New York, July 11.--Jacob II. Schiff to-

corning divers matters recently published
in connection with his name:
IT cannot possibly take up and discuss
for publication every statement with

some times praise and sometimes censure,

and best judge, and if my acts have in
any instance been misjudged I shall trust
to time for this to become corrected"

DISAGREE ABOUT
PROSECUTIONS
COUNSEL FOR MAYOR WEAVER
AND THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY
CANNOT GET TOGETHER ON
The CONSPIRACY CHARGE.

Philadelphia, July 11.-According to cor
respondence made public tonight James
Gay Gordon, private counsel for Mayor
Weaver, and John c. Bell, district attor-
ney of this city, have seriously disagreed
on the question of bringing a charge of
conspiracy against Frank III. Caven, John
w. Hill and certain other persons
Caven, a councilman, Is under bail on
the charge of violating his counciimanic
oath in being interested in city contracts.
HILL formerly chief of the bureau of fill
tratlon. is under $4,000 bail on charges OF
forgery and classifying bureau records in
connection with the city's filtration plants
In both cases the contracting nrm OF ID.
j. McNichol & Co., of which State Senator
j. P. McNichol and former Insurance
Commissioner l. w. Durham are members,
is involved.
Mr.. Gordon wanted the district attorney
in drawing up indictments against Caven
and Hill to include the charge OF con-
spiracy. This the district attorney de-
clined to do. asserting that under the law
such an indictment, based on the test
taken before the committing magistrate,
could not be drawn up. He assured Mr..
Gordon that II such charges are brought
before magistrate, and they are returned
to him. he would prosecute the cases to
a conclusion to the best of his ability.
Mr.. Gordon, in replying to the district
attorney says:f
s'While the bills of indictment against
Caven and Hill are important. they are
unimportant compared with the necessity
for bringing to justice the real and potent
criminals who have profited most by and
who have been the source and inspira-
ton of the gross and far-reaching con-
spiracy by which the city of Philadelphia
has been for years robbed and disgraced.
I note with extreme regret what you have
to say as to the steps that you will have
to require to be taken before you will
take official cognizancs of the grievous
crimes committed by the prominent and
powerful persons who as contracting
firm have been the beneficiaries of the
crimes of which Craven and Hill were
,nly tools and illustrations"

company has hitherto been the Chatham

THE company had balances In four
New York banks of over a million dol

after the purchase by Mr.. Ryan and his
associates of the new stock the bulk of

promptly gave a leave of absence for

the glory which has exalted me. My

NOUS choice of a free people. On these

Bernadotte was French born, son Of a
not over successful lawyer. 1t was in
tended the son (Jean Baptiste Jules)
should follow the fathers profession,
but he showed strong inclination for
military life and enlisted as a private
in the royal marines of France. He be-
gan his career at fortunate time for
a man with ambitions, for it was at the
period when family" meant least in
France, ability had its chance. The
revolution had turned classes upside
down: the talents of the enlisted pri-
vate were recognized and ere long ne
was advanced to high positions.
Before we speak of the miracle that
placed French lad of humble origin on
the throne of foreign country, let us
review briefly his previous career. He
served nine years in his profession with
out attracting particular attention, but
at the end of that period his rise was
rapid. He became colonel, general OF
brigade, then general of division and
French minister Of war. 1t was in tho
campaign of the Rhine and the Italian
campaign his military prowess won
special recognition; but Of thic one OF
his soldiers Napoleon never had any
