THINGS LOOK GOOD TO THEM.
Prominent Capitalists Declare There
Is No Cause for Uneasiness.

NEW YORK, September 1S-Two promi-
nent capitalists interviewed here as to pres
ent financial and commercial conditions and
possible troubles ahead think alike that
there is no cause for uneasiness.
Sir William c. Van Horne, chairman of
the board of directors of the Canadian
Pacific Railway Company, said:
The time has come when Wall street can
no longer ignore the great prosperity that
prevails throughout North America. Bust
ness will go ahead, Wall street notwith
standing.
Tight money might be the result of two
or because of the active conditions. the
great activity in trade. The present tight
ness is caused by the latter condition but
ii is not hurting anybody
Richard G. kerens, the St. Louis fnancier,
said: "A year ago the country was at flood
tide OF its greatest industrial prosperity.
Then came a scarcity of labor. followed by
stringent money conditions and recession
in building and kindred enterprises But
this should not be called depression
1T Is generally believed in the west that
the worst has been passed for this season.
An all-important consideration however, is
the crops. A few weeks more of favorable
weather and a bumper corn crop Will be as
Sured. The yield of other cereals has been
fair. Ample money to move the corn crop
seems to be forthcoming. Therefore it may
well be concluded that there will be moth
ing like panic or even serious depression"

Every depa-tm and agency of the city
government has been utilized to perpetuate
its powers. Favors have been granted and
bargains made wherever political support
could be obtained. Influences are being
exerted through the police and building de-
partments, among contractors who have
dealings with the city and by an army of
city employees with arbitrariness and
a resort to questionable methods never
surpassed in any American municipality.

political ring for another, but to give a
better administration to the city of Cleve-

mental ideas of popular control and in

ST. PETERSBURG, September 1S-The
police recently arrested young girl, nick

Mrs. Bodley Disinherited.

Mrs. Bodley never saw her mother again
and there was no communication between
them Young Bodley got place as second
gardener for William X. Vanderbilt, near
by, and he and his bride lived in a little
cottage at one of the entrances to the
grounds. II is said that after Mrs. Wander
bilt learned of the circumstances of Mrs
BOdleys position she took a decided per
sonal interest in the affairs of the comely
young wife of the gardener. Mrs. Boiey
learned of the death of her mother from
the newspapers and attended the funeral
When the will was read and it was learned
that she was cut OFF she accepted the situa-
ton. although for time it was said that
she would contest the will.
Mr.. Taylor took the death of Mrs. Head
very much to heart. He had been ailing
for long time and had been under the
care of a nurse. After the funeral Mrs
Bodley made an effort to see him. This

COST FOR WITNESSES
SUMMONING PERSONS TO TES-
THY FOR THE DEFENSE.

The custom prevalent in the District Su-
prema Court, of having the United States
marshal summon witnesses for the de-
Tense in criminal cases is as old the
court itself. The cost attached is merely
80 cents for each witness cited to appear at
the trial. No witness fee Is paid by the
United States to persons thus summoned
unless they be non-residents when their at
tendance is directed by special order of the
justice presiding. after an affidavit has
been filed by the defendant that the pres
of the witness Is necessary for his
proper defense and that he is financially
unable to pay the fees and mileage neces-
sary to insure the attendance of the wit
ness.
Deputy Marshal Robson stated today
that the cost to the government for the fees
of witnesses for the defense does not aver
age 500 annually, and the cost Of summon
ing them would not exceed, in his opinion.
$1,000 a year. This sum is charged by the
marshars office against the United States
and is paid out of blanket appropriation
for United States marShaIs fees.
The marshars authority to summon wit
nesses for the defense without cost is based
not only on an order of the District Su-
preme Court, passed April 4, 1867, but is
contained in section S7S of the Revised
Statutes or the United States, section So,
statutes applying to the District of Column
bia, and section 800 of the code. The code,
however. provides only for the payment of
witnesses fees and not cost of process. This
cost of subpoena-servng, however, is
charged by the marshal, under authority of
the courts order, which has never been
voked or modified.
A published statement that United States
Attorney Baker had hit upon a plan of saw
ing thousands of dollars annually to the
government by requiring defendants to pay
the cost of process for witnesses necessary
to their defense is characterized as absurd
by another official of the District Supreme
Court and is denied by the assistants of
Mr. Baker, who is in Utah examining wit
nesses In the case of Mrs. Annie NJ Brad
ley charged with murder in connection
with the death of former Senator Brown
of Utah.
Saving Would Be Small
Instead of saving large sum-" the lat
ter official said. you can see from the esti-
mate of Mr.. Robson that not more tnan
81. 600 a year could be saved, and that at
the expense of taking from impecunious
persons charged with crime the inalienable
right accorded them by the Constitution of
the courts compulsory process to reach
witnesses necessary to proper defense. 1t
is far from probable. in my opinion, that
the District Supreme Court will amend its
time honored rule to save the government
the paltry sum of 81 600 year at such cost
to personal liberty. The delay incident to
the suggested change also would greatly re-
tard the business of the court. and the time
