We Can't Help Saying 1t.

A new animal appeareth-
4 poor little stray.
He wears a Democratic tag
But hasn't any bray.
His trail is up through Somerset
Momently fearing missiles,
Obediently on his way
When Dan Mack whistles.
His sobbing wracks the little frame;
His mien is most tor!orn
He's looking for a place to die
Redistrieting is on
Sadly on the cold night winds
His plaintive blaatings float.

TILT WITH COUNSEL
Hammond Objects to Ques-
tons in SuIIy Hearing.
FALSEHOOO IS ALLEGED
Will Refuse to Give Further Testi-
mony Unless Compelled
by the Court.

John Hays Hammond, defendant in a
suit to recover 81. 800 900 damages brought
against him by Daniel j. Sully of New
York. for alleged defamation of char
acter. must be compelled to give any
further testimony "a a witness called on
behalf of the plaintiff. Mr.. Hammond
so declared emphatically yesterday when
he abruptly left the witness stand at the
hearing before Examiner Harper.
Acting under advice of counsel. the
witness stated he would not proceed I'M
less specifically directed by the court so
to do.
The unexpected action of Mr.. Ham
mond followed a tilt with John c. Git
tings, counsel for Sully, who had char
asterized as ''falsehood' the statement
made by Hammond that Cuttings was at
tempting to entrap him.
Calls Counsel "Another."
You're another" said Mr.. Hammond
at once, leaning forward in his chair
and glaring defiance at Mr.. Cuttings.
After pause the witness repeated, with
added emphasis, you're another
Attorney Philip Walker. who is repre-
senting Mr.. Hammond. fearing personal
encounter between witness and opposing
counsel. sprang between them. Neither
counsel nor witness made any demonstra-
ton, however, but when Mr.. Walker in
terposed. Mr.. Hammond left the witness
chair and nervously paced the floor for a
few minutes. He shortly afterward re-
stunned the witness stand, but the hearing
terminated, as Mr.. Walker had decided to
have thescourt pass on the relevancy Of
certain questions which Mr.. Cuttings had
propounded to the witness.
Mr.. Cuttings had the examiner note in
the record the refusal of the witness to
proceed, and remarked that he would
also call the matter to the attention of
the court.
The outbreak between witness and Mr..
Cuttings was foreshadowed early in the
session yesterday. The sensational de-
nouement came when the attorney asked
the witness IL he had not admitted at
the first session that his interest in the
big cotton warehousing scheme proposed
to him by Mr.. Sully. was purely altruistic.

Visit to Hirsch Syndicate.

Referring to Mr.. Sully's visit to the
Ifirsch syndicate in Paris, Mr.. Ham
mond said: IF Mr.. Sully had endeavored
to secure any money from the Hirsch
syndicate in spite of my cablegram it
would have been an attempt to rob them
of money
Mr.. Hammond testified that Mr.. Dore-
mus told Sully not to say the gin was
a commercial gin. and that Sully told him
to keep quiet IL he wanted any more
money out of it; that he was mana ging
the matter. 1t was further stated by Mr..
from what Mr.. Sully had led him to
believe, and that Sully could not make
him believe the gin was a commercial
proposition.

Accused of Laying "a Trap

You are trying to mislead me, and if
I were in court I should ask protection, -
replied Mr. Hammond in anger. If
gard to the original plans for warehous-
ing cotton submitted to me by Mr.. Sully
and exhibited by me to former Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury Frank l. Van
derlip, I became financially interested
after the formation of the General Cot
ton Securities Company"
You have counsel here to protect
you, and l am sure you are in no
danger said Mr.. Cuttings. II have not
asked any improper questions"
You're picking at something to en-
trap me- said the witness.
You are stating falsehood," re-
joined Mr.. Cuttings.
The first matter discussed at the hear
ing yesterday was the charge of plagi-
arism made by Mr.. Hammond against
Mr.. Sully in connection with the cotton
warehousing scheme. Mr.. Cuttings ask
circular from which it was alleged
Sully had formulated his plan for ware
housing cotton. Counsel presented to
witness a copy of Mr.. Sullys plan and
asked him to compare them The wit
ness picked out one section in the Sully
plan which he claimed was similar to
Tompkins' scheme.
Replying eto a question by Attorney
Cuttings as to when he first became sus-
picious of Mr. Sully. Mr.. Hammond said
where he was negotiating with the Hirsch
syndicate for the sale of the gin: that his
sole basis for his lack Of confidence in
Sully was a basis of test coupled with
that the gin was failure; that he had
never seen a commercial gin, and also
in view of the fact that Sully had pre-
pared to sell stock to the public

LEADER OF SUFFRAGETTE
RIOTS SENTENCED TO JAIL
BY Associated Press,

London, Nov. 23.-Mrs. Patrick Law
renee, leader Of Tuesdays suffra gette
riots, was today the central figure OF
the trial of those arrested during the
demonstration.
Standing unconcernedly in the en-
closure at the Bow street court, she
listened to the evidence in support of
the charge Of assaulting the police and
obstructing them in the performance
of their duty. When the magistrate
sentenced her to months imprison-
ment she did not finch. According to
the evidence Mrs. Lawrence struck a
policeman in the face twice and
struggled for fifteen minutes when she
was arrested and taken away.
Mrs. Kathleen Rothwell managed to
deliver brief speech in spite of the
protests of the magistrate.
1t is out of my great love for hui
mainly and particularly my devotion
to women and children that I did this, -
she said. Sex disqualif cation is the
root of all social evils and I am pre-
pared to do anything the militant
branch of the suffragettes dictates in
order to gain the vote for women"

connects with the National Railways
of Mexico.
The New Orleans, Mobile & Chi
cago's extension to be constructed
northward from Middleton, Tenn, will
connect the Frisco subsidiary with the
Memphis & Paducah division of the
Louisville & Nashville, leased by the
latter to it's subsidiary, the Nashville,
Chattanooga & ST Louis railway. The
Memphis & Paducah division extends
northward to Paducah, across the
Ohio river, from which point is the
Chicago & Eastern Illinois railroad. a
short line to Chicago.
The Gould interests held out the
hope of a revision of their agreement
with the Frisco, which, it is supposed,
would have represented a diminution
of the amount of betterment work
which they would be obliged to do on
their lines between Memphis and New
Orleans; but further delay and the re-
casting of the agreement did not ap-
peal to the Frisco management, whose
view is that it has now made a much
more advantageous arrangement, in
volving no loss of time in beginning
operation, giving it short line all the
way from Chicago to the Gulf of Mexf-
CO and enabling it to utilize fully its
controlled road, the New Orleans, Mo-
bile & Chicago, which has now a ton
mage of 5000 to $4,000 cars a year,
which the Frisco can handle from the
outset.
