BACKED BY LIQUOR MEN.
Campaign of Education on Liquor
Question to Be Started.

Chicago, Jan PA campaign
of education" on the saloon question
is to be pushed throughout the
United States---not this time by the
w. c. T. U. or any law and order
league, but by liquor dealers and
their allies. The nature of the in
structions also will differ from that
familiar through the campaigns of
the temperance crusaders.
The movement was given impetus
last night at a meeting of the Manu-
facturers' and Dealers club of H.
linois. made up of business men con-
nected in some way with the liquor
trade.
The object of the campaign is to
create a sentiment against the local
option laws. IL is opposed to
"cranks. hypocrites and the fanatical
prohibition element" The move
ment is not wholly in the interest
of the manufacturers. Concern also
is felt for the welfare of the starv-
ing women and children of EN-.
ployes" thrown out of work because
of the activity of the prohibitionists.

MINER UNDER ARREST
he Attempted 10 Wipe Out The
Family Of Ris Business
Partner.

Seattle, Wash, Jan. 29.-Charged
with attempting by means Of dyna-
mite, Internal machines, fire, poison
and bullets to kill George M. Rob-
erts and family, John Hurst, miner
and business partner, was arersted
yesterday. The latest attempt on
Roberts life was made on Monday
and only the presence of two detec-
tives saved the Roberts family from
being blown up. That was the four-
teenth attempt upon the life of Rob-
and business partner, was arrested
for trying to blow up the Roberts
residence but was released. Previous
to that shots had been fired through
the windows of the Roberts home.
About six months ago an Internal mar
chine was placed near his gate and
on Christmas an unsuccessful attempt
was made to blow up the house.
Since Christmas the house has been
constantly watched by private de-
tectives. Last Monday night Hurst
was caught with four sticks of dyna-
mite on the front porch of the Rob.
erts home. He denies the charge

LITTLETON TALKING
Man Who is Defending Thaw is
Making Bis Plea 10 Jury
To-Day.

New York, Jan 29.-The demand for
seats at the Thaw trial to-day so far
exceeded the capacity of the court
chamber that the police had their
hands full in handling the disappoint-
ed crowds. For the first time since
the taking of testimony was begun,
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw had seat in the
court room Mrs William Thaw, the
mother, Mrs George l.. Carnegie, the
sister, and Josiah Thaw, a brother,
also were in the family group. The
bar against women was suspended and
there were many of them on hand
when Justice bowling took his place
III the bench. Attracted by Mr. Lit
tleton's reputation as on orator, prom
inent lawyers and men of affairs from
all parts of the county were included
in the court room throng.
Mr. Littleton arose at 1880 o'clock
and began his plea to the jury in be-
half of Harry Traw. District Attor-
ney Jerome, who remained away
from the courtroom throughout the
summing up of Mr. Delmas last year,
was absent when court convened tnis
morning. Assistant District Attorney
Garvan was present and took copious
notes of the address of the chief coun-
sci for the defense.
Mr. Littleton reviewed Thaw's his
tory from the time of the prenatal
incident, when his mother in the night
put out ner hands to feel the cold fea-
lures Of her child, who had suddenly
died, down TO the day of the tragedy.
He declared that the serious evidence
of the defense had been met with
sneers and insinuations by District At
torney jerome, when the law imposed
upon him the burden of proving the
defendant sane beyond all reasonable
doubt.
When recess was ordered he hal
not yet reached the period of Thaw's
meeting with Evelyn Nesbit and the
indications were that he would speak
throughout the entire afternoon. Mr.
Littleton's speech was more convinc-
ing than eloquent and was listened
to with the closest attention by the
jurors.

FOR HUMANE WORK
President Love Makes Recon-.
meDdatiOus- Another Agent
For Waterbury.

Hartford, Jan. 29.-The utilitarian
side of the inhumane treatment of
animals is one of the many interest
ing features of the report of Presi-
dent William De Loss Love made at
the annual meeting of the Connecti-
cut Humane society here to-day. In
this respect he says
THE difference in value of animals
in Connecticut under humane or in
humane treatment is enormous. 1t
has been estimated that the produc-
tive value of a horse is extended 5
years by proper use, food and care.
II his net earning power is only 25
cents day, and he works days a
week he earns SIS a year and in 5
years $500. On this basis the 50,-
667 horses of this state are worth
nearly 20 millions of dollars more
under humane treatment. By the
last census there were 10000 milk
producing COWS in this state averag-
ing 6 and u quarts a day. If as
claimed cows productive life is ex-
tended two years by proper treat
ment, the value of this milk at seven
cents a quart would amount to $318.-
SO for each animal, and the aggregate
for the cows in the state would be
more than forty millions of dollars. .
Among other things the president
recommends the appointment Of two
more general agents, one to be locat-
ed in Waterbury and the other iii
either Norwich or New London. The
income from $4,000 will be required
the report says to maintain an agent
in either Of these localities and in
consequence this appeal is made:
Twill not some benevolent friend
of the humane cause, living in those
districts provide now or in future
bequest the means for such an extern
sion of our work? Meanwhile we
shall serve them to the best of our
ability"

FOUND CANS OF OPIUM
SwuggIeTs Operating On Pacific
Coast Lost About 100 Pounds
Of The Drug.

San Francisco, Jan 29.-The GUS
toms officials Of this port have for
some time suspected the existence of
an organized ring of opium snug
glers operating on steamers running
between Victoria, B. c., and San
Francisco. Startling confirmation OF
this suspicion was obtained yester-
day when the customs searchers
found 220 five-tael tins of the con-
traband slowed away on top of the
donkey boiler Of the steamer City
of Pueblo, few hours after that
vessel reached port.
Opium can be bought in Victoria
for about $S pound. Duty paid,
it sells here for about S14 pound.
In the tins found yesterday there
were about 100 pounds of the drug.

THE LAST MAN SHAVED.
An Explanation by the Barber That
Did Not Quiet His Nerves.


There were FIVE of us hunting and
fishing in the Queensland bush when
one rainy day stranger appeared. He
said he was tramp barber, and as
none of us had been shaved for fort
night we gave him half a days work.
About four hours after he had left
us a band Of six men rode up, and the
leader inquired If we had seen tall,
roughly dressed man pass that way.
We told him of the barber, and he
looked from man to man and ex-
claimed: 49,
Good gracious. but you are all fresh
ly shaved"
"Yes. we gave the barber job"
"And he shaved each one Of you?"
"He did and did it WE'LL"
"Boys. do you hear that?" shouted
the man as he turned to his compan-
ions.
what of itT asked one Of our party.
"Why. he went insane yesterday and
cut a mans throat In his BARRIERS
chair over at Unadilla. and we're after
him to put him in an asylum"
They rode away at gallop and next
morning returned TO our camp with the
man. who had been captured after
hard fight and was tied on his horse.
He seemed to remember us when he
was given a drink of water, and as he
handed the cup back he quietly OBJ
served:
Il say, gentlemen, please excuse me.
I meant TO finish off the last man who
got shaved. but | got to thinking OF
something else, and it slipped my
mind."-Cape Times.

beacon Fires In China.

In China such beacon fires as spread
the alarm OF the Spanish armada
through England used to be the call
to war Many years ago. the story
goes. the emperor sat with beautiful
woman looking toward the beacon
hills. She would like to see those walt
ing piles lighted. and upon her insist
ence the thing was done. The greatest
excitement prevailed throughout the
provinces. and troops came hurrying
II from Rll sides. When the leaders
learned that no danger menaced. that
the fires were lighted to satisfy the
whim Of a woman. their wrath fed on
their lost confidence. and with the ac-
tual call TO arms the response was slow
and unenthusiastIc. II was a repetition
of the old story in Webster's spelling
book. Wolf had been cried too often.

GOT ABOUT $4,000
Robbers Got IntO the Adams Ex-
prees Office in Mansfield
Missed Bag OF Gold
A DARING ROBBERY

Mansfield, O., Jan. 29.-Shortly af-
ter midnight last night two masked
men entered the Office of the Adams
Express company at the Union sta
tion here, knocked down William De-
pew the agent, rendering him uncon-
scious, and got away with $4,000,
while nearly so passengers stood
about the station waiting for trains.
A bag containing 100000 in gold ly-
ing near the $4,000 was overlooked
by the robbers. ~..-
The men on entering the office ask
ed Depew for package they said
must have arrived on train too late
for delivery. While Depew was
looking for the supposed package one
of the robbers struck him on the
head and knocked him unconscious
with a three inch cash in his head.
The other robber covered George Nc
Ginty, friend of Depew, with a re-
volver and the first robber then went
through the safe. Then keeping Nc
Ginty covered, the men ran from the
express once and disappeared.
kilograms were promptly sent to
the police of all nearby towns, and
as a result John McCue, and Joseph
Stevens were taken into custody at
New London. They had the sack
taken from the express Office contain
ing $4,000. Stevens, the police say,
confessed and implicated McGinty.
According to Stevens story the mon
ey arrived late last night from Delpos
Ohio, and was consigned to bank at
Hamilton, o. Stevens said McGinty,
it is said, gave warning of the arrival
of the money and concocted the
scheme with him and McCue to rob
the office. AS soon as this information
was wired here McGinty was locked
up. He denies the charge.

CHATFIELD CASE
The Board Of Safety Has Put
The Hearing Back For An
other Week
THE DUNPHY ACCIDENT

The board Of public safety held a
meeting at o'clock this afternoon
for the purpose of hearing the
charges preferred by the board and
some citizens against A. |. Chatfield,
the building inspector, accusing him
of incompetency in the performance
of his duty, neglect and violating the
building ordinances.
Mayor Thoms presided and all the
members Were present except Com
missioners Griffin and Phillips. At
torney Bronson, counsel for MI
Chattield, and Attorney Guilfoile, on
whom Mayor 'lnoms conferred the
honor of representing the city in the
matter, were present. Both attor-
neys agreed that for the conven-
ience of all concerned it would be
better to postpone the hearing. Fur
thermore, Mr. Bronson said the tower
room in the Leavenworth street en-
gine house was not exactly the place
for such a hearing. Either of the
court rooms in the court house build
ing can be had for the purpose. He
calculated nc will have lot of wit
nesses to testify to Mr. Chatfield' S
competency. He did not, however,
propose to flood the meeting with
witnesses, but if it occurs to him
that witnesses will be needed he
will bring them on till the north pole
goes afire. How long that would be
he could not say. He also thought
he would have TO ask for a copy of
the notes of the evidence for his
client is not a person of great means.
This would be big item of expense
If allowed and the board thought il
better to let it go for the present
and see how the hearing will go
along.
AS to how long the hearing will
take, neither attorney could say or
give any idea of. Mr. Bronson said
it is serious matter to charge a
city official with incompetency, and
this hearing will establish a prece-
dent, therefore it may take more
time than he expects now. While
he does not intend to devote the rest
of his natural life to the hearing,
and neither does does he propose to
leave any stone unturned that may
be of benefit to his client, he said,
it would be foolish to go beyond the
limits of reason. He allowed that
all this was neither one way nor
the other. He intends calling in all
the contractors and architects posi-
BILE to show Mr. Chatfield is a COM
petent man, aud how long they may
take to give their testimony he could
not say. 1t WAS finally determined
to adjourn the hearing to next Wed
nesday afternoon at o'clock in the
district. court room.
Police Officer William Cassin was
before the board to give his version
of how the accident befell Officer
John Dunphy II the rear of Adam
Dauch's store on Bishop street on
the night of November Z last. OFF,
Ger Cassin stated that he remem-
bered Officer Dunphy telling him of
the fall on Dauch's step. Dunphy
told of 1t in = passing way and
neither officer paid much, attention
to it; in fact, Cassin could not tell
when il had occurred, but to the
best of his belief ii was a few nights
at most before Drnphy was stricken
on the street. The board took no
action owing to the absence of Com
missioners Griffin and Phillips.
