MAKE ELECTRIC BILLS SMALL.
Great Invention Of New York Lands
in Tolls Of The Law.


New York, Aug. 3d. Here's man
who according to the police would have
been a second Rockefeller In point Of
wealth in a short time. If his alleged
saNesmnney ON your gas-bilI scheme had
not been nipped by the gas and electric
people, VINO were the ones affected
The inventive genius of Herman Barth
. New York electrician. The electric
company Of that city charges that he
made d machine when, attached to 4
gas Or electric meter, makes the indi-
Gator 90 backward.
The plan Is simple, say detectives
who worked on the case, but the gas
and electric people figure that If it
had been allowed to get into general
use they would have been owing Barth
money, and might have been forced to
give him their business. Several people
are believed to be using the handy lit
tie contriyance.
The thing which every one has been
looking forto save your gas bills
IL fully realized IN THIS little iron box.
It'll only drawback was that one must
take IL of once or twice just tx let a
few cents worth Of gas register on the
meter about the time the collector
comes around.

Jackson, Ky, Jan. 10.--The trial of Judge James Hargis on the charge of participating in the assassination of Dr. B. D. Cox in this city three years ago was suddenly postponed here today as the result of writ of prohibition issued today by the court of appeals of Kentucky.
 This writ was granted upon the ap- plication of Attorney General N. B. Hays and James B. Adams, common wealths attorneys for the second ju- dicial district. The petitioners allege that Special Judge William Carnes Of Williamstown who was appointed by Governor Beckham to try the case of Judge Hargis and others with the as- sassination of Dr. Cox is conducting the trial in an arbitrary manner and is overstepping the bounds of law:
 The principal objection to Judge Carnes Is his ruling that temporarily suspended Sheriff Brock Crawford and the naming of Robin Burton as elisor. The petitioners allege that Judge Carnes has directed the elisor to sum mon bystanders for the ury which Is In violation of a statute passed at the last session of the Legislature.
 When court adjourned here at 2 o'clock this afternoon 1t was evident a great change In the feeling of the people of this city. Judge Carnes said that he thought the writ would be dis missed on a demurrer which he would file tomorrow when he reached Frank fort.
 The excitement has subsided and the town is almost deserted.

 Washington. Jan. 1o.-A committee representing the Eastern Cherokee In- dians today presented . petition to the Senate Committee which is engaged in Investigating the affairs of the Five Civilized Tribes. praying for relief on account of the payment of yi47,ooo made to attorneys on the authority or the Secretary of the Interior.
 The payment was made in connection with an effort to recover funds from the Government and the Eastern Cher okees contend that tho sum was far In excess of the amount called for by their contract. They, therefore. request that Secretary Hitchcock be asked to ex- plain the expenditures and that relief be granted if it be found that 1t was excessive.
 The Cherokee committee goes into great detail concerning the employment of attorneys, saying that after the ser- vices of the late Hon. W. B. Springer had been engaged the Indians met with objections from Secretary Hitchcock and upon his recommendation made a new contract with St. Louis law firm, a member of which they say Is q broth CT of the son-in-faw of Secretary Hitch- cock.
 The Senate committee has not taken up the petition and the members de- cline to give out anything concerning 1t or to forecast their course in deal ing with 1t.

 This action on tho part of Justice Fitzgerald appears to dispose of ru- morE that difference of opinion between the Justice and District Attorney might result in a postponement of the be- ginning of the Thaw trial. Evidence of this feeling was shown only a few hours before the order was signed, when the Justice refused an applica- ton for such an order by the District Attorney.
