ralgnment and accusation of the crime
Of murder, Mrs. Jennie Pratt, charged
with poisoning her husband, tainted In
court at ~ o'clock this morning and
had to be carried from the room. The
scene was one of the most dramatic
ever seen in the district court here.
Healy who was making the closing
plea for the prosecution made a power
full argument and swayed the spectat-
ors and jury at will. There was a
great crowd In attendance and the jury
and spectators were moved to tears as
the great lawyer described the scene
at the Pratt home, when Pratt with the
shadow of Death lowering over him
saw amorous actions of his wife and
Persing and knew in his heart that he
was going to an early grave in order
that they might openly indulge in
their unholy passion. The court room
was crowded to suffocation and many
were unable to gain admittance. At
torney Healy was still speaking when
court adjourned at noon and will prob
ably occupy most of the time this
afternoon. 1t is likely the case will go
to the jury tonight.

Washington, Jan 17.--At today's

congress will in its wisdom and as
speedily as possible, enact such further
legislation as may be necessary with
Justice to all concerned, to secure
prompt and complete correction of any
abuses In transportation methods or

nations in whatever form they may
may be accomplished, be prohibited;
that corporations and individuals who

provided for their detection and pun
ishment; also believing the government

the means to prevent the naming of ex-
cessive rates In schedules, it is recon-
mended that whenever United States

given precedence) shall have determin-
ed that the existing rate is excessive,
and commission or some other COM

compel the substitution of a reasonable
maximum rate, such a rate to go into
effect within reasonable time and to
remain in force for such a period, not
longer than a year, as may be determ-
ined, the rate to be fixed to be subject
to revision in e proper federal court
upon proof that such rate is less than

STOPS CABLE LINES
Peremptory Action Taken in Chicago
Today by Traction Expert-AIleged
That Lives Of Passengers are I'm
periIed on Certain streets-other
Measures May Follow.

Chicago, Jan. 17.-Dr. Maurice b.
Doty, traction expert for the city of
Chicago, today peremptorily stopped
traffic on the two cable lines running
on Wabash avenue and State street,
owned by the Chicago City Railway
Company. The reason given by Doty
for the stoppage is that the lives of
passengers are imperiled by the fact
that the gates on the left side of the
cars are left open. while they traverse
two squares on Wabash avenue, be-
tween Randolph and Madison streets.
The action of the city is generally
thought to be the first of active meas
ures to be taken against the street car
company. A few days ago the COM
pany declared to the city that it would
not accept the franchise extension or
dinance now pending before the city
council.
President Mitten Of the railroad COM
pany, held conference with the mayor
over the matter and it was agreed to
take it up later for settlement and the
mayor issued an order which allowed
the cars to resume running. The tie
ND lasted over two hours.

HILL ASKS INQUIRY
Former Democratic United States Sen
ator Asks New York Bar Associa-
ton to Examine Into His Connection
With the Equitable Life.

WlIn In0 Lille
Albany, N. z. Jan. 17.-At the an
nual meeting Of the State Bar Associa-

Senator David B. Hill demanded an in
vestigation by the association of the
circumstances connected with the an
nual retainer Of $4,000 paid him by the

committee to give him a hearing on
the subject, but he was then confined
to his room by illness and the COM
mittee adjourned without hearing him.
Hill made an extended speech in which
he explained the nature of the services
which he had rendered to the Equita-
BILE in return for his retainer. He as
serted the appointment as counsel for
the Equitable was welcome, though un-
solicited, and that he had earned ev-
cry dollar received. During his thirty
years of political life, Hill declared he
had never mixed politics and business
and left the office of governor poorer
than when he entered it. Hill remark
ed upon the fact that while Root also
received retainers from the Equitable
he was never called to explain. He
pointed out that all but two of the
legislative Investigators, including
their counsel, were Of a political faith
opposite to his, but disclaimed inten-
tion of imputing political motives. The
resolution was adopted directing the
committee on grievances to make an
investigation as requested by Hill.

TlLLMAN TURNS OTHER CHEEK
Remarkable Scene Witnessed in the
United States Senate,

United States Senate.
| Washington, Jan. 17.-An impressive
and almost sensational scene occurred
in the senate today. Tillman was Sc
verely arraign1ng the president, and
Hale, in a firm, intense manner, de-
clared Tillman had no right to vent
his personal feeling against the presi-
dent In any such way as he was doing
| Tillman declared he was not allowing
his pa'sonll ea-..ng to ent'.' into tn
subject. Owing to his high regard for
the senator flohl Maine he would listen
to Hale's reprimand without losing
his temper
The criticism which Tilhnan was
making related to ejectment Of Mrs.
Minor Morris from the White House,
which he said was the most pitiful
example OF anything that has ever been
associated with the president Till
man charged that Roosevelt had been
made by the press and that he now
sought control of press and that news
pills" were administered by Secretary
Loeb. When anything was said that
the president did not like there was
great wrath at the executive mansion.
1t was at this point that Hale declar-
ed his rebuke to the South Carolina
senator.
After the protests had been made
by Hale, Hopkins and Daniels against
bringing In of an investigation resolu-
tion concerning the Morris episode
Tillman declared with much feeling he
would offer resolution tomorrow Gas
Senator and Man" and he would 'Put
1t up to the senator's to do what they
will" He charged that the president
had utterly failed to show the instincts
Of a gentleman in ignoring the acts Of
his underlings in heaping brutalities
upon a defenseless woman.

ENGLAND IS EXCITED
Election Contests Become Exceedingly
Warm and American Campaign
Methods Are Being Used Contrary to
the Usual Custom in Birmingham.

Birmingham, England. Jan. 17.-For
liamentary divisions of this city are
being contested and in view of the ris-
ing torrent Of liberal successes thru
out the country the fight is evoking
extraordinary interest. So keen is the
battle that at the urgent request OF
his supporters Mr. Chamberlain ac-
conpanied by his wife even took the
unusual course Of driving through his
constituency, which he had never be-
fore been known to do on the day OF
polling. He was accorded a splendid
reception. The workingmen, who form
uency lined the streets and shouted
and cheered for the candidate The
district west of Birmingham is being
hotly contested, but Chamberlain's per-
sonality may carry him through. The
business community at the town hall
where Chamberlain stopped to cast his
vote for the unlonlSt candidate for
central Birmingham gave him rous-
ing reception. Mr.. Chamberlain and
wife both appeared to he in the best
of humor. After touring his own dis
trict Chamberlain visited other divis-
ions, particularly east Birmingham,
where it is feared Sir John Stone, con-
servative (who was commissioner to
the st. Louis Exposition) will be de-
feated Chamberlain's personal popu-
larity is being utilized by the unionists
for all it is worth. There was some
rowdyism in the west division, where
mudslinging was indulged in at the
expense of the liberals. Mrs. r. l..
Cultivate, wife of Chamberlain's OPP
ponent, a liberal, was one Of the vic
tins.
