POOR WITNESS
AGAINST MANN
Moses Ellis Wooster Sharply Cross
Examined by Martin LittletOn,
Attorney for the Defense.
PLAIN TALK BY THE COURT
TESTIMONY TENDED TO I'M
PEACH THE WITNESS.

New York, Feb. THE examination
81 Colonel w. D. Mann on a charge OF
perjury preferred by. Robert J. Collier.
publisher OF Golfers Weekly. was con-
tinued today. Moses Ellis Wooster.
who was an agent for 'FRds and Fan
cies" and who testified yesterday, was
cross examined today by Colonel
Mann's counsel The witness said that
after Colonel Mann had written 20. K. 2"
and hts initials upon the letter OF Count
Reginald Ward, which forms the basis
Of the perjury charge, he CWooster)
took the letter again and showed Il TO
the circulation clerk.
wooster said that ne kept this letter
after showing It to the clerk, and that
he afterward put II In tin box at his
home. Later he said he gave 1t to the
counsel for Robert J. Collier, and about
q month after giving them the letter,
went into their employment.
Previous Testimony Wrong.
Martin w LittIeton, Colonel Mann's
counsel, during sharp cTOss-examina-
ton Of Wooster, ELECTED from him that
in two particulars his previous testi-
mony at this hearing was in error con-
corning 10000 shares OF mining stock
which he said Count Ward gave him.
Mr. Wooster corrected these points. one
being about the date Of receiving the
stock and the other about the number
OF shares in each installment.
Pointed Remarks by Court.
At this point. while Assistant District
Attorney Hart was objecting to the line
Of questioning pursued by Mr.. LdttletOn,
Justice McAvOy interrupted the law
yers to say that the crOss-eKaminatiOn
was progressing satisfactorily to him,
and that it tended to impeach the testi-
mo7y Of the witness. He added that
although Wooster had sworn that he
saw Colonel Mann 20. K" and sign the
initials ''W. D. NJ" TO the Count Ward
letter, that did not make 1t so.
Referring again TO the salary which
Wooster says he receives, Mr.. Littleton
asked:
Hers?"
'T am"
What are you doing for them?"
Has Nothing to Do.
There is nothing for me 20 do but
come here and testify under subpoena"
The witness said that the placing Of
the 80. X" and the initials ''W. D. NJ"
on Wards application was only for the
purpose OF putting Count Wards name
on Ire posting or free lists, and that he
had no other significance.
Mr.. LittletOn then offered to Wooster
what he said was the free mailing list
OF Town Topics for 1903, and the wit
hess said he could not find Count
Wards name thereon.
After Wooster left the witness stand
Edwin B. Hay, a handwriting expert
testified that in his opinion the 20. K"
and the initials wv y. NJ" were in
Colonel Mann's handwriting.
Court then adjourned until tomor-
row.

Suggestion to Patterson.

Mr.. Bailey then suggested to Mr.
Patterson that there was but one
proper recourse left him, and that was
to change parties, and to this sugges-
ton Mr.. Patterson replied that neither
the sneers nor the inuendoes of Mr.
Bailey would cause him to swerve
from his intention Of following his in
tentions rather than the behest of a
party. He had, he said, wanted only
to impress on the country the size of
the danger that turks in caucus dicta-
ton, and, he added, that If he had
succeeded in accomplishing that result
he would feel satisfied. He had no
regret for what he had done. He had
no doubt that the action of the caucus
had been taken for the purpose Of
placing him before his own constitu-
ents as bolter, and he characterized
the action as 1.-The ghost of ante-b ellum
days rising to drive senators from their
duty"

The reference to the old times
aroused Mr.. Bailey, and he declared,
with a perceptible show of scorn, that
he would waive the reference as IN
worthy of notice"
''It must" he added, ''be an appeal
to the Republican side to vote for Mr.
Patterson's resolution. No southern
Democrat would hesitate to defy his
party when it came to a conflict be-
tween party and conscience, but hav-
ing done so, he would know that he
must at home risk the consequences of
putting his own Judgment against that
of two-thirds Of his party"

son, and Mr.. Bailey replied that 1t rs

RooseveIt's Philosophy Of Life.

He then declared that Mr.. Roosevelt
was the first president. living or dead,
who had declared in favor of strife as
a philosophy of life. He therefore con-
sidered as an anomaly the support Civ
en- to the president by the Christian
people.
Contending for the necessity of unity
in party action, Mr.. Bailey read q letter
from, the president commenting on the
party.
He practically says from start to
fnish,'' said Mr.. Bailey that If the
Democrats believe what they say they
do they are fools; If not, they are liars"
He also quoted from Mr.. Roosevelt's
Life Of Benton" a characterization of
Andrew Jackson as Ignorant and
strong-headed." and said he would
leave It 20 Mr.. Patterson to decide
whether the president would feel COM
plimented over the Colorado senator's
comparison Of himself to Jackson.
Never before" said Mr.. Bailey, had
q president given such an offense to
Democrats as had the present occupant
of the White House, and never before
had political opponents been so ready
to come to the defense Of president"
Democratic Policy.
He referred to the newspaper charge
that there was a conspiracy to defeat
the presidents railroad rate bill. He
was himself pleased that the president
stood for that policy, and he was will
ing to say that but for his advocacy the
question would receive scant attention,
yet he must remind the country that
the policy was a Democratic policy.
That being true, the Republican unity
was remarkable-a lesson in party 10y
atty for Mr.. Patterson. True, there
were evidences Of Independent action In

waved In such a manner that q major
ity of the Republican senators will be
brought to support the presidents rail-
road policy, even though it be taken
from a Democratic platform" He ex-
pressed the opinion that the president
must have used very persuasive figures
to secure the support of Mr.. Patterson.
Mr.. Bailey confessed himself to be a
partisan, contending that the majority
in any party must be. permitted to. pre-
scribe party policy. always leaving to

Murder Charge Reduced to As
Sault and Battery, and
Fine Paid.

The case of Mrs. Lizzie Geisler, which

since March 16, 1905, when she was
disposed of in the Police court Thurs
day morning, the charge having been
reduced to assault and battery and the
defendant paying a fine of $3.50
The case. it viii be remembered, grew
out OF the death of Mrs. Margaret

Third West streets.
Couldn't Prove Murder.
Though the authorities are, and have
from the first, been convinced that the
death Of the Graham woman was the
result of criminal operation, there
was no way to prove it in q court of
law. The reduction Of the charge from
murder to assault and battery was,
therefore, considered to be the best
that could be done.

To USE CHINESE
TO BUILD CANAL
Government Will Try Expert
ment of Hiring Yellow Men
on the Isthmus.
OTHER LABOR HAS NOT
PROVED SATISFACTORY
Jamaicans Have Not Been Able
to Stand Up Under the
Task Imposed.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1o.-Chiuese
labor will be given thoroug h test on
the Panama canal Contracts calling
for $500 Chinese for canal work have
been prepared and advertisements Will
be issued by the Isthmian Canal com"
mission in few days, asking for pro-
posals from labor agents.
If the initial $500 Cinnamon prove a
success, it is likely that many more will
be taken to the isthnlus to do the work,
which is too hard for the Jamaicans
now employed there in large numbers.
Organized labor has offered much op-
position TO the use Of contract Chinese
labor, but the Jamaican workmen have
proven inadequate, sufficient Spaniards
cannot be had Immediately to rush the
work, and the Chinese are the last
hope Of the commission.
President Roosevelt. Secretary Taft,
Chairman Shonts Of the Canal commits"
sion and other men prominently idon-
tilted with the canal work, are known
to have delayed employing Chinese un-
til it became evident that the other
help available was not equal to the
demands. The administration has taken
the position that the canal must be
dug at any cost and although the Pres
ident urged that there be no haste in
employing Chinese, he did not stand
permanently in the way of the plan to
try the coolies.
IT is the intention of the commission
to ask for bids from labor agents, who
will arrange with the Chinese Govern
ment for the expectation of labor,
transport the Chinese to the isthmus,
under contract to work for n fixed
wage, and ship them back to China, thus
relieving the commission of all detnil
work and all responsibility. A bond
will be required Of all contractors for
q satisfactory fulfillment of any con-
tract they may enter into with the
commission.
The employment Of the Chinese will
not displace the Jamaicans who are al
ready here, but it is not likely that
many more West Indian negroes will
be hired if the Chinese prove a sue
cess.
