FRAU Won ELBE RETRACTS
SHE WiTHDRAWs ACCUSATIONS
AGAINST Won MoLTKE.
Herr Harden's Case coIlapsing, His
Assertions Having Been Based
on Her Statements.

Berlin, Dec. 24.-The hearing OF the
Harden-Von Moltke case was resumed
here Monday. the morning session be
ing behind closed doors, but in the
afternoon the court was reopened to
the public.
This was after the examination OF
Frau Won Elbe, the divorced wife OF
Count Won Moltke. during the course
Of which she modified her former tes.
timony to such a surprising degree as
to influence the position Of the defense
to a considerable extent, many of Herr
Harden's assertions against yor
Moltke being based upon her previous
declarations.
Frau Won Elbe withdrew some o.
her statements derogatory to Count
Won Moltke's character and gave to
other statements she had made an en-
tirely different meaning than pre-
viously implied. Her physicians be
ing called to the stand, testified thai
she suffered from neurasthemia, and {
medical expert, DR.. Hirschfield. who
at the first trial had declared tina.
Count Won Moltke was abnormal
thereupon withdrew his expert opin
ion, which had been given after the
sworn testimony of Frau Won Elbe OF
that occasion.
Detectives who also were put OF
the witness stand gave evidence to the
effect that nothing definite was knowT
against Count Won Moltke relative t.
any abnormality,
The court appointed one of the
judges to proceed to Munich to take
evidence against the reliability O
Frau Won Elbe from Herr Harden's in
innate friend, Prof. Schweninger, wht
was Chancellor Won Bismarck's phys;
clan and who introduced her to Her
Harden after hearing her sweeping
assertions.

Chicago, Dec. 24.--A severe sleet
storm has badly demoralized tele-
graphic communication in all direc-
tions. Early Monday it was impos-
sible to reach st. Louis from Chicago.
save by way OF Omaha and Kansas
City. Peoria and Bloomington, ILL.,,
were both out of the world as far
as reaching them by wire was
concerned. All wires to the north
were working badly, and in the
east II was exceedingly difficult to
make a wire work through from
Chicago to New York, most Of them
being cut and relayed at Pittsburg.
There was much trouble in this direc-
tion, Fort Wayne reporting that many
wires and poles were down east OF
there, and that telegraphic communi.
cation was cut of. In the vicinity Of
Evansville, and between that place
and indianapolis, over which place
the storm was centered at eight
o'clock a. M, telegraphic communities

HART ACCUSATION IS FILED
MINNEAPOLIS ATTORNEY IS Ac-
cUeEp OF MISCONDUCT.
Letters to Chief Justice start and Gov.
Johnson Are Declared to Be
insulting.

st. Paul, Mimi, Dec. 24.-The accu-
sation against Francis B. Hart, the
Minneapolis attorney who recently at.
tackled the supreme court in letters to
Chief Justice Start and Gov. Johnson,
was filed Monday by Eli Southworth
of Shakopee, secretary of the board OF
law examiners. 1t is lengthy docu'
ment, and the charge against Mr.. Hart
is willful misconduct as an attorney.
After quoting extensively from Mr.
Hart's letter to Chief Justice Start
and Gov. Johnson, Mr.. Southworth
characterizes the whole as insulting
and tending to create distrust in the
court He says:
THAT on and about the seventh day
OF December, 1907, said Francis b
Hart conspired and published long
letter, over his own name as author
and formally addressed to the CHIEF
Justice of the supreme court by name
and official title. which letter was
couched in insulting and contemptu
Gus language, and purposely SO word
ed as to cause those persons who
might read said letter and believe the
statements, charges and insinuations
contained therein. to doubt the hon
esty and integrity OF said court, the
justices composing the same and of
certain district judges in the state"
A gross breach of ethics, Mr.. South
worth declared, was Mr.. Hart's action
in permitting a simultaneous publica'
tion of the letter in the newspapers
with the sending of the same to Chief
Justice Start and Gov. Johnson. He
states that he believes the whole thing
prepared for newspaper publication
rather than submission to the court
itself.
Gov. Johnson has not made public
the names of the five judges who will
sit In judgment on Mr.. Hart. He said
the list was in preparation, but that
owing to the fact that their accept
ance would have to be secured by wire
some delay would result.

URGING PRESIDENT
NEW APPEALS FROM eoLDFIELr
WILL BE FORWARDED.
SHERIFF GETTING BUSY
May Organize Company Of Ranger,
Each Mine Owner to Protect
Own Property After De-
cember 80.

Goldfield, New. Dec. 24.-Despite the
positive statement which came from
Washington Monday to the effect thai
the federal troops will be removed
from Goldfield on December 80. mine
owners have not given up and win ap
peal again to the president.
They will present, they say. some
matters which have not yet been laid
before him. one of these being what
they regard as positive evidence that
at least one deportation was attempted
by the Western Federation of Miners
in which attempt four rides were used.
While the miners were preparing to
send further evidence to the presi
dent, Sheriff ingalls, and Capt Cox,
the personal representatives of Gov.
Sparks In Goldfeld, were comforting
on plans for the preservation of law
and order after the troops depart.
Sheriff Ingalls, said Monday night that
he is seeking at least so new men to
constitute force of deputies who will
patrol the camp night and day, armed
with guns.
Legislature May Be Convened.
The rumor has been current here
that company Of rangers is contem-
plated and as this could not be done
without action by the legislature, the
statement of Capt. Cox is taken to
mean that il such plan is decided
upon the legislature will be convened.
A suit against the Western Fedora.
ton of Miners is to be brought by the
Goldfield Mine Operators association
In the federal court. An injunction
viii be asked for restraining the men,
bers of the local miners union, which
is affiliated with the Western Fedora.
ton, from interfering In any way
with the operation of the mines in
Goldfield. This suit win be filed De-
cember 26.
Il has been definitely. decided that
December 80 each individual mine
owner Of each company. lease or mine,
shall take care of his own property,
independent of the association. This
will necessitate the putting on of many
guards.
Feeling at Washington.
Washington, Dec 24.--The appeals
to President Roosevelt to have federal
troops remain in Goldfield. in the opin.
ION of White House officials, indicate
desire on the part Of those sending
them to rely solely on the national
government for protection.
After a consultation with President
Roosevelt Monday, Senator Nixon OF
Nevada expressed it as his opinion
that the president could not very well
modify his order directing the with.
drawal of the troops. The question
of having the state take some active
part in protecting the interests at
Goldfield. the senator said, was a ques.
tion under active consideration at this
| time.

GOLDEN JUBILEE OF WAR.
YOUNGEST OF THEM e5
Review by Lord Roberts and Banquet
In Albert Kaleidoscope from
King and Poem by
klpIing.

London. Dec. 24.--"The remnant Of
that desperate host" as Kipling de-
scribed the veterans of the Indian
mutiny, gathered Monday afternoon in
Albert hall to the number of more
than 700. to commemorate the golden
jubilee of the struggle which ended in
the Indian empire being saved to
Great Britain.
On the pension roll In the war Office
are the names of 1900 survivors of
the mutiny, to each OF whom an invi-
tation was sent for the reunion, but
old age prevented many from attend
ing. Those who could travel. incIud-
ing officers and men, came from every
corner OF the United Kingdom and,
with breasts covered with medals,
made brave showing as they drew up
outside the hall to be reviewed by
Lord Roberts.
Youngest Of Them Is 65.
The youngest among the veterans
was 65 years of age, he having been
drummer boy during the lighting,
and even now looked to be youngster
as compared with his companions
bowed with the weight of years.
The review was brief, as the infirm-
tiles of the veterans prevented them
from standing long in line, SO, headed
by the field marshal, they marched to
Albert Hall, the galleries of which
were filed with cheering crowds, and
sat down to a banquet
King Sends Telegram.
Lord Roberts, who presided, read a
telegram from the king, who ex-
pressed the appreciation of the whole
empire for the services rendered by
the army of which the veterans were
members, Lord Curzon, chancellor
of Oxford university, gave the toast:
THE Survivors of the Indian Mutiny,"
and Lewis Waller, the actor, recited
verses especially written by Rudyard
Kpiing, OF which the following is one.
To-day across our fathers graves,
The astonished years reveal
The remnant of that desperate host,
Which cleaned our east with steel"
