SUIT on TURNER VOTES.
n. n. Hyde's and MarceIIuS Hsrtiey's Heirs
successfully Demur.

The Mercantile Trust Company has a
suit pending in the Supreme Court to re-
cover 81 900, $50. as the balance due by
George V. Turner. to whom the company
advanced large sums in loans secured by
his notes. Turner was Cen Louis Fitz-
gerald's private secretary when the latter
was president Of the Mercantile Trust Com
pany. In the matter OF the loans he was
acting as a dummy for Gen. Fitzgerald
Henry B. Hyde, Marcellus Hartley, John E.
Searles and William n. Coler, DR., all Of
whom guaranteed the notes both by in
dorsement and in a sealed instrument de-
livered to, the Mercantile Trust Company.
These men, save Hyde and Hartley, who are
dead, are named as oodefendants with Tur-
ner. In their cases the legatees Of the
estates have been named as parties de-
PENDANT.
This suit is one Of the results of Paul
Morton's housekeeping in the Equitable
Life Assurance Society. Turner was nsed
by Henry B. Hyde, Gen. Fitzgerald and the
transfer to the Mercantile. Trust Company
in 1894 Of certain securities and papers held
by the Western National Bank as collateral
against loans which the company had made
to John W. Young. the Knickerbocker Min
eral and Timber Company and the Amity
Land and Irrigation Company
These holdings we're objected to by the
State Banking Department as an asset of
the Western National Bank, and for this
reason wefe transferred to the trust com
others were stockholders in the Western
National Bank. More than 500. 900 was
taken from the treasury of the Equitable
Life Assurance Society, apparently without
any authority, and applied 10 this loan
Hyde, james W. Alexander, as president
of the Equitable Life, assumed the entire
obligation, amounting to more than 1000
900, and agreed to hold the guarantors
harmless. The contention was that the
for the Equitable Life, which was a large
stockholder in the Western National Bank.
President Morton repudiated the obliga-
ton and instructed counsel for the Equit-
Company to rSkurn the $1,000 o Then the
Mercantile Trust Company went after the
guarantors.
The complaint asks that the court decide
what amounts the company is entitled to
collect from the respective defendants
and what share of the Judgment shall fall
OF the individual legatees of the Hyde and
Hartley estates.
The legatees demurred collectively. on
the ground that the causes of action against
them and the other defendants were i'm
properly Joined. The demurrers came
up before Supreme Court Justice O'Gorman
| recently, and he upheld them, on the ground
that the suits against the legatees are OF an
equitable nature, while the actions against
the other defendants are such as can be
! tried before a jury.
He holds also that no legatee is liable for
more than the amount of his inheritance,
and, therefore, is in quite a different posi-
ton from the other direct defendants.
Leave is granted to the company to amend
its pleadings 80 as to conform with these
findings.

dence was given to-day in the trial OF the
Rev. Edward NJ. Freeman, charged with

building, and wished to know if ! would do
it. he suggested that it be fred Fear the
stove. l told him l did not want anything
to do with it, but suggested q fuse, and went
to the house and got a piece Of fuse and a
bunch of cotton which was in the pantry,
my wife giving them to ne.
Il gave them to Brother Freeman n
told him ! did not propose to have anything
whatever to do with it. He said he did not
know how to fire a fuse, and l told him
l could do hat and showed him how 1t was
done, laying the fuse On a stone in the cow
barn.
-The fuse burned, but the cotton did not,
and Brother Freeman said that would not
do; that there must be no trap bou 1t.
He said it would be best to fire it at the stove
and make it appear that it had caught from
the stove. Coal oil should be put on, he
said, so it would be sure to burn,
Brother Freeman said it would be a
blessing to the community il we had a new
church building, up to date and in town.
ans that God would bless the mar who
would put the old church out Of the way.
He said it ought to be fired by some one
who TODD well in the community and who

the night the church was burned, and after
the congregation left Mr.. Freeman asked
him again to burn the church, but he re-
fused.
The minister told him, he said, that there
was $500 insurance on 1t and that would go
q long way toward building a new church.
When he saw Mr.. Freeman again the
minister said he had walke across the fields
to his home, ana that the fire broke out
about twenty minutes after he left the
church. Witness did not know whether
Mr.. Freeman fired 1t or not.

SHAW FIGHTING CUMMINS.
says His Reelection would Mean a Repu.
dlation Of the Policy OF Protection.


NEWTON, Ia, June 2.-That Gov, A. B.
Cummins and the Democratic party stand
upon the same platform with reference to
the tariff issue Is the charge which Sec
rotary Leslie NJ. Shaw made before a big
audience here this afternoon. The pre-
diction was also made that in the approach
ing election the Democratic party will never
refer to free trade, but will only ask for
revision of certain schedules, the same as
Gov. Cummins has. been doing in his ca m
paign for a third term and as leader Of the
Progressive" movement in this State.
This afternoon Secretary Shaw devoted
most of his time to showing that Cummins,
in making a campaign for tariff revision at
this time, 10 out Of harmony with the national
administrator. He SAID IN part;
Since his election in 1904 President Roose-
welt has submitted three messages to Con:
gress. in no one Of which did he recommend
tariff revision. He has also made many
speeches, but In no one has he recon-
mended revision. Since that platform was
adopted Congress has been in session an
aggregate Of over ten months and the ways
and Means Committee, which must originate
tariff legislation, has formulated no re-
vision bill, nor has it considered the forma-
tion OF such a bill. Since the adoption OF
that platform the Congressional caucus
has met again and again, but 1t has recon-
mended no tariff revision"
Referring to Gov. Cummins's frequent
characterization of the DiDgley tariff law as
a robbers tariff " Secretary Shaw said.
Il say to you that the nation is watching
this phase Of the Iowa contest, and the
takes it upon himself to speak Of the effects OF
tie Dingley tariff as robbery, will be under,

OWN THEIR OWN WATER WORKS.
East Orange Experimenting in Municipal
Ownership.

MILLBURN, n. j., June 2.-The citizens Of
East Orange took possession to-day Of their
new 81, 900, 900 water plant here. The
bronze tablet commemoratlng the evolution
Of the idea and the city officials who carried
it out was unveiled by former Mayor Bruen.
David L.. Pierson, historian of Orange
Chapter, Sons of the American Revolu-
ton, broke out an American flag on the.
lawn in front of the pumping station, and
the Orange Mountains echoed with patriotic
songs' and the cheers, Of the multitude.
Mayor William Cardwell was to have un-
yelled the tablet, but he was taken i'll yes
terday with typhoid fever.
The water of the new plant is supplied
by forty artesian wells sunk TO an average
depth Of $50 feet. Finally, the water goes
into a big covered reservoir in South Orange
township $50 feet above sea level. The
pumping station is a big brick building
surrounded by lawns filled with flower
beds. The environments give the station
the aspect of a fine public park, Among
the speakers at the opening were Farnham
Yardley and Superintendent Arthur A.
Reimer of the water department.
The scheme of municipal ownership was
due primarily, it lie said, to overoherging
by the Orange Water Company. The
citizens kicked both against the quality
of the water and the price. Five years
ago they decided to have a water plant of
their own. The Orange Water Company
then offered to sell out for ss25, oCO. Event
ually the city bought the plant for $3.50 600,
issuing thirty year bonds to pay for it.
The company took the bonds. After that
the city started to get an independent sup
ply. Big tracts of land were bought. On
a part Of them the city started a municipal
farm, where it raises fodder for the fire
department and other city horses, and
rye field. Plans are being made by the
State Forestry Commission for turning
part of the watershed into a forestry pre-
serve.

CONSOLIDATION PROFITABLE.
Outside Roads Entering Chicago Over
Elevated Lin Show Increased Business.

CHICAGO, June 2.-The first financial
report issued by the Aurora, Elgin and
Chicago Railroad, since. the consolidation,
has Just been put out, and it is of special
interest because it reflects the highly bene-
fetal results of the coalition,
Since the present working arrangement
with the Metropolitan elevated was in
augurated the earnings of the latter com
pany have been materially augmented.
Before a great while the Chicago and Oak
Park elevated will be working under a
similar arrangement with one or more trac-
ton lines, tentative agreements having been
already entered into.
The Metropolitan elevated is also prepar-
ing to bring the trains of other traction
lines down town, and in like manner the
Northwestern and South Side lines viii
doubtless before many years have similar
arrangements with interuban companies.
In the territory around Chicago there
is a vast amount of traction construction
and the elevated roads furnish the only
method by which the outside electric lines
can get their trains into the heart Of the
city.
