LAWYERS CONFER IN
HARTJE DIVORCE Case
CONTENTION AS TO EVIDENCE
ON WHICH REoPENlNG OF
TRIAL WILL BE BASED.
NEGRO PERJURER
SEEKS AN APPEAL
colored Tailor Convicted Of Giving
False Testimony Accusing Woman
Of Improper Relations with Her
coachman, May Get Another Trial.

Philadelphia, Oct. 9.-The attor-
neys representing both sides in the
sensational Hartje divorce case held
a conference in this city Tuesday aft
ernoon relative to the evidence on
which argument will be made in the
superior court on the petition fled OH
behalf of Augustus Hartje requesting
that the case be reopened because of
newly discovered evidence.
The appeal filed by Hartje from the
verdict of the Pittsburg court refus-
ing to grant him divorce is pending
in the superior court. A decision in
the case was expected Monday, but the
application to reopen the case fled
in chambers on Saturday probably is
responsible for the failure of the court
to announce its decision.
Arguments on Perjury Case.
Lawyers appeared before the supe-
rior court Tuesday and made argu-
ment on the appeal of William B. De
Cost, the colored tailor of Pittsburg,
who was convicted of perjury in testi-
mony given in one of the cases grow
ing out of the divorce litigation. De
Cost is serving an Imprisonment Of
two years in the western penitentiary.
The charge against De Cost is based
upon testimony he gave in the trial Of
Clifford Hooe, the colored coachman,
who was also named by Hartje as Co
respondent. Hooe was convicted of
giving false testimony in favor Of the
husband during the divorce suit.
De Cost during the Hooe trial tes-
titled that white woman came to his
tailoring establishment and had shaken
hands and conversed with Hooe and
| that the latter had introduced her to
him as Mrs. Hartje. He subsequently
identified Mrs Hartje in the court
room as the woman who visited his
place Of business. AS the result of
this testimony he was indicted for
/ perjury.
Say Indictment Is Defective.
| In the arguments Tuesday counsel
for the negro commended that the in.
dictment was defective because it ac-
cused him of one charge of perjury
and De Cost was convicted on another.
Counsel laid stress On the point that
the Identification of Mrs. Hartje in
court was merely matter of belief,
and that If he was mistaken he did not
commit perjury. Counsel for Mrs
Hartje commended that the identified
ton was positive and direct and there
fore De Cost was guilty of perjury

Prohibition in Kansas.

The Topeka Capital furnishes inter
esting evidence that prohibition in that
state, as in Iowa, which gave it up as
a failure, does not prohibit. Says the
Capital:
During the month the number of
liquor sales again broke the record,
four drug stores were raided, three
druggists turned in their permits to sell
Intoxicating liquor, and one pleaded
guilty to keeping and maintaining a
liquor nuisance. Reports yesterday
were filed with the clerk of the probate
court, showing that the liquor sales
made by the druggists in Topeka during
September are greater than ever be-
fore. The number of sales reported
was 1888. For the month of August,
the sales reported were 22,447. This
leaves an increase of 536 liquor sales
for September. What makes the in
crease still more of surprise is that
Topeka druggists have lately formed
the habit of compelling applicants for
liquor to swear that the liquor is want
ed for medical purposes. Formerly the
applicants for pleasure in liquor form
erly signed their names to a blank.
Now they don't. The druggist asks
specifically what disease the, liquor is to
cure. After he has finished filling out
the application the druggist holds up
his hands and announces: you do
solemnly swear that the statement
made in this affidavit is true, SO help
you God. It was thought that this
ceremony would cause falling off in
the number Of liquor sales, but the
theory has proven wrong. The fact
that the ordinary individual is compel
led to swear falsely to secure liquor,
seems to make little difference in the
number Of liquor sales reported"
The effect of the law is thus revealed
in increased consumption of whisky
and contagious disregard for the sac
credness of an oath. Sumptuary legis-
lation brings in its wake a chain of
evils as bad or. worse than the evil
which it was designed to cure. Dubu-
que may be better off with Sunday clos
ing of saloons than it was with open
saloons on Sunday. What beer went
over the bar is sold out in kegs and

Bottle displaces draught beer and the
consumption of whisky has increased.
That the evil of intemperance has been
combatted successfully and an inch of
ground gained is proposition calling
for proof. Telegraph Herald.

Concentration Run Mad.

In his speech at St. Louis President
Roosevelt said:
81 firmly believe that there should be
national legislation to control all in
dustrial corporations doing an inter-
state business, including the control of
the output of their securities.
An industrial corporation is one en-
gagged in manufactures. In the sugar
trust case the supreme court held that
even though the product was sold in
other states the manufacture of sugar
is not interstate commerce. The ex-
ecutive overrules the supreme court
and decides that it is. He would gov
ern Dubuque's factories from Washing
ton because some of their products are
sold beyond the borders of the state.
What the state creates he would deny
the state power to control. The leading
strings of the country's commerce and
industry he would hold at the national
capitol, reducing states to nonentities,
diyesting them of the power which they
have continuingly exercised patriot
ically and wisely.
For the party in power what possi-
bilities this suggests! Every industrial
corporation & subject for campaign
leyies, and through control of commerce
secured perpetuation in Office. A bureau
of underlings to the chief executive
displacing the attorney-general, county
attorneys, grand juries and executive
councils of fifty-two states. All legis-
lation in the federal courts, of judges
appointive and serving for life instead
of in the state courts, of judges cleo
tive, serving limited terms and required
to have the approval of the people te
continue in Office.
One might go on ad infinitum detail
ing the dire consequences of adoption
of the presidents policy. It proposes
substitution of imperialism for federal
ism and bureaucratic for popular gov
eminent.
President Roosevelt is suffering from
administration grown out OF his ego
ism. He confounds the national gov
eminent with himself and swallows VI
the latter in his own inentity. Other
may be honest, but he is satisfied 0
his own integrity and seeks to cut
way for himself to bestride the nation
bringing all things within his own range

UNFORTUNATES SUFFER.
One of Many Disadvantages of Tariff
a. FOstered Trusts,

One OF Many Disadvantages Of Tariff
o. FOstered Trusts.
Highly protected Germany, like the
United States, has discovered that the
protective tariff fosters trusts and
combinations which force up prices.
In consequence there, as here, the great
Increase in the cost of living Is forcing
the workmen to demand higher wages,
and many people are denouncing a
policy that unnaturally advances prices
beyond what limited incomes can bear
without privation.
There Is in Germany, rs here, large
number of endowed charitable institu-
tons which find under this increased
cost Of living partial stopping of
their activity. 1t costs nearly 80 per
cent more both In Germany and here
to feed and clothe charity patients In
hospitals and inmates Of homes for
the aged and helpless, the orphan, the
blind and others whose care devolves
upon society. The incomes of these in
situations being practically stationary.
they are compelled to decrease the
number of those unfortunates they
shelter or reduce expenses, so that suf-
fering is inevitable. This is one of
the many disadvantages Of the tariff
fostered trusts and protecting them in
unduly advancing the price of their
products.

Federal INCOME TAX.
Numerous Obstacles In the Way Of
Accom- plishment.

Numerous Obstacles In the Way Of
Accomplishment.
If we are to have a federal income
tax, it is evident that the income from
land will escape taxation under the
decision of the supreme court in 1898.
In that case Mr.. Choate's argument
was so adrolt that the court reversed
itself and decided that to tax the in
self. Now, an income tax that would
not apply to all the great landed pro-
prietors would hardly be fair and
Just tax upon the income of others
who would have to pay it. There is no
more equitable tax than the tax upon
incomes If it is applied to all and
graded according to their means to pay
that is. the greater the income the
higher rate OF taxation.
President Roosevelt in his speech at
iIdrri Surg reiterated his opinion that
incomes should be taxed and also that
great fortunes should be, If not confis-
Gated. ut least greatly diminished by
an inheritance tax. AS 1t requires an
almost unanimous public sentiment to
amend the constitution, the income tax
looks like farof proposition unless
the Incomes from land are allowed to
20 free of taxation. How, therefore,
does President Roosevelt propose to
carry out his recommendations? There
would seem to be but one way, and
that Is to so pack the supreme court
that it will reverse its income tax de-
cision. There is good reason to believe
that the majority of one against the
income tax has already been changed
by later appointments and that the de-
cision TO appoint Secretary Moody as
one of the justices will make Il certain
majority in favor of an income tax
when such Il question is again up for
decision.
There is a big obstacle to carrying
out this change In the complexion of
the supreme court, for 1t requires "the
advice and consent Of the senate" to
confirm Justice Of the supreme court,
and there is Il lurking suspicion that
the Republican majority of the senate
is not in full accord with taxing in
comes. and there will be more opposi-
ton to the confiscation of large for
tunes through an excessive Inheritance
tax.
The Democratic plan is to 80 amend
or enact laws that there will be no
protection or special privileges to build
up these enormous fortunes. while the
Republican plan Is to tax the many for
the benefit Of the few and then after
the few arc dead confiscate a large
proportion of their i'll gotten gains as
restitution for years Of plundering.
