HAMS IS WEAKENING.
VisibIy Affected by Testimony of Mrs.
w. f. Annis.

Flushing. N. Y. Dec. 28.--The prin-
cfpal points of the case against THORN
ton ]. Hams have been developed and
the prosecution is now bringing out
testimony by which it hopes to cor
roborate the evidence given by the
states chief witnesses, that the de-
PENDANT was principal with his
brother. Captain Peter c. Hams, Jr.,
in the killing of william E. Annis. Dis
trict Attorney Darrin says that another
week will be required to complete the
case against Thornton Hams.
Since the testimony of Mrs. Helene
E. Annis, a change has come over the
defendant. Bright and CHEEKY in the
early days of the trial, his tense face
today showed evident worry over the
character of the testimony. His de-
bonaire manner is now missing and
he talked earnestly with his counsel
during the progress of the trial.
1--WE have not shown our defense
yet" said Mr.. Mcintyre, chief counsel
for Hams, today, land will not until
the states case has ended. Material
points in our case have been developed
from the examination of all the states
witnesses who testified that they were
on that float. A surprise is coming in
the trial when the defense comes to be
heard"
The long daily sessions of the court
have proved exhausting to counsel and
Justice Crane has practically given up
the plan of holding night sessions.

INAUGURAL RECEPTION.
Expected That There VIII Be 5000
People Present.

The committee in charge of the in
auguration ceremonies to take place
January IL, met with the state house
officials today to decide on definite
plans for the reception at the state
house that night. 1t has not yet been
decided whether or not to hold the
reception in the governors Office or
in the state house rotunda. The dis
cussion at the committee meeting to-
day was to the effect that there would
be at least 5000 people present next
month as against 500 at the last re-
ception of this kind. The estimates
were based upon the fact that there
were 1000 applicants for guberna-
toriaI appointments, 1000 for legisla-
tive appointments, $500 politicians of
local influence to urge these appoint
ments and 500 persons composed of
the general and disinterested public.
The anti-pass law may, however, cut
down the attendance.

TWO HELD FOR TRIAL.
Preliminary Hearing in the Pittsburg
Graft Cases.

Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. 23.-When the
seven councilmen and two former
bankers, arrested here Monday night
as a result of alleged corruption in
the city's legislative circles were ar
raigned today before Police Magistrate
F. ]. Brady for a preliminary hearing
a great crowd of big and little poltti-
clans was gathered in the vicinity of
the central police station.
Owing to the size of the court room,
but few of the politicians were al
lowed to enter, as almost every inch
of available space was taken up by the
defendants, their attorneys and friends,
and a large force of newspaper men.
An air of anxiety was prevalent
From all apparent indications 1t was
the intention of the authorities to
probe deep into the alleged irregulari-
ties for the express purpose of getting
sufficient evidence warranting the ar
rest of other persons. A reiteration
of the intimations made yesterday that
the arrests to follow would cause one
of the greatest sensations in the his
tory of municipal graft in Pittsburg
served to make the scandal the one
matter occupying public attention.
The first case taken up was that of
w. ". Ramsey and A A Vilsack, for
mer president and cashier of the Ger
man National bank. National Bank
Examiner Nesbit was called to testify
and his testimony alleged that Captain
John Klein, a councilman, had ap-
preached the bankers about making
the bank a city depositary and that
$17,5G0 later had disappeared from
the bank in a sensational and interest
ing manner.
Both defendants were held for court
trial on charges of alleged conspiracy
and bribery. Their bond of $4,000
was renewed.
During the hearing this afternoon
it was testified that sixty councilmen
were paid $4,000 in connection with
the construction of the filtration n1a0t

HODGINS SUES FOR FEES.
He VIII Test Law in a Friendly
Suit.

Suit was filed in district court last
evening by S. J. Hodgins, register of
deeds, against the board of county
commissioners. This is a friendly suit
for the purpose of getting a decision of
the court upon a question of division.
The register of deeds is allowed $1,000
per year for clerk hire, and the ques-
ton which arises is, whether he should
take out the clerk hire before dividing
the fees collected for the year, or after
ward. Under the present system, says
Mr.. Hodgins he pays half of this clerk
hire out of his own share of the fees
collected, instead of taking it out OF
the county's share.
The fees collected for the year 1907 in
the registers office amounted to ST.

DAWSON THE SPHINX.
Genial Welshman Refuses to Talk
About Himself or Stubbs.

Many men in many ages have posed
as the Sphinx, but it remains for John
Dawson, present first assistant attor-
ney general and private secretary to
Governor-eIect Stubs, to out-Herod
Herod in this sphinx matter. A clam
is as noisy as a brass band, an
oyster is as communicative as the vii
lage gossip compared to this same
John Dawson about affairs of state
When asked when he was going to
leave his present place in the attor-
ney generals office, he did not know.
When asked about the appointment
of Chas. Gibbs as executive clerk as
predicted by Bent Murdoch, he
"guessed that Murdoch was guessing,
When asked about any plan he had
for the future, he did not know
When asked about Stubbs' plan and
appointments, he would not even
trust himself to speech but shook his
head. He did not even know his own
age or the number of the shoes he
was wearing or what day of the
month it was. He would not even
hazard a guess about the weather or
predict the outcome of the prison

BARRETT IS CONVICTED.
Held Guilty of Selling Liquor in Rich

attendance today. Four witnesses tes-

DISPUTE FIGURES.
State Presents Its Side of the Missouri
Rate Case.

Kansas City. Mo-, Dec. 23.-The direct
examination of the states first witness in
the Missouri rate case continued this
morning when A. P. Taliaferro, an expert
accountant. resumed the stand A long
array of facts and figures, equalled only

gers on local trains was S75 cents a mile

AIbright Paying Dividend.

Captain Albright, the state bank ex-
an1iner, today began paying the third
dividend in the case of the failed Citi-
zens and Farmers bank of Arkansas
CITY. This dividend, like the two pre-
vious ones, is for % per cent, making
a total payment to depositors of IS
ner cent since the failure of the bank
November 10 of this year. 1t is hoped
that the final payment of 25 per cent
will be made next month. No receiver

and it is expected that it will not be
necessary to appoint one. The assist
ant bank examiner is still in charge.
