DIR. CATE SENT TO A sANITARIUA
In Demented Condition, Caused BY . Gle
Of Blood on His brain.

LAKEWOOD, N. j., Sept. H.-Dr II. H.
Cate, who was found by his brother-in-law
at the Morgan House, in Poughkeepsie. in
a demented condition and brought here
several weeks ago. was taken to sani-
tariun at Goshen. N. Y, this morning.
The doctor was examined by q physician
here, and lis thought to have clot OF blood
on his brain, said to have been caused by a
blow, and apparently accounts for his
loss of memory. The doctor remembers
receiving the blow, but cannot remember
where and when he received it.
He is somewhat improved physically,
but mentally his condition remains the
same. He fails to recognize any Of his
friends or surroundings and will probably
remain at the sanitarium until an opera
ton can be safely performed.

And They Stand for 1t.

Milwaukee, Jan. 15.-The charges
that there is enough anthracite coal
in local yards to relieve the famine,
temporarily at least has been sub
stantiated by an Investigating COM
mittee of the council. While thou
sands of people in the city have been
begging coal at any price, being turn
ed away daily from the coal offices,
and while untold suffering and illness
have been caused in the last few
weeks, all for lack of fuel, 10000
tons more than was needed to end
all this misery have been lying idle in
storage at the yards of the Lehigh
Valley Coal company. This, in brief
was the discovery made by the alder
men today. Whether the coal was
held for higher price is not known
as the agents decline to make a state
ment.

CHAPMAN is A BAD ONE
CHARGED WITH POISONING
THREE WOMEN IN LONDON.
Claims to Be an American-Has Com
-municated with ConsuI-No
Proof Of Claim.

London, Jan. ia story has been
published here purporting to detail
the life of George Chapman, the
Southwark saloon keeper, who is
charged with the murder of three
women by poisoning in different parts
of London, from his birth on a farm
in Michigan to the year 1895. The
testimony of numerous witnesses in
court today entirely disproved the
statements made. The papers also say
that documents in connection with
Chapman's claim to citizenship were
forwarded to the state department at
Washington today, but it was learned
that this is untrue. After Chapman's
first communication to Consul General
Evans, the latter. requested some
proof of his claims to American citi-
zenship. Chapman did not reply and
no further action was taken.
In the course of today's evidence
another woman testified to having re
ceived powders from Chapman, which
however, she burned.

TO LEASE GRAZING LAND.
Bill to Settle the Nebraska contro-
versy Is Introduced.

Washington, Jan. 15.-A bill to
authorize the leasing of grazing lands
in Nebraska, which is expected by
the administration to settle the trou-
BILE over the unlawful fencing of pub
lie lands in that state, has been agreed
on by Secretary Hitchcock of the in
terror department and Senator Diet
rich, acting for the Nebraska delega-
ton, and was introduced in the sem
ate later by Mr.. Dietrich. The bill, in
brief, provides that not more than 20
sections shall be leased to a single
person and the annual rental must be
paid in advance. One-fourth of the
bracka, one-fourth to the county in
which the leased land lies and one
half credited in the treasury of the
United States to the reclamation fund.
No lease shall be transferable and
actual and bona fide settlers are to
be given the preference. Leased
lands shall also be subject to entry,
settlement and acquisition by quail
fed persons at any time, but lessees
may fence the land during the term
of their lease. 1t is explained that
this is an experiment to determine
the ACCESSIBILITY of leasing public
lands of this character, and if it
proves successful the system may be
elaborated.

THOUSANDS OF TONS IN RAIL.
ROAD YARDS.
BAER'S PROMISE NOT KEPT
City and State Governments in Vari-
GUS Sections After Coal
Co~nspirators. .

New York, Jan. 15.-The statement
that thousands of tons of anthracite
coal were awaiting delivery to retail
dealers at the docks of the New Jer-
sey Central railroad at Elizabethport,
N. j., has been verified in detail by a
photograph of the yards, practically
blockaded by the loaded cars. There
were nealy 400 cars in the yards and
more than 100 additional on main
tracks leading into the yards, waiting
to be taken in by drill engines.
Averaging the 400 cars capacity at
10000 pounds each, would make the
total coal in ~Elizabethport at the hour
of count $4,000 tons.
AT other points there is also a on
gestion of coal laden cars which the
officers Of some of the coal carrying
roads say is mainly due to the confu-
sion caused by the separating of cars
containing Independent coal from
those bearing the company coal. Not
withstanding the promise made by
George F. Baer, president of the Phil
adelphia & Reading company, who, as
the spokesman of the coal operators,
told Mayor Low that all the coal
yards in the tenement districts would
be. supplied with coal for the poor,
there is great suffering in New York.
