WANTS CARS EQUIPPED
WITH LIFTING JACKS
Stephen Byrne Petitions Supervisors
to Compel Street Railroads to In
stall Devices for Accidents.

Stephen Byrne yesterday petitioned
the Supervisors to compel street rail-
road companies to equip their cars
with lifting jacks. Byrne said he wit
messed an accident where the victim,
a little boy, was compelled to remain
under the car thirty minutes until
lifting Jacks were borrowed from a
nearby machine shop. Again Byrne
says that on Monday last 3-year-old
child was killed on Mission street near
Twenty-third and the frantic parents
were compelled to stand by for half
an hour until lifting jacks could be
brought from the car house at Twen-
ty-ninth street. Byrne says that these
sights impel him for the cause of hu-
manity to request that some action be
taken.

what the prosecution had testified there
was no proof that the defendant had
advocated real anarchy, which means
| destruction of both life and property in
the attainment of it's impractical ends
So the orator was dismissed and ad-
vised to shift his forum from Patrol
! man Nelson's beat.
Joseph Smith was held without bail
to answer in the Superior Court the
charge of having murdered Joseph Nc
Gowan. His attorneys motion that
bail be allowed was declined by Judge
| Mogan, who remarked that the testi-
mony showed Smith was the aggressor
throughout and that his killing of Nc
Gowan was "cold-blooded assassina-
tion." The aged defendant displayed no
feeling whatever while the magistrate
was speaking, but sat at the attorneys
table and calmly brushed dust specks
from the lapels Of his coat.
In the department graced by Judge
Mogan's presidency the 300 block of
Prospect avenue made it's first Police
Court appearance this year. During
the preceding twelvemonth. it figured
several times before each of the four
magistrates, and the testimony heard
yesterday afforded warrant for pre-
diction that its best previous record
will be eclipsed during the twelvemonth
to come. The feud that involves almost
every resident of the block seems to ac-
quire strength with age.
Miss Pearl Catfish is the complain
ant this time. 1t is her fourth ap-
pearance in that role, and she has also

land Jail.
TREASURES IN TRUNK

Cleveland, O., Jan. 5.-Attorney
Frossman today opened the myster-
ious trunk of Mrs. Chadwick's which
was spirited away from the Holland
House in New York 1t contained
furs and wearing apparel to the value
of $4,000. The furs consisted of a
sealslin suit. boas and muffs. The
suit alone was appraised at $4,000.
A clash occurred during the after
noon between the federal authorities
and state authorities as to the visi-
tors who should be admitted to pri-
vate conference with Mrs. Chadwick.
Her attorney, Jay p. Dawley, called at
the Jail accompanied by DIR. Chadwick
and her son, Emil Hoover. The dep
uty sheriff admitted the trio without
hesitation. Two United States deputy
marshals were at the Jail and they OBJ
jected, barring the entrance of the at
torney and his company. There was a
violent dispute and it seemed for a
time that the trouble would come to
fsticuffs.
Attorney Dawley withdrew and call
ed a meeting at which Sheriff Null
hern, United States Marshal Chandler
and himself were present to see If an
agreement could be reached. The sher-
iff has been legally advised that his
authority over the prisoner is superior
to that of the government as she was
intrusted to his custody and must
abide by the rules of the jail. Chand-
Ter issued a permit for Emil and the
maid Freda to visit Mrs. Chadwick
when they pleased. The sheriff refus-
ed to allow them in the Jail only dur
ing the regular visiting hours. Chand-
Ter retaliated by objection to the Wis
its of DR.. Chadwick The sheriff re-
fused to be bound by the wish of the
marshal and the marshal placed his
biggest deputies on guard to prevent
the doctor gaining admittance to the
prison.
Those present at the meeting refus-
ed to say what agreement had been ar
rived at but the marshal's deputies
were called off and the matter is to be
presented to Judge Wing in the morn
ing.

NJ 'K|NLEYS BIRTHDAY
COMES ON SUNDAY
THIS YEAR
CARNATiON LEAGUE MAKES AP-
PEAL FOR ITS UNIVERSAL
OBSERVANCE.
Asks That Churches Give a Portion of
the Time to Recalling Virtues of
the Great Cantonian.

The following appeal for the univer-
sal observance of McKinley's birth
day by the Carnation league and 9TH
ers is being sent out by the trustees of
the league:
Dayton, o., Jan. 5.
January 90, 1905, the anniversary of
the birth of the late President VIII
liam Mckinley is approaching, and 1t
falls upon a Sunday.
"Carnation Day" is already recog.
nized as being upon the nations cal.
endar, and there is fine opportunity
this year to bring out the patriotic
features of the memorial.
1t was suggested by the trustees of
"The Carnation League of America"
in an Associated Press telegram sew
eral weeks ago, that the day be OBJ
served by the churches, the Y. Nj. G.
A., and other religious and patriotic
organizations, by having at least a
portion of their services on that day
appropriate to this memorial, and the
suggestion has met with universal
favor.
The beautiful Christian spirit which
pervaded the private life of William
Mckinley, and marked his death,
makes such an observance of the day
as is proposed for Sunday, January
20, 1905, peculiarly appropriate from
the view point of the pulpit and the
press.
Follow the scripture text: "This day
shall be unto you for memorial"
The trustees Of "The Carnation
League of America" wish it understood
that no commercialism whatever at
taches to this movement The league
is seeking no funds, and any solicita-
tion on the part of anybody is spurious
and unauthorized.
Hoping that there may be a wide
spread observance of the day on Sun
day January 29, 1905, in the manner
proposed, and that the press will give
the matter the publicity it merits, am,
Yours very truly,
LEWIS G. REYNOLDS, Trustee.

WEALTH OF THE SOUTH
REMARKABLE ADVANCE BE-
TWEEN 1900 AND 1eo4--MoRE
THAN $93o,ooo,ooo.

Baltimore, Md, Jan. 5. The Manu-
facturer's Record presents this week
the approximate figures for the assess
ed 1aluation of the property in all the
southern states at the beginning of
1905. The total assessed valuation is
ixed at $451O, ,925, ,2S7 in 1890; $780,
59i,044 in 1900, and S6,196. .697813 in
1904. Commenting upon these figures
the Manufacturers Record says:
THE remarkable advance in ma
terial wealth in the south between
1900 and 1904 was more than $3.50 000,-
900 or at an average of $230,0O0,O0 a
year. The magnitude of this increase
is strikingly illustrated when compar-
ed with the progress in the decade be-
between 1890 and 1900. when the total
increase in assessed valuation was
s775 900, 900 or SIS 100000 a year.
1t should be borne in mind that dur
ing the last few years. increase in
been almost as marked as the increase
in the value of cotton. The total in
crease in the assessed value of prop
erty from 1880 to 1900 was $2,310,O0O,-
900. Thus in the last four years the
gain in the taxable value in the south
has been 40 per cent as great as the to-
tai gain of the preceding twenty years.
at is believed that with popu-
lation several million less than the to-
tai population of the whole country in
1860 the real wealth of the south is
several million dollars greater than
the total wealth of the country As
years ago.

TIL: BIG MILLS
Must Soon Shut Down If
Forests Are Not
Preserved.
FORESTRY CONGRESS

Washington, u. c., Jan. 5.-Howard
Elliot, president of the Northern Pa
cihc railroad at the afternoon ses-
sion of the National Forestry conven-
tion discussed the dependence of bus
mess interests upon the forests and In
the course of his remarks stated that
the use of cross ties required for their
replenishment the product of half mill
lion acres Of timber land; while other
woods used by the railroads required
the product of as much more land.
The amount of forest products used
in the industrial world, he said, was
indicated by the fact that his system
alone, in 1900, transported 100000
tons of such goods, while In the year
just closed the figures reached 5,2S5, 900
ties.
The Importance of forest use with
out destruction, he emphasized from
the railroad point of view. He declar-
ed that from now on it must be used
by preservation and not forest con-
sumption with attendant destruction.
Mr.. Elliot was followed by F. E.
Weyerhauser, Of the Weyerhauser
Lumber Co.. of st. Paul, who said that
unless improved forestry methods are
introduced, the big mills will have to
shut down in the course of a few
years, and turn their business over to
smaller mills nearer the source of the
ever retreating virgin forest. The
principal reason northwestern lumber
men slash" the forest. he said was
because present taxation methods
make it necessary to strip the land as
quickly as possible to avoid the heavy
expense of keeping it standing.
r. ]. Hagenbarth, president of the
National Livestock association, talked
of grazing interests in the forest re-
serve.
He was followed by b. F. Virgins,
and Representative Lamb of Virginia.
President Roosevelt was then intro
duced and made a brief address.

PATHETIC Scene
IN COURT ROOM
WHEN VICTIMS FATHER TOLD OF
FINDING THE BODY.
Fourth Day Of Trial of Charles Tucker
For the Alleged Murder of
Mabel Page.

East Cambridge, Mass, Jan. 5.-The
Tucker for the alleged murder OF Ma
bel Page at Weston on March 81, was
given over to the testimony of the
dead woman's father in the forenoon
and the examination of DR.. William
A. Mead. medical examiner for Mid
dleseX county and DR.. Frost of Wes-
ton, who assisted at the autopsy.
The story of the finding of the body
by the aged father was pathetic in
the extreme, and at times there was
not dry eye in the court room.
The defendant, Tucker, howe ler, sat
throughout the proceedings as cool as
a cake of ice.
DR.. Mead told of the finding of the
body, OF the nature of the wounds and
admitted under cross-examination that
he at first thought it case of sui
eide Asked if it were possible for the
wounds to have been self inflicted he
replied: 81 should think not"
Are you sure of it?"
am sure VI IL, yes,
He stated that there was absolutely
no evidence of violence and that the
woman had not been outraged. The
doctor admitted that it was possible
from the nature of her wounds that
she might have been killed while in
the lower part Of the house and then
dragged to her room and left where
her body was found
With the aid of a skeleton, he told
of the autopsy. He recited at length
how the body had been opened, what
parts had been removed and the condi-
tion of the woman's system. He ex-
planned the manner in which the knife
entered the body and how, what
it as his opinion that death might not
have ensued for two minutes after the
fatal stab in the chest had been made
and believed the woman had struggled
with her assailant. During that two
minutes death finally resulted from
hemorrhage. He identified the corsets
worn by the dead woman on the day
she was killed and explained to the
jury how and where the knife entered
the corsets and the manner in which it
was withdrawn.
DR.. r. H. b. Frost. of Weston, who
assisted at the autopsy was the next
witness and after describing the time
he was called to the Page home on
March 81 and how he found the body,
court adjourned until $3.50 tomorrow
