When the morning came felt that
the last day had indeed come But 1
had faith in my lawyers. I knew that
Judge Powers and Mr.. Hoover and
Mr.. Wells had done all there was in
their power to open those prison doors
for me. 1 knew how they had worked
and I knew what Il meant for them as
well as for me- When we came near the
courthouse this morning I looked at the
building and thought OF, O, so many
things. But now 1t is ali over.
Il can never, never, never thank
everybody enough. 1t SENS that with
Judge Powers coming all this way to

Hoover, who had never know me. doing
it here, and the jury-O, how can I ever
say enough TO tell them-to make them
understand how I feel. Words do not
seem to express Il IN the slightest de-
gree"
Just then Mr.. Hoover came into the
room and Mrs Bradley said
"Oh Mr.. Hoover, isn't there some way
can get word to the 1ury?'

again, under another law, they
have instituted proceedings against
the gaslight companies on account
of deficient candlepower and impuri-
ties, but the proviso in this act
which the Commissioners believe
should be repealed or considerably
modified, makes it difacult to sus-
tain such a prosecution, for which
reason the inspector Of gas and
meters has not heretofore recon-
mended it. believing that not until
the present time since he went into
Office has he had evidence which
would maintain cases within the
exception Of the proviso.
'It is believed that the question
of the price of gas can be as well
determined by the Commissioners
upon expert testimony as that Of
the character and quality of gas,
and that the whole question of pub
lie or private lighting, whether by
gas or electricity, should be dealt
with by the Commissioners under
enlarged powers.
Similar authority to regulate the
telephone company would be very
desirable. The Commissioners be-
lieve that a regulated private mu-
nicipal or public utility service is at
present the best for the District Of
Columbia They will submit a draft
of legislation clothing them with

the Commissioners say:
''The Commissioners have used

possible, but they fee that their

THE gas companies, under au-

Congress which the Commissioners
believe should re repealed. have IN

through their corporation counsel,
done everything possible to prevent

they desire to see made to what

Live Stock Men Secure Con-

NOT SUBJECT TO POST
MORTEM EXAMINATION

New York. July 6.-Representa-
tives of the live stock echanges
throughout the west, in conference
with representatives of all the big
packers, yesterday won what they
consider an important victory, doing
away substantially with the PROPOSE
ton OF the packers that all cattle re-
ceived from the shippers must be
sold subject to postmortem examina
tion.
This proposition, which has been
fought by all the live stock men, will
apply only to dairy cows and to COM
mon canning cows.
The packers have agreed to pass all
range cattle, which make up a large
proportion of the receipts at the big
stock yards. The live stock ex-
changes represented were those of st.
Louis, Kansas City, st. Joseph, Sioux
City, Milwaukee, Buffalo, and Omaha.
Situation Improved.
Some weeks ago the packers an
nounced that they would buy no
more cattle, except subject to the
postmortem examination laws, which
left the shipper to hold the sack"
In case the animal was rejected af-
ter it was killed, the shipper got no
pay.
The decreased demand caused big
rise in meat prices and a general
complaint was made against the ac-
tion of the packers. The agreement
made yesterday will in a great meas
ure, alleviate this,

have stolen $96,317 from that COM
pany, and Mrs. Laura Carter, the
woman who betrayed him, admitting
his place of concealment to the po-
lice after he had given her a part
Of the stolen funds, were arraigned
in police court today. Runyan's
spirit appeared to be broken by the
disastrous outcome Of his stealing.
What had become of $4,000 of
mystery as far as the public was
concerned up TO the time the two
prisoners were taken into court.
Runyan had S54,4l0 when arrested.
OF the balance, he said he had lost
about $4,000 In speculation on stocks
before he disappeared from the Of
flee Of the Windsor Trust company
last Monday; that he had given $15,-
900 to Mrs. Carter, and that he be-

she had any Of the trust company's
funds, admitting that Runyan gave
her $1,000, but asserting that she re-
turned II at his request. On the way

she had deposited all the money Run

OPENING FOR 5000
new TELEGRAPHERs

Chicago, ILL.,, July 6.-Several thou
sand young men who are willing to
prepare themselves, can have an op-
portunity during the next few months
OF entering the railway service in the
branch that has produced the great
est number of higher officials.
The railroads are face to face with
the task of securing at least 5000
telegraph operators, and possibly dou-
BILE that number, during the next nine
months This great number of new
telegraphers is necessitated by the
new law which limits the hours of
labor in this branch of railway SER
vice.
Under the new law, operators are
permitted to work only certain hours.
hence each station whore a telegraph
office is located must have at least
three men for the twenty-four hour
shift instead of two as has been the
usual rule.
