TALK MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
Discussion Occupies Greater Part of
Session of League of Munich
paIities.

TOLEDO, O., Aug. 4-The only voice
raised at the convention of the League of
American Municipalities today against mu-
nicipal ownership of public utilities was
that of Mayor Woodward of Atlanta, and
the time limit cut him OFF before he had
reached any definite point in his argument
for private ownership. The prominent
champion OF municipal ownership was
Mayor Dunno of Chicago, but Vice Mayor
George d. Jones Of Columbus, o., and F.
S. Spence of Toronto also made strong
addresses favoring the municipal ideal.
Many of those who discussed the subject
were not in favor Of municipal ownership
as an ideal, but seemed TO regard 1t as
last resort, to which the municipality was
being driven by the hopelessness of secur-
ing fair terms and honest fulhllment of OBJ
legations from the public service corpora
tions
Andrew Rosewater, city engineer OF
Omaha, discussed paving construction.
There was no evening session. but in
stead the delegates were banquetted at
The Farm, and later attended a vaudeville
show in the theater adjoining.
Tomorrow morning occurs the final ses-
| sion, the election of officers and selection
OF a place for the next convention.

RYAN MAKES FULL DENIAL
Says senator Burton is Not Involved
in OhickasRw school War
rant Case.

WASHINGTON Augt 4--Acting Secre-
tary Ryan of the interior department today
contradicted a statement published here
that that department had made public
report rejecting upon Senator Burton in
connection with the school warrants OF the
Chickasaw Indians. He said that an inves-
tigation had been made into the issuance Of
those warrants, in the course of which the
discovery had been made that some of them
had been issued to Senator Burton and his
brother for services as attorneys but that
no record had been found of the issuance Of
warrants to the senator for such services
performed subsequent to his election.

Il have meyer" declared he received
one penny in compensation for legal serv-
ices rendered the Chickasaw Nation since
my election as United States senator before
federal department or anywhere else"
Coptinuing, Senator Burton said:
Prior to my election l was employed as
legal counselor to Governor Johnson.
When l became senator my employment
with the Chckasaws ceased. although
Governor Johnson requested that I remain
in my former capacity. The warrants is
sued to me in October, 1901, were in pay
ment for services rendered prior to my
election as senator.
The facts regarding my connection with
| the ChCkasaws has been known TO the

KING OSCAR CHANGES VIEW
swedish Sovereign Now willing That
His Son Accept the, Throne
of Norway.

STOCKHOLM, Aug. A-According to
good authority, sentiment in government
circles regarding the accession by a Berna-
dotte prince TO the Norwegian throne has
undergone complete change. King Oscar
no longer opposes the acceptance of the
crown by his son Charles. As soon as the
union between Norway and Sweden is dis
solved his answer will be given and It
probably will be affirmed
At meeting of the council of state today
Minister of Justice Berger presented a re-
port on the decision of the Norwegian
storthing, approving the proposals Of the
government for the formal opening of ne
gotiations with Sweden for the dissolution
OF the union. At the same time he pro-
posed that King Oscar be requested to en-
power the council TO enter into negotiations
with the Norwegian government for the
settlement Of the questions in dispute,
and also TO authorize the government to
appoint delegates 10 meet the Norwegian
representative.
On the recommendation OF the council
the regent, Crown Prince Gustave, gave

NEW STANFORD SENSATION
Honolulu Doctors say They Are Asked
to Revise Report of
Poisoning.

HONOLULU. Aug 24-The tragic death
-' Mrs. Jane Stanford has been recalled by
sensational story published here to the
'ects tEat representatives. of the stan
rd estate practically offered monetary in
dement's to local physicians to change
cir opinion that strychnine caused the
ath of Mrs. Stanford. II is alleged that
bill Of $50 OF DR.. c. b. Wood, who
irformed the autopsy on the body Of Mrs.
anford, has been refused payment by
le estate on the ground Of territorial
uthorties should have performed the
ltopsy. DR. Wood declared he was em-
Dyed on behalf of the estate by Or. Hum
nreys and that the latter said that he
considered the refusal to pay DR.. Wood to
be amazing, as he considered the employ
ment of a private autopsy physician TO be
proper
The Star in it's story Of the matter says
that in different interviews, a representa-
tive of the estate indicated to the physi-
clans that it would be satisfactory to the
estate if they could revise their findings
Of poison, and in such events their bills
were not to be questioned, and Drs Hum
phreys, Day and Wood would be paid the
amount of their claims of $3.50
All three doctors are preparing 6 state
ment to place LnelT version OF lue BCleullnt
facts of the case before the public in g
final justification Of the decision concerning
the cause Of the death of Mrs. Stanford.
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 24-Referring t
a cable dispatch from Honolulu which in
timated that efforts had been made e
induce the autopsy surgeon and physician
who attended Mrs Leland Stanford a
the time of her death to modify their frs
statements regarding poisoning, Attorne!
Wilson representing the Stanford estate
and Detective Captain Callundan den!
that there was any such attempt. Th
statement was based on the alleged re
lection of a claim for remuneration pre-
| sented by Dr. c. X. Wood, who performet
| the autopsy.
"I do not know said Attorney Wilson
today, that DR.. Wood has made CLAIM
for remuneration for his services as al
autopsy physician. There was CLAIM
| from Wood & Day, who are partners, TO
| $3.50. which has been paid. In fact, all tn
physicians connected with the last Hines
Of Mrs. stRnford have been paid II
hardly reasonable to expect the estate t
compensate the autopsy surgeon, who wa
acting for the government The intimatio
that an effort has been made to have thes
physicians change their statements is to
ridiculously absurd TO require denial"
Captain Callundan said that every legiti
mate claim had been paid.
