MARSHALL TRIAL
POSTPONED BECAUSE OF DEATH
OF A JURORS MOTHER
Probing Deep Into the Affairs Of an
Alleged Fraudulent Coal and
Coke Company.

Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. 9.-Owing to
the death of the mother of one of the
jurors sitting in the case of Arthur G..
Marshall, the alleged insurance swind-
Ter, the case was adjourned at the
conclusion of todays session until
Monday. During the day the common
wealth put on several of its star wit
nesses and incidentally went further
into the alleged shady financial meth
DDS of Marshall.
Harrison r. Snyder, a director in
the lockwood Brick & Coal Co., was
the first witness called. He was ask
ed by Attorney Frederick H. Kale, if
Marshall had ever told him what the
assets of the Pennsylvania Coal g.
Coke Co. were Attorney Blakely
Marshall's counsel objected.
After hearing an objection to this
question, Attorney Kahle told the
court he intended to prove that Mar
shall got half interest in the Rock
wood company by saying that he
owned 1000 acres of coal land in JEFF
ferson county, when he really did not
own any, and that Snyder can testi
fy of his personal knowledge concern
ing the value of the stock Of the
companies.
Attorney Kahle was directed to
make a specific offer as to what he
wished to prove.
Mr.. Kahle accordingly said that Mr.
Snyder is a director of the Pennsyl
vania Coal & Coke Co. at the present
time; that he has knowledge of the
affairs of this company and knows its
stock is worthless and has been eveI
since June 1904. After numerous OBJ
iections and much opposition from a
torneys for the defense, Mr.. Snyder
was allowed to testify that the Penn
sylvania Coal & Coke Co. had no as
sets In December 1904. He said fur
ther that the lockwood company new
er was operated by the coal and coke
company.
An attempt by Attorney Kahle Il
get in books showing the stock ac
count and salary account of the Nortf
American and Duquesne compan!
caused long wrangle among the at
| torneys, but the court finally admit
ted them as evidence.

ALICE GETS COSTLY GIFTS.
Presents Received by Miss Roosevelt
Aggregate 100000.

1t is estimated that the presents
which Miss Roosevelt has received
from the empress of China, the emper-
or of Japan, the emperor OF Korea, the
Sultan Of Jolo and others in the far
east will reach cash value not far
short of 100000
Miss Roosevelt was placed In posi-
ton where she could not decline any
OF the presents without giving offense.
The gifts came TO her as the represen-
tative Of the government, although she
did not travel with any such creden-
tials, AS the daughter of the Presi-
dent she was regarded by the orientals
as they regard the reigning families OF
European Kingdoms.
The gifts we're tokens Of friendship
and good will for the United States,
and Miss Roosevelt could not have de-
clined any, not even tho pearl from
the sultan OF Jolo, without placing this
government in the attitude OF rejecting
friendly overtures.

KICKED THE COUNT
OUT OF THE ROOM
THE ENRAGED AMERICAN DIDN'T
LIKE HIS SoN-lN.LAW
Story Of Repeated Demands for Mon
ey and the Unhappiness of the
Wife of the Titled For
eigner All Came ouf
In Court.

Detroit, Mich. Nov. 9.-The laws of
the state Of Michigan today formally
put an end to the welded life OF
Countess Louise May De Szillassy,
daughter of Colonel Frank ]. Hecker,
of this city, and Count Gyula Hope
Joseph De Szillassy formerly secretary
Of the Austrian legation at Washing
ton, and now resident of his native
land. The request for the annulment
Of the marriage came from the Count
ess. The Count made no effort to COM
bat the desire of his wife.
Our marriage life was very un-
happy-almost from the very first"
said the Countess in her testimony.
"The Count began Immediately mpor-
tuning me for large sums Of money
and when / failed to secure them his
treatment was 80 brutal that / was
compelled to send for my father to
take nfe away. Since then my father
has been the sole contributor to my
support and that Of my son."
Col. Hecker testified in corroboration
of the repeated demands which were
ulduc vi ulha loi uOhcy uhu lcidtcu
a stormy interview which took place
on his arrival at the De Szillassy cas-
tie, in response to his daughters ca
blegram. The American father and
the titled son-in-law were the princi-
pals and the proceedings ended by Col.
Hecker's unceremoniously kicking the
Count out OF the room.
In granting the divorce Judge Man
dell said
"The present unfortunate tragedy of
two worlds is another powerful in
stance of the almost inevitable un-
happiness that results from the we'd
ding of American blood with empty
title and glittering rank yet the mad
race for titles ON the one hand and
American wealth on the other, con-
tinues. 1t should be lesson to the
girls Of our country"
Col. Hecker was a warm friend OF
Secretary Alger and President McKin-
ley and recently served as a Panama
canal commissioner, He is the owner
Of the Detroit Free Press, and his
wealth is numbered at several mil
! lions.

ROOSEVELT CANAL
IS HOW CHAIRMAN sHoNTs RE-
FERs TO PANAMA DITCH
He Scores the "Hired Ananiasesr who
Have Declared the Canal Would
Not Be Built.

Washington, Nov. 9.-"We are build
ing the Roosevelt canal y" was the
dramatic declaration made tonight by
Theodore P. Shonts, chairman Of the
Isthmian canal commission to over
200 members of the American Hard
ware Manufacturers Association, in
the banquet hall of the New willard.
1t was the striking climax to a care
fully prepared address upon the work
| of the commission, delivered with an
unusual earnestness that became in
dignation when the speaker denounced
"the Industrious and voluble band of
hired Ananiases, moving to and fro
in the land" denying that the Panama
canal would be built.
| The speakers reference to the pres
ident and his big stick" policy, elicit
ed warm applause
| Mr.. Shonts declared that legisla-
tion other than that looking to police
and sanitation measures on the 18TH
mus, would seriously delay the COM
! pletion of the great waterway.
Il want to go on record here" he
said, "as saying that the application Of
! the eight-hour law; OF the contract
labor law; of the Chinese exclusion
act; or of anv other law passed, or
to be passed by congress for the ben
eft of American labor at home, to la
Dor on the Isthmus, is serious error.
Over so per cent of the employees of
the canal will be aliens. A majority
of the other 20 per cent employed will
ity. The application of these laws on
tho isthmus will benefit O very small
number of American laborers, but will
enormously add to the cost of construc-
ton, and American labor at home will
have to pay its share of the consequent
increase in taxation. AS business men
you will understand the force of this
statement"

SANTO DOMINGO
TREATY EXPECTED TO BE RATi.
FLED BY THE SENATE
The Treaty Ratifyine the Claims Of
Cuba to the Isle Of Pines Also
Likely to Be Approved.

Likely to Be Approved.
Washington, Nov. 9.-United States
Senator Shelby M. Cullom, of Illinois,
chairman of the senate committee on
foreign relations, told Secretary Root
today that he expected that the senate
would this winter ratify the pending
treaty with Santo Domingo, under the
terms of which the finances of that
republic would be administered by
United States officials in the interests
of American and foreign debtors. Sen
ator Cullom also expressed the opin-
ion that the Isle of Pines treaty would
be ratified, despite the opposition Of
some American investors there who
desired to have the island remain
American territory instead Of being
turned over to Cuba.
Senator Cullom also talked with the
secretary about complaints that he
has received from merchants in Cuba
about the growing laxity Of the Gu
bans in sanitary matters, regarding
which Cuba is under pledge to the
United States and the growth of anti
American sentiment.

allowed to go without inquiry into
reports which have been made in re
gard to the lavish entertainment of
legislators at the house, but will be
called again later. g.
The affairs of the Metropolitan
company were considered at length
but for the greater part the testimony
was of technical character. Some
of the salient points brought out
referred to the salaries of officers,
showing that the salaries have been
greatly increased from what they
were fifteen or twenty years ago;
that while the total salaries at the
home office for last year amounted
to more than s1,940,000, over ST.
100000 was charged to the industrial
department and that in 35 years the
company has travelled from position
almost of bankruptcy to be an i'm
mensely profitable business enterprise.
From 1877 to 1891 the salary of
former President Knapp was $4,000
but he received commissions which
made his compensation average from
$4,000 to $112.00o. Since 1892 Mr..
Hegeman, his successors compensa.
tion, 1t was shown has ranged from
$4,000 to 100000, at which sum
it was fixed for the present year. He
has not received any commissions
since 1896. The compensation Of Ha
ley Fisle, the vice president has
grown from S24,873 in 1892 to $4,000
for the present year. The salaries OF
other executive officers have shown
similar gains. The figures showed
| salaries for the present year. Mr.
Hegeman, his successors compensa
been made because the general pros
perity Of the company seemed to
| justify them. In his own case he said
he had begged the finance committee
not to Increase his salary from 500,
900 to 100000 last year, but the di
rectors considered that his 35 years
service justified the increase.
The examination of Actuary Craig
turned almost entirely on technica
matters connected with the immense
Industrial insurance business. Of the
company. The amount of industria
insurance Of the Metropolitan, al
shown in a statement given to Mr.
Hughes, for 1904 was $1,127, ,889, ,229
Mr.. Craig was questioned at som,
length as to the reserve fund KEEP
on this amount of insurance. Tht
reserve, he declared is calculated OF
the statutory basis.
Just before the investigation closet
for the day Mr.. Hughes asked Mr.
Hegeman, who had been recalled Il
the stand, whether or not his com
pany has ever attempted in any wa!
to influence legislation in any state
He replied that its efforts along thi
line had always been confined to EN-
ploying attorneys to appear before leg
islative committees to combat meas
ures which would have injured tn,
company. He had appeared befor,
committees himself, he said at times
to oppose such legislation.
