Probably 95 per cent of the ballots

The fight for several local Offices among

Is Seventy-0ne Years Old and Gets
a Ten-Year Sentence

TRENTON, y. j., September a.-Ths
criminal career OF the king OF pick
pockets was probably ended here yester-
day, when Judge Gnichtel sent James
Newman, alias Kid Carter, to the New
Jersey state prison for ten years at hard
labor. Newman is now seventy-one years
old
Newmans life has been that Of a
modern Fagin. Since 1858 he has piled
his trade pickpocket. and during recent
years he has acted in the capacity OF in
structor for young men. He is said To
have made a practice of gathering youths
criminally inclined, and teaching them
his trade. These pupils would turn over
the days proceeds to their tutor, and he
would make the division.
For several months Newman and one
OF his students. Howard Sternburg, TWEEN
~ years old. have been operating on the
crowded trolley cars which come into
Trenton from the country towns. Their
business was profitable, but Sternburg
was caught one day. and through infor-
nation furnished by him Newman's part
was disclosed. Because OF his assistance
10 the police. the youth got off with a
hve-year sentence.
Newman's prison experiences have in
cluded the following: In 1898 three years
in the eastern penitentiary. Philadelphia
In 1877, three years in Moyamensing pris-
on, Philadelphia: in 1890. five years in
New Jersey state prison. 1901, three years

SURPRISES THE DETECTIVES.
Farmers Daughter Knew Where
Wennerstrom' Automobile Was.

CHICAGO. ILL.,. September 9..-The
woman element. hitherto absent from the
mystery of the murder of Frederick won-
nerstrom. developed today when de-
tectives interviewed Pearl Trimble. the
pretty eighteen-year-old daughter of
Robert Trimble. a farmer who resides
near the scene of the murder.
Miss Trimble surprised the detectives
by admitting that she had known for
some time that Wennerstroms automo-
bile was in the grove where the search
ers found ii only yesterday. She knew
Wennerstrom. she said, but knew moth
ing about the murder. Her mother told
the police that a strange man Was seen
on the farm on the night OF the murder,
and again on the following night, Her
daughter. she admitted, was acquainted
with number of Chicago men. No light
was shed on the discovery of pieces OF
feminine apparel in the machine. miss
Trimble declared that the garments did
not belong to her.
The authorities incline strongly to the
belief that Wennerstrom's murder was
In some way connected with labor-slug-
ging cases. 1t is said that his body was
weighted in a manner similar to that in
two other cases where the victims, first
slugged and thrown into the Chicago
river. were believed TO have been victims
of hired sluggers.

Cotton Seed Millers Make Charges to
Commerce Commission.

Demand was made upon the interstate
commerce commission yesterday in a
complaint filed by the Red River Oil
Company and other Louisiana manu-
facturers against the Texas and Pacific
and other railroads that the concentra-
ton charge of from | cent to ; cents a
hundred pounds on cotton seed be de-
clared unreasonable and unlawful.
The cotton seed milers assert that the
concentration charge Is refunded to them
when the products of the seed to the eN-
tent of 10 per cent of the received ship
ments are forwarded to interstate desti-
nations or to New Orleans for export,
but. meantime. a large amount of their
money is tied up in the hands of rail-
roads.
1t is declared that the concentration
charge is "a scheme or device" to COM
pei the milers to ship their products
over the same line from which the seed
was received, or, in default of doing so.
Ito be subjected to a penalty of from %
cents to 81 ton in freight charges"
1t is asserted that the concentration
charge is not assessed upon New Orleans
or Baton Rouge shippers, and that. there
fore. they are afforded a great advantage
over shippers at competitive points.
