.CARNEGIE'S HERO
FUND DENOUNCED
Former Governor Stone Says Real
Heroes Would Shun Public
Charity.
New York Sun Special Service.

Pittsburg, May 9.-Forrner Cover
nor William A. Stone, speaking before
the Lieutenant James Lisle post, q. A.
R., had this to say of Carnegie's hero
fund:
IT consider this newly established
Carnegie hero fund the most ridtcu-
lous, foolish and insane organization
of the present day. If the same spirit
now prevails that was shown by
Americans during the civil war, that
insignificant fund Of 100000 won't
last a week.
True heroes need no, official in
dorsement other than the friendship of
their comrades and fellow men. What
would the boys Of 81 and '65 have
thought Of hero fund in those peril
GUS days? Heroes who are heroes be-
come so for love and devotion to their
country and their fellow men, and
would shun public charity for their
deeds.''

CASE OF STATE
Police Captain Under Ames Re-
gime Will Testify Against
Former Mayor.

Ames official will give testimony Of
material benefit to the states case that
will explain certain facts not now
clearly before the. jury.
| A conversation between himself and
as graft collector is understood to be
| the principal part of his testimony.
Sadie Bird testified, last Friday, that,
distrusting Gardeners authority to- col
lect, she had called Captain Hill in
and explained to him the nature Of the
proposal made to her by the Young
Ames lieutenant. It is understood
that Captain Hill then went to Tom
Brown, the mayors secretary, and told
him Of the incident. Tom, in turn, in
formed the mayor, who In forcible
language, sent an invitation to Captain
Hill to mind his own business"
When informed Of this the captain Is
said to have visited the mayor in
person and apologized and this
conversation is expected to be given
by Hill when he takes the stand. He
is also expected to corroborate Brown
in regard to his conversation with the
mayor. prior to GARDENERS being re-
| tired.
