WHITE BEAVER Is
WITNESS FOR CODY
DR.. Powell Tells of Vain Efforts
to Bring Reconciliation
About

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Feb. 1S.-With
the exception of two or three witnesses
yet to come, the hearing of evidence
for Col. William F. Cody Buffalo BID
in his suit for divorce was closed to-
day.
DR.. d. Frank Powell (White Beaver),
of st. Paul, manager of Col. Cody's in
terests in Northern Wyoming. was the
principal witness for the plaintiff to-
day. He testified that he had known
Cody thirty-six years and Mrs. Cody
thirty-five years. AT the time of the
death of Mrs. Arta Thorpes, Col and
Mrs. Cody's daughter, last year, DR..
Powell met the Cody party at Chicago
and accompanied them to Rochester,
n. Y. While at Rochester Col. Cody
requested DR.. Powell 10 see Mrs. Cody
and try to effect a reconciliation. With
this object in view the witness called
on Mrs. Cody. After he had explained
his errand, ne said, Mrs. Cody exclaim-
ed angrily:
Il don't want anything to do with
any one from Col. Cody. 1 will bring
those Codys down so low that even the
dogs won't bark at them. and further
more, / will this day denounce him at
the grave of his own daughter"
Cody appeared crushed at the fall
ure of the negotiations, as he appar-
emily was sincere in desiring a recon-
ciliation,' said the witness.
On cross-examination DIR. Powell
admitted that Cody had telegraphed 10
Mrs. Cody at Denver when the news
of Mrs. Thorpes' death had reached
him, asking for temporary truce dur
Ing the funeral. and that Mrs. Cody
had wired back that only permanent
reconciliation would be agreed to by
her. This telegram was not answered
by Col. Cody.
For the defense, Maj. Lester Walker.
ex-mayor of North Platte, Neb., and
an intimate friend of Col. and Mrs.
Cody for almost forty years, was call
ed. He declared he had never observ-
ed Mrs. Cody show the slightest act
OF discourtesy toward her husband or
her husbands guests.
'She always prepared entertain
ments when she knew he was coming
home with guests" said the witness. In
refutation of the testimony on behalf
of the plaintiff, that Col, Cody sought
a reconciliation, but that Mrs. Cody
refused to accede to this, 1t was
brought out by Maj. Walker that he
saw Mrs. Cody just after she received
the news of the death of her daughter,
and Mrs. Cody said to him: II am in
hopes the death of our darling will be
the cause of bringing about a recon-
ciliation between myself and the colo
mel"
Fifteen letters from Col. Cody to
his wife were read. They were written
in 1900 and 1901, at time when il was
stated strained relations existed. The
letters were overfiowing with affection
and esteem, and showed at that time
Col. Cody had the greatest respect for
his wife's business ability. The attor-
neys for Col. Cody received a severe
rebuke from Judge Scott for permitting
such evidence as their witness, Mrs.
Parker, gave yesterday, duplicating
women of the highest reputation in
this country as well as abroad.
THE answers of Mrs. Parker" said
the court, "are manifestly unjust, pre-
posterous, false and brutal, and they
will be expunged from the records"

CHICAGO, Feb. 1S.-Tonight at the
banquet of the Merchants club the
chief speakers We're Gov. John A. john
son, of Minnesota, and Gov. A. b. Cum
minis, of Iowa. Gov. Johnson chose for
the subject of his address CONNER
cial and Political Integrity" He dealt
largely with the subject of railroad
transportation. His speech was as fol-
lows:
Not cince the days leading up to the
abolition of slavery has there been such
political Awakening in city, state and
nation as at the present time. For half
century the republic had been lulled to
sense of security and rest. Weary after
four years of civil war; the nation slum-
bered in peace Reconstruction was un-
dertaken and accomplished. The people
prospered and the republic grew. The
great ship of state drifted on the tide of
prosperity. Suddenly through the mist,
officers, crew and passengers heard the
warning sound of breakers on the reefs

the heart beat Of the people is running
this craft
For the first time in a half century the
nation is startled by the news that
political revolution has taken place and
that 1t Is without a parallel i'm American
history. The old Bay state, casting its
vote for the presidential candidate of one
party, elects for its governor a champion
of the people, nominated by the opposi-
tion party. Missouri elects Folk and then
casts its presidential vote for a man of
different political complexion. In your
own state champion of human rights is
chosen as the chief executive. In my
own beloved state the anomaly appears of
the people choosing a Democrat as gov
ernor in a presidential year, when they
give a 100000 plurality or more to Presi-
dent Theodore Roosevelt.
You ask the cause of these anomalies.

comes the answer, the people are smart

Seventh street, was brutally murdered

He was beaten and chopped almost

thirty wounds being found on his head
and body. ten of which singly would
have proved fatal.
The murderer took the precaution of
fastening the door leading into the
shop frem Seventh street, but instead
of slipping bit of wood into the latch,
as might have been done with equal
efficacy, he drove large spike into the
woodwork of the door and secured it
in that fashion.
No witnesses either to the terrible
deed or to the escape of the murderer
have been found, and the members of
the police department are busy run
ming down the connections of the dead
man which might possibly develop a
clew or a motive.
Gerenz Finds the Body
The body of Schindeldecker was
found at 12:45 by Walter Gerenz, a
SONShs VIM was ny lnC meat
man as an assistant about the shop
Gerenz took his midday meal at the
home of Schindeldecker, 41S Superior
street, leaving his employer at the
store alive and well at IL o'clock, and
as far as could be learned was the last
person to see him alive prior to the
entrance of the murderer.
Gerenz found the front door of the
shop fastened when he sought to re-
turn to work, and, thinking his en-
ployer had stepped out for a moment,
went around to the rear and pushed
open the door leading in from Banfil
street. He was horror stricken to find
the body of Schindeldecker lying in
pool of blood, covered with savage
wounds.
The young man rushed away from
the scene, and meeting William +.
Rohland son of Aid. o. w. Rohland,
Historically informed him that Schin-
deldecker had killed himself. Rohland
and Gerenz hurried to the nearest tele-
phone and the police were informed
that a suicide had occurred. On ac-
count of the nature of the call no de-
tectives were detailed on the case inn
mediately, but DR.. ]. NJ. Moore, police
surgeon, accompanied the ambulance
that was hurried to the scene.
Or. Moore Reports Murder
DR.. Moore found that murder had
been committed and at once notified
police headquarters of the fact.
Chief of Police OConnor rushed sew
eral detectives to the meat shop and
took personal charge of the case.
The detectives found that the mur-
derer must have watched his oppor
tunity when street cars and pedes
trians were absent for the moment and
slipped into the store.
According to the evidence discovered
by the police the butcher was sum-
moned from behind his counter by the
murderer and asked to put up a pack
age of eggs. The supply of eggs stood
about eight feet away from the dis
play table of the shop. From the marks

BITTER BITTEN BY EXPOSURE
Police and Marked Bills Contribute to

NEWARK, N. j., May 5.-The police
here tell tale which is somewhat un-
unual. 1t is charged that man regis
tered at the Kensington hotel under
the name of wv. B. Mosely," and ad-
vertised that he was able to obtain for
applicants lucrative positions in fed
eral departments, and would do so for
a bonus.
A Pennsylvania man who had been
nipped in such trap appealed to the
police to aid in trapping Mosley, and
two policemen in uniform were detail
ed. The Pennsylvania stationed one
at the front and one at the rear en-
trance to the hotel, and then called
on Mosley and gave MIN $100 in mark
ed bills for mis- influence" Mosley
caught sight of the police guards, ex-
cused himself and went to his room.
A half hour later when Mosley did
not return, search was made for him,
and it was discovered that he had es-
capped by a rear fire escape, and eluded
the police. The police are now look
ing for the marked money.

Railroads Have Achieved What coun.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-The rail-
roads have achieved what to the coun-
try will seem to be impossible. They
have changed the sentiment of the
senate committee on interstate COM
merce to an extent hardly expected be-
fore the hearing began two weeks ago.
The result of the testimony has been
this: 1t convinced the committee that
rates are not SO generally exhorbitant
as has been reported. They are held
down by water competition, by COM
petition between roads and other con-
ditions
This will be good news to the coun-
try. 1t shows how effective have been
the arguments of the railroad agents.
Members of the committee are also
of the opinion that it would be unwise
to recommend the passage of the Esch-
Townsend bill, which was rushed
through the house during the last ses-
sion of congress. That bill, this COM
mittee has been shown, simply author
ICES the interstate commerce commits

1t doesn't prevent rebates or unjust

The committee has no doubt as to
the power of congress under the con-
Stitution to authorize the insterstats

to fix rates. The attorney general is
it's adviser in this respect. Its oppo-
sition to any measure which will en-
