BARRACKS FOR MARINES.
At PANAMA TO Be WOOD
Congress Won't Put Up Money fo,
Steel Structure as Planned for
Health Purposes.

1t has been decided to build wooden
barracks for the marines on the 18th
mus of Panama instead of the steel and
concrete building originally planned
This is because Congress has shown
a disinclfnation TO put up the building
which was first asked for on the ground
that the price, s150,OO0 was too much
Brigadier General Elliott is now hav-
ing plans prepared for a wooden build
ing, which will cost just half that
amount. 1t IS intended to accommo-
date 400 marines This will prevent the

DUGAN TO GIVE UP $4,000

NEW YORK. Jan 2o-When Hannah
Elias awoke this morning in her hand
some home In Central Park West, It
was an open question whether it was
the beginning of the end of her oecu-
pancy Of the finely furnished house, with
Its many servants, or whether she would
continue as head Of the establishment
The attorneys for John R. Platt feel
confident they have made out a case
Of extortion against her, but the decis-
ion rests with Justice O'Gorman, who

Tried to Save Themselves.
When the Platt suit was begun Han
nah Elias sought to make certain that
xhe would save at least part of the for
tune which the old man had given her
by turning s152.0o0 in cash over to Du
gan, the mysterious man who. has fig
ured prominently in the case.
Dugan neglected to turn the money
over to the receiver appointed by the
supreme court to take charge of the
Elias property. real and personal. and
the whereabouts of the large sum of
money was not revealed until Wednes-
day when Hannah Elias went on the
witness stand
Before she gave her testimony Dugan
also revealed himself, and he said he
was Patrick W. Dugan, an upholsterer,
.
He told of the various confidential serv-
ices he had done for Mrs. Elias, and said
that all last summer he had attended to
the payment of her bills.
Steps to Recover
AS soon as Lyman j. Warren. attor-
ney for Platt, heard where the money
had gone. he took steps to recover it,
Former Governor Black, attorney for
Mrs. Elias, appeared more than sur
prised that his client should have Sc
questered the money and failed to turn
it over to the receiver.
Mr.. Warren in behalf of the receiver,
made a demand for the money, and Mr.
Black insisted that Dugan should turn
It over. This Dugan promised TO do.
This will leave Mrs Elias without a
dollar in the world except the money
which the receiver, under instruction
from the. court, gives her for living ex-
the remainder of the entire fortune
which she got from Platt will be swept
away
Fears Eviction.
That the negress appreciates the posi-
ton in which she now finds herself is
apparent. She has shut herself up in
her house and refuses to see anyone.
Her fear now is that she will be evict-
ed.
On Monday, it is expected, both sides
will hand in their briefs, and Justice
O'Gorman does not expect TO take long
in coming to a decision. Mr.. Black viii
contend that Piatt gave up the money
voluntarily. and for d considera ton.
The consideration. it viii be maintained.
was the love and affection of the ne
gress.
Mr.. Warren, on the other hand, will
contend that the money was paid over
because of the fear of the old man
that unless he complied with the de-
mands of the woman his relations with
her would be exposed. While the law
yers are fighting hard and the woman
trembling for her fortune the most un-
concerned. man is John r. Platt. Ap-
parently he does not care which way
the case goes, so long as ne is let alone
and does not hare to go to court any
more.

Mr.. Simpson said that to produce and

morals something more than the actfy-
ity of a jealous prosecuting officer is
essential If the good he succeeds in
accomplishing is to be permanent he
must be supported by determined
public senJiment-the people must ap-
prove his action and stand steadfast
in opposition to vice and crime.
He gave Mr.. Mackey high praise and
complimented the voters of the county
upon his selection
