To Break Hat Strike.

NEW YORK, Feb. 9-Under the
terms of a resolution adopted at re-
cent meeting of the National Hat
Manufacturers association, an attempt
to break the strike by opening facto-
ries on the "open shop" plan was COM
menced today. Strikers who may want
to get back will be re-employed; If
not, the manufacturers will start work
with all men who apply. The manu-
facturers do not expect any secessions
from the ranks of the strikers at once.
They simply hope that when the strik-
ers see the plants running they will
eventually break ranks.

Attorney for Hams Says the
"Woman in Case" Is Sc
cretIy Attending Trial.
DEFENSE SCORES A POINT
GUN SALESMAN TESTlFtES THAT
HE DID NOT SELL WEAPON ON
THE DAY OF MURDER OF AN
MS, HAMS VICTIM.

Flushing, L. l., Jan. 9.-John F. Nc
Intyre, senior counsel for the defense
in the ! trial of T. Jenkins Hams,
charged with the murder of VIM. E.
Annis, made the surprising declaration
today that he believed Mrs Claudio
L.. Hams was attending the hearing
in disguise.
Il believe Mrs. Hams was in the
court room yesterday afternoon" said
Mcintyre to the Hearst News Service.
During. the examination of DIR. L.
Samuel Manson, woman clothed in
black and heavily veiled entered the
courtroom. She took a seat in the
rear, near one of the doors. The mo.
ment l noticed her felt certain that
she was Mrs. Hams
An important point was scored for
the defense when George R. Schneider
salesman in a gun dealing estab.
lishment in Brooklyn, testified that
he had sold the automatic revolver
with which Annis was killed, to Capt
Hains in November 1906. This dis
posed effectually of the contention OF
the state that the gun was bought on
the day Annis was killed.

LIVER.

Chicago, Jan. 9.-Fred Richardson,
president of the J. Richardson Shoe
company, Elmira, N. Y, one of the
largest shoe manufacturers in the
country, was arrested in Chicago to-
day charged with the grand larceny of
$25O,OOO. Search had been made for
him since he left Elmira a week ago,
after directors meeting.
The manufacturer was taken to the
Harrison street police station and
locked up while requisition papers
were being prepared. .--...
He declared he would not resist the
charges against him. He is declared
to have spent fortune in high living
in Elmira. in New York city and else
where. He owns many automobiles,
has one of the handsomest homes in
Elmira and famous racing stable.
Fred Was cut-Up.

ardson, reported arrested in Chicago
ago, when his shoe factory was sold
under the hammer. He had a fine
home a beautiful wife and two daugh
tiers and they entertained lavishly
But bankruptcy came and the wife
left him and of late Richardson is un'
derstood to have been living with an
other woman in Chicago.
The charge against Richardson
grows out of his solicitation after
large loans on the representation that
his company was solvent, whereas i,
was on the verge of bankruptcy
From one bank here he is said to have
borrowed 100000 on the strength Of
such representations. He admitted
when on the stand in bankruptcy pro
ceedings that he had so represented
1t was not thought criminal charges
would be pressed against him and the
news of his arrest in Chicago came as
a surprise.

AT Three O'clock in Afternoon
First East Bound Car in
Over a Year Will Leave the
City for Dayton. :.
SHIPPERS ARE JOYOUS
AND WILL CELEBRATE
For Time Being Dayton and
Western Freight Cars Will
Use Main Street Line-Big
Business Assured.

Freight service between Richmond
and Dayton, Ohio, will be resumed by
the Dayton & Western Traction COM
pany tomorrow. The first east bound
freight car that has left the city for
more than a year is scheduled to leave
at 8 o'clock in the afternoon. 1t will
carry a load of merchandise to be dis
tributed at various points along the
line. Shippers have been notified of
the contemplated service and it is ex-
pected the first car will be well sup
piled.
Merchants Are Happy.
There is no doubt but that the mer-
chants of this city will rejoice greatly
at the renewal of service on the part
of the Dayton & Western. During the
time the freight service has been an
nulled the merchants of this city have
been put to great Inconvenience. The
service was stopped as the result OF
the attitude of the local council which
demanded that the company obtain q
franchise. The company demurred and
persisted in its attitude. Council
passed an ordinance that made the
company liable to fine, if it operated
its freight cars. When matters as.
sumed this climax, the company sus
pended its freight business entirely
and since then has not run a car.
Use Main Street Line.
For the time being the freight cars
will make use of the tracks on Main
street. AS soon as the new interur
ban freight depot is completed and the
North e and D street line of tracks
made ready for use. the cars are to be
taken from the Main street line. From
that time on the freight cars will
leave Main street at Twenty-third and
return. when westward bound. a,
Fifth street. This will give the allied
traction lines through freight and pas
senger service from Terre Haute
Indiana, to Columbus. Ohio

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Till
man. whose transactions with refer
.ence.-te the requirement of certain
lands in Oregon we're extensively ex-
plotted by President Roosevelt in a
letter to Senator Hale, said today that
some important documents bearing on
the matter had disappeared from his
desk
He does not charge that his desk
was broken into. but merely states
that papers are now missing which
his secretary put in a certain pigeon
hole last spring, before the adjourn
ment of congress.
Senator Tillman was busily engross
ed today in his reply to the presidents
allegations regarding the Oregon land
scandal To reported for the Hearst
News Service he said:
Is Entirely Serene.
Il am entirely serene over the sit
uation and confident of my complete
vindication and the presidents dis
comforture."
Asked as to the status of William
E. Lee, as his representative the sen
ator said that Mr.. Lee had announced
his intention to go west for the pur
pose of looking into the Oregon land
proposition and he had authorized him
to investigate the quality of the land
SO that he. the senator. would no,
be the victim of a gold brick trans
action" Lee was also to look into
the characters of the men, Reeder and
Watkins.
President Personal.
AS regards the presidents reference
to Senator Tillman's letters to Reedel
and Watkins on Nov. Is. the senator
said that the president seeks to con
vey the impression that a member OF
congress has not the right to buy lane
as an individual and he thinks thai
the presidents italics in his letter in
reference to his own criticism makes
the matter a personal as we'll as &
legislative one.
Regarding the franking abuse:
which the president charges, Senator
Tillman said that for years he ha:
sent his typewriter home through the
mails by the franking privilege ant
that not until after the episode at tn,
white house and Mr.. Barnes appoint
ment as postmaster was any question
raised about it. Following the appoint
ment of Barnes, Senator Tillman wa.
presented with a bill for SIC. Th'
senator informed the postmaster tha
