Clerks Called On 10 Explain Why tho
Death Certificate Of Sarah weber.
the Prisoners Mistress, Was Changed


Another arrest was made yesterday in
connection with the Italian insurance
frauds and according to Assistant District
Attorney Krotel q clerk OF the Board OF
Health is implicated Mr.. Krotel has sent
report to Health Commissioner Jederle and
1t IL understood that a clerk in the Bureau
OF Vital Statistics has been called upon
to explain why the wording of a death
certificate was changed.
The new prisoner Is Guccino Ciccone, q
son OF one Of the men already under indict-
ment. Mr. Krotel says that in June Of last
year Ciccone was living with Sarah Weber,
whose name has been mentioned in the case,
that she was taken i'll and that Ciccone
caused her removal to the Harlem Hos
pital, where she was entered as Sarah
Wilson, % years old
Later she was removed to the Metro
politan Hospital. where che died on June 81.
Her body was removed to the Morgue and
the cause Of death was given by the hospital
physicians as chronic consumption. Cic-
cones parents, who were then living at
2O5s First avenue, were notified and an
undertaken took the body from the Morgue
Mr.. Krotel says that the name on the death
certificate was changed after tho body
left the Morgue from Sarah Weber to Sera-
phina Ciccone and that the death was regis
tered at the Board Of Health under that

sumption. Assistant District Attorney

ing to classifying proofs Of death. He pleaded

has Just returned from an examination oi
certain Mexican mines.
THE End OF the Trail his first novel
and THE Blue Goose his latest book
both deal with the mining life conditions
which he knows so thoroughly.
Stewart Edward White spends his sum-
mers exploring the great north woods
and several seasons ago started upon an
expedition which was distinctly hazardous.
With one comrade and two Indian guides
he set out from Lake Superior to follow
the straight trail to Hudson Bay. There
is no definite trail through this country
cave to some Of the Indians.
On this trip Hr. White and his party
actually discovered one river previously
unmapped and followed 1t for 100 miles
Upon their return they reported the find
to the Canadian Government and the river
Is now down upon the maps.
The party pushed on toward the north.
In spite Of hardship. and, at various times
were face to face with starvation; but they
finally reached the bay and visited several
trading posts. There Mr.. White found
conditions which fascinated him-condi-
tons absolutely feudal.
The Hudson Bay factor was autocrat,
had absolute power Of life and death. Any
trader found trespassing upon the COM
pany's land was brought to the post and
warned. If he repeated his offence and
was a mere coureur des bois the Indians
were ordered TO kill him. II he CHANGED
to be person more important he received
second warning, but the third time he
sinned against the law Of the company he
was sent -on the long traverse--that is.
he was stripped Of his weapons and turned
out into the forest, where he was bound to
die Of starvation.
Mr.. White has made this enforcing OF
the unwritten law the theme OF his rev
novel. -Conjuror's House." and Canadian
papers are busy denying his facts.

the Fifty-first Street Raid.

The two young women who were arrested
on Monday night by Capt. Dillon OF the
West Forty-seventh street station, in a
raid on an alleged disorderly house in West
Fifty-frst street, and who gave their names
at the station house as Daisy Curry and
Jane Smith, were arraigned yesterday in
the West Side police court and discharged.
Nothing came out in court to show who
the women were.
Capt. Dillon told Magistrate Mayo that
he had no complaint to make against the
prisoners. They were not the women
against whom his men had previously OBJ =
tanned evidence, he said. and he had seen
no violation Of the law when the raid
made.
Charles Dorsey, the negro who was
arrested charged with running a disorderly
house, was held in $500 bail for examination.
As soon as the two women were dis
charged they hurried out Of court and
were met by two young men. The young
men said that they were G. c. Springer and

WOMEN'S LOCAL COUNCIL.


The March meeting of the Local Council
Of Women was held yesterday afternoon at
the Propylaeum. The address made by Mr..
Augustus L. Mason consumed the greater
part of the afternoon. and little business of
Importance was done.
Mr.. Mason took as his subject TRUSTS
and Public Welfare a question in which
the women of the council are greatly in
terested- Mr.. Mason spoke of the extent
of the trusts and the constant tendency of
business to organize itself into monopolies.
He said that the present problem was not
the combination of individuals for the pur-
pose of monopoly, but that it was chiefly
the formation of corporations which are to
monopolize business. In regard to the
growth of trusts, Mr. Mason said that the
fault had not arisen from any lack of
courage or deviation from principle on the
part of the courts, and that the legisla-
lures were at fault
After the address, for which the speaker
received the thanks of the council, the dis
cussion of the paper was led by Miss Mary
Dean. The business of the day was then
considered, and the resolution offered some
time ago by Mrs. Mary Moody was adopted.
In substance it is: THAT women should
inform themselves more thoroughly on pol
itics, and enable themselves to discuss such
subjects intellgently.''
Literature concerning the National Coun-
ell of Women, which will be held this
month I'm New Orleans, was presented, and
a suitable delegate discussed. The council
adjourned until it's April meeting.

men ARE NOW in JAIL
j. II. WATTS HAS BRUSH WITH
JUDGE A. b. ANDERSON.
The Court Refuses to Modify the Sem
tence of Charles ID. kelso-Three
Others to Appear.

The men adjudged in contempt of court
States Court surrendered to the custody of
the United States marshal yesterday and
were taken to the Marion county Jail by
Deputy Boyd. The men who were sent to
Jail are Charles D. Kelso Michael Zier.
Raymond j. Morris. Claude Sittason, Fred
Ruoff and Thomas Smithwick. and they
have terms of imprisonment varying from
ten to sixty days. The prisoners were
lodged the third floor OF the jail build
ing, and, although an attempt was made
by the sheriff of Marion county to make
their prison as comfortable as possible.
they will suffer many inconvenience until
their time expires or they are released by
Judge Anderson.
]. r. Watts, brother of w. w. Watts.
the New Albany attorney who is cited for
contempt, appealed to Judge Anderson yes
terday to continue his brothers. hearing
indefinitely, as his wife is seriously Ill and
If he were forced to appear in court the
shock might be harmful TO her. During his
application Mr.. Watts replied to an asser-
ton of Judge Anderson that Watts had
lied to him about the receivership by say
ing that he did not care to discuss the mat
ter, as ne dld not DelleVe his DrOtner nau
lied. Judge Anderson asked him if he
meant to insinuate that the court was lying
and advised him to not commit himself or
he also might be found in contempt and
imprisoned. Watts's friends led him to
the rear Of the courtroom before he could
reply, and he was kept from saying any
thing to offend the dignity of the court.
Judge Anderson denied the continuance,
and took the opportunity to go over the
action of Watts since he was cited for
contempt, particularly his evasion of Dep
uty Marshal Rankin, who had subpoena
for him, and the remarks he has made
since ordered to come into court.
An attorney for Charles D. Kelso,. the
New Albany man who was appointed re-
ceiver of the Zier property by Circuit Judge
Utz, and who was found guilty of con-
tempt for taking up his duties in that Of
flee, made an appeal for a mitigation of
the sentence of his client. Judge Anderson
refused to modify Keso's punishment, and
stated that although he hardly believed
Kelso to be guilty of as grave an offense
as others he could not consistently tighten
his punishment because of his open con-
tempt of the authority of the United States
courts.
The other three attorneys cited for con-
tempt, w. w. Watts, Prosecuting Attor-
ney George B. Mcintyre, Of Floyd county,
and ID. A. Sachs, of Louisville, will be ar
raigned March and tried on the informa-
ton filed against them.

THEY STILL HAVE HOPE.
Canvassers Are Hot the Trail of
Institute subscriptions.

The technical institute fund is still 49,. 900
short of the s154,OO0 subscribed. There has
been paid in now about $4,000, and the pro-
motors of the project are bending every ef-
fort to secure the payment of the addi-
tional funds and to procure subscriptions.
Albert Sahm and G. w. Brown. who made
the canvass for the original subscription
list are at work seeking new subscriptions
to protect the project against loss by the
failure of those who subscribed to pay their
subscriptions.
The arsenal grounds are to be sold March
Is, and it is absolutely necessary for the
financial trustees to have the funds at
hand then to be able to bid. The projectors
of the institute are making clear the fact
that If the arsenal site is not sold at its
appraised value ii will not be sold at all,
and this will mean that the technical in
stitute will fail and the. army post will be
abandoned.
Mr.. Brown and Mr.. Sahm have made
progress in gaining new subscriptions, and
they will spend their time for the next ten
days on this work alone.
