is He AN EX-CONVICT?
Rev. Charles Stuart Balm Faces Some
New Charges.


Waterloo, N. Y. May 1s.-In further
ance of his inquiry into the case of Rev.
Charles Stuart Balm who is in the coun-
ty Jail on a charge of having set fire to
the First Baptist church Of Waterloo
March 6 last, and who claims that at
times he is under an influence against
which he has no power of resistance,
District Attorney Bodine has been ad-
vised by the warden of the Illinois state
prison at Joliet that one Charles S. Balm,
alias c. w. Wilson, became a prisoner
in that institution October. 1896, on a
commitment from Kane county. charg-
ing embezzlement.
The prisoner was paroled April IS,
1898, and was given his final discharge
photograph of Rev Mr.. Balm which was
the statement of the warden to the eff
feet that it is undoubtedly a picture of
the former Illinois prisoner. The dis
trict attorney also stated that he had
received q letter saying that Mr.. Balm
was tried at Converse, Ind, in 1893 by
an ecclesiastical court on a charge Of
lying and conduct unbecoming a min
lister, and that he was dismissed from
the Pennsylvania ministry as a result of
the trial Mr.. Bodine has received many
letters in connection with the case,
some from former neighbors of Mr.
Balm. who testified to the fact that at
times the man undoubtedly was under
some strange spell and that while under
the influence he acted out Of all accord
with his general mode of life.

Ithaca. N. Y. May 18.=University
of Chicago and Cornell meet on the
gridiron next year for the first time
since 1899, if the managements of both
universities can agree on a place for
the game. It was reported from Chi
cago that the Ithacans had arranged
for d game on Marshall field, in that
city. on November 10. but this is de-
MED by the Cornell authorities.
Some time ago the manager of the
Cornell team wrote to Chicago asking
for a game. and he received a favor
able reply from Coach Stagg of that
institution November 10 was sug-
gested as an open date on both sched-
ules, but nothing was said as to the
place where the game was to be
played.
Cornell is somewhat averse to play
ing outside of Ithaca, as there Is no
big game as yet scheduled for this city
next fall.

report that Senator Long has endorsed
any senatorial candidate is false. He
has kept out Of the controversy. I have
talked to some of the leading politicians
of the state. and I want to say that I
never saw such a mixed u3 AFFAIR as
this senatorial fight now Is. Many new
alignments have been formed, and it Is
impossible to tell who Is ahead in the
race
The attitude which Cyrus Leland took
in the chairmanship fight has been con-
strued by many to mean that he has
lined up with Curtis for senator. Leland,
Kelly, and Dean were the ones who
engineered the Hanna campaign, and
the politicians say that the whole move
was in the hopes of getting a chairman
who would make q special effort to
elect those members of the legislature
who would pledge themselves to vote
for Curtis.
The long standing hostility of Leland
and Curtis must have been buried II
the suspicious of these politicians are
well founded.
When it comes to talking. however.
Mr.. Leland preserves his characteristic
reserve. He does not go on record
either for or against Curtis, and if any
body really knows where he stands,
that person is not telling.

MuRDoCK's ALADDIN's LAMP.
He shows senators About Use of AIco-
hoI for Light.

Washington. May 1s-victor Muir
dock. carried in his coat pocket yester-
day a lamp which he had imported
from Paris. He took it over on the
senate side and sent for a number OF
the members of the finance committee
who have the denatured alcohol bill be-
fore them Mr.. Murdock wanted to
prove that denatured alcohol provided a
better light than kerosene and in addi-
ton to being cheaper was also cleanlier.
He had the lamp ready for lighting and.
calling for Senator Overman of North
Carolina, took him into one Of the re-
cesses of the corridor where he proceed
ed to illuminate the darkness. Despite
the object lesson and the insistence of
various persons the denatured alcohol
bill is not in immediate prospect of pass
ing. Senator Aldrich, chairman OF the
committee before which it is pending
has gone away from town for several
days The rumor spread today that he
had abandoned Washington for the
summer, but this proved to be a canard
The proposition IS pending. however
before the committee to impose a tax
of fve cents a gallon on all alcohol used
for commercial purposes. Mr.. Murdock
is convinced that something stronger
than object lessons in i1luminants viii
have to be resoFted to in order to save
his bill

nuufber of points last night and possibly

very skeptica1 about any great damage
being done as yet to wheat and oats and
the advance the last two or three days
has been based largely on fear Of what
might happen rather than actual damage.

Fitzgerald Meets Cans Tonig1f

New York. May 1S.-The action of
Joseph Cans. who claims the light
weight and welterweight champion
ship, in issuing a challenge to the best
man i'll three pugilistic divisions, has
not parallel in the history of the
Queensberry game. and 1t is question
able If the ring ever possessed a man
with the varied accomplishments of
this chocolate-cOlored negro.
That his challeges were not based
on 9retension or were without the
solidity Of ample backing was made
evident when they were issued through
the management of the Twentieth
Century A. c. an organization that
will bring off some important bouts
in Madison Square Garden
Just when it began to look as If
Cans would not be permitted to defend
his titles in the ring (what a spectacle
"a champion begging for a battle,)
Willie Lewis. the rugged New York
welterweight, came to the front and
accepted the proposal of the negro.
These two men. therefore, will meet in
Madison Square Garden tonight in a
bout that is scheduled for ten rounds.
