FURTHER DETAILS OF DEATH.
Alone and Far from Home Joseph
Graham, Who Spent Some
Months i'm Grand juno
ton, Died at Lum-
ber Camp.

The Sentinel briefly announced
Saturday the sudden death of Joseph
/ Graham, formerly an employee of
Barton & Platt. the livery firm of this
city, at numbering camp at Mitchell
near Red Cliff.
Graham it seems arrived at Nit
chell and was employed by ].
! l.. Jones to haul logs, two or three
weeks ago One morning last week.
after feeding his team, Graham de
clined to eat breakfast saving that
he was not well and returned to the
bunk house. After breakfast some
of the men went to the bunk house
and found that Graham was dead.
+ From all appearances he died from
natural causes. The interment took
place at Red Cliff.
Regarding the death the Red Cliff
Blade says in part:
Nothing that would indicate the
| location of the mans friends was
| found on his person. He brought no
effects with him to Mitchell except an
extra suit of clothes. 1t was learned
that he came from Grand Junction to
Mitchell and a scrap of paper bearing
the firm name of Barton and Platt.
| liverymen in that city, was found in
] his clothes, and it is likely that the
dead man was formerly employed by
] that firm. Graham had also said
] that his parents resided ON State
street, Chicago, but his acquaintance
/ had forgotten the street number.
/ Coroner Gilpin will communicate
with the Grand Junction firm and al
so with the chief of police of Chicago
| in an effort to locate the mans rel
atives.
! Deceased was apparently 33 or
80 years of age, and evidently of
good education and connections.
] Graham spent two or three months
I in Grand Junction and for several
weeks was employed at the Barton
and Plat stable. He was a good
workman but occasionally would
get drunk and this kept him from
having steady employment. Those
who knew him here state he acted
at times as if something was prey
ing on his mind and It is said that
several times he had been heard to
say that "he wished he were dead,
and that 81 would be better off dead"
In view of his sometimes strange ac-
tions the theory that he may have
| killed himself is entertained by some
but from all reports he apparently
/ died from natural causes.

finn ISSUES SOME WARRANTS
on POSITIVE EVIDENCE or H.
LEGAL REGISTRATION.

Onicers with Variegated Rulings
MAGISTRATE Finn Signs roo Warrants
FOR Suspected Uptown C"IOnlzrrs
After working two weeks on alleged
illegal registrations and making applica-
ions daily to Magistrate Finn in the
Tombs police court for from ten to fifty
warrants and summonses, Policemen
O'Neill and McMullen of the Oak street
station house managed to make out a
single case yesterday and got a warrant,
They also got some advice from the Magis-
trate and they both expressed a willingness
to do almost any kind OF police work but
that TO which they have been assigned
by Capt. Toole, who was s~entsover from
Brooklyn during the recent shakeup.
The policemen had Mrs. Mary O'Connell
in court to tell that a man who had regis
tered from the same floor Of the house
at 3 Madison street. where she lives, does
not reside there. Mrs. O'Connell was so
sure of her testimony that the warrant
was at onoe issued.
"Now. that's what / want" said the
Magistrate. Il want evidence from some
body who knows. You have asked me
before to give you warrants in several
cases Upon the say so OF the janitor. He
n no tell in houses where from ten to
fifteen families live IL a man registering
from there il not a lodger with one OF the
many families. But IL you get the tenan
OF the floor or fat claimed as a residence
to come here and make such an oath you'll
get your warrant and get it quickly. l am
just as anxious as you to prevent illegal
voting, but l simply will not issue warrants
unless l get evidence to justify IT,"
The same policemen had Mrs. Elizabeth
Hohmann of 407 Pearl street in court to
swear that seven men registered from her
boarding house no longer live there. She
was unable to tell the exact date OF their
departure, but thought il was about
October s. Since the men would have a
right to register if they had lived there
up to that time and have still the right
TO vote il they ave not left the election
district Magistrate Finn declined to issue
any warrants.
Deputy Acknowledgement Lewis O'Brien
and William Blau were in court with appli-
cations for six warrants for men said TO
nave registered illegally in the Doyers
street district, in Chinatown. They hid
present in every case men who positively
swore that the places given as legal resi-
denoes were not such and that they knew
no such men lived at the places named.
witnesses were proprietors OF lodging
houses and hotels. In every case the
warrant was promptly issued.

The warrants will not be served until cleo

Senator Depew's ''Rantanke rOus'' Friend
Expires al His Home In Albany
ALBANY, Nov. 2.-William Shepherd
Manning, the ADVANTAGEOUS" friend Of
Senator Depew, is dead at his home
here OF apoplexy. Mr.. Manning was born
in Baltimore in 1884, and was educated as a
civil engineer at st. Mary's College. He
was married to Florence NJ. Mayer of New
York in hat city thirty-eight years ago
and came to Albany in 1888. Mr.. Manning
retired from active work about three years
age. His wife and two sons, Samuel and
William s.. Jr., and two daughters, the
Misses E. r. and f. NJ. Manning, survive.
Mr.. Manning was brought into the lime
light in the insurance investigation when
a letter was read to the committee ad-
dressed to senator Depew in which Manning
was referred to as our friend up the river
who wants to know, you know" IL de-
veloped on investigation that for years
the insurance companies had been paying
a sum Of money to a certain lawyer in New
York, who in turn had paid an annual homo
rarium TO Manning.
Manning had been connected with an
insurance company in New York city and
had acquired extensive actuarial expert
ence and knowledge OF insurance science
and legislation. After the investigation
twenty-five years ago into insurance af-
fairs he secured and preserved the testi-
mony taken and had 1t printed. These
books were afterward acquired by the
companies.
Manning went before the Armstrong
committee ard testified that he received
an amount annually from the insurance
companies as an expert and was ready to
be called on at any time that they wanted
his services.

FRANCE WON'T CLOSE CHURCHES.
Catholics May worship IN Them, TUT State
viii Control he Property.

Special Cable Despatch TO TIE SUN.
PARIS. Nov, IN. BRAND. Minister OF
Public Instruction and Worship. explained
to-day TO the Mdtin what the Government
intends doing with the churches where
Catholics refuse to form associations.
The Minister said that Catholics may
go on holding services in the churches. but
whereas heretofore the churches were
their own property, and whereas they might
now retain them as their own by comply
ing with the law. the buildings. where the
law is not complied with. will be the prop
erty Of the State and will be administered
as such. The priests. instead Of being in
control. will simply administer their offices
on sufferance Of the State or the communal
authorities. The Minister OF Finance will
control the property, but only because
Catholics decide to ignore the law Of privi-
lege made for their benefit.
NJ. BRAND pointed out that N~onoonform-
lists, Jews. Greek Catholics and other re-
ligious bodies have taken advantage Of the
privileges which the law confers upon all
religions alike. Only the Roman Catholics
their deter mination to ignore
the law.
The Minister added that law is law and
that the Church has the right to do as il
chooses. The reply she has given is an
extraordinary example Of humility. since
she prefers poverty to riches, feebleness to
force and impotence to cohesion.

SPECIALS TO BE REAL COPS.
They'll Get Credit for All the Arrests
They Make Hereafter.

~s
In a general order issued by Police Com
missioner Bingham yesterday sweeping
changes were announce in the rules which
rave heretofore governed special patrol
men. The two thousand or more men EN-
ployed as specials by corporations, private
detective agencies and individuals now
stand on practically the same basis as the
regular cops, so far as the right and duty
to arrest are concerned. ndes Z
While Commissioner Bingham points
out that those rights are vested in them by
the Greater New York charter they have
seldom, il ever, been used.
Commissioners Bingham's new rule says
no person is eligible to appointment as
special patrolman unless he has been a
resident Of New York State for one year
preceding his appointment, and no appoint
ment will be made for a longer period than
one year. Each special will W to take
an oath that he is a citizen OF the United
States and of allegiance and to cooperate
with and aid the police force in its efforts
to detect crime and in the arrest Of crimi-
nails"
Persons arrested by a special patrol
man will be Immediately taken to the near
est station house and an entry made on
the -blotter" in the name manner as in
other cases of arrest. Heretofore specials
in making arrests always turned their
prisoners over to a regular cop. who was
recorded on the -blotter" as having made
the arrest, and the special was put down
as the complainant in the case. .
Where burglaries have been committed
and the crooks captured by a special the
regular cop on the beat invariably got a
complaint FLOR failing to discover a burglary
and apprehend the perpetrators" ard was
brought up on charges. Even il the special
brought his man into the station house
unaided, the case would be turned over to
a cop on reserve, and the special would
be entered on the blotter as merely the
complainant.
In the late troubles on the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit ines Commissioner Bingham got
an insight into the standing of the special.
The road had several hundred special cops
employed, and while they jagged OBJ
streperous passengers from the cars, they
didn't make arrests. Persons whom they
charged with disorderly conduct and assault
were turned over TO the regular police.
With Commi ssioner Bingham's new order
in effect and the status of the special plainly
defined, the Police Department will nov
lave more than two thousand supernumer-
airy cops, regularly appointed and sworn In
by the Commissioner, although still in the
employ and pay Of private individuals and
corporations.
Commissioner Bingham appointed yes
terday sixty-siX special patrolmen for the
New York Transportation Company, Forty
ninth street and Eighth avenue, whose
chauffeurs are on strike.
