1t has developed that Mr. Baer went
to Atlantic City in a state OF physical
collapse. His address before the strike
commission was more or less of an i'm
passioned nature, and 1t wore greatly
on his nerves. Had he been in good
health when he began 80 great an ex-

of Prof. Kampf's Painting.

BERLIN, Nov. 1.-THE commission head

landscape by the impressionist, Walter
Leistikow. for exhibition in the national
gallery. The minister OF education. how
ever, has refused to submit the decision OF
the commission to the Emperor for final APP

Dispatches from Berlin Oct. 3 stated that
several wealthy citizens who resented the
imperial order taking the supreme control
OF the national gallery from the Berlin mu-
nicipality and placing Ii under the ministry
of education and the artists were In revolt
against imperial influence in the art plan
of the new gallery, which is endowed by
contributions and housed by the city.
These citizens held frequent consultations
with Professor Kampf, who is the principal
director Of the academy's exhibit. 1t 10
well known that Emperor William Is OPP
posed to the impreesionist school and to this
perhaps may be attributed the refusal OF
the minister of education to submit for his
approval the decision Of the kampf COM
mission.

the municipal art commission bought Herr
Kampfs painting Two Sisters" OF this

COL. SUTTON ARRAIGNED
HOW A MICHIGAN MAN is ALLEGED
TO HAVE BEEN ACQUITTED.
Military Board Scandal Reopened by
the Trial of Former State Senator
John HOlbrOOk.

LANSING, Mich, Nov. ia jury was
secured to-day for the trial of former State
mate John Holbrook. charged with
bribery in connection with the acquittal
of Col. Eli r. Sutton, formerly member
of the State Military Board and formerly
regent of the State University. who was
charged with implication in a $4,000 fraud
practiced on the State of Michigan in con-
nection with supplies for the State troops
during the Cuban war.
In his opening address for the people
former Prosecutor futile said 1t would be
shown that when a grand jury was called
to investigate the Military Board scandal
Sutton arranged with Holbrook to employ
a detective to watch the movements of the
presiding judges, also that Holbrook ar
ranged with Alderman William H. McKale,
who was a member Of the grand jury, to
keep him constantly informed as to what
was going on in the jury room. The prose-
cutor further charges that Holbrook ar
ranged with former Sheriff Porter, former
Deputy Sheriff Carl LOOMS and former
Chief of Police Sanford. who were i'm office
at the time of. Sutton's trial, to aid in
preventing conviction. 1t was alleged that
after the original panel of jurymen had
been exhausted and the sheriff had been
ordered by the court to summon talesmen,
Porter told Sutton he would subpoena any
six men Sutton would name. 1t is charged
that this list was prepared by Hol-
brook at Sutton's request and that five of
the persons named were summoned to serve
as jurors. One OF these. it is alleged. was
Arthur H. Phillips, to whom, it is charged,
Holbrook offered $500 If he would stay on
the jury and vote for acquittal.
Sutton has come from New York to tes-
tify In the Holbrook case. Until a few
weeks ago he was a fugitive in Mexico. but
returned and pleaded guilty to the charge
of which he had once been acquitted. His
punishment was a fine and Ii was said at
that time h0 had agreed to testify at the
trial OF Holbrook. who has been credited
with securing Sutton's acquittal.
