WORKS THE STATE
So Asserts Bar Committee of
New York Judge

ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. II. = The
charges rejecting upon the integrity of
State Supreme Court Justice Warren
B. Hooker, which We're contained in the
report of Fourth Assistant Postmaster
Bristow, have been sustained by sub
committee of the State Bar association,
which recommends a legislative inyes-
tigation. One of the allegations in the
Bristow report was that Justice Hooker
had financial interest in the renting
of the postoffice of Dunkirk.
The findings of the subcommittee all
lege that at the request of Hooker.
Frank P. Ball. who owed the wife of
Justice Hooker $3,0S5 borrowed money,
was appointed a laborer at the post
office at Fredonia. was advanced to
clerk and drew a total salary of 1882,
but never rendered service in these po-
sitions and that his salary was applied
in payment of his debt to Mrs. Hooker.
The committee finds that Justice Hook
er secured the appointment of his
nephew, Maurice Hooker, aged sixteen,
as a laborer in the Fredonia postoffice
at salary of $4,000 year and that
young Hooker never performed any
service there.

Gen. ChiIds Speaks Five Hours for
the State, Claiming the Facts
Shown Are All Against the Defend
ant---Speaking for the Defense,
Mr.. Brown Says 1t Is Impossible
That DR.. Koch Killed Gebhard

Special to The Globe
NEW sULM, Mimi, Jan. II. - The
Gebbard murder trial is nearing the
close. The attorneys made their clos
ing addresses today and the case will
go to the jury tomorrow. Disagreement
is expected.
The state put on several witnesses in
rebuttal at the opening of court this
morning. The first witness called was
Anton Richart, alderman of the Third
ward and a neighber of DIR. Koch. He
testified that on Nov. 26 E. G. Koch, the
accused dentists father, told him that
DR.. Koch was home on the night of the
murder around 10 o'clock. The state
desired to puncture the family alibi as
regards the exactness of the time when
the doctor should have arrived home
on the night Of the murder. The de-
fense did not cross examine him.
The next witness was Henry Schno-
brich, who conducts a meat market.
He was the man who was in the shop
with Horsak, the shoemaker, shortly
before 8 o'clock on the night of the
murder. He left the shop at the time

BISHOP TALBOT is
SUED FOR ISLANDER
Board of Inquiry Having Failed,
DR.. Irvine Seeks Redress
i'm the Courts

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 17@The
controversy between Rt. Rev. Ethel
bert Talbot, bishop of the Protestant
Episcopal diocese of Central Pennsyl-
vania, and Rev. DR.. 1. N Irvine took d
new turn today, and it is probable that
the whole affair will be aired in the
civil courts.
DR.. Irvine today filed notice of suit
for slander against Bishop Talbot,
asking damages. The papers were
served on the bishop, who came to this
city today to preside at the meeting
of the general convention of Sunday
school instruction of the Episcopal
church, of which he is chairman.
DIR. Irvine's action was the result of
a suggestion made by the Rev. Dr.
John Fulton, editor of the Church
Standard, this city, in a letter to Rev.
Daniel /. Odel, of this city, during the
early stages of the controversy. In
that letter DR.. Fulton made the sug-
gestion that if Bishop Talbot had
made statements concerning DR.. Irvine
which were not true he had redress in
the courts. Today DR.. Irvine held a
conference with an attorney and filed
notice of the suit The papers were
placed in the hands of process server,
who served the notification upon Bish-
op Talbot.
The amount of damages asked by
DR.. Irvine is not known. It is believed
the deposed priest brought the legal
action against the prelate because of
the failure of the ecclesiastical board
of inquiry to investigate his charges
against the bishop. The board of In
quiry decided that it was uneanonical-
ly constituted, and therefore without
Jurisdiction.

version. and not at s:15 o'clock, as
Horsak testified.
Dr. G. F. Reinecke was then called
relative to a conversation he had with
Brooks in which they discussed the
wearing of the apparel. of the mur-
derer on the fatal night. The defense
objected to opening up this phase OF
the case and the state withdrew it's
questions in which it attempted to
bring out that Brooks claimed to have
examined the brown derby hat and
found no blood stains thereon shortly
after the murder.
G.. w. Murfin, of Minneapolis, was
called and Immediately excused be-
cause the state entered an objection. 1t
was relative to conversation had with
Brooks.
Joseph Weisenborn, the night police
man, said that Nov. 1 was starlight
night and that it was dark The state
wanted to show with this admission
that it was impossible to see a rabbit
in the cowyard when DR.. Koch returned
home on the night of the murder.
Attorney L. L. Brown moved to strike
out the expert testimony given by Prof.

are giving their lives for their country
ought not to be prosecuted and de-
prived of the comforts of their religion

crossing themselves instead of three.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. IT,
Russia today. through Count Cassini,
expressed her thanks TO the American
government for its prompt action in
calling to Cnina's attention the charges
that her neutrality was being violated.
The Russian ambassador received to-
day note from Secretary Hay in
forming the ambassador that the
American government had promptly
called China's attention to the charges
and expressed the feryent hope that
China's neutrality as well as her ad-s
ministrative entity would be faith
fully preserved. The secretary said
that the Chinese minister had assured
him that his government was doing her
utmost to prevent violations of her
neutrality by either belligerent.
Count Cassini said tonight that Rus
sia's note to the powers was prompted
by the fact that she had absolute proof
that Chinese neutrality was being
frequently violated and that unless
China mended her ways the imperial
government would be forced to look
first to Russia's interest.

PARIS, Jan. 1s.-The Tien Tsin
correspondent of the Paris edition of

China and Chinese Turkestan if China
continues to discriminate against Rus

Russians have occupied Kashgar, the
governor of which has appealed to the
Nhinese foreign board to open negotia-
tions for the withdrawal of the Rus

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 17.-Con-
siderable feeling has been aroused
here by the report from .Manchuria
that several priests of the old Russian
faith who had voluntarily accompa-
MED the troops to the field to minister
to soldiers of their creed have been
prevented by the military authorities
from rendering the last offices to the
wounded and the dying at the instiga-
ton of the regular clergy and driven
off the battlefield. The dying soldiers
refused the ministrations of the regu-
lar clergy, saying they wished to die
in their own faith. The report has
