DUBUQUE THOUGHT
HE WAS THERE
Sensation Monday When Carmichael
Was Reported to be in
That City.

The Dubuque Times Journal of Mon
day evening contained the following:
Dubuque police circles were given
q jar at noon Monday when it was
currently reported that the Rev. John
Hamiland Carmichael, wanted for the
murder of Gideon Browning n the
Battle Run, Mich, church on Tuesday
night, had been captured and jailed
here.
1t is needless to say the report is
false. The man was never closer to
Dubuque than Carthage, H.. where
he successfully attempted suicide on
Monday afternoon by cutting his
throat with his razor The act at self
destruction led to his identity.
He died two hours later.
The LEGAL police, however, were no
tilted of the murder at Battle Run
and asked to check UP all incoming
trains, with hope of picking up the
crooked divine.
The following telegram was receiv
ed Sunday by the police from the
Port Huron authorities:

When the heart action is
weak, it fails to pump the blood
through the lungs with sufficient
rapidity. Then the lungs do not
absorb the proper amount of
oxygen, although they may be
taking in a normal amount of
air. The result is shortness of
breath, smothering spells, diff
cult breathing, oppressed feeling
in chest. DR.. Miles Heart Rem

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 13.-Patrick
Calhoun, president of the United rail-
roads and the capitalist whom Francis
j. Heney regards as the arch-plotter OF
the so-called "higher-ups against
whom the graft prosecution has been
warning for over two years-went to
trial today. His case was called in
Judge Lawlors court, where, nearly
four weeks ago, Abe Ruef was con-
victed of offering to one OF the hood
ling supervisors the bride which Cal
houn is accused of having placed in
his hand.
Calhoun has fumed at the delays
which the graft prosecution inter-
posed heretofore whenever he demand
ed a speedy trial He has accused
Heney, Detective Burns, District At
torney Langdon and Rudolph Spreck-
els of needlessly prolonging the sus-
pense Both sides in the fight are out
for blood In the language of the
ring, knockout is all that will end
the struggle. San Francisco, realizing
the intensity of the animosities which
sway the warning factions, is watching
the case with bated breath, for on its
outcome hangs the fate of the graft
prosecution. Calhoun, rich, shrewd
and resourceful, has engaged the clev-
crest lawyers he could find and has
surrounded them and himself with a
small army of private detectives, in
tently watching every move manlde by
Burns and his agents. Prosecutor
Honey expects to win, despite such op-
Losition Two years warfare in this
city has taught him what to expect
from his opponents, and he has
learned the weak spots in the armor of
his enemies. Heney asserts that the
evidence which will be presented
against Patrick Calhoun will be strong
er than that used in any of the three
trials of TREY L. Ford, chief counsel
for the United railroads, and that used
in convicting Abe Ruef.
Calhoun is accused of having offered
bride to former Supervisor Fred P.
Nicholas, one of the boodling city Of
ficials, who confessed his crimes and
received llllluuully III Tie Spl iiS vi
1907. Calhoun was jointly indicted on
March 20, 1908. with Abe Ruef and
TREY l.. Ford, chief counsel for the
street railroad company. The charge
was that they corruptly Influenced the
supervisors to vote for the trolley
franchise Immediately after the fire
of April 1906. Calhoun's trial has
been delayed despite seventeen in.
dictments voted against him. his joint
defendants, Ruef and TREY l.. Ford,
have both been tried Ruef was con.
victed and Ford was thrice tried with
out a conviction. Ford's trial attract
ed great attention, as it was generally
felt that the prosecution was trying
out its ammunition on Calhouns at
torney before firing at the millionaire
himself. Ford was first tried in Sep
TENDER, 1907, on the indictment charg-
ing him with offering a bride to for
mer Supervisor Thomas F. Lonergan.
