WOMAN DEFiES A COURT
AND SAVES SPITE FENCE
Pittsburg Matron Routes OFFICERS
With Garden Hose.

Pittsburg, Jan. 19.-When six stall
wart men appeared at the home Of
Mrs. Minnie Linn, in Larimer avenue,
today to tear down a 40-foot spite
fence, which Mrs. Linn built several
months ago between her home AMI
that of James Flemming, Mrs. Linn
fixed a garden hose and threatened
to douse the men. If that failed, she
told them, she and he son would use
whatever other measures were de-
manded to protect her property.
1t was the application for a liquor
license for the Fleming place that
led to the erection of the fence. Once
it was torn down, but Mrs. Linn had
it replaced. Saturday a court order
was made for its removal, but Mrs.
Linn was so determined today that
the workmen decided to withdraw for
further advice before carrying OUT
the order.

SENATOR FLETCHER OF FLORIDA,
SAYS SECRETARY is NOT FIT
FOR OFFICE.
Speaking for Minority of investigating
mands that Man the Republicans
Whitewashed, Be Ousted.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator
Fletcher, of Florida, member of the
Ballinger-Pinchot investigation COM
mittee, addressed the senate today IN
support of the Purcell resolution de-
claring Secretary Ballinger should no
longer lie retained in Office
Not Fitted for Office.
In further indictment of the secre-
tary, he said that Secretary Ballinger
is not man best fitted for the office
he holds; that his conduct, associa-
tions and influence justly aroused the
suspicion that he has been and is in
clined to favor private interests rath-
er than care for those of the public.
While no actual corruption is
shown" continued Senator Fletcher,
1T can scarcely be said ne is guiltless
of official wrongdoing of nature w9r-
ranting criticism
Not in Sympathy.
He was not in sympathy with the
advocates of conservation as defined
by the president and his predecessor
and by direction and more Or less de-
ception he set about doing that which
caused serious injury.
''He has been unfaithful both to the
public, whose property he has endan-
gered, and to the president, whom he
has deceived.
Secretary Ballinger's methods we
cannot approve. They are tie ordi-
nary methods of the boss in politics.
His administration we cannot in
dorse 1t is the form of administra-
ton well recognized as of machine
stamp. His standards of official con-
duct and public duty we must con-
denim. They are two ideals OF the
profeesionai poiiti elan which LEAD 70
traffic in public office"

PROSECUTION IS
READY TO CLOSE
STATE HAS ONLY FEW MORE
WITNESSES TO INTRODUCE IN
SCHENk CASE.
Alma Evans, a Nurse, Was on the
Witness Stand Yesterday, But Her
Testimony Did Not Prove to Be
Very Important.

ssWheeling, w. Va, Jan. 1s.-The
trial of Mrs. Laura Farnsworth
Schenk moved along drearily after
court opened this morning, the prose-
cution making efforts to conclude It's
side of the case with the calling OF
a few minor witnesses.
Tue defense probably will begin tie
introduction of its testimony tomoI-
row, and it is not likely that Mrs.
Schenk will be called to disprove the
testimony of certain states witnesses
that she bought poison from Wheeling
druggists prior to the discovery that
her husband was suffering from arse
mic poisoning.
Alma Evans, a nurse, testified that
while she was in Schenk's home nurs-
ing Schenk, he frequently had crying
fits.
did Mrs. Schenk ever talk to you
concerning her gentlemen friends?
asked the attorney.
Yes" answered Mrs Evans. "One
day / was in the parlor with her when
she showed me flower basket, and
told me she appreciated it highly. 1t
was given her with violets she said,
by special gentlemen friend Of
hers"
Nurse Evans denied that she ever
placed arsenic into water used by
John o. Schenk.
did Mrs. Schenk ever narrate i'm
proper stories about herself and other
men?" she was asked.
"She did" answered the nurse, VINO
refused later to repeat the stories.

Russei, City Clerk, Passed Several
Blows Before Friends Interfered and
Stopped the Fight.

Considerable excitement was Great.
ed yesterday morning on Newcastle
street in front of Bruce's drug store,
hy a hand-to-hand fight between ax-
Mayor r. R. Hopkins and City Clerk
N. D. Russell. Though the fight last
ed only few minutes, when friends
interfered, it was fast and furious for
the short time that it did last.
Just what led up to the fight is not
known, but it is understood that it
was the result of a remark made by
the city clerk concerning ]. H. Hop
kins, alderman from the First ward,
and son of the ex-mayor The remark,
it is understood, reached Mr.. Hop
kins and when he met Mr.. Russell
yesterday morning he asked for al
explanation. A few heated worcs
passed between the two gentlemen
and in less time than it takes to re-
late it, they were engaged in fight.
Several licks passed between the two
men before friends interfered and sep
arated them.
AS is well known among most cltl-
zens, good feeling has not existed De-
tween these two gentlemen for sever
al months as the result of differences
arising between them when Mr. Hop
kins was mayor.
While several blows were delivered
in the fight yesterday by both men,
neither of them were injured and 1t
is not expected that there will be any
further difficulty between them.

JURY IS AFTER
THE V|0LATORS
EXPECTED THAT MANY TRUE
BILLS WILL BE RETURNED
BY GRAND JURY.
All the Railroad Agents, Express
Agent and Others, Were Before
the Body Yesterday to Testify
About Whisky Shipments.

The Glynn county grand Jury was
in session from 8 o'clock yesterday
morning until late in the afternoon.
and if reports are to be believed, the
entire day was spent by the jury in
an investigation of the violation of
the prohibition law in the county, with
the result that a large number OF
true bills were returned, if indeed
some of them were not handed into
the court when the body adjourned
yesterday.
1t is understood that during t1e
day the agent of every railroad line
entering the city, of some of the
steamboat lines, the express agent
and others were before the jury, it
being their purpose to ascertain from
these officials the names of various
people throughout the county who are
receiving an unusually large ship
ment of whisky OF course none of
the members of the jury would state
after they adjourned yesterday what
indictments had been found during
the day, but it is believed that a num-
Der of true bills were found
And from all reports, the worst is
yet to come, as the grand jury in
tends to continue a rigid investiga-
ton and it is the intention of the
members to indict every person WHO
has in any way whatever violated the
new law in this county. Before the
iurV finishes ifs work cOmn very sem
sational developments may be record
ed.
At any rate, many people in this
county who have violated the prohi-
bition, as we'll as other laws, are on
the anxious bench, and, from the talk
emerging from the grand jury room
Ssei may they he.

WOMEN IN INDIA.

The women of India have no de-
sire whatever to become emancipated
They like a comfortable home, they
love their children, jewels and pretty
clothes and sweetmeats and gossip,
and they like also TO drink sherbet
made of melon and sweetened with
rosewater. The Indian woman likes
to be married and her husband is her
god. in all other things she is in
different. A survey of woman's in
huence discloses the fact that they
are at that stage of slavery where the
serf, though suffering the horrors of
thralldom, has become so Indifferent
that he does not appreciate and, in
deed, stoutly resists proffered release,
Many slaves actually take pride in
the letters that chain them, Special
ly when the coming STAKEHOLDER gilds
and bejewels these shackles. The
woman Of India is suffering, yet she
wants to be left alone to 60 on suffer
