Mr.. DEPEW'S
FRIEND" ON
THE CARPET
William S. Manning Yields.
Hughes a Few Facts.
HOW ONE INQUlSITl0N
WAS KEPT FROM PUBLIC

New York, Nov. 23.--It was late IN
the afternoon today when Mr. Hughes.
counsel for the legislative insurance
investigating committee called to the
witness chair William S. Manning, of
Albany, referred to in the letters ad-
dressed by John A. Nichols, to Senator
Depew at the previous session as your
cantankerous friend UP the river"
Manning was the most interesting
witness of the day and was question
ed closely by Mr.. Hughes as to his
connection with life insurance. He
detailed his work for the various com.
panies for many years, and came grad
ually to the time when he took up in
surance work in Albany, and as he
testified was paid $3.50 year by John
A. Nichols Ito protect life insurance
interests. always in the interests Of
business, but not in the interests cf
officers"
After several years he said this
amount was reduced to $500. He dill
DOT know where Mr.. Nichols was get
ting money and had never inquired.
He denied that he had ever received
money from the Equitable Life Assur-
dHtt su0AelS. WHti MS letf ftS ftuut~
ed however. he understood that the
Equitable. the Mutual ana the New
York Life had each paid $3.50 and that
the reduction was due to the fact that
the New York Life had dropped out
of the agreement
An interesting part of the testimony
was reached when Mr. Hughes inquir-
ed concerning the state insurance in
vestigation of 1897. Manning said
he had acted as an expert there and
found that the reports of proceedings
were "garbled and untrue" He testi-
fed that he secured a correcte / re-
port of the, proceedings from the Off
cial stenographer and had the volume
printed. the alleged garbled parts be-
ing printed in italics. This report was
sold to some Insurance company for
$50 a copy The volume was copy
righted, which was secured to prevent
the publication Of testimony contained
in the work He denied also that he
had ever made arrangements with the
Insurance companies TO stop the puh
lication of the book. Il just gave 1t
up" he said when Mr.. Hughes In
quired.
The committee adjourned while Mr..
Manning was on the stand until to-
til tomorrow morning

MOTION TO DISMISS BURTON
INDICTMENT 0VERRULED

st. Louis, Mo, Nov 23.--In a
lengthy extemporare opinion. Unit
ed States Circuit Judge Willis Vande-
vanter overruled the motion TO dismiss

pensatlon to act as an attorney for
the Rfalto Grain and Securities com.
pany. before the postoffce depart
ment at Washington, which was filed
by the defense Immediately following
the close of the governments case to-
day. Judge Vandevanter said that the
definition of the word agreement"
bore pertinently upon this contention,
and went deeply into both the legal
and commercial meanings of the word.
He held that the agreement was not
consumfated until the representative
of the Rialto company. who had con-
Quoted the negotiations with Senator
Burton on the train EN- route from
st. Louis to Chicago, had returned 10
st. Louis, and Senator Burton's prop
osiblon had been accepted by the Ri
alto company Attorney Lehman had
held that the mere agreeing by Sena-
tor Burton to accept a compensation
was all that he (the defendan) was
accountable for, and that had oe-
Cured in Illinois. Judge Vandevanter
then denied the motion and allowed
an exception to the decision :.
One of the most important witnesses
brought forward by the government
was placed on the stand toddy and tes-
timony given which was regard as
very damaging to Burton. The wit
ness, Charles II. Brooks. did not APP

Co., was one of the first to arrive at the
fire. and thought it was remarkable that
the hremen were able to check the
flames. Mr.. Brown said:

Country club and heard the alarm
turned in. 1t was about FIVE minutes to
o'clock. | turned my carriage around and
went straight to the fire. a distance of
about two blocks and when ! arrived
the Morris avenue building and the
Garry store were both on fire, and in
five minutes flames were bursting from
every window of both buildings. | never
saw flames spread so rapidly. 1t looked
to me as if our building was going at
one time and also the Steiner building.
The firemen did some fine work in pre-
venting the Harrison building from
burning"
E. Lesser, proprietor of the Metropoli-
tan Hotel, stated that the firemen worked
valiantly, and that the loss would have
been many times greater but for the
conduct of the department.

Chief Mullin stated yesterday:
THAT was one of the hercest fires that

had ever occurred hold in the Harrison

saving taat building, and the entire de-
partment did suburb work in stopping the
flames where they did. 1t was one of
the hardest and most dangerous fights
we have had in Birmingham in many
years. and we were fortunate to say the
least in holding it to the buildings which
were burned
Policeman Whitney.
Policeman Frank Whitney, who turned
in one of the alarms. said that the fire
originated in the northern end OF the
Franklin Produce company's place and
that when he first saw it at about seven
minutes to l o'clock, there were only e
few wreaths of smoke coming from Inc
windows. By the time he had turned IN
the alarm and the apparatus mad ar
rived. he states that both the produce
store and the Garry store were in flames.
He said that although he had been IN
the fire department many years ne nad
never seen a fire spread as rapidly.

Mayor Drennen kept In constant toucn

Hope Was Abandoned.

At one time Chief Mullin gave up all
hope of being able to check the flames,
and he sent instructions to the occupants
of the buildings between the fire and
Twentieth street to prepare to move their
valuables. The American Trust and
Savings bank occupies the old National
Bank building at the Twentieth street
corner.
The wind was blowing little short of a
gale and sparks were carried hundreds
of feet into the air and the roofs of
houses and the streets for several blocks
northwest of the fire were strewn with
cinders. But for rain and sleet other
places would certainly have caught and
the fire department might have been
helpless to check the fire. Some of the
best business blocks in the city seemed
doomed.
