TWO GIRLS ACQUITTED

Amite City, Ia, Jan. 27.-Joseph-
inc Allezee, 20 years old, ana Bardet-
to Cattelmento, q, two Italian girls,
we're acquitted here early today of
the murder of Joe Cattelmento, 20
years old, husband of Mrs Bardetto
Cattelmento. The girls were accord
ed an ovation when the jury exoner-
ated them of all blame. Mrs. Allezee,
herself deserted by her husband,
learned that her sister, Mrs. Cattel-
mento, was in danger of meeting the
same fate. When Joe boasted," tes-
tilted Mrs. Allezee, that there would
be another grass widow il the family,
replied that there may be widow,
but certainly not grass widow. Then
shot him."

HASH WAITED
w HILE ROOSEVELT
AND FORAKER
Vigorously Discussed the
Brownsville Case.
Unlocked For Inciden
Occurred at Gridiron
Clubs Annual
Dinner.

Washington, Jan. 27-TheTe was a
the annual dinner given last night
by the Gridiron club. The now noted
Brownsville case. which involves the
dismissal of negro troops, was de-
bated for over an hour with almost
as much earnestness, it is said, as
marked the recent consideration of the
subject by the senate. The attitude
of the president was defined by no
less a parsonage than President
Roosevelt himself. The remarks OF
Senator Foraker, which followed, un-
expectedly laid the basis for a vigor-
Gus rejoinder by the president. The
club members and the guests became
SO greatly interested in the unlocked
for incident that the dinner grew
cold. The entree had just been
reached when the president took the
floor. He opened with pleasing essay
on the necessities Of public and pri-
cate morality but wound up with a
justification of his course in issuing
his order of dismissal and declared
that the senators who opposed his ac-
tion were all wrong. 1t has been an
unwritten law that nothing that is
said by any guest at Gridiron dinner
is ever repeated, but this incident was
of such an unusual character that
the whole town seems to be talking
about it. Accurate or inaccurate the
one story is that the president of the
club, innocent of what was to come,
mildly suggested that few words
from Senator Foraker might not be
out of place. The Ohio senator, in de-
claring that he was not responsible
for his official conduct to the execu-
tive, remarked that he might better
characterize the remarks of the speak
er who had preceded him as Tom
Reid, had those of former execu-
tive: THAT man seems to labor under
the belief that he has just discovered
the ten commandments" His de-
fense was earnest. He had hardly TAX
en- his seat when the president arose
and spoke for a good half hour. 1t
had all been so absorbing that when
President Roosevelt sat down the
hour for adjournment had come with
out the other viands having been laid
before the distinguished assemblage.

Sherman, the son of rich st. Louis
manufacturer, is under arrest charged
with perpetrating a fraud through
the mails, with forgery, and with lar
ceny. Young Sherman was employed
by Montgomery Ward and company
and is charged by that firm with send
ing circulars, supposedly on account
of overpayments, to the house, to
himself. 1t was ON this charge that
he was arrested yesterday under an
accusation of forgery. The postoffice
department caused his second arrest
for carrying out the alleged fraud by
use of the mails. Following the gov
ernment's accusation came a charge
from LOFTS Brothers, diamond mer-
chants, that Sherman secured gems
from rnem on the installment plan
and has failed to account either for
his purchase or for payments on
them. Sherman begged permission to
kill himself when arrested tonight.
He was released on bond following
his first arrest, but is now in Jail.

Canton is up against proposition
that is of vital importance. The ques-
ton is whether this city shall enter
tain the convention of the National
Letter Carriers association next Sep
tember. 1t is obvious that the local
organization cannot bear the neces-
sary expense. 1t is also obvious that
the convention will be of benefit to the
city in more ways than one. Next TO
a political convention this will be one
of the largest and most important that
any city can secure. The delegates
and visitors will not only spend enough
money here to make their visit worth
while from a purely selfish financial
viewpoint, but they will advertise the
Sity to the uttermost parts of the land,
and advertising is as good for a city
as for an individual. Canton has as
few things to be ashamed Of as any
other town in the land. 1t has more
things to be proud or than most Oh
them. Canton has the finest and most
eommodious auditorium in the state,
and which will compare favorably
with any similar building anywhere.
The hotel accommodations here are
better than in many cities much larg-
er. The associations connected with
the memory of the martyred Mckinley
add a patriotic interest to Canton, and
the natural surroundings combine to
attract the visitor.
Should the city pass up this con-
vention it might as well give up the
idea of getting any others of national,
or even state importance. The only
way out of it is to get hustle on, and
get it right away.
As giving some idea of the magni-
tude of the convention it may be men.
toned that when the convention was
held in Syracuse, N. Y, two years ago,
over 5000 people were in the parade.

Philippine Horses and Dogs sarreo.

Washington, Jan. 27.-The agricul-
tural department has decided that it
cannot permit the bringing into this
country from the Philippines of the
favorite riding horse and two highly
priced dogs owned by General Leon
ard Wood The department does not
care to take the risk of being impowrt-
ed into this country the dreaded live
stock disease of surTa, which is wide
spread in the Philippines. The pro-
eesses of multiplication Of this bacillus
are extremely rapid. One Of the most
common ways In which the germs are
transmitted from one animal to an
other is through the medium OF flies.
This fact makes ii almost useless 10

GRAND Jury
In Illinois Charged With
Smothering indictments
Against County
Officials.
SHERIFF MAKESCHARGES

Peoria, H., Jan. 27.--Charged with
smothering indictments against for
meT county officials, rs members of
the November grand jury have been
summoned to appear before the pres
ent inquisitorial body tomorrow to
Scholes, of "whitewashing" the ac-
cused under power of political pres
sure. The district attorney has as
cured the present grand jury that ev-
idence was presented to the last pan
el amply sufficient to warrant true
bills, but that Foreman Wallace Mat
thews, a lifelong friend of Sheriff
Sheriff Porter, against whom grave
accusations of grating were made,
declared that he did not want Porter
to leave Office with bad name, pre-
vailed on the other jurors to take
the same view and refused to return
indictments.
Former Sheriff c. e. Johnson, who
first made the graft" charges, was
accused of being insane and even ar
rested and held before jury, will
go before the grand jury early in the
week to tell his story. He is pre-
pared to make charges of the gravest
character against many former offic-
ials and to support with an avalanche
Of evidence. The states attorney
says a big batch of indictments will
be returned by the latter part of the
week.
