
THE Prohibition Alliance This party
was started last night at the Free Meth
Odist church in Parkdale, when ninety
five charter members elected officers
with no time limit
The house was filled, but a large
number of those present were boys and
young men who expected that smash
ing crusade would take the place of a.
circus concert after the show. They
wanted to be in at the smashing and see
the fun, SO they came early to avoid
the rush. But such was not the pur-
pose of the meeting, and although Mrs.
Nation was almost the whole show there
were other enthusiasts present Miss
Blanche Boies, the woman who broke
into fame a few months ago by horse
whipping Mayor Parker, was there. She
was elected secretary of the alliance.
George Hull was chosen president and
J. S. Whitney vice president. The other
ninety odd members are all vice presi-
dents according to the order of the
signatures. Although no funds for
campaign have made themselves visible.
a treasurer was elected in the person of
Thomas Bell.
The officers were chosen according to

nominated for the same office she hastily
took a vote on number one and announced
him the winner, not deeming it worth

Mrs. Nation closed the meeting by
promising her followers to address them

some business will be transa cted, resolu-
tons adopted, and some scheme formu-
lated for the resurrection of funds to
carry on the campaign.

affair is the German emperor The stead
lily growing cordially in Anglo-American
intercourse is the cause of much anxiety
to the kaiser. To shake and, if possible,
to destroy that cordially is the real mo-
tive of attempts to hatter public opinion
in the United States which have char
acterized his majesty's recent policy-the
building of his yacht in an American
shpyard the selection of an American
girl to name the yacht and the dispatch
of Prince Henry to the United states
with trunks full of decorations and vol
ume of hOneyed speeches carefully re-
vised by his imperial brother and ruler.
1t is with the design of divorcing the
Anglo-American menage that the en-
peror has cajoled the British government
into acting with him, for the operations
against Venezuela can scarcely fail to
create situation that will allow him
to say to the United States: You see
Coddin's the friend, not Short
The situation so ardently desired by
the emperor is rapidly being brought
about. German force already has
wantonly and needlessly destroyed the
few inoffensive little hulks which Nene-
zuela dignifed with the name of a navy.
Just as the trophy of Miltiades prevented
Themstocles from sleeping, so Deweys
laures appear to be keeping the German
emperor awake, for his one desire of late
is, apparently, to sink something-even a
Haytian dereict or a Venezuelan gum
boat undergoing repairs. That act OF
destruction, however, may prove to be
the fatal move which, by incensing the
Venezuelans and provoking them to offer
a stubborn resistance, may lead to the
direct intervention of the United States.
1t has already caused the British COVER 50
ment to disavow any participation in EN-
act; so, instead of sowing the Seq n
distrust between England and Anne wa.
the emperor has merely disclosed the rims
that his collaboration Is not IN SYM NOR
with him. -
Still, 1t is impossible to regard the act
ual situation without uneasiness, and no
effort should be spared to bring this debt
collecting crusade to a close, for any
thing is possible with an administration
that does not know when to say no, a
British cabinet that is as malleable as
wax and a wicked partner in the shape
of the German emperor. whose impetu-
osity in rushing forward Is only surpass-
ed in his precipitation in drawing back.
