Abe Ruef must be a liar. After
he confessed his guilt, the appellate
court said he was Atlanta
Journal.
Which reminds us OF the verdict
of a Mercer county jury some years
ago At an election held at Athens.
prominent citizen was accused OF
violating the law against being
drunk on election day. He wac In
dicted and tried at Princeton and
acquitted because the witnesses
could not define drunkenness or the
degree OF intoxication of the defend
ant. Allen Brown, a we'll known
wit, was foreman of the jury and
the verdict OF the jury as presented
by him read: I'VE, the Jury, find
the defendant not drunk" Tho court
ordered the verdict put in proper

charged. On leaving the court room
he was heard to remark: Twelve

CREDITORS MEET


st. Louis, Jan. 28.-Creditors OF
John Mulholland, the spectacular
financier of the Middle West, held
their first meeting today Do discuss
plans for settlement OF the affairs
OF the bankrupt broker. In his vol
untary petition in bankruptcy, Null
holland gave his assets Is S3,OI9,-
56S.9S, and his liabilities as $1,804,-
S6S.
One thousand or more creditors,
scattered in eight states, are at
fected. In his list OF assets Mulho;-
land scheduled everything, from rail-
roads to private libraries and per-
sonal belongings. The creditors
meeting was held in East st. Louis.
Mulholland began his career of
high finance a few. years, with a
working capital of scarcely nothing.
His first brokerage office was estab-
hshed In this city, and later branches
were operated in New York, Chi
cago. Cincinnati, Cleveland, Detroit.
Buffalo and Kansas City. In each OF
these cities he opened elaborate of.

or the Santo Domingo treaty, which
stirred the senate two years ago.
lhen. as now. the president had en-
tered into an agreement with for

eminent was to undertake various
tasks which were far from usual In
our national policies. The senate
knew nothing about 1t until Il rea

there followed much discussion OF

OF that episode is familiar to news.

1T would seem that the rumpus
he stirred up at that time would
have taught any president, even Mr.
Roosevelt, something-tact, for in.

perial impulse, almost any other
man would have been restrained by

good faith. He would have courted
the senate and the peoples trust In
his purpose to stand by the Consti-
tuition and to tote fair.
Mr.. Roosevelt has prated much
about crimes Of cunning BY this
phrase he refers to the flnesse by
which attorneys and their million
aire clients evade the Constitution
statutes in such a crafty way that
they cannot be caught, and yet they
commit moral wrongs. Here we
nave an instance of the man in a
glass house. There is no man in all
the land more conspicuous than Mr.,
Roosevelt as an employer of cunning
IN getting around the Constitution
and the acts OF the national legisla-
lature. He champions amendment
Of the Constitution by judicial con.
struction;' he makes treaties with
foreign powers and calls them
agreements he invents a CON
structive recess to force an. appoint
ment down the senate's throat: he
issues an executive order to add to

isiation. If these are not offenses OF
cunning it would be difficult to clas-
sify them"

pointed out that the German kaiser

HIGH FINANCING.

Secretary Cortelyou is loath to re
port his recent financial stunts. Sen
ator Tillman and a few others have
been prodding him for a report o
certain methods in high finance. no
tably the issuance of bonds in time
OF peace. and with large surplus in
the treasury and the failure to sell to
not among the lowest Of those who
purchased. It's not a smooth path
the secretary has before him. 4
number OF why's and wherefor +
are awaiting him. A few people
would like to know why the Govern
ment's money was placed at the dis
posal of New York stock gamblers
instead of giving the South and tn
West their equitable share. which
could have been used TO great adj
vantage in moving the crops. Soon
after the panic was precipitatel
j. Pierpont Morgan was summoned
to Washington, where he held an in
terview with the president and his
secretary Of the treasury, and then
1t was announced that the treasury
department would issue bonds.
which the banks could buy. and is
sue currency against them, while
the Government paid three per cent.
interest upon the face value.
II appears that the ambitious sec
rotary of the treasury regards as
very impudent these marrying ques-
lions from the senate, but it was all
wen and good to take orders from
Wall street.

MINERS REFUSE

CLINES TO RECOGNIZE JOHN
MITCHELL'S ENEMY, WHO
WAS EXPELLED FROM THE
ORGANIZATION TWO YEARS
AGO.

indianapolis. Jan. 27.-Delegates
to the convention OF the United Mine
Workers OF America by unanimous
vote refused to seat Patrick Dolan,
OF Reising. Pa. former president OF
the miners of the Pittsburg district.
The report OF the Credentials COM
mittee made no recommendation and
the whole matter was laid on the
table without dissenting vote. Pres
ident Mitchell called for the report
OF the Resolutions committee.
1t was announced later by Presi-
dent Mccullough. Of the Michigan
miners, that the Dolan case will be
taken up on the floor Of the conven-
ton.
Dolan was expelled from the or
ganization two years ago by the con-
vention OF the Pittsburg district, but
1T Is argued he now holds credentials
from the Reising, Pa, union and he
should be given a trial on the floor
or the convention. 1t was expected
that the matter would come before
the convention at another session.
A resolution offered by President
Mitchell In favor of woman suffrage
was adopted.
The convention invited Secretary
Treasurer Haywood, OF the Western
Federation Of Miners. to address 1t
today.
