.DUNNE WANTS
 PAPER INDICTED With Tears ln His Eyes He Says Chicago Tribune Has LibelIed
 Him
SOCIALISTS ON BOARD
Paper Told Mayor That He i. Bringing Chicago Into
 Disrepute.

Chicago, Oct 25.-Mayor Dunne went before the grand jury and de- handed the indictment of the editors and managers of the Chicago Tribune for criminal libel for publishing an editorial attacking the mayors school board appointments. The mayor charges that his character was as- sailed by the publication of the fol- lowing paragraph:
 When Mayor Dunne packs the board of education with freaks, cranks. monomaniacs and boodlers and turns over to them the care of one of the greatetl school systems in this country, he IS doing much to bring Chicago into disrepute."
 It was reported around the grand jury room that important informa- tion was given to the jury after the mayor left there. rehecting on the beliefs of some of the school trus- tees, and that in the case of one member of the board evidence mak- ing possible an indictment had been prepared. It Is said that it may be shown that some of the trustees are radical socialists. The proposal to call as a school adviser Prof John Dewey of Columbia university, who permitted Mime Andrieva, Maxim Gorky's companion, to visit his home, may be cited.
 States Attorney Healy did not take the case before the jury, but the mayor went into the jury room alone. He remained longer than a half hour When he emerged he was much af- fected. Tears were in his eyes. It is known the mayor has felt the in- situation made against him more keenly than anything else of the kind since he has been in office
 The mayor appeared early in the states attorneys office. accompanied by Guy Cramer, his secretary. and Joseph B.,David, his attorney. A few minutes later the staff of tile Tribune began to arrive. including James Keeley. managing editor: E. H. secretary and treasurer of the Tribune Co: Fred Hall edi- torial writer; E. s. Beck, city editor, and Frank Hammer, secretary to Mir Keeley.
 The case will occupy several days.

FRENCH PARLIAMENT.
New Cabinet Was Not Ready to Take
 Up Business.

Paris, Oct 25.-The French parlia- ment reassembled to-day. The ses- sions were robbed of interest owing to the fact that the new cabinet was unable to present itself, Premier Clemenceau having previously off, cially advised the presidents of the chambers that the ministerial declar- ation would not be ready for some days. Consequently the sessions of the senate and chamber. of deputies were brief and both chambers ad- journed until November 5. The only business transacted was the appoint ment by the senate of a commission to consider the proposition to trans fer the ashes of Emile Zola to the Pantheon.
 Both President Brisson and Prest- dent Dubost, in calling their respec- tive chambers to order, made feeling references to ithe national bereave- ment in the loss of the submarine boat Lutin and her crew of two offi- cers and fourteen men, off Bizerta, Tunis.

COMMANDMENTS ALL BAD.

So Says Bernard Shaw, Who Deems Them Very Unsafe RulsA sf Liss.
 George Bernard Shaw, the critic and dramatist, lecturing at Manchester ,on
 the subject "The Ten Commandments" !" said. according to London cable dis patch to the New York Sun, that he had been thinking them over and was surprised to find that instead of being safe rules of conduct they were ex- tremely dangerous and undesirable.
 Thou shalt not swear That" said Mir. Shaw, "Is too painful q sub ject for me to dwell on. Being an Irishman, have sworn more than most Englishmen. Englishmen eat their words more than Irishmen do, and that Is probably because they obey the Second Commandment. Swearing Is a safety valve. Do not swear too much, but when you feel that you must do something violent, swear.
 Thou shalt not kill Why notl My own opinion Is that we don't want to kill people enough. We conflne our killing too much to foreigners. There are large classes of people in the com munity who ought to be killed. Every citizen ought every few years to be brought before public board and ask ed if he could justify his existence.s If he could not make 1t clear that be did as much for the community as the com munity did for him he should be sent to lethal chamber"
 Mr. Shaw described the marriage contract flor better or worse" as con- pletely immoral. for all contracts ought to be for better and nothing else.
 He objected strongly to the com. mandment Thou shalt have no other gods before me" They were told in another part of the same volume that they were not to worship Mammon. He himself was stremendous wor- shIpcr of Mammon. Money was the most important thing In the worldv and all the. evils we had to struggle against were due to the fact that children were not taught that from their earliest years.

watching Yellow Fever.

Washington, Oct 25.-Army medi- cal officers who have had much ex- perience in Cuba are watching with some anxiety the progress of yellow fever in the island. The principal cause for apprehension is found in the fact that the appearance of the disease at several widely separated points is an evidence that 1t has got ten away from the medical depart ment in Havana. However. the army surgeons here do not fear general epidemic, but do believe that 1t will take much hard work. time and money to put Havana in thorough condition and stamp out the cases of fever.

Springfield. Mass, Oct 25.-A strike in the local shops of the Bos- ton and Albany railroad in conse- quence of the vote of the striking Allston car workers to call out all the car workmen on the New York Central lines. seems improbable. The general feeling of the unionists as expressed at a meeting held last night was against any sympathetic movement. The fact that the local boilermakers struck about two years ago and were forced to carry on their contest unassisted by other branches of the car workers trade. is an im- portant consideration, especially as at this time the local men declare that they have no grievances.

Car Workers Strike.

Boston, Oct 25.-The strike of the car workers of the Boston and All bany railroad against the piece sched- ule of wages was further complicated to-day by the disaffection against the system of the car workers of the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road at Readville expressed last night. At a meeting of the Bay State lodge of carmen, employees of the New Haven, it was voted to insist on the abolition of the piece system. A resolution of sympathy with the Boston and Albany men was adopted and a small sum of money appropri- ated to aid them in conducting the strike. The men in the Allston shop of the Boston and Albany company. numbering about 200. who are now on strike. have threatened to call sympathetic strike on the New York Central line to enforce their de- mands. Such step would involve 15,000 men.

GOOD SUMMER BEVERAGES
A Homemade Lemon Syrup Much
Better Than the Kind for Sale
Other Cooling Drinks.

LEMON SIRUP. Take the juice OF
IL lemons, CRATE the rind of six in it,
let 1t stand over night, then take six
pounds of white sugar, and make a
thick sirup. When it is quite cool
strain the juice into it, and squeeze
as much oil from the grated rind as
will suit the taste. A tablespoonful
in a goblet Of water will make a de-
licious drink on a hot day, far superior
to that prepared from the stuff com-
monty sold as lemon sirup.
RASPBERRY VINEGAR four
quarts of red raspberries put enough
vinegar to cover, and let them stand
"a hours; scald and strain it; add a
pound of sugar to one pint of juice;
boil it 20 minutes, and bottle; it is
then ready for use, and will keep for
years. To one glass of water add a
large spoonful. 1t is much relished by
the sick.
LEMONADE.-Take half a pound Of
loaf sugar and reduce it to a sirup with
one pint of water Add the rind Of
five lemons and let stand one hour;
remove the rinds and add the strained
juice of the lemons; put one bottle Of
carbonated water and a block Of ice
in center of bowl. Peel one lemon and
cut it up into thin slices, divide each
slice in two and put in lemonade
Serve with a piece of lemon in each
glass.
CLARET.-One quart bottle OF
claret, one bottle Of soda water, one
lemon cut thin, four tablespoons Of
powdered sugar, quarter Of teaspoon
of grated nutmeg, one liquor glass Of
brandy, one wine glass Of sherry wine.
Half an hour before it is to be used
put in a large piece Of ice, SO that It
may get perfectly cold.

President Roosevelt Is Examining
Transcript Of Testimony, Which
Will Delay Execution

Yesterday evening a telegram was
received by Judge Parker from Presi-
dent Roosevelt asking for transcript
Of the testimony In the case of Rob-
ert Cotton, who is under sentence to
be hanged In the federal jail here
Tuesday. This means that Cotton
will be reprieved, as it will be impos-
ible for the stenographer, Arthur
Croninger, to transcribe the record
and get it to the president before
Tuesday.
1t means, too that Cotton will not
die without an effort having been
made to save his life. Until a few
days ago, no move had been made for
intervention in his behalf A petit
tion for a reprieye was finally filed in
Washington, however, and President
Roosevelt is now making personal
investigation, 1t is not believed by
any Of the officials here that the
president will intervene to save the

PRIESTLEYNO RIGHTSREPRIEVE COMING
Henry N. Furman Has
Advanced Views on
Negro Question.

Henry M. Furman, Democratic can
didate for the United States senate,
spoke in Vinita last night. There
was a large audience present In the
opera house to hear him. He is a
ready and effective speaker, but a
thorough disciple Of the race prejudice
plan OF campaign. He spoke here
ones before, and on that occasion be-
rated the marshal and his posse for
their 'inhuman treatment Of the
Wickliffes. He said considerable
along this same lire last night.
The Chieftain had no regular re-
porter present at the meeting, which
it sincerely regrets, as Mr.. Furman
made several statements, if report be
true, that he wouldn't enjoy seeing in
print. One who was there reports
that his deliyerance on the negro
question was substantially as follows,
subject, of course, to denial by the
Leader:
81 admit that the niger has his
rights. He has the right to shine my
shoes and cut my hair. would give
him the right Of separate schools, Of
separate waiting rooms, Of separate
railroad and street cars. / would give
him for the maintenance OF his
schools only the money which he him
self paid in taxes; would not approp-
rate one cent of taxes from a white
mans property for the support Of
Niger schools" :"

5 ays Gas Company
Will Rush Its Work
in vinita.

George G. Priestley general manager
Of the Warren company, was in the
city this morning consulting with
w. P. Thompson, the local attorney
of the company, and with the light
committee of the city council. Mr..
Priestley asserted that work on the
laying Of the pipe line to Vinita and
Of the distributing system in the
streets of che city would be pushed,
and that the gas would be delivered
to consumers by December |, accord
to the terms Of the ordinance.
Mr.. Priestley had short Injecting
with the council committee, and sat
isfied the members that he is doing
everything in his power to carry out
the contract. He showed a letter
from J, T. Braden, a big Pittsburg
dealer in pipe, telling Of the shipment
of fourteen miles Of pipe, which will
be here, barring delays, in the fore
part of next week.
w. r. Thompson IS to proceed at
once with the work of securing the
right of way for the pipe line. Con-
tracts for the digging Of the pipe line
and of the distributing pipes within
the city have been let to separate con-
tractors, in order to facilitate the
work. The contractor who is to lay
the pipe line says that he can do a
mile day. 1t will be some time be-
fore the pipe line can be laid, as there
will probably be some delay in secur-
ing the right Of way, but every effort
will be made to expedite matters.
Mr.. Priestley returned on the 9:4S
to train on the Katy this home in Bart

of the Warren company are located

JOHN BROWN DAY
ViCe-President Fairbanks the
Chief Speaker at Osa-
watOmie.

Osawatomie, Kan, Aug. 30-Here
today OH the battlefield where half a
century ago the first armed conflict
over slavery took place, Charles w.
Fairbanks, vice president Of the
United States delivered a stirring
address to 5000 persons. The occas-
ion was the celebration of the tlftieth
anniversary Of the battle OF Osawat-
omie, in which John Brown was the
central figure. Mr. Fairbanks was
accorded most enthusiastic recep-
tion. He said among other things:
We should not recall the differences
and the heart-burnings Of fifty years
ago with the purpose Of awakening
them into life, for they are dead and
buried beyond resurrection. We now
rejoice in the fact that they are dead
and buried, together with the institu-
tion which engendered them, and
that where there was discord there is
now unity; where there was turbul-
ence, there is now order; where there
was hate, there is now love; where
there was hope Of national dismember-
ment, there is now pride in national
solidarity; where there was sectional
spirit, now there is but one hope and
aspiration among the millions Of
American people, who span the con-
tinent from sea to sea-a people who
in their unity and In their strength,
in their devotion to liberty and their
nationality, have become the might
lest people on the face of the earth.
We have not come hlther to awaken
ia any ungenerous sense the visions
which made this historic, but rather
to contrast the present with the past;
to recall the heroic service Of men in
the interest Of home and country; to
kindle anew our patriotic zeal and to
glory in the triumphs Of freedom in
America.
It may be truly said that the be
ginning Of the end Of african slavery

negro's life. A reprieve win be grant,
ed to give the president time to ex-
anime the record, but no one who Is
cognizant OF The details OF the negro's
crime believes that the president
will commute the sentence.
Meantime, Cotton expresses him
self as being prepared to die, and is
placing no great hope on the efforts
being made to save him from the
gallows. He is bearing up in good
shape, according to Jailor Wilkinson,
who has had charge Of many con-
demned murderers. He IS visited
two or three times week by the
colored minister .of the Methodist
church, and seems to derive much
consolation from these visits.
The gallows was not erected in the
jail yesterday, and it will not be put
up now until some definite word is re-
ceived from Washington, which will
doubtless be in day or SO.

in American was the enactment Of
the Kansas N Nebraska bill 1t was
deemed by its authors wise
and beneficent measure, but their
vision was grossly perverted They
proceeded upon a false principle. The
basis upon which the act rested was
fundamentally wrong. It was the
eliminating act IN series of iuggler-
les upon the slavery question.
When the Kansas. ebraska meas
ure became the law of the land, it was
already written In the book OF fate
that nothing would suffice short Of
the absolute extinction OF slavery
upon the American SOIL The bIemish
which rested upon our fair land and
which was a mockery Of liberty
must be completely wiped away, The
anti-slavery leaders, brave and splend-
i'd men they were saw with precision
the logical sequence Of the new meas
ure concerning the institution of
slavery. They realized that it was q
direct affront and challenged the
moral sense of the people. With
true prophetic instinct, Mr.. Chase
said, 1T will light up fire in the
country which may consume thcce
who kindled it.
