Promise Case
Succeeds,
Special Dispatch to The Call.


NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-Mrs. Fannie
Surdam Stelle, aged 81. who has for
tune of s2,0O0,O00, announced to-day
that she is about to marry Edgar A.
Accetta, aged "a. the barytone who was
brought into public notice under Mrs.
Stelle's patronage, and who recently
entered suit against her for $4,000
damages for breach of promise,
AS late as last Saturday afternoon
her lawyers were working on the suit
against her, but on Saturday night a
compromise was reached whereby she
settled $25, 900 On the barytone as an
ante-nuptial gift and then stopped the
suit by promising to marry him.
Accetta is tall and fine looking. with
a boyish face that bellies even his
twenty-four years. He has lived all
his life in the Italian quarter on the
East side,. where he met Mrs. SteIIe,
and his brother had kept a real estate
and insurance Office, the income Of
which was so small that he gave his
evenings to singing at private gather
ings. He Travelled about the city with
a four-piece string orchestra.

Her Usual Sci"
When It Was
Signed.

In Judge Coffeys court, Douglas
Sloane Watson, one of the witnesses
to the contested will, yesterday told
the jury that Bertha Marion Dolbeer
was rational" and "of sound mind"
when she executed her testament in his
office on April % of the present year.
Watson was emphatic and to his
mind there could be no question as to
the mental condition of the testatrix
at the time. He had known. her intt-
mately. for many years and did not no
tice the slightest change in her de-
meanor.
Miss Dolbeer was just herself" was
the terse way he put it. Not the faint
est suspicion had been aroused in his
mind that her mind was affected, as
the contestant now contends. On the
contrary. she showed much intelli-
gence in the making of the Will and in
following the formalities of the law.
She exercised a wise caution in its
preparation and for its Keeping.
Mrs, Watson was Miss Dolbeer's cou-
sin and one Of her closest friends. The
husband had in some degree participat-
ed in that intimate friendship. Mrs.
Watson is a daughter of Mrs. J. L.
Moody, who gave testimony in behalf
of the contestant, but is not in ac-
cord with her mother In her wish to
have the testament upset.
On cross-examination Watson admit
ted that he expected his wife to be one
of the beneticiaries of the will he wit
messed. but did not peruse. 1t tran
spired that there was no bequest for
her. however, but this did not warp
Watson's opinion as to the ability of
Miss Dolbeer to dispose of her estate
nor affect his inclination to testify in
support of the will.

COLLUSION

BY INQUIRY
No Frauds in the
Railway Mail
Contracts.
Special Dispatch to The Call.


CALL BUREAU. HOTEL BARTON,
WASHINGTON, Nov 21.-In the inves-
tigation of the office of the Second As
sistant Postmaster General in connec-
ton with the awards Of railway mail
contracts that bureau has received a
vindication. No illegal collusion has
been found between any Government
official and railway managers, but it is
possible that recommendations will go
to Congress as a result of this inquiry
for changes in the method of awarding
these contracts. There is a we'll ground
ed opinion among administration Of
flcials that a system of competitive bids
should be introduced so far as possible.
President Roosevelt and Postmaster
General Wynner now believe that the
Postoffice Department is fairly clear of
dishonest practices and that the way
is open for administrative reforms The
investigation of the second assistants
Office, so far as it has to do with the
transportation of the mails, has been
going on in secret for several months
and was ordered by the President be-
fore Postmaster General Payne's death.
1t had been alleged that the railways
were being paid altogether too much
for their service The amount paid for
transportation during the last year was
more than $3S, ,0C0, 000-a quarter of the
entire expenditure of the Postoffice De-
partment The system of weighing
mails for a given period on which to
base contracts for four years was Sc
verely attacked, and it was said that
the railways received notice in advance
when this weighing was to take place
in order that the mails might be in
creased at that time. 1t was even
charged that members of Congress were
given the tip when the roads in their
districts were to have the weighing pc
riod that they might bulge the mails
with franked matter.

CAUSE OF DIsTRUsT.

What had already happened was
dwarfed in interest by what followed
Amid cries of question" when Ma
loney was through with his talk, the
delegates demanded a vote on the res
olution that had made all the trouble
That and the preamble in full are as
follows:
OF wealth in the United States and the rapid
development OF the trusts In almost every
branch Of industry make IL obvious that capt.

viii have to make room Tor another phase of
civilization; and,
whereas It IS evident that this nation e

therefore, be IL
Resolved. That we hereby recommend to all
organizations afhhated with the American
Federation OF Labor TO have their members
study the economic conditiora to have lectures
upon these subjects in their iodgerooms and at
the meetings set apart for this purpose and TO
do everything in their power for the eniighten-
ment and intellectual advancement of the pro-
letariat.
The first part of the preamble con-
tains the words that the resolutions
committee objected to.
Early in the afternoon there had been
little stir in the debate until Max
Hayes, the leader of the Socialists in
the convention, rose to speak. Then all
necks were craned to look at him and
all ears took in his speech of twenty
minutes, in which he spoke of Social
ism, and the gallery applauded wildly
until Gompers called the spectators to
order and forbade any demonstration
on their part.
Vice President Duncan, Secretary
Foster of the resolutions committee,

BERGER WANTS PROOF.

Berger was on his feet in an in
stant and demanded to have a copy Of
the leafiet about which MaloneY had
been talking.
Maloney speedily made his way TO
the stage, calling upon President Com
pers to deliver to him a copy Of the
leaiet that was in the possession of
the president Of the American Fedora
tion of Labor.
Gompers met him at the edge Of the
stage, the leaflet held out. and this
MalOney took and went back to his
place near the front of the hall and
there held up the paper, while the
crowd applauded and jeered.
Berger looked at the print and said:
"Of course this was sent out by the
business Office and 1, as an editors have
never seen it before. OF course l am
responsible for all that is in the paper
Of which 1 am an editor and I will
make good on IT; even in what is in
this leaflet."
Berger then moved down toward the
door and Maloney continued. He de-
nounced the Socialists as "a dishonest
and hypocritical party; alluded to a
remark on the floor that this country
might have a bloody civil contest and
said that If this were so it would begin
only after a Socialist victory. There
would, he said, be no bloody revolu-
tion. He also attacked the Socialists
on the score that they had not come
into the convention as men, but had
come under a cloak He told the con-
vention that he was a printer and in
that way had determined beyond doubt
that the lealet he held had been

A YEAR OF PROSPERITY
Reported at Annual Meeting Of Historical
Society.

Reports of officers received at the an
nual meeting of the Minnesota Historical
society's executive council and general
organization last night in the state CAPT.
tol show that the past year was one of
the most prosperous in the history of the
society.
The business session was followed by a
largely attended general meeting, at which
addresses were delivered by General John
B. Sanborn, president, on The Past
and Future of This Society," and by Sec
rotary Warren Upham on 1.-THE Origin
and Meaning Of Minnesota Names Of Riv-
ers, Lakes, Counties, Townships and

Matthew G. Norton and William II.
Laird of Winona and Frank F. Fletcher
Of Minneapolis were elected to life mem
bership, and M. j. Bowling of Olivia was
made an annual member. The society
now has SO honorary members, 1877 life
members and 40 annual members.
The library contained 1899 books and
pamphlets and 40,393 bound books. Dur
ing the past year 2,711 books and 1872
pamphlets were received, and 1884 cards
added to the catalog, so that it num-
bers 1861 cards. The Minnesota section
of the library contains lab books and
1900 pamphlets dealing with Minnesota

and piles Of 5000 ducks are not an UNI
common sight along the railway sta

market. The birds cannot leave the
country, for elsewhere it is too cold.
An instance Of ruthless slaughter
and waste happened not long ago in
southern city where several hundred
of decay, were offered at the following
unheard Of prices: six teals, rs cents,
four teal and two mallards, 80 cents;
one mallard and a teal, 10 cents.
If the sale of game were prohibited
such cases would come to an end. The
sportsmen of the south are beginning
to realize the seriousness of the situa-
ton and Texas has already passed a
law stopping the sale Of game. The
ducks belong to all sections and what
affects the south affects the north. A
national game law Is now being dis
cussed for its prohibition, and the
southern sportsmen are appealing to
the north for assistance in passing
such law in the southern states.
But the bill which is being pushed
for the Iowa legislature by Iowa peo-
pie in general, is the bill to prohibit
the practice of shooting pigeons at the
trap. The Audubon society of Schal-
Ter, Iowa, is working hard for this
measure. The secretary is writing
hundreds of letters to influential per
sons and has received many promises
Of assistance, among them. are some
from G. O.. Shields, editor Of Recrea-
ton and President of the League OF
American Sportsmen, and it's vice
president, Ernest Thompson Seton, the
writer. Aside from the cruelty Of the
sport, which is admitted by all, it has
resulted in almost the determination
Of the tame pigeon, and the English
sparrow has been resorted to by gur
clubs.

ALL WERE OUT QUICKLY
FIRE TEST AT CENTRAL HIGH
RESULTS IN CLEANING BUILD
ING IN MINUTE AND A HALE.

What can be done to clear the
great Central High school in an en-
Urgency was shown most satisfactorily
this morning. Messrs. HaWley, Nc
MILAN, Hicks and Pratt of the board
of education had visited the school
to make an inspection, and it was
suggested that fire alarm be turned
in to see what would be the outcome.
The plan was tried with really aston
ishing results.
The great building was cleared in
just one and a half minutes from
the time the alarm was turned in. U.s.
There was no confusion nor dis
order, the pupils passing out in the
regular order as tho going home for
the noon recess. The result is the
more surprising when it is remem-
bered that no drills for such emer-
gencies have been held there for
months.
The board Of education has been
asked to build an addition to the Lin
den Hills school, but cannot see it's
way to do so now, and there is talk
Of the residents at the hills putting
up a building for the use of the board.
