in BeIleyue-stratford Hotel.

New York, June 20-AIrs. Howard
Gould. accompanied by J. T. Sturdevant
OF Lawyer Clarence Shearn's Office, ar
rived over the Pennsylvania Railroad
shortly after ? o'clock to-day from her
trip 70 Philadelphia
Mrs. Gould refused 10 have anything
70 say about the purpose Of her trip or
what had been accomplished, but no at
tempt to conceal that it was for the
purpose OF refuting the testimony OF the
two employees of the Bellevue-Stratford
Hotel in Philadelphia. with regard 10 Dus-
tin Farnum. was made by Mr.. Sturde-
want.
Mary Elizabeth Harrison and Florence
Garner who We're formerly floor clerk
and maid at the hotel, have so far given
the most damaging testimony in the
Gould case. That Mrs Gould and her
lawyers realized this fact was evidenced
by Saturdays hurried departure for Phil
adelphia- Mrs Gould arrived in Phila-
delphia early Saturday afternoon Law
renee Maresch. assistant manager OF the
Beilevue-Stratford was sent for, and
had long talk with Mrs. Gould.
Hotel Maids Refuted.
The hotel register for October. 1906, the
time at which the Farnum-GOuld party
was at the hotel, was brought 10 Mrs
Gould's room, on the same floor as thar
occupied by her during the first visit
The number Of the rooms occupied was
taken, and then Mrs. Gould and Sturde-
want started out to see If they could
see with their own eyes an that the two
former hotel maids have testified 10
seeing.
The room occupied by Dustin Farnum,
which was two floors below that occupied
by Mrs. Gould, was the frs; point Of at
tack Sturdevant, il was said, tried 70
see II he could exactly locate a room en-
tered by a person. a maid, al the far end
OF the han from where the floor clerk
sat. TO spot the door was hardly posi-
bic, and il is understood that witnesses
Will be brought on from Philadelphia at
the proper time 20 testify that Farnum's
bed could not be seen and Il would be
impossible to tell whether IL had been
occupied or not at a glance from the door
way.
Makes Another Test.
On the floor in which Miss Harrison
had her desk. Mrs. Gould's floor, another
test was made. Miss Harrison has testf-
fed she saw Farnum leave Mrs. Gould's
room at in the morning. She said she
saw him leave by means OF a mirror placed
over her desk What Mrs Gould OF her
attorney found out relative TO this could
not be learned, but from the jubllant ap-
pearance Of both Il was 10 be inferred
that whoever tried It on Saturday failed
10 be able 70 make out much.
1t is thought that Mrs. Gould also Sc
cured the consent Of the women now en-
ployed in the places OF Miss Harrison
and Miss Garner to come on to New
York and testify
This fact could not be confirmed here,
rs Mr.. Sturdevant would make no com
menr on any part Of the trip. except 10
say that, Of course, It had to do with the

FEDERAL GRAIN INSPECTION.

Much importance is attached by grain growers of the country to the MacOmber bill, pending in congress, which provides for the federal inspec- tion of all grain. It Is thought that a charge of from 35 to 75 cents per car will cover the cost of inspection and grading, which will be given consignment of grain and remain as its standard until disposed of. AS things are now there seem to be as many different standards of judging as there are men and markets, with no attempt at uniformity. Sharpers in the grain buying centers take ad- vantage of this situation, buying grain of the farmer as a given grade and selling it to a third party without touching as q grade higher. thus cheat
 ing the grower out of a margin of profit to which he is in all justice rightly entitled. The bill means mere ly a square deal for the parties most interested and should become a law.
