Binghamton, N Y, and member Of
the senate of that State, accused with
George w. Beavers OF conspiracy to de-
fraud the Government, was found not

the Jury was seemingly popular in the
courtroom and there was great dem
onstration.
The verdict OF the jury was returned
shortly before 4 O'Clock and after the

four hours in celebrating upon the law
and evidence. Members of the irIry the
defendants counsel and the Spectators
crowded around Green to give him their
congratulations.
II was as confident of my acauittai
gentleman. as / am conscious of nv
innocence" said Green. 81 could not

not so confident, that the jury could or
would return any other verdict man

KITTY THE KISSER GETS
TEN DAYS IN PRISON
Heartlessly Planted Smack on Lips OF
Feeble Old Man, Who Called
Police.

PHILADELPHIA, March 9.-The os-
culatory propensities of Katherine Jor-
dan, a well-dressed young woman from
Darby, caused her arrest and a sen
tence OF ten days in prison.
The girls long suit is indicated by the
name that the police have dubbed her,
kitty the Kisser." The story IS 10
the effect that a few nights ago staid
member OF the bar. with white hair and
judicial aspect, was thrown into fits on
Walnut street, near Eleventh, by the ac-
ton Of a young woman, who without
warning threw her arms about his neck
and gave him a big juicy smack.
The lawyer, according to Policeman
CuFtie, made a complaint and denounced
the action OF the "Kisser" as out
rageOus.
Policeman Curtis agreed with the le-
sal authority. and set a watch for the
girl, who. he was told, was a frequent
visitor on Walnut street, TO the ccnster-
nation of some of the men she kissed
and the delight of others.
Curtis testified that he watched Miss
Jordan and saw her kiss two men.
When she made for a feeble old man,
who looked as il he couldn't protect
himself, Curtis interfeTed and locked her
up. The girl had nothing TO say, and
MAGISTRATE Kochersperger, after lectur-
ing her on the improperly OF her con-
duct, sent her to Moyamensing.

Consular Bill Meets
With Many Obstacles
Members of House Strongly Resent PROPOSE
ton to Place in Presidents Hands Pre-
negatives Peculiarly Their Own.

Congressional opposition to losing grip
on any patronage has nearly accom-
plished its work in dealing with the
consular reorganization bill in which
Secretary Root has been so deeply inter
ested, and which President Roosevelt
has strongly urged.
The anxiety for patronage power has
grown in the House with the aCCumula-
ton of evidence that the President was
disposed to take away its long-cherished
prerogatives and consult Senators only
in regard to appointments.
The Senate consented to pass the con-
sular reorganization bill as prepared by
Secretary Root and Senator Lodge. 1t
Is stil doubtful whether the House will
pass any bin on the subject, but at any
rate IL is assured that it will not pass
IL to say that consul general or a
consul might be transferred by the
Presidents orders from one place TO an

Iron curtains have been placed before

ion. Everything that looked in the di
rection of applying the merit system &c
the consular system has been stricken
out. The House does not want civil
service in the consular system, as IL
would make q thing of the past the visit
of the member Of the House to the ex-
ecutiVe mansion to recommend a friend
or a political hacker to some lucrative
post abroad.
In it's revised form the bbill Is
made less dangerous to patronage than
it was when IT passed the Senate. OPP
position TO it, however, is far from being
removed. There is opposition based or
the ground that ii viii cut down the
pay of some OF the men holding the most
lucrative posts. A specific case in which
there will be q reduction in case the bill
goes through is that OF the office OF
consul general in London. This place
is one OF the finest jobs in the be-
