would result in Justice Rockers re. moval from the bench. Mir. Tiffany
 said he had known MT. Hooker for
 twenty years and had been extremely friendly towards him until four years
 ago when Taylor was appointed post
 master but since then had been bit. terly hostile towards Judge Hooker. The principal witness of the day
 was Hudson, formerly secretary of the State railroad commission, who said he
 had made several visits for bis paper to Fredonia and Dunkirk in connection with the Hooker case.
 Hudson told the committee that he asked Ball concerning a report to the
 effect that Ball had given Hooker
 mortgage on his vineyard to secure
 note of $2,5OO in order to repay to
 the government all the salary he had
 drawn while on the postoffice pay roll: that Ball refused to answer this and other similar questions. Hudson said
 Tiffany then took up the conversation
 but at no time made the statement alleged by Ball on the stand that he
 would furnish Ball with the best
 lawyer in Chautaqua County" and that
 Ball would not have to pay the note of s2.5Q |.

ROssEAU's CASE.
Sentence Deferred Because of Prison
 CTS Doubtful Sanity.

 CTS Doubtful sanity.
 New York, March 31.-Gessler Ros seau, the dynamiter who was convict ed of sending an internal machine t, the Cunard steamer Umbria and whc also confessed to having attempted to blow up the statue of Frederick the Great at Washington, was not sen fenced today. Instead when he ap. peared before Recorder Goff in the Court Of General Sessions, sentence was indefinitely deferred after the prisoner had been examined at length by the recorder.
 When Rosseaps case was called his attorney presented an affidavit ques- tioning the prisoners sanity and asked that commission be appointed to examine him. The recorder asked Rosseau several questions. The dyna- miter replied that some of the things he had done appear ridiculous to him now, but he assured the recorder that he never intended to take any life; that he had never at any time or in any way had any connection with any secret organization; that he never had offered his machines to any European Government; that he never received any mohey for the machines which he made for the Cubans. The recorder questioned Rosseau about his family. put the latter replied: T have friends and relatives, but I would rather leave my case in your hands and not call them into it."
 In asking the court to postpone sem tence MT. Kiefer, the counsel for the prisoner. told the recorder that he had mad number of conversations with the prisoner in regard to his past life.
 T letrnsa frow hin, that in 1892 while In New Orleans he suffered a sunstroke and that a severe mental de- pression followed" said MT. Kiefer. Beyond that he absolutely refused to say anything about himself or his fam lily. but insists upon talking about his inventions He says he has spent years and practically all his money on one scheme, contrivance of formid- able mechanism designed to deter large nations from intimidating smaller ones. That seems to be the sole theme now in the defepdant's mind"

EQUALITY FOR LAYMEN.
Subject Discussed at Baltimore Meth
 Oflfsf (,nnference.

Washington, March 31.-At todays session of the Baltimore Methodist Conference a resolution for equal rep resentation for laymen. which dealt with the question at some length was introduced, declaring among other things:
 We believe the claim that annual conferences have to do exclusively with ministerial matters is not borne out by the facts. It is the laymen's loyalty and gifts to the church, not the ministers alone, that have made 1t possible for Methodism to exist.
 The laymen who spoke on the sub tect announced their purpose of wag- ing active warfare throughout tho country for the change prior to the general conference In 1908.
 President Lewis M. Bacon of Tow son, Md. of the laymens association, in the course of his annual address eulogized President Rdpsevelt for his loyalty to the church ofNhis faith, and stated that when MT. Roasevelt first came to Washington he dia not cast about to find large and fash tong he congregation, but adopted congre- gation that met In a most humble and unpretentious edifice.
 In the afternoon the conference eel ebrated the anniversary of the wo-
 
 was an address by Miss Bertha Fowler of Philadelphia on the United States as a Mission Field" Secretary Shaw delivered an address on the manner of dealing with the poor in churches. He said in part:
 Not long ago a Methodist minister asked me why is 1t that the Catholic Church is more successful in reaching the poor than we?' I replied, That Is easy. They never talk about It. They draw no distinctions They never abuse the one nor patronize the other The Methodist Church was designed for people; rich people and poor peo- ple educated people and uneducated people; cultured and uncultured. But l do not believe 1t was ever the design of God or man that 1t should be the church of one to the exclusion of the others. In my judgment the only way to keep it the church of all Is to stop drawing distinction between the sons of men. I believe there is more pre- judice on the part of those whom the world calls poor against those whom the world calls rich, than vice-versa. But believe this prejudice is only heightened by continually talking about it. and If this were a popular audience as distinguished from gath erfng of church workers, I would not refer to the subject"

TIFFANY,s ADMISSION.
Tells Reason of His Grievance Against
 Judge Hooker.

Albany. N. r.. March S1.-That his part in the agitation against Justice Warren B. Hooker in the matter of the charges connecting the justice with alleged irregularities concerning
 appointments and rental matters in
 the postoffices at Fredonia and Dun kirk was due entirely to Justice Rockers failure to secure his appoint ment as postmaster at Fredonia was candidly admitted today by George Tiffany. a Fredonia undertaken. to the assembly judiciary committee in its investigation of the charge involving Justice Hooker. He declared that Jus tice Hooker when a representative in congress had promised to secure the postmastership for him but had
 proved untrue"
 Both Tiffany and William c. Hud- son. the latter representative of The Brooklyn Eagle. positively denied the assertion of Frank P. Ball, who testi- fled lasr Wednesday that Tiffany had tried in Hudson's presence to influ- ence him to make statements which

Paris. March 31.-The civil tribunal of the Seine today formally announced It's decision in the case of Carrie Swain, the American actress, against Frank Gardner, the American sportsman, in which the actress claimed to be MT. Eardner's wife.
 The decision was on a line with the recent announcement of the conclu- Bions made by the attorney general. The court rejects the plaintiffs claims and says the correspondence between the parties shows that no marriage ex- lsted. The defendants obligation therefore was only moral The decis- lon also rejects the defendants counter elaim for damages on the ground that he hiNl not established the plaintiffs bad faith

 The cruiser Newark, which sailed from Guantanamo Wednesday, has ar rived at Monte Crsto and reported to the Navy Department.
 It is learned that in answer to the representations of John Bassett Moore, which were in the nature of a pro- test against the interference with the execution of the award in favor of the San Domingo Improvement Com pany, he has been informed that though under the operation of the new agreement all of the customs collec- tions at the Dominican ports save the forty-five per cent going to the sup port of the government are to be kept on deposit in New York. the company will lose no right it now has. The question of the distribution of the money, supposing the treaty Is ratified will not be settled in advance. It is expected that the Americans customs commissioners will be paid by the Do- minican government.
