After 1t ended Count Witte decided
to make a personal appeal to the work.
men and drafted the following, which
was sent today to the factories, mills
and other works and posted through
out the industrial sections:
Brother workmen-Get to your
work. Cease making disturbances and
have pity on your wives and children.
DO not listen to bad advice. The en-
peror has expected us to devote special
attention to the labor question. For
this purpose his majesty has created
q ministry of trade and commerce
which must especially seek to estab-
lish just relations between workmen
and employers. Have patience. All
that Is possible will be done for you.
Listen to the advice of man who
sympathizes with you and wishes
you we'll.
(Signed). WHITE"
When the above appeal was read to
the workmen at the Westinghouse
works the leaders replied:
"Witte promises us a soft bed, but
in the meantime we must sleep on a
hard one"
Like the workmen of other factories
the Westinghouse employees informed
the manager that the strike would pro-
ceed until Saturday, when II would be
decided whether to continue or call
it off.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 16.-Bob

the telephone to train at Croll's gar
dens, Alameda, this afternoon. This
was the place where he fitted himself
for his fight with George Gardner.
F'itz could have trained at other re-
sorts near the city, but he chose Croll's
because of the spacious gymnasium.

the public can come over and see me

II don't care to be cooped up in a
cigar box where L can't have an audi

1 am anxious to satisfy the public that
such is not the case.'
Billy Delaney sent Fitz word that he
could have the services of AL Kaufman

employ the big fellow. Fitz will also
engage a clever middleweight to spar
with him, and this man will be Harry

FOR OFFICE AND FOR LOVE
Strange tumble of PuelIism, Romance,
Doodle and Politics in
Wisconsin
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
MADISON, Wis, Nov. 16.-It is a
strange potpourri of pugilism, romance,
Doodle and politics which is being
jumbled together before Governor La
Toilette in the hearing. Of the case of
District Attorney Kittell Of Green Bay,
whose office will be declared vacant if
the charges against him are sustained.
Kittell is alleged to have been derelict
on two points. The first is that he
failed to prosecute certain city officials
of Green Bay, and the second is that he
refused to prevent prize fight be-
tween Mowatt and Sayers, profession
ais, during the state convention of the
Eagles Fraternal society there last
summer.
AS far as can be learned politics is
at the bottom of the effort to remove
Kittell from office. Kittell is not an
ardent follower of Governor La Fol-
lette; his opponents are. Frank Tuck
er, second assistant attorney general
of state, is prosecuting the case, as
sisted by Attorney Huntington. Kittell
charges he is the victim of political
persecution, with pugilism and graf
as the excuse, and his sweetheart as
sufferer. Kittell was to have been
married to a society girl of Green Bay
last spring, but upon getting wind that
trouble was in store he went to the girl
and, after telling her the facts in the
case, offered to release her from her
promise. His sweetheart, however,
would not believe him guilty and loyal
ly stood by him. She offered to marry
him Immediately or wait for him until
doomsday if necessary until he was
cleared of the charges brought against
him.
mo, I couldn't marry with the pres
ent charges hanging over my head,''
Kittell said to his sweetheart. "I re-
lease you until this trouble is over"

JURY FINED FOR FAKING
1t Cost the Members Just Ten Dollars
Each for Agreeing to
DISAGREE

NEW YORK, Nov 1S.-A jury in the
supreme court today sent word to JUS
tice Slower that it had agreed, and it
was accordingly called before him to
deliver its verdict. Instead of giving
a verdict, however, the foreman an
nounced that the jury had disagreed.
II understood that this jury had
agreed" said Justice Stover.
1--WE have agreed" said the fore
man; that is, we have agreed to dis
agree"
THAT is not an agreement" de
cared the justice, "and fine of 81

of the jury for coming into court with
out a verdict after sending word that
an agreement had been reached"
The case was that of Isaac A. Pock-
rasl against the Brooklyn Heights Rail

out but half an hour.

Victim of Assault Tells of Unwar.
ranted Attack by Uni
Identified Man

NJ. Escaval, Mexican who came to
Los Angeles from Riviera yesterday,
was stabbed in q saloon on Sixth
street this morning at 2 o'clock.
His version of the story was that
he was sitting down at a table in the
saloon when some man came in and
asked him what he was doing there
and then proceeded to stab him in the
back.
The Mexican bled profusely and 1t
will be several days before he will be
able to pack oranges again, but the
cut was superficial and there is no

BASE CALUMNY,
SAYS MR.. OOELL
FORMER GOVERNOR GROWS
WRATHY
Witness characterizes James n
Hyde's Statements as Falsehoods.
Says No Retaliatory Measures
Were Considered

the arm of the witness chair with his
fist he exclaimed:
There is no truth in that statement
So help me God"
Mr.. Odell was the first witness of the
day. He said no political pressure was
brought to bear in the settlement of his
suit against the Mercantile Trust COM
pany and that 1t was settled the same
as suits brought by others. He said
he had been advised by counsel that
his claim was a just one and that any
court would have awarded him more
than he received in the settlement.
He knew of the Introduction of the
Amber bill, which it is said might
have affected the Mercantile Trust
company's charter and while he did
not suggest its introduction he saw no
objection to it.
Hyde Wants Appointment
Mr.. Odell denied that he ever made
a statement to e. H. Hartman or any
one else that retaliatory measures
would be taken against the Mercantile
company. The witness said he and
Mr. Hartman were personal friends,
but that they had no business rela-
tions. He wrote a letter on behalf of
Mr.. Hydes candidacy for the post of
ambassador to France. This was at
the request of William II. Mcintyre
one of the vice presidents of the
Equitable Life Assurance society.
Mr.. Odell said he had never solicited
political contributions, but possibly
some money might have come through
the national committee or Senator
Thomas C. Platt, as the latter had
always gathered together the funds in
New York state except in the last
year. Senator Depew was examined
with regard to his syndicate partici-
patton and his duties as counsel for the
Equitable society. Regarding the am
bassadorship to Paris, Senator Depew
said Mr.. Hyde came to him and solic-
tied his influence to secure the ap-
pointment.
Tells of Phantom Loans
Senator Depew brought the matter
to the attention of the president, al
though he told Mr.. Hyde he was too
young and the president said it was
utterly impossible to make such an APP
pointment.
The senator advocated in the inter-
ests of the public the limiting of in
surance risks and favored a public
audit of the accounts of companies at
stated periods by chartered account
ant. This he thought would obviate
many suits that are now frequently
brought for an accounting on the part
of the policy-holder.
John Gilchrist, in charge of the Sc
curity department of the Equitable
Life Assurance society, told of mil
lions of dollars in loans made at the
end of the year in the names of clerks
of Kuhn, Loeb G. Co. to comply with
the law that the surplus should be in
vested or to keep down the cash bal
ances. No collateral was held by the
Equitable on these loans and the
check which was given for these loans
was deposited in the bank and GER
tificate of deposit received. The check,
