VIII Plead Insa nifty

New York, July 9.-That the defense
Of Chester B. Runysn, former teller of
the Windsor Trust Company, who stole
nearly $1,000 from tie company, will
probably be insanity, was revealed today
when Rcnyan was arraigned to plead to
the indictment charging him with grand
larceny in the first degree.
Runysn's attorney, Wm. Cantwell,
entered plea of not guilty, but was
given until Monday to make any motion
ne desired. Cantwell said he might
enter an insanity plea and ask for com
mission 10 decide RunYsn's sanity. He
announced he will have az alienist ex-
anime Runyan in the Tomts.
To reporters Cantwell said later:
'There is strong faint of insanity in
RuDyan on the maternal side. His
grandmother died in an insane institu-
ton. His act in taking the money Is an
indication of hereditary insanity"
Detectives today continued their search
for the $25, 900 Of Runysn's loot which
has not been found, but got no trace of
the missing money.

CERTAIN men in the north who en-
listed in three months regiments in
1861, but were not sent to the front and
refused ,hen or later to enlist in regi-
ments that were sent forward, and GER
tain men who refused to go into the
service because they found the conditions
we're not what had been represented to
them, and we're mustered in only to be
Immediately mustered out, have been
clamorous for pensions. The Pension
Bureau has i.sned q statement showing
that these men did not serve in the civil
war for ninety days, and therefore are
not pensionabe. "Those who failed or
refused" the statement concludes, ITO
serve their country at least ninety days
IN its time of need are not entitled to
pension. and one would they shonld be
interested in a profound silence as to
their military records and their claims as
soldiers c. on the country" Such per-
sion seekers, says the Philadelphia
Record, as these have done much TO dis
credit the pension system and delay the
extension of very liberal treatment to
the men who really rendered service.

AN entirely new method Of 'trnst-
busting" has been evolved by the De-
partment of Justice, which, it is under
stood, is to be tried first on the tobacco
trust, and, if successful, will be applied
t. other mOnopolies of the country. The
scheme ia to have receivers appointed
to take charge of the business of the
trust and administer it in harmony with
the law. Such course, if sanctioned
by the court, would require the re-
ceivers taking charge OF a corporation
to administer It's business with view
to the gradual disiutegration Of such
monopoly; that is to say, sach receivers
administering such business would from
time to time be expected to sell and
dispose of the different property units
composing such monopoly in such a
way as 10 preserve all the essential
rights of the stockholders aud yet at
the same time ultimately give to the
general public the benefit of competitor
between separate and independent cor
porations of businesses. In a petition
to be filed in New York within few
days the government will ask that the
monopoly complained of be declared
illegal and in violation of the Sherman
law and that receivers be appointed.
1t is understood that il the plan proves
successful The same course will be taken
with the powder trust and other mono-
poles, if the evidence in possession Of
the government is sufficient to jus iiy

Mrs. Corey I'm Grand Opera.

Paris, July 5.-Msbtlle Corey, wife Of
the Pitteburg steel millionaire, has won
the first contention of her married life.
She has overcome her husbands 0ppos-
ition and will go on the grand opera
stage, probably making her debut in 1908
as Marguerite in "Faust," at tho Man
haitian Opera House, New York city.
1t was learned to-day that Mrs. Corey,
shortly after the arrival of herself and
her husband in Paris, following the we'd
ding in New York, resumed her studies
of voice culture under Jean de Reszke.
Mrs. Corey, according to her preceptor,
now has a voice ten times as powerful as
when she sang in comic opera in the
United States. Her voice also now has
certain melodic quality that it never had
before. The decision OF Mrs. Corey to re-
turn to the stage is declared to have been
against the earnest wishes OF her husband
He desired, it is said, that she give up the
stage altogether and enter the lists to
force an entrance into New York society.
There was no quarrel between husband
aud wife over the matter, bat Mrs. Corey
prevailed.

But when he was sentenced he blurted

Railway wreck With Commission.

The corporation commission is receiy-
ing great mass of communications
from people in Washington and those
living along the line of the Washington,
Arlington aud Falls Church electric rail-
way concerning the recent disastrous
wreck on that road.
The communications are general in
their nature, many of them containing
clippings from the Washington papers
with accounts of the accident and the
conditions of the service. So far the
attorney for the State in Alexandra
county has sent no communication TO
the commission, cOntending himself with
filing a report from newspaper of The
coroner's verdict and a review of the
case as made by the newspaper.
The Richmond News Leader says.
The commission will compile all the
data received bearing on the case, and
will take some action in the regular or
der of business. Some time ago the COM
mission issued an order against the rail-
way company, but this was not fiual and
so stated, and the commission is free to
supplement that order at any time.
Colonel Willard, yesterday made
the following statement in connec-
ton with the case:
The commission will possess itself of
all facts in the case and take such steps
az these facts and circumstances seem to
justify. The original case of the Com
monweslth at the relation of the corpora
ton commission against the Washing
ton, Arlington and Falls Church Electric
Railway il still on the docket OF the
commission, aud the commission is free
to issue such supplemental orders In this
case as may seem right and proper"

barrel, was elevated from the floor
about four feet and was fastened to

preached there one Sunday. While
preaching he bent forward and shout
ed out with great force the words Of
his text:
"The righteous shall stand, but the
wicked shall fall"
Just as these words escaped from
his lips, the pulpit broke from its
