MONEY MUST STAND TRIAL.
The Mississippi Senator May Be Tried
in Police Court.

Washington, May 2.-There was a
lively session Of the police court here
yesterday when the case of Senator
Money, Of Mississippi, who was charg-
ed with assaulting a sthreet car con-
ductor named Shaner and fireman,
James e. Hooper, was called. It will be
recalled that Senator Money is alleged
to have cut Shaner after the latter had
elected the senator from a street car
for declining to pay his fare.
The conmotion grew out of the an
nouncenent of the prosecuting attor-
ney that 1t was his intention to nolle
PROSE- the case against the senator.
who has been Ill since the affray and
consequently was not able to appear.
r. Ross Perry, one of shaner's at
{ torneys, objected to this course of pro-
ceeding and characterized it as the
mist high-handed course he had ever
4 heard Of. So insistent were the attor-
neys for the conductor and fireman
that Judge Kmball finally decided to
set the case for hearing next Tues
4 day.
Senator McLaurin, the colleague of
the Mississippi senator, who is charged
with carving the conductor, presented
certificate from physician which set
forth that Senator Money was suffer-
ing with congestion or the lungs and
that he would not be able to appear for
some days.
Senator McLaurin was perfectly
willing to have the cases dismissed and
incidentally stated to the court that
there was no disposition on the part of
Senator Money to prosecute the con-
ductor and fireman, altho warrants had
been sworn out against them.
According to the statement of Sem
ator Moneys attorney and colleague,
the former does not care to have the
racket which took place on the street
car aired In the courts. The conduc-
tor and the fireman are not willing to
have the cases against them dropped.
They Insist on being acquitted, and in
this they are backed up by the COM
munity.
After being acquitted the men pro-
pose to prosecute their cases against
Senator Money, who is charged with
assault with a deadly weapon. The
knife was in his hand beyond all doubt,
and 1t is now understood the senator's
attorneys will appeal to the street car
company and the district government
to force the conductor and the fireman
to drop the cases, which are so easy to

as he sits in his quiet little room In

now in his seventy-ffth year, is more
or less reproachful of fate for not al
lowing him to be understood, says the
New York Times. He hopes, however,
that his forthcoming book, My Life
In Many States and In Foreign Lands"
may prove in way vehicle through
which his message may be compre-
hended. He has great faith in this
message but he says that lie has
learned TO modify his expressions
through experience. He has discarded
psychic telepathy and other extraOrdi
nary ideas. but he believes that wheth-
er or not his message viii be evident to
all he will at least have produced an
entertaining book dealing with a really
remarkable career.

mandarin, going from HongKong To
Shanghai had engaged the whole cab
in. L was very anxious to see this
great parsonage and soon had the op-
portunity. 1t is my practice when at
sea to take exercise by walking rapid
ly up and down the deck, thus cover
ing many miles a day. L was taking
my daily exercise the day when the
mandarin boarded the ship, and every
time 1 passed the cabin l noticed that
he followed me with his eyes. And so
we kept up for some time, I walking
as unconcernedIy as 1 could and the
great mandarin watching my move
ments as curiously as if 1 We're some
strange animal.
After awhile he called the first Off
Ger and asked what l was doing.
'Walking up and down the deck" he
was told. But why does he do it? Is
he paid for it?" The officer told him it
was for exercise. What is that?"
asked the Chinese great man. This
was explained to him, but he could not
understand why any one wanted to
walk up and down and do so much I'M
necessary work. The Chinese are not
averse to work. Indeed they are about
the I1OSL iHOliSlIlOuS BtOptC Oll Int lSNS
of the earth, but they do not do unnec-
essary work, having, l infer. to do
about as much necessary work as is
good for them. And this great digni-
tary pointed to me with scorn and
said. ..No. fOola." l hardly need ex-
plain that No. I throughout the east

conditions there he said that nearly
everybody who went up there came
back weighing more and in q much
better state of health generally. Lieu
tenant Peary said that he did not bring
any Eskimos south with him this time
for the reason that those he brought
several years ago had experienced such
a hard time, many of them succumbing
to pulmonary diseases.
How about those arctic animals
which you sent to New York and
which arrived here last Sunday-do
you think they viii be able to live in
this climate?'

was the king of the pack that pulled

OF his work in the arctic Lieutenant
Peary said that he had charted much
of the northern end and east coast of
Greenland and also filed in some gaps.
He had obtained much valuable scien-
tific information, he said, which was
principally geographical, but also mete-
geological and geological

few days and report for duty No; my
arctic work was entirely independent
OF the government. and 1 win not re-
port the results of that experience to

Suppose somebody does get to the
pole what do you think they viii
fnd?"
Ice - nothing but ice" Lieutenant
Peary answered.
Aerial navigation, Lieutenant Peary
said, is as yet in too primitive Il state
to be OF any use in arctic exploration.
His own failure to reach the pole, he
said, was due to lack of funds.
