Grover Cleveland, the only living ex-
President and the only Democrat who
has occupied the executive Office since

Of government TO Abraham Lincoln, In

would be natural to suppose that Mr..
Cleveland would be entirely without
influence in his party and that no
Democrat would bother as 10 what his
opinion might be of any man or any
measure.
Yet we find prevailing n condition
wholly contrary, Within the past few
DAYS there has come from some un-
known source mysterious rumor that
Mr.. Cleveland was about to break his
silence and tell the country what he
thought OF William Jennings Bryan
and the doctrines which Mr.. Bryan Is
now preaching up and down the conn

Mr.. Bryan himself remains naughty

headquarters. He win be taken to Chi.
cago tomorrow.
Assistant States Attorney Barnes, Of
Illinois, who accompanied Stensland,
said the banker had made full con-
fession. Stensand's son states his ia.
ther was willing to plead guilty to cer-
tain violations OF the State banking
laws, but not to forgery; that his fa-
ther would reveal everything leading up
to the wrecking of the bank, and that
this win implicate prominent Chicago
men. He added that IL the shortage
was over S4,0O0000, his father would
prove that Cashier Herring was respon'
sible for everything above that amount.
The son also said his father would
turn states evidence in case others
were connected with the wrecking Of
the bank. Stensland senior is weak

the strain to which he has been sub
jected in his desperate attempt to place
himself outside the pale Of law.
No little excitement attended the
landing Of Stensland and Barnes and
Managing Editor Kelly of the Chicago
Tribune, who went with Barnes to Tan

Stensland was formally placed under
arrest by New York detectives and a
few minutes later he met his son. Both
were overcome and made no effort to
control their feelings.

Tangier, because, during his experience
as sailor some years ago, he under.

port and that he would be perfectly safe
there. Young Stensland, in behalf OF
his father, also said his father was ex'
eeedingly sorry for the depositors II
they lose any money, but he did not
believe they will, unless some one else
has been doing crooked work. He says
his father has turned over all his prop

the son, 'his heart goes out, first of all

MEAT IS DECAYED
The Free Lunches Served in
Chicago Saloons Awful.
A Plant Where the 'sStuff" Is
Prepared Is Raided.
THE STENCIL FEARFUL.
Sausages Also Manufactured
From Unstable Beef.
Employees Arrested and the
"Food'' Confscated.

Chicago, Aug. 17@That the free
lunch served in hundreds of saloons in
Chicago is largely composed of meat
was discovered yesterday by Food IN
speetor Murray, when his force of as
sistants raided barn at 124 Illinois
street. owned by William Davidson.
The place contained thirty stoves.
over which six men were working in
an endeavor to prepare decayed pork
and beef into a semblance OF its origin
al form. and thereafter manufacture
it into free lunch for the saloon trade.
The men working in the awful
stencil of the place were arrested on
warrants sworn out by Inspector Muir
ray and, with Davidson, are accused
of violating the health ordinances of
the city.
The raid of the Illinois street barn
followed the inspection of a cold stor-
age warehouse.
The warehouse is a public one and
in it Inspector Murray found $4,000
pounds of meat unfit for use. A search
of the books of the company showed
that this meat was the property of
Davidson.
In addition to the equipment at the
barn for converting unstable meat
into cuts from supposedly good roasts,
the inspectors found a plant for the
manufacture of sausage of different
kinds, and other articles of food which
usually adorn the free lunch counters
in the Oh cap or middle class saloons.
The entire plant was conf7scated and
will be used as evidence against David
son and his assistants in Justice Glib
bons' court today

MR.. COLEMAN IS WRONG.
His Ruling About Naturalization Re.
versed by Uncle sam.

According to a dispatch from Wash
ington, Attorney General Coleman has
been reversed in his naturalization law
ruling by the officials of the United
States department of commerce and
labor.
Mr.. Coleman holds that foreigners
who took out their first papers under
the former law must take out papers
under the new law before September
81, and that. failing to do this, they
will lose their citizenship rights. in
Guiding the privilege OF voting.
This construction of the statute was
submitted to the department officials
by Representative Campbell of Kan
sas. There are thousands of foreign
ers in Mr.. Campbell's congressional
district. and If Mr.. Coleman's con-
struction of the law holds hundreds of
them would be unable to vote at the
elections this fall. The matter was re-
ferred to Mr.. Sergeant, the commits
sioner general Of immigra ton, and to
of the department. They agree that
the law was not retroactive, and that
the status of foreigners who have de-
clared their intention of becoming citi-
zens under the former law would in
no way be changed by the recent
legislation.
Judge Campbell stated that there
was not the slightest doubt that the
foreigner who has taken out his first
papers viii have a legal right to vote.
He will prepare an opinion on the sec
ton in controversy.
