In the hands of the Lord now and
would not touch her for the world"
At the meeting yesterday afternoon
after few preliminary remarks, it was
decided that the Lord wanted an altar
service, and a rude bench which was
upon the platform was taken n few feet
toward the congregation, which knelt
about II and prayers for the "unsancti-

Near the building little clusters of
neghbors had gathered to freely vent

Children as Subjects
Regarding the proposed slaughter of
innocent children, the neighbors cannot
say too much and several complaints
have been made to the town marshal.
It is understood that the husband of
at least one woman has complained TO
that official regarding the actions of
his wife.
One member of the ngregation, a
woman who it is understood is fore
most in the slaughter of the inno-
cents" was taken with peculiar re-
lgious frenzy a few years ago. when
she burned all the good clothing of
her children and a large amount Of
household furniture and sold the chick
ems because they were wicked"
The frenzy of the present meetings
is likely TO break up several households,

until the evening attending holiness
meetings, when they step into the little
chHrch on their way home and there

until late hour, only to go through
the same day after day.
The neigh bors say they would not be
surprised at ANY crazy freak" and, ac-
cording to their say the days of Sa
vonarola may again be enacted in the
quiet little foothil town.
The people of the sect 'believe that
burning at the stake is the highest
glory Of the Christian.
The marshal says that nothing des-
perate will be done.

Sensational Attacks Made Upon Mil.
llonalre's Reputation in Notori-
Gus case-consplrsoy Charges
Admitted
BY Associated Press.

/
PITTSBURG, Pa. July 19.-Follow
ing a sensational attack on the char
acter of Augustus Hartje, I'm which !
was alleged that he had taken tw,
different women frequently to a dues
tlonable resort, the real sensation o
the day in the Hartje divorce tria
eliminated this afternoon when Judg,
Robert $. Franzer admitted under bit
ter protest of opposing counsel testi
mony relatir~ to the charges of con
spiracy again John L. welshons, Q
prominent merchant, Augustus Hartje
the libellant, and Clifford Hooe, the
negro coachman now in jail on perjury
charges for alleged false swearing Ii
the case.
Welshons who was called by Mrs
Hartje's counsel, told a clear story OF
how the deposition was secured from
Hooe. He said that Hooe then left the
city and the witness told of having
given him various small sums OF
money at different times.
Looked Like BIackmalI
This looked like blackmail, the wit
ness said
would be sentenced to the pententiary
for perjury if he did not stick to the
original story he told. Welshons story,
it is said. comedies very closely to the
statement of Hooe, relating to the case,
which is i'm the possession of the dis
trict attorney.
This was the first attempt during
the trial to present evidence of an al
legged conspiracy, which Mrs. Hartjes
counsel declare was formed to defame
her. Welshons is a close friend of
Augustus Hartje and is accused, with
Hartje and Hooe of conspiring against
Mrs. Hartje.
Hooe. months ago, made a deposition
in which he said he had been intimate
with Mrs Hartje. He afterward re-
pudiated 1T and is now in Jail on a
charge of perjury.
Welshons maintained steadily that
Augustus Hartje knew nothing of the
fact that he had given Hooe money,
and admitted that Hartje's attorneys
had told Hooe that if he was not tell
ing the truth they would prosecute him.
New Line of Defense Opened
Attorney ]. Scott Ferguson, for Mr..
Hartje, said they had a letter showing
that the defense had taken the de-
position of witness knowing that his
testimony was false and that they
also would show that an attempt had
been made to tamper with witnesses.
Mrs. Hartje's counsel opened UP a
new line in the defense by presenting
evidence to show that Hartje had
visited a disorderly house and had met
an immoral woman there. A servant
from the house is to so testify and the
coachman is to corroborate the testi-
mony.
More testimony on handwriting was
also taken during the day, when Sam
uel c. Malone, an expert of Baltimore,
was called for Mrs. Hartje. He testi-
fed along the same lines as those on
that side which had preceded him.

JUDGE 0LC0TT DELIVERS VAL
UABLE PAPERS
Wife of Murderer Visits Attorney
Hartridge and Makes Affidavit
Covering History of Her
Life
BY Associa ted Press.

by ASSOCla ted EreSS.
NEW YORK, July 19-Peace has
apparently been declared among the
lawyers who at various times have rep
resented Harry *. Thaw since the
night he shot and killed Stanford White
on the Madison Square roof garden.
Former Judge Olcott of the firm of
Black, Olcott. Gruber e. Bonynge to-
day turned over to Clifford w. Hart
ridge, Thaw's personal attorney. all
the papers ne had in the case, with the
exception of the reports of private de-
tectives which have been made to him
since the murder was committed.
AS a reason for retaining these Judge
Olcott said there was n question in his
mind as to whether they belonged to
Thaw or to the person who paid for
them.
He did not Indicate who the person
was who paid for the detectives
services.
The turning over of the papers by
Judge Olcott will undoubtedly result in
a dismissal of the writ issued against
his firm yesterday at the instance of
Mr.. Hartridge, to show cause why the
papers in the case should not be relin-
quished to Thaw's personal counsel.
The writ is returnable tomorrow.
Court Hears Arguments
Justice Mclean in the supreme court
today heard arguments on the appli-
cation of Thaw's counsel for an abso-
lutte writ of prohibition directed against
the district attorney and the grand jury
to stop the taking of testimony against
Thaw without the prisoner being rep
| resented. Decision was reserved.
Mrs. Harry Thaw, after visiting her
husband in the Tombs today, went to
| the office of Mr.. Hartridge and
made another affidavit covering a
history of her life since the time she
came to New York. Mrs. Thaw had
previously made such a statement to
Mr.. Olcott.
Mr.. Hartridge called on Thaw late
this afternoon. When he came out of
the Tombs he said:
There is not much more I can say
at this time. We have all the necessary
papers and certain letters that were in
the office of Judge Olcott, and 1 believe
that now everything will move along
smoothly. Harry is in a good frame of
mind and apparently glad that his legal
affairs have been Strengthened out at
last"

A dispatch from San Salvador stated
that shortly before the armistice was
agreed to a force of 10000 Guatemalans
attacked the Salvadorean position by
way of Metapam. The fighting lasted
ten hours and. according to the San
Salvador dispatch, resulted in a victory
for the Salvadoreans. Dispatches from
the same source reported an engage

Coming back into what he terms "a private interest made rate." he de- clared You can measure anything but you can't go into a mans head and say what he will take for his share, If he has the making of 1t. The most dangerous thing on earth is for the people to leave 1t to any man to charge you what he thinks is right.

 T don't mean," he declared. "to have a Conner made rate or farmer made rate, but I mean to have a rate so adjusted by law as to give every man square, fair chance and no fair man could object to 1t.
 T came out on that platform. and what kind of fight did I have on my hands7 The machine politicians were against me. the railroad lawyers were against me. and the press in the larg- est measure was against me. I don't mean all the press, but large part of it.. You know as well as do that the people of Alabama didn't have the money to make the fight that the railroads had. You know the fight they made in this town. You know how the railroads att torneys and the railroad agents and the railroad employees were sent broad cast through tEe land.

Conner, indicating The Advertiser corr respondent said: T have been asking The Advertiser time and time again to come out and say where they stood on this issue, whether they were in favor of the control of the State by the raif- road or by the people"
 Referring again to the railroad attor- ney, Mir. Conner read his usual extract from Judge Roulae's speech In which had no business to assume the position of a law-maker. but that his place was In the list of employees, the same as an engineer or anywhere else.
 Towards the close of Mir. Comer's ad- dress. he was interrupted by Chairman Bell, who said: +The report has come to me that in your speech at Piedmont you made some remark comparing those opposed to railroad rate reform to ne- groes. I would like for you 10 state what you did say at that time."
 In answer, Mir. Conner said: Tn this great question before the people of the State, 1t is to decide whether the rail- roads shall take us and tax us as long as the people bear it, and on the other side. whether the people believe the thing should stop. Those of us who believe that the thing should continue had better go to Tuscaloosa and have our heads examined. or black our faces, and kink our hair and go to a negro school"
 The Advertiser correspondent was not present at the Piedmont meeting on account of a misunderstanding as to dates. On the same day. however. that Mir. Conner spoke at Piedmont, he spoke at Jacksonville, and his remarks were practically the same at both places along this line. At Jacksonville he said: Gentlemen of Alabama. If we are going to submit to that without protest, if we won't rise like an ava lanche, as we ought, then I say stop these free white schools of ours and let's black our faces and kink our hair and sell our vote for 30 cents

 The collection Is probably the most complete of it's kind in existence as Secretary Troy. carefully preserved all the proceedings sent him during hls leng term as secretary of the Alabama organization. Tn the collection are pa- pers and opinions by the greatest law years in America and of the world. The collection also contains the price less proceedings of the Alabama Bar Association. Some of the reports of the Alabama Association are practical ly out of print and it IS extremely doubtful if some of them are in ex- istenca beyond those that Mir, Troy presented to the Supreme Court
 The same is practically true of a number of the other series that form the collection. These books had hitherto been In the office of MT. Troy but realizing that it would be more convenient to the lawyers to read the papers at the Lirbrary, the secretary was authorized by the executive conn n1ittee to present the collection to the Supreme Court.
