W. ". AMORY BRE AXIS OUT.
Pitches INTO the Metropolitan at Hearing
on Herse Cars.

ON Herse Cars.
The Aldermen's committee on railroads
held q public bearing yesterday on a reso-
hutton recently introduced in the board
condemning the continued use OF horse
cars in this city. The hearing was en-
livenec by a speech by William N. Amory,
an old enemy Of the Metropolitan.
He first attacked Jerome for being pain
fully shy when called on 70 tackle the
criminal rich and then went on to de-
nounce all connected with the Metropolitan
system as thieves and robbers.
The cost Of changing motive power from
horses to underground trolley, he said
did not exceed $3.50, 900 a mile, yet the
company reported to the Railroad Com
mission that the change on the F~ifty-ninth
street crosstown line, a mile and q hall in
length, had cost more than 1000, 900.
Similarly, Mr.. Amory asserted that the
change on the T~wenty-third street line had
cost $50 900 a mile.
Then az great length Mr.. Amory went
into the financial transactions OF the COM
ANY bearing upon the acquisition OF new
lines, for the purpose Of which millions
stating that the heads OF the company in
1908 were publicly charged with having
stolen $50, 600, 900 from the company and
had never refuted the accusation.
He urged the Aldermen TO investigate
the company and added: The company
cannot change its motive power from
horses to electricity. IL has neither money
nor credit. IL Is In sore straits to keep ITS
present equipment in running order. Unless
restitution ~ forced Of the millions stolen
by the insiders il will be a long time before
there is any substitution Of electric power
for the archaic horse cars
Mrs. Rose Pastor Stokes, wife OF j. q.
Phelps Stokes, said that the conditions OF
travel on the East Side injured the moral
and spiritual characters Of the people In
that section OF the city and ~engendered a
hateful and bitter feeling against the cor
porations. The committee reserved its
decision.

LAST PUBLIC APPEARANCE.
Miss Anthony Spoke at Baltimore =
Few Weeks AGO.

Rochester, n. Y March 12-Miss An
thongs last public appearance, which
was at the National Woman Suffrage
convention in Baltimore a few weeks
ago, was really the beginning of the
end of the great suffragist's career. I'm
der the weight of her eighty-Six years,
and worn by the almost constant pains
of neuralgia, she was i'll when she left
her home in Rochester for the conven-
ton city.
At Baltimore her health was little
better. but il was with the greatest
difficulty that her friends kept her
away from the daily sessions Of the
Baltimore convention. She chafed I'M
der the enforced retirement of her
room. and was only half content with
the minute reports which reached her
from the convention hall.
But even in this absence it was her
mind which dominated the convention.
Every piece OF business transacted
there was considered by her before ac-
ton was taken, and it was her advice
which cleared away many tangles.
Gave Her Purse.
When the discussion on raising
money for the work Of the coming year
was reached, Miss Anthony insisted on
going to the meeting, She sat on the
platform. and was the first to respond
to the treasureT's appeal. She stood up
and held out a purse. Il want to begin
by giving you my purse" she said.

me a birthday party and a present of

what I liked with the money, and I'd
ike to send it TO Oregon"
It was at this convention that she
publicly gave her last word to the
cause to which her life was devoted.
That she recognized her approaching
end was apparent. 1t was near the
close of the convention when she took
the place of Julia Ward Howe, who
was prevented by illness from taking
her part on the programme. AS she

Cist of the Resolutions.


''for the purpose of disabusing your
mind that 'unionism' is anarchism-
Cist of the Resolutions.
The resolutions are moderate in tone
but in some measure reflect the idea SO
widely disseminated that the presOCu-
ton of these men is in pursuance of a
conspiracy. The governor and Mr..
HawIey are asked to weigh the confess
sfons carefully and to use their best
efforts to secure a fair and impartial
trial for the accused. They ask that
the men be given full opportunity to
prove that the confessions ARE trump
ed I'D evidence. solicited by rich cor
porations for the sole purpose of dis
rupting unionism in the western states
and probably put to death two Amer1-
can citizens who had not done anything

Grafton of Miners.
Reply of the Governor.
In view of misconception of the atti-
tude of the state that seems to be so
widely prevalent among labOring men,
the governor has sent a reply 10 the
Evansville resolutions in which he has
set forth the purpose of the state very
carefully and fully. The governor set
forth the belief that the members Of
the Evansville union have been misin-
formed, for he cannot believe that they
would countenance assassination. Pro-
ceeding. he states that no mine own
erS, no association of mine owners, or
any corporation of private nature,
wealthy or otherwise, has had anything
to do with the work of securing evil
dence against any of these men, No
body but the state employed detecti -es

ward other than his stipulated fee and

secured from Orchard, the letter states
MCFARLAND visited him, informed him

truth about the matter. No promise Of
any character was made. Orchard fully
expects to pay the penalty for the
crime which he has confessed

story of conspiracy and murder against
Ex-Governor Steunenberg, so revolving
