nre tiptocing about this chamber talking
OF The day in court.
He Had to Unload.

Mr.. DolIiver referred to the recent
magazine article by Ex-Secretary olney,
and said That he was the man upon whose
advice President Cleveland had sent an
army to Chicago ''in face of the protests
OF pauic-stricken mayors and screaming
governors
There was a perceptible stir in the
senutc when Mr.. Dolliver referred to
one investigator "who had to unload his
railroad securities to give him the spiri-
tual prepa ration for the work
Mr.. Dolliver made "a broad plea for
the right to regulate the railroads, but
said that this right did not come from
the fact that the railroads enjoy fran
chises. 1T Is because of the business
In which they are engaged" he said,
and added that "it would save much
time If the railroad managers could be
brought to a realizing sense OF that
fact
That the people were not complaining
of the railroad Mr.. Dolliver averred. but
he asserted most earnestly that they do
demand that Congress shall assert its
function MS the guardian OF the American
market Mace.

The Power of Congress.

Commenting upon Mr.. Foraker's criti-
cisn that the Dolliver-Hepburn bill was
unconstitutional. Mr.. Dolliver said that
1t was most important to know what
power Congress had in the matter of rate
making, and he therefore urged the inn
portance of passing the bill for that pur-
pose, If for no other. He then entered
upon a line of argument to show that
Mr.. Foraker had been mistaken, and that
Congress had the power to regulate rates.
He contended that If the States have
power to fix rates, as decided by the Su-
prcme Court, the United States had the
same power.
Mr.. Dolliver referred to the fact that
he had been charged with a tendency to-
wards socialism only to contradict It,,
SAYING that he did not desire to have the
government take chang of tho business

IN the right of property to protection.

agree upon a bill for the regulation of
the railroads. the country would be called

Monopoly of Coal Business.
During the consideration of the Indian
bill Mr.. La Toilette offered an amend
ment prohibiting railroad companies from
acquiring any OF the territorial coal lands.
lie said it was impossible to conceive of
free competition with carriers owning any
commodity, and had Il letter read from
w. l.. Johnson, of Ardrnore, /. T., de-
claring that the railroads now have a
practical monopoly of the coal business
in that territory.
The Senate adjourned until tomorrow.

tor and Mr.. Fish himself Mr.. Fish could
gain but two votes by winning an election
and would still be short Of a majority.
Railroad men generally believe the plans
OF the Hartman party contemplate the
merger Of the road with the Union Pacific
system. but do not believe the stock con-
troll will publicly pass until the echoes
OF the contest nave died OUT.
They consider It very likely that in the
course OF time the stock holdings of the
Hartman party will be transfe rred to Mr..
Harriman's favorite holding company, the
Oregon Short Line, which, itself controlled
by the Union Pacific. controls the Southern
Pacific and various other roads. AS well
as very probably the Baltimore & Ohio
stock recently purchased by the Hartman
party.
With the exception Of the Baltimore and,
Ohio stock the acquisition of the Illinois
Central is the most important victory the
Hartman party has won since IL, secured
control Of the Southern Pacific. The ILL
nois Central connects with the Union Pacific
at Omaha and Kansas City. with the South
ern Pacific at New Orleans among other
places. and with the Baltimore and Ohio at
Chicago and st. Louis.
This great importance on It's part in a
comprehensive system from the Atlantic

.SoMERyILLE, N. II, Nov. 5.-The trial
OF Miss Flonndo Hlario for the murder
Of Alexander Dipaolo, the contractor Of
Raritan, which has occupied the Somerset
court for seven days. ended tonight, when
the jury after. a d~eliberation OF three hours
rendered q verdict Of m~anslaughter.,
Miss mario, who had been completely
exhausted by her ordeal in the trial. was
cell in the county Jail and brought to the
u room, where abe faced the jury with
apparent indifference. Even when she
heard the foreman of the jury pronounce
the verdict Of guilty Of m~anslsughter'
there was no apparent change In her de-
meanor. and she turned wearily toward
Justice Garretson, who was about to SEN
tepce her, when Clarence <. Case, counsel
for the defence, arose and asked that sem
tence be deferred 70 that he might ask
for a ule to show cause why q new trial
should not be granted.
When asked for his reasons for making
this request Mr.. Case stated that the jury
in the progress OF the trial had, without
the consent of the Court, been taken to the
house where Dipaolo had been killed and
Justice ,Garretson manifested great in
dignatiop on hearing this and ordered the
const&saSs IN charge Of the jury brought
before him. When they were arraiRned he
asked them IL the charge made by the coun-
sci for the defence was true. The con-
stablss admitted. that in n OF the walks
with 9he jury in a court recess they had
gone through Mechanic street and were
about to pass the residence OF Mrs. War
wick where Dipsolo had been shot. A num-
Der OF the jurymen expressed a desire to
go to the rear OF the house where the shoot
ing took place to look the ground over and
did so.
Justice Garretsou asked Prosecutor Roger
what action he was disposed to take against
the delinquent constables. Prosecutor
Roger said il was a matter that would re-
quire time and serious deliberation n that
he was not prepared to act at once. He
asked that punishment of the constables
be withheld until. he could bring proper
action against them. Justice Garretson
granted this request and then turning to
Miss nlario he told her that on account Of

stables he was forced to defer her sentence.

Of two detectives tray. On October 10
George Kallonay, a German, who has been
in this country only eight months, during
which time he has lived at 140 linton avenue,
vent to the Detective Bureau and told Capt.
Price that his house had been robbed of
81 200 worth OF jewelry, of which he fur
nished a list. Detectives Sullivan and
Schewing put on their gum shoes and took
the trail.
They found that Mrs. Kallonay had had
recommended to her as a seamstress Miss
Alice Hedwig of 92s East 13eth street. Miss
Jennie Kovach, who did the recommending
and who was known to Mrs. K~allonay only
through a friend Of both. lived in the same
house as Miss Hedwig. On the day the
jewelry disappeared Miss Hedwig was at
the K%allopav's home to see about sewing.
Mrs. Kallon ay told the detectives that she
was called away for a time and that Mrs
Hedw tx was left alone in the part of the
house where the jewels were kept.
The police questioned the two young
women but learned nothing Until last

Progress. On Thursday. while searching
in the cellar-no one knew why they did
search ~there-the detectives found several
pieces Of the jewelry hidden behind an old
drain pipe. Yesterday morning. after
searching the woodshed. the sleuths took
another look behind the drain Pire and
found most of the remaining jewels there.
They decided to watch the drain piT e,
but hunger got the better of them and they
vent out 10 eat. When they retuned
they took another look behind the pipe and
sure enough there were the remaining
pieces of jewelry. The Kalloneys couldn't
exrlain il; neither could the cops. They
did know. however. that $3.50 in money
YVES still missing. At last reports Sullivan
and Schewing were squatting in one corner
OF the cellar watching the drsin pipe in the
hope that it would bring forth the $3.50 and
reveal the mystery Of the returning jewels.
They announced th[t they expected
shortly to make an arrest, but whether
they had designs on the drain pipe or a

But Negroes VINO wanted Her Claim
Settled Meant Ma Harm.
An attempt to bride Deputy Comptroller
Phillips came to light yesterday. Comp
troller Metz let out the secret when he
showed his friends copies Of two letters
which were sent to Mr.. Phillips offering to
give SIS to his campaign fund If he would
settle a claim against the city. The claim
belonged to Mrs. Jennie Hicks, a negress,
who lives at 20 Lorimer street, Williams
burg.
Her claim was for sewer damages. She
first appealed to Mr.. Metz who turned her
matter over to Mr.. Phillips. There was
some delay in adjusting the claim and with
an idea OF facilitating things Mrs. Hicks
wrote this letter to the Deputy Comptroller
on October 30:
MH. PHILLIPS. Please are there any way
posahle that YOU could srtel my claim befor
Tuesday of next week. Youv ben so good to
me so far that I would like as u small token OF
my sratitud to leave in your chamber s2s on,

Mr.. Phillips replied that the matter had
been settled, but added that he was shocked
to think that any resident hould think
that a contribution to a campaign fund
was needed to set the Finance Department
working and he reminded Mrs. Hicks that
anyway. he was not a candidate for any
Office this year. The rebuke brought this
response from Mrs. Hicks:
Brooklyn, November :, 1906.

GREAT VATERPOVEUPROJECT
A 5000, 200 SYNDICATE TO USE
COLORADO RIVERS.


ritOry Within no Miles Of the Plant.
. CLEVELAND, Nov. S.-Backed by a 50, OO0,-
900 syndicate. former Governor Myron T.
Herrick and Thomas F. Walsh Of enver
purpose to harness the mountain streams
OF the Rockies and revolutionize Industrial
conditions in the West.
Their plans contemplate a gigantic en-
cheering feat-the development OF the
water power OF the mountains OF Colorado
for long distance transmission. The scheme
has been financed.
.Herrick is enthusiastic over the project.
The lesson of Niagara's Ca tarsct, he de-
~clsres, has shown what can be o with
the Colorado streams. Fifty streams will
be harnessed and electricity brought into
use among all the Western railroads and
manufacturing plants.
For the present only territory within a
radius of 40 miles OF the central power
plant will be embraced. Later il Is con-
templated to cover the whole Middle West.
John Hayes Hammond has been en-
ployed and for some time has been at work
on the problem.
Il am enthusiastic over this project, "
said Mr.. Herrick to-day, but it Is what I
call a conservative enthusiasm. An invcs-
tigation has Nntolded unlimited opportu-
nit les.
Il predict that in ten years every rail-
o company crossing the mountains
will be- using electricity. and that the ma
jority OF manufacturers will adopt il. The
high price Of coal in the West makes the
cost from SIS to sl25 a year per horsepower
TO each railroad company and manufact-
urer. With little expense for fuel our
company can furnish this power at from
$50 to $50 a year per horsepower. The
price varies according to the distance
power is transmitted.
Il predict u revolution Of industrial m
ditions in the West. With electrical power
railroads will be able to operate by tunnel
through the mountain region. Coal and
steam ~generase gas to such an extent that
in tunnels of the length required to go
under the Rocky or Sierra Nevadas the
crew on the engine would be ssphyxiated.
This will save thousands Of dollars and
reduce by days the journey to the Pacific
Coast"

FIVE BRIDGE ~BLOCKADES.
One Lasted ~ Minutes -I1.OOO People
In Crush at Manhattan End.

IN crush ~ Mammalian Enu.
A bridge train was tagged for some
unexplained reason near the Brooklyn
anchorage of the Brooklyn Bridge at 5:25
o'clock last night. The motorman dropped
his cable and his thousand and some odd
passengers bound for Brooklyn were stalled
for twenty five minutes. high and dry on
the bridge. This was but the first of FIVE
distinct blocks on the bridge which ex-
tended through the rush hour and caused
a crowd 10 pack itself about the Manhattan
end which the police estimated at over
10000 people.
When a cat le is dropped on the bridge
il il impo ssikle for il TO again be picked
up by the grip and the motorman relies
on the power in the third rail. For some
reason il was very weak last night and the
car. which was tagged consumed twenty
FIVE minut ~ in creeping from the Brooklyn
anchorage to the Sands street station. This
blocked all other trains, and the fifty police
men Of the bridge squad had TO close all
gates on the concourse to hold the crowd
back. Capt. Murtha soon came over and
took charge The surface cars n prom
enade were unable to accommodate the
throng. and they were soon backed far out
into Park row.
Hardly hadt the trains been started again
when the motor car on a city line train
became stalled in the pocket on the Man
haitian end. By the time an electrician
had repaired the motor the trains were
blocked again for ten minutes, and the
police were compelled TO close the gates a
recond time. Three other motors on IA
many other trains became powerless after
ward and each time a block resulted the
police closed the gates. The last four
Hooks all occurred in the pocket at the
Manhattan end. Many OF the crowd took
a chance on walking across rather than
wait for a train between tlocks and reached
