Crime and the Telephone.

From the beginning to the end of a
transaction in crime the telephone
comes into use, serving both sides
with equal fidelity. says writer in
Appletons Magazine. The thief uses
it to determine which house he may
safely rob- The man next door sees
the burglar and calls up the police.
The police arrive, catch the burglar
and telephone for the Black Maria to
take him to jail. The thief telephones
a lawyer TO defend him. The lawyer
telephones for the bondsman to bail
out his client. and the banker tele-
phones the sheriff that the bondsman's
check is good When the day of trial
comes the clerk Of the court, being a
kind gentleman. telephones to the
burglars lawyer; the sheriff telephones
witnesses to be present. When the
burglar is convicted and sentenced the
sheriff uses long distance to tell the
warden of the penitentiary when his
prisoner will be delivered. After that
the telephone line is kept hot by in
fluential politicians petitioning the gov
ernor for pardon.

fourishing ages of the witchcragt de-

by the whole human race until the lat

political map of Wisconsin and add1-
tional factional divisions are likely to
follow, as Stone made a complete con-
fession that his former testimony had
been false in nearly every important
particular The principal features OF
his testimony follow:
Stone offered a new list OF game
wardens and other persons to whom
he paid Stephenson money, together
with amounts-differin radically with
the one first offered.
Explained he credited $500 instead
of 1850 to Deputy Bowman because
he wanted to protect him.
In a further effort to protect Bow
man he entered into an agreement with
three wardens who had not received
any money, that they should admit re-
ceiving a total of $500-an agreement
they did not keep. Hence his change
in testimony.
Governor Davidson's Fund.
This agreement was made at his
residence on the evening following the
day he had refused to testify as to the
disposition of money received by him
from Stephenson, and present at this
meeting, besides the three deputies

deputies Bowman and futile and AS

the latter being merely witness to
the conversation in which he took no
part.
He testified further that deputy war
dens collected with Stones consent
81 200 for Governor Davidson's fund,
which Stone reluctantly said he had
consented to handle. This money,
Stone said, he gave to the governor in
three payments-two of $500 and one
of $500. When he made the first pay
ment the governor asked him what
was in the envelope. Stone replied:
ASK me no questions and I'll tell you
no lies" The governor ''obeyed In
structions,'' said Stone.
Stone said he had accounted for all
but about $420, (which he had kept
himself and which was subject to the
order of Stephenson or his managers. ;"
He hand not been asked to give it up,
he said.

County Option Defeated.
The end of the county option agita-
ton came with swift and sudden force
in the senate Wednesday following an
all day debate on the question. That
it should be beaten in the upper house
and so decisively was quite surprise
to the friends of the Marsh bill who
confidently expected it would pass the
senate and find it's hardest shedding in
the assembly.
The defeat in its own house has put
a quick quietus on the question at this
session. However Senator Marsh. the
author of the bill. says the end is not

STEEL PRICES TO FALL.
Also the Wages of the Employees of
the Trust.

New York. Feb. 19-Conferences be-
tween the heads of the subsidiary
companies of the United States Steel
corporation We're held today to discuss
conditions in the trade. While no Off
cial statement had been given out it
was current report that sweeping re-
ductions in prices of steel except steel
rails had been decided upon by the
corporation, to be accompanied by a
corresponding lowering of wages and
that to meet this situation the various
Independent steel companies We're or
ganizing for self-protection.-
It was stated unofficially that the
United States Steel corporation has de-
termined to abandon its hitherto firm
attitude in the maintenance of prices
of finished steel other than rails and
that the market will hereafter be an
open one. Steel common was sold at
the opening of the stock market today
half to three-fourths below the clos
ing of last night. Under heavy sales
the stock declined to 1885 and shortly
before IL o'clock recovered to 49. Later
it was reported that the price of steel
tubes has been cut from $40 to $12 per
ton lower than the closing price of
yesterday.
