THE MOVER SUIT
Adjutant General Bell Has Something to Say
 About it.

Colorado Springs Col. June. 16 --Ad- jutant General Sherman M. Bell while here was interviewed on the Mover suit in the United States circuit court at St Louis. General Bell said:
 MT Richardson. who has brought suit in St Louis. knew ten days ago that We fully intended turning MT Mover over to the civil authorities or turning him loose before this. This action was to have been taken last Tuesday, but the Cripple Greek rou- ble has occupied our time So much that we had to let San Miguel county go temporarily. Governor Peabody was In St Louis when the supreme court rendered the decision. We were waiting for that decision before turning MT Mover over to the civil au- thorities and had not the Independence catastrophe occurred ten hours before the supreme court rendered it's decis- ion Mr Mover would have been re- leased from custody, and martial law would have been at an end in San Miguel county by the end of last week. Mir Richardson knew this. but he seemed to be anxious not to have MT Mover turned over to the civil author ities"

VANDEMARK CASE:
If It Goes Against Him It WfIiAb,
 Appealed Higher.

If it turns out that the appeal of Willis Vandemark is decided against him steps have been already taken to take the case to the United States su- preme court. The arguments on the appeal to the state supreme court be- gan yesterday in New Haven and closed this morning. The counsel en. gagged, Kellogg and Root for the state. and O'Neill, Kennedy and Hamilton for Vandemark, used every moment or the time allowed for their arguments, and at the close of yesterdays session of the court there was an argument over a claim by MT O,Neill that he had fifteen minutes more. It was finally allowed to let him proceed and he re- sumed this morning.
 Two additional grounds for appeal were filed by the defense after the case was printed for the court While this is not unusual, it is not custom ary- In these additional reasons the defense claims constitutional grounds, and it was in order to pave the way to the United States supreme court that they were filed.
 In substance. they state that Vande- mark was denied constitutional liberty and equal rights with every person living under the constitution of the United States. They claim that he was singled. out by the state to be made an example of for others. and in this way he was denied the inherent rights and privileges of a citizen of the country. The original reasons for appeal are that Vandemark was tried once before on the same facts that were presented against him in the case for perjury, and that consequently these facts were already adjudicated and determined when he was put on trial the second time. Tn view of the constitutional reasons for appeal, it now seems that in his arguments in the superior court MT O'Neill, who drew mp the appeal, was looking very far ahead.
 His statements to the court then amazed everybody for their audacity. He said that it should not be so, that everybody had the idea that Vande- mark was singled out, not by the state, but by the Connecticut Railway and Lighting Go. to be made an ex- ample of for those inclined to violate the law. and that people should think that the courts were allowing them selves to be used for that purpose.

MOST APPALLING
 DISASTER KNOWN

Na-v York. June l6-When the tale of the General Slocum disaster IS fy1llv told-when the last blackened hodv has been taken from the burned hulJS and the swift waters of Hell Gate give up their dead-the catas- trophe will take it's place as the most annaIIing that has ever occurred Tn the inland waters of America. Definite fip,1res on the loss of life cannot yet De given. That more than 500 persons perished is a horrible certainty, but how much in excess of that number the total will run will only be known when the missing column is finish ed.
 All durie the night and through the early dawn to-day the sad work Of exploring the Slocum's hull went on and from dock to norgue the sad pro cession of ambulances each with It's pitiful load. wound its way from the river front to the morgue at the foot of 26th street, until at 10 o'clock, 463 bodies lay on the slabs.
 Most of these came from the wreck but the night-long patrol of the waters of East river added it's ghastly quota.
 There are many bodies still in the hold of the burned vessel, according to
 
 is looked to complete the list How many, preferring death by drowning to the agony of death by fire, went over the rail never to rise again dur ing the mad race of the vessel for the beach, will probably never be known, for the treacherous waters of Hell Gate do not willingly give up their victims.
 Unlike the Iroquois theater and other great catastrophes of recent years where the woe of the disaster reached throughout the land, the blow of the Slocum's mortality falls prac- tically upon one little neighborhood of great city. St Marks parish, which furnished nearly every victim, ] lies within ten crowded blocks of the middle east side, and therein to-day there is hardly house that is not in mourning. The membership of the little Lutheran church is practically German or of German descent, and all of the comparatively well to do class. In the ten minutes race of the burn ing steamer from the moment the fire was discovered until her bows crashed on the shelving beach of North Broth CT island, there were many deeds of i heroism which make the one bright chapter in the heartrending story. Brave men, devoted mothers and even maidens and youths of tender years each contributed their part to the roll of heroic acts. There were fescues in the face of almost certain death and useless but exacted sacrifice for dear ones. The credit for the greatest saw ing of life is due to the hardy tug boat 1 t1gmer of the river, who brayed the I flames and held the noses of their boats against the fire wrapped steamer until driven off by the awful heat, scorched and choking. Dead bodies of women were found with their burned arms clasping close the pitiful forms of little children and babies were found. their tiny arms enfoiding each other in the stiff embrace of death.
 But there is a darker side hinted at along the river front where are told i stories that seem to be the inevitable
