organization of the legislature on Monday.
But the wires are still kept busy between
Republican leaders and Senator Foraker
i'm Cincinnati and Hanna in Washington.
While both ono senuturs have become
directly involved in the contest through
the direct interest OF their respective fol-
lowers IL developed today that the lines
are not strictly drawn between their
friends. Many members concur with
George r. Cox of Cincinnati. in stating
that this fight Is not one for the suprem-
acy OF either Foraker or Hanna I'm Ohio.
and that they are on equally cordial re-
lations with both senators.
Some OF Hannas closest friends are for
Price and some of Foraker's for McKn-
non for speaker for personal, local or
other than factional reasons.
The lines are much more distinctly
drawn between what are known as the
Cox men and the Daugherty men. Two

LOEB THEORY.
Prof. Startling Says He Thinks
Little About Il.

New York. Jan. 3.--Professor Starring,
profess of physiology at the University
College OF Nerve Specialists. according to
a London dispatch, being asked concern
ing the discoveries OF Professor Loeb,
said:
Professor Loeb Is a man whose opinion
is worthy OF respect for no has accom-
plished great work in physiology. As 10
this particular theory, / think little: IL
was jump In the dark. one OF innumers-
BILE theories on the same subject. made
mp partly OF a number of views already
known TO the world. The living cell or
unity is "A brick wall. which psychologists
have been unable TO see through.
Yet we can tell what goes on outside
the cell. but no more. Professor Loeb's
theory is an attempt to see through the
wall.
one difficulty about this living thing is
that it not only goes down but up. IL
breaks down. then RECEIVERS itself, and
theories like Loeb's explain half the pro-
cess the breakdown, but fail 20 explain
the recovery.
The real problem Is the power OF build
ing up after breaking down. ~ Locb's
theory be partly true it only explains
part, the less important part. % the sec
ret OF living cells. This marks an adj
vance, but not an epoch"
Dr. Dawson Williams, editor OF the
British Medical Journal. said Professor
Loeb's explanation OF his theory con-
sisted OF lot OF assertions without a
shadow OF proof.
Professor william Ramsay. or Univers-
ity college. said he did not believe In the
Loeb theory. but qualified the remark by
saying no was unable 10 speak with au-
thority I'm the absence OF scientific details.

PLEADS GUILTY.
McK,nna Fined and Sentenced
TO jail for 10 Days.

The McKenna beer incident is closed.
II came abSut this way.
James Mckenna, driver in the employ
OF McKenna a. Conaty. had bene arrested
on the charge OF illegally selling five bot
ties Of beer 10 Patrolman Thomas Smith.
The officer hailed McKenna. said he
wanted five bottles of beer, was given the
latter and paid for 1t.
The transaction was upon "A public high
way and contrary 20 law.
Mckenna was arrested and twice the
hearing was postponed.
In the meantime there had been "a good
deal OF hustling: but the police commits
sfoaeFs were obdurate and said that the
case must stand or fall upon IT'S merits
and that there would be no let up.
There was another long talk yesterday
afternoon and the law was laid down
hard
Today James McKenna came into the
9th district court. retracted pleaded
guilty and was sentenced 60 pay fine of
$50 and costs and 10 serve ten days in Jail.
McKenna took his medicine.
The meaning OF this is that the police
commissioners told the bottlers, the en-
plOyers OF James McKenna i'm particular,
that hereafter the drivers must desist
from making illegal sales.
The drivers will be watched and prose-
cuted The employers must control their
drivers 10 the extent that the illegal sales
will cease.
IL the employers cannot so control their
drivers, then their licenses will be re-
voked and they must get out OF the busl-
ness
Because the first case brought has gone
as it has. &c does not mean that other
cases will be similarly disposed OF.
The bottleTs viii not be- allowed to
shelter themselves behind the scheme OF
now and then letting man go to Jail
No further excuses will be accepted.
The bottlers have generally agreed TO
follow closely the instructions OF tho po-
lice commissioners.
Some of them had already given posi-
tive orders TO their drivers not TO make
the prohibited sales and deliveries.

Mr.. Draper was the first witness called.
He testified that on or about the eighth
day OF April, 1899 he entered into an
agreement with James T. Hunt for the
conduct OF a loan business. Hunt. wit
ness said. first began talking about the
conduct OF a loan business in the previous
December. There was a good deal OF in
vestigating on Mr.. Drapors part as 10
Mr.. Hunts record He became satisfied
that the stories ne had heard concerning
Hunt were more derogatory TO others
than TO Hunt
BY the terms OF the agreement signed
by Mr.. Draper and Hunt they were to
enter into the business OF making collat-
eral loans. Mr.. Draper had a pawnbrok-
er's license and under the terms of the
agreement everything that might come
into the possession OF the loan concern
or any papers were 10 be the sole and
exclusive property OF Mr.. Draper.
The latter furnished all the money and
Hunt was paid a salary
Returns were TO be made the first OF
every month and Mr. Draper said Hunt
paid In all money received in the business
until November and then he discovered
from a statement obtained from the book
keeper that Hunt was short. Mr.. Draper
had a talk with Hunt I'm which the lat
ter admitted there might be "A mistake as
10 his sending all tho money as the
agreement called for. Later Mr.. Draper
said he received an account from Hunts
attorney in which several sums before
accounted for were set down.
Further discrepancies were discovered
and Mr.. Draper asked Hunt about them.
The latter said he was sorry that the
thing had happened. but it was chiefly
due 20 his drinking. Hunt also claimed ac-
cording 70 Mr.. Draper 10 have had other
troubles and said he though he could get
a.
Draper might speak 10 him on the street.
On cross-examination Mr.. Draper admit

ted that Hunt had sold watches and dia-
monds for him before April Sth. Counsel
for Hunt. +. u. owen. got Mr. Draper to
describe a last visit with Hunt to the Of
fee OF the Collateral Loan company on
Union street. Mr.. Draper said that he was
overcome with surprise when he found
the safe empty.
Hunt according 20 Mr.. Draper was
drunk. but witness did not recall that Hunt
said the money was In the safe the last
he knew. Mr.. Draper then broke up the
business of the Collateral Loan company.
lie denied that he owed Hunt anything
because Of the installment business pre-
vious TO the starting OF the Collateral
Loan company, nor did Hunt at the time
OF the breakup Of the business so claim.
MIR. Draper denied further that Hunt
ever presented bin for wages due. At
one interview Hunt, according to Mr..
Draper. said his Hunts, brother must
have stolen the money.
At the conclusion OF the cross-examina-
ton OF Mr.. Draper there was little dis
pute between Mr.. owen and Assistant
Attorney General Stearns. Mr.. Owen
sought by the last question he asked Mr..
Draper to get before the jury the fact
that the first criminal complaint against
Hunt was made to the grand jury there
being no district court proceedings as
usual.
Mr.. Stearns said the reason the case
was first brought before the grand Jury
was that Hunt was out of the state and
that IL was always best in extradltion
proceedings to have an indictment.
The defense opened it's case after the
noon recess. Hunt claimed that he be-
lieved there was money in the safe when
he went with Mr.. Draper 10 the Collateral
Loan company office, but later found
the money had heen taken out by another
person. Hunt also claimed Draper owed
him money in connection with another
line OF business.
