CHARGED WITH PERJURY.
Mother and Daughter Have Conspir.
 acy Lodged Against Them.

Chicago, July Mrs Matilda Ben der and her daughter, Marie, have been arrested on charges of perjury and conspiracy in connection with their attempt to secure for Charlotte Bender a widows share in the estate of the late Colonel George T. Cline. The es- tate for which the Renders were fight ing is valued at almost $2,OO0,OOO.
 The story which was told to Judge Cutting by Mrs Bender and her daugh- ter some months ago hangs on their contention that Robert Cline, now dead, and the dead millionaire were one and the same person. They de- clared that while posing as Robert Cline, cattle buyer, from Texas he married Charlotte Bender.
 During the proceedings before Judge Cutting and later before the grand jury the supposed widow of the mil lionaire did not appear to testify, her mother and sister saying that she was being confined in an insane asylum.
 Judge Cutting refused to recognize the claims of Charlotte Bender, and recommended that the grand jury in- vestigate the case. AS the result the mother and sister of the claimant were indicted and the indictments kept secret until their arrest.

IMPORTANT DECISIONS.
Judge Case Handed Down Some that
 Interest Waterbury.

New Haven, July Two decisions in the case of Miss Susan Bronson of Waterbury against Judge Samuel l. Bronson of this city were given by Judge Case in the superior court here to-day. They were incident in the ef' fort of the plaintiff to secure from the defendant an accounting of her estate of which he has had charge for ten years and the value of which is placed at S5SO,OOO.
 The first motion was made by the plaintiffs attorneys and was to strike off the case from the jury docket where it had been placed by the defendants attorneys. This was granted and the suit will be heard by the court.
 The second motion was made by the plaintiffs counsel to strike out that portion of the defendants answer which referred to J. Hobart Bronson of Waterbury, nephew of the plain tiff. as being the instigator of the suit. The plaintiffs counsel claimed that this was a scandalous reference. The court denied this motion and the an- swer must stand.

 May be Enlisted.

Chicago, July "A spread of the teamsters strike to baggage and parcel companies was possible to-day as a re- suit of the action of the teamsters joint council in directing all baggage and parcel delivery drivers to refuse to make deliveries to strike bound con cerns. While the joint council was in session the department store drivers union voted overwhelmingly to con tinue the strike indefinitely.
 Action concerning deliveries by the express companies was taken as q re- suit of the announcement by Judge Holdom that he would issue injunc- tions today against six concerns, com pelled them to deliver goods to struck houses.
 Although the express companies had been endea voring 10 prevent clash with their drivers. it was believed they could not avoid asking them to make deliveries to strike bound firms The firms that would be affected by the In- junction employ about 450 drivers.
 The joint council also decided to send out 2.0c0 strikers to-day to com pell union teamsters at work to make contributions to the strike fund.

Boiler Inspector Dis-
 covered Crack.
De feet Similar to One Which Led to Explosion and Great Loss of Life at a Brockten Factory.

East Hampton, Conn. July IA boil CT explosion which in its consequences mlght have equalled the Brockton shoe factory disaster has been prevented by the discovery just made by an lnsur- ance inspector of two inch crack in the boiler at the plant of the Summit Inread company here. The crack which, was just under a lap seam in the plates was disclosed when water pressure was applied by the inspector. It was evidently of recent origin as frequent inspections made in the past had not revealed any trouble with the boiler The inspector said the defect was very similar to that which is SUD- posed to have led to the Brockton hor TOT. and that the boilers were similar in kind, both being 72-inch ones. The Summit Thread company's boiler is of 100 horse power, and was valued at $l,SOO. It will be thrown on the scrap heap, and new one installed.

Berlin. July 1.-The imperial super visory office for private insurance com pany's has demanded of the Equitable Assurance Society and Mutual Life In- surance company of New York that they declare by August 1 in what man. ner they propose separating their premium reserves on German policies from the general reserves and how they intend to invest them. The amounts affected are s1.JOo.Op in the case of the Equitable and sj.2JO.Opo in the case of the Mutual. The steps taken have no connection seemingly with the present Equitable develop ment. but are taken with the view of carrying out the provisions of the German insurance law of 1901.

CREW OF THE kNIAZ
 POTEnKINE ESCAPED.
The Black Sea Fleet is Pursuing the hutinous Vessel The kniaz Coaled From British Vessei-Ru ssan Refugees Going to Odessa Had to be Put in Irons

St Petersburg, July 1.-The Kniaz Potemkine escaped from YheodOsia be. fore the Black sea fleet arrived there from Sebastopol. and as the fleet did not put in to Theodosia it is presumed the warships are in pursuit of the kniaZ POtemkine. But the advices re- ceived by the admiralty are meagre and most conflicting. It is considered possible that Ensign and Quartermas- ter Alexieff, who commands the Kniaz Potcmkine, was advised of the fleets coming and left Theodosia At any rate it is clear that she coaled from a British ship which she subsequently released and then sailed away. The re- ports as to the direction taken by the kniaz Potemkine do not agree. Ad- miral Wirenius, chief of the general staff of the navy, informed the Asso- ciated Press correspondent that one re- port said she had sailed westward in the direction of Livadia, raising the suspicion that it is the intention of her crew to lombard the emperor's summer palace. Another rumOr said when the Kniaz Potemkine was last seen she was headed southeast as if bound for the Caucasus littoral. This subsequently, was supplemented by report from Sebastopol that the Kniaz POtemkine had put into Tuapse half way to Poti and had been captured in some mysterious fashion by soldiers.
 The torpedo boat destroyer Smetilvy, manned by crew of officers and blue jackets wffo volunteered to sink the mutneer, reached Theodosia several hours after the Kniaz Potemkine had departed and after hurriedly coaling the Smetilvy put to sea presumably in pursuit of the rebel battleship.

AFTER FORGERS.
Detectives Say That Punish. ment Given Them is
 On Increase.

New York, July That the punish ment for forgery meted out in court sentences is increasing is the opinion of the detectives for the American Banks association in report made by James R. Branch, secretary of the as sociation, covering bank robbefies and fcrgeries since September l, 1904. Since May 31 alone six professional forgers have been sentenced to a total of 32 years 9 months imprisonment, which is an average of five years and five months each. Since September l, 1904, the association has secured the arrest of P special cases of forgers of which II were convicted and the ar rest of 49 general case1. of which 25 were convicted. Of burglars and hold up robbers. 63 have been arrested and 32 convicted. This amounts to convic- ton in half of all bank robberies and fOrgeries where arrests were made.
 Ninety-nine banks have been attack ed during this ten months period, of which only seventeen were members of the bankers association.

ROOT ACCEPTS.
Will Take Oath of Office Soon..Will Go to Wash.
 ton in September.

Oyster Bay, July 7.-Elihu Root has | accepted the tender by the president of the secretaryship of state. He will take the oath of office in couple of weeks, but it will necessarily be some little time before he closes up his busi- ness affairs. He will not go to Wash ingtOn permanently until some time in September.
 President Roosevelt is much grati- fled at Mir Roots acceptance and Is deeply sensible of the personal sacri- fees made by Mir Root in again taking up the burdens and duties of a mem- Der of the cabinet.
 The decision of Mir Root was reached finally on the presidents special train during the return of the presidential party from Cleveland. For personal reasons entertained both by the presi- dent and by Mir Root it was deemed desirable not to announce the decision publicly until the president had re- turned to Sagamore Hill. It was de- termined, therefore, that the official statement of the presidents tender and Mir Roots decision to accept it would be made to-day.
 It is the intention of Mir Root to as- sume the duties of secretary of state practically at once although it will be perhaps two weeks before he formally will take the oath of office. His pro- fessional interests are so large that he will have, to devote considerable time to satisfactory arrangement of them before he goes to Washington to take permanent charge of the state department. .a.
 When he takes active charge of the department he will give up entirely his law practice.
