GRAFT IN MEMPHIS.
Expert Says City Has Spent $6OO,O00

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov. 16.-Walker
Wexford. who, together with the Ma
tional Audit company Of ST Louis,
has been engaged several months in the
examination of books of the city OF
Memphis, issued two reports today.
In his individual report he scores all
the departments of the city govern
ment for their Irregularities with the
exception Of the board of health and
the inspector Of plumbing, and makes
the assertion that Mayor Williams has
been derelict in the performance OF his
duties in that he has failed to en-
force the laws, particularly those
against allowing saloons and gambling
rooms to ge open on Sunday, and buy
ing city supplies without written con-
tracts
The most sensational feature OF the
report is the charge that the engineer

CHICAGO STRIKERS
MUCH ELATfD
Governor Yates Writes a Letter-lnti'
mates That He Won't Call
Out Militia.

CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-CarS in the
strike district started early this morn
ing, four policemen on each car, in
stead of II as yesterday. There was
no disturbance. The strikers are
greatly elated over a letter from Gov
ernor Yates in which he intimates that
he won't call out the military and
will attempt to force arbitration.
AS the day advanced the crowd
learning of the decreased guard on the
cars grew bolder and numerous at
tempts We're made to blockade cars
by union teamsters. There were sew
eral conflicts and in a number of in
stances missiles were thrown and giant
torpedoes exploded beneath the cars
The strike leaders and railway Off
Cials held separate conferences this
morning, but no action looking toward
arbitration was taken by either side.
The electrical workers will decide
tonight whether or not to strike.
+ riot was narrowly averted shortly
after noon in the heart of the levee
district. A teamster attempting a
blockade was roughly handled by pO-
lice and mobS tried to release the
prisoners, the. officers using clubs sc
freely that the crowd was dispersed.

YOUTH SENT TO PEN.
Harry Jones Gets Six Years for As.
sisting in Hold Up.

Harry Jones. who claims to be con-
nected with a prominent family in
Vancouver, y. c., was yesterday SEN
fenced to a term of six years in the
penitentiary, says the Seattle Post
Intelligencer. He pleaded guilty in
Judge Bells court to helping George
Van Horst hold up Thomas S. Lippy a
short time ago. and threw himself up
on the mercy of the court.
Jones has barely reached his ma
iority, and is a good looking boy. The
sentence staggered him a little, but he
kept up a bold front while facing the
Judge. and turned away without
word, after learning his fate. The at
torneys for the state pleaded Tor
light sentence because Jones had ad-
mitted his crime.
Detective Lane also said good word
for the young prisoner, saying that
the police had looked up his record,
and found that he was usually STEADY
going, hard working young man, and
had not been in trouble before. Jones
says Van Horst exercised a strange
influence over him, and cannot explain
why he entered upon a career OF crime.
Van Horst is now serving a term OF
q years for the same offense.

To Protect Birds.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 16.-As
a result of action to be taken at the
convention of the American Ornitho-
logists' Union, which began in this
city today, a strenuous crusade Is tC
be undertaken to protect the birds OF
North America. Working in con-
junction with the various Audubon
societies throughout the country the
union purposes to make organized eff
forts to have stricter game laws passed
in the various states and to see that
these laws are rigdly enforced. The
cooperation of women's clubs is
sought and it is also proposed to in
tereSt school teachers throughout the
country in the movement. The uniOr
cites the figures to show that hundreds
of thousands of birds are killed annu-
ally for their plumage alone and thai
this Wanton destruction, unless meas
ures are taken to check it, must ne
cessarily result in the determination

Confer With Leaders of ne
Insurgents.
TO GREAT BRITAIN

LONDON, Nov. 16.-Colombia has
cabled to the British government a
lengthy protest against the action of
the United States toward Panama, in
which she asserts that the main re-
sponsibility for the secession lies with
America, first in fomenting the sepa-
ratist spirit, secondly by the hasty ac-
acknowledgement of Panamas independ-
ence and finally by the prevention of
Colombia's attempts to suppress the
rebellion.
The cable says that Colombia has
protested to America and wants the
fact known throughout the world.
Colon advices say that Colombia s
commission sent to persuade Panama
to relinquish her independence on ar
riving at Panama this afternoon under
the protection of United States ma
rines were taken off the Scotia in boats
sent by the American cruiser Dixie

KILLED HERSELF IN A FIT.

Because She Thought Men Were
Laughing At Her.

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-In a fit OF
takes in transcribing a letter on her
typewriter, Miss Charlotte Nj. Thomas
of S69 East One Hundred and Eight
ieth street "a pretty young stenograph-
er employed in the office of the Mono
pole Tobacco company, committed
suicide by taking carbolic acid in the
hallway just outside the office.
She reported at the office yesterday
morning as usual at about o'clock
At about II o'clock the manager
of the office asked for stenographer
to take a letter.
Miss Thomas took the dictation,
but she had much trouble in trans
crlbing it. and several times she was
compelled to ask for information Mr.
Kelly and a friend, who were sitting
in the same room with Miss Thomas
but some distance from her, were
laughing over a conversation which
they had had.
Miss Thomas evidently thought
lhey were laughing at her and she
PIT on her coat and left the room, os-
tenslbly to get her luncheon. Five
minutes later she opened the door and
walked back into the office She was
pale and unsteady, but at the time
nobody noticed that particularly. She
laid her gloves on a chair and walked
across the room to a front window.
Ihen She sank to the floor dead with
out uttering a word. Shs had swal-
lowed carbolic acid.

CORNWELL INTERVIEWED.
Farmers Are Well OFF in the Whs>k
Belt of Eastern Washington.

State Senator Oliver r. Cornwell, Of
terday to attend the funeral of Senator
Ed S. Hamilton, says the Tacoma
Ledger. Mr.. COrnwell comes from a
wheat country and is himself largely
interested in the crops and the mar
ket. He estimates that about so per
cent of the total crops harvested in
his section of the country is being held
by the farmers in anticipation of an
era of better prices. The recent de-
cline in the price of wheat he attrib-
succeeded in obtaining sufficient
quantity to meet the present demand.
and he does not look with apprehen-
sion on the slight fiuctuation recorded
during the past week. He said:
Il have noticed that milling de-
mand crowds the market above export
prices, and just as soon as the demand
is supplied it recedes, and, as a gen.
eral rule. export prices recede with 1t.
Another noticeable feature of the
WHEAT llldEhSl lS lIldl NlltI tlle
hold on to their grain later than Octo-
Der they invariably hold fast until the
beginning of the year, always hoping.
of course, for better prices.
Il need not say also, in this connec-
ton. that the ability Of the farmer to
retain possession of his grain speaks
we'll for the prosperity OF the country.
Time was when the farmer had to let
go of his holdings on the first sugges-
ton of a better than average price
and was glad Of the opportunity to
raise money at any profit Nowadays,
however, our farmers can afford to
bide their time. They are financially
fixed that way. and there IL no neces-
sty for their unloading their holdings
every time the market takes a squirt
or essays to tObOggan.'
