ACCUSED MEN
LOST THE ROUND
Court Refused to Grant a
Change of Venue to Rail
road Officials

Chicago. Aug. 27.-Attorneys for
three former high officials of the Illi-
nois Central raidroad, Frank b. Har-
riman. formerly general manager; j.
NJ. Taylor, storekeeper, and Charles
l.. Ewing, superintendent of the lines
north of the Ohio river. received a
setback on the first day of their GRIM
inal trial today, when Judge Brugge-
meyer refused the defendants a bill
of particular or a change Of venue.
The men are charged with partici-
pating in frauds by which the railroad
company is alleged to have been
mulcted out of more than $1,000, 900
through inflated car repair bills.
After listening to arguments, Judge
Bruggemeyer announced that testi-
mony would be taken and reserved the
right to hear arguments later as to
a bill of particulars.
Despite objections by attorneys for
the defense. the names of Ira G..
Rawn. former president of the Monon
route, who met death recently by a
bullet wound, J. E. Buker and VIII
liam Renshaw, former superintend-
ents of machinery of the Illinois Gen.
tral, were brought into the case in
the testimony of Theophil Reuther,
formerly general manager of the Os-
terman Car company, now employed
as locomotive engineer for the Illi-
nois Central road. His testimony was
placed in the record, but Judge Brug-
gemeyer asserted it might be stricken
out later, If attorneys for the prose-
cution failed to prove it material.
Reuther testified as to the organiza-
tion of the Osterman company. con-
cern to which Illinois Central cars
wer sent for repairs. He said he had
been ousted from his position as gen.
eral manager and director, that John
NJ. Taylor, one of the defendants,
might be made director. He asserted
the company was organized in 1906 to
make grain doors; that it later made
cement blocks and subsequently en-.
tered the business of repairing cars
for the Illinois Central.
Ruether then narrated a conversa-
tion he asserted Osterman had held
with him. in which the car company
head told Of presenting Taylor with

the Wishes and Commands of the

seul, Aug. 27.-Lieutenant General
Terauchi, the japanese resident gen.
eral in Korea and negotiator of the
convention of annexation, which, it
may be stated, will be officially pro-
mulgated next Monday. said today in a
statement to the correspondent of the
Associated Press regarding anncxa-
tion:
NO stone will be left unturned to
make the Koreans and the world feel
that the Japanese rule in Korea is a
beneficient thing. 1t will and must
imply no degradation for the natives,
who under annexation, will enjoy .x-
actly the same rights as the Japanese.
1t is the wish and command of the
emperor of Japan that every effort be
made to make the Koreans feel no
humiliation, but rather a relief. The
annexation policy of Japan in admin
istering the new portion of the empire
will be directed toward a steady im-
provement of conditions and the de-
velopment of the resources of Korea"

similar block to Ira G. Rawn. at that
time vice president of the road !;
Frank B. Hartman. j. E. Buker, as
sistant superintendent of machinery,
and to William Renshaw. superintend-
ent Of machinery of the Illinois Cen
tral.
In response to objections, the court
ruled this testimony might be stricken
out If the prosecution failed to prove
that Taylor had aided in sending ma
terial to the car concern. Reuther
was permitted to continue his narra-
tive and said:
"One Gay l was walking through
the yards with Osterman. when we
came upon huge pile of lumber. He
pointed to it and said, how much do
you think that pile of lumber is
worth, Reuther?' ] told him did not
know and asked him where he eX-
pected to get the money to pay for it,
"He replied that the lumber was
worth at least $4,000, and said he
would get the money to pay for it. A
while later we came upon many tiers
of brass journals and other brass car
parts. He said. there's some easy
money
Il said he had better look out for
that easy money business or that he
would get into trouble. Osterman re-
piled. oh, Taylor will take care OF
that"
Prior to Reuther's testimony, f. c,
Cowgirl. chief clerk to the president
of the railroad was called hy the
prosecution and testified as to the
ordinary procedure in connection with
the payment of vouchers.
First the department heads must
approve the voucher" he said. Then
it passed through the hands of other
officers of the company. and finally is
sent to the auditor of disbursements
for payment"
What were the duties of the vice
president in such a proceedings" he
was asked.

much suffering from the cold was to-
day reported to the department from
the troops fighting the forest fires in
the northern Rockies.
Captain Frazier Of the Fourteenth
infantry, who is in command Of the
camp about thirteen miles north Of
Belton, Mont. reported that the snow
and rain which had fallen, however,
had helped greatly in subduing the
fires. The need for troops, he re-

the foresters and rangers did their
duty.

Washington. Aug. 27-Estimating
the cost Of the experiment at about
800 0,000,. the war department ofiicials
today declined requests to order d
bombardment of the skies by all its
guns on Puget Sound and at the
mouth of the Columbia river in an
effort to bring on rain in the burning
forest district of the northwest In
addition to the objection of cost, the
army officials regarded the proposal
as certain to prove futile. The navy
department, to which similar re-
quest was made, expressed its will
ingness to cooperate with the army
with six or ten guns, the only ones at
its disposal.
The experiment would have been
one Of the most spectacular ever at
tempted in the United States. The
offlcials did not feel justified in in
curing the expense without specific
authorization from higher authority,
particularly in view of the amount al
ready spent nj putting thlrty-two COM
panies Of troops into the forest to
fight the fires.
To fire the biggest guns in the coast
artillery costs about $3.50 each, it
has been estimated. To fire the
twelve inch mortars, costs about $40
each.

MAYOR GAYNOR.

William Jay Gaynor, who was shot
by fanatic while aboard an ocean
steamer at Hobokcn yesterday, is the
son of poor western New York farm
er of Irish-English ancestry. He was
born in 1851 at Oriskany. Oneida coun-
ty, n. Y. Life was bitter struggle
for bare necessities on that little farm,
and Justice Gaynor's boyhood was one
of hard toll.
Mr.. Gaynor became resident in
1875 OF Flatbush, L. I where there
then existed q corrupt municipal gov
ernment. The young lawyer soon after
locating in Flatbush studied his sur
roundings Among other conditions
he ascertained the fact that Flatbush
had 40 liquor saloons, but only one sa-
loon license. After collecting salts
factory evidence concerning such illegal
conditions, he had the saloonkeepers
arrested and compelled them to obey
the law, which required them to take
out licenses. Then he started i'll to
elect honest public officials. Calling
the people Of the town together, he ex-
planned his desire for reform and ex-
posed the local bosses. Both political
machines in the town, OF course, COM
bined against him, but on election day
he elected his entire reform ticket by a
sweeping majority.
Having smashed the political rings
OF Flatbush, the young lawyer in 1885
changed his place OF residence to Brook
lyn, in which city Boss" Hugh Nc
Laughlin had welded despotic power
for quarter of a century. Mr. Gay
nor then studied the great Mclaughlin
ring, and formulated plan for the
overthrow of the Boss. His great
opportunity came in 1889, when the
town of New Lots was annexed to
Brooklyn. There was little water
company. in New Lots knownfas the
Long Island Water Supply Company.
The Mclaughlin ring secretly bought
up the company through dummies for
S1S5, 900, and then got Alfred G. Cha
pin, mayor of Brooklyn and his asSo-
ciates to make contract to buy it for
the city for about 81 500, ,000-a profit
forthe-Ting Of mort than $500, 900.
In the name of taxpayer Mr.. Gay
nor brought suit, paid all the cost him
self and defeated the scheme.
His next move was to compel the ele'
waited railroads in which the McLaugh-
lin ring was interested to pay taxes,
something they had never done.
The smashing of the Brooklyn
boss" was not the only fruit OF that
fight. 1t also resulted in the downfall
and imprisonmento of John Y. Mckauc,
the brutal and corrupt master OF Coney
Island one of the most evil and desper-
ate men in the state. He was chief OF
police. He had a padded list OF 1000
voters in township, which claimed
only 10000 inhabitants. He swung
this vote in mass from one party to
another, No man dared to dispute bis
power, for he was surrounded by thugs
who would not have hesitated at
murder.
