"KEAN Il BLACK SHEEP. :"
Family, Brother Says, W'M Not did
Philadelphia KidnapDer.

j. j. Kean, who was arrested yesterday by the
Fhlladelphla police for the kidnapping of Fred
erlck Muth. was well known In this city though
he had for some time been forgotten. Keans
mother and three brothers live in an apartment
house at No. 967 Park avenue but Mrs Kean
could not be found there yesterday. 1t is un-
derstood that she has gone to Baltimore with
two of her sons. partly to avoid the notoriety at
tached TO the present case and partly to wit
ness the ordination of William Kean. a brother
Of J. j. Kean. into the Catholic priesthood. at
Woodstock Md. Kean is married and has three
children.
one of the Kean brothers was seen yesterday
and, although trfe reticent. he was very
bitter against his brother. He said Kean had
broken his mothers heart and turned out to be
the black sheep of the family. He declared
that none OF them would give him any help.
In 1894, when Kean left this city, he in
dlcted for embezZng $4,000 from the Harlem
River Bank by clever thefts scattered over a
period OF Two years, whlch We're SO carefully
covered up that they not discovered until
the bank went into the hands of receiver In
the spring of that year. Robinson Gill, who
had previously been involved in a Brooklyn
bank failure, was president of the Harlem
River Bank at the time. kean was pursued for
a short time. and indicted for grand larceny
in June 1894. but the case was never pressed.
The Philadelphia police. according TO Inspector
Mclaughlin have known since last Thursday
that Kean was the kidnapper 1t was last Thurs
day that Captain Donagh, of Philadelphia asked
the New York police TO watch the home of
Kean's relatives here. This information leaked
out accidentally, and the attendant publicity
made IL highly improbable that Kesn would visit
this city.

MEAT IN BRITISH ARMY.
Many Questions Ansarered IN House
of Commons.

London June 1s.-Chicago meat again FORMED
tho subject of several questions in the House OF
Commons this afternoon. Mr.. Htcks-Beach.
Conservative son Of the former Chancellor OF
the Exchequer, asked the Secretary for War; Mr
EIaldane, what quantity OF Chicago canned meat
was supplied 20 the troops in South Africa In the
late war, and what proportion OF deaths ought
TO have been described as due 10 ptoraine pol
soaing. The Secretary replied that rather more
rhan half The canned meat supplied to the Brit
Ssh trocps IN South Africa came from the United
States He could not say how much of this came
from Chicago. The War Office knew nothing
of any cases Of enteric fever which could be
classed as ptonaine poisoning.
Nj Lea. Liberal wanted TO know whether in
view Of the fact that the Committee on Agri-
culture Of the United States House Of Repre-
sentatives had omitted, in drawing UP the Meat
Tnspecrion bill. 10 stipulate that the packers
stamp the date Of manufacture on each article
% food sold, tho War Office would not Issue an
army order requiring every can OF meat sup
,,,e6 10 the army 10 be plainly stamped with
the date OF manufacture.
The Secretary replied that it had long been
condition of the ordinary War Office contracts
that tins of preserved food must have the date
NJ manufacture stamped inside the tins.
Mr.. Jacoby, chairman of the kitchen commit
tee OF the House said that no food Of any kind
used - the House of Commons came from Chi
caFo. Mr. Jacoby added that he was inVesu-
eating the finding of a box marked "Armours
Chickens"
BIr. Starkey. Conservative, asked if, in view
oS the fact that several persons died recently at
Hun after eating Argentine meat, and the un-
sanitary conditions under which American meat
was prepared, the president Of the Board Of
Trade would not take immediate steps TO have
each CONSIGNMENT Of foreign meat, timed or
otherwise, inspected on arrival in this country
ana certificate issued showing the date of in
spection.
The president Of the Board Of Trade. how
ever. said he was not IN q position AT present to
take the course suggested, but he added that
the board was considering the question Of OBJ
tainirg greater powers for dealing with imported
food
To another question Secretary Haldane said
he was aware of only one case in the last twelve
months fn which troops had refused TO eat ra-
tioIs Of canned meat a sample Of which was
u6nce of timed meat ratiOns in peace times, Mr.
Haldaue said that stocks Of such meats were |
always kept IN reserve for war purposes. It had |
been the practice periodically 10 issue these 10
the troops, thus turning over the stock ana !
avoiding any loss 70 the public. If the practice |
could be continued consistently with the health |
and WeIlbeing of the troops II would be con- |
tlued, but not unless investi cation showed that
no danger was TO be apprehended.

ity interest in the stock of the Equit-
able Life Assurance Society, purchas-
ed by Thomas F. Ryan from James

sent to the directors of the society a
proposed amended charted of the Ed
uitable which proposes that twenty
eight directors shall be elected direct
ly by the policy holders at the annual
meeting next December, and that
hereafter the policyholder directors
shall always constitute a majority of
the board.
This action was taken following the
reception by Mr.. Morton of letter
from Mr.. Cleveland under date of
May %, in which the former president
asks that the directors act at once on
the amended charter This will be
done at the regular monthly meeting
set for May 81. In the meanwhile
counsel for the society will ask the
court to modify the injunction issued
in the case of Lord ct al, against the
society, so that the charter may be
amended This injunction prohibited
any interference with with the pres
ent method of government of the soci-
ETY., but it is believed that it will be
modified by the court when it is
shown that the directors intend to
mutualize the Equitable.

Prof. Solomon Stoessel, of this city,

would end in a fairer decision.

Des MoineS, Iowa, May 23.-Un1ted
States Senator ]. P. Dolliver was to
day subjected to the humiliation OF
man whose candidacy for governor of
Iowa he had personally endorsed and
instructed its twenty-three delegates
to the state convention for another
candidate, and one whose ultimate
aim is to obtain the seat in the United
States senate now occupied by Dolli
yer himself. The Webster county
delegates tothe state convention were
all instructed to vote for the renomi
nation of Governor Cummins.
Iowa is in the throes of the bitterest
republican factional contest in the po
litical history of the state. Governor
Cummins, contrary to party precedent
and tradition, is a candidate for a
third term. Opposed to him is George
D. Perkins, eight years a member OF
Congress and editor and publisher OF
the Sioux City Journal.
Since Dolliver entered public life
Perkins newspaper had been his sup
porter and when Perkins announced
his candidacy for governor, Dolliver
wrote him a public letter of strong
personal endorsement. While Dolli
yer was at Washington struggling
with the rate regulation bill, the
friends of Cummins went to work to
capture Webster county of which
Fort Dodge is the county seat, and

TO THE JURY ON FRIDAY
END OF TERRANoVA CASE
In Yesterdays Session the Defense
Tried to Show That Unfortunate
New York Child was Unbalanced
When She Killed her Relatives.
Publishers Press,

New York, May 23.--Today's -
sion of the trial of Josephine Terrain
ova, charged with the killing of her
uncle and aunt Gaetano and Concetta
Riggio, in their home at Williams
bridge on the night of February %,
was devoted entirely to the examina-
tion of expert witnesses for the de-
fense who alleged that the expert
ence of the girl at the hands of her
uncle had weakened her mentally so
that she was not responsible for her
acts. They testified that the girl was
of unsound mind and not responsible
for the murder of her unnatural rela-
tives Their testimony, however, was
technical and failed to interest the
morbid crowd that filled the court
room which plainly showed that it ex-
pected more sensational revelations
The case will go to the jury Friday.
