Philadelphia, June 29.-The unhap-

lnfelicity came when John Clayton

that are not clear he -disinherited her
and sent her to the st. Josephs con-

came acquainted with Thompson
through children by his first wife.
and when it was discovered that she
was corresponding with him she was

PRESENT SHOPS
Of Wheeling G. Lake Erie Co. Are to
Remain in Canton, While New
Ones Are to Be Built
at Brewster.

The article in yesterdays News
relative to the locating of Wheeling &
Lake Erie shops at Brewster caused
the board of trade to look into the
matter, as this live and boosting body
was the means of the shops being 10.
Gated here and there is a contract on
file with the railroad company that
the shops are to remain in Canton for
at least ten years under penalty of for
feiting the bonus given the company
Officials of the company admit that
they expect to build additional shops
at the new town of Brewster but that
the ones now in operation in Canton
will not only stay here as per con-
tract, but that in all probability addi-
tions will be made in the not far dis
tant future that will materially add
to the present working force. So it
can be authoritatively stated that
while the shops now in operation in
Canton will remain here, at the same
time new ones will be built at Brew
ster.

UNDER FIRE
Witnesses in Wisconsin
Insurance investigation
Refuse to Answer Any
Questions Which Might
lncrirninate Them.

Milwaukee, Wis, June 29.-Wit-
nesses refused to answer questions put
by the Wisconsin insurance investi-
eating committee on the ground that
they might incriminate themselves.
Members of the committee sat up and
took notice when this situation de-
veloped and now hope to get at the
bottom of some things more sensation
al than mere technical violations OF
the insurance laws.
George B. Mayer, president of May
er Boot and Shoe company; Otto W.
Pagel, cashier of the Pritzlaff Hard.
ware company, and William P. jain
were the, witnesses who declined to
tell whether they had received money
or other valuable returns on policies
Mr.. Pagel has been employed by
Pickand Stubbs, assistant general
manager of the Northwestern Mutual.
Mr.. Pagel said he had confined his
activity as agent for the most part
to fellow employees Of the Pritzlaff
company but he admitted that he had
written some other policies.
did you write policy for Fred G.
Pritzlaff?" asked James L. O'Connor,
attorney for the committee.
Eyes sir about four years ago
wrote a policy for Mr. Pritzlaff for
$25,000. 1t was twenty-year tiae
policy and my commission was fifty
per cent Of the first premium
What did you do with the commits
sion?"
Pagel did not answer but he sat
staring vacantly at Mr.. O'Connor for
a painfully long interval Then At
torney e. H. Bottum, who had enter
ed the room while Mr.. Pagel was de-
liberating, interposed and requested
the committee to advise the witness
that he need not answer, If he felt
that. his answer might subject him to
prosecution for a crime.

SPECIAL
Legislation Was Ground
on Which Tax Inquis-
itors Were Knocked
Out.

Columbus, O., June 29.-The tax in
quisitors are nothing if not persist
ent Though the supreme court ON
Tuesday put them out of BUSINESS. they
do not propose to give up the fight
and are preparing to get ,- bill
through the legislature re-creating
their office. When the legislature re-
assemblies they will be on hand to
push the matter They want to get
measure through that will stand
the court test of general character
and uniform application. 81.
The court never handed down de-
cisions wiz ich received greater &C,
claim than did those of Tuesday.
which completely wipe from the stat
utes the iniquitous tax inquisitorship
system.
BY methods most questionable, for
years, tax inquisitors have been get
ting enormous sums out of their ,yo-
cation, and in Franklin county alone
their grab has amounted to hundreds
of thousands of dollars.
The decisions cut one inquisitor out
OF fees amounting to nearly $50 900
in this county, which have been, tied
up since last August, when the audi
tor was enjoined from, paying the
same on the ground that the laws
were unconstitutional. The decisions
were given in two cases. one from
Hamilton county, in which the laws
were upheld, and the other from
Montgomery county, in which they
were declared invalid.
NOT UNIFORM.
The Hamilton county decision was
reversed and that of Montgomery
county affirmed.
! The laws we're declared to be no
good because while they were or
general nature they were not of uni
form application, and hence were
special legislation. ...--.
| Under the law men were named in
various counties to search out and
put upon the tax duplicate personal
property upon which taxes were
evaded. The inqmsftors received
! compensation in the form of a per-
centage of the taxes collected
through their efforts, which in some
instances has run into large sums.
Mr.. Bowman, however, has been very
conservative in his operations.
The decision of the supreme court
will prevent further work being done
by the inquisitors in all Of the coun-
ties where they have been employed
The first law providing for the ap-
pointment of inquisitors was enacted
in 1885. 1t provided that men might
be employed in the four counties of
Cuyahoga, Lucas and Franklin. In
1888 a general law was passed to sup
plant the former special act. This
act provided for "a. compensation
amounting to not more than 20 per
cent. of the taxes collected.

REASON FOR CHANGE
City Engineer Says tie impossible
to Take Up Brick Pavement
Where Cement Filler
is Used.

w. e. Sarver, city engineer, in an
interview Friday afternoon regarding
the changing of the Walnut street
paving contract from cement filler to
tar said:
After a thorough inspection of both
the cement and the filed streets It
has been decided that for general du-
rability the tar is far superior.
Owing to solidity of cement filed
streets the three layers of tar at the
curb and one at intervals of about
fifteen feet is not sufficient 10 allow
for the expansion and contraction with
the result that they will raise up at
intervals and not stand the strain of
traffic and will consequently break
Also in relaying the brick, after
repairing, for laying sewer. gas and
water mains the brick cannot be taken
up as in tar filled streets and there
fore satisfactory job of relaying
cannot be done.
Although there will be an additional
cost of about four cents a square
yard the contract is still far below the
original estimate of Engineer Sarver
and the benefits to be derived will
more than compensate for the change,
SO he believes.

Judge Olcott could speak for him in
a clear round voice that could be heard
all over the room.
Judge Olcott then asked that the
plea stand with the privilege of with
drawing it to make any motions me-
cessary by ruesday. Tnls was granted
and Thaw taken back to the Tombs.
Pittsburg, June 29.-When Harry
Kendall Thaw comes to trial in New
York courts evidence from this city
will be produced to show that not
only did the young millionaire know
all about the relations of his wife,
Evelyn Nesbit. with Stanford White
before Thaw won her away from the
New York architect, but his mother
also knew the whole story. In fact,
Mrs. Thaw made the young woman
confess to her relations with White
previous to the marriage of the young
couple here in the parlor of Rev. Dr.
w. l.. McEwan, Thaw's mothers pas
tor. Mrs. Thaw thereupon made Eve
lyn promise never to meet or speak
with a certain woman of this city
again, and she has kept her promise
GAVE HER TO WHITE.
The woman with whom Evelyn was
to break all relations was the one who
took her to New York, introduced her
to White and turned her over to him,
saying: Nov, stick to him. He has
money and entire He will be the
making of YOU" That was the start
of the career which has resulted in
notoriety for her and a cell in the
Tombs murderers' row" for her young
husband.
All this will be brought out at the
trial of the case to show that Thaw
made no recent discovery regarding
his wife and White. The name of
the woman who introduced them also
will be brought out, and will make
another big sensation to add to the
already long list. The Thaws now
are endeavoring to prevent this evil
dence being gathered here, and the
woman is being urged to leave the
city. 1t has been said she has left,
but the neighbors deny this
DETECTIVE is RETAINED.
Roger O'Mara, a famous detective of
this city, has been retained by the
Thaws and will leave for New York
in the morning. He will work up
the case at this end to show Thaw's
erratic movements here, and to help
establish the insanity claim.
Thaw's career here never was such
as to build him reputation for be-
ing we'll balanced. Socially he was
an outcast. because of bad habits
known to every man about town, and
even society, whose members usually
forgive men, closed their portals to
him and his wife. -

BECAUSE some people have crit icised him for his taste for hunt ing, asserting it undignihed, it is stated that President Roosevelt has decided to abanuon his devotion to that sport. There are many people who will be unable to see why the president should show such deference to the opinions of a lot of busybodies. One Of the causes of his endearment to the masses of the American people has been his love for healthy and ex- hilirating out of door sports. The attitude of the critics of the presi- dentin this matter recalls Macau- ley's assertion with regard to the attitude of the Puritans of Crom- wells time toward bull and bear batting. They ''were not opposed to the pastime out of sympathy for the animals. but because others were deriving sport therefrom.v

DorntY appropriate would be ihe appelation Gave of Wiuds' as ap- piled to tbe court room of the San- ta Cruz county cours house. Not only do lawyers from ali parts of Arizona congregate there to fan hot air, bat owing to the faulty ventilation of the room it is neces- sary to hoist windows to keep the air from poisonous contamination, making 1t draugbty and very disagreeable to all who nave to re- main there. Judge Doan says he will have the room properly ven- tilated another term of court, If he has to come down beforehand and chop hole or two in the ceil ing himself, with an ax. There was some fault somewhere in the construction of the building, or so large and so important room as that would not have been left without good method for venti- lation that would not subject peo- pie having to remain therein to continual danger of catching cold.
