Or Cross Examination.

On cross examination by the prosecu- tion, Jolley denied that Lottie Wilson had "threatened to publish him in the Gold Digger;" he had never met Lottie until she sent for him. ''I really did not believe the charges she made against James," he said "but l had to suspend him while made an investi- gation."
 McGnn wanted to know if it would not have been the proper thing to in- vestigate first and suspend afterward No sir" said the witness. Witness told in detail his different meetings with James after suspension: he told him that he was still drinking and was not helping either himself or witness. He investigated the charges and found where James had bought two tons of coal, and he didn't see any object in James stealing it. Once James said to him 'this thing about Lottie going to Warren and publishing me is all rot, and whoever says she is, is lying -" Witness said "all right Jimmy" and walked away. Witness said it was hard 10 tell when he first saw James, Derringer. "I never had such q pistol in my ife," said the witness. He then detailed his final meeting with James as given above: he saw Dave Gilchrist and Homer Benson in front of the Eldorado, and others. but didn't notice who they were.
 McGinn asked, "did you see Spald. ing?" Ia witness) and Jolley replied, John mans mind in a time like that is, not in condition to remember much" Witness told of seeing McIn- tosh, and said Mcintosh did not touch him on the shoulder When witness started toward Mcintosh, James start- ed to get behind him and whipped out gun.
 'How many feet were you from the sidewalk" McGinn asked. 'I couldn't tell exactly the number of feet. John, in case like that" was the reply. The wind was blowing hard. James moved

knocking and said. "l came upto see if you are going to put mo back?' Jol- ley told him if he would sober up he might, and James replied: 'If you don't, you C. d - -- --, l'll kill you" Witness told him that woman was sick next door, and to keep quiet and James answered, "Oh - that's kurtz, I know him." Witness again saw James on the evening of Jan. s near the Hub saloon. and James handed him a key and his police star, which witness gave to Officer Finne1 an, who was present.
 Witness met James next day about 2:30 in front of the Eldorado saloon. He said "how do James, and he an swcred: "You --, If ever, I hear you mention my name again. I'll kill YOU liSe a dog" Witness asked him what he had done to hin', and then started on westward. James stepping to his side saying, 'Ill kill you; Pm gC- | ing to kill you" Jolley changed sides | uIltt JulutS NtIit liIhtd' Ou n | blow the belly out of you now" and he made movement with his gun in his pocket which Jolley said he could feel | Witness thought James would go into the Hunter, but when that place was ] reached he did not, but said, "I m go- | ing to kill you, anyway: get out there and fight Jolley asked him what was ! the matter with him, anyway? He dare not say anything more: he knew James would kill him if he did; then he saw Mcintosh. who wanted to soc him about d lost dog; he was glad to see | him: witness sheared of from James, but kept his eye upon him. He went toward Mcintosh, and had no intention of returning to James.
 As witness spoke to Mcintosh, James started to get behind witness: James took about two steps. and Jolley said, James, you cant come that on me- James had his Derringer out: witness pulled his gun and fired; ''after the 1 first shot James kept coming towards me-" said the witness, and he fired again. "Really l didn't know how many shots l fred" he said, but after wards l &scertained | fired three. y James was fully l5 feet away when the shots were fired, but witness didn't know at the time. After he stopped firing he saw the Derringer lying on the ground about foot and half from James right hand and probably three or four feet from his head. Men came running up, and he pointed to the gun and to Mcintosh. who. he said, knew all about it. Some one said, get a doctor,' and he started for Dr. Hill Is: then he went to Judge Reeds office and then to the federal jail, where he gave himself up.
 Witness denied positively that he ever divided up any money with James or anyone else. "G had none to divide, v he said.
 He had never taken any man to James cabin. as told by Lottie Wilson. nor had he talked at any time with James in Lottie Wilson ; presence. ,.e had only been at the door of James cabin out twice, once last fall, and again when he told him he had been laid off. He did not enter the cabin either time, and never saw Lottie Wilson there.
 Sullivan the time you fired these shots you believed your life was in danger?'
 Witness" Yes"
 "Did you fire these shots at James with any other design or motive than that Of protecting your own life?'
 "No sir, did not, and was sorry enough for that.'

 Next came w. Seiiner who told oi seeing James in the EldOrado about D. m. on Jan. 9; he said James conduct was bad. his manner threatening. James asked him for a loan of $lo. Wit ness refused.

Smith testified that he :aw James on the morning of Jan. 9 about , o'clock at the Discovery saloon where he played solo from 10 o'clock up to that time. James, he said, was sober and in good hu- mor. NJ. Gordon testified along the same line, as did also Martin Klutsch. Chas Sanford stated that James, repu- tation was good: he also said James showed gun, and the attempt of the prosecution to show that it had rust on it, failed. The witness could nut remem- Der whether among others, A. E. Ron zone, a witness, was also present at the time and place. Mir. Orton was asked to testify to the general reputation of James. but he slii he never had heard it discussed. and diAn'L know how 1t was.

The Case of Hrs. K0rtz. |.

McGinn stated that the prosecution had only one more witness, who could not be procured then.
 "Who is it?" asked the court.
 "It is Mrs. kurtz," McGinn said.
 "I saw a certificate there from Dr. Hill." remarked the court. 'What dc you want done?"
 McGinn-"I was told yesterday that she was able to be here"
 Fink objected to such statement be- ing made in presence of the jury, and he was sustained.
 The court-"We will lend you all our assistance to bring the witness here; or the defense either," he added.
 McGinn said he didn't feel like ask. ing for bench warrant, and the court again indicated his willingness to issue it.
 Fink said they had no objection to getting Mrs. kurtz if she was in con- dition to appear; they would have had her there themselves had It been possi- ble. Court then adjourned.

The Arguments.

Attorney Murane Opeueu TOT tue prosecution, reviewing the evidence in an exhaustive manner, laying partlcu- lar stress upon that of Lottie Wilson.
 and discredlting that of the defense.
 Mr. Murane spoke for an hour and q half, making an able address. and was followed by r. c. Sullivan. He also went ut he evidence and analysed it thoroughly, showing the nature and character of the prOsecu- tion's evidence and witnesses. He said that the prosecution had forgotten the evidence and were dealing in innuendo and insinuation, If you believed in- uendo and insinuations, gentlemen of the jury, every one of us would have to leave Nome." He also pointed out that James had made no threats against Jolley until after Jan. 4, when he was laid off. ''Tbey say" said Sullivan, "that it is strange that Jolley would have taken such threats so long from James, but Jolley is man 5S years old with a daughter to take care of, and it is but natural that he did not want to get into trouble. Sullivan spoke until after 5 o'clock, claiming that the prosecution had not produced any proof to establish their case. Mir. Sullivan spoke of the
 jury system, saying that it was origi- hated to protect men from the tyranny loe t.s Df In
 dies were present during the afternoon.

WOMEN ARCHITECTS.

It is a great temptation to a young woman architect to undercharge for her work. If she wishes her work to be judged by the same standard as that of men. she must follow the prin- cipies and schedule of prices laid down by the American Institute of Archi- tects. Even in her first house, young architect with the training, techincal and practical, which she has had, should feel perfect confidence in her own ability and should not undervalue it. This confidence in her own power will also inspire the confidence of her client.
 It is only recently that the men in the profession began to regard women architects other than a huge joke. Lately, however, since woman's work is coming more and more into prom thence. they are beginning to accept them as fellow workers.
 It will not be long before schools and colleges throughout the country will offer to women the same advan- tages for the study of architecture as are now given to men. A short time ago one Of the faculty of Columbia university spoke to me of the pleasure which he should feel when women are admitted 10 the architectural course there Josepnine Wright Chapman in GylnNnxS

After election stories are always very plentiful. Yesterday the Demo crat editor was given a story which if true1s certainly not to the credit of the men back of it. The story is to this effect: A well known workman who had been in the same factory for eighteeen years announced the week before election that he was going to vote for J. NJ. Lynch. Three days after election, that is, last week Thurs day, he was told to get ready to take his departure from the factory. as there would be no more work for him
 after Saturday. There was nothing left for the man but to take up his kit and get out. The above is one side of the story. The bosses concerned and few others, however, tell different one. It is hard to believe in this en- frightened age of free thought and free speech that any man would be de- prived of making a living for exercis- ing his rights. The Democrat would call the attention of the bosses and others to the action of one Of the Mir Eltons, who. when a man was candid enough to say whom he would and would not vote for, gave him an in- crease in pay instead of a discharge.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 1s, 1903.

Banks are here to stay, says staff writer on New York paper. As. we'll propose that railroads shall be abol- 1shed, because they are badly managed and often kill passengers, as propose to get rid of banks. Their rise marked a great advance in the management of human business. They created capital out of credit and thus made possible many transactions which were impos- sible on basis of cash payments They furnished those who undertook big industrial operations with the means of organizing labor effectively They have been an indispensable part of the equipment of mankind for that great conquest of nature which has gone forward for more than two cen. turies. If we could annihilate the two forms of money our banks create, the country would lose more of it's means or payment than it would by the loss of all its gold and silver, and the con- traction would result in widespread misery among all classes.

1t was as salesman of cloth that Peacock, now lord Of twenty millions,
 had his first meeting with Carnegie, says writer in Everybody's Nigga zine. The Carnegie butler sought to exclude the volatile scout, who came bearing a triple arnful of Scotch plaids. But Peacock would have none of his exclusions. He retorted upon the Carnegie butler with a torrent of invective in which contempt for that household officer was only eQualled by a contempt for Lindley Murray. The butler was swept away; Peacock strode into the presence of Carnegie and spread before him every clan color to gleam in tartan between the Orkneys and the Firth of Forth This master full zeal, courage, rude address and ruder grammar snote pleasantly upon the fancy of Carnegie, not at all drilled to fneness. He not only took the plaids, but Peacock; the latter zealous gentle man was put to tasks for the steel companies; in the end heewas handed a bundle of stocks which nourished of tariffs and under the husbandfy of the trust system, has since borne as har- vest those twenty millions chronicled.

The protective duties of the Dlngley tariff, purposely placed so high fnaS the concession made to foreign coun- tries under the treaties negotiated would still leave ample protection for the trusts. But the trusts demanded all the swag that the tariff bill gave them, and their influence with the re- publican congress was sufficient to pre- vent the ratification of the reciprocity treaties. The promise in the republi- can platform to favor legislation that would prevent nonopolies ito limit production or to control prices has not been redeemed and never will be until the republican party and its pres ent leaders are retired from business, for the trusts and monopolies furnish their bread of life campaign funds. The promises of the republican plat form to labor have not been re- deemed. The republican platform de- clared, i've are in favor of a more ef- fective restriction of the immigration of cheap labor from foreign countries D That this promise has not been kept is plain to every man on earth from the fact that the present immigration exceeds that of any other year in the history of the country. It is quite un- necessary to go on piling up instances of republican platform promises repu diated. The above are amply suffi. cient to show that the republican plat. forms are like those Of the passenger coach, made to go in on and not tc stand on.

Mohammeaans and Pork.

A recent traveller in Somaliland gives the following curious incident showins the Mohammedan hatred for pigs: "We shot two wart hogs, one a particularly big boar. Alan wished to keep the tusks. but, of course, none of the Somalfs would touch the unclean animal. Al last bribe of two rupees induced tho Midgap woman to chop the tusks out with a hatchet. Even then she woaId not touch them, and with the help ot two sticks, which she used like a pair of tongs, put them on camel. Then there was long dispute about the hatchet. No one would touch it; it had been defiled. Of course, this was pure affectation and playing to the gallery on the ayah's part. At home with her na- tive tribe she would have gorged all the pig she could get. But it fiattered the Eomalis, and we marched off, the ayah holding the hatchet at arms length as # t were going to bite hsr. z

as it involved. the renunciation of cer- tain sovereign rights-of civil jurisdic- don, of police and of criminal Juris- diction over foreigners-in the zone of territory through which the canal is to pass, says an exchange. The Colom- bian constitution, we are told, express ly forbids any alienation of territory, and we are asked to believe that the instrument is so sacrosanct in the eyes of Colombians that not even for mil lions of dollars and other material ad- vantages would congress or the people permit 1t to be tempered with. In Spanish America, politicians are law yers when they are not soldiers; though prone to illegal acts in practice, they never hesitate to invoke, as matter of theory, the strictest letter of the law and nothing delights them more than opportunity to air their patriotism for the benefit Of the foreigner and pornp- ously express the most elevated of sen timents. These amiable characteris- tics have resulted, in the case of Co lombia, in no fewer than seven constl- tutions, three changes in the very title of the republic, and local and general revolutions so frequent that even the best informed historians of the country find it difficult to enumerate them in correct chronological order. The best test of the value of senatorial speeches concerning the sancity of the constttu' tion will be found in the fact that the rejection of the Hay-Herran treaty was promptly followed by the introduction of measure providing for constitu- tional amendments. likely to smooth the way for further negotiations.
