that the man who had attempted his
life WAS the same who had killed Rich
ard COTE. Both had been robbed, and
Two would have been murdered but
for Geotfrey's providential awakening.
And that this was some inmate of the
hall appeared certain.
No one knew of his having the jewels
but the family and urbano. The bar
riSter'S thoughts centered themselves
on the man, whom he considered to
have a forb!dding and evil countenance.
He had always regarded him with q
dislike that now deepened to distrust.
The comparatively small sum stolen
from Goffe would seem a large amount
to a servant. While the jewels, If sue
cessfully disposed of. would mean a
fortune.
The Wallets broad shoulders We're a

he was acquainted with the use of poi
sons. for there was no knowing what
experience a man with as repulsire
an exterior had passed through, and
there We're few Italians who did not
know the uses and abuses to which
herbs could be applied. The rascal
must be closely watched by detectives.
| Then came the question as to wheth-
er there We're two persons in the room
at the time the attack was made on
him. At the instant he started from
sleep he had certainly imagined that
he had heard movements at either side
of his bed. On the other hand, he knew

sound in the dark. The thought oc-
CURED that while he was being we'll
nigh strangled by one man, a second
might have carried off the jewels.
1t was readily seen that Urbanos
devotion to his maste: was extended
to his masters son. At Goffe's inquest
! MaX's debts had been mentioned. His
! habits were extravaganza, he was a
! gambler. and no doubt he was pressed
! for money. That he was reckless and
violent was shown by his attempt upor
his life when refused by Edith. AnG
that he was jealous of his successful
rival was plain, it might follow that he
was reVengeful. The man whom
Edith loved would have to be removed
before another could hope to stand il
his place.

CATTLE RATE HEARING.
C. F. Resseguie and III. II. EInbry Tell
What They Know.

C. F. Resseguie, formerly with the
Santa Fe railroad at Topeka, but now
district general superintendent of the
Frisco with headquarters at Spring.
field, Mo-, and H. H. Embry, general
freight agent of the Rock Island rail-
road, formerly of Topeka but now at
Kansas City, appeared before the in
terstate commerce commission at Chi
cago yesterday and testified in the cat
tie rate hearing which is in progress
before that body. The railway men
are trying to explain why in their
judgment the present rates for the
shipment of live stock should be main
tanned.
According to the testimony of Mr..
Resseguie cattle taken from Texas to
the northern ranches are so poorly
fed that some of them are unable to
stand while the train is in motion and
many of them die in the cars. Mr..
Resseguie asserted tht the railroads
were held responsible for the safe de-
livery of these animals and therefore
the railroads were sometimes COM
PEELED to pay heavy damages to the
shippers.
II. H Embry in his testimony gave
a summary of the reasons furnished
by railroad men for maintaining the
present rates for live Stock. These
reasons are: The requirements of
shippers, such as arbitrary loading of
cars at arbitrary hours and the arbi-
Irary un1OdQlnS ana Ol Tie
same cars; the liability to claims
which materially reduce the gross earn
ings on this class of freight; the delay
to other traffic caused by stock trains;
the free transportation given to par
ties accompanying stock and their re-
turn; the enforced returning of empty
cars, greatly increasing the empty
mileage on stock cars and the extra
ordinary expense for equipment and
maintenance required by this traffic.
rinnPd down officials
railroads but the Missouri Kansas and
Texas railroad have admitted that the
earnings from live stock were above
the average earnings per mile on all
other freight handled, and some roads
were unable to name any other class
of freight that paid as good profits as
live stock.
The Katy has shown tha1 the aver
age profits per car mile are less from
live stock than from the general aver
age of all traffic. The Katy has raised
the rate a considerable over what it
was few years ago from Texas points
to the packing centers.
Jules M. Hannaford, vice president
in charge of traffic of the Northern
Pacific system, said: "Our rates on live
stock are lower than those of the lines
from Texas, and their rates are too
low.
1.-The rates are kept down by COM
petition. We are forced to meet the
rates of the Great Northern, Burling-
ton, 500 line. Northwestern, and Ore
gon Short line Three years ago we
made a slight increase in rates by
changing the basis from so many dol
lars per car load to so many cents per
100 pounds.
I'm 1898 our receipts from live stock
were 1859, $685. and in 1903 were 81, ,405,-
1874. In 1908 557 per cent of our total
and as per cent of our damage claims
were on that traffic.

is WARE OUT?
Legality of Pension Commis-
sioner's Act Is Questioned.
Resignation Was Accepted
Without Specified Date.

Washington, Nov. 1S.-A question has
been raised as to the date when the
resignation of Pension Commissioner
Ware takes effect. The resignation was
dated November 13, last, and accepted
by the president the next day. Neither
in the resignation nor in the accept
ance was there any mention of time
when the resignation should become
operative. The commissioners note
was brief. He only said:
with best wishes I hereby tender
this, my resignation
Since the presidents acceptance has
been received the commissioner has
continued to discharge the duties of
quiry has developed the fact that it
was his expectation to remain in office
for some weeks yet. The question as
to date has been brought unofficially
to the attention of the secretary of the
interior, but he has not as yet taken
any step in connection with the mat
ter. The claim is made that Mr.. Wares
occupancy of the office terminated
when the president acted upon it and
that no act of the commissioner since
that date is legal. When the matter
was brought to Mr.. Wares attention
today he replied that he had not known
that the question had been raised.
MY intention has been" said he ito
remain in office until about the 18th of
December, but 1 am not anxious TO

OFFERED TO BLACK.
Tender of Cabinet Place to New
YorIx's Former Governor.

New York, Nov. 1S.-The World says:
Former Governor Frank S. Black has
been rendered an offer of the attorney
generalShip in President Roosevelt S
cabinet term beginning March 4, 1905.
While President Roosevelt has not
formally invited Mr.. Black to become a
member of his official family the tender
of the attorney generalship has been
made in a way that carries with it the
assurance of the president that he
would like to have New Yorks former
governor in his cabinet of younger men
which Roosevelt is understood to want as
his associates during the next adminis-
tration.
1t is the view of Ex-Governor Blacks
friends, both in New York and Albany,
that he will not accept the attorney
generalShip because it would mean sac
rificing a law practice which, it is said,
nets him nearly 100000 a year and
which his friends say he could retain
if he should be elected to the United
States senate. For this reason the ex-
governors friends assert, he will pre-
fer to take the senatorship.
The understanding of these New York
Republican leaders who know of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's plan to prevent a fight
over Chauncey NJ. Depew'S seat in the
senate. is that Mr. Moody accepted the
attorney generalship only on condition
that his appointment should terminate
on March 4 next. 1t is believed Presi-
dent Roosevelt may invite Mr.. Moody
to remain in the cabinet after that
day in some other capacity. But this
is a point which is interesting. New
York politicians very little. Their main
concern is to whether Mr.. Black will
accept the attorney generalship.

NICHOLS WILL SUE.
Former County Attorney Wants Fee
for Defending Bridge Case.

Former County Attorney Nichols
has announced that he will sue the
county for $3.50, the fee he claims in
the suit of Keepers & Thatcher, the
contractors Of the Melan bridge,
against the county for $4,000.
Nichols filed his claim and it was
rejected by County Auditor Cav on
the ground that the law provides that
the salary of the county attorney is
compensa ton for all services perform
ed for the county. Nichols thinks that
as he performed services in the case
outside of Shawnee county that he is
entitled to extra com Densation- The
basis of his contention is the suit of
David ]. Brewer against the county of
Leavenworth brought when he was
county attorney of that county in the
sixties for extra compensation for ser
vices similar to those Nichols claims
he performed.
The board of commissioners, after
directing Nichols as county attorney
to proceed, engaged Welch & Welch to
represent the county and the case was
settled during the absence of Nichols
by compromise, the county paying
about $1,000. The controversy between
Nichols and the county will be sub
mitted on agreed statement to
Judge Hazen.

BLACK IN WARES PLACE
President Roosevelt VIII Name Demo-
crat for Pension Commissioner.

Chicago, Nov.1S.-A Washington spec
ial to the Inter-Ocean says: 1t is re-
ported by cabinet authority that the
president has decided upon General
John c. Black, of Chicago, a Democrat,
as his choice for commissioner of pen
sions, to succeed Eugene F. Ware, who
has resigned, to take effect January L.
The president. it is stated, has select
ed James L. Davenport, the first deputy
commissioner under Ware, to be chief
of the bureau for the two months be-
tween January 1 and March 4, when Mr.
Roosevelt will be inaugurated. Direct
ly after he is inducted into office again
Mr.. Davenport will be reduced to the
deputyship, when General Black, who is
at present civil service commissioner,
will be named.
General Black was pension commits
sioner under President Cleveland. Re-
Gently he has been in bad health, and
the president desires the transfer, in
order that a younger and more ener-
getic man may be placed in the civil
service commission. General Black is
a former commander of the G. A. R.

MOHAWK BURNS.
Long Island Sound Steamer De-
Str0yed by Fire.
Carried % Persons and Valuable
Freight Cargo.
LOST LIFE.
All Others Were Rescued by q
Following Vessel.
All Attempts to Send Assistance
From Shore Failed.

New York, Nov. 18.-While bound
down Long Island sound on one of
her regular passages from this city
and New London, Conn, the freight
steamer Mohawk of the Central Yer
mont road took fire off Horizons Point,
L. L, and was burned to the waters s
edge early today. Her crew excepting
the watchman were rescued by pass
ing steamship and taken to Fall River,
Mass. 1t is believed the Mohawk will
be a total loss and little if any of her
cargo will be saved.
The Mohawk left New York last
evening with a full cargo of general
merchandise. She had % persons on
board, including two women. AS the
steamer passed Horizons Point the
lighthouse keeper saw fire breaking
from the boat and few minutes later
she was wrapped in flames. Assistance
was near at hand in the shape of the
Fall River line steamer Boston which
had closely followed the Mohawk
down the sound and those on board
the burning steamer with the one eX-
ception noted were taken off. The
flames had passed beyond control,
however, and she was abandoned to
her fate.
A few moments after the Boston had
resumed her interrupted voyage there
came the sound of a heavy explosion
panied by a burst of flames. shot up
from the center of the abandoned
steamer.
When dawn came the steamer was
lying fast on the bar off Horizons s
Point and only a portion of her upper
works showed above the surface. This
gradually disappeared as the fire ate
its way into the hull of the boat. The
lighthouse keeper was unable to make
out the name of the abandoned steam
er and it was not until the rescued
crew had reached Fall River that the
name of the unfortunate craft was
made known. At the same time it was
learned that one life was lost by the
burning of the vessel. A watchman
who was on duty when the flames were
discovered failed to reach the Boston
when she stood by to give assistance,
and it is supposed that he lost his life.
Attempts to send assistance from
shore were unsuccessful.

DROVE OFFICERS AWAY.
Child Dies With iphtheria-Parents
Object to Quarantine.

John Gamaloskey, a Russian, living
at 315 East First street, objected to
having his house quarantined.
Last night one of the Gamaloskey
children, a year-old baby died of diph
liberia, and when the health department
heard of the case, officers went to the
house to establish quarantine. They
had not heard that diphtheria had bro
ken out in the household, until notified
by an undertaken.
When the two sanitary officers ap-
preached and attempted to tack quar-
antine sign on the Gouse, Gamaloskey
came out and chased them away. The
police were called, and by threatening
Gamaloskey drove him back into the
house, and the health officers tackled up
their sign and established a guard line
around the building. There are eight
other children in the family, and they
have all been exposed to the disease
which killed the baby. The neighbors
are very indignant because Gamalos-
key failed to report the disease.
