erick R. Kribs for services rendered in,
it is alleged, inducing Congressman
Binger Hermann, then commissioners OF
the general land office at Washington,
to expedite, make special and approve
certain applications for public lands
and recommend the issuing of patents
to the lands.
The indictment against Senator
Brownell charges that Mr.. Brownel
caused Fred Sievers and John Rowland
to swear falsely that certain field notes
in connection with the survey of public
lands in eastern Oregon were true.
Charges Against Mitchell.
Specifically, the indictment against
Senator Mitchell recites that Kribs was
engaged in the business of procuring
and aiding persons in making applica-
ton to purchase tracts of land in the
Roseburg land district in this state and
also aiding them to secure the land by
means of alleged false statements that
they were not applying for them on
speculation.
After going on to say that the ser
vices of Congressman Hermann, as
commissioner Of the general land Of
flee were necessary in having the APP
plications expedited and having the
patents issued, the indictment says
that Frederick r. Kribs contracted for
the services of John H. Mitchell and
A. H. Tanner, law partners, and a.
greed to pay them for services rendered
in any part by Mr.. Mitchell appearing
before and persuading Binger Her
mann, commissioner of the general
land office, to make special, expedite
and approve the applications and
claims and recommend the issuance Of
patents on them as tho they were law
full and bona fide applications and
claims.
The indictment states that the Uni
ted States government was directly in
terested in these latter, and that the
services were to be performed by Mr.
Mitchell while senator Of this state.
The indictment then makes the charg-
es that in consideration Of these SER
vices Kribs gave Mitchell two checks
for $500 each on a Roseburg, Oregon,
bank on February 10, 1902; two checks
on the same bank on June IA, 1902, for
$1,000 each; one check on September
20, 1902 for $500; one check on Janu-
airy 4, 1904, for $500; and one check
on October s, 1904.

SAVED IN ENVY; DIED MlsER.
Loring F. Fletcher Accumulated
Wealth and Wife Starved.

Loring F. Fletcher Accumulated
Wealth and Wife Starved.
Norwich, n. Y, Feb. "A half CEN
fury ago, when Loring F. Fletcher was
married, he became aggrieved at what
he thought snobbish attitude on the
part of some of his relatives who had
been more successful financially.
Il can save as well as you can"
said Fletcher, and thenceforth he lived
as another man.
Estranging himself from all relatives,
except his wife, he set out to accumu-
late sufficient wealth to some day sheer
at his relatives. Liberal as he had
been as a sutton, Fletcher adopted mi
serly tactics as husband. The diet
on which he and his wife lived for
forty years is said he have been bread
and milk, and potatoes day after day.
When his wife would complain, Flet-
cher would reiterate his vow to save.
Ten years ago Fletcher's wife died
and the residents of Norwich pro-
nounced the womans death due to
starvation.
The other day Fletcher died himself
and the same relatives whom he sought
to surpass in financial possession came
here to look after his estate. In an
old trunk was found $4,000 in cash and
gild- ledge securities

Swear Judqe Was Drunk,

Duluth, Mimi, Feb. Judge Vivian
Prince of the municipal court of Eve
leth, is on trial in the district court on
the charge of drunkenness. The charge
is made that on July 9, 1904, he enter
ed his court room in state of intox-
ication.
Two attorneys, F. L. Damon and N.
B. Arnold, testified that they saw the
defendant on the day in question and
that he was in no condition to conduct
his business. At the close of the cross
examination the state rested, and Miss
Sadie Murphy Judge Princes stem
ographer, said that her employer was
perfectly sober on the day in question,
and that she had never heard of him
drinking to excess.
Judge Prince took the stand and
sought to prove that there was no word
of truth in the charges against him.

EFFECT ON STOCK MARKET.
Big Shipper Declares Railroad Shares
Would Not Fall.

VOuIQ lNOS dill
Washington, Feb. 2.-The senate
committee on interstate commerce
continued it's hearing on the sub
ject of railroad rate legislation. James
J. Hooker, chairman of the Receivers
and Shippers Association of Cincin-
natl, said that reduction Of rates was
not required but that a Encouragement
was demanded. He favored a readjust-
ment of rates to meet cases where GER
tain localities were Disseminated
against by giving to the interstate
commerce commissions full authority
to make such adjustments. The pas
sage of the Esch-T Townsend bill was
advocated by Mr. Hooker.
Chairman Elkins asked: what
would you do if all your money was
tied up in railroad stock, if some other
man had the power to fix the rates of
your road?"
You are asking hypothetical
question:" said Mr.. Hooker.
mo, am not. I know men who
own two-thirds of the stock of a rail-
road, half of the stock and one-fourth
of the stock. If you were in the posi-
ton of these men, would you hold on to
Lie SlOSh VI NoQAo yOu oC1l: dohC0
Senator Elkins.
There will be no panic in the stock
as the result Of the passage of the
bill,' said Mr.. Hooker. "These men
would hold onto their stock and see
how the matter worked out. If unsat-
isfactory they would depend upon fur
Their amendments or a repeal Of the
law"
E. M. Ferguson, of Duluth, Mimi,
will continue his statement to commit

Washington, Feb. 2.-The postoffice
appropriation bill occupied the atten-
ton of the house the major portion of

mail facilities on trunk lines cropped

RICHEST GIRL in TOWN ELoPEs.

Daughter of Wealthiest Man in a
Pennsylvania City WEEDS.
Reading, Pa, Feb. /. 1t is made
known today that Miss Isabella Dives,
only daughter of the wealthiest man
in Reading, eloped ON December IL
with Charles Clark. a lawyer of Orange,
n. j. MIR. Clark frequently visited
Miss Dives in her home, and the at
to the family.
About three weeks ago Mr.. Dives
decided to send his daughter west.
Whether this was for the purpose OF
parting her and Clark is not known, al
tho it is rumored that such was his
motive Miss Dives departed, osten-
sibly on her western tour, about De
cember is. A woman friend of the
family read in Il New York daily paper
an announcement of the marriage in a
town near New York. She went to the
Dives home and told of her discovery
Several days ago Mr.. and Mrs. Clark
sent announcements to a few friends
in this city.
Miss Dives was known as the veal
thiest girl in town." The bride is a
blonde, about 25 years of age. She is
the only daughter of j. l. Dives. of the
firm of Dives, Pomery e Stewart. who
are among the largest department store
owners in the central part of the state.
When asked if his daughter had been
married against his will Mr.. Dives
said: Don't ask me anything about
it. I will not discuss my daughters

of the proceedings in court 1t creates
court of transportation, which
deem unnecessary, but inasmuch as
this feature is likely to be included in
any bill which passes, l am gratitied to
see that terms OF this bill leave the
selection of the judges to the president
The bill is not clear as to whether
the question of the reasonableness Of
a rate established by the commission
shall be determined in the transporta-
ton court upon the evidence adduced
before the commission, or upon a trial
de novo before the court. If The lat
ter should be the construction given it,
1 am afraid it will defeat the very pur-
pose of the legislation. This defect, of
course, can readily be remedied.
1t is also deficient in emitting to
place private car lines, terminal roads
and other contrivances for discrimina-
ton under the ban of the law and sub
ject to control and regulation by the
commission. In view of the explicit
language of the president in his speech
at Philadelphia Monday night, it would
seem that the committee may feel
called upon to supplement the bill in
this respect.
Next to the Hearst bill. it is decided
ly the best bill brought forward at this
session. The Hearst bill is the only
bill that covers the ground in terse,
plain language, that cannot be miscon-
strued or evaded.
1t is understood that the house
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce will consider the bill at it's
ya-r ,1or Wi
back to the house perhaps on Saturday,
certainly not later than Monday. On
the latter day it is the purpose of the
committee on rules to submit rule for
its consideration, which will probably
limit debate to two days, and that
would bring the bill up for vote on
final passage about next Wednesday,.
Having passed the house. it will go to
the senate, where the chances are
strong that it will be buried.

EXCLUDE CLOTHES IN CASE.
Defense Wins a Point in Bedford,
Ind. Murder Hearing.

Defense Wins Point in Bedford,
Ind, Murder Hearing.
Bedford. Ind, Feb. 1.-Richard Hard
man. a teamster, yesterday testified IN
preliminary hearing of Frank Evans,
charged with the murder of Sarah
Shafer, that he saw Brewing buy box
of matches at the Bedford grocery the
night Browning and the Cook woman
drove to Holtonville as testified to by
the woman This evidence was to sup
port her evidence.
Henry Acton identified the blue coat
introduced in evidence as belonging to
Browning. He testified that he had
seen Browning at the Cook woman's
home many times before and since the
murder
The state made an effort to have
introduced as evidence against Brown
ing a blue suit of clothes, which was
laid on a desk before the court
Browning's attorneys objected, and
added that IL the states lawyers were
sincere they would bring into court the
man and woman whom Dude" Cook
had connected with the murder. The
objection to the admission of the cloth
ing was sustained.
Ell B. Stephenson, formerly deputy
prosecutor, who conducted the previous
investigation of the murder, testified
that he had refused the offer Of an
Indianapolis newspaper which agreed
to pay his expenses if he would inves-
tigate a clew in indianapolis.
Attorneys for the defense moved that
the case be dismissed because of insult
ficient evidence. The motion was over
ruled.
George Mcdaniel was the first wit
ness for the defense. He said that he
was present on December "a, when
Dude" Cook told Attorney Boruff
of Browning's alleged confession. He
said the woman did not mention Evans
as a party to the murder nor did she
speak Of having in her possession GER
tain blood stained clothing.
Attorney Underwood denied that
there was an agreement between
Dude" Cook and himself, stipulating
a division of the reward.
Randall Baker, Oval Evans, George
lamp, Alex Evans, j. w. Goodman j.
w. Moser and Perry Davis, the latter
barber, testified that Evans never

He Makes Some Scathing Com
ment on the Condition of
the Merchant Marine
WHERE AMERICANS FAILED
Admitting Our Supremacy in Every
Other Field of Enterprise, England
Gloats Over Our Weakness as
Trade Carrying Nation-subsidy Bill
Reported to the House.

Washington, Feb. I'm reporting to
The house the bill agreed on by the
merchant marine commission, with Ia
vorable recommendation from the
house committee on merchant marine
and fisheries, Chairman Grosvenor
makes some caustic comment on the
condition of American shipping. tie
saws that foreign shipping competitors
are scarcely rivals; they are "tri-
umphant enemies, triumphing over the
disaster that has come to American
enterprise and rejoicing in the utter in
ability of the American people to wise
ly expend their own money. AGAIN
he said: "This bill has stirred the
sluggish blood in our foreign compeu-
tors and they see in 1t danger to their
supremacy. Acknowledging our tri-
umphant rivalry in all branches OF
business and commerce with the eXcep-
ton of this one, England has gloated
over our weakness in this behalf. Eng
land does the carrying trade of South
America England handles the pro-
ducts of South American industries.
England crosses the mighty ocean and
carries away raw material that would
come to this country if we had ships
trading to South America"
Comment is made on the hundred
million dollar naval bill with the con-
clusion that mo other nation was ever
dominant on the sea in time of war
that was not strong on the sea In time
of peace in its merchant marine"
In conclusion the report says: I'VE
applaud the splendid achievements of
Japan on the sea and yet without her
merchant marine Japan would have
been powerless to have delivered the
overwhelming blow that she has upon
her adversary. England is mighty in
her war navy, because she is mighty in
her merchant marine. Russia presents
a singular contrast, and Russia is
weak in her merchant marine.
eff war should come today we have
not ten ships in our merchant marine
fit to be taken over by the government
for war purposes, and we could not
man with sufficient sailors one half
the battleships, cruisers, torpedo boats,
ETC., Of our splendid navy. The mer-
chant marine is hand maiden Of the
war navy, and no nation ever achieved
greatness in one direction which was
not strong in the other"

Madison, Wis, Feb. 1. - Architect
Cass Gilbert of st. Paul won the COM
petition for preparation of plans for
the new Wisconsin capitol building and
will be chosen to supervise the work Of
construction, which will begin during
the coming season. The plans are said
to resemble in many respects those
of the new Minnesota statehouse. 1t
is estimated that it can be completed
for about $5,000,000, but many believe
that the plans can not be executed for
less than $8,000,000 to $10.00O,0O0. The
plans of Koch & Son Of Milwaukee
were awarded second place and those
of Ferry & Clas of Milwaukee third.
The style of the accepted plans is
known as romantic.
The report of the commission was
presented to the legislature last night.
The first prize is $4,000. second $l,5Oo
and third is $1,000. The construction
will occupy term of eight or ten
years, the first parts to be built be-
ing those of the old building destroyed
by fire a year ago.
Takes Issue With LaFoIIette.
Burton Hanson of Chicago, general
solicitor of the ST. Paul company, de-
mics the truth of many statements con-
tanned in the recent message of Gov
ernor LaFollette and says that railroad
conditions are, on the whole, better In
Wisconsin, without railroad rate
commission, than In Illinois. Iowa ana
other commission states. In a PAM
phlet circulated yesterday he declares
that the railroads would invite ana
cooperate with any plan that can be
devised for the purpose of abolishing
rebates altogether; that the roads
would gladly do away with them.
