ing the interview and their determin-
alton to bring before the throne their
grievances. In doing this, he said.
they had only done their duty, honest
ly and conscientiously. He charged
them to thank their comrades In his
name for their confidence with which
they had turned to their emperor in
the hour of their need and intimated
that it was his intention to visit the
works in the near future.
After the audience the delegates
were entertained at dinner by sew
eral high court officials and later they
were shown around the palace and
its various buildings.
1t is stated upon good authority that
all the workers of the printing depart
ment are satisfied with the result OF
the audience and feel certain that the
czar will grant all reasonable conces-
sions. The same eIement, however,
which characterized the recent visit
of another workingmen's delegation
at the palace as unrepresentative Is
dissatisfied with Fridays event and
claims that the deputation was neither
authorized to speak for the strikers
nor had 1t secured single promise
which would warrant the hope of
general amelioration of the condition
of the workers.

and Read an Interesting Re-
port on Cases.

The Canton Medical society held a
meeting last night at which the old
Bell telephone war threatened to
break out afresh. Dr. G. e. Fraun-
felter and two other medics had ap-
piled for membership and their names
had been turned over to the censors
for recommendation. The censors
recommended that the two be admit
ted, but that DR.. Fraunfelter's name
be held over for another month for
investigation. DR.. Harry March OBJ
jected to this and on his motion the
three names were received. 1t is said
that the reason for this attempted ac-
tion was that the young mans father.
DR.. James Fraunfelter, had some time
ago put Bell telephone in his Of

Kansas City, Mo-, Feb. S.-"If you
won't tell any one my name I'll pay
for coal for any families in the city
that are too poor to buy it. Have
the bills sent to me and I'll pay them"
The foregoing was the way gen.
erous man talked to Chief of Police
Hayes today. Nothing could induce
him to allow his identity to be dis
closed.
"I want to help the needy in time
like this, Chief" he said in parting,
but | don't want to be imposed
upon"
Chief Hayes at once issued bulle-
tin which was sent TO every police
station in the city instructing police
men to investigate the condition OF
any family living in their respective
districts whom they might think
worthy of assistance.
Several families have already been
supplied with coal and all the worthy
poor will be treated in a like man
ner as fast as they apply for aid.

The czar questioned each of his
visitors personally and in manner
which plainly showed his desire to
find out for himself whether the griev-

defiance of the authority of the gov

working hours and the number of
years they have spen; in the employ

Impeachment OF JUDGE SWAYNE
Trial Will Begin on February l0-.-Categorica De-
NAL of Every ArtiCe---CiteS Actions of
Other Federal Judges.
THE SENATE ADOPTS A PLAN OF PROCEDURE

Washington, Feb. 3.-The trial OF
Charles Swayne, Judge for the north
ern district of Florida, on the twelve
articles of impeachment passed by
the house of representatives, will be-
gin at 2'o'clock on February 10.
The United States Senate, sitting as
a court of impeachment this after
noon, so decided. Today's session was
devoted to hearing the formal answer
to the charges. Judge Swayne was
not present, but the unusual formality
connected with the proceedings proved
highly interesting to the crowded gal
leries.
Chairs and tables were placed inside
of the bar of the senate for Swayne5
counsel and for the house managers.
The palatial marble room adjoining
the chamber had been arranged as a
jury consultation room, where the
senate as a body might retire and
deliberate upon some disputed point,
thus avoiding the hardship of repeat
edly ordering the galleries cleared and
the doors closed.
A plan of procedure for future sit
tings of the court YVES laid down, by
which there are to be no colloquoys
between senators or between the house
managers and senators.
The managers and senators must adj
dress all remarks to the presiding Of
ficer, and in case 1t is SO requested
20 hn t,roL
sent their questions in writing.
In his answer Judge -Swayne cate
gorically denied each and every one
| Of the articles of impeachment, de-
claring in addition that even IL they
| were true, they still did not consti-
tute misdemeanors. He denied that his
expense claim of $40 day while out
side of his district, was false and that
he made 1t knowing of its falseness
He declared that he believed the law
under which he made such claim was
intended to allow the maximum oi
! $40 day as fixed and a definite al
lowance, as a reasonable compensation
for. such outside duty and he honestly
I and conscientiously made such 9
charge.
AS proof that this construction Of
the law was proper, the answer de
clared- that the records of the. auditor
of the treasury department show that
other district judges throughout the
United tates have made the same ex.
pense claim of $40 day. Copies OF
such certificates from the judges Of

GENERAL AtARM
FOR MURDERER

FOR GEORGE. WOOD.
He Is Suspected Of the Murder Of
Grocer Williams at PIainfield,
New Jersey.

Plainfield, N. j: Feb. 3.-Chief Of
Police Kelley, who has been person
ally investigating the mysterious
shooting of George Williams, the
gell-to-do grocer of this town, has
sent out a general alarm for the ar
rest of George II. Wood, sub-con-
tractor for the Eagle Iron works of
536 West One Hundred and Thirty
first street, New York city. Woods
movements have been traced since
Monday afternoon when he registered
in his own name at the Farmers Ho-
tel until he left town. The descrip-
tion of the man seen boarding the
$3.50 train for New York at the Mil
lington station of the Lackawanna
railroad is alleged to tally in many
details with that Of Mr. Wood.
The room which was occupied by
Wood ut the Farmers Hotel was brok-
en- into this afternoon. A dress suit
case was found containing box of
32-calibre cartridges and three empty
shells. The bullet wound which caus-
ed the death of Williams was infict-
ed with 32- calibre revolver.
New York, Feb. 3.-Upon informa-
ton received from Chief of Police
Kelley of Plainfeld. Acting Inspector
Stephen O'Brien sent out a general
description of-George II. Wood to
every police captain under his COM
mand. The captains in turn notified
the several thousand policemen of the
city of the order for Woods arrest.
Inspector O'Brien also detailed all
available detectives on the case and
IT is believed that the man will be ar
| rested within "a hours.
Detectives visited Woods home
536 West One Hundred and Thirty
first street today but found no one
at home. The detectives learned, how
! ever. from neighbors, that Wood, with
his wife left home on Sunday last
/ A nephew of Wood, Edwin l.. Pol
lock, Sas seen today. Mr. Pollock
when informed Of the suspicion being
cast on. his uncle, said that he was in
capable of having committed such a
crime. When asked If his uncle was
acquainted with the murdered man
Pollock said he was not sure. HI
said. however, that the last time hi
heard of his uncle was last Sunday
when he had received word that hi
visited his grandmother in Mount
Horeb, NJ ]. Mount Horeb is but 6
/ few miles from the scene Of the trag.
/ edy.
Facts in the murder have led the po-
lice to believe that the murder wa.
without motive and say that it was
evidently a wanton freak Of homicida
mania.
