Bryan Replies to a Newspaper
Mans Suggestion
That Roosevelt Had Stolen the
Formers Garments.
UP HILL WORK.
For the President to Bring
About Reforms, He Says.
Because the Party Is Not Behind
the Administration.

New York, July u.-Today's Times
prints the following cable from its cor
respondent at London;
rs it true?" I aselxd Mr.. Bryan yes
terday, that President Roosevelt
caught you in swimming and stole your
clothes? over in America they say that
is what has happened
He did not get all my clothes Mr..
Bryan answered laughingly. and quick
" added, Il doubt whether what ne
did get At him very we'll"
Mr.. Bryan went on: 1T is hard up
hill work for Mr.. Roosevelt TO maks
his administration respond to the coun-
try's evident demand for reforms. for
the country gave him no mandate. The
platform on which he was elected does
not declare that our laws and our gov
ernment should aim at the welfare Of
the whole people. but II a Democratic
president is chosen in 1908 he viii un-
doubtedly represent a party Committed
to this reform idea and will be IN quite
a different situation.
There is no doubt about the peoples
wish in this respect. Views that were
ago are now accepted as sane and nee
essary. A change has come over the
country. An American asked me to-
day. Mr. Bryan. how do YOU explain
the change that has come over some
Of our rich men in respect to their at
titude toward Democratic princip1es7 ?
replied The explanation is very easy.
People who live in a valley watch the
dams above them and If a food Is
threatened they know the higher the
dam the greater the danger and some
of them have made up their minds that
they can not afford to dam public sen
timent any longer
There is another thing to be con
sidered,' Mr.. Bryan remarked after
pause, namely, the ethical movement.
A great many men are beginning to
/ learn that there is something in the
world more valuable than money, and
1t has gratified me to hear of numbers
of cases where men have taken larg-
er view OF their relations to their fell
lows and Of their responsibilities. This
introspection is making some of them
ashamed of the questionable methods
which they have res0rted to IN the
/ past"

Must Pay S20, 900 on Each Of
Two Counts.
Officials of the Road Assessed
$4,000 Each.
COULDN'T MAKE GOOD.
We're Granted Time to Show
Justification of Rebates.
Said They Could Not Get Wit

MAKE GOOD.

Chicago, July 1LzJudge Lands in the
United States district court today sen
fenced the Chicago & Alton road, which
was recently convicted OF granting
illegal rebates at Kansas City to pay
fine of $40, 900 on each. of two counts. or a
total OF $4,000
John Faithorn and Fred A. Wann.
former officials of the road who were
also convicted, were sentenced TO pay
fine of $1,000 each on two counts or a
total of $4,000 each.
The defendants were fined on two
counts of an indictment containing 10
counts. The specific charge, on which
they were convicted was that they had
given to the Schwarzschild & Sulzber-
ger company a rebate of one dollar per
car on all shipments from the Kansas
City plant of the packing company. The
defendants claimed that The charge was
made against them by the packing COM
pany which had the right to levy it be-
cause il owned the track near the plant
and therefore had the right to charge
the railway for trackage. Judge Lam
dis in his instructions practically direct
ed the jury to bring in a verdict of
guilty and after it had been rendered
the attorneys for the railway and for
the individuals asked until today to
show that the rebate was public and
not secret affair
Today the attorneys for the railroad
said they had not been able to bring
witnesses into court to testify because
they feared prosecution themselves. The
court in passing sentence said that he
could see no extenuatng circumstances
IN the granting of the rebates.
After the entering of the sentence the
defendants gave notice of an appeal
The fine inflicted today by Judge Lands
IS identical with that imposed on the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad
IN a similar case by Judge Bethea IN the
United States circuit court.

REFUSED TO SWEAR.
Tom Taggart Declines to Be Examined
Under Oath.

French Lick, Ind, July 11.-Thomas
Taggart. president of the French Lick
Springs Hotel company, acting on ad-
vice of his attorney today refused to
be examined under oath by the auditor
of state and attorney general. He took
the position that while the law permit
ted the state officers to examine the
books of the hotel companies it did not
authorize a forced examination of Off
GERS of a corporation under oath.
The state officers today began an ex-
animation Of the books of the French
Lick Springs and West Baden Hotel
companies. 1t is desired by them to
make clear the exact relations of the
hotel companies and the Casinos which
were raided by the state officers last
week to stop alleged gambling. The
examina ton of the books is preliminary
to the trial of the quo warranto proceed
ings of the state against the hotel com
panies which will be held at PaoH Fri
day. At this trial Mr.. Taggart, of the
French Lick Springs Hotel company,
and Lee Sinclair. of the West Baden
Hotel company, wifi be placed on the
stand. Mr.. Taggart was subjected to
considerable questioning by Attorney
General Miller today Notwithstanding
his refusal to be placed under oath He
made the statement that the contract
of the hotel company with "Al'' Brown
for the Casino privileges two or three
years ago was $4,000 a year.
What the rental of the casino has
been under the last lease was not
brought out. Mr. Taggart said today
the action of the court at PaoH yester-
day in rendering judgment in favor of
the hotel companies cancelling the leases
of the casinos and securing for the hotel
companies possession of the casinos was
an Accomplishment for which the hotel
companies had been striving ever since
it had been discovered by them that the
lessons of the casinos were permitting
gambling

Case viii Now Be Rehearsed in
Supreme Court.

Because he was found guilty of alien
ating the affections of his son from his
wife, Louis F. White. a wealthy farmer
of Mitchell county. is obliged to appeal
TO the supreme court of the state for
reversal of the judgment of the Mitchell
county district court, presided over by
Judge R. NJ Picker.
In the lower court May White the
plaintiff, sued for S25. 900 damages and
secured a judgment for $4,000. The jury
held that the defendant White had in
terfered unduly with his sons family
affairs. It was charged that Louis
White had threa tened to disinherit his
son unless he would secure a divorce
Both of these charges were denied by
Louis F. White on the witness stand.
The plaintiff. May White, was mar
ried to Charles L. White on May p, 1902,
when she was Is years old, and White was
20. L was a secret wedding, and the
young folks came around TO the home
of Whites parents the day after to ask
forgiveness The reconciliation seems
to have been complete, for Charles
White was allowed to start up house
keeping On one of the farms owned by
his grandfather, and was allowed to use
the horses and farm implements which
were on the place. Things went along

free to get the divorce. This plan was
carried out. and Mrs. White got the
money, after which she commenced the

DEAD WOMAN KNOWN.
She Has Been Identified as Miss Nellie
ElIiston.

Minneapolis, Mimi July 1.-THE
identity of the woman who was killed
by a mysterious assailant while she
slept in her room at the National hotel
here yesterday, has been established.
She was Miss Nellie Eliiston, milliner
of Ellsworth, Wis. daughter Of a farm
er. The woman's head was crushed
with a hammer blow, the body tied to
couch which was saturated with wood
alcohol, then set afire.
A man who registered at the hotel
as M. p. Wilson, Milwaukee,, and oc-
cupied a room directly over that of the
woman was seen running from the wo-
mans room few minutes before the
fire was discovered. The police have
been unable to trace him.
The murdered woman arrived at the
hotel Monday morning and registered
as Mrs. Johnson, Detroit
Robbery was the motive for the muir
der of Miss Ellison. It has been discov-
cred by the police that Miss Ellison had
lately sold out her millinery business at
Ellsworth Wis, and had come to the
Twin Cities with ABOUT $500. No such
sum was found in her room at the hotel.
NJ. J. Wilson, who registered in the
room above Miss Ellison, took two
satchels away with him.
Investigation at Ellsworth shows that
Miss Ellison had always had good
reputation. Her family understood that
she was coming TO Minneapolis to look
up some business opportunities, but
have no idea as to the identity of the
man who was with her. At her home
it was understood she had been receiv-
ing some attention from q railroad con-
rductor named Riggs, who does not an
swer the description of her Minnea polls
companion in any way.
