COURT FREES col. BUTLER.

Supreme Bench Decides Prominent St.
Louis Man Was Not Guilty.
The Supreme Court in Jefferson City,
Mo-, reversed the decision of the lower
court in the case of Col. Edward But
Ter of st. Louis, convicted at Column
bia, Mo-, in October, 1902, of attempted
bribery, and discharged the prisoner. The
specific charge against Col. Butler was
that he offered a bride Of $500 to DIR.
Henry M. Chapman, a member or the
st. Louis board of health, to induce
Chapman to use his influence in having
the board award the garbage contract
to the st. Louis Sanitary Company,
corporation in which Butler was inter
ested. The jury fixed his punishment
at three years in the State penitentiary.
Butler Immediately took IN appeal to
the Supreme Court and has been out on
bond since then. Final arguments on the
appeal were heard by the Supreme Court
Oct. 13, 1908. The opinion was written
by Judge Fox and was concurred III by
all other judges. The court holds that
the board of health had no authority to
let the garbage contract, but that TINS
power belonged to the board of public
improvements. The board Of health,
having no authority to award this con-
tract, the defendant could not bride
members to do something which they had
no authority to do

There is no clew yet to the unknown
assassin who the other night made
probably successful attempt to kill Miss
Elizabeth Gillespie in Rising Sun, Ind
At $3.50 o'clock Miss Gillespie was ar
ranging chairs about the sitting room of
her residence. AS she passed one Of
the windows the discharge of weapon
preceded the crashing of glass. Miss
Gillespie uttered a cry and fell to the
floor unconscious. The contents of a
double-barreled shotgun had entered her
left ear. The shot almost tore off the
top OF the young woman's head. The
unknown assassin then burst in the win
dow on the first floor of the woman's
home with the barrel of his shotgun, and
fired a load of buckshot directly into her
face Neighbors who heard the shots re-
sponded at once but were unable to dis
cover the assassin. The police of the
neighboring villages have been notified
and Coroner Louis Throne is investigat-
ing She never regained consciousness
after she was shot. No motive for the
murder has been found

Ten Passengers Victims, These Being
the First i'm Decade.
Ninety-four lives were lost i'll navigat-
Ing the great lakes during the season
just ended. Ten of the victims were pas
sengers, and these fatalities were the
first among them for ten years. The
number OF sailors lost is the smallest
since 1896, the record last year being lao
fatalities. By causes, the loss of life
was as follows: Overheard, al; fell into
hold, II; laundering, %; collision, 81;
killed by machinery, 10; fell from mast,
2; fire, /; shot by mistake, l. The most
notable accident was the laundering of
the steamer Erie l.. Hackley in Green
Bay Oct. 4. Twelve persons went down,
ten of them being passengers. When the
big wooden steamer w. II. Sauber sank
in Lake Superior Oct. 26 the greatest
money loss of the season would have
been accompanied by the death Of the
entire crew had it not been for the hero
ism of Capt. James Johnson of the
steamer Yale, who stood by all night dur
ing the storm and saved all but two per
sons.

Youth Confesses His Part In killing

Youth Confesses His Part In killing
Husband of Vermont Woman.
Levi Perham, a youth of 10, related
In the County Court at Bennington, VT,
how, for love of Mrs. Mary II. Rogers,
he aided the woman to murder her hus-
band, to the end that with the $500 in
surance obtained on his life she might
furnish a home for the man she loved.
Perham was witness called by the
State in the trial of Mrs Rogers, charg-
ed with the murder of her husband, Mar
Gus NJ. Rogers Perham admitted an in
fatuation for Mrs. Rogers. He said she
lured Rogers to a river bank for the
purpose of reconciliation, she having be-
come estranged from her husband. In
burst of well-feigned and playful af-
lection the woman proposed that they DO
tricks with rope which she brought
with her. The husband allowed himself
to be tied several times, each time get
ting loose. Mrs. Rogers suggested that
Perham try his hand and he bound Rog-
ers securely, he says. From her pocket
Mrs. Rogers then quickly drew hand
kerchief, which she saturated with chic
reform and placed over her husbands
face. Then, Perham testified, she wrote
a note with these words on it and pinned
1t to Rogers hat: Il am going to drown
myself and nobody else is to blame for
my DEATH" To this she signed her hus-
bands name. After Rogers had died
from the effects of the chloroform Per-
ham threw the body into the river and
hand in hand the two returned to their
homes

The increase Of expenditures for NUS
over those Of 1902 resulted in reduc-
ton Of the surplus revenue of $o6,oS9,-
70S21.
The trust funds held for the redemp-
ton of notes and certificates increased to
1898. O6S, $780, an increase for the year Of
$62, 459,7S
Transactions in public debt items, 9th
er than those related to the trust funds,
caused net decrease of $1S,625, 444 i'll
the public debt and reduced the annual
interest charge to the extent Of $2OO1,-
1920.
The foreign holdings of United States
bonds are principally confined to the reg
istered class, and are diminishing. In
1889 the amount was $24,339,0 2O. At
the end of 1908 it was reduced to $l6,-
S66,950.
During the year 1908, national bank
notes to the amount Of $l96, 429,621
were presented for redemption, an In
crease over the previous year Of $24,-
b60,363.
Gold continues to accumulate In the
treasury. The total holdings of gold on
July /, 1903, were 1851 ,420, 7S9.43, an
increase for the year of $71,22O, 4S9. On
Oct. 1, 1903, the total holdings of gold
in the treasury amounted to 1904, S11,-
ZIG.
The following are urged as recommen-
dations:
The mint at New Orleans is both in
convenient and expensive. 1t should be
reduced to an assay office.
The assay office at New York Is in
convenient in construction, inadequate in
size, unfortunately located, and should
be sold and a new one built. Fortunate
~, the present site can be sold for
enough to buy one more eligible, erect
suitable building thereon, and have re-
spectacle balance left.
The tax on national bank circulation,
based upon bonds hereafter issued,
should be fixed at one-half Of l per cent
per annum.
Customs brokers should be required to
register with the department, and pay
therefor a nominal fee, such registration
to be subject to cancellation for cause by
the Secretary Of the Treasury.
The installation of a comprehensive
pneumatic tube system between the
Treasury Department and its widely
scattered branches and bureaus, and the
several departments whose accounts are
audited in the Treasury Department,
would be a very profitable investment.
| earnestly recommend the construc-
ton Of several very fast revenue cutters,
small enough to be used for boarding
and swift enough to overtake and arrest
smuggling vessels now engaged in trans
ferring goods from tramp ships at an
Choir to private docks. Such vessels are
much needed in the Puget Sound district
and at points on the great lakes.
Appropriations for secret service work
should be literally increased.
