| Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. September 6-The defense
Of Laura M. Carter rested at IL o'clock
this morning. after Assistant District At
torney Marshall had finished the cross-ex-
animation of the defendant During the
morning session of the trial Justice Whit
man committed Edward Anderson. the fore
man OF a gang which was running steam
drill outside. for contempt of court. The
drill had made it almost impossible to hear
anything in the court room. and at 1885
o'clock Judge Whitman sent a court Off
Ger out to tell them to stop.
The court officer came back and said they
refused
Go out and bring in the foreman" SAID
court officer returned with big ruddy man
with a heavy black mustache.
Are you the foreman of the gang that is
running this drill?" asked the court
Yes"
What is your name?'
Edward Anderson"
Il made an agreement with your con-
tractor yesterday that he should stop at
1870 O'Clock. and we should let him know
when recess came. I sent out at 1890 this
morning to ask you to stop The officer
came back and said that you said you
would not. Did your"
G.
Did you?"
Yes"
You are under arrest for contempt of
court. Take him downstairs and go out and
arrest the other men if they refuse to
stop"
Soon after this the steam drill stopped.
When the Carter woman took the stand
to finish her cross-examination as to
whether or not she got 5000 of the Wind
sor Trust Company's money. knowing that
Chester Runyan had stolen it, she was
questioned by Mr.. Marshall concerning the
writing in her account book
The writing in the book she said. was
all in her handwriting or that of her
friend. Harry Kirkstein, she thought. Once
more she reiterated that the name of Dayn
was the one under which she got a safe
deposit box with the Garfield Company.
Runyan. she said. had, as far as she knew
never seen the book.
Who. then. wrote this name Dane in
this book?"
That is Mr.. and Mrs Dane who lived
| In the next fiat to me on Goth street. They
were friends of mine. That isn't the same
as the name I used. That was 'Dayn"
And Chester Runyan suggested 1t to
your
Yes"
Didn't it strike you as strange that
Runyan should suggest to you the same
name as that of friends whom you had
known for a year,"
at wasn't the same He spelled it diff
ferently for me. l did not think of it at
all
Mr.. Marshall got the wonans account
book in evidence. in spite of Mr.. Goldfogles
objection She finally admitted that it
must have been Harry Kirkstein who wrote
the name Dane in her book. but could not
remember the occasion of his writing it.
Mr.. Marshall could not get her to ac-
knowledge. however. that the name
Dane written in the book before she
knew Runyan had anything to do with
the name Dayn, which she used when she
went to the safe deposit company.
Yesterday, madam, you swore.' said
Mr.. Marshall. that you did aot know
where the Hotel Gibson is"
NO: l said I did not know one on
Thirty-first street"
where is it?'
"On Fourth avenue. I think. near
Thirty-fifth street"

Reformatory legislation. while beneficial
to the community at large. has incidentally
considerably injured army officers, accord
ing to the annual report of Maj Gen. Will
liam c. McCaskey. commander of the De-
partment of Dakota. He says that Rate
legislation. pure food laws and the In
crease in the cost of living within the last
thirty years have injuriously affected the
personnel of the service financially. All
grades in the army. especially the civil
employees, have been Disseminated against
and that they are worthy and underpaid is
unquestioned.
Based upon an experience of many
years, Gen. McCaskey demands the restora-
ton of the canteen feature in post ex-
changes. Other recommendations are that
the weekly practice march with packs be
eliminated; that all efficiency reports be re-
garded as confidential: that first Neuten-
ants instead of inexperienced SECOND lieu
tenants be assigned to staff duty as quar-
termasters and commissaries. and that ma

The Value Of Bachelors.

From the indianapolis Star.
A young man in Illinois was killed
when a train struck his automobile,
and his relatives having sued for dam
ages were awarded the sum of 81. The
verdict has just been affirmed by the
appellate court. The decision, it APP
pears, was rendered on the ground that
the man was s. bachelor, with no one
dependent on him, and the natural as
sumption is, therefore, that the dollar
represented, in the judgment of the
jury, the value Of an unmarried man to
the community.
The estimate at first thought seems
unreasonably low, if it is TO be made
Of general application, and, naturally,
protests are being made against it,.
Women, curiously enough, are more
earnest in their objections than men,
when it might be supposed that they
would feel fattered over the infer
ence to be drawn from the decision
that a man is of practically no value
until he gains a definite increase In
moneys worth by the mere fact OF
having a wife. Possibly, however, the
feminine idea is that it is lowering to
womanly dignity to take a dollar man
for a husband, eve though his valua-
ton becomes thereby enhanced

old bachelor.
What q just rating IS for the young
bachelor is a matter open 10 discus

81, butYt is possible that the twelve
good men were married and heads OF
families and tEcrcfcre not without
prejudice. In Indiana the estimate has
been put as high as $4,000 in numerous

married men. Perhaps hereafter tho
