BROWN FOUND GUILTY.
Former Kansas Legislator Is Con-
fronted by a Term in Jail.

Chicago. Nov. 4-William Eugene
Brown, a former Kansan, was found
guilty by a jury in Judge McEwen's
court today on a charge of subornation
of perjury. Browns trial has been on
for more than a week and he conduct
ed his own defense. Assistant States
Attorney James Barbour prosecuted
the case.
Brown was accused of having offer
ed $500 to Detective Charles Hass to
testify in a case that certain William
Boulton had been employed by Brown
and that Boulton had left Chicago.
Hass instead of giving such evidence
went before Justice Underwood where
Brown was appearing in a case and
exposed the alleged offer of $200
After the jury returned a verdict of
guilty against Brown he was remand
ed by Judge McEwen for sentence.
While Browns trial was going on
before Judge McEwen he was dis
barred from practice in the courts of
court on an action brought by the Chi
cago Bar association.
Mr. Brown achieved some fame in
Kansas in 1880 by being elected to the
house of representative from the
Eighty-third district which then COM
prised Harvey county, on the Republi-
can ticket. He was one of the few
RepuDIlcanS elected 10 Lf1at house that
year from the central part of the state
Al that time he was 81 years ed and
had established a reputation OF some
bTilliancy as a lawyer. He lived at
Newton and one of his legal feats,
which obtained him much notoriety
was the chartering of a special train
4 to transport a United States marshal
from Topeka to Newton for the pur-
( pose of securing an attachment on a
/ large stock Of goods.
Mr. Brown only served one term in
, the Kansas legislature, and few
/ years after this service he left Kansas
/ to make his home in Chicago, where
/ he has been practieing law with CON
! siderable success until this case against
him was developed. He was born in
! KokomO. Howard county. Indiana, and
4 acquired an academic education in the
class OF which Senator Chester I. Iona
was a member. He removed from In
/ diana to Kansas in 1871 and he first
took the stump as a campaign speaker
/ for the Republican party in 1886 wher
4 he was only = years old. Mr. Brown
/ is a married man and had two youna
! daughters when he lived in Kansas.

KNOX GETS INTO LINE.
Pennsylvania senator Comes Out for
Rate Regulation.

Pittsburg, Nov. 4.-President Roosevelt
has gained another able chamoion of
railroad rate legislation in the person Of
Senator Phflander c. Knox, who in an
address to the Chamber of Commeree
here proclaimed himself in favor Of a
simple law that would cure the rate evil.
The senator is looked upon as one Of the
ablest constitutional lawyers in the coun-
try. He was attorney general OF the
United States and previous to that ser
ice he was a leading legal counselor OF
)ne Of the great eastern trunk lines.
There is no railroad In the United
States that can be IN the slightest degrees
affected by legislation giving relief from
unreasonable rates and practices unless it
is guilty Of unreasonable and unjust
practices" are the senator's words.
Senator Knox stated also that It IS
mistake to assume that ''the best rail-
road conscience in the country approves
the extravagant propaganda now being
carried on to convince the public that
any regulative legislation would be un-
Just to the railroads.
Senator Knox is the fourth United
States senator who within the last few
weeks has announced himself in line with
the president in this matter. The other
three are Senators Cullom OF Illinois,
Warner of Missouri and DOlIiver Of
Iowa

WORLDS EYES ON HIM.
That Is What Witte Told the Em-
perOr of Russia.

perOr OF Russia.
London, Nov. Alarming as are the
events of the week in Russia it is not
believed in London or Paris that the
imperial government will be over
thrown; and the statement that En-
peror William stands ready to use the
German army to secure the safety Of
the Romanoffs is considered quite sup
erf1u0us in Berlin
There is no serious doubt of the low
atty of the Russian army 10 the throne
and the troops have been persuaded
that in the conflict with Japan the re-
suit was drawn.
More important from an internation-
al view point is the bearing of the do
nestle dissenslons upon Russia's fnan-
cial position.
1t is now known that the concessions
wrung by Witte from Nicholas were
not made until the minister had de-
clared in an 1mpassiOned speech to the
car that it was not Russia but the
opinion Of the world outside with
which his majesty should concern him

Profundly moved by the outburst
Nicholas exclaimed:

ruling"
Pardon me. sire was the reply Of
Witte. you will begin to be ruler
worthy of the Twentieth century and
of modern civilization.

The Minority Rule.

{; OF the Bailey-McDonald ring
because they won the municipal
election Tuesday.
But did they?
There are indications that they
stole something-but that they
won nothing except additional
reputation for thievery.
There we're 769 votes cast for
mayor at last Tuesdays election.
Bemidji's population in June,
four months ago was $500, and
it is a mathematical impossibillty
that a town of $500 people should
cast more than $50 legal votes, if
every vote we're recorded
which it meyer is. At the charter
election $50 votes we're cast
and the town was thoroughly
com bed for voters An exceed
ingly liberal estimate is that 100
legal voters were then temper
arily working in the harvest
fields Of the Dakotas. It is
hardly possible, therefore, that
more than 625 legal votes can be
cast in Bemidji. ..
Su attracting 625 legal votes
from the 769 votes cast, we have
an illegal vote of at least IA, and
and no disinterested person who
stood at the third and fourth
ward polls last Tuesday could
for moment doubt that fully
that number of illegal votes were
recorded in these two wards. |
These men voted for Mr.. Carter
for mayor-they were pulled
coaxed and driven to the polls by
the Carter workers. When ques-
toned by the judges many of
them attempted to sink away
and were actually showed back
by the Carter supporters and
compelled to vote!
Until expelled from the room
by the judges County Attorney
Mcdonald stood with one foot
over the judges railing and open
ly encouraged Illegal voters to
demand the right of SUFFRAGE,
broadly limiting that he was
county attorney and that Mayor
Henderson who issued warning
to illegal voters, was powerless,
to prosecute.
Reducing our figures to round
numbers there is every evidence
that no less than lao illegal votes
were cast Tuesday for Mr..
Carter. Had the votes of none
but the actual residents of Be-
midi been recorded instead of
Mr.. Carter being elected by
majority of II, Mr.. Gibbons
would have carried the city by a
majority of over 50.
When Mr.. Carter takes the
oath Of Office next Tuesday, he
will be mayor of Bemidji by the
will Of the minority. The majority

Mosby had been a student in the
University Of Virginia, where he shot
and seriously wounded FELLOWSHIP
dent who had insulted him. For this
he was imprisoned and fined. The
Legislature RENTED his fine and the
Governor released him. Mosby's graf
itude to the State of Virginia for this
was almost fantastic. 1t was charac-
istic Of him that he never forgot a
favor.
Mosby aided General Joseph Johns
ton upon the Manassas operations in
the Shenandoah. At the expiration of
the twelve months enlistment Mosby
was one of the two men, the only men
in the army. who We're willing to re-
enlist without n furlough.
At the close of the war Grant ex-
tended a pardon to Mosby's men.
When Grant ran for the presidency
his most ardent partisan was Mosby.
He incurred the dislike Of the South
because Of his attempts to aid Grant
in his measures toward the South. But
Mosby would accept no favors from
the Northern government. He fought
for what he had thought right, and not
for reward.
