STERN GIVEN HEARING
Baltimore Contractor, Accused of Pcs
tai Frauds, Pleads Not Guilty.
CONTRACT PLACED IN EVIDENCE

It Is Alleged Accused Received Money
For satchel Straps Which He Never
Furniohed, and For Which He Had
No Contract.
Washington, Oct. 21. - Leopold J..
Stern. the Baltimore contractor. ar
rested in Toronto under two warrants
charging false pretenses in the sup
ply to the government Of satchels for
rural free delivery carriers, was given
a preliminary hearing in the police
court. Stern pleaded not guilty. Much
of the time was consumed in argu-
ments by attorneys. Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Taggart reviewed the
charges against Stern, who he said,
submitted q bill and received money
for satchel straps which he never fur
nished.
THE bill on its face said Mr.. Tag
CART, was a lie There were 1857
satchels supplied, but they did not
have the straps as stipulated in the
contract"
The defense contended that if the
department ordered that the Lamb
straps" with which Stern was supplied
and which he used in place Of his own,
be used as they interpreted the gov
ernment's position, Stern was certainly
entitled to the money he received, as
such order constituted a modification
of the contract.
Postofice Inspector Mayer identi-
fed Stern's original contract with the
government, which was admitted in
evidence, despite the objection of the
defense.
The defense contended that the
United States did agree that Stern
furnish the satchels without the
straps, the government supplying him
with certain straps known as the
Lamb straps, which only one concern
could furnish.
Mr. Taggart called attention to the
omission in Sterns bill OF anything
to indicate that he had not supplied
the straps as stipulated. He explained
later to the inspectors. said Mr.. Tag
gart, that the government relieved him
Of the expense of the straps owing to
the higher prices of leather on ac-
count of the Spanish war.
The defense contended that there
was not a word about straps in the
contract introduced, There was some
thing about straps in the specifca-
tions, but those they did not have to
deal with.
In his testimony Inspector Mayer
said he had a conversation with the
defendant at his place of business in
Baltimore. in which the latter &C
knOwledged having but one contract
with the government for the furnishing
of satchels. and that his contract
called for a certain kind OF strap to
be placed on the satchels. On cross
examination, the defense brought out
the admission that Stern had claimed
that he had secured the permission of
two postal officials to furnish the
satchels without straps. The hearing
was continued.

New York, Oct. 21.-The Rev. DR..
Charles H. Parkhurst has sent the
following open letter to Mr. Dowie:
II do not want to be presuming, but
doubts if it is any more presumptive in
me to come and try to clarity you
than 1t is for you to come and try
20 clarity New York; and l do not
know which of MS has taken the heav-
ser contract I attended your service
at Madison Square Garden and l went
determined to enjoy it if l could, and
TO be benefited by it, and to go away
and refute some of the charges that
I had heard alleged against you. But
It was of no use; your behavior on the
platform crushed exery thrOb of SYM
patby l had with you. l never heard
from a public speaker such a dis
charge Of effervescent wrath and
coarse invective. went t. hear you
preach the gospel and you preached
Dowie, Zion, 'Stink-pot' I was asham-
ed of you, and almost ashamed to be
in your audience 1t was long way
UElOM LlG blduQdAu even VI AAN vi
cuses that l have attended in the
same garden. The only consolation I
could derive was that it was so abom-
Unable and so far beyond the bounds
Of the respectable that even those in
your congregation who did not know
what Christianity is would have no
idea that it had anything to do with
what you were saying.
"Of course, the Righteousness Of the
performance was only enhanced blythe
immensity of your pretensions. If you
claimed to be only an ordinary man
there might be some hope for you,
even with what you call the 'rabble,
but the rabble is discriminating and
can discriminate as keenly as the
keenest between a prophet and a jug
gler. between an Elijah and a mounte-
bank. l say this in no spirit of anger,
but either your head is twisted or
your heart infected, or you have blum
dered badly in your method. You can
not bully people into Zionism nor
blackguard them into the Kingdom Of
Heaven. l hope you will take this
IN the kindly spirit in which it is
offered and that it will be a blessing
to you"

CANADIANS DISSATISFIED
Decision Of Alaskan Boundary COM
mission Severe Blow.


mission Severe Blow.
Toronto, Ont, Oct. 1.-Dissatisfac-
tion with the alaskan boundary de-
cision is heard On every hand. Public
men do not express themselves for
publication, but nevertheless consider
the decision a severe blow to Canada.
A Canadian who has been most in
timately 0nd prominently associated
with the Alaska case said
at is the hardest blow the imperial
tie has ever received. The place Lord
Alverstone filled was clearly that of
agent for ;he British government 1t
will be a shock to the Canadian peo-
pie to know that Notwithstanding all
the professions of friendship and sym
pathy, the solemn fermalities of the
international court have simply been
used for the purpose of handing over
Canadian territory to the United
States. Canada has been not only
spontaneous but jealous in defense Of
British territory, and has not hesitated
to sacrifice blood and treasure in de-
fense Of the motherland She must
now face the fact that when imperial
interest or friendships require it her
territory may be handed over without
the slightest hesitation. This marks
a most serious epoch in the relations
between Canada and the mother
country"
