MILLIONAIRE MINE OWNER LA
BILE TO INDETERMINATE SEN
TENcE IN PRISON.
D.v0RCE SUIT CAUSE OF TROUBLE
SECURES SEPARATION FROM WO.
MAN WHOM HE Welded AS
A "coW PUNcHER."

Chicago, jan l6.-Edward r. Tufts,
feputed to be millionaire and owner
of a number of valuable mines In Mon
tana and other Northwestern states,
has been found guilty of perjury and
unless he obtains new trial will be
compelled to serve an indeterminate
sentence of from one to fourteen years
in the penitentiary The legal trou-
bles of Mr.. Tufts originated with a
divorce suit which he instituted
against his wife, whom he had mar
ried while he was "cow puncher'
on a Western ranch. He gained for.
tune through mining enterprises and
later, it is declared, while his wife
was in New York, came to this city
and obtained divorce on the grounds
Of dcsertion. When Mrs. Tufts heard
of the divorce she returned to Chicago
and secured the indictment of her hus-
band, charging that she had not de-
serted him and that his evidence to
that effect was perjured. During the
trial, which has just closed, Tufts took
the stand and swore that all the evil
dence he had given at the divorce trial
was true.
He was released on bail pending an
appeal to the higher. courts.

ST. PAUL BROKER susPENDs.
James Doran Has Liabilities Esti.
mated at 100000.

st. Paul, Jan. Thames Doran. who
has been doing business in the Ma
tional German-American Bank build
ing as a stock broker, has closed his
doors and suspended business. 1t is
understood that Mr.. Doran has been
Operating extensively and that he has
been a persistent bear.
The constantly and aggressively ris-
ing market has been too much for him
and after using all his available prop
erty In an attempt to carry himself
along and protect his patrons he has
been obliged to quit for the reason
that he has no further money or prop
erty out of which any money may be
realized.
1t Is not known to what extent he
is involved, but it is stated that his
liabilities are probably over 100000.
It is not believed that any serious
financial difficulties will result to any
body else on account Of the failure,
inasmuch as the patrons OF the estab.
lishment have been as rule men OF
financial strength whose losses will
not seriously embarrass them.

in Hoilister Murder.

in Hollister Murder.
Chicago, Jan. 16.-Richard @. WINS,
self-confessed murderer of Mrs. Frank
lin C. Hollister, has been subjected to
a severe examination by the police in
the effort to obtain from him the
names of his accomplices, it being
thought possible that Mrs. HOLSTER
was kept a prisoner during a part OF
the day. WINS declared that he had
no acoomplices and that he alone COM
mitted the crime. During the exam
nation the aged father of WINS sat in
the room with the tears streaming
down his face, hoping that mitigation
of his sons offense might be found in
the fact that others were with him at
the time the woman was killed. When
the examination was concluded the
old man asked his son:
did you really do this alone?"
Yes, did 1t alcne," replied the
son.
1t Is the intention of the police to
push the case against WINS with as
much rapidity as possible.

Senator Bacon Objects to Participa-
tion in Moroccan Conference.
Washington, Jan. 16.-In the senate
Mr.. Bacon introduced the following
resolution:
Resolved. BY the senate, that In.
reference with or participation in any
controversy between European gov
ernments relating to European inter-
national questions is a violation Of the
well settled. well defined policy of this
government which has been recog-
nized and observed for more than q
century past.
Mr.. Bacon stated frankly that he had
been induced to offer the resolution
by the action taken by the senate on
his Moroccan resolution. He com.
mented on an article In the Washing
ton Post which told of permission
given by Secretary Root to the writer
to examine all the papers relating to
the participation OF the United States
in the Algeciras conference and said
he had no doubt that statements In the
article were inspired by the secretary
Of state.
Mr.. Lodge asked Mr.. Bacon II he
was prepared to say that the article
was entirely upon the authority Of
Secretary Root.
Mr.. Bacon challenged Mr.. Lodge
and later Mr.. Aldrich to obtain from
Secretary Root q disayowal OF that
portion OF the article, which he held
to b disrespsctful to the senate.

RABcock SAYS IT'S UNTRUE
Not Piqued Because He Failed to Land
BIG chairmanship.

Not Piqued Because He Failed to Land
Big Craftsmanship.
Washington, Jan. 1S.-When the
house met Mr.. Babcock (Wis.) at once
took the floor on q question OF per-
sonal privilege. He based this on
statement In . local newspaper en-
titled How Came Babcock to Rebel"
and which gave as q reason for his
opposition to Joining Arizona and New
Mexico as one state his pique at not
being made chairman of the appropri-
Rtions committee.
Mr.. Payne. the Republican floor
leader, said while he should not OBJ
iect in this instance he did not want a
precedent made of this case, as he did
not regard the story as raising Ques-
ton of personal privilege.
IF am not entitled to the floor on
Q question OF privilege do not want
it," replied sIr. Babeock with some
feeling. IF when member Is totally
misrepresented IL that Is not a matter
OF personal privilege don't know
what is"
Speaker Cannon remarked that as
no objection had been made he was
not called upon to pass upon whether
the matter presented was or was not
one Of privilege. "The gentleman will
proceed" he said.
The statement, Mr.. BabcOck repeat
cd. totally misrepresented him and. he
also believed, the so-called "Stal-
warts" which he understood meant
the house organization. He had. he
said. never been an applicant for the
chairmanship Of the appropriations
committee. He had not wanted that
chairmanship and had 1t been ten
dered him he should have declined 1t,
''as did not feel that under the cir
.cumstances could have filed It to
the satisfaction OF the house."
As to statehood Mr.. Babcock said he
had always been opposed to joining
Arizona and New Mexico as one state
and had always opposed It. AS to his
views on the tariff Mr.. Babcock said
they had not changed. He presented a
resolution adopted by the Wisconsin
delegation In congress Jan. IA. 1905, In
favor Of revision and said while bow
ing as Q party man to the prOgrame
he still adhered to the opinion that
revision should be had.
There was no reply to Mr.. Rabcock's $
statement and when he concluded
some Of his colleagues applauded.

RAILROADS WELD CLUB.

Dallas, Tex, Jan. i6.-John G. Hun
ter. secretary of the Dallas CONNER
cial club, announces that the proposed
visit of the Texas Commercial clubs
to Northern and Eastern cities had
been abandoned because of the high
rates demanded by Eastern railroads
to carry the party and he declared the
railways had adopted this means as a
club against advocates of railway rate
legislation. He asserted the roads did
not wish to have the Texas men visit
Washington at this time, as was pro-
posed, because many of them were
pronounced advocates Of rate legisla-
tion. Commercial bodies of several
Texas cities were to have taken the
trip, all plans for which had been
made in the belief that the roads
would grant satisfactory rates.

INSURANCE SIDE LIGHTS.
Methods Employed for Couging the
Hard Worked Agent.

. -.
During the recent scandal and the
airing Of insurance methods in general
which followed, one Of the tenderest
spots of that business was left UNI
touched. 1t Is the system known In
the parlance of Industrial insurance
workers as arrears and advances"
The taking of arrears and advances
occurs weekly on the book Of every
agent, when the agent must pay for
each week on every policy which is
beyond the grace period allowed by the
company, namely -four weeks"
Specifically it uld appear easy
to obey the company's rules or-sup-
posed rules; but the cancelling of a
policy or policies might precipitate
what is known as thrown Off claim
Ing" whereby the company refuses
to pay further special salary until a
sufficient number Of substantial appli-
cants are approved to offset the can
cellations. So it may seem expedi-
emit to the needful agent, to pay dol
lar for the current week, rather than
to lose the prospect of receiving fifteen
for the week following. He thereby
borrows money from the company at
a large rate Of interest one dollar for
the loan of fifteen for one week-and
If he wishes to retain this loan he
must pay for the week following.
Gradually but almost surely, it be-
comes case Of the Spider and the
Fly"
Unless he be an uncommonly good
writer, or an exceptionally wary man,
the web tightens and his source Of

livelihood wanes. until he is finally
forced from that field Of labor, to be
followed by another whose experience
is most likely to be a repetition Of his
predecessors.
This stupendous gouging system Is
startling In its vastness, for about
two hundred thousand men are en-.
gagged in lis vocation Throughout the
country as agents, and the amount Of
money thus obtained by one company
alone employing about fifteen thou
sand mem, Is upwards Of one million
dollars annually. The officials resort
to many methods Of intrigue to pre-
vent the real mission Of the arrears
and advance" manipulations from be-
coming apparent to the agents, among
which is the lacking Of placards In the
offices forbidding agents to pay, on in
surances which is beyond the COM
pany's grace period. To the expert
enced agent It reads, 1--WE know you
will pay"
why this subtle system OF graft
has remained almost unmolested for
more than thirty years is a subject
for conjecture.
