PADUCAH, KY, Jan. 17.--Several
days ago DR.. j. M. Payne secured a
Judgment against Albert Ellsworth for
medical services rendered, and today
the two met on a highway for the first
time since the trial. Pointing his pistol
close to DIR. Payne's head, Ellsworth
caused the former to leave his buggy,
take off all his clothing and then wallow
for five minutes in convenient mud
hole. While the physician was taking
his mud bath Ellsworth compelled him
to sign statement that he had sworn
falsely on the witness stand.
The irate debtor, after warning the
doctor that he would be killed If he
ever mentioned the matter of the mud
hole, left the scene. DIR. Payne, half
frozen, donned his clothes as quickly
as possible and fastened to Lancaster
and procured warrant for the arrest
of Ellsworth. The latter is now at Ban
dana, where he is held pending trial.
Both parties to the affair are among
the most prominent people in Ballard
county.

ACCUSED BY OLD MINER
San Francisco Couple Charged With
Having SWindIed Him Out
of $1,000
By Associated Press.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 17.-Charged
with having secured $1,000 in cash
from Hugh II. Robinson, an old miner
from Lake county, through fraudulent
representations, A. G. Davis and his
wife Minnie Davis, were arrested at
the Melrose house on Valencia street
today and taken to the city prison.
The whereabouts of the money which
the couple is accused of Turing from
the old miner is mystery, but the
police believe that it is deposited in
some San Francisco bank.
Robinson, who has made and lost
fortunes in working California mines,
says that he has known Mrs. Davis
ever since she was a girl. When he
came to San Francisco from Lake
county on visit about two months
ago he met Mrs. Davis on the street
and was induced to make his home
at her house. Recently he accompanied
her to Lake county on a visit, and on
their return he alleges she secured his
bank book. Mrs. Davis and her hus-
band then moved and were found only
after a search by the police to whom
Robinson had reported that the $11, 900
which he had in the Humboldt Savings
bank had been drawn out without his
knowledge.

NEW YORK, Jan. 17-Albert T. Pat
rick's life may depend upon n scien-
tific gamble he has put up to Governor
Higgins. He offers to stake his life
on the result of an experiment to be
conducted in the morgue of this city,
all of the medical and other experts
who attended the trial to be present.
At this experiment Patrick is con-
vinced that he can prove that the con-
gestion of the lungs shown in the au-
topsy upon the body of Millionaire
Rice was caused, not by chloroform
but by embalming fluid injected into
his body.
The condemned lawyer only asks that
Higgins and the local authorities al
low his counsel and medical experts
to experiment upon the bodies of two
paupers, injecting embalming fluid into
them under the same conditions that
prevailed in the case of the aged mill
ionaire Rice. Then, If the embalming
fluid does not reach and cause con-
gestion of the lungs, the condemned
man will give UP his battle for life
and freedom. He will make no further
appeal for reprieve or delay of execu-
ton, he promises, but will walk stolid-
ly, on the day set, to the little room
beyond the iron door.

ANOTHER INSURANCE
INVESTIGATION EXPECTED
FEDERAL LIFE MAY BE PLACED
UNDER FIRE
Charge Made That the Company Is in
Control of Group of Men Who
Perpetuate Themselves In Office
by Manipulating Stock
By Associated Press.


CHICAGO, Jan. 17.-Another life in
surance investigation, with the Federal
Life Insurance company as the central
figure, Is in prospect as result of the
filing of a bill in the circuit court by
j. Ellsworth Griffin of Chicago, q pro-
moter, and Barton C. Smith of Mil
waukee, in which they charge the COM
pany is in the complete control of a
small group of officers who have sue
ceeded in perpetuating themselves in
office through the manipulation of
stock.
The company, which was organized
in 1900 with capital stock of $150,000,
has among its officers and directors
men prominent in Chicago and through
out Illinois. In asking for an injunc-
tion to restrain the Union Securities
company, holding company for the
federal concern, from voting lilo shares
of stock in the Federal at any meeting
Of stockholders, the complainants set
forth that President Isaac Miller Ham
ilton and several associates, in pursu-
ance Of a conspiracy to obtain control
of the Federal Life, secured the or
ganization of the Union Securities
company under the laws of Arizona
and procured the transfer to it of lilo
shares of the Federal company.
AS a result of the organization of the
securities concern and the alleged domi-
nation of the Federal by Hamilton and
his friends, it is declared, individual
stockholders have been deprived from
having any voice in the selection of its
directors.
An application that was made in
Judge Mack's court yesterday for a
temporary injunction to restrain the
Union Securities company and its
representatives from voting the stock
of the Federal company brought to
light the fact that the lilo shares Of
Federal stock owned by the Securities
people had been transferred to Presi
dent Hamilton as trustee and that he
was empowered to vote it at stock
holders meetings. Judge Mack held
that he had a right to vote the stock
in such capacity and on that account
declined to issue n restraining order.
Counsel for the complainants. how
ever, announced that they would ask
for permanent injunction and an or
der of court directing the Securities
company to transfer to such persons as
are entitled thereto all of the Federal
stock now held by 1t.

ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 17.-The an
nual retainer of $4,000 paid for many
years to Former Senator David B. Hill
by the Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety, the fact of which was first
brought out in the report of the Equit-
able to superintendent Hendricks of
the state insurance department. will
be investigated at MIR. Hills request by
a committee of the New York State
bar association. Mr.. Hill himself
brought the matter before the associa-
t1on at its annual meeting here today.
The grievance committee to which
the matter was referred is the same
i'll personnel as that which investigated
the charges against Supreme Justice
w. B. Hooker.
Mr.. HILL in offering his resolution.
described in a general way the nature
of his advices to the Equitable and
said the position was in no respect
q sinecure.
THE services rendered were wholly
professional. I declare that 1 never
received from the Equitable any money
whatever for political service or for any
political purpose" says Mr.. HILL "and
l need not restrict my statement to
that corporation alone but can truth
fully affirm that L never received dur
from any corporation whatsoever a
dollar of money for political purposes or
any political service"
His employment by the Equitable.
Mr.. Hill said, continued from 1892 to
1905.
Referring to the bringing out in the
Hendricks report of the fact of his
employment by the Equitable, Mr.. Hill
said:
"It also appears therein that Elihu
Root had been counsel for the COM
pany and that he had received in 1904
for his legal services the sum of
$4,000 and in 1905 the further sum of
$4,000. But these facts as to Mr..
Root or myself did not require either
of us to rush to the public prints to
defend ourselves from what did not
amount to an accusation and which
cast no reflection on us, and there was
nothing disclosed in that Investigation
concerning either Mr.. Roots or my own
services that really demanded any ex-
PLANTATION on the part OF either of u.s.

BITTERLY SCORES
THE PRESIDENT
TILLMAN WANTS MORRIS CASE
INVESTIGATED
Makes Highly Sensational Speech In
the Senate-Hale Of Maine
Strongly Reprimands
the Southerner
Rv Associated prnan


WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE recent
forcible removal from the White House
of Mrs. Minor Morris was made the
subject of emphatic denunciation bv
Mr. Tillman in the senate today. His
remarks called out remonstrances from
Messrs. Hale, Hopkins and Daniel and
led to the very abrupt closing of the
doors and the sudden adjournment OF
the senate in the middle of the after
noon.
The speech abounded in Mr.. Tillman's
peculiar expressions and was charac-
terized by many severe and excep-
tionally personal thrusts at the pres-
ident. At times he wept over what
he regarded as the indignities to the
lady, and his voice and eyes were full
of tears, when he declared, in the face
of protests from his fellow senator's
that he would demand an investiga-
ton of the White House incident
The reference to the treatment OF
Mrs. Morris constituted the latter half
of a speech based upon the senator's
resolution asking inquiry of the pres
fdent concerning the status of our re-
lations with the republic of Santo Do
mingo and was added to illustrate his
theory that the present administra-
ton is tending toward imperialism. In
the first part of the address he char
acterized the course of the United
States in Santo Domingo as great ex-
tension of the Monroe doctrine and said
cd
the country into serious complications.
He accused the president of putting the
treaty into execution in the face of
the senate'S refusal to act, denounced
the senate as willing to submit sub
serviently to all that is asked of it,
and implored senator's to show their
independence and thus teach the ex-
ecutive lesson and at the same time
serve the country.
Says President Was Derellct
With reference to the Morris oc-
currence, he declared that the president
had been derelict in failing to punish
his subordinates for their course, and
quoted statements from persons said
to shave been witnesses to show that
the proceeding had been inhuman. He
informally presented and said that he
would tomorrow formally present a
resolution for an investigation of the
entire incident
1t was the Introduction of this reso-
luton which called out the protest
from Mr.. Daniel, while Mr.. Hale OBJ
jected to the presentation of the mat
ter at all except under proof Mr.. Till
man declared his determination not to
be guided by their advice, and closed
with the reiteration OF his determina-
ton to bring in the resolution tomor-
row. The announcement occasioned
number of hurried conferences and it
is understood as a result of these Mr..
Tillman will be urged not to carry out
his purpose. Prominent senators on
both sides said that the resolution
would command few votes.
When the senate convened today Mr..
Tillman was prepared to proceed with
the speech on the status of affairs in
