PANAMA SCANDAL CASE.
Government Wins a Point After a
Sharp Controversy.

Indianapolis, Ind, June 2.-After a
sharp controversy, in which the court
took a prominent part, over the merits
of the Panama scandal" the govern
ment won a point today in its prose-
cution of Charles L. Williams and Del
a.van Smith, owners of the Indianapolis
News, indicted by a grand jury in the
District of Columbia on the charge of
criminal libel in publishing intima-
tions that there was enormous graft
in the purchase of the Panama canal
by the United States.
This was the second day of the hear
ing before Judge Anderson in the
United States district court on the
governments application for an order
removing the defendants to the Dis
trict of Columbia for trial.
At the request of Federal Attorneys
Stuart Mcnamara and Charles w.
Miller, Judge Anderson continued the
case until October II to permit the
prosecution to introduce as witnesses
Frank H. Hitchcock, former chair
man Of the republican national COM
mittee; Norman E. Mack, chairman of
the democratic national committee;
George B. Cortelyou, certain members
of the Office staff of ]. p Morgan &
Co., and certain officers of various de-
partments of the government at Wash
ington.
The defense protested against a con-
tinuance, saying that the government
should have been prepared by this
time to submit all it's evidence. The
court at first seemed to approve, but
on statement by the opposing coun-
sci as to what it was expected to prove
by the new witnesses, the court decid-
ed to hear the further evidence.

Who Taunted Him as Fighter.


Washington, June 2.-Speaker Can
non. who SPARED recently with Phil
adelphial Jack" O'Brien at the latter
training camp, demonstrated his pugi-
listic ability again yesterday. 'Uncle
Joe" was sitting In his Office in the
capitol smoking a long black cigar
when Alexander McDowell,s clerk of the
house, entered.
Whats all this hear about your
prowess with the 1nitts?" said NFcDow-
ell, tauntingqy. "The only way you
us that so?" drawled the speaker,
without removing his cigar. Dye

up your dukes right now and Ill show

Mcdowell laughingly raised his
hands as Uncle Joe" sprang to his
feet. He advanced his right foot awk-
wardly and thrust his right hand out
before him.
"Oh! come. come" said the speaker.
Get in proper position. You don't
know anything about the game You
look like an elderly lady trying to
shoe chickens out of a garden patch.
Put your left foot forward and guard
with your left arm. That's better.
Now. look out!"
With the warming Uncle Joe" made
few feints that had the effect Of
completely demoralizing Mcdowell.
Sidestepping quickly, he feinted wick
edly with his left for the Mcdowell
chin, and. as the clerk threw up both
guards, drove hard one into the Off
ciaPs ribs.
"Ughl" said Mcdowell, and look of
panied surprise crept over his face
ut was a shame to do it." said
'Uncle joe" picking up his cigar and
starting for the door.

Raiyway Co. was tied up today, fol-
lowing a strike of the 125 conductors
and motormen.
Late tonight, although a conference
was in progress, the situation was still
unadjusted. A demand of the men
for an increase Of one cent an hour
and for a ten-hour working day. led
to the strike, which according to the
company officials, came as a surprise
to them In view of the fact that they
had arranged to have conference
with the employees later in the week
on the question. During the day the
company announced that it had start
ed plans for re-opening all its thirty
miles of lines with new and expert
enced men tomorrow. The strike lead
ers issued a statement asserting that
two attempts On their part to approach
the officials of the company for a con-
ference had been rebuffed' Then May
or William H. MacInnis brought
about a conference between the Off
cials and the men. The conference be-
gan at the offices in the car barns
about o'clock, and was still in ses-
sion at a late hour. d. r. Fitzgerald,
a member of the general executive
board of the Amalgamated Association

Wild Rush Of Women for Finery at New York
Custom House Sale
UNMADE ROBES, LACEs, WAISTS GLOVES
Strenuous Bidding by More than Six Hundred Women
suited in Turbulent Auction -Pickpockets, Too,
Added to the Excitement-Co Collector Loeb on Watch
for the Smugslers-dish Prices Obtained

New York. June 2.--More than six
hundred women and a handful OF men
hHed the civil service room in the
custom house to the doors today, when
the sale of dress goods forfeited to
the government for violation OF the
customs laws was held BY William
Henkel, United States marshal.
Tempestuous Scene.
Some four hundred items, including
gowns, waists, unmade robes. laces,
and gloves, were to be auctioned. and
the women, most OF whom had in
spected the goods at yesterdays pub
lie view, put no curb upon their i'm
patience to obtain various articles that
had caught their fancy. The result
was a turbulent auction. Time after
time the sale was halted while order
was restored, and the marshal was
constantly obliged to appeal for ST.
lence. or to command IL. threatening to
clear the room of the noisy ones. who,
at times, 1t must be said. comprised
almost the entire audience.
Record Attendance.
Bidding therefore did not proceed
too briskly, and in the early afternoon
Marshal Henkel would not venture to
say how many days the auction would
continue. Prices were satisfactory to
him, and in all ways except that Of
expedition he pronounced the sale an
unqualified success. In point of at
tendance, he said, it was the largest
in the history of the custom house.
Piekpockets There, Too.
When the auction was at it's height.
Henkel learned that several pickpock-
cts had made their way into the room.
As some of the women carried we'll
filled purses, the danger of robbery
was apparent. Henkel Interrupted the
sale to announce that he was aware
Of the presence of pickpockets and
warned bidders TO look to their valua-
bles.
He sent inspectors to various parts
of the room with instructions to keep
their eyes open and arrest any sus-
picious person promptly. The crowd
ed condition of the room will be ap-
preciated when ii is stated that many
women stood on the window sills.-

How to Defeat Massachusetts Purpose
Of Getting Control Of Billiards Shares.

. Hartforl, June 1T seems not to be
Rgenerally understood that Massachu-
Bsetts real purpose in desiring to get
b. control again Of the shares Of Boston
Z. L. Billiard of Meriden is to eventually
B cause the New York, New Haven and
4 Hartford to move its general offices to
EsBoston and thus gain control of the
k.great railroad corporation, born and
#fostered in Connecticut, and in which
Esahis state takes such justifiable pride
" The effort to incorporate the Billiard
company under special charter to hold
and own this Boston and Maine stock
which amounts to about 10000 shares
and is the controlling interest, is really
intended to fortify Connecticut against
this sort of thing.
II this state desires to lose the New
j Haven road, a step in that direction
will be to refuse the Billiard company
r incorporators their charter except un-
der conditions so restrictive that they
/ would not find 1t to their advantage to
comply with them as some of the
members of the house of representa-
tives in the state legislature seem de-
eirous Of doing. Massachusetts is now
preparing to charter q company to hold
! these shares, but has no chance of
getting the shares back into that state
TO hold, If Connecticut sees the situa-
tion with sufficient clearness to con-
Eerce her own interests.
That there Will eventually be a mer-
! ger of the Boston and Maine with the
/ New York. New Haven and Hartford
seems a logical conclusion, and If at
4 the time the Boston and Maine should
be controlled by a Connecticut COM
! pafy located in this state, Connecticut
will hold the key to the railroad situa-
: ton Of New England and have the
} head Offices of the whole system In
&@w Haven. Otherwise the Connecti-
cut cities may readily become but way
/ stations between Boston and New
/ York, and the head offices of the New
