MRS. TINGLEY ON THE STAND
Denies FIatIy that She Said Life at
Iona Would Make Marriage
Relation Unnecessary.

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Jan. Mrs. Catherine
A. Tingley was placed upon the stand as
her own witness in rebutting the testimony
Of the defendant in the trial of her action
for libel against the Los Angeles Times.
All OF the principal charges made against
her in the Point Iona institution of which
she is the official head were read to her
and she denied them ad seriatim. She was
a cool, deliberate witness and in answering
the many details that were evolved from
the questions took most of the afternoon.
She had a ready explanation for such OF
the charges and inferences as she did not
repudiate.
She stated with much emphasis that she
had not withheld food from children, as
was related in the deposition OF DR.. An
derson Of San Francisco, but on the other
hand, II was one of her theories of the
child rearing that the infants should be fed
every half hour. She fatty denied what
Loufs Fitch OF Hartford, Conn. had testi.
fed TO in alleging that she had stated that
life upon Point Iona would evolve state
which would make the marriage relation
unnecessary.
An incident Of the day was the refusal
of the trial judge to permit the jury tc
go to Point Iona to view the institution
although II was strongly urged by Mrs
Tingley's counsel

RIVAL FOR BOARD OF TRADE
western Union Telegraph Company Ia
to Furnish Quotations of the
Open Board.

CHICAGO, Jan. Arrangements which
have been completed between the Chicago
open Board of Trade and the Western Union
Telegraph company bid fair to make the
former institution formidable rival Of the
larger one across the street.
On next Monday morning the quotations
of the open board will be put on the West
ern Union wires an hour in advance OF the
figures furnished by the Chicago Board Of
Trade
1t is understood that the open board and
the telegraph company have entered into a
contract covering a period of ter, years, the
telegraph company paying a remuneration
on a graduated scale, a nominal rate for
the irst few years, to be increased each
twelve months.
1t is also announced that negotiations
have been consummated whereby the old
open board building on LaSalle street will
be remodeled by the Illinois Trust and Saw
ings bank, which controls the property, for
the benefit Of the open board.
/ With cOmmodious quarters and the CO.
operation Of the Western Union, the offl-
cials OF the open board see no reason why
they cannot cut noticeable figure In the
commercial transactions of,IIasalle street.

bining Arizona and New Mexico
Into One Organization.

DENVER. Jaa. "A special to the Re-
publican from Santa Fe, n, M, says: In
an interview today w. S. Hopewell, chair
man Of the territorial central committee
of the democratic party in New Mexico
announces himself in favor OF admitting
Arizona and New Mexico as one state
with three representatives in congress, the
capital to be fixed for ten years at
Santa Fe.
He had just returned from Chicago,
where he had an interview with Senator W.
II. Andrews, a close friend OF Senator NJ
S. Quay. and his announcement today in
favor OF joint statehood is supposed to
represent the views OF Senator Quay in case
IL should not be practicable to force the
omnibus statehood bill through the senate.
President Roosevelt also declared TO
New Mexico workers for statehood who
have lately spoken to him that he is in
favor OF joint statehood for Arizona and
New Mexico. Mr.. Hopewell says a bill ef-

MINORITY WANTS A CANDIDATE
That f. Reason Cook County DemOc-
racy Elects Mitchell n Member,
says Wilson.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 2.-National Sec
retary Wilson of the United Mine Workers
tonight discussed the action OF the Chi
cago Cook County Democracy in electing
President John Mitchell to membership He
SAID:
Il know there has been a lot OF talk In
Illinois lately regarding Mitchells politics
There has been talk there OF bringing him
out for governor. Rut the amusing part OF
the situation is that while they have been
talking in Illinois OF making him the dem
ocratic nominee for governor, in some east
ern places there has been talk Of him as a
running mate for President Roosevelt in
1904.
THE truth Of the situation, so far as
Mitchell is concerned, is that he is not
taking any part in politics and he has no
intention Of entering politics. He is
not a partisan in any sense Of the word
neither am / for that matter. We both try
to keep as nearly neutral as possible in
politics. | do not know Mitchell's private
political views, but he has voted for dem
ocrats and republicans. He generally votes
as he thinks he should, regardless of the
politics of the candidates.
I'VE understand the talk Of running any
OF us for office. The offer generally comes
from the minority party, which considers
us as available candidates. / was urged
by the democrats OF my district in Pennsyl-
vana this year TO run for congress, but
thought the offer came because the demo
Gratis we're in the minority and they con-
sidered me available. IL the republicans
had been in the minority y might have re.
ceived, the offer Of the nomination Just the

WILD ENGINE KILLS FOUR MEN
Crashes Into Rutland Flyer, FIIIed
with Passengers, but only the
Crews Meet Death.

BURLINGTON, Vt, Jan. "A wild en-
gine running from Burlington to Rutland
on the Rutland railroad crashed into the
northbound flyer from New York tonight at
Shelbourne. The crews of both engines
we're killed and brakeman who was riding
on the wild engine was probably fatally
hurt, and nearly every one Of the flyer $
crew were injured more or less seriously.
No passengers we're hurt, although many
received bruises The dead are:
DENNIS MAHoNEY Of Rutland, engineer
Of the flyer.
II. CONVEY of Rutland. engineer of the
wild engine.
JAMES FITZPATRICK of Ticonderoga,
fireman.
ID. N CHASE OF Rutland, fireman.
The cause of the accident is not def
nitely known but Dr. Stewart Webb, pres
ident of the road, says that he believes
that Engineer Convey, who had charge of
the wild engine, had figured that the flyer
would be late, as IL usually was, and that
he could run to Shelbourne for a siding
before the uptrain reached that place. To-
night the flyer was on schedule time.
The impact of the collision was terrible
and only the heaviness Of the flyer pre-
vented a greater disaster. As It was, both
engines were totally demolished, the boiler
of one exploding with a terrific report.

Nuts Buran. the appointed governor

ANOTHER GUN PLAY
Mrs. Jack Smith Tangled
With Police Again.
SHE TERRORIZED POPLAR STREET
Wanted to Take the Gore Of the Lady
Proprietor of a Private
Boarding House.
SHE TERRORIzED POPLAR STREET

Waving a formidable looking gun
and threatening to do all sorts OF
nasty things with it, Mrs. Jack
Smith. alias Anderson, terrorized the
neighborhood at Third and Poplar
last night. The particular object of
the irate woman's wrath was the lady
proprietor of a Poplar street board
hind locked doors when the police ar
rived.
Mrs Smith retreated to the home
of her mother, a short distance away,
where she was Overhauled by Officer
Casey a few minutes afterward. She
had effectively secreted the gun and
any amount of searching on the part
of the officer failed to locate its
whereabouts. The woman has marked
propensities for making gun plays,
however, and she was taken to the
police station and given the alterna-
tive of leaving town or standing trial
for her little episode She chose the
former and left the city last night.
The trouble last night is said to
have originated over the lady prOprie-
tors accompanying Mr.. Smith TO sew
eral entertainments Of late. Why Mrs.
Smith should be jealous of her hus-
band, she being the plaintiff in racy
divorce suit against him, is beyond
the comprehension of the police, and
others who are acquainted with the
marital troubles of the two.

WaIla WalIans Had Exciting
Experience on flat.
A RUNAWAY AND SMASHED UP RIG
Missed Train and Landed In Town
This Afternoon With Much
Experience.

If all nimrods who take long trips
out to Eureka fiat in quest Of the fes-
tive prairie chicken have such ex-
periences as J. C. Scott, Tom Drum
heller and Bob" Allen mad yesterday
there would be fewer chicken hunters
in Walla Walla. Expensive guns
would be relegated to the garnet or
some other equally obscure place and
priced pointers would be turned loose
@ range with the common herd.
A runaway team, a smashed rig and
bruised bodies, missed trains and
.ong tramps are few of the features
# a chicken hunt the aforesaid prom
inent Walla W7allans are said to have
enjoyed on the fat yesterday. The
trio returned to Walla Walla at noon
today on the belated w. & c. r. r.
with more experience about chicken
hunting crammed into their heads
han could be printed in hundred
page volume, if stories told by pas
sengers on yesterdays train from the
fiat can be believed. The fact that
their return home was delayed until
noon today bears out the statement
that something happened, though to
secure an admission from any of the
trio that anything out of the ordinary
occurred is impossible.
According to the story, the wheat
man, the hardware merchant and the
man who makes out the gas bills, left
Walla Walla Saturday night over the
w. & c.. R. R. for regular old
fashioned chicken hunt On the fiat.
At Eureka a team was secured from
neighborly farmer and the trio in
he cool gray dawn of the morning
headed for favorite hunting spots
where chickens are reported so plen-
tiful that they have hard work finding
roosting places. Four miles out some
thing went wrong with the harness.
at least that is the story-and the
hunters fould themselves the heroes
of a thrill:ls runaway. Away dashed
the team over the rough road and
the strength Ct three pairs Of arms
was insufficient to control the mad
lened brutes. The first chapter end
ed with the rig, horses, men and
equipment strewn over a township OF
country and the end of a promised
chicken hunt in sight.
The horses were gone the wagon
was smashed, bodies were bruised
and out of sheer necessity long
tramp back to the station was made.
The remains were carried along, and
rather than miss hunt altogether a
short trip into the hills afoOt was
planned and carried out. The train
came along and pulled out and the
hunters were still in the hills, thus
ending the second chapter.
The beginning of the third chapter
| saw the trio return from the hunting
| grounds laden with-their guns and
| gloomy brows; covered with dust and
| cookie burs and even the dead tired
| logs casting reproachful glances at
| their luckless masters. The story at
| this point becomes rather hazy but
| The end came out bold and clear. Six
dollars was handed over to farmer
| boy for 20 plump chickens and the
| trio boarded the train for home.
