I'm the man; / did it," remarked
Blodgett, when he saw the officer. 1t

If Justice 0'Sullivan Is Correct.

trict attorney that intent must have
been present to constitute the crime
of larceny, but declares that the ques-
tion whether or not there was intent
is a question yet to be determined.
Mr.. Jerome was in court today, and
when Judge O'Sullivan had delivered
his opinion the district attorney asked
the grand jury to remain, as he de-
sired to address them on the subject in
question. He declared that Judge
O'Sullivan had misconceived the SUBJ
ject which he had considered, and that
if the court held to its opinion it
would be the duty of the grand jury
to return indictments against George
w. Perkins, former vice president of
the New York Life Insurance Co.
for larceny, and against George b.
Cortelyou, chairman, and Cornelius
n. Bliss, treasurer of the republican
national committee. as receivers of
stolen goods.
Mr.. Jerome informed Judge OSulli-
van that if he would sit as magis-
trate he would submit affidavts to the
acts committed by George w. Per-
kins and would ask for a warrant
for his arrest. He added that in the
event of such a warrant being issued
writ of habeas corpus would follow
and that the case would be taken to
the highest courts, where the district
attorney would retain Alton b. Par
ker as special counsel. Judge O'Sull-
ivan declined to grant the warrant,
giving as his reason that the question
at issue should be passed upon by the
grand jury.

LARGER FIGHTING VESSELS
ARE NEED OF THE NAVY
Admiral Dewey Declares Great Battle
shlDs Are Wanted

Washington, Mar. 23--Great battle
ships like the 1S,000-ton English bat
tleship Dreadnaught are the crying
need of the American navy, according
to Admiral Dewey who appeared bef
fore the house committee on naval at
fairs to discuss the future OF
the American navy At least two 49,
000-ton battleships with ten 12-lnch
guns each should be authorized at
once. in Admiral Dewey's opinion. He
would have these of American design,
and thinks we should be creative
rather than initiative i'm developing
the navy.
Admiral Dewey also believes extern
slve experiments with submarine boats
should be carried on. In case of at
tack by a foreign navy an American
harbor Of supply would be necessary,
and submarines, I'm HIS opinion are ad-
mlrably adapted to prevent a foreign
foe from gaining such 9 supply harbor.
The admiral does not favor additional
cruisers and armored cruisers, but be-
lieves war scout ships Of the monitor
type should be built
Admiral Dewey thinks battleships
should not be kept constantly In com
mission. He would have them rest In
suitable harbors where a small crew
could keep them In condition. TIN
would result I'm great saving to the
machinery Crews could be trained
satisfactorily on smaller and less ex-
pensive ships. In his opinion.

THROUGH GROSS NEGLIGENCE
Action Against Former President Is
terrible Arraignment Of CaIam7
NJ itous Administration, w

New York, Mar. 23.--The first COM
plant in a series of eight actions al
ready begun by the Mutual Life In
surance Co. against former President
Richard A. McCurdy, his son. Rob-
ert H. and the firm of Charles M. Ray
mond q Co., the company's former
metropolitan agents, was made public
today.
The particular complaint Is against
former President McCurdy and con-
tains nine separate causes of action. In
each Mr.. McCurdy Is charged with
the waste of large sums of money be-
longing to the company through un-
faithfulness and neglect in the dis
charge of his duties Damages
amounting to three and a quarter mil
lion dollars are demanded.
The first five causes seek recovery in
the aggregate of $292.500 as alleged
contributions to political parties since
January /. 1885.
The sixth cause seeks to recover the
sum of $225.000, embracing the $50,-
GOO alleged increase of annual salary
drawn by the former president since
June /, 1901, without authority as Is
claimed.
The seventh cause seeks 20 recover
spective sums of $4,000 drawn quar-
terly from the company for the last
six years of McCurdy's presidency, on
the voucher of the committee on ex-
pendtures and under circumstances
detailed in the teshmhIy before the

lations of Louis A. Thebaud, son-in-
law of ex-President McCurdy, with
Raymond and company and the "Gra-
tuities and rates of commission" re-

the sum of $1.2S2,S41 received by
Robert II. McCurdy as commissions
from 1886 to November, 1905, as SUI
perintendent of the foreign depart
ment, and charges that by reason of
unfaithfulness and neglect by the for

necessary.

ment against ex-President McCurdy

New York, Mar. 2S.--If the grand
jury which is investigating some of
the conditions developed by the re-
cent legislative investigation reaches
the conclusion that contributions of
insurance companies to political cam
paign funds were made with intent to
defraud the true owner of his prop
erty, it must find that larceny was
committed. This opinion was express
ed today by Justice O'Sullivan in the
court of general sessions in answer
to a presentment on the subject sub
mitted to him by the grand jurors.
Judge O'Sullivan added that it is not
within the province of the court to
say whether or not there was intent.
This is a question which the jurors
must determine for themselves from
all the facts and circumstances in the
case. He charged the jury to make
a thorough investigation into all the
facts and to place the responsibility
for such crimes, if they find that
crimes were committed.
Differs With Jerome.
This opinion is in effect directly
opposite to the one on the subject,
Jerome several days ago. Mr.. Jerome
in his brief, which was submitted to
Justice O'Sullivan, held that there was
no ground for prosecution of any in
surance official in connection with the
campaign contributions, taking the
ground that no intention to defraud
had been shown. Judge O'Sullivan
agrees with the contention of the dis

WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA MEN

indianapolis, Ind, Mar 23.-The
deadlock between the coal operators
and miners of the central competitive
and southwestern district continued
throughout the meeting of the two
joint scale committees of the joint
conferences today and when the meet
ing adjourned late this afternoon no
agreement had been reached
Both committees will meet again
tomorrow morning.
The discussion i'm the scale commit
tee of the central competitive dis
trict was confined entirely today to ar
guments regarding the operators on
the committee and radical views were
expressed by them. The miners rep
resentatives, were, for the most part
silent auditors. An effort was made
to secure from President Mitchell an
expression as to whether he consider
ed the Ryan resolution in effect. This
resolution was adopted by the former
joint conference in January and binds
the miners not to sign in any district
until an agreement shall have been
reached In every district. Mr.. Nit
chell declined to commit himself,
Robbins Gets Belligerent.
T.. J.. Robbins, of the Western Penn
day for several vigorous attacks on his
position in favor of paying the scale
of 1903, which would mean an ad-
vance of 5,55 per cent in wages in the
district and would comply with the
demands Of the miners.
Mr.. Robbins stated on the floor that
he did not propose to be dictated to
by the operators of Illinois, Indiana,
and Ohio. He said his position was
fair and just to all interests and the
Plttsburg Coal company, which he
represented was willing to pay the ad-
vance i'm wages asked. He said he
was also willing to pay the advance
at his own mines in Pennsylvania.
Ohio and Illinois and he had received
notice from an Illinois coal company
having an output of one million tons
annually that 1t had instructed it's
representatives to vote with him. Mr.
Robbins said the country would not
permit a general strike upon the caus-
es shown. He turned to President Nit
chell of the Mine Workers and said
he did not believe the officials of the
miners would dare to refuse to allow
the miners to work where their de-
mands were met.
G.. A. Magoon, representing the Wes-
tern Pennsylvania Independent opera
tors said that II the Pittsburg Coal
company paid. the Western Pennsyl-
vania would do the same.
The dissensions among the opera
tors became so heated that the repre-
sentatives of the miners were asked
to withdraw for an hour. This was
done, and at the end of the period an
adjournment of the committee was ta-
ken until tomorrow morning. The OPP
orators arranged for a conference by
states among themselves tonight.
After the general caucus leading OPP
orators said tonight that nothing had
been accomplished and the situation
was exactly as It was at the beginning
of the joint conference.
