8 INDICTMENTS AGAINST
TWO MUTUAL MEN
GrannisS and Gillette Held For
Perjury and Forgery.
BOTH RELEASED ON BAIL

Members of the Mecurdy elmer
Circle" Indicted by the Special
Insurance Grand Jury in New
York City.
New York City.-Important steps
were taken toward the punishment of
two of the important figures in the life
insurance scandals of the past seven
teen months when the special Grand
Jury returned indictments against Rob-
ert A. Granniss and Walter r. Gill
lette, both until recently Vice-Presi-
dents of the Mutual Life and for may
years the right hand man of Richard
A. McCurdy.
Six indictments were found against
DR.. Gillette and two against Mr.. Gran
Miss. In five of the indictments DIR.
Gillette is charged with forgery in the
third degree and in the sixth with per-
jury committed before the special
Grand Jury which has been investi-
eating life insurance crime since May
Z. One of the indictments against Mr..
Granniss is for forgery i'll the third
degree and the other merely charges
misdemeanor.
The maximum punishment for per-
jury on Indictment for felony, as in
the case of DR.. Gillette, is twenty
years in State prison. Forgery in the
third degree is punishable with i'm
prisonment for five years. A INSIDE
meanor is punishable with one years
Imprisonment OF a fine of $500. or both.
All of the five indictments for forgery
against DR.. Gillette are based upon the
fraudulent doings of the Mutual Life's
supply department under Andrew C.
Fields and the consequent false entries
in the books of the company, made. it
is alleged. by direction of DR.. Gillette
to conceal the fraud. Falsifying the
books or records of a corporation on
stitutes forgery in the third degree.
The two indicted men were not sub
jected to the humiliation of arrest, ar
engagements having been made with
their counsel to have them within easy
reach at the time the indictments were
filed in court. Both men pleaded not
guilty and were admitted to bail, DR..
Gillette in $4,000 and Mr.. Granniss in
$4,000.
With the rue bills against the two
former officials of the Mutual, the
special Grand Jury brought into court
a presentment which was a scathing
arraignment of the methods in vogue
during the McCurdy regime and in a
sense as significant as the indictments
themselves. 1t was read in court by
Henry f. Joyce, the foreman, amid
profound silence.
The statement of the special Grand
Jury indicates that the same tactics
were resorted to before that body as
before the Armstrong Committee.
where prominent Mutual officials, IN
der cross-eXamination by Charles r.
Hughes regarding the questionable en-
penditures they had authorized. said
that those items could all be explained
by II or other of these officials: F.
Lyman Shortt. a former General Solic-
itor for the Mutual. who died in the
summer of 1905; Louis May, one of the
most active trustees, who has been i'll
his grave for years. and Herrick. who
preceded Robert Olyphant as Chair
man of the Committee on Expendi-
lures. When Mr.. Hughes asked that
the officers referred to be produced as
witnesses. he was met with the state
ment that they were dead.

GOVERNMENT VICTORIOUS
IN REBATE CASES
Meat Packers Found Guilty at
Kansas City.
ILLEGAL RATES ACCEPTED
Armour, Swift, Morris and Cudahy
Convicted of Getting Concessions
From the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy Railway.

Kansas City, Mo.-Armour & Co.,
Swift & Co., Cudahy & Co. and the
Nelson Morris Packing Company were
found guilty in the United States Dis
trict Court here of accepting conces-
sions from the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy Railroad on export shipments
on packing house products.
Judge Smith Mcpherson, of Red Oak.
Iowa, the presiding judge, stated that
sentence would not be assessed until
The case against the Burlington Rail-
way, which is charged with granting
the concession to the packers, is con-
cluded.
The specific case considered, which
IS identical with the others. is that
charging Cudahy & Co. with accepting
a rate of twenty-three cents a hundred
pounds on a shipment of lard to New
York for export to Germany, when the
legal tariff then on file with the Inter-
state Commerce Commission was thir-
ty-ive cents.
The case is unusually important in
the list of rebate trials to come up in
this court, for it is the first time that
any concern has been brought to trial
before a jury on a charge affecting ex-
port rates as applied to the interstate
commerce act.
Counsel for the defendants contend
ed that the court lacked jurisdiction,
which was overruled by Judge McPher-
son, and then that when they signed a
contract covering the twenty-five cen
rate it was legal, and that the Burling-
ton later raised its tariff to thirty-five
cents.
Judge Smith Mcpherson, in his
charge to the jury, explained fully the
law points involved, concluding:
And when the amendatory rates
east OF the Mississippi River were filed
with the commission August 6, and the
defendant knew of the same, it could
not knowingly receive a less rate or
concession than that paid by the gen.
eral public without being guilty of re-
ceiving an unlawful concession, pro-
yided that the same was thus received
by any kind of device as hereinafter re-
cited.
This so because the right, privilege
and liberty of contract usually existing
III ptlSOHS dlu COI DOEdllOuS
is modified and controlled by that pro-
vision of the Constitution which gives
to Congress the right to regulate COM
merce between the States and foreign
nations.
1T is important for you to determine
whether the concession of twelve cents
per hundred after August +, from the
rates covered by the schedules then Oh
file with the commission, was the result
Of a device and whether done with
guilty intent.
1T must have been, before you call
convict, the result of a device and with
a guilty intent, because, if the shipper
did not know it was receiving conces-
sions and did not have a guilty intent,
no crime would be committed. As to
device is meant that which is devised
or formed by design; a c~ontrivance; a
project; a scheme to deceive; a STRATA
gem or an artifice."

TUCKER PUT TO DEATH
Executed at Boston For Murder
of Mabel Page.
Roosevelt Sent Letter Objecting to
Clemency--Condemned Man
Protested Innocence.

Boston, Mass. - Charles L. Tucker
was put to death by electricity for the
murder of Mabel Page in 1904.
Tucker was pronounced dead five
minutes after the current was turned
into his body.
When Tucker arrived in front of the
death chair he drew from his trousers
pocket a brief statement, which he
read. The statement was:
II hope that God will forgive me for
all the wrongs / have ever done in my
past life. 1 forgive everybody who has
ever wronged me. l am at peace with
my Maker. May God have mercy on
my SOUL"
Tucker left a letter to his counsel, in
which he protested his innocence. Gov
ernor Curtis Guild made the following
reply:
James H. Valley, Esq, Attorney:
Dear Sir-I have given careful ON
sideration to your last appeal. l am
%regretfully forced to decline to inter-
fere with The execution of the sentence.
Faithfully yours.
CURTIS GUILD. Jr."
Some of those who participated in
the Faneuil Hall meeting sem a mes
sage to President Roosevelt asking him
to interfere in fuckers behalf. The
Presidents telegram to the Governor
was as follows:
The White House,
Washington. June 10, 1906.
Governor Curtis Guild, Boston. Mass:
Have been requested on behalf of
certain parties in Boston to interfere
with the execution OF Tucker. it being
alleged that it is my duty so to do in
asmuch as l have the power under the
Federal laws.
No showing has been made 70 me
that l have such power. but, without
regard to this, l desire to state to yon
that in my judgment your decision not
to interfere with the carrying out of
the sentence of Tucker seems to me
entirely sound and commands my
hearty sympathy. 1t seems particularly
a case in which there should be no in
reference with the carrying out Of the
sentence. THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
Mabel Page was killed while alone
in her fathers home, neal Weston,
Mass, April /, 1904.
No clews to her slayer were found.
except a rusty knife and a cheap scarf
pin. Charles L. Tucker was arrested
three days later.
The principal evidence against him
was his peculiar travel in the neighbor-
hood of the Page home on the after
noon of the murder. His ownership of
a knife the blade of which had been
broken before j. was concealed was
also brought out against him. Beside
the girls body a Canadian stickpin
was found of which it was proved
Tucker was the owner. He was CON
victed of the murder January %, 1905.

The ancestry of the dog is q topic
which has been much discussed of late
at the French Academy in Paris. M
Boule maintains that as far back as
the pliocene period of geology the ca.
nine family showed much the same di.
visions as it exhibits to-day. There
were the wolf, the fox, and the jackal
tribes and types, and a fossil jaw
taken from pliocene rocks near Puy
shows certain characteristics which
are seen in our own domesticated dogs
of to-day.
Are we to assume, then, that the
dogs of our period represent a much
more ancient and original type of ami.
mails than science would have us hith-
erto believe? If fossil evidences are
trustworthy, the dogs of remote an.
tiquity, so far from having originated
from the wolf stock, may be regarded
as having possessed a distinct person
atty of their own. We may probably
have to go back into the tertiary to
find the primordial stock from which
the wolf, fox, jackal and dog may to-
gether have sprung.-Charles Hallock,
In Forest and Stream.

BUILDING FOOD
To Bring the Babies Around.

When a little human machine Cor a
large one) goes wrong, nothing is so
important as the selection of food to
bring it around again.
"My little baby boy fifteen months
old had pneumonia, then came brain
fever, and no sooner had he got over
these than he began to cut teeth and,
being so weak, he was frequently
thrown into convulsions,' says a Colo.
RADIO mother.
Il decided a change might help. so
took him to Kansas City for a visit.
When We goc there he was so very
weak when he would cry he would
sink away and seemed like he would
die.
when / reached my sisters home
she said Immediately that we must
feed him Grape-Nuts and, although l
had never used the food, we got some
and for a few days gave him just the
juice of Grape-Nuts and milk. He got
stronger so quickly we were soon feed
ing him the Grape-Nuts itself and in
a wonderfully short time he fattened
right up and became strong and we'll.
THAT showed me something worth
knowing and, when later on my girl
came, l raised her on Grape-Nuts. and
she is a strong, healthy baby and has
been. You will see from the little pho
tograph l send you what a strong.
chubby youngster the boy IL now, but
he didn't look anything like that be-
fore we found this nourishing food.
Grape-Nuts nourished 1l.ir back to
strength when he was so weak he
couldn't keep any other food on his
stomach" Name given by Postum Co.,

All children can be built to a more
sturdy and healthy condition upon
Grape-Nuts and cream. The food con-
tains the elements nature demands,
from which to make the soft gray fill

A well fed brain and strong, sturdy
nerves absolutely insure a healthy
body.

KILL INNOCENT RUSSIANS
Murder Done Under Cloak of
Martial Law.
Convictions Obtained on False Evi.
dence Secured by Torture From
Other Victims.

st. petersburg, Russia.-The severity
with which martial law is enforced in
the Baltic provinces is angrily resented
by the Duma. Since January a mill
tary court has been in continuous ses.
sion at Riga condemning great num-
bers to death OH evidence extracted by
torture. Most of the victims are ignor.
ant youths.
According to the D%vatzatia Viek the
Century, the court consists
OF General Arbousoff and Lieutenant
Colonels Herman, Bauman, Wilkovsky
n DreSdOff. The tribunal sits in a
church. Of eight persons recently con-
demne to death six proved an alibi
Il their innocence was confirmed by
witnesses.
Ihe whole inquiry is based upon a
systematic violation of the law, torture
being the chief agent by which weak
minded persons have been brought to
falsely accuse innocent people. The
fortunes inflicted include 1oggings and
the rubbing of salt in to the wounds
and the use of electricity. AT the pres
ent time t~hirty-siX persons are being
tried on different counts.
Three witnesses attest the truth of
the following: Four prisoners were be-
ing transferred from one prison to an
other under charge of Captain Day.
lovsky and a party of soldiers. On
reaching a deserted spot near Grusen-
berg Captain DavlOvsky called a halt,
and addressing the prisoners exhorted
them to confess and to plead guilty to
the charge of ~plundering an Office at
N~adeshda. On their refusing he threat
ened to kill them. He then ordered a
man named Johns to step aside and
think it over. On the man persisting
that he was innocent and knew nothing
of the affair he was made to stand I'D
and was shot on the spot. The same
tate befell a man named Buskman.
The two remaining men, Mortified at
the scene enacted before them and in
order to ave their own lives, falsely
denounced a majority of tL:rty-six sus-
poets now on trial. The details of the
case probably would never have come
to light but for the fact that the second
man shot, although badly wounded,
was not killed. He was found by some
peasants and taken to a hospital,
where he recovered and made a state
ment, from which the foregoing details
have been taken.
Captain Davlovsky, on being accused
of murder and attempted murder,
stated that he ordered the men to be
shot for attempting to escaTe.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

bylocalapplications as they cannot reach the

way to cure deafness, and that is by consti-

the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is lin

Deafness is the result, and unless the inflam-

Later populations arrived from the
