DUPES DETECTIVES
Chicago Womanls Is Too Much
for the SIeuths.

CHICAGO, Oct. 14.-The inability of
Detective Sergeants Coniek and Gull
hane, of Chief O'Neills office, to under
stand Yiddish resulted yesterday In
their failure to make an important ar
rest, when late in the afternoon they
raided an alleged fence" at 485 Hal
Sted street.
Diamonds, silgerware, jewelry and
other articles valued at $4,000 and
representing, it is declared, the proceeds
of many burglaries, were recovered by
the detectives, but Benjamin Hat
towski, known as the proprietor of a
secondhand store at the place raided,
escaped arrest.
Mrs. Hattowski, the wife. of the pro-
prietor, was alone in the stores when
the detectives entered She became
greatly excited when the officers began
search and ran to telephone. The
detectives were busy seeking stolen
property and paid little attention to
her. They had been Informed by Mrs.
Hattowski that her husband would re-
turn soon, but after waiting for more
than an hour, Conick finally realized
that they had been duped by the
woman.
Say, Culhane, we are foolish for
hanging round here waiting for Hat
towski," he said.
What makes you think so?" asked
Culhane. 'Hattowski will be here soon
because his wife expects him"
Perhaps you might think So" re-
marked Conick, but don't you remem-
Der when we were busy searching the
premises Mss HattowsN was talking
Yiddish to some person over the tele-
phone? She was talking to her hus-
band and you can bet he won't be
around here again this evening
Conick proved to be right, for,
although the officers waited some time
Hattowsh failed 20 return. The of
ficers took the alleged stolen property
to the Central station. They claim they
have recovered the plumber taken in at
least forty burglaries
Among the articles found in the place
are 100 gold and silver watches, $50
watch movements, two diamond sum
bursts, three sealskin coats and many
pieces of silverware and jewelry. They
, say that already part of the silveYware
has been identified as the proceeds of
a burglary committed at the home of

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 14.-By
the express order of Postmaster Gen
eral Payne all employees of the postof-
fee department are preserving the ut
most silence regarding the journey of
Mae C. Wood to New York. Early
this morning the postmaster general
summoned to his Office all persons sus-
pected of having discussed the case for
publication and cautioned them that
any utterances from their lips which
would tend to Increase the burden of
scandal under which the department
already is laboring would be considered
provocation sufficient for dismissal.
According to reports in the depart
ment, the postal officials are as much
put out by the Platt-Janeway- Wood
affair as are the principals. 1t is de-
clared that Miss Wood primarily was
responsible for the postal scandal in
vestigation which has resulted in the
numerous indictments and charges
against high officials. 1t is asserted
that while working in the New York
city postoffice one of the officials made
a remark derogatory to her character
She Immediately, 1t is said, began a
systematic campaign for revenge.

The chances for the election of the

ment If We can only keep up an eff

many Hall, said, when shown Mr.. Cut
ting's statement, that he thought the

laspsed.
They had better indorse our whole

ESCAPES ODD SECT
Mrs. r. c. Adds Rescued From
Flying Rollers.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-. Oct 14-John H.
Hoskins, of San Francisco, arrived in
Benton Harbor today to rescue a sis
ter, Mrs. R. c. Adds, and her family
from the dominion of the Flying Rollers,
the strange religious sect which has
formed a community at Benton Harbor
and which is taught by it's two leaders,
Benjamin and Mary, that all the world
will be destroyed in a few years ex-
cept their settlement Mr. Adds wrote to
her brother begging for financial aid
so that the family could find their way
from the settlement back to their home
in San Francisco.
Mr.. Hoskins was denied an interview
with his sister by both Benjamin and
Mary and came upon her only by
chance After pathetic meeting and
plans for the return trip had been made
the leading men of the sect refused to
allow the woman to go. When legal
proceedings were threatened they
weakened on condition the affair would
not find its way into the newspapers.
Adds a few years ago was a pros
porous druggist in San Francisco, but
he gave up his business and home and,
turning all of his earthly possessions
into the treasury of the flock, took up
his abode with the people in Benton
HarbOr.

DRESSER BLAMFS
SCHWAB FOR WRECK
Withheld Profits of Bethlehem
Company and Used Dummy
Directors.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE inquiry
before a referee into the affairs of the
stranded shipbuilding combination at
the instance of the Bondholders' Pro-
tective association was resumed today
ments that will claim the attention of
the financial world and those who fol-
low its fortunes.
1t developed that yesterday D. Leroy
Dresser, late president of the Trust
Company of the Republic, who last
week divulged much of the inner his
tory of the formation of the combina-
tion, made an effort to communicate
with Charles M. Schwab with view to
obtaining some concessions as to the
Bethlehem Steel works that would
render easier the scheme for rehabili-
tating the partly wrecked concern.
The message of Mr.. Dresser was de-
livered to Mr.. Schwab by Mr. Harris,
of the brokerage house of Harris, Gates
& Co, which marketed part of the
shipbuilding stock, but Mr. Schwab
declined to see Mr.. Dresser
w. D. Guthrie, counsel for Mr..
Schwab, brought the facts of the in
cident out at the hearing in a series
of questions directed to Mr.. Dresser.
His aim was to show that Mr.. Dresser
had sought to plead with Mr.. Schwab
and had threatened to make certain
disclosures when recalled to the stand
that would reflect on Mr.. Schwab. Mr..
Dresser denied that he had gone to
plead with Mr.. Schwab or to threaten
him, for he had no additional informa-
ton to divulge, but had sought to ap-
proach him in the hope that something
might be done to save the shipbuilding
company.
Dresser asserted that the shipbuild-
ing company had been wrecked be-
cause Mr.. Schwab had withheld the
profits of the Bethlehem company. This
declaration he twice spiritedly repeated
when at the end of the oss-examina-
ton by Mr.. Guthrie he was given an
opportunity to explain.

NEW YORK, Oct. IA note was
sent to Senator Platt's room at mid
night, saying it was reported that Miss
Mae c. Woods pending suit against
him had been settled. Senator Platt
sent this reply:
IT have no doubt the report is true.
/ have had the same information my
self. I have seen the statements about
Miss Wood in the newspapers and re-
gret that anything should have been
published to her discredit. OF course,
all the suggestions in regard to law
suits are absurd and ridiculous.

time. and, with the senators from her
own state, recommended her for a po-
sition in the postoff1ce department. So
far as / know she has performed her
duties satisfactorily. / regard her as
a lady of fine attainments."
Miss Wood appeared in person to-
night at the Manhattan hotel. Up to
this time she has been invisible to re-
porters. Late this afternoon two
strangers, understood to be Miss
Woods lawyers. visited Senator Platt
at his hotel. They were closeted with

TILLMAN JURY OUT SURPRISE is SPRUNG
Slayer of Gonzales Now Awaits
the Verdict.

LEXINGTON, S. c.. Oct. 1.-THE
closing arguments in the case of j. H.
Tillman were made today and at 1:42
p. m. Judge Gary gave the case to the
jury.
The arguments consumed two and a
half days. Senator Tillman, uncle of
the defendant, was present today. Col.
Croft made the closing address for the
defendant and final appeal for his ac-
quittal. In summing up the defend
ants case he dwelt upon the testimony
of witnesses for the defense relative to
the position of Gonzales hands as he
approached Tillman. He also pressed
the point that the defendant was to be
judged in the light of circumstances as
they appeared to him.
Col Croft was followed by Gen. G. D.
Bellinger, who closed for the state, and
made the final argument of the trial.
Gen. Bellinger made a general summing
up of the states case, analyzing and
comparing it with the testimony of
witnesses for the defense. calling espe-
cial attention to the witnesses whose
veracity had been attacked by the
state.
Counsel having concluded, Judge
Gary Immediately proceeded to charge
the jury. Having defined homicide, the
court instructed the jury that the de-
fendant set up plea of self defense,
and that to sustain that plea he must
satisfy the jury by preponderance of
evidence, not beyond reasonable doubt,
of four things:
That he was without fault in bringing
on the difficulty; that he believed at
the time it was necessary to take the
life of his adversary TO save his own
life, or to save himself from serious
bodily harm; that a man Of ordinary
firmness, prudence and courage in a
like situation would have come to the
same conclusion; and that he had no
probable means of escape.
In explanation of what constitutes a
preponderance OF testimony the court
said: IF you put the evidence in IA
vor Of the plea in one plan of the bal
ance and the evidence against the plea
in the other, and the evidence In favor
bears down the evidence against the
plea, it preponderates or outweighs
and the plea is established"
Continuing, the court charged: '1t
Is necessary for the state to establish
its case to your satisfaction beyond a
reasonable doubt, not slight, vague or
whimsical doubt"
Concluding, the court said: Gentle
men, bring to bear on the case your
best judgment and find verdict ac-
cording to the facts, disregarding any
outside claim or that too many homi-
cides have gone unpublished"
When Judge Gary left the court
house for his hotel at 8 p. m, there
had been no communication Of any
sort from the jury room. The judge in
structed the sheriff that should the
Jury desire to communicate with him
at any time during the night he would
get up and receive them.

POstoffice Department Used
Concealed Stenographer.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Oct. 14.-Stand-
ing room was In demand in the United
States district court room on the sec
ond day of trial of Miller and Johns
for conspiracy and bribery in con-
nection with the recently exposed
postal frauds. Nine witnesses were
examined today, and the government
has four more to call. SO that the de-
Tense will not begin till the afternoon
of the third day, and the case may not
go to the jury until the last day of the
week
Much interest is being taken in the
anticipated appearance of the Defend
ants on the witness stand. Court was
in session today from 9 a. m. until
after p. m. The principal witnesses
were Ryan and the officials from Wash
ington The defense was not taken by
surprise until in the afternoon, when
the stenographic reports of the private
secretaries of Fourth Assistant Post
master General Bristow and of Gen.
Robb of interviews with Miller were
introduced as evidence.
Joseph T. Watson, secretary and
stenographer to the fourth assistant
postmaster general, testified to being
concealed in the Office of his chief
while Gen. Robb and Chief Inspector
Cochran had their first interview with
Miller about the reports of the post
cisions in the Ryan case and the dis
covery of his relations with Johns He
then read from his original stenograph-
ic notes all that was said during the
two hours, and then these officers were
questioning Miller regarding the case.
1t required one hour and half for
him to read the notes, which he went
over much more quickly than the in
terview was carried on. The differ
ence of an hour IN time was accounted
by the witness because of the hesita-
ton of Miller at times during the inter-
view.
The sensational appearance of Wat
son on the stand was followed soon
afterwards by Charles II. Robb, as
sistant attorney general for the post
Office department, being called, and hs
produced copy Of the Transcribed
stenographic notes of his secretary,
Mr.. Tullis, Of another long interview
with Miller when the same parties
were present
AT the first meeting OF Miller and
Robb with Cochran the defendant did
not know stenographer was con-
cealed In the room, as he did in the
last instance, when he made an equally
lengthy statement and signed the re-
port made by Mr.. Tullis. The extent
Of tie detective work that has been
done in these cases by the government
was never disclosed until during the
afternoon session, when verbatim re-
ports of these interviews with Miller
were submitted In evidence, notWith-
standing the objection and exception
of counsel for the defense. II Is now
known that more Of the detective work
of the government will be disclosed
tomorrow, when postoffice inspectors
are to take the stand.

Speaking In Chicago Former
President Offers Solution
for Corrupt Politics.

CHICAGO, Oct 14-"Give to our
people something that will concentrate.
their common affection and solicitous
care-and let that be their country's
good; give them a purpose that stim-
ulateS them to unite in lofty endeayor
and let that purpose be a demonstra-
ton OF the efficiency and benificence
of our popular rule" This was the
solution offered by former President
Grover Cleveland, as a remedy for cor
rupt politics, in a speech before the
members of the Commercial club at
their annual banquet given at the Au-
dttorium hotel tonight The subject
discussed by Mr.. Cleveland was Amer
lean Good Citizenship" and he dwelt at
length on the necessity of every citizen
doing his part to make political action
what 1t should be. This is the first
time in eight years that Mr. Cleveland
has visited Chicago and he received
an enthusiastic reception by the 200
banqueters when he appeared at the
speakers table.
His speech in part follows:
AS l understand my situation, 1 am
under bonds to keep the peace if pos
sible, by eschewing politics in the few
words 1 shall speak tonight; and 1 hope
l may fulfill the condition of my bond
and avoid disturbing those most sus-
picious of my conduct If I deal with
that old, old topic. American Good Cit
izenship.'
There is danger that my subject is

required of us in this direction when we

creed of good citizenship and abstain
from the commission of palpably un-

who make political activity their occu-

PITTSBURG, Pa, Oct. 14.-Since the
United States Steel corporation has de-

the Clarion Steel company, now owned
by the Crucible Steel company and
after contract had been made to do
so, the officers of the Crucible company
have announced that they will go ahead
with the original plans to make this
great property a powerful competitor
of the combine, and will themselves
raise the necessary funds to do so. The
fact that the company owns its ore

to build finishing mills to its already
enormous works at Clarion to have
