Final Decision

OLYMPIA, May 20.-Governor Mead
has departed for his home in Bellinx-
ham to attend the commencement ex-
erclses of the Bellingham normal
school and while there he will consult
with Harry Fairchild, his political
friend and adviser, and chairman of
the coming railway commission.
The principal subject of discussion
will be the naming of the other two
members of the commission, and it is
probable that all of the governors in
innate friends and advisers will be
given an invitation to express their
ideas on the subject.
The governor says he expects to an
nounce the other two names shortly
after his return from Bellingham
early next week.

Denied the privilege of holding SER
vices in the streets and obliged by
ton to abandon their plans of building
a temple, the outlook for the Nor
mons in Harlem is not encouraging.
They have sold the house in West
123d street. which they had purchased
last December to the great scandal of
all Harlem. They have been using the
house for their eastern district head
quarters while planning to acquire
the adjoining property.
The former owner held it at a high
price, and the Latter Day Saints, with
the patience of their founder, said they
would wait until he died. The owner
died. but instead of the chances of an
auction giving the house to the fol-
lowers of Joseph Smith, it fell into the
hands of real estate spectators, who
held it at an even higher figure.
So the Mormons have now sold their
lot and have abandoned for the time
being at any rate, their project of
building a temple.

PROBING STANFORD CASE.
Gan Francisco Police Using Third
 Degree on Butler and Maid.

SAN FRANCISCO, March S.-For the last two days the police have been con Eiderably more active in their investi- gation of the circumstances surround ing the death of Mrs. Jane Lathrop Stanford.
 Albert Beverly, the former butler. and Miss Elizabeth Richmond, the for mer maid, have been through q severe inquisition lasting nearly three hours, and the police are not through with them.
 Mir. Mountford Wilson. attorney for the Stanford estate; District Attorney Byington and Captain of Detectives Burnett did the questioning.
 The police have steadfastly refused to divulge the line of questioning to which Beverly and Miss Richmond have thus far been subjected, but it has been gleaned from a reliable source that Beverly admitted to them that he was in the habit of taking commissions on purchases made for the household while in Mrs. Stanford's employ. This much the police have admitted, but they refuse to affirm or deny the cor rectness of the further statement of Beverly that Miss Berner shared with him in these illegal commissions on purchases. In cable dispatch from Honolulu she makes an absolute deni- al of the charge.
 Miss Richmond declared to the police that it was Butler William McWhin- ney who opened the bottles of mineral water on the occasion of the attempt made to poison Mrs. Stanford last Jan uary. She said she carried one of the bottles to Mrs. Stanford and that the other was intended for Miss Berner.
 A Honolulu dispatch says that the chemists in test of the contents of Mrs. Stanford's stomach have found a color which indicated strychnine poi soning and that they will so testify at . the inquest The chemists also found strychnine in the bicarbonate of soda of which Mrs. Stanford partook on the night of her death.

THE ECHADWICK TRIAL
Defense Established Errors In < Government Case.
CARNEGIE MAY NOT BE CALLED.
Oberlin Bank Books Did Not Show Any Account That Accused Could Draw Checks on Without Funds as Charged.


 CLEVELAND, O., March S-Nine witnesses were examined in the Chad wick trial, and the defense established the fact that the claim of the govern ment that Mrs. Chadwick had no money ill the Oberlin bank at the time of drawing checks which were certi- fled by Spear and Beckwith was incor- rect in two instances at least.
 It was shown by the general journal of the bank that on Nov. 3, 1903, when Mrs. Chadwick received certified check for $10,OOO, an entry crediting her with that amount was made on the journal of the bank and deposit slip for $10,0O0 was made out in her name. The entry and the slip were in the handwriting of Cashier Spear. Another entry of similar nature, amounting to 5000, was also found. These facts were brought out on cross examination by Judge Wing, counsel for Mrs. Chadwick, after long and te- ,, dious questioning of H. H. Avery, as- sistant cashier of the Oberlin bank.
 MT. Avery testified that the entry giving credit to Mrs. Chadwick for $1O,OOO was in the handwriting of Cashier Spear and that the deposit slip for the same amount was also in Spears handwriting. Robert Lyons, receiver for the Citizens National bank of Oberlin, was the last witness of the day. He said that the books did not show that any account had ever ex- isted by which Mrs. Chadwick could draw checks on the bank. All the ac- counts of the banks balanced, with the exception of that with the First Ma tional bank of Cleveland, where there was a discrepancy of about $27 900 in favor of the Cleveland institution.
 @ Avery at first testified that Mrs. Chadwick at no time had either money in or credit at the bank.
 It is doubtful if Andrew Carnegie will take the stand. District Attorney Sullivan said:
 Tt is not my present intention to put Mir. Carnegie on the stand, and I do not think that he will be called upon to testify unless his evidence should be needed in rebuttal of something in trOduced by the defense"
