HELD 10 GRAND JURY
 FOR SHOOTING DUYALl
A Different Story Brought Out at the
 Hearing of Charles Dixon.

The preliminary hearing of Charles Dixon. charged with shooting George Duvall in a quarrel at Five Points a few days ago. took place before Justice Johnson yesterday and Dixon was held 10 the grand jury in the sum of $500. The evidence brought out was of a much more damagiNg character than expected. From all that could be learned of the shooting at the time and within a short time afterward it ap- peared that Dixon could make a strong showing of self defense. It was un- derstood that Duvall was drunk and aggressive and that at the time the shot was fired he was approaching Dixon with knife.
 The testimony yesterday cid not support that understanding of the case. One of the witnesses for the defense. Lester Hanlin, said that shortly be- fore the shooting when Dixon made d display of his gun, Duvall told him that he did not want to go against that. Another witness Walter George, who saw the shooting, said that Duvall had no knife and that he was not making a threatening demon StTdllOH. lHtfe ldu betH ooiic piS- vious trouble in a saloon between Dix on and drunken man and it appear ed that Duvall had said something in extenuation of the conduct of the lat ter and had thereby angered Dixon.

DEMOCRATIC TEXT BOOK.

John Sayles in the Buffalo IN. W
Times:
The Democratic campaign text book
is out
1t is a classic-worthy of our splen.
did leaders and righteous cause.
Looking at it from an external point
of view the book is as handy as one
could wish 1t is just the right size
to carry in the pocket
The text is clear, good print. Its
type emphasizes the vital points and
the general reading matter is easy for
the eyes.
The arrangement Of the material Is
work Of skill. The subjects are log
ically placed and each topic receives
adequate treatment
The issues of this campaign belong
peculiarly to the year 1905 To be
up to date the campaign speaker must
know this book by heart
Publicity Of campaign funds is a
topic the people are interested in. and
this little red handbook has the SUBJ
ject in nutshell The guarantee OF
bank deposits is subject very much
alive. The compilers of the text book
anticipated this fact and made ample
provision for it. The election of United
States senators by the people &C.
cords with the popular desire for q
larger rule by the people. The book
Is eloquent on the subject
The trusts come in for their proper
consideration The trusts have the
people by the throat, and what with
high prices and thousands Of people
out of work they will get roundly
scored before election, and If Bryan
is inaugurated next March certain
criminals will ornament prison cells.
The book tells its own story on the
subject in graphic fashion.
Tariff robbery receives clear expo
sition in the book. All the buncombe
about the benefits accruing from a
system Of taxation which makes the
rich richer and the poor poorer re-
ceives the drubbing it deserves.
Republican extravaganza in spend
ing the peoples money to support an
army Of a hundred thousand extra Of
ficeholders appointed by the Roosevelt
administrations is held before the read
ers until he feels the wickedness of
wholesale Republican robbery as never
before.
In fine, the Democratic campaign
text book is as full Of facts as an egg
| Is of meat.
Every Democrat should own a copy.
This is to be campaign Of issues, not
personalities. The presidential can.
vass, therefore. will be chiefly dis
| cussion of public measures.

CONCERNING UNCLE JOE"

Last week one of the ablest and
best liked Republican members of
congress, j. Adam Bede, of the Eighth
Minnesota district, was defeated for
denomination by members OF his own
party because he declared himself un-
tiinchingly in favor of the reelection
as speaker of Joe Cannon. This seems
to be a fair indication of Republican
sentiment concerning the car Of the
lower house Of congress. Golfers
Weekly, which so far as it has any
policy, is certainly friendly to the Re
publican party, denounces Cannon un
reservedly, and last week printed u
communication In which it was said
that If Taft and Sherman were elected
the long arm Of the speaker would
reach from the house end Of the capt
tol to the senate and make the puppet
Sherman do the bidding Of the auto
crat in the speakers chair.
President Roosevelt, in 1891, said of
Cannon: I'VE cannot escape from the
fact that 1t was no credit to the Re
publican part OF the house that Mr..
Cannon of ii nos should be one of
| its leaders," Cannon then was tenn
porarily out Of office. the only time
| he has Leen out of Office in thirty
| five years. Among all the prominent
| Republicans there is none upon w.om
the country looks with SO much hest
fancy and doubt. His face is always
set against any measure for the good
of the people, his power is invariably
exerted fer those measures that are
demanded by the great interests
Whether as result Of this attitude
or not, the fact remains that afte-
thirty five years of otficeholding. with
| only "a moderate salary most of the
| time, Uncle Joe" has grown rich, his
wealth increasing as his power in
| creased He is emphatically an issue
| In this campaign-nOt merely an issue
| between the Democratic and Repub-
lican parties, but between the decent
| and patriotic element and the corrupt
| element which he has SO long donIi
mated.

$7o,ooo,ooo WAS GRATED
Representative Lloyd Shows How the
Congress Gave Railroads That
Sum Improperly.

Representative James Z. LLOYD, of
Missouri, chairman of the Democratic
national congressional committee, on
March 10, 1908, exposed the fragrant
theft of the peoples money through
the unfair weighing of mails when Of
fetal tests We're made to determine
what compensation the railroads
should receive. He said:
MIR Chairman. in delivering my adj
dress few days since on postal con-
ditions, in discussing the interpreta-
ton Of tile law as to the weighing Of
the mail, failed to stare the law on
the subject, and wish to do so now:
1.-The average weight to be ascer-
tanned, in every case, by the actual
weighing Of the mails for such Il num-
Der of successive working days, not
less than thirty, at such times after
June 80, 1873, and not less frequently
than once in every four years
Later the time was changed to
ninety days. Otherwise the law has
not been changed to this date.
Until March 3 1897. the depart
ment required the NAL to be weighed
for ninety days. Sunday was not con
sldersd, so that the weighing covered
a period of one hundred and five days
instead of ninety successive days. In
| other words. working days were con
strued to mean week days. Postnas-
| ter General Cortelyou changed til in
| depreciation which had been accepted
| as correct for over thirty years AMI
issued the following order as his con
| structiOn of the law:
"'That when the weight of mail is
taken on railroad routes, the whole
number of days the mails are weighed
shall be used as divisor for obtain
ing the average weight per day.
| This required in effect, that. in
stead Of dividing the number of work

period. the devisor should be the mum

ly carried during the period. If il

weight was one hundred and five II
the mail was not carried on Sunday
the divisor would be ninety. This. a.
you can readily see, would give less
compensation for carrying the full
week than for six days, for the &C
cumulated mail would he rracticall,
the same whether carried in six day.
or in seven.
'The present postmaster general
seeing this predicament issued anothe
order Of construction, known as 'ordel
4l2,' which is as follows:
"'That when the weight Of mail il
taken on railroad routes tie whole
number Of days included in the weigh
ing period shall be used as divisol
for obtaining the average weight pei
day.
IF the construction up to last yea
was right then there has heen with

GAME AT PHILADELPHIA.

show Philadelphians, and for that mat
ter the world at large, what can be
accomplished in the way of speed in
matrimonial affairs. MacGregor is
rich real estate dealer whose home
Is on East Chase street. Miss Snack
lives on East Preston street. They
had never seen or heard of each other
until she met him in the railroad sta
ton at p. m. Don't forget the
time.
Miss Snack had been spending her
vacation in Atlantic City. She was
returning home via Philadelphia. AS
she stood in the waiting room of the
Broad street station she dropped her
purse. A few feet away stood Mac
Gregor on his way to Atlantic City to
begin spending his vacation.
He noticed the fallen purse and
sprang forward and picked it up.
His eyes met the girls for a mo.
ment. Both blushed. MacGregor
found himself strangely unable to go
away. A conversation was begun with
the Thank you" of the girl
When they discovered that their
homes were in the same city the way
was easy. Each was very much inter-
ested In the other. At 4:10 the CONVEX.
sation turned to discussion of mar
riage. At 414 it had taken ON such an
aspect that MacGregor was able
to propose without changing the
subject. One minute later he had been
accepted.
The difficulty then was to arrange
the marriage. AS MacGregor pom
dered the difficulty he was aroused by
a heavy slap on the back. When he
looked around he almost shouted with
Joy. Before him. hand outstretched
and smiling. was Rev. David T. Nicely,
pastor Of the Asquith street Pres
bytsrian church In Baltimore, his
own church. Now, what do you think
Of that?
| When the circumstances were ex-
planned the minister agreed to perform
the ceremony 1t was after hours for
the license bureau, so Clerk Goebel of
the marriage license bureau was
reached on the phone. Goebel said
that he had blanks at his house, so
the trio jumped into taxicab, mo-
tored to the clerks house and obtained
the license.
John j. Robinson an intimate friend
of MacGregor. was the next to receive
a phone call. He gave assent to a
proposition that the ceremony be per
formed in his house. Again the taxi.
cab was called into requisition and the
party, this time with Goebel along as q
witness, went to Robinson's residence
No. II Saunders avenue.
There were no further obstacles, and
the ceremony was performed. AS the
minister spoke the first words of the
service the time stood at exactly 5:35
At the conclusion Of the ceremony the
bride and groom left for Atlantic City
to spend their honeymoon.

MacGregor, the night before he left the

WHERE DID YOU GET ITr
"Uncle Joe" Invites Demand That
He Show Where He Got

Speaker Cannon intimated that Mr..

speaker was speaking in his home

Speaker Cannon "snitch on himself:''
that is, that Mr.. Cannon also IF IS

true that Mr.. Cannon and his brother

amassed much.sSpore than $1,o0O.OOO.
Certainly, his e.it in the financial
world rests on the general BELIEF that
approximately that sum represents his

that the speaker will give details as
to how he got it. If it be untrue, then
let him tell exactly how much he is
