IN MANAGEMENT
OF HAHNE 8 co.
But Big Newark Store Has Been

pate larger results in the future. ow-
ing to the combining of such large in

sAll OF the stock which was placed
on the market so to speal., yesterday
afternoon, was practically absorbed
last night. and l do not think that a
single share of it will be purchasable

man has obtained any of the stock.

said. have authority to issue the re-

directors think it advisable.
The profit-shsring plan is considered
one of the most interesting features of
the new organization. While no an

likely that the profit-sharing scheme
win be operated under conditions SINH
lar to those followed in the United
States Steel Corporation.

LAFOLLETTE DENOUNCED.
Penrose Declares He Is Tired OF
Wisconsan's Claptrap.

Washington.-The ~postoffice bill, car
rying appropriations Of over 1882 ,o0o,-
900, was passed by the senate Thurs
day, after a very stormy debate, during
which Senator Penrose, in charge of
the measure, made al angry assault
upon Senator LaFollette, who had en-
tered into a general criticism of the
senate committees because of what he
termed their unwarranted delay in re-
porting great appropriation bills.
Mr.. LaFollette had at length chided
the senate with permitting a glut of i'm
portant legislation to be disposed of in
haste during the last days of congress.
Responding in angry tones, Mr.. PEN
rose charged the senator from Wiscon-
sin with having failed to attend meet
ings of committees of which he was a
member, finally declaring that his criti-
cism sounded more like the arguments
"made by a vendor of a patent medicine
from the tail door of a cart in the vii
lagos of Wisconsin" than those of a
senator oil the United States.

WOULD CONDEMN GOVERNOR
Anti-Saloon League Has Bitter
Wraugle.

Louisville, ky.-A spirited wrangle
was precipitated in the Anti-Saloon
League convention at the Coliseum
Thursday afternoon, when a resolution
was submitted to send to the legislature
of Tennessee congratulations on the ac-
ton in passing a Statewide prohibition
law. 1t was also proposed to send a
message of censure to Gov. Patterson
for his refusal to approve the action of
the legislature.
State Superintendent West and Presi-
dent Beauchamp led a victorious fight
against the measure. No little feeling
was aroused, but the wave of trouble
soon rolled into a condition of placidity.
The committee on legislation record
mends that the governor and mayor
be clothed with power to remove from
office the chief of police or other Of
fetal not enforcing the law.
A law making possession of a United
States tax receipt prima facie evidence
of guilt is also recommended. The rec
concentrations of the committee were
heartily concurred in.

CHIEF GERONIMO DEAD AT rs
Noted Apache Had Been a Prisoner
for Many Years.

Lawton. Okla.-Geronimo, the Apache
chief, died of pneumonia today at Fort
Sill, where he had been a United States
prisoner for twenty-one years. He was
rs years of age.
Chief Geronimo is survived by his
eighth wife, whom he married only two
years ago.
When near to death some time ago,
Geronimo said:
81 am praying to the white mans
God, who has made me a man fit for
heaven, to spare my life for a few years
longer-to spare it until | am freed from
custody and see my people in free
homes"
A quarter of a century ago the mere
mention of Geronimo's name was suf-
fcient to strike terror into the ranch
ers and settlers of the Southwest. This
~half-breed Mexican, who was captured
with the Apaches during n of their
raids and was adopted by them, learned
to fight when he was 16 years old and
later proved the c~ruelest and most blood
thirsty chief of the tribe.

STATE RESTS ITS CASE
DEFENSE WILL PRESENT ITS
SIDE IN COOPER TRIAL.
Pistol Holster Found in Pocket OF
Dead Senator's Overcoat-Who
Placed It There.

Nashville, Tenn.-Absence OF some
State witnesses and a desire on the part
of the defense to arrange its plan OF
procedure caused an adjournment until
Saturday in the Cooper-Sharp trial for
the murder of former Senator E. w.
Carmack. The State first announced
that it rested its case in chief. When
the defense asked until Saturday to pre-
pare, and the continuance was granted,
Acknowledgement McCarn announced
that some missing witnesses would be
here by that time, and that he would
offer their testimony.
The State has satisfied itself with of
fering testimony to prove that Senator
Carmack was slain by Robin j. and Dun
can b. Cooper, that John Sharp, when
he heard the shots, knew what they
were without looking around, and that
prior to the killing several conferences
had been held. This, the State contends,
LAYS the foundation for proof of con-
spiraey.
The State stops here ard waits for
the defense to offer its case. Attorney
General MeCarn has ~subpoenaed sixty
four witnesses, and has used scarcely a
score The others will be held in reserve
for rebuttal. The defense has not is
sued a summons, but says its witnesses
will be present without court process.
By not issuing subpoenas it prevents the
State from knowing its witnesses
names.
The only incident of Thursdays tes-
timony was the States attempt to prove
by implication that the pistol holster
found in the dead senator's overcoat
pocket was put there by one OF the at
torneys for the defense, when, a few
weeks ago he went to the morgue and
tried on the o%vercoat. Two witnesses
testified it was not in the pocket when
the senator was killed. 1t was found
in the pocket by Gen. Washington OF
counsel for the defense, when he tried
on the o%vercoat.

BALM FOR THE LOWLY.
Room Enough in Any Conditions to
Work Out Divine Ideals.

Jesus found childhood in a peasant
home a large enough place for the
living out of his divine life. If people
understood life's real meaning they
would find room enough in the lowliest
conditions to work out divinest ideals.
Robert Browning represents Gabriel
taking the place of a poor boy and
working for him at his trade, as con-
tentedly as if engaged in the highest
service. But here is something sub
Inner than yer the poets fancy
Should any t~rue-hearted child, how
ever great his gifts, consider his place
in the lowliest home too small, since
the Son of God found room in a peas
ant home for the development of his
glorious humanity? Canon Farrar
says: "A life spent in brushing
clothes, washing crockery and sweep
ing rooms-a life which the proud of
the earth would have treated as the
dust under their feet-a life spent at
the clerks desk, a life spent in the
narrow shop, a life spent in the labor
er's hut, may yet be a life so ennobled
by Gods loving mercy that for the
sake of it a king might gladly yield
his CROWN. r. Miller, d. d.

ROOSEVELT is REBUKED
For Permitting Trust to Absorb
Tennessee Coal and Iron.

Washincton.-The senate s~ubcommit-
tee of the Judiciary committee, which
has had in consideration the Culberson
resolution asking why's and wherefores
of Mr.. Roosevelt's consent granted the
street trust to gobble up the Tennessee
Coal and Iron Company, has signed and
filed it's report.
It's effect is to condemn Mr.. Roose-
welt and find him guilty of a usurpa-
ton of authority in what premises he
ordered Attorney-General Bonaparte to
do.
The presidential excuse was that it
was necessary to permit the steel trust
to take over the Tennessee Coal and
Iron Company to prevent the country
from being swept by a panic. The com
mittee denies the legal right of the
president to anticipate panics; and init
mates, if it does not say it, that Mr..
Roosevelt was elected the president, not
the prophet of the country. To inter
fere in the matter, one way or the other,
was to step outside of a presidents
duty as outside of his right.
